Transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty: The Beloved Princess Uses a System to Change the Plot

When the butler heard Mu Yue's question, his lips twitched, and his expression turned somewhat bitter. "Next door is the estate of His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess's great-uncle."

A name she hadn't heard in a long time rang out beside her, and Mu Yue looked somewhat bewildered.

But she quickly came to her senses.

She frowned and asked, "Then why is it so noisy?"

The steward of the estate couldn't answer this question in a short time.

After all, nothing like this happened next door in the previous two days.

Seeing that Mu Yue cared about the answer to this question, the steward immediately said with great insight, "This servant will arrange for someone to inquire about the situation next door."

Mu Yue nodded.

The Crown Prince overheard Mu Yue's conversation with the steward.

He knew his sister didn't like her great-uncle very much, and when he heard her asking the steward to inquire about the neighbors, he worried that she and her great-uncle would have another conflict.

At present, the Emperor's dissatisfaction with him is becoming more and more obvious, and he needs more support for his uncle to gain more influence in the court.

He needs his great-uncle's help.

We mustn't let Yue'er and her great-uncle start arguing.

Thinking of this, the Crown Prince immediately said to Mu Yue, "Yue'er, we went out to relax today, why let other people's affairs distract you?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yue paused for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "It's alright, Crown Prince."

"Yue'er just needs to ask around; it won't take much effort."

The Crown Prince looked at Mu Yue, about to say something, when the other princes who had gone to ride horses surrounded him.

The fourth-tier brother, who was closer to the crown prince, asked curiously, "Crown Prince Ke, aren't you going for a run?"

The crown prince did not want his feelings of gratitude to become public knowledge.

He is the crown prince; if he appears too weak, others will see him as a hyena eyeing its prey.

They swarmed in and divided everything he owned.

He didn't necessarily want the position of Crown Prince, but once he lost his position, he, his sister, and his mother would face certain death.

He absolutely would not allow such a situation to happen.

Thinking of these things, the Crown Prince's expression turned somewhat gloomy, but he still concealed it in front of Mu Yue.

"I'm a little tired."

After answering the Fourth Prince's question, the Crown Prince looked at Mu Yue, who was already at her post, and said with a somewhat helpless expression, "Since Yue'er is so interested in what's happening next door, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Mu Yue looked somewhat bewildered when she saw the Crown Prince's sudden change of attitude.

But things turned out the way she hoped, so she didn't feel the need to refuse.

She nodded immediately.

"Let's go next door and see what happened."

The group walked together toward the neighboring village.

The Crown Prince frowned as he looked at the Fourth Prince following behind them.

Right now, his fourth brother is quite loyal to him.

But who knows if he is truly as loyal as he appears?

You can't judge a book by its cover, and the fourth brother's adoptive mother was none other than Consort Tong.

Even if the fourth brother doesn't want to compete, the Tong family behind him might very well compete.

Judging from the noise coming from next door, it certainly wasn't anything good.

If my fourth brother were to come along and learn some inside information, it might become a handle against me in the future.

The Crown Prince did not want the Fourth Prince to come along.

But they couldn't find a suitable reason to keep the Fourth Prince there for the time being.

He frowned the whole way, looking very distressed.

Mu Yue noticed the Crown Prince's expression and was just about to ask him a few words of concern when they arrived at the gate of the neighboring estate.
