Mu Yunyao frowned and coldly said,

"Elder Sister Zhang, you're confused.

" I'm confused? Heh, do you think I'm crazy?

" Zhang Wan's eyes were filled with hatred, that hatred that was as sharp as a needle, tightly wrapping around her, making it impossible for anyone to safely approach her.

"My beloved Su Qingwu, she only hopes to marry him as his wife as soon as the new year approaches.

I can imagine that not only did I lose my looks and almost lose my life, I was also disgraced by the annulment of the marriage, Mu Yunyao, I should thank you. If it wasn't for the letter that you had someone send over, I'd probably have hung myself with a piece of white silk.

"

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao walked over quickly. Seeing that Zhang Wan was holding on tightly to Mu Yunyao, they hurried to protect her.

"Miss Zhang, please take care of yourself.

"

Zhang Wan abruptly let go of Mu Yunyao's arm, smiled, and said,

"Little Sister, the weather these days is not good, you must be careful. Don't slip on the ice and hurt yourself.

Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze. In just a short period of time, Zhang Wan had already changed beyond recognition.

Jin Lan stepped forward to inspect Mu Yunyao's arm. After discovering that it was only a patch of red, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Miss, how did that Miss Zhang become like this? She looks very frightening.

" Back then, she couldn't personally go to the University Scholar's Manor, so she could only get someone to send a letter. The contents of the letter were ordinary greetings, but there was a hidden message that referred to Zhang Wan's mother's death. Table of Contents

To be able to attend.

"

Mu Yunyao's eyes flashed, and a shallow light flashed as she said,

"Got it.

" From love to worry, from love to fear... The word 'love' could make a person's heart hurt, but where Zhang Wan would end up was still up to her.

The guests had all arrived. Mu Yunyao gave the Plum Blossom a few moments and couldn't help but think of something.

"Why haven't you heard of His Majesty's arrival at this hour?

"

"This servant doesn't know. In the past, as long as Grand Princess Yi De appears, the Emperor will arrive soon. Today …

" Was there something that was delayed in the court?

"

"The emperor hasn't even started writing yet, so the subjects won't be so blind as to go and add to the problem. What's going to happen now?

" Mu Yunyao's thoughts spun. What could hold the Emperor back was probably not the imperial court, but the imperial harem. Could it be that Consort De decided to push Su Yu Yi out today?

Mu Yunyao returned to the side of Grand Princess Yi De, and just as she was about to hear Prince Jin's reply, she said,

"Imperial Aunt, the imperial palace has sent an edict from Imperial Father saying that he couldn't come to participate in the lantern-viewing feast because he had matters to attend to. It's time for us to begin the banquet.

"

The Grand Princess Yi De nodded.

"Since that's the case, let's begin the banquet.

"

Just as the sound of silk and bamboo rang out and the music was in its contentment, an impassioned sound of music suddenly rang out. The sound was like the shattering of a piece of jade in Mount Kunlun; it stirred the hearts of those who heard it.

Mu Yunyao turned her head and saw a lady playing a phoenix bird on the stage.

The sound of the bird's head was getting louder and louder, and the surrounding musical instruments were resonating with it, causing one's mind to continuously undulate along with the music.

When the music subsided, she turned her head to look at Prince Jin,

"What is this piece of music? How come I've never heard it before?

"

"Aunty Huang, this is a new song called 'Luring the Phoenix Back to the Phoenix'.

"

"Return of the Phoenix?

"It's a good name and it suits the tune well. You deserve a reward.

"

"Thank you, Imperial Aunt.

"

Mu Yunyao slightly furrowed her brows, the unease in her heart growing more and more serious. She looked down, but didn't see King Yue:

"He also hasn't arrived yet?

"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Jing Wang, Jing Zhao Prefecture Overseer Shen brought a couple over. The couple claimed to be the adoptive parents of Madam Su.

"

"Madam Su?

"

"Yes.

" The guard said as he raised his head to look at Mu Yunyao.

Prince Jin was stunned, then he came to a realization,

"Yunyao, your mother's surname is Su, right? Could it be that your mother's adoptive parents have come to find you?

"

Mu Yunyao's expression did not change,

"How did my mother's adoptive parents find me here?

"

Weren't those two controlled by Yue Yang's men? Yue Yang kept sending people to ask them about the details of Su Qing's adoption. Unfortunately, the things they knew were limited and they didn't get any useful information. Why did they suddenly come to the capital and even find the Jin family's residence? She already knew that Su Qing had suffered many hardships under the hands of her adoptive parents. However, she did not want to pursue the matter of the past too much because of the favor of raising her. She only wanted people to investigate secretly so that Su Qing and Mu Yunyao would not gossip about her.

The two of them actually dared to come here?

Prince Jin looked somewhat awkwardly at Grand Princess Yi De.

"Imperial Aunt, Lord Shen personally brought some people here. He might have important matters to report. Since that's the case, should we invite them in?

"

Grand Princess Yi De looked at Prince Jin with a face full of anger and joy:

"You're quite considerate. Since Shen Bingshu brought him here, then we'll meet again.

"

Very quickly, Shen Bingchen and his wife were brought up. When the two of them saw Su Qing, they were pleasantly surprised. Before they could open their mouths to speak, Senior Servant Qu, who was at the side, sternly shouted:

"How dare you! Why didn't you kneel when you saw the Grand Princess?

"

"This commoner Su Li and his wife Wang Shi have seen Grand Princess Yi De.

"

Princess Yi De calmly said,

"Stand up, you came here today to look for someone. It seems that there are some things that must be said in front of so many people. Am I right?

"

He could feel the anger radiating from Grand Princess Yi's body, but after this old couple had found the Shuntian Estate, their words were too shocking. He could not make his own decision, and could only bring the hot potato back to him.

"Grand Princess, when we heard that you were here, we hurried over because this matter not only involved our adopted daughter, Su Qing, but also involved you.

"

Mu Yunyao's heart trembled as she suddenly raised her head to look at Su Li and Lady Wang who were kneeling on the ground.

The expression of the First Princess of Yide was indifferent.

"Since it involves Su Qing, then go and call him over. Prince Jin, are you willing to go and invite him?

"

Very quickly, Su Qing was invited over. When she saw Su Li and Wang Shi who were kneeling on the ground, her expression changed slightly. She quickly regained her composure and said,

"I see Your Highness, Princess Huang.

"

"Stand up. Your adoptive parents said that they have something important to talk about. It not only involves you, but also me. If that's the case, then I will naturally listen carefully.

"

For the first time, the Grand Princess Yi De addressed herself as' this palace '. As her words fell, a silent and imposing aura suddenly spread out, causing everyone present to lower their heads and kneel on the ground. The people only knew that the Grand Princess was a devout and humble person, but they didn't know that this Grand Princess had also stepped over mountains of corpses and seas of blood …
