Hearing Murong Yue's guarantee, the empress nodded her head in satisfaction, then turned to Aunt Yu and said, "Aunt Yu, I have been sick recently and have roughly decided what to do with the crown prince's Wife Selection Banquet. You can accompany the wangfei and settle the rest of the matters. If something goes wrong, you guys are the only ones to ask. "
"Yes, this servant will follow Empress Dowager's orders." Aunt Yu replied respectfully.
He turned to Murong Yue and said, "Princess, please follow this servant."
Murong Yue felt that this scene could not be more familiar. The last time she came to the palace, the empress had tricked her into the garden and then ordered someone to abandon her. Although she didn't know where the empress had wanted to lure her to back then, at least she wanted to kill her then. And it also caused her to meet Feng Qing.
Murong Yue decisively blamed Feng Qing's situation on the empress. Now that the Aunt Yu had asked him to follow her, Murong Yue naturally had a heart of his own. After walking out of the house with Aunt Yu, he heard her say: "Seventh Princess, His royal highness the prince's Wife Selection Banquet s are to be set up in the Linglong Palace. Along the way, we will invite the various ladies here to perform in the imperial garden.
"For such an important place like this, I think it's best to wait for Empress Dowager to recover before deciding on anything." Murong Yue said decisively.
When the Aunt Yu heard that, he was stunned for a moment before turning angry. The order the Queen gave her was to involve Murong Yue in it. If Murong Yue did not do it, the one to be punished would be herself. Thinking about it this way, Aunt Yu's face darkened as he said unkindly, "Esteemed Empress Dowager's meaning is to let my wife train for a bit more. If she can't even decide on such a small matter, how can she be worthy to be my Seventh Princess?"
Murong Yue was simply about to burst out laughing at her provocation, "It's not up to you to say that I'm not fit to be the Seventh Princess. As for the feast? " Murong Yue raised his eyebrows. In his heart, he knew that he could not hide, and could only brace himself: "I ask Aunt Yu to tell me in detail, it is a matter of great importance after all. If something goes wrong, I cannot afford to compensate."
Seeing Murong Yue agree, the Aunt Yu was satisfied, she took out the blueprint given by the Queen and said respectfully: This is the blueprint given by the Linglong Palace, the Empress Dowager hopes that you can help her inspect the surroundings, and whether there are any problems. Linglong Palace has not lived for many years and it is inevitable that it will be a little messy. "
A place where no one had lived for many years for the crown prince to choose from?
Murong Yue could not help but be surprised, did Feng Qing know about this?
"Alright, wangfei please follow me." Aunt Yu didn't care what Murong Yue was thinking, and only spoke for himself. Seeing that Aunt Yu was walking in the front, Murong Yue naturally wanted to keep up with her, but she earnestly remembered the way this time.
If what had happened the last time happened, he would have a solution instead of waiting blankly for someone else to come find him. That feeling of helplessness, it was best if he didn't have to do it a second time. Thinking about this, Murong Yue caught up to the footsteps of the Aunt Yu.
In fact, Murong Yue was overthinking it this time. How could the empress use the same trick a second time when it had already been used? Furthermore, the Crown Prince Wife Selection Banquet was an important matter, so naturally, she would not joke about this matter.
If the Seventh Princess died in the imperial palace before the crown prince chose his wife, one could easily imagine how furious the emperor would be. The empress was no fool, so she naturally understood this.
The location of the Linglong Palace was not very remote, and could even be said to be directly to the east of the Imperial Palace. Just a short distance away from it was the throne room.
The Aunt Yu gave the blueprint to Murong Yue and said, "Please inspect the place thoroughly. If there are any problems, please mark them down as well. At noon, I will naturally come to meet the princess. "
With that, the Aunt Yu left.
Murong Yue was completely stunned by Lei Li's actions. Looking at the map in his hands, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How much did the empress hate her? That's why he left her alone in Linglong Palace?
