Chapter 184 Things are going to change
Ruan Yun'er was in a state of confusion. She glanced at the child who was sleeping soundly on the bed, clenched her fists, and her finger knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
She slammed her clenched fist down on the table with a thud, and said angrily, "Damn it!"
"Sister-in-law, I know very well how hard you work as a mother. For now, please be patient for a while. I will make sure those evil people get the retribution they deserve!" Mu Lanfeng said with certainty.
Ruan Yun'er nodded and was about to speak when she was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.
"Young Madam, Miss Hongyin is here to tell you that she wants to see Miss Five regarding something important." Ningshuang reported respectfully outside the door.
Although her voice was not loud, it was clearly heard in the room, with a hint of urgency.
"Sister-in-law, you must take good care of Chen'er. I'll go back first. If there is anything important, you can send someone to Ziyunxuan to find me. Remember, don't act rashly!" Mu Lanfeng stood up and warned solemnly.
"Yeah!" Ruan Yun'er nodded and watched Mu Lanfeng leave.
Mu Lanfeng had just stepped out of the room when he looked up and saw Hong Yin pacing anxiously outside the door.
She looked anxious and walked hurriedly, as if she had something extremely urgent to do!
Seeing Mu Lanfeng coming out, Hong Yin hurried forward. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by a look from Mu Lanfeng.
There was a hint of vigilance in Mu Lanfeng's eyes. Hong Yin understood what he meant and immediately shut up.
It was not until they walked out of Fengqing Pavilion and came to a relatively secluded place that Mu Lanfeng slowly asked, "Why are you so flustered?"
"Someone has come from the palace, telling the girl to go to the palace according to the order." Hongyin said with a worried look on her face.
"Who came to convey the order? Was it Eunuch Xia?" Mu Lanfeng couldn't help but ask.
Hong Yin shook her head and answered truthfully, "No, young lady, the person who delivered the decree looked very unfamiliar to me. I have never seen him before."
Her face was full of doubt and her eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness.
"Never seen it?" Mu Lanfeng's face was also full of doubts.
Why did the emperor want her to enter the palace by order?
Could it be that he is treating another lady in the palace?
There are imperial doctors in the palace to treat common illnesses, so how could they come to her?
Mu Lanfeng thought hard but couldn't figure out the reason. Now he thought that only by meeting the person who came to convey the order could he solve his doubts.
In the past, whenever there were matters concerning the palace, it was always Eunuch Xia who came to convey the imperial edict, but why did he suddenly change the person this time?
This is really hard to understand!
Mu Lanfeng stopped suddenly.
Hong Yin didn't understand what was going on, and asked in confusion, "Girl, what happened? Why did you suddenly stop moving?"
Mu Lanfeng's expression instantly became extremely serious, and he said in a solemn tone: "Hongyin, don't go back to Ziyunxuan yet. You have to go to Prince Yan's Mansion to find Prince Yan. Remember, be quick! After you find Prince Yan, tell him to meet me at the palace gate. If you can't see Prince Yan, then don't stay for a moment, and immediately go to find Sanniang and let her know the current situation. Do you understand?"
Hong Yin was completely confused and had no idea what Mu Lanfeng's intention was behind this arrangement.
Seeing her serious expression, although he was full of doubts, he did not dare to ask any more questions. He could only bow his head and whispered, "Yes, girl!"
Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Mu Lanfeng stopped him, "Wait, don't go through the main entrance, the more hidden the better, and always be careful to see if anyone is following you along the way!"
Hong Yin hurriedly stopped, looked at Mu Lanfeng nervously, and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, girl, I will be careful!"
Mu Lanfeng thought for a moment, and then warned: "This matter is of great importance, you must be careful. If you really find someone following you, don't panic, find a way to get rid of them!"
"I understand!" Hong Yin said, and turned and left.
Mu Lanfeng raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Ziyunxuan, then stepped forward resolutely.
No matter what lies ahead, whether it is a sea of fire or a mountain of swords, you must give it a try!
