Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

To be honest, Mu Qingli was a little speechless. Her clothes got a little wet just now, so she had to find an excuse to leave and change clothes. But what was interesting was that the palace maid who led the way took her around and around, and the route became more and more remote.

She pretended that she hadn't noticed anything and just followed behind with her skirt lifted up. However, as soon as she entered the hall, she smelled a strange fragrance in the room.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, covered his nose and pretended to be ignorant before asking, "What's that smell in this hall? Why is it so bad? What kind of incense are you using?"

The palace maid leading the way was of ordinary appearance, with facial features that might not be noticed if thrown into a crowd. At this moment, looking at her beautiful face, she casually explained indifferently.

"These incense sticks were arranged by the Inner Court. I'm not too sure, but I think they're probably used by the nobles. There's no one around here, so you can change your clothes here."

No one's around? Then are the faint breathing sounds in this hall ghosts?

Mu Qingli wanted to laugh when she heard this, and the corners of her lips curled up in an almost sarcastic arc, but she did not show it. Instead, she followed the other party's wishes and went straight into the inner room without forgetting to remind her.

"Then I'll wait here for a while. Please, young lady, please stand guard at the door. If my maid comes over with clothes, please let her know. I have to go back to the banquet."

The palace maid outside responded, raised her eyes to glance at the few people hiding in a hidden place, raised her hand to make a gesture, then lowered her eyes and quickly retreated.

Only after turning around did he reveal a mocking smile at the corner of his lips. "Since we've come this far, how can I let you go back? That's really a joke."

After thinking about it, the palace maid waited at the door for a while, and soon heard the sound of someone falling down inside. Then she raised her lips and smiled and shouted something inside the door.

"Hurry up, I'll go back and report the news to the master first. This is such a good thing that's really a bargain for you."

Soon, a response was heard from inside the room. Without thinking too much, the palace maid quickly closed the door and looked around to make sure no one was there before hurriedly leaving through the path.

She didn't notice that someone quickly followed her as soon as she left.

She didn't expect that the situation in the room at this time was even more surprising to her, even Lu Jinnian was very surprised.

He originally thought that the people who were secretly following him wanted to strip him of his clothes as a disguise and that they were brought here out of curiosity after being "knocked unconscious". However, he did not expect that they would carry him here and hide him without moving, as if they were waiting for someone to come.

What he didn't expect was that he heard someone talking after just a while. The most important thing was that he had heard that voice just now. It was not until he heard the conversation between the two that he realized that Mu Qingli was deceived by the palace maid who led the way.

He was just hesitating whether to rescue the man and save his own shaky reputation when he heard the thud of someone falling to the ground the next second.

Then a calm and pleasant chuckle was heard nearby.

"Since your Highness is awake, why not get up and chat?"

Lu Jinnian actually opened his eyes, stood up gracefully, and dusted off the dust on his body. He looked around at the eunuchs who had fallen down in the room and smiled unexpectedly.

"Miss Mu is worthy of being General Mu Yuan's daughter. She is really calm when faced with difficulties."

Mu Qingli tilted her head slightly and stared at him, seeming to find it very interesting. The corners of her lips twitched slightly, and after a moment of silence, she asked back.

"I wonder how your Highness is using my Taixu Order now? Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

"You! It's actually you?!"

Lu Jinnian's pupils were shocked when he heard this. For the first time, he widened his eyes in surprise and stared at her with an extremely strange look.

To be honest, when he received the Taixu Order, he did think about the identity of the person behind it. After all, the other party knew his identity and even understood his ambitions, but still gave him several big gifts.

He really didn't believe that someone said he had no requests for anything with such sincerity. It wasn't until he saw the letter mentioning that he only wanted his family to be safe that he became less vigilant. However, the person from Jinghua asked him to carefully examine the letter several times and he didn't expect that it would be from a member of the Mu family, and moreover, the daughter of the Mu family!

Mu Qingli laughed in her heart when she saw his rare surprised expression. She bent her knees slightly and smiled at him gracefully.

"If even His Highness is so surprised, I'm sure others won't suspect me. Why don't we talk somewhere else?"

She didn't wait for the other party to reply, but snapped her fingers. Soon a strong man came in through the rear window. After coming in, he put the person on his shoulders on the couch as if he didn't see anything.

Lu Jinnian forced himself to suppress the shock that was surging in his heart. He inadvertently glanced sideways and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He was speechless for a long time.

To be honest, he was really shocked at this moment, and his brain, which usually worked quickly, almost went on strike.

Mu Qingli glanced at him and walked out of the hall first. He bent his fingers slightly and blew out a strange bird call, then walked away.

Lu Jinnian was silent for only a moment, then he immediately made a decision and left without even caring about the mess behind him.

After all, it seems like someone has already arranged everything~

Mu Qingli led her people around and around before entering a quiet hall where no one would disturb them. She had said before that she would tell them her identity sincerely when the time was right, and she always kept her word.

Lu Jinnian hesitated for a moment, took a few steps back, and then sat down on the chair on the other side, staring at her with a strange expression.

"What does Miss Mu want to discuss with me? I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like you know me very well."

How could I not understand? I have been with you in my previous life and almost watched you start the uprising little by little. It would be too strange if I still said I don’t understand, right?

Mu Qingli's eyes flashed, then she looked up at him and asked calmly.

"Your Highness has had a hard time these past few years. Doesn't that mean you don't have any ambitions for that chair?"

Lu Jinnian didn't expect her to change the subject so quickly. His eyes darkened for a moment, but he didn't say anything and continued to look at her quietly.

Mu Qingli didn't want him to answer. She smiled at him with a curved lip, and her tone remained steady.

"I sent someone to Your Highness. She should have been sent to the cold palace by now. I would like to trouble Your Highness to help arrange her placement. It is best not to let her show up in public.

I still have some things to do later, so today isn't a good time to chat. I'll be waiting for Your Highness in the No. 1 room of the Fuqing Restaurant tomorrow at noon. I promise that Your Highness will know everything you want to know by then."

Time was running out, so she didn't stay any longer. She knelt down to greet him and turned to leave, but her eyes seemed to glance past the window inadvertently as she left.

As expected, the Seventh Prince had some ability to remain low-key in the palace for so long. If she hadn't come today, he would have been fine.
