I just want to live a good life

Chapter 512: Escape from Danger

Su Nuan has had a good appetite recently and gets hungry very easily. She had been running around outside all day today and only had a quick meal outside at noon. She is already hungry now.

Madam Wang had already prepared the food and was just waiting for her to say "drink." She thought about it and decided that she should ask someone to invite Mu Yunting.

Duiyueju is the courtyard farthest from Lanyue Pavilion in the Prince's Mansion. It took Baozhu more than a quarter of an hour to run back and forth. Su Nuan was tired of waiting, so she ran to the kitchen and secretly ate two bites of meat to temporarily appease her rumbling stomach.

"Why didn't His Highness come with you?"

Su Nuan asked Baozhu.

"Your Highness asked the Queen to have dinner alone. There is no need to wait for him. He has something to do tonight and will not come to Duiyueju."

Su Nuan was quite disappointed when she heard that Mu Yunting would not come.

Not knowing what he was busy with, Su Nuan thought she should fill her stomach first and then go see what he was busy with.

So we prepared to eat.

Chunliu and Meixiang, who had delivered food to Liao Xinyi, had already returned. Together with Baozhu and Wang Niangzi, they busied themselves preparing a table full of delicious food for Su Nuan.

Su Nuan invited a few people to eat together.

The custom in Duiyueju is that there is no distinction between master and servant, and everyone eats at the same table during meals.

Several people sat around the table, and Su Nuan suddenly remembered something. Kang Dahong entrusted the meals for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Madam Wang, which meant that his two apprentices would not cook for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so Mu Yunting would have no food to eat tonight.

"Madam Wang, have you left any food for His Highness?"

"No, the food is on the table."

"Chun Liu, please fetch a few more food boxes and put some food in them to send to His Highness."

Chunliu stood up and swiftly took out the food box, saying, "Why don't I pack more food, and then go to Lanyue Pavilion to have dinner with His Highness."

Su Nuan thought about it and felt that this was a good suggestion. She could have dinner with Mu Yunting and see what he was busy with. Maybe it was related to Ye Xiaobai's matter.

So a quarter of an hour later, Su Nuan appeared in front of the door of Lanyue Pavilion with Chunliu and Meixiang carrying food boxes.

"Concubine Xia, why did you come here in person?"

The guard at the door saw that Su Nuan was very enthusiastic and came forward to take the food boxes from Chun Liu and Mei Xiang, but he did not intend to make way for Su Nuan to enter.

Su Nuan pointed to the food box in the guard's hand and said, "This contains portions for me and His Highness."

"Ah? This... this..."

The guard stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"What's this? There's someone in His Highness's room, so it's inconvenient for me to go in?"

Su Nuan asked.

The guard quickly shook his head, "No, no, there is only your Highness in the room, it is not inconvenient."

"Then why are you stopping me from going in?"

"I dare not. Concubine Xia, wait a moment, and let me ask His Highness for instructions."

Su Nuan frowned and said nothing. Yesterday she was allowed to live in Lanyue Pavilion, but today she had to ask for permission before entering the room. What's the logic?

A moment later, the guard came back and brought Mu Yunting's words, "His Highness said he was not feeling well tonight, so he would not see Concubine Xia. Concubine Xia, please go back."

"Not feeling well?" Su Nuan looked at the guard suspiciously. The guard almost had his head lowered into his chest. It was obvious that he was helping Mu Yunting lie.

"Your Highness is not feeling well, so I have to go and see him."

As he said this, he pushed the guards away and walked straight in.

The last time she broke into Lanyue Pavilion was to catch Mu Yunting stealing a chicken. At that time, the guards were very diligent in stopping her, but now the guards didn't dare to step forward to stop her.

Su Nuan successfully pushed open the door and was met with Mu Yunting's red face covered with rashes.

There was no discomfort at all, it was just that it was too comfortable outside. Su Nuan just felt a surge of anger rising up. She didn't want to look at Mu Yunting a second time, so she turned around and left.

He had not taken two steps when he was stopped by Mu Yunting.

"Let go."

"Don't think too much. I was murdered."

"Who are you? Who can hurt you? Who can get close to you without your permission?"

"That person suddenly jumped on me and I was not prepared."

"You were not prepared, and Ye Yin was not prepared either? Wouldn't he have stopped it for you?"

"He wasn't with me today."

"Your Highness is going to meet a beautiful lady, even Ye Yin cannot follow you."

Ye Yin was protecting Su Nuan in the dark today, but because he was in the dark, Su Nuan didn't know.

Mu Yunting didn't want to reveal the matter, so he didn't respond to Su Nuan's words. He raised his hand to gather Su Nuan's cloak and said, "Let's talk inside. It's cold outside."

Su Nuan wanted to refuse, but at this moment her stomach started to growl.

Mu Yunting said quickly: "You really wronged me. Let's go inside. I will tell you what happened while we eat."

Hearing him say this, Su Nuan's expression relaxed. Eating is a big deal, and it would be nice to hear how he ended up like this.

So the two of them went into the house, and Mu Yunting called Chunliu and Meixiang in to set the table.

He also asked the guards to bring two more braziers and place them in the room.

Su Nuan sat down and concentrated on finishing a steamed sea bass before looking up and motioning for Mu Yunting to speak.

Mu Yunting took a sip of tea and then began to tell what had happened.

Early this morning, Mu Yunting went to the inn where the envoy from Fanli was staying, saying that he was going to deliver a return gift, but in fact he was going to personally find Princess Wangyue to clarify some things.

The cause of the incident was that Princess Wangyue wanted to enter the palace to celebrate the New Year with the Emperor and his family. According to the rules, she, a princess from a foreign country, was not qualified to celebrate the New Year with the Emperor. However, according to the Emperor's thoughts, he already regarded Princess Wangyue as his future daughter-in-law, so there was no problem in celebrating the New Year together.

Before the palace banquet yesterday, the Emperor called the Crown Prince to his side and asked him to personally go and bring Princess Wangyue into the palace on his thirtieth day.

Mu Yunting was not willing to do this, but he did not disobey the emperor's order.

The root of the problem lies with Princess Mochizuki. It will be useless to disobey the Emperor's orders unless her thoughts are eliminated.

So early this morning, Mu Yunting went to the inn in the name of delivering a return gift. His purpose was to make things clear with Princess Wangyue, asking her to stop pestering him and to give up the idea of ​​​​entering the palace for the New Year.

Unfortunately, although he made his words clear, he failed to convince her. What he never expected was that Princess Mochizuki was so bold as to use force on him.

I secretly gave him Huan Yi Xiang and some Softening Muscle Powder, and then I forced myself on him.

Perhaps because they were afraid that the excessive use of the Softening Muscle Powder would be discovered, they did not give a large dose, and Mu Yunting still had the strength to resist.

But since Princess Mochizuki had already attacked him, there was no reason to let him escape easily.

The two of them struggled for a while, and a maid came in to help. Several women pinned Mu Yunting to the ground and bullied him. Fortunately, the secret guard appeared in time and rescued him.

He finally managed to escape from Princess Mochizuki's clutches.

Mu Yunting's narration was understated, but Su Nuan was already grimacing.

This Princess Wangyue is so brave that she even dares to use force on the prince of Nanzhao Kingdom.

I don’t know how much she has taken advantage of me. Judging from the density of the rash on my face, my face has been “lost”.

In fact, Su Nuan wanted to see if there were any rashes on his body, but seeing Mu Yunting's aggrieved look, she didn't ask. Anyway, she could secretly check when everyone was asleep at night.
