The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Everyone looked at each other with confusion on their faces, but they did not dare to delay and followed the emperor's steps and walked out.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Several loud noises pierced the sky, and the night sky, which had been extremely dark just a moment ago, suddenly became full of lights and colors.

Countless fireworks rose high into the sky and bloomed with a bang. Each firework had a different color and shape, just like a hundred flowers in full bloom, which was very appropriate for today's Hundred Flowers Banquet. The sound was deafening, and every sound struck Mu Yan's heart, causing her unbearable pain.

In her previous life, when she and Mo Xingchen first met, it was under such brilliant fireworks.

She was so sad the whole night because she was laughed at. Mu Wan was praised by many people, but she was left alone.

Just as she was sitting alone in a corner admiring the fireworks blooming in the night sky, Mo Xingchen came over lazily. Not only did he show great concern for her, he also told her that people should not blame themselves for what had happened, but should look forward. Mu Yan kept these words in her heart and would never forget them.

Today, Mo Xingchen still looks like the lazy, naive young master Shi Wushuang, but only Mu Yan knows his true face underneath that appearance.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"These are fireworks, a new thing from the south. I've seen them at my grandparents' house before." Some knowledgeable ladies showed off their knowledge.

The south emphasizes commerce, so many fashionable things came from the south. At that time, fireworks had not yet become popular in the north, so in order to show off in front of the emperor, Mo Xingchen specially sent people to bring in some fireworks from the south.

On the one hand, it was to please the emperor, and on the other hand, it was to maintain his image as a person who only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun in front of others, so as to conceal his wolfish ambitions.

Mu Yan really wanted to walk up and tear off that extremely hypocritical skin with her own hands so that everyone could know his true face. Her eyes were filled with hatred and anger, and she didn't even notice Mo Xingchen coming to her side.

"Ms. Mu, I wonder if it is appropriate to use the fireworks today to celebrate your being named a princess." Mo Xingchen had a smile in his eyes and spoke as gently and pleasantly as the spring breeze.

I believe no woman would hate this look.

She knew that if Mo Xingchen had already set her as his target, she couldn't hide from him even if she didn't want to see him anymore.

Mu Yan took a step back, her words full of alienation: "Your Highness, the whole world belongs to the king. Moreover, this Hundred Flowers Banquet was prepared by the Queen. The fireworks were prepared for the Emperor and the Queen, not for me. Besides, Your Highness, the King of Wei and I have never met before. It's beyond your rights to say this."

Mo Xingchen felt Mu Yan's distance and secretly cursed this woman for being ungrateful. Why was an ugly woman with a disfigured face still being so reserved?

Even if she was conferred the title of princess, the title of princess was an honor bestowed by the royal family. If she didn't have the loyal and brave marquisate behind her, how could he have compromised and tried to please an ugly woman.

He suppressed his anger and asked, "How do you know I am the King of Wei?"

Mu Yan was startled. This was the first time she met Mo Xingchen. It didn't make sense for her to recognize him at first sight. If she didn't explain clearly, he would think that she had been paying attention to him.

But she quickly adjusted her mood and said, "Your Highness just called the Emperor father. The Emperor has only three adult sons. I have already met the Crown Prince and King Xuan, so I took the liberty to guess that you are His Highness the King of Wei."

"I see. Miss Mu is really smart."

Mu Yan rolled her eyes inwardly. Mo Xingchen was a man who would not give up until he achieved his goal. He really tried every way to please her. Anyone who was not a fool could guess this.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. I just remembered that I have something else to do. I will excuse myself now."

Mu Yan didn't want to waste any more time talking to him, so she found an excuse and turned around and left.

Mo Xingchen put away the kind look on her face, her eyes gradually became cold and her expression became extremely ugly. She stared at the back that was avoiding her.

Although he was not of high status among the princes, he was a prince after all. Ordinary women would flock to him for the olive branches he threw to them, but she was unmoved. How many men would be interested in a woman whose appearance was ruined? She should be grateful that she was willing to lower herself to chat with her.

Mu Yan felt like she was being pricked by needles under this gaze and just wanted to escape quickly. Her behavior today might have completely offended Mu Xingchen.

Because this person is sensitive and has low self-esteem, although he usually behaves calmly, he actually always cares about his identity. His mother, the daughter of a merchant, makes him inferior to all the princes, and he doesn't even dare to covet that position openly.

Thinking of this, Mu Yan ran even faster, not because he was afraid, but because he really wanted to stay as far away from such a hypocritical and selfish person as possible. He despised the Wang family's identity as a businessman yet enjoyed the endless financial support from the Wang family, just like in his previous life, he despised himself yet coveted the power of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion. Once things were accomplished, he would abandon them without hesitation.

The first thing the blind man did after regaining his sight was to throw away his crutches.

Mu Yan's thoughts were flying, but he didn't realize that he was getting further and further away. When he came to his senses, he didn't know where he was. There was a palace in front of him, and it was pitch black all around.

"Squeak." She groaned and almost tripped over the ground under her feet. The soil in this place was unusually soft, obviously different from the surrounding ones.

Mu Yan frowned, stood up and walked towards the palace in front of her. When she reached the door, she found that it was open.

"call out--"

A flash of silver light came.

A man in black stabbed at her with a dagger, but Mu Yan dodged his attack. The man in black was stunned, then turned his wrist and stabbed at Mu Yan again with the dagger. Mu Yan took the opportunity to grab the assassin's wrist with her left hand, and raised her right leg with the other hand to hit the man in black's abdomen.

While the man in black was feeling pain, she reached out to grab the assassin's face with her other hand. She wanted to see the man in black's true face.

When the veil was half pulled up, Mu Yan's eyes flickered slightly and her mind was in a tizzy.

Before she could open her mouth, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. The sound was very light, but it still could not escape Mu Yan's ears.

"Come on!"

Mu Yan turned and said to the man in black.

The man in black was slightly stunned, frowning and looking at her warily.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Seeing that the man was still motionless, Mu Yan spoke hurriedly.

"Stop talking nonsense and go, or you won't be able to leave."

When the footsteps outside reached the door, at the critical moment, the man in black quickly climbed out the window and escaped.

Mu Yan let out a long sigh, turned her head and looked towards the door. She saw the person in front of her clearly in the moonlight.
