Seeing that both of them had drunk the tea, Chuntao made an excuse to go and see why the vegetarian meal had not been delivered yet and left the house.

Monks do not eat after noon, and those who often come to worship Buddha know this.

Even if the Queen Mother came to Huguo Temple later, she would not allow anyone to get vegetarian meals at night.

If the ladies were afraid of getting hungry at night, they would ask someone to prepare some snacks and drink them with water at night.

I can only say that Chuntao's excuse was not very clever.

Mu Yunyao watched the people leave before she went to Qingyun to close the door. Then she turned around and pushed open the window.

Xingchen flashed into the house, took out a porcelain bottle and poured it out.

"Master, this is a pill to calm your mind and focus your spirit."

Mu Yunyao waved her hand, "It's okay, it's just ordinary ginseng tea."

She just picked up the teacup and discovered that the medicine had indeed been replaced with ginseng powder.

This was also the reason why she did not stop Qingyun when he drank it all in one gulp just now.

"Did you find anything later?"

Xingchen put the medicine away only after hearing Mu Yunyao say that everything was fine.

I told her in detail what happened next.

"The old lady of the Duke Rong's Mansion went up the mountain, and Mu Mingzhu went to greet her and mentioned her master.

Mrs. Rong is the madam's aunt, and your great aunt. She heard that you were also in the mountain, and she said she would come to visit later. "

Mu Yunyao immediately understood what she said.

Since Mu Mingzhu had arranged this, how could she not find someone of high enough status to be a witness?

And was it a coincidence or an arrangement by someone with ulterior motives that Old Lady Rong suddenly came to Huguo Temple?

Mu Yunyao frowned slightly. She had little contact with this person in her previous life. It was mainly because the old man was too old and would not attend ordinary occasions.

She had met the wife of the Duke of Rong's Mansion twice, and she was quite friendly to her. She was not sure whether this was instructed by the old lady.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Mu Yunyao took out the medicine bag she got from Qing Mo.

He gestured to Xingchen and Qingyun to cover their mouths and noses first, and then poured everything into the incense burner next to them.

Just as she finished all this and was about to go out through the window, she turned around and found that the brother and sister had come to the bedside without her knowing.

Stuff the pillow under the quilt to create the illusion that someone is lying on it.

When Mu Yunyao looked over, he put the tent down.

Mu Yunyao smiled unconsciously and said to the two of them.

"Let's go, someone should be here soon."

The two men hurriedly walked towards her, one of them held her arm, and easily led her out of the room.

After leaving the house, Mu Yunyao and Qingyun left, leaving Xingchen to continue watching. Mu Mingzhu wanted to find a witness, so she naturally had to find someone to prove her alibi.

After Chuntao left, she walked around outside and thought the medicine was about to take effect, so she quietly went into the room where Mu Mingzhu was.

When Mu Mingzhu saw her coming, she curled her lips slightly, knowing that the matter was probably done, but she still confirmed it again.

"Is everything done?"

Chuntao nodded cautiously.

"Yes, Master. I saw them drink the tea spiked with drugs with my own eyes."

Mu Mingzhu's smile deepened when she heard that, and she stood up impatiently.

"Hongyu, go send a letter to Old Lady Rong and tell her that my sister is back."

"It's the master."

Hongyu was the new maid who was promoted after Hongxing was sent away.

This was not the first time he followed his master out. When he heard what Mu Mingzhu had told him to do, he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.

But she didn't dare to say "no". She knew that if she dared to have any other thoughts, the Second Miss would never let her go.

After sending Hongyu away, Mu Mingzhu looked at Chuntao and said.

"Help me do one more thing. When you're done, I'll ask my mother to return the indenture to you."

Things have come to this point, Chuntao no longer has the right to say no.

"Master, please give me your orders."

Chuntao lowered her head and bit her lip, keeping a very humble attitude.

Mu Mingzhu waved her hand, motioning her to come closer.

Chuntao tilted her head slightly and put her ear closer. She didn't know what Mu Mingzhu said, but she saw her face getting paler and paler.

With tears in his eyes, he finally nodded.

"Yes, Master, I will go right away."

After Mu Yunyao left the Zen temple, she found an open place to sit down, and then asked Qingyun to inquire about the residence of Old Lady Rong.

Not long after Qingyun left, a moon-white brocade robe passed before her eyes.

A shadow fell from above, and then a person sat down opposite the stone table.

"Miss, who are you from and why are you sitting here alone?"

Mu Yunyao was originally in a daze, and suddenly someone spoke to her, which really scared her.

When he looked up again, he saw a handsome face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was stunned for a moment and then stood up.

He folded his hands on his abdomen, squatted slightly and bowed.

"My daughter greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince was slightly surprised.

"Girl, do you know me?"

He traveled incognito, and his identity could be recognized at a glance, so he must not be from a humble family.

"My daughter is the legitimate daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion."

Mu Yunyao's body swayed slightly, and the prince then remembered that she was still performing the ceremony.

He quickly extended his hand to help him up and said, "No need to be polite."

"You are the Miss Mu who got lost many years ago."

Mu Yunyao stood up and answered.

"It's my little girl."

The prince saw that she was not as vulgar as rumored by the outside world, but was graceful and dignified, and a hint of interest arose in his eyes.

"Please take a seat."

He pointed to the seat where she had just sat and said with a smile.

"Miss Mu hasn't answered my question yet."

Mu Yunyao only sat on half of the stone bench.

"I heard that her aunt and grandmother had also come to the mountain. I wanted to go and pay my respects to her, but I didn't know which temple she lived in, so I asked someone to find out."

The prince heard her say this and nodded with a faint smile.

"Miss Mu, you are a filial son. It's worth it that the old lady cares about you and your daughter."

Mu Yunyao showed a puzzled expression at the right moment.

Seeing her like this, the prince smiled and spoke.

"Tomorrow is Madam Mu's memorial day, right? Every year on this day, Old Lady Rong would come to Huguo Temple and stay there for a day to pray and chant sutras for her."

Mu Yunyao didn't expect that there was such a thing, and she didn't expect that the prince would talk about it with her.

He came to his senses, stood up and bowed to the prince.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me."

The prince pointed to the seat opposite him and smiled.

"Miss Mu, please don't be so polite. This is something that many people know. I just happened to meet Miss Mu and I just wanted to say a few words to you."

At this moment, the prince saw a green figure walking towards him.

Thinking that Mu Yunyao was a woman after all, it would not be good if others saw her with him.

He nodded at her and walked towards the figure.
