The peerless and dark princess

I have to say that Mu Ruohan is much more ruthless than before. After all, they are brothers and sisters, so she can still kill them. Of course, she and Mu Yucheng are indeed siblings.

At the beginning, Mu Yucheng sent Zhou Yu to Muruohan's bed in order to make Muruohan pregnant and thus secure his own future. Now Muruohan wants to kill his brother for his own sake. It can only be said that it is karma.

Similarly, Mu Wange knew that they were also looking for Mu Yucheng. Since Mu Yucheng had been so cruel to Mu Ruohan in the past, and he had lost his official position and been demoted because of these things, he would definitely take revenge. Such a poisonous snake should be eliminated as soon as possible.

However, it seemed like Mu Yucheng had disappeared. Mu Wange, Zuo Ci, and the Chu family were unable to find his hiding place. Could it be that he was rescued by someone?

Mu Yucheng was hiding in a dilapidated house in the suburbs. It was far from the capital, so even if someone saw him, they would think he was just a beggar. That was why Mu Yucheng was able to hide. Moreover, his appearance was damaged during his escape, and he looked very different from his usual handsome appearance. That was why he was not discovered.

At the same time, Mu Wange was planning to rescue Zhao Yaxin from the Second Prince's Mansion. Zuo Ci was a little puzzled about this and wondered what the role of such a person was.

"Isn't this Zhao Yaxin on bad terms with you? Why did you rescue her?"

"Zhao Yaxin's thing is useless, but the baby in her belly is useful. Otherwise, why would I bother with all this effort? There are all kinds of situations on this road, maybe this baby will be useful. Anyway..."

"I, Zuo Ci, don't need it. However, since you've made the preparations, just save her. After all, it's helping Zhao Yanqing. I really don't know what he was thinking, saving his stepmother's daughter..."

So, after Mu Wange had made his plan, he asked Zuo Jiu to take Mu Ying to implement it. This was also to train Mu Ying. After all, as long as Zhao Yanqing and Zuo Jiu cooperated well, this matter would be enough.

"Dongxue, are you sure it's tonight? Then..."

"The eldest young master said that someone will cooperate, miss, don't worry. Dongxue is here." Although Dongxue was a little nervous, she still plucked up the courage.

"Okay, have you packed up the valuables?"

Actually, there was nothing to pack, because the royal belongings couldn't be taken away, and most of the jewelry Zhao Yaxin brought from the mansion had been exchanged for silver by Dongxue, so all she needed to take was some ordinary clothes and silver. It was only because Zhao Yaxin was a little nervous that she asked Dongxue this question.

"Put it away, it's all packed up."

At night, a fire broke out in Zhao Yaxin's courtyard. It was already afternoon when the servants and maids from the Second Prince's Mansion finally arrived.

When Chen Yunfeng arrived, the place was already ablaze with rage, and he was stunned. Although he disliked Zhao Yaxin, he had never treated her unfairly except for the fact that she hadn't been staying here. He had also heard that the people below didn't respect Zhao Yaxin, but the affairs of the maids and servants had always been managed by the housekeeper and the old nanny.

"what happened?"

"Your Highness, I don't know why this nice house caught fire."

"What about Concubine Yaxin?"

"Your Highness, it is said that he is still inside."

Chen Yunfeng also thought about what he would face tomorrow. He couldn't understand why Zhao Yaxin, who was just staying in this courtyard, didn't have any grudges against him. How could it be Ruohan? Chen Yunfeng was shocked by this thought and quickly denied it: Ruohan was so kind and weak, how could she harm Zhao Yaxin? Besides, he doted on Ruohan and made her a concubine, giving her the same status as Zhao Yaxin. Because of him, Ruohan was even more... No, he was just overthinking it.

A quarter of an hour later, the fire in the courtyard was finally extinguished, revealing three bodies. Chen Yunfeng had them identified, and they turned out to be Zhao Yaxin and her servant. The other was the mute gardener from the mansion. Even Zhao Yaxin and Dongxue had no idea that their kindness had cost the mute gardener his life.

This commotion naturally disturbed Emperor Chen Yan and Empress Meng Yujiao in the palace. Meng Yujiao immediately wondered what Muruohan had done. But then she thought, besides being the principal consort, her son doted on her, and her brother Mu Yucheng's recent affairs were well known. She should have kept a low profile now.

Could it be that the Zhao family had abandoned their daughter to support Crown Prince Chen Yunjie? However, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. Could it be that...

"Queen, look at your son!!"

"Your Majesty, the cause of the fire at Feng'er's mansion is unknown, so why are you blaming him?"

"If it wasn't him, could it be that his concubine offended someone she shouldn't have? How did a woman who was bedridden and never left the house end up offending her enemies? Queen, tell me."

"Your Majesty, it's true that this child is my prince, but he is also yours. You should know his temperament. How can you... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't just... just because he is my child..."

Meng Yujiao was furious, but she could only shout at the top of her lungs to express her grievances and other emotions. She was indeed upset. When Chen Yan was still a prince, she had married him as his principal wife, but after he ascended the throne, he made Chen Yunjie's mother his empress. This was a complete slap in her face and the face of their Meng family.

Now, her son is inferior to Chen Yunjie. He is obviously also a legitimate son. Why can't her son be the crown prince and the son of that woman?

"Queen, what do you think I don't know? I just turned a blind eye. After all, you are the Queen."

"Yes, I am the Queen. Your Majesty, you forgot that the position of Queen originally belonged to me. When Your Majesty ascended the throne, Feng'er should have been the rightful Crown Prince, but now the Crown Prince is Yunjie. However, even when I was unhappy, I never harmed him..."

Meng Yujiao was completely furious, because she knew that Emperor Chen Yan thought that Zhao Yaxin was the daughter of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family was the road that he, Chen Yan, paved for the crown prince Chen Yunjie, so she would...

When Meng Yujiao mentioned what happened that year, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, as if his secrets had been exposed, but he couldn't vent his anger on Meng Yujiao.

After all, the Meng family's foundation was still there, and he couldn't break off relations with them. His son, Chen Yunjie, wasn't yet capable of leading a charge on his own. Besides Yunfeng, the empress's son, Yunbin also had ambitions, but they hadn't yet threatened the country, and as a father, he couldn't do anything about them. So, he had no choice but to walk away.

"My lady, why are you doing this?"

"Mammy, is it me? It's His Majesty. After all these years, how exactly am I inferior to her?"

"Your Majesty is not inferior to that person, it's just that the difference lies in who your Majesty's heart is with."

"Yes. However, His Majesty thought that the road he had paved for Yunjie was enough. Little did he know that Yunjie... I was fighting like this just to vent my anger, but... However, I have no way out."

Meng Yujiao said this a little dejectedly, but after a while she returned to her graceful and elegant self as the queen.
