Chapter 480: All That Should Be Said Has Been Said
"Your Highness, would you like me to ask Concubine Xia to come and talk to you?"
Lu Zhu asked tentatively.
"No, go out."
His anger was growing stronger and stronger. After Mu Yunting drove Lu Zhu out of the study, he picked up a book and tried to calm himself down.
This is a travelogue. He remembered seeing it in Cui Shaoyuan's study when he was at the Xia family's old house.
At that time, his concubine Xia was still looking at it. He didn't think there was anything wrong then, but when he looked at it again now, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Mu Yunting called the secret guard and ordered him to go to the Xia family's old house to retrieve the book.
In Luoying Pavilion, Su Nuan faced Leng Yue.
"The New Year is coming soon. It's time to buy you some new clothes. I'll ask the embroiderer to measure your size later."
"Thank you, Concubine Xia. No need to bother. With my status, no one would notice my new clothes."
"We are already living in the Prince's Mansion, why do you have to say such things?"
"Concubine Xia should know why I moved into the Crown Prince's Mansion."
"Yes, but I don't think I know enough details."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing serious, I just think that since you are cooperating with me, you should be more honest."
Leng Yue frowned and looked at Su Nuan, then asked after a while, "How do you want me to be honest?"
"Tell me about your plan and your other companions. The more details the better."
Leng Yue looked at Su Nuan for a long time. Just when Su Nuan thought she was going to say something to her, she heard Leng Yue say, "I have already told you my plan to help you take the position of Crown Princess. I don't have any companions. If I did, I wouldn't come to you for cooperation."
"I'm very curious. The date for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry the Crown Princess has been set. How are you going to help me take the position of Crown Princess?"
"It's simple. Get rid of Xun Zheng."
"You want to kill someone?"
Su Nuan frowned. Although she also wanted to kill Xun Zheng as soon as possible, killing her was not the best option.
"Besides killing people, do you have any better solution?"
Leng Yue asked back.
"But if we just kill her, we won't be able to expose her evil deeds to the public. Now that the Xun family has been vindicated, her death as the eldest daughter of the Xun family will only make people remember her."
"You think I don't know this, but what can I do?" Leng Yue gave Su Nuan a useless look and continued, "If she marries into the Crown Prince's Mansion and becomes the Crown Princess, I will have even less chance to do anything."
Su Nuan agreed with this. The Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded, and it would be very difficult to assassinate the Crown Princess.
"When are you going to take action?"
"We still need to remove some obstacles before we start. I will tell Concubine Xia when we really start."
"The obstacle you are talking about is King Guang'an?"
Leng Yue didn't say anything, but she could tell from her eyes that Su Nuan guessed right.
Su Nuan thought for a moment and asked, "Did Prince Guang'an make any arrangements around Xun Zheng?"
"Xun Zheng has a group of secret guards protecting her in secret."
"Is it Prince Guang'an's people?"
"Not sure, but it should be close. Xun Zheng relied on the power of Prince Guang'an in Xiaomian County. I guess the people around her now were given to her by Prince Guang'an."
Su Nuan felt that what Leng Yue said made sense, but she still asked, "What if you guessed wrong?"
"It's wrong, what can I do?"
"If those people were really given to Xun Zheng by Prince Guang'an, it proves that Prince Guang'an has deep feelings for Xun Zheng and Xun Zheng's position in his heart cannot be shaken. I advise you not to think of using Prince Guang'an to deal with Xun Zheng, lest you bring disaster upon yourself."
"Thank you for your advice, Concubine Xia. Leng Yuexin appreciates it."
Seeing that Leng Yue was determined, Su Nuan sighed lightly. She had said everything she needed to say, but Leng Yue still insisted on going to find King Guang'an, and there was nothing she could do.
After bidding farewell to Leng Yue, Su Nuan hurried to Lan Yue Pavilion, thinking about how to explain to Mu Yunting that she had painted Mu Yunshu's portrait.
Should I tell him that I just had a weird dream about Mu Yunshu?
Then how do I explain that I don’t recognize Mu Yunshu when he was young?
I can't tell him that the original owner had a bad memory.
As she was thinking, Su Nuan recalled the dream. In the dream, a vicious man wanted to kill her. Suddenly, someone knocked her out from behind. Before she fell to the ground, she saw a face in the steel knife raised by the man. She drew this face, and then with the confirmation of Mu Yunting, it turned out to be the young boy Mu Yunshu.
She herself had no friendship with Mu Yunshu, so she would never dream of him for no reason, let alone such a strange dream. So Su Nuan thought that this might be another memory fragment of the original owner, Xia Qingyan.
If it is really Xia Qingyan's memory, then this matter is even more strange. Mu Yunshu looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, which means that Xia Qingyan was about ten years old at that time. Why would anyone want to kill a ten-year-old child?
And why did Mu Yunshu knock Xia Qingyan unconscious? What happened after he knocked her unconscious? Did he kill the man who wanted to kill Xia Qingyan?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and before she knew it, Su Nuan had arrived at the door of Lan Yue Pavilion.
"My Lady Concubine, His Highness is not here."
The guards in front of Lanyue Pavilion saw Su Nuan and reminded her.
"Not here? Has he never come back, or has he gone out again after coming back?"
"He hasn't come back yet." The guard said, then thought for a moment and continued, "If Your Highness hasn't gone to Duiyueju, he's probably reading in the study at this hour."
"Oh, then I'll go to the study and take a look."
After saying that, Su Nuan walked towards the study.
