Seeing that Mu Yunyao's expression didn't change at all, Zhang Wan smiled faintly.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that the old mistress was making signs with her hand, saying that you were the one who caused her to become like this.

"

The corner of Mu Yunyao's mouth lifted into a smile,

"The old mistress had lost her mind from the stimulation. Although she woke up later, her body couldn't move freely. Many people knew that and it had nothing to do with me.

"

Zhang Wan smiled,

"Princess, you don't have to be on guard against me. If I really had plotted against the princess, I wouldn't have revealed the truth. The princess asked the second lady to express her goodwill, so she thought that we had the same goal, didn't she?

"

Zhang Wan retracted her smile, the light in her eyes continued,

"Make sure that the entire Su Clan will not be at peace.

"

Mu Yunyao's eyelashes trembled as she faintly smiled.

"If Madam Zhang has anything to say to me, just say it.

"

"I want to fight against the Sixth Princess of Huai Yang, but my family is far from enough. I hope to obtain the support of the princess.

"

Mu Yunyao shook her head,

"Grandmother had instructed me that I am not allowed to interfere in the Su Family's matters. Regarding Lady Zhang's request, I really can't do anything about it.

"

Zhang Wan laughed as if she did not care,

"Her Highness the Grand Princess's status is very high, I wish to request to see her, but have no way to do so. Since the princess will no longer interfere in the Su family's matters, then please speak for me, if there is a chance that you can use me, Your Highness, please consider it.

"

"Is it worth it to become a pawn for revenge?

"

"It's worth it.

" Zhang Wan's tone was determined,

"There's another thing. The Su family is sending people down to the village to investigate the incident that involved the Embroidery Workshop's birthday present. If it involves the princess, please take precautions.

"

"Thank you for your reminder, Madam Zhang.

" Mu Yunyao's expression was calm. Back then when she was working on the Embroidery Mountain River Diagram, she had thought that the Su Clan would investigate it. At that time, she was not afraid, and now, she was even less afraid.

Jin Lan walked over quickly.

"Miss, the Grand Princess has sent a message for you to go to the main hall of the front courtyard. She has also opened a table for the royal family. She says that they are having a good meal together.

"

A smile appeared in Mu Yunyao's eyes,

"Got it.

"

Zhang Wan bowed and said her goodbyes,

"I won't disturb the princess any longer.

"

When Mu Yunyao arrived at the main hall of the front courtyard, Grand Princess Yi De was talking to the Emperor,

"Yao'er is here, hurry and sit by Grandmother's side.

"

Mu Yunyao made a formal bow, her movements correct. After being called out, she responded to Grand Princess Yi De's words,

"Grandmother, my seniority is low. How can I sit next to you?

"

The emperor waved his hand.

"This girl has all the rules. I'll make an exception today, so you don't have to be so formal. You can just sit next to your grandmother.

"

"Then Yunyao will do as you say.

" Mu Yunyao walked briskly to the side of Grand Princess Yi De and sat down. She raised her head slightly and directly met the smile in King Yue's eyes. The light in those eyes was too dazzling, as if layers of starlight were piled on top of each other, causing her heart to tremble.

When King Yu saw this, his expression could not help but turn serious. He took a wine jug and poured wine for the emperor.

"Imperial Father, your son shall toast to you first.

"

After her thoughts were interrupted, Mu Yunyao hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

When the emperor saw King Yu rushing over, he could not help but open his mouth,

"Look at you, you're about to get married. You have no sense of steadiness at all.

"

"Imperial Father, how much do you think Imperial Aunt loves Yunyao's niece? You should learn to love me a little too.

"

The emperor couldn't help but laugh.

"Yao'er is a girl and should naturally be doted on. How can you, a man, have the face to say such words when you have to shoulder the burden of the world and share the worries of your father?

"

"Aren't I envious? Furthermore, ask the Eldest Brother and the Third Emperor's brothers. Do they not wish for their royal father to pamper them more? It's just that they love to hide everything in their hearts, unlike me who can't hide my words.

"

When the Emperor heard this, he could not help but look towards the Emperor and Prince Jin. The two hurriedly stood up to agree with King Yu's words, making the Emperor feel more at ease.

Mu Yunyao sized up King Yu and secretly praised him in her heart. Who said that this Prince Yu's personality was straightforward? He was clearly an intelligent person.

A family banquet was held with extreme comfort. By the time the banquet was over, the sky had already darkened.

After Grand Princess Yi De saw off the Emperor, she turned her head to look at the exhausted Mu Yunyao.

"Yao`er, you must be tired today. Go back and rest. Your mother and I still have some things to say to each other.

"

"Yes, Grandmother, I'll go to rest first.

"

"Yan Han, you won't be able to fall asleep even if you go back, so accompany me for a walk.

"

"Yes, mother.

" Su Qing, who was also known as Xu Yanhan, stepped forward to support Princess Yi De by holding her arm, accompanying her along a path dotted with palace lanterns.

"Yan Han, have you thought about what will happen in the future?

" Since she had already recognized her daughter, she could no longer call her by her previous name. Thinking about how her daughter's surname was Su, she felt extremely displeased.

"From now on?

" Xu Yanhan's expression turned slightly disappointed. Seeing her expression, Grand Princess Yi De sighed,

"You said, Yao'er's journey wasn't easy, and even you, as her mother, didn't help her much. In the past, Yunyao's steps were too fast, and even if you wanted to help, you couldn't. Now that you have the opportunity to start over, don't tell me you still want to let Yun Yao help you?

"

Yao, have you always been protecting your mother?

"

Xu Yanhan was shocked and quickly shook her head,

"Mother, I want to protect Yao'er too, but I don't know what to do.

" Everyday he would watch Yun Yao frown as she thought hard about it, see her in a difficult situation, she would not be able to help, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Yan Han, in the eyes of outsiders, Yunyao has become my granddaughter, and she has been given the title of a county lord. With my support, she will be safe and sound, but let me tell you, her situation will only be more difficult than before. She definitely won't be relaxed.

"

"Mother, I want to help Yao'er. Please teach me, what should I do?

" Xu Yanhan was anxious. Yunyao was her life and the pillar of support that she had endured until today. She only had one daughter and she couldn't wait to give her everything she had. As long as she could help her, she was willing to do anything. Since you want to protect Yao'er, you must hold the blade in your hand. Now that you have been conferred the title of a first rank lady, your status is no less than anyone else's. The only thing lacking is your wrist and strategy.

" Grand Princess Yi De looked at Xu Yanhan with a face full of pity,

"Mother knows that you are in Su Li and Wang Yan.

"

"I grew up and never learned these things, but it's not too late now. Mother can protect you for a while, but not for the rest of your lives. In the future, Yao`er's reliance will still be on you.

"

"Mother is strong.

" Xu Yanhan thought about these four words, and determination flashed across his eyes.

"Mother, I understand, but what do I need to do?

" Before, I told Yao'er that she's not allowed to interfere in the Su family's matters. From today onwards, I will leave the Su Family to you to handle. You want to summon people, you want to investigate the information, tell Qu mama everything, and I will do my best to get her to cooperate with you.
