The peerless and dark princess

"Perhaps you, Princess, have a chance too." Gong Qingyu comforted Chen Yueyao, "There must always be some hope."

Mu Wange was actually not good at comforting others, so she had to accompany them a little awkwardly. Besides, she was not very familiar with Chen Yueyao and Gong Qingyu. They first met at the Hundred Flowers Banquet more than a year ago. How could they have such a good relationship?

"Yan Li, you didn't lie to me?!"

Chen Yu grabbed Yan Li's collar tightly, his eyes red. The palace servants outside did not dare to get close. This was the emperor's confidant. It was obviously not something that could make the emperor so frightened, and they, the little eunuchs and palace maids, could understand. They even retreated outside in a serious manner.

"It's true. Miss Chu Wanran and Mu Heng have never been together since they got married, and Miss Wanran became pregnant a month after the marriage... and Miss Mu gave birth prematurely." Yan Li honestly told the emperor Chen Yu the news he had found out.

Chen Yu dejectedly put Yan Li down and looked at the portrait in the secret compartment of the imperial study. It turned out to be Wanran who saved her, but why didn't she see her when she woke up? So Mu Wange was her daughter, their daughter. Wanran, why were you so foolish? I don't care about the throne at all, that's what you should have told yourself back then. No wonder you looked at me like that, then turned around and agreed to marry Mu Heng...

"Yan Li, I want to gradually admire Wange, my daughter."

Yan Li looked at Chen Yu who was so excited. He also knew Chen Yu's temperament. "Your Majesty, I know you want to see Miss Mu, but you are too excited now. It is not appropriate to see her like this."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's not easy for me to see her in my current state. Does she look like Wanran or me? She's so old now, is Mu Heng treating her well?"

Yan Li looked at Chen Yu who was so panicked and felt really helpless. He was the emperor, why was he in such a state? No one would believe it if the news got out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down. If you want to see Miss Mu, you can do so now." When Yan Li entered the palace, he heard the palace servants say that the third princess Chen Yueyao had invited the county lord Gong Qingyu and Miss Mu from the Shangshu Mansion to come to the palace.

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty, the Third Princess Chen Yueyao seems to have made an appointment with her to come to the palace with the Marquis of Yongding's daughter Gong Qingyu. I think she is in the harem right now."

When Chen Yu heard that Mu Wange was in the harem, he calmed down a little and regained his rationality. He thought that Yan Li was able to find out this matter because of confirmation from many parties and the information he provided. Otherwise, the Prince of Yan's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion would not have found out these things for more than ten years. Now Mu Wange's life experience really cannot be made public.

"Zuo Ci!" Chen Yu suddenly remembered that his brother, the late emperor, had arranged for his daughter, Mu Wange, to be married to Zuo Ci. "My daughter was arranged to be married to you like this?!"

Yan Li looked at Chen Yu who was already crazy at the moment, and it was not easy to persuade him, because he was immersed in the emotion of his beloved giving birth to a daughter for him.

"Your Majesty, let's talk about this later. Shouldn't you go and see Miss Mu first?" Yan Li also had good intentions. It was normal for Chen Yu to go to the harem. He needed to see the empress dowager. It was impossible to summon him over. If someone saw him, rumors would definitely arise.

"Yes, yes, let's go to the harem and see her first. My daughter."

Chen Yu calmed down for a while, changed her clothes and went to the harem. Then she pretended to be indifferent and inquired about Chen Yueyao's whereabouts. Sure enough, she found out where Chen Yueyao and the others were.

"Yueyao, is this your friend outside the palace?"

"Greetings to Your Majesty!!"

Chen Yu’s sudden appearance scared Gong Qingyu, and she quickly pulled Mu Wange to salute.

"Greetings, Uncle!" Chen Yueyao was also stunned for a moment before she saluted. "Uncle, yes. This is Gong Qingyu, and that is Mu Wange."

In fact, Chen Yu saw Mu Wange as soon as he came over. The natural blood relationship made him feel that that was his daughter, but he couldn't look at her obviously at this moment. He also wanted to walk closer to take a closer look at this girl, so he spoke.

Although Chen Yu wanted not to look at Mu Wange, his eyes could not help but look towards Mu Wange.

Even the slow-witted Gong Qingyu noticed the gaze. Her heart was pounding as she suddenly recalled her father's lament at the time: "That's not it, that's not it. Chen Yu and Mu Wange's mother, could it be that he missed Mu Wange's mother and now has his eye on Mu Wange? That's impossible. Chen Yu is old enough to be Mu Wange's father. Is he just an old cow eating young grass?"

I have to tell you the truth about Princess Gong Qingyue. Isn't he Mu Wange's biological father? He's the kind of father who just found out that Mu Wange is his daughter.

In contrast to Chen Yueyao and Gong Qingyu's concerns, Mu Wange sensed that Chen Yu's gaze wasn't the same. He also guessed that Chen Yu might have found out about the original owner's mother after returning from Minzhou. Otherwise, he wouldn't be looking at him in that way, definitely not the way Chen Yueyao and Gong Qingyu were worried. Furthermore, Meng Yan and the others had also been released, unharmed, as if they had just returned from a long journey.

"Is the Imperial Uncle here to see the Imperial Grandmother?"

Chen Yueyao awkwardly tried to find something to say, fearing that Chen Yu would come up with something else. It was so awkward to just stare at Wange like that. Wange had already been betrothed to Zuo Ci, the son of the Emperor's uncle's good friend. Would the Emperor's uncle steal her from Zuo Ci? Could she and Gong Qingyu, the only ones in the palace, stop him?!

"Yes, but I heard from the palace that you hosted a banquet for Miss Mu and Princess Gong Qingyu, so I came to take a look."

"Thank you for your concern, uncle."

Chen Yu noticed that his niece and Gong Qingyu had become uneasy since he appeared, and he knew they had misunderstood his intentions. But even so, Chen Yu couldn't bear to let her out of his sight. She was his and Chu Wanran's daughter. Her face resembled hers, but the corners of her mouth and eyebrows vaguely resembled his own. Fortunately, she resembled Wanran, so beautiful and charming. It had been over a decade since he saw her for the first time, and he wanted to give her the best in the world, but even acknowledging this daughter was so difficult.

Chen Yu screamed in her heart, and clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, fearing that she would offend Mu Wange and make her feel bad.

"You're welcome. I've asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some batteries, and they'll be delivered to you later. Have fun. I'll go see the Queen Mother now so I won't disturb your gathering."

Chen Yu knew that if he stayed here, the girls would probably think more about him. But they had seen him this time anyway, and there was still a long time to come. If they had the chance to see Mu Wange again, they would just be patient.

"Thank you, uncle, for the reward."
