"origin?"

Mu Xiu seemed to mention the relationship between Princess Tumo and Nanye City unintentionally, which really aroused Wan Ning's interest, so she asked one more question: "What is the relationship? Isn't it that the new Princess Tumo is from Nanye and was chosen by the Emperor to be sent to Tumo for marriage. Is there something else that I don't know?"

Seeing him remain silent, Wan Ning became more and more anxious and urged, "Don't keep us in suspense. Come on and tell me."

Since this matter was mentioned, Mu Xiu did not intend to hide it, and casually mentioned: "She is not only a resident of Nanye City, but also an old friend of the emperor."

Wan Ning had heard Mu Xiu talk about this information before, so when she was ready to eat melons, she heard something she had already known. A look of disgust appeared on her face: "That's it, they are old friends, your news is old, isn't there anything new?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xiu rolled his eyes. He paused and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Most people would feel disgusted, angry, jealous, or sad when talking about their current partner. Your behavior is strange. You took the initiative to ask for melons."

predecessor?

Wan Ning looked normal on the surface, but the story she had heard before about Ziheng preventing the marriage was played out again. Then she continued to hold the cup in one hand, turned her head sharply to look at Mu Xiu's profile, and asked, "In the version you told me before, it didn't say that they were in a relationship, but only mentioned that Feiyu was a sister who took good care of him. In order to ensure that Chu State would not take the innocence of a civilian woman in exchange for peace, he volunteered to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and then fell into the enemy's trap and almost lost his life. It turns out that there is this layer of relationship."

Her heart was indeed shaken, and an earthquake of some magnitude occurred. Her eyes flickered and her blinking frequency increased. Mu Xiu saw it all and asked with concern, "Are you sad?"

Wan Ning snorted, stood up and immediately denied loudly: "Who, who is sad?" After saying this, he realized his mistake and sat back awkwardly, muttering to himself: "My comrade died tragically in front of me, I was seriously injured, and my beloved girl was married off to Tumo by her own father. How helpless and sad he must have been at that time."

Mu Xiu saw all of this, and he could see that Wan Ning felt more distressed than resentful, or that she didn't feel any resentment or even care at all. Perhaps the news came too suddenly, and Wan Ning didn't have time to feel more emotions, and she had never met Fei Yu. He had never had any contact with her before, and whenever Wan Ning mentioned Fei Yu, she felt more sympathy for the woman who was married to a foreign country.

"No matter who she is, as long as she can actually help me now, she is a good person." Wan Ning realized that she had lost her composure and immediately waved her hand to express her feelings. She suddenly said, "Miss Feiyu married alone in Tumo and had no relatives. She has such strength and status in such a short time. It is really admirable. She must be an excellent woman."

"Yes, she is indeed very outstanding!" Mu Xiu's immediate agreement made Wan Ning feel complicated, and her stomach twitched as if she was lost.

Wan Ning quietly calmed down her sour emotions and brought the topic back to the purpose of her visit today: "Such an outstanding person must have capable people under her. I'll leave the affairs outside the palace to Prince Mu Xiu. I need a map involving all the itineraries of the real princess. Remember to throw a few more smoke bombs and don't let anyone know the real intention and sell me out."

"Do you trust me so much?" Mu Xiu asked back.

Wan Ning squinted her eyes at him, as if she was looking at a fool. She said calmly, "If I don't trust you, who else can I trust here? Don't forget, we are on the same boat. If you can contribute, please contribute as much as you can, and if I can contribute, I will contribute as much as I can. Only by cooperating tacitly can we travel back earlier, right? Then you will continue to be your boss Jiang, and I will continue to be my clerk. I also ask that Boss Jiang, as the Party A, give me a little more help as the Party B for the trust we have today. It's not much, just this much will do."

Wan Ning brought her index finger and thumb closer together, revealing a tiny gap, and smiled and joked.

Mu Xiu looked up at her, lowered his head and smiled inadvertently, as if he also remembered that distant time. He also missed it a little, but then he remembered the fear and panic and shook his head helplessly, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and then said: "There is still enough time for things outside the palace, just leave it to me, I will definitely handle it properly. But you have to hurry up and finish the things inside the palace before leaving the palace."

"you mean?"

"Selected concubines, Wuming Palace, Lan Fei... Since you promised Yi Fei to send Xia Fei out of the palace, you should also take her out before leaving the palace. And how are you going to leave the palace? If you leave, will the emperor accept it? Don't get me wrong, you are leaving, but I am still in the palace and don't want to be implicated by you."

Wan Ning slammed the table and made a promise on the spot: "Don't worry, I will definitely see things through to the end for whatever I cause. I will resolve all of them before I leave and will never cause you any trouble."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mu Xiu: "Hey, why are you in such a hurry?"

Wan Ning turned her head and replied, "I'm going to Wuming Palace right now. Prince Mu Xiu, please watch over me."

After that, she strode away without looking back, and soon disappeared from Mu Xiu's sight. Then Yin Zhu suddenly appeared from nowhere, watched Wan Ning leave, entered the room and closed the door. But they underestimated that Wan Ning did not really leave, but hid in the bamboo forest.

About half an incense stick of time passed, and the door opened again from the inside. However, the person who came out this time was neither Yin Zhu nor Mu Xiu, but a dark-skinned strong man who quickly disappeared from sight with brisk steps and strong martial arts skills. Wan Ning could not see his face, but his rough profile made people feel that he was not a Chu countryman.

Wan Ning secretly memorized his appearance and prepared herself for the possibility of meeting him again. Now she didn't know who this person belonged to, so she had to be more careful.

After coming out of Yuxi Palace, Wan Ning calmed down and went straight to Wuming Palace. Since Concubine Xia followed Mengzhu to move to Yudie Palace, she has been busy and has not visited Wuming Palace yet. Presumably, with one person missing, this place, which was already lonely, would be even more lonely and silent. Today, she had to discuss the specific operation of sending Concubine Xia with Concubine Yi, and also comfort the concubines who were about to lose their sisters.

But when she arrived at Wuming Palace, she knocked at the door for a long time but no one came to open it. She was muttering in her heart when she suddenly heard a loud laughter coming from far away and from inside to outside. Wan Ning leaned close and put her ear to it, vaguely heard a man's voice, and her eyes widened in shock.

I thought, "Who is so bold as to make fun of the emperor's concubine in the Nameless Palace?"

Just as she was wondering, footsteps were getting closer and closer to the door, followed by the sound of the bolt being unlocked. Wan Ning took a step back, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and tilted her head to wait for the man to come out.

As the gate of the Wuming Palace was opened, Wan Ning's eyes widened in surprise when she saw who was inside. Apparently, the person inside had not expected the princess to visit at this time, and the originally cheerful smile froze on his face and he lowered his head, feeling extremely terrified.
