Yuancheng Emperor looked at woman with exquisite makeup at his feet and smashed the pile of reports from integration to her face.

At the shore of koi pond, Mu Xi Yao leaned against the railing and sprinkled food into water.

“Mistress, madam sent a letter. The proper arrangements have been made about household servants you asked for. Does mistress wish to receive them and teach them etiquette?”

“Can you stand?” Zhong Zheng Ming looked at the woman who was draped over him while clutching his front lapels  and asked softly. 

Mu Xi Yao slowly used the soup without batting an eyelid. Who had said that each woman of the inner yard had her own a story? It was indeed accurate. 

Qie pays respect to great uncle and great-aunt-in-law.” Mu Xi Yao followed Zhong Zheng Lin’s suit and respectfully bowed. 

“All right, all right. You needn’t bother with all these rules.” 

Mu Xi Yao was supported by Zhao momo, falling three steps behind consort Shu.

The Director of Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar frowned deeply. Yet, he couldn’t not answer, “Her Highness Hu Guo Princess Royal.” 

“How is it wrong? Do not hesitate to speak out, imperial uncle.” Seeing the grand prince of Yi’s hesitation, Yuancheng Emperor immediately smelt a rat in the matter. 

The trial of consort Liu’s unconsciousness has not yet begun, the rumors already began to spring up everywhere in Shengjing. All the attacks were pointed at the sixth Highness’s cefei, lady Mu. It was said that she afflicted her husband’s and son’s fortune, lacked blessing and was destined to die young. What’s more, her bad fortune will affect her clan and even bring disaster to the nation!

Consort Shu watched Mu Xi Yao who was being helped up by people in a daze. Her expression looked complicated. This girl was smart. Hence, how could she not discern that this was an already set up trap? Yet, she still put her own life on the stake, insisting on taking the big risk. However, how did she want to redress an injustice for one’s fate? It is vague and intangible and relied on the Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar’s deduction. Since Director of Astronomy and Calendar has already made a conclusion, who had capabilities to retort him?
