Concubine Ye was also a wise woman. She saw through the fact that the Emperor and the Grand Marshal had long been at odds. Although this marriage seemed to benefit the Murong family and gave the Crown Prince a powerful backer, it was unclear whether this backer would lead to his ascension or a deadly volcano.
Now Qian Yeming and Qian Yeze have been sentenced to death in the emperor's heart. Among the remaining three princes, two are her sons. It is really worth looking forward to who will win the throne!
Murong Xiao was worried about Qian Yeming, so she left with the excuse of going for a walk outside.
Not long after Murong Xiao left, Murong Qingyun also followed him out under the pretext of going for a walk outside.
Although Murong Qingyun knew that Xiao'er's appearance would attract the attention of other men, today's situation was still completely beyond his expectations.
He thought that his father and the queen would only arrange Xiao'er to marry Qian Yeming and would not marry her to princes of other countries. The emperor had also begun to fear the Marshal's Mansion. If he could avoid Xiao'er and choose one of the other daughters of the Murong Mansion, no matter who he chose, because of their illegitimate status, if she married Qian Yeming, she could only be the prince's concubine at most.
So from his point of view, even though Xiao'er came to the dinner, as long as she remained silent and did not shine too brightly, or as long as Qian Yeming looked down on her, nothing big would happen.
Who would have thought that Qianye Manqiao suddenly went crazy because Xiao'er was prettier than her, causing Xiao'er to become the focus and eventually attracting the admiration of princes from other countries.
When he saw Murong Xiao say so dejectedly that the person he loved was Qian Yeming, his heart almost broke.
Even though he knew that Xiao'er, this gem, could not be hidden no matter what, he still regretted today's situation. If he had known this would happen, he would never have let Murong laugh.
Fortunately, she was eventually betrothed to Qian Yeming. As long as she married Qian Yeming, there was still a possibility between them. Therefore, he had to find Xiao'er immediately and tell her his feelings: even if she became Qian Yeming's Crown Princess, as long as she didn't lose her virginity, they could still be together in the future.
Murong Qingyun wandered outside the palace for a long time but couldn't find Murong Xiao. She asked several palace maids passing by but they all said they didn't see him. Finally, she had to give up.
Murong Xiao looked frustrated and made an excuse to go out for some fresh air. After leaving the Taiji Hall, he took advantage of the situation and headed towards the Prince's Eastern Palace as if he was familiar with the route.
Under the not-so-bright moonlight of the first day of the lunar month, her royal blue dress looked almost black. Combined with her excellent concealment skills, she moved through the palace like she was in no one's home.
After sneaking into the East Palace quietly, Murong Xiao did not make any inquiries or stop, and went straight to a hot spring pool in the center of the water pavilion.
When the cold poison struck, and he had no way to control it, he always spent this day of the month soaking in hot springs. So finding him wasn't difficult; the hard part was avoiding the secret guards he had set up.
Many of the people in the Eastern Palace were spies for both the Emperor and the Empress. For self-protection, these spies were stationed on the periphery, while those around him were all his own forces. These people were all top assassins in the dark night, and their best skill was lurking.
Seeing a familiar figure, Murong Xiao's lips curled up slowly. The man who was pacing slowly outside the bathroom was called Qingfeng, one of Qian Yeming's four right-hand men.
