The man in black, whose face was covered by a black cloth, asked, "Fourth Master, the Sixth Prince has yet to return to the palace. Do you still need me to keep an eye on him day and night?"

Yan Muqing waved her hand, curling the corners of her lips into a smile, "Yan Yusheng is brazenly challenging me publicly for the first time since we were young. In fact, it's just a jade pendant, what kind of waves can he create?"

"But Fourth Master, that jade pendant is very important to you. That was carved by Imperial Concubine Jing herself when you were a child and was worn by Fourth Master for many years. The Sixth Prince has no reason to buy it, so if word spread out, it would be …"

"What are you afraid of?"

Yan Muqing turned around to look at the palace wall and said, "The jade pendant is after all just an emotionless item, it doesn't mean anything. If Sixth Brother likes it, you can gift it to him."

With that, Yan Muqing turned and left. At this moment, the black shadow had also disappeared from the walls of the palace. A cool breeze blew across the ground, causing a figure to suddenly appear from the side of the palace wall.

His figure stood upright. Beside him, a boy who was shorter than him frowned at the person beside him. "Sixth Brother, did you really get Fourth Brother's jade pendant? Is that Concubine Jing …"

"Xiao'er, you're still worried for that person even now? I think you know better than anyone how Jingfei treats your mother. "

Yan Yinian stared blankly at the empty palace wall as he spoke, "Xiao'er, didn't you say you were going to avenge your mother? Tomorrow is my royal father's day hunting in the west. At that time, you have to perform well and try your best to get my royal father to give you the title of prince in advance. Then, you won't have to rely on others in this deep palace with no one to rely on anymore. "

"Sixth Brother, what about you?"

Yan Yuan and Xiao Mu stood blankly beside Yan Yinian. The more they thought about it, the more they couldn't understand the relationship between Fourth and Sixth Brother.

But now, without anyone knowing, subtle changes had occurred between them. These changes were never conflicts between them, and it seemed as if some external involvement caused their relationship to no longer be the same as before.

Yan Yinian retracted his gaze and once again directed it at Yan Yuanxiao. Suddenly, he turned gentle.

"Xiao'er, Sixth Brother has his own matters to attend to, and Sixth Brother knows that you have a disposition that allows you to stay out of worldly affairs. Rest assured, Sixth Brother will definitely let you free as you wish."

The words that were about to come out of Yan Yuanxiao's mouth were swallowed back down. He had lived in the palace since he was young, and had seen too many people's indifference. He was just tired of it and wanted to escape.

That was why he had always had a wish. He wanted to become an idle prince, moving to a place far away from Li Jing to live a life that truly belonged to him.

"Thank you, Sixth Brother."

"This is what I should do. It's getting late. Let's go, let's go eat dinner with Sixth Brother."

Yan Yinian patted Yan Yuanxiao on the shoulder before turning around to leave. Yan Yuanxiao frowned as he had no idea what to do, so he could only follow behind.

Courtesan Belle.

Yan Muqing's footsteps were light and graceful. When she reached the entrance of the palace, she deliberately slowed down her pace. After taking a few deep breaths, she lifted her foot and stepped through the entrance.

"The fourth prince has returned!"

When the models next to Quiet And Steadfast saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. "Fourth Prince, the Empress has been waiting for a long time."

Yan Muqing laughed softly, "Thank you for your trouble, Aunt Pei."

"What the fourth prince has said is all a kind word. This old man is the Empress's maid. After so many years, she has long since become a family."

As Senior Servant Pei spoke, she led Yan Muqing through the door and into the hall. Seated on a chair, with her eyes closed, was a young and elegant woman with an outstanding temperament.

The woman had a beautiful figure, but her face was slightly sallow. When Yan Muqing, who just entered the door, saw her, she could not help but frown.

"Mufei."

Yan Muqing gently shook Jingfei awake. When Jingfei, who had just woken up, saw Yan Muqing for the first time, she was immediately overjoyed and wanted nothing more than to pull Yan Muqing into her arms.

However, due to her status, she could only endure it. Her eyes were filled with happiness as she pulled at Yan Muqing's hand. "Yan'er, good child. When did you return? Why have you gotten skinnier recently?"

Jing Fei's eyes were filled with grief as tears welled up in her eyes. Yan Muqing was not used to this kind of crying, so she hurriedly turned her head to look at the equally sorrowful Senior Servant Pei.

"How's the food in Huayi Palace these days? Has the palace's chef cooked well?"

"Reporting to Fourth Prince, Huayi Palace has always been very peaceful and peaceful, and the chef has done his duty. This old servant will personally supervise whatever Empress Jingfei wants to eat."

"Thank you."

Yan Muqing then looked at Jingfei, saying, "Tomorrow is the Western Expo. Imperial Consort, do you have the mood to go and take a look tomorrow? You can assume that you're out of your mind."

When Jingfei heard this, she was stunned. She then turned to look at Senior Servant Pei, as if there was something hard to say that she had already witnessed for herself.

"Mufei, if you don't like it, there's no need to go. I'll personally deliver some game to mufei tomorrow."

When Jingfei heard this, she quickly grabbed Yan Muqing's hand and asked, "Yan'er, will your father really go to the west yard tomorrow?"

"Naturally."

"Tomorrow, I'll go with your father first. Mufei will come later."

Yan Muqing continued to interrogate her about Jingfei's condition and stayed for dinner. The sky gradually darkened, and she left the palace after giving some instructions.

As soon as she opened the window to let in some fresh air, she was scolded by the soldiers standing guard outside. In order not to meet force with force, she had no choice but to close the window and wait for Yan Muqing's return.

Yan Muqing did not wait for his arrival, while Yue Ziyue did wait for the man who bought the jade pendant.

"It's you?"

When Yue Ziyue saw the man, she acted as if she had seen her savior. She asked in disbelief, "The security here is very tight, how did you get in?"

The man smirked and sat down on a chair to the side, not showing any trace of politeness. "Do you want to go out?"

Yue Ziyue's eyes widened as she asked, "Who doesn't want to go out if they can? What are your conditions? "

When Bie Yue Ziyue asked this question, the man's eyes lit up as if he hadn't expected the woman in front of him to ask such a question.

"I came today to take you out. As for the conditions, I do have one, but it's very simple."

The man then stood up and threw a bag to Yue Ziyue, saying, "Moreover, I guess you'll be very happy to meet this condition. As long as you don't ask for anything else and just follow me out, it'll be a worthwhile deal for you whether you agree or not."
