The legitimate daughter returns, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion regrets and begs for for

"I told you, I will come to negotiate with you again today!"

Su Muya snorted coldly and remained silent.

The man wasn't angry; he just quietly looked at Su Muya.

Su Muya felt uncomfortable under his gaze, so she turned around and went back to her room, intending to close the door.

However, as soon as she opened the door, she found a leg blocking the gap. Helpless, she had no choice but to open the window and climb out.

However, she forgot that she was wearing a palace maid's clothes, and the window was made of wood with thin and brittle paper. With a gentle push, it fell down.

She let out a wail.

How could she be so stupid as to puncture the window paper!

With a "bang," Su Muya fell to the ground.

She clutched her buttocks in pain, her brows furrowed.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

Upon seeing this, the man curled his lips into a mocking smile, then turned and flew away.

He was incredibly fast, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

"Ah, help!"

Su Muya lay on the ground, wailing.

Just then, the door creaked open from the outside, and two guards rushed in, helped Su Muya up, and took her away.

What are you doing?

What? You're arresting me? Put me down, I want to go back to sleep. Ah!

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her neck, and then she lost consciousness.

The next day, when Su Muya woke up, she found herself lying in her own bedroom.

This was the first time she had ever stayed in such a luxurious room.

She had never been to this room before, but she knew that it must be the emperor's private bedroom.

Your Majesty, this man is completely unfathomable to her! She doesn't even know why she came to the capital, let alone why she has become like this!

She kept trying to escape, but the more she tried to escape, the more those things seemed to be engraved in her mind, impossible to shake off.

She wanted to escape, but she was afraid of angering the emperor and getting herself into trouble!

She truly didn't understand why she had fallen to such a state. Was it really because of that female ghost?

"Ouch, that hurts!"

She couldn't help but cry out.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a pretty young woman walked in.

Su Muya looked up and was stunned when she saw the girl's face!

This girl is exactly the same person I met at the palace gate yesterday.

Is this the same person?

However, they look completely different.

The girl's features were exquisitely beautiful, her skin was as smooth as snow, her dark eyes flickered with confusion and bewilderment, and her rosy, full cherry lips seemed capable of devouring the deepest desires in one's heart.

She is an absolute beauty, a natural beauty!

However, at the same time that Su Muya saw this girl, the girl was also sizing her up.

The two of them just stared at each other like that.

"Hey, do you... know me?"

After a long silence, the girl finally broke the deadlock and said softly.

Su Muya shook her head: "I don't know you!"

"Ha, you're lying! Your face clearly says you're mute, yet you still won't admit it! I know who you are, your name is Mu Ya! We met in the capital, I'm Mu Lanxuan's cousin. My name is Mu Yuqing, I'm a maid here."

Su Muya was startled. No wonder the girl's face looked so familiar; it turned out to be Mu Lanxuan's sister!

But why did Mu Lanxuan kidnap me?

She doesn't even know Mu Lanxuan!

The moment this thought crossed Su Muya's mind, a chill ran down her spine, and a fine layer of sweat broke out on her back.

Mulanxuan!

How could she forget that her enemy was Mu Lanxuan!

Could this person be someone Mu Lanxuan sent to take revenge on her? But what evidence does he have to prove that she killed his parents?

Su Muya was completely baffled. She dared not speculate, for fear that she might accidentally get herself into trouble.

Therefore, she decided to observe for a while and wait until she was sure that the other party would not hurt her before trying to get away.

She looked down at her palace attire and then asked Mu Yuqing, "Excuse me, how did my clothes end up here?"

Mu Yuqing was taken aback, not expecting Su Muya to ask this.

"Oh, this? This is a new palace dress that His Majesty specially prepared for you."

Su Muya nodded.

"Thank you!"

You're too kind!

Su Muya asked again, "Where is this?"

Mu Yuqing said, "This is the imperial palace!"

Su Muya was startled.

So, she's come to the palace?

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, and a man dressed as a eunuch entered the room, kneeling respectfully on the ground: "This servant kowtows to Your Highness the Imperial Concubine! Long live Your Highness the Imperial Concubine!"

Upon hearing this, Su Muya frowned slightly. "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine?"

She looked up at Mu Yuqing.

Mu Yuqing was also surprised.

"The Imperial Concubine? Isn't she already dead?"

The eunuch said, "The Empress is not dead. However, His Majesty forbids anyone from mentioning it. There is poison in her body. If it flares up, she must be treated immediately, otherwise she may lose her life!"

Su Muya nodded.

It turned out to be the case.

This emperor is so heartless!

However, she had also heard that this emperor was ruthless and heartless towards his concubines.

"Your Majesty, today, the Emperor has summoned you and the Sixth Prince to a banquet at the palace!"

"Okay, I understand. You may leave now."

The eunuch left, leaving only Mu Yuqing and Su Muya in the room.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor must be looking for you about that matter, right? Please don't be afraid. You are a Noble Consort, bestowed the title of Imperial Noble Consort by the Emperor himself. You have nothing to fear; just act according to your own will!"

Upon hearing this, Su Muya smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. You should go and rest too."

Mu Yuqing nodded and left.

Su Muya sighed. She couldn't help but think of that emperor. Was his heart made of flesh or iron?

The emperor was so cruel to her that he wouldn't even tell her her name!

She couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Su Muya lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Just then, a soft sound came from the doorway, as if someone was opening it.

Su Muya's heart suddenly raced.

Could it be that Mu Lanxuan has come to capture her again?

She dared not move, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The door was gently opened, and a slender figure appeared in the room, holding a bowl of porridge in her hands.

"You're awake?"

A familiar voice came through.

Su Muya opened her eyes.

She saw a girl in a pale yellow dress standing by the bed. The girl had bright, large eyes, her black hair was styled into a swallow bun, a gold hairpin was inserted diagonally on her head, and a pink diamond pendant hung from her earlobe. She looked charming and lovely.

This is Mu Yuqing!

Mu Yuqing placed the porridge on the table and then sat down on the edge of the bed.
