Chapter 436 - 436 - Exiting the PalaceWei Yuanwei looked at Li Chu, who was beside him, and nodded.
Both of them had ident.i.ty tokens on them, they were indeed from the crown prince"s palace.
"Why did the crown prince send me out of the palace?" However, Wei Yuanwei still had her doubts.
The Emperor may very well cripple the crown prince, but the crown prince is worried that something might happen to the Miss Wei, so he ordered his subordinates to come and bring the Miss Wei out of the palace! "
Zhong Lixian thought correctly, once Zhong Lixian was no longer the crown prince, and even became a duke without a t.i.tle, then even he would not be able to protect his, much less her.
Wei Yuanwei went back to her room to pack up her things. Then, she followed the two guards and left the Imperial Palace in the carriage, stopping at an elegant courtyard not too far away from the Imperial Palace.
"Miss Wei, the Crown Prince has already arranged for some people to come, there is a maid to serve Miss Wei and a granny to cook. There are also people guarding outside, as long as the Miss Wei is not in the small courtyard, the Crown Prince can guarantee the safety of the Miss Wei!" The guard then closed the door.
Although this small courtyard wasn"t big, it was very quiet and elegant. The mossy walls were filled with dried vines, and there were also many trees growing in the courtyard. There were pavilions, fake mountains, and spring water; everything could be said to be ready.
If it was summer, this place would definitely be covered with trees and flowers. It was a good place to take shelter from the heat.
The moment Wei Yuanwei walked into the living room, a little girl dressed in a plain and simple cotton jacket, who was combing flowers, anxiously walked in front of Wei Yuanwei. After looking timidly at Wei Yuanwei, she clumsily greeted: "This servant greets Miss Xiao Liu!"
With one look, Wei Yuanwei knew that this little girl had just bought it from Matriarch Fang.
After a while, a simple looking woman dressed in simple clothes came over to greet Wei Yuanwei.
Wei Yuanwei sized up the two before asking: "When did you come?"
The two of them looked at each other, then quickly replied, "I only came for about two hours!"
It looked like Zhong Lixian had been in a lot of trouble this time. Servants and wives had all been bought not long ago, which meant that Zhong Lixian had been preparing in a hurry.
Since Zhong Lixian was in a hurry to send her out of the palace, then it was very likely that Zhong Lixian"s position of Crown Prince would be abandoned.
Whether it was the people that Zhong Lixian offended or the people who offended Zhong Lixian, they would probably come knocking on her door one after another when Zhong Lixian was crippled.
Wei Yuanwei sighed deeply, hoping that Zhong Lixian could resolve this issue quickly.
After all, Little Yun Zi was someone from the palace, so it was not appropriate for him to stay outside for too long. Li Chu was already regretting his decision to disguise himself as Little Yun Zi, but there was no other way around. Even if he wanted to stay, he would have to wait for the real Little Yun Zi to wake up when he returned to the palace.
At night, there was no longer any news of Zhong Lixian on Wei Yuanwei"s side, and she did not send anyone over to deliver the news either.
Wei Yuanwei faintly felt that the situation was getting worse, it was not as simple as she had imagined. Could it be that the Queen had the ability to turn the situation around?
"Knock knock …" The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out.
Lil "Liu was startled herself. It was already so late, so she should have already taken a rest. Trembling, she walked to the door and opened it.
He saw a graceful man with a crescent-moon-colored body standing in front of him. Little Liu had never seen such a beautiful man. She could not help but be slightly stunned.
The man glanced at Little Liu, then pressed some acupuncture points on her body, closed the door and entered the room.
"Who is it?" Wei Yuanwei who was seated next to the copper mirror saw another figure appearing within the mirror, and immediately turned and asked.
When he saw the appearance of the person, Wei Yuanwei was startled, and before he could even react, he was already in the man"s embrace.
"Your Highness, why have you come?" As Wei Yuanwei was being embraced by Mu Jin and smelled the familiar fragrance of the Stillwater, he immediately felt at ease and warm in her heart.
It was as if a heart that had wandered for so long had finally found its own harbor.
"I miss you so much!" Mu Jin said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, the thoughts and words that came out of her throat instantly stuck in her throat, she didn"t know where to start.
On the first day of the new year, Wei Yuanwei hoped to see Mu Jin again and spend the next year with him. However, she never expected that he would actually appear.
"I miss you too!" Wei Yuanwei"s ear was pressed against Mu Jin"s chest, listening to Mu Jin"s powerful heartbeat. At this moment, she really hoped that time would stop, and she wanted to hide in Mu Jin"s embrace and listen to his heartbeat for her entire life.
"I came yesterday, but because of some things, I was delayed. Today, I finally managed to sneak into the palace, but I discovered that you were no longer in the crown prince"s palace. I still have to find you! " Mu Jin held Wei Yuanwei tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the next second.
Hearing this, Wei Yuanwei"s nose could not help but calculate, the feeling of being targeted was really good, "Then how did you know I was here?"
"I accidentally overheard from Little Yun Zi who was beside Zhong Lixian. Has something happened to Zhong Lixian?" Mu Jin asked curiously.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhong Lixian to send Wei Yuanwei out of the palace in such a hurry.
"His ident.i.ty has been seen through. His position as Crown Prince has probably been destroyed!" Wei Yuanwei said.
Hearing that, Mu Jin"s face changed, "How could his ident.i.ty be found out? Unless it was him or the empress who said it! "
Wei Yuanwei told Mu Jin more or less about what happened last night. After Mu Jin finished listening, a thick layer of haze covered her elegant eyes, and her eyebrows knitted together.
"What"s wrong?" Wei Yuanwei saw Mu Jin"s expression and asked worriedly.
"You shouldn"t have leaked the truth about the empress!" Mu Jin said helplessly.
"Why? As long as Zhong Lixian is the Emperor"s son, wouldn"t it be fine? At most, you do not have the position of crown prince! " Wei Yuanwei didn"t know what Mu Jin was worried about either.
"The empress"s background isn"t simple, Zhong Lixian isn"t her biological daughter after all, and Zhong Lixian had long known that the empress killed his own mother. If Zhong Lixian were to ascend to the throne in the future, she definitely wouldn"t go around the empress, so the empress had long planned everything behind his back. Mu Jin did not tell Zhong Lixian these things at the time.
It was Zhong Lixian himself who was too ambitious and had completely forgotten to be on guard against the people around him.
