Chapter 210 Father, Your Majesty, I Request You to Abdicate 25
Pushing the door open, Meiruo walked into the room with light steps and gently closed the door. She bent her knees slightly, sorted out her thoughts, and considered the words she was about to say.
After all, that fleeting glimpse did not confirm that it was the second princess, so compared to that, causing trouble was not a big deal.
"Your Highness, it was Prince Zhuang's youngest child who caused the trouble, but I vaguely caught a glimpse of the second princess upstairs. The specific situation needs to be investigated in detail." Meiruo added after carefully recounting what she had seen and heard.
King Zhuang? Hearing this, Jiuli raised her eyebrows. Her adoptive father had two younger brothers. King Zhuang was usually timid and submissive, but she didn't expect his son to be so brave.
Jiuli stretched out her white jade fingers, picked up a piece of Yukou cake, and took a bite. The taste was light, sweet and soft with a hint of bitterness. Who would like such a bitter snack? She picked up the teacup expressionlessly and took two sips.
"The rest are given to you as a reward." Jiuli stood up and moved to the window. The farce below had ended.
A figure wearing a veil sneaked into the teahouse. Jiuli recognized it at a glance, it was the second princess.
Meng An and Mei Ruo looked at each other, took out their purses, and carefully put the cakes in them. Although these cakes were not in good shape, they were rare delicacies. If they were asked to buy them themselves? Forget it, they were not worthy.
Another half an hour later, Jiuli got up and went out.
When going downstairs, Meng An caught a glimpse of the figure downstairs and quickly covered his face.
"Benefactor?" Mu Huanian's eyes lit up and he stepped forward to salute.
"You talk to him." Jiuli looked back and instructed calmly.
Meng An was filled with grief and indignation. Didn't Mu Huanian know that the Mu family had sent gifts to the Princess's Mansion? He muttered to himself, looking at Mu Huanian with doubtful eyes. Could it be that Mu Huanian was playing dumb? Or was he more calculating than Old Man Mu?
Jiuli turned and left, and before leaving she looked at Mu Huanian one more time. According to the secret letter from Chuyi, the heir of the Mu family is Mu Huanian, and he is not as harmless as he seems.
"Tell me, why did you stop me?" Meng An walked into the room and sat down, touching his stomach, his eyes skimming over the snacks on the table.
"Of course it's to thank you. What belongs to the eldest princess belongs to the eldest princess. Don't you deserve a copy?" Mu Huanian changed his innocent appearance and there was some kind of temptation in his words.
"Oh? Is that so." Meng An touched his chin. He didn't think that an old fox could raise a simple little fox. This guy might have some ulterior motives.
"You're overthinking it. This is just a thank-you gift. I'll take my leave now." Mu Huanian smiled slightly, put a bulging purse on the table, and then stood up in a cool manner.
"These have all been paid for. It's up to you to eat or not." After saying this, he stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, the smile on his face showed that he was determined to win.
After Mu Huanian came out, he walked into the exclusive room, but there was no one inside, which made his face instantly become gloomy.
"Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on my second brother? Where is he?" He kicked the gatekeeper's butt in anger.
"The second master said he was going to change clothes. Why hasn't he come back yet?" The gatekeeper looked aggrieved, and he didn't dare to stop him.
"Go find him! Even if you have to turn this place upside down, you have to find him! Alive or dead!"
After Mu Huanian gave the order, he ran downstairs as fast as the wind, "Prepare the horses, I'll go ahead, you guys continue looking!"
On the other side, Jiuli, who had boarded the Qingwei carriage, had his eyes flashing. He grabbed the dagger that was stabbing at him and pressed the blade against the man's neck with his backhand. Where did this idiot come from?
The man's eyes flashed quickly a few times, and then he pretended to be weak and fell into Jiuli's arms, then closed his eyes and fell asleep instantly.
Jiuli mercilessly pushed the person who was approaching away, and the person hit the car wall with a crisp sound. Meiruo reacted quickly and stepped forward and tied the person up tightly with a cloth strip.
Then, Meiruo gently took off the lampshade beside her, and the dim candlelight instantly illuminated the carriage as bright as day, as if they were in the daytime.
The man's face also appeared in front of the two of them, and Meiruo subconsciously stepped forward to block it.
The man was wearing a crimson brocade robe embroidered with auspicious clouds and flying eagles. Although it was not worn exclusively by the royal family, it was definitely not something that an ordinary person could afford. His identity must be extraordinary.
His face was as bright as the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and his complexion was as beautiful as the flowers in the early spring. He leaned there, and a look of fragility was added to his figure. However, his figure was tall and straight.
"Auspicious clouds and flying eagle?" Jiuli frowned slightly. She seemed to have seen this pattern somewhere before.
"It's the second son of the Mu family." Mei Ruo spoke after careful identification. He did look good, but not stunningly good!
"Hmm." Jiuli suddenly reached out and gently poked the man's face, feeling the warm skin and smooth touch. The Mu family? A young master raised in luxury?
"Let him get off the car later." She waved her folding fan and said calmly. It seemed that the Mu family was not suitable to be her pawn, and the plan would continue.
"Yes." Mei Ruo responded, poked her head out to tell Meng An, and glanced at Mu Er who was pretending to be asleep.
Her Highness is so outstanding, how could he change his plans because of a little beauty trap?
Mu Er closed his eyes tightly, trying to adjust his breathing, thinking to himself, He actually broke into the princess's carriage? He suppressed his inner excitement and joy.
On the street, the servants of the Mu family held the portrait and asked around at every intersection. Mu Huanian's buttocks were beaten into eight pieces, and after two quarters of an hour, a servant finally found the Second Master.
"Did he come back by himself? Did he fall asleep halfway through the journey?" The servant carefully withdrew his hand, and only felt relieved when he saw that the second master was safe and sound.
"The carriage is here, take it back quickly, the master is looking for it like crazy." He is really a troublemaker, but his face is full of joy.
I didn't know that Mu Er was thrown off the carriage. I just thought that his clothes were rubbed because he was tired. Mei Ruo quickly changed the fox fur pillow and Jiu Li sat down.
After returning to Wuyou Palace, Mei Xi, who was waiting with a palace lantern, saw the two people approaching from afar and hurried forward to greet them.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here at the beginning of the evening and waited for you for two quarters of an hour. Seeing that you had not returned yet, he just left." The palace maid said as she walked.
"Well, prepare water and change clothes." Jiuli replied casually.
Mei Xi responded and glanced behind her.
In an instant, people in Wuyou Palace took quick action, and their movements were silent, which showed that they were well-trained.
Half an hour later, Jiuli came out of the bath, leaning on the chaise longue, wearing a pink and green tourmaline bracelet on her hand.
"Tell me." She casually picked up the secret letter placed beside her.
"The Mu family is an imperial merchant supported by your majesty. The second son of the Mu family, Mu Huasui, is only seventeen years old. He passed the imperial examination in the twelfth year of Cheng'an. He is weak and sickly, so he has to go out with his younger brother." Mei Ruo said in a low voice, "This time he was plotted against."
Weak and sickly? Jiuli seemed to be smiling, her body might be stronger than that of an ordinary person. What is the Mu family hiding?
"Investigate more about what's going on in the dark and keep a close watch." He pressed his fingertips on the secret letter, preferring to kill someone by mistake rather than let him go.
