Mu Ling glared fiercely at Mu Bingyue. The killing intent and hatred in her eyes were obvious.

Thinking about it, she would surely not let Mu Bingyue off lightly this time!

Mu Bingyue didn't say a word. She only lowered her head slightly, looking as if she had a submissive gaze. It seemed that everyone around her thought that she was afraid.

"She's dead for sure, that Mu Bingyue is too unlucky …"

"That's right, Fourth Miss is the daughter-in-law of the empress. Mu Bingyue is cheating, the empress definitely won't let her off!"

Mu Bingyue listened to these voices and remembered everything they said.

Was she the candidate for the empress's daughter-in-law? On the other hand, MuKui Xu was quite shrewd. He wanted Mu Ling to join his faction and marry Prince Qingling to one of his other daughters. This way, he would not offend anyone and would not make any mistakes!

The current situation took the form of the crown prince being of high birth and the queen's mother being of great influence. Within the imperial court, the crown prince's words and support were without a doubt.

However, Prince Qingling's achievements were high, his talent in magic was the best in the past three hundred years, and he had a lot of prestige among the people at the border and among the commoners.

So, on the surface, the Crown Prince was the son of the empress, but in the open or in secret, many people said that Prince Qingling would become the first person in history to overthrow his son and become the emperor's concubine!

As for the Mu Family, this kind of martial general's family that was loyal to the emperor, they were even more lustful of power and power right now.

What a smart plan.

At the entrance of the pavilion, a pair of pearl shoes embroidered with brocade slowly walked in. Mu Bingyue gathered her thoughts and put on a frightened expression. She bowed to the crowd one by one and said, "Greetings, esteemed empress!"

There was no response. The pair of expensive shoes moved gracefully and sat down on an empty tea table in the pavilion. Eight palace maids entered with them, some of them placed cushions on the stone bench, some of them cleaned the table, some of them placed silk tablecloths on top, and some of them even released censers, round fans, and other personal belongings.

Looking at this scene, Mu Bingyue was slightly surprised. The empress had quite a bit of dignity and care. She didn't know that she was doing this to show off to all the girls here. Her daily life was indeed luxurious.

"All of you, get up. This is outside the palace, so there is no need to be so polite." The empress raised her hand slightly, her voice carrying both dignity and respect.

Mu Bingyue thought to herself, 'What a big show of power'. It was quite a while before she woke everyone up, and she even said there was no need to be polite. It was really funny.

Mu Bingyue raised her head and looked at the Queen quickly before lowering her head without saying a word.

The empress's appearance could not be considered beautiful, but her entire being was noble and graceful with an extraordinary bearing. It seemed that she was not a simple character, and it was unknown … How was she going to vent her anger on her future daughter-in-law?

The empress's phoenix eyes swept across the crowd before landing on Mu Ling's face. She looked at Mu Ling's hands that were hanging lifelessly, as if she had suddenly thought of something. She covered her mouth and asked, "Ling'er, what's wrong?"

"Empress, Fourth Sister has been injured by someone. You have to stand up for Fourth Sister!" Ninth Miss hurriedly stepped forward as she spoke. Her eyes constantly drifted toward Mu Bingyue. Her actions were obvious.

"Who injured him? The election has not even begun, so how could someone have already made a move? " The empress gave a cold snort as she swept her eyes over the crowd once more.

"Reporting to the Empress, it's this person, Fourth Miss's sister. She's severely injured Fourth Miss!" Immediately, someone pointed at Mu Bingyue and said, "She's ruthless. She was just playing tricks in that match!"