I just hope that things are not as bad as I worry about or think!
As we arrived at the door of Ziyunxuan, the atmosphere around us seemed particularly depressing. It was quiet all around, without any sound being heard.
There were four men in guard uniforms standing upright outside the door, with no expression on their faces. They just stood there silently at the door, like sculptures, which made people feel a little scared.
Mu Lanfeng looked calm and composed as he walked slowly and leisurely into the gate of Ziyunxuan.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw a man who looked like a eunuch standing there.
He looked like a young man, but his posture was calm and steady which did not match his age. He was not tall, but stood very straight, and his eunuch's clothes were neatly worn without any wrinkles.
Looking at his face again, it was as cold as frost, and there was not a trace of blood on his pale face, as if he had never seen the sun all year round.
A pair of slender eyes were slightly narrowed, and the pupils were deep but revealed an elusive coldness, as if they could see through people's hearts, making people dare not look at them.
Under the high nose bridge, the lips were tightly pursed, with no curve at the corners of the mouth, as if he would never smile.
He held a whisk in his arms, the white fur of the whisk swaying gently in the breeze, but it did not add any sense of gentleness to him.
He just stood there quietly, expressionless, emitting a cold aura that kept strangers away, as if the air could freeze into ice wherever he was.
Mu Lanfeng was secretly alert in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
She raised her eyes slightly, and looked at the eunuch with calm eyes, and then spoke first without being humble or arrogant: "I wonder what this eunuch is doing here? This Ziyunxuan rarely has such a scene in the past."
After saying this, the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile, as if the cold and depressing atmosphere in front of her could not affect her in the slightest.
After hearing this, the eunuch slowly looked Mu Lanfeng up and down, his eyes still showing coldness. He snorted coldly and said, "I am here to invite the fifth lady to the palace in compliance with the imperial decree. Don't ask any more questions, just follow me!"
Mu Lanfeng's heart tightened, but she still smiled and replied: "Since you have received the order, I will obey it. I just hope you can be a little flexible and tell me what it is, so that I can have a clear idea in my mind and not let me be so confused. Don't you think this is reasonable, eunuch?"
As she spoke, she looked straight at the eunuch, without any intention of retreating.
The eunuch seemed to have not expected Mu Lanfeng to respond so calmly. He was slightly stunned, then frowned even more tightly, and said impatiently: "I am only here to invite the Fifth Lady in accordance with the order of the Emperor. I know nothing else. Don't talk too much and follow me quickly. If you are late and make His Majesty unhappy, you can't afford it!"
Mu Lanfeng thought to himself that today's matter seemed to be very tricky, and he could only take it one step at a time.
She took a deep breath, but the smile on her face remained the same. She bowed slightly and said, "In that case, I won't ask any more questions. I will rely on your guidance. I hope you will take good care of me!"
After saying that, he calmly followed the eunuch, but his eyes were always paying attention to the movements around him, ready to deal with any possible changes at any time.
Mu Lanfeng felt that the eunuch in front of him looked familiar, as if he had met him briefly somewhere. However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"May I know your last name, father-in-law?" Mu Lanfeng asked calmly.
The gaze seemed casual, but in fact he was secretly sizing up the other person.
When the eunuch heard Mu Lanfeng's question, he didn't even raise his eyelids. He still had that frosty look on his face and snorted coldly.
The voice seemed to come from an ice cellar, with a bone-chilling chill: "My last name is Chen!"
After saying that, his cold gaze shot towards Mu Lanfeng like a sharp arrow, full of undisguised hostility and vigilance.
He hugged the whisk tightly in his arms, as if he was using it as some kind of weapon of demonstration. His fingers were tightly gripping the handle of the whisk, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force.
The face, which had originally been pale to begin with, was now as white as paper. Only the tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing some emotion in his heart, perhaps it was boredom, or perhaps it was a deeper disgust, as if Mu Lanfeng's existence was an offense to him.
