Chapter 137 Moving
Mu Xueli's face changed slightly after hearing Lin Yan's words, but she quickly returned to normal. She thought, how could Lin Yan accept this arrangement so easily? She must be pretending to be calm. So, she smiled and said, "Then it's settled. You can move to Xinyue Courtyard tomorrow."
Lin Yan nodded in agreement. She knew she couldn't show weakness in front of Mu Xueli, otherwise it would only make her more aggressive. However, she had already started thinking about how to deal with this incident.
"Xinyue Courtyard?" Lin Yan thought to herself. She was not unfamiliar with this courtyard. It was located in the northwest corner of the palace. Although the courtyard was large, there were only three main rooms, and the environment was relatively humid, with many mosquitoes. Although she was still favored by the prince, the other party dared to make such an arrangement. This made Lin Yan wonder what Mu Xueli relied on to be so arrogant.
In the evening, Zhao Yuan returned to the palace as usual and went straight to the Crescent Moon Courtyard. Wu Yue greeted him with a smile and said, "Cousin, you are back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Yeah." Zhao Yuan responded expressionlessly and walked into the wing room, but suddenly found something wrong. He looked around and saw that his belongings were still neatly arranged, but all of A Yan's things had disappeared without a trace. Just as he was puzzled, Wu Yue followed him into the room quietly and silently, and then gently hugged him from behind.
"I can finally feel your warmth again." There was a hint of satisfaction and happiness in Wu Yue's voice.
However, Zhao Yuan did not respond to her hug, but asked directly: "Where is A Yan?"
Hearing this question, Wu Yue was slightly startled, and then explained: "Concubine Lin, she took the initiative to move to Xinyue Courtyard. In Fan Country, I miss you every day, and I am afraid that you will be punished for taking me to escape the marriage..."
Zhao Yuan remained silent, his eyes flickering, his heart full of contradictions and struggles. Later he realized that all his actions were under the control of his father, and it was impossible for him to escape from the capital.
For the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, their father ordered that the matter of their escape from marriage should not be mentioned, and he was imprisoned for three full months and fined half a year's monthly salary.
Wu Yue pressed her cheek against Zhao Yuan's back and said happily, "Brother Yuan is always good to me."
Zhao Yuan remained silent and did not respond to her.
Wu Yue continued, "Brother Yuan, do you remember? When I was a kid, whenever someone bullied me, you would stand in front of me without hesitation, and then we would hide in the hole in the rose bushes together, trying our best to prevent those people from finding us. Although I was very, very happy at that time!"
Zhao Yuan remained silent and moved his body.
The whole room fell into silence, with only the intertwined breathing of the two people.
"Where did A Yan go? How did you end up living in Xianyue Courtyard?" Zhao Yuan asked with a frown.
Wu Yue's body stiffened, and she replied cautiously: "Concubine Lin, I just moved in, so I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with Crescent Moon Courtyard?"
"Who asked you to live here?" Zhao Yuan asked knowingly.
"Manager Zhai, if my cousin doesn't welcome me, I'll leave now." Wu Yue
"Since I have promised my mother, I will not go back on my word. I have something to do and I'll leave first. You should go to bed early." After saying this, Zhao Yuan left without looking back, leaving Wu Yue standing there stamping her feet.
With a look of reluctance on her face, she chased to the door and cried, "Brother Yuan, do you know how hard it was for me in the vassal state? If it weren't for my love for you and my desire to come back to find you, I would have hanged myself a long time ago."
Zhao Yuan stopped his hurried pace, still with his back to Wu Yue: "Just stay here and relax. No one will give you a hard time here. But I promised A Yan that I will never let her down."
"You and I have feelings for each other, how can I let down Concubine Lin? I have never thought of monopolizing you. I will be very happy if you just take a little time to come and see me, like before. We can serve you together, and live in harmony, isn't it good?"
Zhao Yuan seemed to be persuaded. He paused for three seconds, then walked away.
He was a little confused. It turned out that Wu Yue was thinking this way. On one hand, there was the promise to A Yan, and on the other hand, there was the past relationship. He didn't know how to choose, so he could only choose to escape.
Wu Yue was crying in the room. Was their relationship over? "No, never..."
She decided not to sit there and wait for death, but to take the initiative to make Zhao Yuan's heart return to her. She began to plan her next move, hoping to win Zhao Yuan's heart again.
"You are such a jerk, Zhai Zizhuang..." Zhao Yuan's face was gloomy. He raised his foot and kicked Manager Zhai out, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Chief Steward Zhai got up from the ground in a state of embarrassment and knelt down hurriedly to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Please listen to my explanation!"
Zhao Yuan snorted coldly, his tone was icy: "I want to hear it, what reasons do you have?"
Chief Steward Zhai replied tremblingly, "I was just following orders. Everything was done according to the instructions of Princess Mu. I also went to ask Concubine Lin for instructions, and Concubine Lin agreed to it. I really couldn't change it, so I had to follow your orders and redecorate Xinyue Courtyard. All the items used were of the best quality, and I had no intention of mistreating Concubine Lin in the slightest."
Zhao Yuan stared at Zhai Zongguan with eyes as sharp as an eagle, and said coldly: "Humph, you dare to conceal such an important matter and not report it to me in advance."
Chief Steward Zhai looked aggrieved and complained helplessly, "I did want to report it, but Princess Mu said before that if the prince blamed me, she would bear all the consequences. If I dared to disobey her order, it would be a great disrespect to her."
Manager Zhai secretly complained in his heart. Life in the palace was getting harder and harder. Many matters were beyond his control, and the methods of Princess Mu were even more frightening. He just wanted to save his life.
"No matter what Princess Mu tells you to do in the future, you must report it to me first before doing it." Zhao Yuan said. He was not very satisfied with Mu Xueli's performance in this regard, but he had no choice but to accept it, after all, Mu Xueli was pregnant.
"Yes!"
"Go down!" Zhao Yuan waved his hand and Zhai Zizhuang retreated.
At this moment, Lin Yan was lying comfortably on the couch, eating grapes and admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window. She was feeling so comfortable.
At this time, Zhao Yuan walked in, and when he saw this scene, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. However, when he noticed that there were only a few simple pieces of furniture in the room, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
He walked to Lin Yan and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Lin Yan turned her head and glanced at Zhao Yuan, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. She put down the apple in her hand and replied with a somewhat teasing tone: "It is indeed very aggrieved!" Then, she added: "Who said that she was your first love? She is also a princess. It is my honor that she can like my residence."
