Mu Chenshuang returned to the Marquis's residence.
Linglong noticed that her mistress was wearing different clothes than when she arrived, and asked in confusion, "Miss, what are your clothes?"
Mu Chenshuang entered the room and said, "Help me change my clothes."
Linglong didn't ask any more questions and prepared another set of clothes for Mu Chenshuang to change into.
"Burn all of these."
Xiao Qingyu's clothes cannot be left with her.
Although Linglong had doubts, she still did as instructed.
"yes."
After Linglong left.
Mu Chenshuang sat on the couch, took a deep breath, and thought about what had happened in the palace that day.
Although the Empress saw Xiao Qingyu's disheveled appearance, due to the short time available, there was no way to prove that Xiao Qingyu had engaged in illicit relations with a man in such a short period of time. Xiao Qingyu would certainly defend herself, and for the sake of the Eastern Palace's reputation, the Empress would also investigate the matter.
Xiao Qingyu would definitely try to shift the suspicion onto her, but even so, she wasn't worried, since she wasn't afraid of anyone investigating.
Just as Mu Chenshuang was pondering.
Sui Sui's voice came, "Master, are you alright?"
Upon hearing Sui Sui's call, Mu Chenshuang closed her eyes and entered Sui Sui's space, saying, "I'm alright now."
Sui Sui breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that Master is alright. Master just inhaled the gas containing aphrodisiac, which has already affected the baby. Sui Sui used her spiritual power to dilute the aphrodisiac in Master's body."
That's why Mu Chenshuang woke up so quickly.
Mu Chenshuang realized why her body showed no abnormalities when she woke up; it was all thanks to Sui Sui's timely notice.
In order to conserve her spiritual power, Sui Sui is rarely awake, and she will not wake up unless there are special circumstances.
Inside the main courtyard at this time.
"Mother, do you think the Second Prince will really take Mu Chenshuang?" Mu Yazhi asked doubtfully.
Lu Wei smiled slightly and replied, "Mu Chenshuang's appearance is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Second Prince, and he has no reason not to seize it."
"But if the Second Prince really does that, wouldn't he offend Shen Nanzhi?"
"The deed is done, so what's the point of Shen Nanzhi's opposition? Besides, even if the Second Prince holds on, Mu Chenshuang might not be able to. Even if they don't succeed, the outcome will be the same if they are discovered."
Hearing her mother's words, Mu Yazhi smiled with satisfaction. "It would be great if they were caught in the act. It's a pity we can't see this good show. It's a bit too good for Mu Chenshuang to marry such a devilishly handsome man as the Second Prince."
Former Crown Princess, now Princess Weiyang, and finally married to an unfavored prince—this dramatic fall from grace is enough to make Mu Chenshuang the focus of gossip.
Then they'll add fuel to the fire in this public opinion, saying that Mu Chenshuang is seducing several men at the same time, that she is unchaste and immoral, that she has disgraced the royal family, and that she will be nailed to the pillar of shame for women and subjected to endless scorn.
The more Mu Yazhi thought about it, the more twisted the smile on her lips became.
At this moment.
A maidservant came to report, "Madam, Second Miss, the Princess has returned to the manor."
Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter were immediately taken aback.
"Mother, why is she back so soon?" Mu Yazhi felt inexplicably anxious. Had she been expelled from the palace?
Lu Wei looked at the maid and asked, "Who brought her back?"
The maid replied, "It is General Shen."
"Did you see what their expressions were like?"
The maid thought for a moment and replied, "I don't see anything wrong with it."
Mu Yazhi felt a sudden panic and asked urgently, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
The maid was startled by Mu Yazhi's raging flames. "Reporting to Second Miss, I am not mistaken. The Princess and General Shen are indeed not acting strangely."
As the maid spoke, she suddenly realized something, "Oh, it's just that the princess wore different clothes when she went there and when she came back."
Lu Wei knew this, of course. Hearing the maid's answer, she began to worry. Had something gone wrong again?
But that's absolutely impossible. The alluring fragrance is mixed with a poisonous fragrance that suppresses internal energy. If Mu Chenshuang inhales it, she will definitely be affected. She won't wake up for at least an hour. After she wakes up, her body will continue to be controlled by the alluring fragrance, so there will be absolutely no problem.
The Empress must have arrived with her entourage by now, after such a long time.
Moreover, the people she arranged made sure the Second Prince went to the Warm Heart Pavilion before leaving.
Or did Mu Chenshuang get rescued by Shen Nanzhi?
But how could Shen Nanzhi know where Mu Chenshuang went? Crown Prince Junheng was also by the emperor's side, so was Mu Chenshuang actually caught in adultery?
Just then.
Yao walked in quickly, "Madam."
Lu Wei looked at Yao Si and dismissed all the maids in the room. "Ya'er, you can go down now too."
Mu Yazhi muttered, "Is there anything I can't know?"
As soon as she asked the question, Lu Wei's face darkened, and Mu Yazhi was too frightened to ask another question, so she left the room.
Yao stepped forward and whispered, "Madam, the master wants you to go to him at 7 PM."
"What is it, sir?"
"No, you'll see when you get there, Madam."
Lu Wei felt a little uneasy. Tonight was New Year's Eve, and normally, unless there was an emergency, the adults rarely summoned her. She could only wait until tonight to see what it was about.
