Chapter 359: Imprisonment

Sensing the murderous intent of the thrush, Shrike waved his hands in panic, "No, no!"

"I'm just curious. If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me..."

Hai Dongqing interrupted, "Shrike is worried that you are staying with Princess Yu for us."

Seeing Huamei was puzzled, he explained: "It is not easy to be a slave or a servant and have no control over your own life. We all understand this."

"You are the only one among us with a legitimate identity. You can leave the palace and be free."

"You don't have to continue to obey Princess Yu just because you're worried that we won't have a good time under her. Huamei, I shouldn't be your bondage. You should have your own future."

Hearing the last sentence, the golden eagle looked at the Saker Falcon strangely.

Suddenly, it changed from "we" to "me". Does Haidongqing want to abandon them and find another master?

Haidongqing's sincere words touched Huamei's heart.

She curled the corners of her lips, and the fragility that flashed across her eyes made people feel distressed. "I don't know where my future lies if I leave the palace and the princess."

She is a weapon raised by Ying Qiong. Weapons do not need opinions, nor do they need a future.

"I volunteered to be the princess's slave. In fact, the night I received the title from the emperor, the princess asked me not to call myself a slave anymore."

"But there are so many servants serving the princess. I am different from them. Wouldn't the princess distance herself from me? Only by being the princess's servant can she treat me as one of her own."

"I can't hold too many ideas in my head. It's enough for me to eat, sleep, and do the tasks assigned by the princess."

Huamei smiled, her eyes bright and charming, "Thinking about such a complicated matter in the future, I'll teach it to the princess."

At this point, she suddenly grabbed Hai Dongqing's collar and pulled him in front of her, "Why are you suddenly telling me this?"

The woman's beautiful face suddenly enlarged, and the sweet fragrance filling her breath made Haidongqing's pupils shrink.

My heartbeat was totally messed up.

Huamei keenly noticed that he was holding his breath and thought that he had done something in private that was not beneficial to Su Yinyue.

She raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek, while stroking it she asked softly: "Are you nervous? What I just said wasn't what you wanted to hear? What do you want to hear? Tell me."

Hai Dongqing's mind was in a mess, "...No."

The task assigned by the princess was not completed, and Huamei did not want to get entangled with him. Hearing this, she patted his face. The originally clear and bright smile was tinged with some of Su Yinyue's wanton look.

"Hai Dongqing, if you dare to betray the princess, I will personally push you into the toilet and drown you."

Haidongqing's eyes widened, Huamei's words caught him off guard.

"No, no," Shrike saw that Huatung Falcon had a strange expression and forced his way in between the two of them. "I stay with Haidongqing every day. I guarantee that he has never seen outsiders."

"Well, it's getting late. Let's go see Hua Pipa. The princess's errand cannot be delayed."

Only after Su Yinyue was brought up did Huamei let go of Haidongqing.

When she turned around, she looked at him deeply and said, "Let's go to Yuexinyuan."

When they arrived at the place, Huamei introduced the two parties to each other, and then returned to Furongyuan to report to Su Yinyue.

When she went in, Su Yinyue was receiving the servants sent by Mu Hexuan.

"This is a letter from my master to the princess."

The servant respectfully handed over a letter, "My master said that the matter entrusted by the prince has made progress, but before the results are achieved, my master is ashamed to come to see the princess, I hope the princess will forgive me."

Jasmine took the letter from the servant and handed it to Su Yinyue.

Su Yinyue opened the letter and said in surprise, "Xi Ye's housekeeper has thirteen concubines? The position of Salt and Iron Envoy is indeed very lucrative..."

"Since Xiye's housekeeper has fallen into Lord Mu's hands," Su Yinyue's smile deepened, "it seems that this princess will be able to see my cousin soon."

She grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and said to the servant of the Mu Mansion, "You have worked hard to deliver the letter. These are a reward for you."

The servant smiled happily, "Thank you for the reward, Princess."

Jasmine received Su Yinyue's gaze and sent the person out.

The winter is cold and windy with continuous rain.

Su Yinyue was waving a heavy sword in the yard. Her thin clothes were soaked with sweat and her body temperature was rising, but she didn't feel a bit of cold.

Huamei stood in the corridor, watching with a smile as Su Yinyue's martial arts improved day by day.

Suddenly, she saw Haidongqing's figure flash past the gate of the courtyard. She frowned slightly and walked out quietly.

Seeing her coming out, Hai Dongqing handed over three books, "These are the account books that Hua Pipa stole from the Tu Mansion. They record the silver that Xi Ye embezzled and accepted as bribes."

Huamei took it and flipped through it casually. "I've remembered it since the day I married into the family. Tu Feizhang is very wary of Xi Ye, his father-in-law."

"Hua Pipa stole these from the Tu Mansion. Is she overjoyed?"

"do not know."

Hai Dongqing stated the facts, "She was seriously injured and fainted as soon as she left Tu's house, so we brought her back. The three account books were found in her arms by the female doctor."

Huamei nodded, "You go back to Linfeng Hall to rest first, I will go and report to the princess."

After saying that, he simply turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Back in the corridor, Huamei did not disturb Su Yinyue from practicing martial arts, but told her about this when she was resting.

Su Yinyue said calmly: "Send it to Lord Mu."

The drizzling winter rain did not stop Mu Hexuan. Two days later, Su Yinyue received the news that Xi Ye and Tu Feizhang were imprisoned.

On the same day, Prince Yu's Mansion welcomed two unexpected guests.

"Princess, the Marquis of Mingyi and his wife want to see you. They said they won't leave unless you see them."

Su Yinyue put down the heavy sword and sneered, "So, I still have to meet him?"

She raised her chin to the porter. "Take them to the main hall."

Jasmine handed over the hand towel and said worriedly, "Marquis Mingyi is the Queen's biological brother. I'm afraid he has bad intentions."

"After Xiye became the Salt and Iron Commissioner, he gave him so much money. Of course he didn't want to lose this cash cow."

The reason why Xi Ye was able to secure his position as the Salt and Iron Commissioner was because he was able to gain popularity among the Marquis of Mingyi.

Su Yinyue wiped the sweat from her forehead, went into the inner room to change her clothes, put on her pearl hairpin, and walked leisurely to the main hall.

When she arrived, the Mingyi Marquis and his wife, who had been waiting for an hour, looked impatient.

"Princess Yu is so arrogant that she made us two elders wait for so long."

Su Yinyue ignored the sarcastic remarks made by Lady Dou, the wife of Marquis Mingyi, and walked straight past the two of them and sat in the main seat.

She said lazily, "This is the first time that this princess has encountered a guest who came without sending an invitation. I was delayed for some time because I had to change clothes temporarily."

Seeing her disrespectful attitude, Dou angrily scolded: "Su Yinyue, how can you talk to us? The Marquis is your uncle!"

They came unexpectedly and disturbed Su Yinyue's martial arts practice. She was very annoyed and said casually, "Uncle came unexpectedly. I guess he missed me because he hasn't seen me for a long time?"

"Moli, pass a sign to the Royal Concubine's palace and tell her that my uncle and I will be going to the palace to pay our respects to the Royal Concubine immediately."

Dou's righteous momentum suddenly weakened.
