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

"I promised my mother that I would bring Su Muxue back to Dongli Kingdom and then make my father the prime minister. I entrust this matter to Your Majesty. Rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as you are willing to help me with this, I will definitely help you get rid of Prime Minister Su and ensure that he can never set foot in the palace again!"

"Is everything you're saying true?"

The Imperial Noble Consort raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Muya with some uncertainty, asking her question.

"Of course it's true!"

Su Muya nodded firmly and said, "If Your Highness has any questions, please feel free to come to me!"

"You little rascal, you're such a clever and mischievous girl!"

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Noble Consort couldn't help but reach out and pinch Su Muya's nose, then chuckled and scolded her.

"Then, Your Highness will take your leave now!"

Su Muya smiled, then turned and left.

After leaving the palace, Su Muya returned to Prime Minister Su's courtyard.

"Miss, Miss, you're finally back!"

When Xiaoyu saw Su Muya return, she quickly went to greet her and called out.

"Um."

Su Muya nodded, beckoned to Xiaoyu, and said, "Come here!"

Xiaoyu walked to Su Muya's side, glanced at her, and then asked softly, "Miss, where did you go today? Why are you so late? Master is already awake and is waiting for you in the hall!"

"I went to see the Imperial Noble Consort and discussed some matters with her."

Su Muya said calmly.

"The Imperial Noble Consort?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu's eyes widened as she stared at Su Muya in astonishment, then she asked, "You met with the Imperial Noble Consort? Were you mistreated?"

"How could I possibly feel wronged? I only went to see the Imperial Noble Consort; I didn't do anything else!"

Su Muya shook her head and looked at Xiaoyu, asking, "What? You don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm genuinely worried. I don't know if your close relationship with the Imperial Noble Consort for so long might have angered her."

Xiaoyu said worriedly.

"Hehe, I'm not a child. How could I be so foolish as to provoke the Imperial Noble Consort? Don't worry, besides, the Imperial Noble Consort is now the Emperor's favorite concubine, and she has a powerful background that shouldn't be underestimated. Do you think she would go after me over such a trivial matter?"

Upon hearing Xiaoyu's words, Su Muya couldn't help but snort coldly and said...

"That's true!"

Xiaoyu thought for a moment and nodded.

"Come on, I'll take you to see my father!"

Su Muya nodded and pulled Xiaoyu toward Su Muxue's courtyard.

"Father, your daughter is back!"

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Su Muya shouted into the house.

"Ya'er, you're back! How was it? Did you see the Imperial Noble Consort today?"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Su immediately came out of the house and asked anxiously.

Su Muya shook her head: "No."

"Oh dear! Ya'er, you've made a huge mistake this time!"

Upon hearing Su Muya's words, Prime Minister Su said with a look of exasperation, "This time, we must seize the opportunity. You absolutely cannot make another foolish mistake!"

"But Father!"

Su Muya frowned, looking at Prime Minister Su with a puzzled expression.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Prime Minister Su glanced at Su Muya, then continued, "Ya'er, you absolutely mustn't let this opportunity slip by! Think about it, if you can successfully eliminate Su Muxue this time, you'll not only be able to get rid of Su Muxue, but you can also help Prime Minister Su ascend to the position of Prime Minister. Then, Prime Minister Su's power will all fall into your hands in the future!"

"But"

Su Muya was still somewhat hesitant.

"Ya'er, we have no way out! This time, you must seize the opportunity and take down that good-for-nothing in one fell swoop!"

"Oh well."

Su Muya sighed and said, "It's a pity I didn't get rid of Su Muxue! But it's alright!"

"But this time, Su Muxue definitely won't be so lucky!"

Upon hearing Su Muya's words, Prime Minister Su's lips curled into a strange smile.

Su Muxue, this time, you won't be so lucky!

"Ya'er, you must remember, you are now cooperating with the Imperial Noble Consort. If you disobey her, she will definitely not let you off!"

Prime Minister Su watched Su Muya's retreating figure and warned her in a deep voice.

Su Muya was slightly taken aback by Prime Minister Su's words and couldn't help but turn around to look at him.

"Rest assured, this plan will absolutely not involve the Imperial Noble Consort!"

Upon hearing Prime Minister Su's words, Su Muya breathed a sigh of relief and then turned and left Prime Minister Su's courtyard.

Su Muya returned to Su Muxue's courtyard. Su Muxue had not yet gone to sleep. Upon seeing Su Muya return, she quickly stood up.

"Mu Xue pays her respects to His Highness the Seventh Prince!"

No need for formalities.

Murong Jinye raised his eyes and glanced at Su Muxue, then said, "I heard from Ya'er that what happened today was her fault. Please forgive her, young lady."

"Seventh Prince, you are too kind. My daughter is young and ignorant, and has offended Your Highness! I apologize to you."

Upon hearing Murong Jinye's words, Su Muxue immediately lowered her head and said respectfully.

"Miss Su, I don't blame you. You should lie down and rest quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow, so don't delay your rest!"

Murong Jinye listened to Su Muxue's words and said calmly.

"Thank you for your consideration, Seventh Prince. I will lie down and rest now!"

Su Muxue nodded, then turned and walked into the bed, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

Su Muya returned to her room, washed up, and then climbed into bed to sleep.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Su Muya woke up.

Last night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, but eventually succumbed to sleepiness and drifted off.

However, Su Muya had a nightmare.

In her dream, the Imperial Noble Consort had a full head of silver hair and a ferocious face; she bared her teeth and claws, wanting to kill her.

Su Muya opened her eyes in fright, sat up, and her forehead was covered in a fine sweat.

"Miss, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Would you like some water to calm your nerves?"

Hearing Xiaoyu's questioning voice from outside, Su Muya wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to the door, "Xiaoyu, I'm fine. Go prepare some food and bring it in! I'm hungry!"

"Miss, I've already had someone prepare some hot soup. Please bring it in shortly!"

Xiaoyu responded to Su Muya's instructions, then called out to the door, "Xiaoqing, come in and help my young lady with her makeup and dressing!"

"Oh dear, miss, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so frightened? Have you run into some bad people?"

Xiaoqing pushed the door open and came in. As soon as she saw Su Muya's appearance, she exclaimed in surprise.
