The peerless and dark princess

Zhao Yaxin was relieved when Zuo Jiu and Zhao Yanqing took her outside. She felt a lot more relaxed when she thought about living a free life.

"Thank you, brother. It was Yaxin who was ignorant before."

Zhao Yaxin felt a little guilty and grateful in her heart.

"Nothing, just live a good life here from now on."

"Is this girl my sister-in-law?"

"No, no, that's not it." Zhao Yanqing kept muttering in his heart. How could he dare to marry someone of such status? He was Zuo Ci's man.

"Huh? No, sorry. I thought..."

"Nothing, Mr. Zhao, I'm leaving first."

After Zuo Jiu left, Zhao Yanqing introduced the room to Zhao Yaxin. Zhao Yanqing felt fortunate to have Dongxue to take care of her, otherwise, Zhao Yaxin, a delicate young lady, would have been overwhelmed. Zhao Yanqing had carefully considered the decision to move to this place. The villagers were relatively simple, far from the capital, and no one would know that a prince's concubine was here. Furthermore, Zhao Yanqing was already a "dead man."

The next day, Zhao Yuliang confronted the Second Prince, Chen Yunfeng, in court. "Second Prince, my daughter, Yaxin, was in good health before her marriage. But since marrying Your Highness, she has been bedridden, and now, she has perished in a fire. Your Majesty, I beg you to grant justice to me and my wife."

"Lord Zhao, if this is Yunfeng's fault, I will handle it impartially and will not bend the law for personal gain. Yunfeng, please tell me what you think."

"Father, I don't know. I don't really like Concubine Yaxin, but since she... I haven't treated her badly."

Zhao Yuliang immediately knelt on the ground after hearing what Chen Yunfeng said. "Your Majesty, Concubine Ruohan was still a concubine back then, yet she is now in charge of the household affairs of the Second Prince's residence. Isn't this bullying my daughter?"

Zhao Yuliang's words were a little inappropriate, making Chen Yan a little unhappy. Chen Yan was currently rejoicing over the emperor's eldest grandson that Ruohan was carrying, and Zhao Yuliang's words seemed to imply that he felt the child was not born properly.

"My dear, this is true, but now that Muruohan is Yunfeng's concubine, it is a bit inappropriate for you to say this. However, considering that my dear Zhao has lost his beloved daughter, I will not punish you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Zhao Yuliang was still somewhat unhappy and had not gained anything to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he knew when to stop.

Chu Lianyue and Chu Lianyao stood in the court, their eyes fixed on the drama, listening to it as if they weren't even there. Zuo Ci, on the other hand, yawned with his eyes closed. Everyone around them saw it, but since His Majesty Chen Yan had let this dandy act like this, they naturally wouldn't bother him.

On the other side, Zhou Yu quietly left the Second Prince's residence to look for the escaped Mu Yucheng after Mu Ruohan followed the nanny sent by Queen Meng Yujiao into the palace. Zhou Yu was lucky and found Mu Yucheng not long after arriving there.

"Young Master, it's me."

"Zhou Yu?"

"it's me."

"Did Ruohan ask you to come and save me?" Mu Yucheng had a fantasy in his heart. Although what he did was not decent, wasn't Mu Ruohan now living well with the man in front of him, Zhou Yu? Moreover, the child of these two people might even become...

"Yes, Miss Ruohan asked me to come."

Zhou Yu secretly controlled his heartbeat. He knew that although his kung fu was decent, he was facing the suspicious and ruthless Mu Yucheng.

"Is it?"

"Yes, yes, Master."

Mu Yucheng was a little skeptical. Although he had hoped that Mu Ruohan had sent someone to rescue him, he was no longer so sure. If Zhou Yu wasn't someone he knew and trusted, he would have run away instead of talking to him.

"That's good. Then buy me some food first. I haven't had a good meal in a long time." Mu Yucheng calmed himself down and tried every means to get Zhou Yu away so that he could escape.

This hit the spot. He had just happened to run into Mu Yucheng, and the people he had brought with him hadn't followed him yet. If he took action on his own, he might not be able to kill Mu Yucheng.

"Okay, Master. I'll go get you some food right away. Otherwise, Master, you should come with me. Don't worry, there are no pursuers there."

"What nonsense! I can't walk any more now. Find someone to pick me up."

Zhou Yu thought about it and decided to leave Mu Yucheng behind and find someone to kill him together. When he left, he also marked the road.

Mu Yucheng's expression darkened, he glanced at Zhou Yu's back, then turned and left.

But what Mu Yucheng didn't know was that when the incident just happened, Shen Xinyue secretly paid someone to find him, and also thought about getting in touch with the yamen runners who were escorting him.

However, before he could find out, Mu Yucheng was escorted away. Some people came to look for him along the way, but Mu Yucheng was too cautious of strangers, so the people Shen Xinyue found did not find him.

Mu Yucheng left carefully while avoiding leaving any traces to be discovered by Zhou Yu and others, but he didn't know that Mu Wange's men were following Zhou Yu.

Mu Wange was just giving it a try. After all, so many people hadn't found Mu Yucheng, so how could Zhou Yu find it? Who would have thought that Zhou Yu was so lucky.

When Zhou Yu came back, Mu Yucheng had long disappeared, so he searched around.

"who are you?"

"Of course someone is offering money for your head."

Mu Yucheng was somewhat desperate. He had managed to hide for so many days without being discovered, but now he had come to this point after meeting Zhou Yu.

However, some of the Mu Wange faction didn't want to kill Mu Yucheng anymore. Wouldn't it be better to leave it to Zhou Yu to do it? It was his sister who did it. Hmm, how great it would be if Shen Xinyue in the Mu Mansion knew about it.

"Mu Wange? Or the Prince of Yan's Mansion?"

"Ahem, you didn't guess it? Didn't you just ask someone to buy you food?"

"It's him. It's actually him. If it weren't for me..."

"..."

After hearing this, several people felt a little sick: in order to make Mu Ruohan pregnant, he actually sent a man to Mu Ruohan's bed. What's even more bizarre is that Mu Ruohan can blatantly put a hat on Chen Yunfeng. This brother and sister really are...

At this time, the people brought by Zhou Yu also arrived.

Mu Wange's men arrived pretentiously, "Mr. Zhou, we've got the people under your care. We'll be leaving first."

Zhou Yu thought that they were the people Muruhan had found, so he naturally had no objection and let them leave.

"I didn't expect it to be you. I didn't expect... But, if..."

"I'm sorry, Master. For Ruo'er and the child, I, Zhou Yu, have no choice but to do this."

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, but thinking of Mu Ruohan and the baby in her belly, he hardened his heart. "Do it."

Mu Yucheng was no match for Zhou Yu with his two fists and was eventually killed by him.
