Qin Yiyao looked at her inexplicably, thinking she was worried about her relationship with the prince, so she shook her head and refused: "No need, today I'm with you. Besides, now that Bai is in this situation, it's better to have a woman by her side."

  "Idiot!" Mu Qingge cursed silently in her heart.

  At this time, she couldn't over-stimulate Qin Jinxiu. Otherwise, if this guy went crazy, it would be hard to say how today's outcome would turn out.

  Qin Yiyao was reluctant to leave, and Mu Qingge could only hurry up and drive away Qin Jinxiao, so that the incense burner could be dealt with.

  With a flicker of her eyes, Mu Qingge muttered to herself: "Huh? I think I heard footsteps. Could it be that the Empress Dowager has brought people here?"

  Qin Jin's heart tightened, Mu Qing's words were piercing, but they had already calmed him down.

  He had his father, the Emperor, watching from the front and Rui Wang staring at him with piercing eyes from behind. He absolutely could not give anyone a handle to use against him. Suppressing the anger in his heart, Qin Jin finally let go of Bai Tuyet Nguyet and stood up.

  "Take good care of Ben Taizi, otherwise... humph." With a proud toss of this sentence, Qin Jinxiu left the side hall, afraid that if he was late for another step, he would be caught in the act.

  Qin Yijiao ran over to Bai Suoyue's side as soon as Qin Jinxu left, pulling down a piece of brocade and wrapping it around her body.

  Mu Qingge walked directly to the incense burner and snorted coldly, knocking it over onto the ground and trampling out the burning incense.

  After doing all this, Mu Qingge finally said to Qin Yiyao: "Try your best to help her deal with it." After that, he left the side hall and stood on the steps outside waiting.

  Before long, the queen led a large group of people over in a mighty sweep.

  From a distance, she saw Mu Qing standing outside the side hall and asked: "Mu Xiao Jue, why are you standing here? The palace heard that Bai Gongzhu was lost and people were sent to search for her everywhere."

  Mo Qingge sneered inwardly, probably this woman had rushed over in a flurry after hearing the news that her own son and Bai Suoyue had gone missing together.

  Those noblewomen who followed, were probably also unable to decline, and thus reluctantly came along.

  "I have found the princess, Your Majesty. It turns out that she had an accidental fall and is currently being taken care of by Princess Chang Le in a side hall of the temporary palace to treat her injuries and clean up the dirt on her clothes." Mu Qing Ge said calmly, without any hint of deception.

  Her answer relaxed the tense strings of the empress's heart. She revealed a faint smile, nodded and said: "It's good that you've found her. Since Chang Le is with you, I won't enter then. If there's anything needed, just instruct the palace maid."

  "Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Qing Ge said with a bow of her head.

  Afterwards, the queen glanced at the rear door of the secluded palace behind Mu Qing's back, which was tightly closed, and then led her people to leave in a grand manner.

  It wasn't until Queen and others disappeared from view that the door behind Mu Qing slowly opened.

  Qin Yiyao walked out and said to Mu Qingge, "Bai seems to have injured her ribs and can't move around. I'll order someone to bring the carriage, we'll leave now."

  Murong Qing nodded slightly in agreement with her arrangement.

  Jian Mu Qing Ge agreed, Qin Yi Yao then went down to arrange everything. This ice mountain princess seemed to gradually reveal a virtuous and gentle side.

  Before long, Princess Changle's carriage slowly entered the side hall.

  Qin Yiyao looked somewhat embarrassed as she said to Mu Qingge, "After all, Bai is a maiden waiting to be married, and my guards are afraid of touching her. The maids are also afraid that they might accidentally move her injured ribs."

  Mo Qing looked at her and asked after she finished speaking: "What do you want to do?"

  Qin Yiyao lightly bit her lip and lowered her eyes, saying: "You've grown up with her since childhood, why don't you carry her onto the horse carriage?"

  "You're quite kind."

  Qin Yiyao's face turned pale, and she fell silent. Deep down, she didn't want Mu Qingge to have close contact with Bai Suoyue either. However, Bai Suoyue's appearance also made her feel a pang of sympathy.

  Her silence made Mu Qingge sigh in his heart. He reached out and gently patted her cheek twice: "Having a kind heart is not bad, but you also need to distinguish between objects. Have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake?"

  Qin Yiyao dazedly shook her head.

  Mu Qingge curled her lip and said, "I'll tell you another day." After that, she entered the side hall.

  However, in fact, Qin Yiyao didn't notice what Mu Qingge said at all, but was only startled by his sudden intimate movements.

  By the time she came to, Mu Qing Ge had already carried Bai Suo Yue out and boarded the horse carriage.

  As she watched the two of them get into the carriage, a sour feeling rose up in Qin Yiyao's heart.

  Just as she was lost in thought, the red color belonging to Mu Qing's seductive appearance emerged from the carriage and shouted at her: "Not getting on yet, what are you waiting for?"

  Qin Yiyao's icy heart, under Mu Qingge's gaze, rippled with a hint of sweetness.

  She smiled brightly for the first time and boarded the carriage.

  The carriage slowly drove out of the royal hunting ground.

  It's unlikely that Bai Suoyue, who had come of her own accord, could have ever imagined that she would return to the Mu Manor in such a miserable state.

  The noble didn't even know him, yet almost got killed by the crown prince...

  Thinking of the danger in the side hall just now, Bai Suoyue's tears fell again.

  Ribs are injured and can only lie flat. Otherwise, if you move carelessly, you may suffer serious internal injuries.

  So more than half of the space in the carriage was given to Bai Suoyue who was lying flat.

  Fortunately, she had the strength of a mid-stage Huanjing cultivator, and such injuries could still be sustained. As long as she took good care of herself, there wouldn't be any major problems. This made her feel slightly more at ease.

  I thought I was done for this time, but unexpectedly, it was Mu Qingge who ended up saving me.

  This useless thing seems to be of some use after all.

  Bai Shaoyue lay in the carriage, recalling how Mu Qingge had spoken so eloquently in front of the terrifying Crown Prince, saving herself with just a few words. For some reason, she felt a flutter in her heart.

  An unusual commotion in the body, which had been neglected due to injury, seemed to be starting up again at this moment.

  Gradually, Bai Suoyue's pale face turned rosy and hot.

  It was just because she was lying down that the two people sitting on the other side didn't notice.

  "Light Song..." Bai Taixiu took up half of the carriage space, Qin Yiyao could only squeeze in on the other side with Mu Qingge.

  Hearing some trembling sounds coming from behind, Mu Qingge turned her head back.

  It was Qin Yiyao's eyes like water, delicate and beautiful appearance.

  "What's wrong?" Mu Qing Ge frowned and asked.

  "I... I don't know why, but my body feels so hot and my whole body is going soft." Qin Yiyao said in a delicate, mosquito-like voice. And in her icy cold voice as frosty as snow, there was actually a hint of flirtation.
