The thought of Prince Xiaoyao helping Mu Chenshuang filled Xiao Qingyu with insane jealousy. Why did this woman receive so much protection from so many people?
Even if she weren't the Crown Princess, she would be a general's wife. Now there's the carefree Prince, and today in the Taixu Palace, Fu Junheng helped her up. Why is it that this woman can receive the favor and attention of so many outstanding men?
The more she thought about it, the more hatred welled up inside her.
“Now that you mention it, there is indeed a problem. It seems we need to investigate thoroughly. However, for now, we should be cautious. Let's put the plan on hold for the time being and observe the situation. We need to determine the exact relationship between this Prince Xiaoyao and Mu Chenshuang.”
Xiao Qingyu nodded.
Indeed, one cannot be too hasty; she almost fell into Mu Chenshuang's trap today.
"However, Yu'er, didn't you say she was bound to lose the match today?"
Xiao Qingyu didn't have time to ask Mu Yazhi, but Mu Yazhi clearly said that she had taken medicine and had eaten dragon beard soup today, but she had no reaction.
"I underestimated her."
Qi Rong held her hand and comforted her, "Alright, don't be too anxious, we have plenty of time. What about Mu Chenshuang now?"
"She hasn't shown up yet, she should be resting in her palace. Cousin, you should secretly send someone to observe her situation. I don't know why, but I have a strong feeling that Mu Chenshuang must have some unspeakable secret."
"I know."
Mu Chenshuang did not attend any events in the afternoon, only waiting for the evening banquet and fireworks display.
During her rest, palace maids would occasionally come in to bring her snacks. How could Mu Chenshuang not notice their unusual behavior? They were clearly there to monitor her.
As dusk approached, she needed to obtain the Dragon Blood Ginseng from the Imperial Household Department before the fireworks display began.
After resting for an afternoon and taking medicine, Mu Chenshuang felt much better and wore only light clothing for convenience.
"Linglong, you stay here and keep watch. If anyone comes, just say I'm resting and won't see anyone. I'll be back before 7 PM."
Linglong asked worriedly, "Your Highness, where are you going?"
"You'll find out when I get back."
Linglong declined to ask further questions.
Mu Chenshuang left through the window and followed the memories in her mind to the Imperial Household Department. Since most of the palace staff were in the front hall preparing for the banquet and fireworks display, the journey was smooth.
The closer she got, the stronger that inexplicable pull she felt became.
Upon arriving at the gate of the Imperial Household Department, where guards stood watch, Mu Chenshuang hid behind a boulder, pondering how to get in.
Suddenly, a eunuch came out of the Imperial Household Department, said something to the guard, and then the guard followed the eunuch away, walking in this direction.
Upon seeing this.
Mu Chenshuang quickly and quietly slipped to the other side.
This was undoubtedly a golden opportunity. Taking advantage of the guards' departure, Mu Chenshuang went directly into the gate of the Imperial Household Department.
It's strange.
Upon entering, they found the guards to be so lax, with only a handful of eunuchs wandering around the mansion.
But she didn't have time to think about it.
Following my inner intuition, I found the herbal medicine room where the dragon blood ginseng was kept. I quietly pushed open the door and went in. The room was over a hundred square meters in size, with medicine cabinets several meters high. Today, many precious medicinal herbs were offered up and collected here.
The only thing left unarranged on the cabinet was the nanmu box containing the dragon blood ginseng.
Without hesitation, Mu Chenshuang stepped forward. For some reason, her heart was beating so fast. She slowly placed her hands on the box, turned the switch with one hand, and opened the lid.
However, the moment the box was opened...
Several beams of white light flashed from inside the box. Mu Chenshuang subconsciously closed her eyes and stretched out her palm to block the stimulation of the white light.
When she lowered her hand again.
Before she could even get a good look at her surroundings...
The next second, her thigh was wrapped around something unidentified, and she heard excited, childish voices, "Master, Master is so great! Sui Sui has finally met you! I thought I was really going to be eaten, sob sob..."
Mu Chenshuang looked down and saw a soft, four-legged animal lying on her lap. It had a round head with ginseng-like whiskers and big, watery eyes.
The moment I saw it.
Mu Chenshuang was somewhat incredulous.
