Chapter 508 Scheming (1st update)

Mrs. Zhongguo smiled and said softly, "Although we are traveling with King Jin, we don't have many opportunities to meet. If King Jin doesn't tell why his hair is gray, how can we dare to find out."

Wang Caifei quite agreed with her words and said quietly, "Your Majesty is a lonely person, and he doesn't like to get close to others. I heard that the Princess was ill, and he was worried about it. I don't know that the Princess is now..."

Wang Caidan was drinking tea with his eyes downcast.

Only then did Mrs. Zhongguo fully understand the purpose of their two sisters' visit. It turned out that they came to inquire about Princess Jin.

Everyone in the capital knew that Wang Caifei was infatuated with Prince Jin. Did she ask in such a hurry because she hoped that Princess Jin's serious illness could not be cured so that the princess' position could be freed up?

Thinking of this, the smile on Mrs. Zhongguo's face faded, "You are all noble ladies. You have learned the rules and etiquette well. You should know that if a woman is sick, it will be kept secret. The second young lady asked this

, how should I answer it?"

Wang Caifei noticed that her tone was unkind and thought that she might have misunderstood him, so he hurriedly explained, "Madam, I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried about the princess. Thousand-year snow lotus is hard to find. If..."

If the princess is hopeless, how can she survive based on the prince's deep love for her?

Wang Caidan smiled brightly, "Second sister is also unfounded. Although the thousand-year-old snow lotus is difficult to find, it is not difficult for the prince. The princess must be in very good health now."

Mrs. Zhongguo smiled and picked up the tea cup.

Wang Caidan's inquiring was less traceable than Wang Caifei's direct question, which was more secretive and more appropriate. She was asking the princess here and there just to find out if the princess was well now, right?

She suddenly had a question, was Wang Caidan really just here to see Mu'er? Mu'er had always been close to her, but why was he so repulsive to her just now?

Since Mu'er recovered, his mind has been very sharp, and he has been very protective of Princess Jin. Princess Jin fell ill on the mountain and never returned to the other hospital. No matter how she asked, he kept silent.

When Wang Caidan saw Mrs. Zhongguo serving tea, he couldn't stay any longer, so he stood up and left.

Hu Mu also kept a close eye on men and women and did not go out to see each other off. He only bowed his hands and saluted, "Princess, Second Miss, go slowly."

Wang Caidan smiled bitterly, "You have been close to me since you were a few years old. I feel sorry for you being laughed at by the world, and I hope you get better. Now that you have recovered, you are so alienated from me."

Hu Mu saluted again, "I remember the childhood friendship of the princess. Princess, please go slowly."

Hu Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him and said coolly, "Danyang has seen what it means to be a white-eyed wolf, right? When someone climbs a high branch, can he still remember you as my sister?"

Wang Caidan smiled, "Your Majesty is not that kind of person. Okay, I'm leaving. You guys are tired from a long journey, so you should rest."

Seeing that Hu Mu did not respond, Wang Caidan felt sad and left the flower hall.

If she really felt sorry and sincere towards Hu Mu, now that he was so neglected, it felt like she had been betrayed. This was the first time she had experienced the sadness in her heart.

When there was no one else in the flower hall, Mrs. Zhongguo walked up to Hu Mu and asked strangely, "Why are you so alienated from Princess Danyang? She was your favorite in the past."

Hu Mu said calmly, "The first time I met the princess in the plum forest at the Zhenguo Palace, it was Princess Danyang who led me there. The princess and the princess were running and playing in the plum forest, and I felt that the princess's frightened look was like

What a wonderful little rabbit I raised. If the Seventh Emperor hadn't asked the Queen Mother for marriage first, I would have asked my mother to ask for a royal decree for my son."

Mrs. Zhongguo's face darkened.

She asked why Mu'er had to go to Merlin that day. The young ladies and gentlemen were all playing in that area, but she actually didn't want her son to join in the fun and just let others laugh. It turned out to be Princess Danyang's secret plan.

At that time, Princess Jin and Mu'er had an oral engagement. If there was another decree from Yi, the marriage would be inseparable.

She frowned and said, "It turns out that the person she likes is Prince Jin. No wonder she never competes with Nanzhang for the position of Crown Princess. I don't care what little thoughts she has, but she harmed you..."

Poor her Mu'er, because of her secret arrangement, she suffered the pain of love in vain.

Hu Mu looked calm, "Mom, I'm fine. Princess Jin is my aunt, so that's good."

Mrs. Zhongguo looked at him distressedly, "Yes, you were just a child before. You didn't know what love was. I will pay attention to it from now on and help you find a good marriage. Now that you are well, with the help of your son's

No matter your status, you can always find a good girl that you like."

Hu Mu helped Duke Zhongguo go out and said with a smile, "Even though my son's mind is clearer now, his knowledge and worldly sophistication are completely blank. Mother should always let me take it easy and learn more. This doesn't count.

It's a delay for a good girl."

When Mrs. Zhongguo saw what he said, most of the worries in her heart disappeared, "Yes, yes, you are seventeen this year, and you won't be able to wait for another year and a half."

Hu Mu raised his eyes and looked at the direction in which Wang Caidan and the others were leaving, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Wang Caidan and the others did not leave, but went to Hu Mingzhu's yard.

Hu Mingzhu called a guard in, and they soon knew that Princess Jin was indeed ill, but she is now well.

Hu Mingzhu sneered, "You too, if you want to inquire about Princess Jin's condition, why go through such a big detour, just tell me directly!"

Wang Caidan stared at the charcoal basin and said softly, "The princess is fine, that's good."

Wang Caifei breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his usually smiling face, "Yes, it's fine."

If she is fine, nothing will happen to the prince.

Your Majesty, he will still be the reviled immortal who looked down on all living beings and live a good life in the human world.

——

Zhao Xiang'er couldn't enter Prince Jin's Mansion, so he waited outside.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Lin came out with a frown on his face and a child hanging on his body.

Zhao Xiang'er pointed at the monkey-like child and asked in surprise, "Who is he?"

Lu Lin turned around and looked at the kid with disgust, and said expressionlessly, "My seventh uncle."

"Seventh uncle?" Zhao Xiang'er laughed loudly, "Such a little thing is your seventh uncle!"

Chen Hengge lay on Lu Lin's shoulder and asked, "Third nephew, who is this little girl?"

Zhao Xiang'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pointed at herself and asked, "You call me little girl? You little brat, call me little girl!"

Chen Hengge said matter-of-factly, "Well, that's right. You can't even enter the palace, so you don't seem to have much seniority."

Lu Lin said lazily, "You guessed it right, your brother-in-law's niece, the head of Jiahe County."

Chen Hengge counted on his fingers and said, "So, you have to call me Uncle Seventh."

Zhao Xiang'er's face tightened, "Are you the cousin of the Seventh Emperor's Aunt? Come with me... Where is the Seventh Emperor's Aunt?"

Chen Hengge said, "She is tired, and King Jin is coaxing her to sleep."

"Is she cured?"

"Of course it's good, it couldn't be better."

Zhao Xiang'er breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good, it scared me to death..."
