While Mu Yue was pondering, a little eunuch suddenly appeared in front of her.

The young eunuch had handsome features and a heroic air about him, making him seem less like someone from the palace.

These facial features look so familiar, like I've seen them somewhere before!

But Mu Yue clearly remembered that there was no such eunuch in the palace.

At least she had never seen it.

"Moon, you've just finished tea and snacks, so you can't walk too fast. Why don't you rest here with your mother for a while?"

As the Empress finished speaking, the somewhat familiar-looking eunuch in front of her immediately reached out his hand, wanting to step forward and help Mu Yue up.

Mu Yue felt from the bottom of her heart that the person in front of her did not seem like a eunuch, but more like one of those idle playboys from outside the palace.

Then I thought of my mother's plans these days.

Mu Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she had a guess.

Could this eunuch-dressed man in front of me be the consort that the Empress Mother has chosen for me?

She was initially puzzled as to why her mother-in-law would give her a potent aphrodisiac, since the only people in the harem besides the concubines were castrated eunuchs.

This medicine, once administered, only caused me pain and served no other purpose.

However, if the Empress Dowager had arranged for a man outside the palace to use this opportunity to make her consummate her marriage with him, then it would be understandable.

The Empress Dowager has really lost her mind.

Even if the plan proceeds smoothly according to his wishes, once it succeeds, the Emperor will thoroughly investigate how the person who bullied him entered the harem.

Then the Emperor will know everything about the Empress Dowager's little schemes.

Has she stopped caring about her image in the Emperor's eyes?

Mu Yue didn't understand, but her body instinctively stepped back, increasing the distance between herself and the little eunuch in front of her.

The eunuch's hand missed its target, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled gently and said, "Your Highness, this servant will help you into the inner palace to rest for a while!"

"There's no need for that. Although Kunning Palace is a bit far from Cining Palace, Yue'er will take care of her health and won't walk too fast, so she won't hurt herself and won't need to rest again. Your Majesty, there's no need to worry."

The Empress's initial plan was to delay, so that her own people could bring the people she had arranged into the palace.

Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

She naturally had no need to pretend and act with her daughter.

With a cold face, the Empress instructed the other trusted confidantes in Kunning Palace, "Her Highness the Princess is tired. Escort her to the inner palace to rest!"

"Hongxin, you will accompany Her Highness the Princess!"

Everyone in Kunning Palace had some guesses about the Empress's actions, but they were not sure what she was going to do.

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Mu Yue and the little eunuch named Hong Xin.

Mu Yue knew that without the system, this cheat code would definitely not be able to identify the drugs in the tea and pastries, nor would it be able to get rid of them.

After being restrained by the servants of Kunning Palace and taken to the inner palace, she will definitely have some ambiguous relationship with this little eunuch according to the Empress's wishes.

At that time, for the sake of the Qing princess's reputation, and given that the other party's status is not too bad, the Emperor Father will probably have no choice but to go along with the Empress Mother's wishes and marry himself off to her.

Oh, Empress Dowager, you've gone to such lengths to scheme against your own daughter for the sake of your family. You're utterly foolish.

She learned martial arts from her teacher when she was young, and her skills were quite good.

He had a soft whip wrapped around his waist, a gift from his father.

If the servants of Kunning Palace really try to force me to stay as the Empress Dowager wishes, then don't blame her for taking action.

She had not told her mother-in-law that she could use a whip, and she also specifically asked her father-in-law not to tell her mother-in-law, so that her mother-in-law would think that she played with such dangerous things all day long and did not act like a proper young lady.

Therefore, the empress was unaware that she had the ability to protect herself.

Right now, this has become her only way to break the deadlock.

Mu Yue lowered her head and looked at the soft whip at her waist, but did not rush to pull it out.

Two fists are no match for four hands.

She had to deal with so many servants in Kunning Palace, so she inevitably had to use some tricks.

It's unclear where the Empress sent the other servants from Kunning Palace. As long as someone hears the commotion in the palace and spreads the news, she won't need to stay here and cause any more trouble.

During the brief moment that Mu Yue was pondering, the servants of Kunning Palace had slowly gathered in her direction.

The eunuch named Hongxin, who was standing not far from her, took three steps at a time, and the two were now only half an arm's length apart.

As long as Hongxin reaches out, he can grab Muyue.

With a smug look on his face, he decisively reached out to grab Mu Yue.

Mu Yue appeared to be standing still, doing nothing, but in reality, she had been on guard against these people's movements for a long time.

Noticing Hongxin's outstretched hand, she feigned displeasure and took a few steps back. "This princess is not tired, and Kunning Palace does not have a palace for me. Even if I want to rest, I don't need to stay in Kunning Palace. Your Majesty should abandon your original idea to avoid getting into trouble."

Mu Yue's words carried a hint of admonition, hoping that the Empress would listen to her and stop the ongoing plan.

This was also her last chance to give the Empress.

At this moment, the Empress was only focused on what she would gain if the plan succeeded, and she didn't care about the risks involved at all.

She impatiently urged the servants in Kunning Palace, "Can't you understand what I'm saying? What are you all dawdling for? If Her Highness doesn't get enough rest because of your negligence, I'll hold you all accountable!"

The Empress spoke words of concern for Mu Yue, but her actions showed no sign of it whatsoever.

The servants in Kunning Palace had no idea what had happened between the Empress and Mu Yue. Now that they had received the Empress's order, they could only exchange glances and rush towards Mu Yue.

Mu Yue estimated her distance from the Kunning Palace gate and confirmed that the gate was not locked before untying the soft whip from her waist.

"Your Majesty has been too busy with other matters these past years and hasn't paid attention to your daughter's activities. Now, I'll show you the skills I've learned from my teacher over the years!"

The Empress noticed the soft whip in Mu Yue's hand and heard what she said, and a bad feeling immediately arose in her heart.

Today's actions have completely shattered the bond between herself and her daughter. If she fails to achieve her goal, Yue'er will even go so far as to slander Hesheli in front of the Emperor and Baocheng.

She did so much not to make Hesheli's fate worse.

Thinking of this, the Empress, her face darkening, urged the servants, "Hurry up and get to work!"

The moment Mu Yue untied the soft whip, she had already given up all expectations of the Empress. Hearing the Empress's urging, she only frowned slightly, her heart remaining completely unmoved.

She gripped the soft whip, looking at the servants before her, "Weapons have no eyes; if they hurt you, don't blame me, the princess!"

Many servants who valued their lives paused for a moment upon hearing this, but the empress's urging from behind made them quicken their pace again.

Hongxin took three steps at a time and rushed quickly towards Muyue.

Mu Yue had only fought with her own teacher before, and she was not very clear about the abilities of others or herself, so she was very cautious.

The moment Hongxin rushed over, she didn't rush to swing her whip, but instead chose to dodge immediately. However, there were too many servants, and they were mostly gathered around her.

She didn't have enough space to hide.

Even if she had to hide, she should hide towards the gate so that once she had enough space, she could leave Kunning Palace immediately and avoid getting entangled with these people.

Mu Yue carefully observed the surrounding situation and found that there were an unusually large number of people heading towards the gate. She needed to distract them first, otherwise it wouldn't be very realistic to retreat towards the gate.

Thinking of this, she took a few steps back to the right side of the door.

There were relatively few servants here, which made it easier for her to break through.

Fearing that her intention to leave would be too obvious and attract more people to attack her, Mu Yue swung her whip at Hong Xin in front of her as she retreated.

Seeing the whip flying towards his face, Hongxin's first reaction was to back away and avoid it.

The distance between the two of them involuntarily increased.

The Empress watched anxiously from the side, her hands clenched tightly.
