Since that day, the atmosphere among this group of people has become very strange.【&】

Mingyue was no longer as restrained as before, and for some reason, she could even feel Qin Susu's hostility.

Mingyue just thought it was because she was following him before, but now she was being courteous to Baili Cangming, which made him angry, but she didn't know the relationship between it.

The proprietress of Yuelai Restaurant prepared another carriage for them. As a result, Baili Cangming and Baili Canglian were in a carriage, Baili Canglian was driving, and Qin Susu was in a carriage with Mingyue.

This is outside, saying they don't care about their identity is a lie. After all, it is because of identity issues that they did not let Mingyue ride with them in a carriage.

Along the way, there was silence, and no one seemed to speak first.

Mingyue herself felt a little embarrassed, so she had to shut her mouth obediently and not say a word.

The carriage continued to move forward, and Qin Susu kept driving the carriage somewhat absentmindedly.

But unexpectedly, as the carriage moved forward, the wheels rolled over a stone.

With a "boom" sound, the carriage jolted violently, and the bright moon inside also fell to the side.

The back was hit hard to the side, and Ming Yue let out a low cry.

Baili Cangming, who was driving in front, heard the movement behind him and frowned slightly, then stopped the carriage.

"Brother Emperor, let me go and take a look."

After saying that, Wu Zi jumped off the carriage and walked directly to the back.

Lifting the car curtain, one could see that Ming Yue's face was pale, as if she was in pain.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Looking at Qin Susu, Baili Cangming said directly.

Qin Susu was slightly startled, but then the corner of her mouth turned into a mocking arc. On purpose? He was looking too high on her, right?! She, Qin Susu, really didn't need to do this!

Qin Susu felt powerless for a while, but she twitched the corner of her mouth, stopped paying attention to her, and just turned around.

Seeing her like this, a trace of anger flashed in Baili Cangming's eyes.

In his opinion, Qin Susu wanted to take revenge on him, so she deliberately went against him!

"Let's change, you go drive that carriage." Suddenly, Baili Cangming pointed to the carriage in front and said directly to Qin Susu.

Qin Susu pursed her lips, and then walked forward directly.

"Sir, how can Mingyue let you drive the carriage for me?" Mingyue's soft voice came from inside the car.

Baili Cangming glanced at her lightly, but when he saw her face, a trace of guilt flashed across his face. "Your injury was caused by me. No matter what, I have to take care of you along the way."

you."

Mingyue lowered her head, with a faint blush on her face.

The person in front of her was really full of charm. She had never seen a man with such temperament in Qinghe Town.

Thinking of how close she had been to him in the past few days, Mingyue's heart was filled with joy.

Because of the previous accident in Qinghe Town, and the growing quarrel between Baili Cangming and Qin Susu, they were no longer in the mood to travel and had no choice but to return to Kyoto.

When we arrived in Kyoto, the sky was gradually getting darker.

Outside the palace, Qin Susu stopped and looked behind her. Sure enough, she saw Mingyue opening the sedan curtain and looking at everything in front of her in surprise.

"Sir, what is this?" She whispered in surprise, even though she had already guessed it in her heart.

Baili Cangming looked at the carriage in front of him. When he saw that Qin Susu seemed to be going back to the palace with Baili Canglian, he said with some displeasure, "Miss Mingyue, you will stay here for the time being.

Let’s go to my king’s house.”

This king?

Mingyue's heart skipped a beat.

She knew that they were relatives of the emperor, but she didn't expect that he was directly the prince!

"Brother Emperor, I'm leaving." After saying that, he directly got into the carriage, turned around, and left.

Qin Susu froze on the spot, looking at the shadow of the carriage leaving.

He...really took that woman back?

"Let's go too." Baili Canglian knew everything that happened outside, so he just sighed lightly.

Qin Susu nodded, and then entered the palace directly without missing anyone.

She couldn't forget her purpose of coming to Kyoto this time. She was just to protect Baili Canglian, wasn't she? She couldn't be distracted by other things.

But...it seems that everything is completely different from what she originally expected!

…………

What common people like to do most is to talk about palace secrets before and after meals.

No, early the next morning, there were talkative people outside whispering. "Yesterday, a distant relative of my cousin's family saw with his own eyes that Prince Ming brought a woman back to his home——"

"Really? Is there such a thing?" As soon as these words came out, the people around him gathered around him with great interest.

"Ahem - who says it's not the case? I really don't know who misreported that Prince Ming had his sleeve cut off before. Now look, isn't this rumor self-defeating?"

Obviously, everyone is interested in these things.

Naturally, there was an explosion in Prince Ming's Mansion.