As no one lived here throughout the year, the entire Linglong Palace seemed cold and gloomy. Regardless of anything else, this atmosphere was not suitable for the Crown Prince to choose a consort. Since he was already here, he might as well take care of it. Murong Yue did not rush it and took out the map from his hands.
Every inch of the palace was clearly marked. It didn't look like he was going to do anything about it. He didn't know what the empress was up to this time either. Thinking about this, Murong Yue pushed open the door to the main hall of the Linglong Palace.
He saw a portrait hanging in the main hall. This portrait depicted a woman. The woman in the portrait was dressed in red and looked extremely beautiful. However, that was not the point, the point was that the person in the portrait was extremely similar to Feng Li.
Seeing this scene, Murong Yue was a little shocked.
Previously, she only knew that Feng Li's mother was a princess from a different kingdom, but she didn't expect to see her here. That's right, to be able to be so similar to Feng Li, other than the dead princess, there should not be anyone else.
Just as Murong Yue was deep in thought, he heard several rustling sounds coming from outside the door. Hearing that, Murong Yue's gaze turned cold, he turned around and asked: "Who is it?"
After saying this, there was no one outside, and Murong Yue's heart tensed up even more. After all, it was not a good thing for the empress to send her here. Thinking this way, Murong Yue walked out. Then, he saw a shadow flash by his side.
Murong Yue chased after her without hesitation, only to see that her shadow had forced her into an alley. Murong Yue walked up, and was about to capture this person, when he heard a woman's aggrieved voice: "royal sister-in-law, don't be rash."
The woman's voice made Murong Yue stop in his tracks. She looked at the person with some surprise. This was a woman wearing violet clothes, and her intelligent eyes were filled with a smile.
"Princess Wuyou?" Murong Yue asked with some uncertainty.
"It's only been a day's worth of effort, but royal sister-in-law can't remember Wuyou?" The Princess Wuyou asked with a smile. Hearing that, Murong Yue immediately shook his head, he was shocked: "Why are you here?"
"Me?" Wuyou pointed at himself, then laughed: "Today, when I heard that royal sister-in-law was invited by Empress Dowager to the Imperial Palace, I sent someone to follow him. I never thought that the royal sister-in-law would actually be thrown here. "
"Isn't this the place where Empress Dowager will choose his concubines?" Murong Yue asked doubtfully. Then, he saw Princess Wuyou looking at her with an expression as if he were looking at a fool: "It's like this, only ? However, it is up to royal sister-in-law to decide first. "
"What do you mean?" Murong Yue could not help but be taken aback.
Princess Wuyou tidied up his dirty clothes from the run, and said unhurriedly: "This Linglong Palace, is the palace where the Seven Royal Brother s lived all those years ago. After the Seven Royal Brother s had won the battle, they begged the royal father to come here. So no one lives here. The reason that the Empress Dowager asked the royal sister-in-law to come here, is probably because he wants to push this matter to the royal sister-in-law. "
"How do you know all this?" Murong Yue's gaze darkened.
"My Mother imperial concubine said it. Mother imperial concubine said that Empress Dowager would definitely make use of this matter. " Princess Wuyou stuck out his tongue and explained.
Hearing this, Murong Yue finally understood why the Queen wanted to capture her. He had actually wanted to push the matter of him activating the Linglong Palace onto her head. If she did it, Feng Li wouldn't have gotten angry in public.
If Feng Li disliked her, then she could be squashed flat by the Queen. If Feng Li was not angry... Then the matter of the Linglong Palace would also shake the frightening position that Feng Li occupied in the hearts of the crowd of ministers. Feng Li did not have the support of his mother in the first place.
If Feng Li wanted to protect his own dignity, then he must have a certain attitude towards the matters of the Linglong Palace.
The empress really had a venomous heart. As Murong Yue thought about this, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed. It was just that he didn't know if the reason the Princess Wuyou came to announce the news to her so quickly was because of him or her orders.