Some of the guards and nuns who had been working in Prince Ming's Mansion for many years were shocked when they saw the bright moon.

This bright moon is really carved in the same mold as Miss Shen back then.

In the side yard, Liu Meier was still playing with flowers and plants carelessly. It wasn't until a little girl sent a message that she stopped what she was doing.

"Really? Are they really similar?" Listening to the little girl's words, Liu Meier continued to trim the flowers and plants without making any pause.

So what if he looks similar to Shen Qinrou? The authorities are obsessed with it, but the onlookers know clearly. She certainly knows who Baili Cangming really has been in his heart these past few years.

"Really, Mrs. Liu, although you have lived here for many years and don't pay attention to outside things, you should have heard that the prince liked a woman before Qin Concubine." The little girl suddenly and mysteriously approached Liu.

Meier.

Liu Meier shook her head calmly and smiled bitterly.

"It's none of your business, go down first."

A large piece was cut off from a branch on one side. Liu Meier looked at the branch and murmured softly.

"It's a pity that you are not her after all..."

…………

"Ah, isn't this Miss Shen?" Mingyue was wandering around outside, followed by the two maids assigned to her by Baili Cangming.

Turning her head, she saw a ragged person standing not far away. Her hair was already in a mess, and the clothes on her body were also in tatters. There were only a few rags left, which could only cover her.

Thin body.

It seemed that only bones were left on her lean face, and her entire face was completely sunken, without any flesh. The most terrifying thing were her eyes.

Because he was extremely thin and his whole face was pitch black, in the end, only two black eyes protruded, which was very scary.

The pungent stench hit her nostrils, and coupled with the horrific scene before her, Ming Yue was so frightened that she took a few steps back. The two maids who were following her saw the man and quickly stepped forward to protect Ming Yue.

"You crazy woman, why don't you go away? Be careful of disturbing the guests of the palace." The maid scolded loudly.

When the man heard this, he grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and waved his hand gently.

"Hey, what does it matter if I'm a crazy woman? After all, I'm still an old man in this palace. When I was there, you didn't know where I was!" There was a bit of pride in his tone. As he said that, he stepped forward. Come on, Mingyue was so frightened that she stepped back, but then she heard the man continue to say, "Miss Shen, where have you been all these years?"

Miss Shen? Mingyue paused momentarily.

Ever since Mingyue came into the house last night, she had heard several surprised voices, and they all called her Miss Shen. She could even clearly remember that several maids looked at her face when they saw her. They all had surprised expressions.

Moreover, Baili Cangming seemed to have the same expression when he saw her...

Originally, she didn't take it too seriously, but now that she thought about it, Mingyue suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Do you know me?" Mingyue turned her eyes lightly and asked.

"Hey, Miss Shen, have you forgotten? In the past, you always called me Aunt Zhou."

The feeling in her heart became more and more strange, and Mingyue suddenly remembered the strange look in Baili Cangming's eyes at her in the past few days, as well as the looks in the eyes of other slaves.

"I...have been to this palace before?"

"Of course." Grandma Zhou continued to nod.

"I had a serious illness, and I can't remember anything afterwards." Mingyue said.

Hearing this, the man in ragged clothes and face covered with dust widened his eyes in shock, but then he nodded clearly, with a bit of regret in his tone.

"Oh, no wonder you don't recognize me anymore. But are you really sick? Weren't you killed by that little bitch Qin Susu?"

"Who is Qin Susu?"

When Qin Susu was mentioned, Grandma Zhou's face became ferocious.

If it weren't for Qin Susu, she would not have been demoted to the Huanyi Bureau by the prince. It was because of her deception to those maids before, so when she was demoted to the Huanyi Bureau, all the heavy and tiring work had to be done. They pushed it to her!

Come to think of it, the culprit is Qin Susu! Ever since Qin Susu came, she, Aunt Zhou, has never had a good life!

"That little bitch, the little bitch who makes me want to peel off her skin!" Grandma Zhou said through gritted teeth, with uncontrollable hatred in her words.

Mingyue wanted to ask more questions, but the two maids behind her suddenly came forward and said, "Girl, this old woman is a lunatic in our house. Girl, it's better not to listen to her nonsense and go back to dyeing." If you have bad luck, it will be really bad."

Looking at their faces, Mingyue hesitated to speak, then nodded.

Now she is well-behaved and obedient. She must leave a very good impression on Baili Cangming.

These things will be clarified gradually in the future, there is no rush.

Under the guidance of the two maids, Mingyue continued to wander outside.

After doing this activity for a few times, her complexion really improved a lot. The two maids looked at her, feeling happy in their hearts. They really didn't dare to be careless about someone who could be brought back by the prince himself.
