I just want to live a good life

Chapter 284: What is the progress?

It was a good thing to have someone stand up for you, but Su Nuan thought about it and refused.

It is an indisputable fact that Dong Jingshu has become the prince's concubine. Whether Mu Yunting admits it or not, he has already formed a bond with the Dong family.

If I let Mu Yunting cause trouble for Marquis Zhongyuan again and again, then in the eyes of outsiders, it would be like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was helping one concubine to bully another.

And she, Su Nuan, is just a concubine who relies on her favor for her own good. Her existence will always depend on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If Xun Zheng returns one day, she will be reduced to her original form and become a loser in the fight for favor, and the bullied concubine.

"Your Highness, why would you need to intervene in such a small matter? I can get it back myself."

Mu Yunting looked up and exchanged glances with Su Nuan for a moment, then he sighed helplessly and said, "Keep the badge I gave you. All officials above the fourth rank in the imperial city can recognize it. If you run into any trouble, take it out and use it. Remember, that badge is only ineffective against my father. You must never use it in front of him."

Su Nuan was still worried that Mu Yunting would take the imperial gold medal with him when he went out to do business. When she heard that the gold medal would be kept for her, she was immediately delighted. With this imperial gold medal, she could almost walk around the imperial city with her own way.

Of course, when she had this thought, she didn't know that she had been targeted by the emperor.

That night, the two people who were about to be separated for a short time were extremely affectionate.

When Su Nuan woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

Chunliu brought some clean water and Meixiang helped her comb her hair.

The two looked at each other from time to time and smiled.

Su Nuan saw their actions in the mirror, and her pretty face immediately turned red.

At the same time, on a forest path outside Fenglin Town, a group of eight people were sitting on the ground to rest. The leader was exchanging his dark brocade clothes for the grey brocade clothes of his subordinates.

Both pieces are brocade clothes. The black one is the top-grade brocade, and the grey one is just ordinary.

The two people who changed clothes were Mu Yunting and Lie Feng.

Everyone kept a low profile today. Mu Yunting wore plain brocade clothes, and the secret guards wore grey cotton coats, but Liefeng's clothes were made of different material than the others.

Originally, this was nothing. At most, Liefeng was regarded as the leader of a group of guards.

But during the break, Mu Yunting accidentally heard that Liefeng's clothes were given by Concubine Xia. He immediately remembered the pile of clothes that Chunliu and Bitao were holding when Xia Qingyan came back from outside that day.

At that time, he thought that Xia Qingyan only bought those clothes for the maids, so they didn't think much about it. But now, when he heard that she bought clothes for Lieying and Liefeng that day but didn't get any for himself, he felt jealous.

The faster I put on Liefeng's clothes, the more uncomfortable they became. Now that I have put them on myself, I feel relieved.

Liefeng was holding the Crown Prince's garment, which was made of expensive material and had faint patterns on the collar and cuffs.

Even if he had ten more courage, he would not dare to wear this dress. But seeing that his clothes were already worn by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Liefeng took out an old piece of clothes from his bag with a sad face and put them on. He then carefully folded the Crown Prince's clothes and put them back into the bag.

I really should have listened to Falcon and worn some old clothes when I went out today.

Liefeng's disadvantage was that he did not understand the Crown Prince's feelings for Concubine Xia as well as Falcon did, and the reason why Falcon knew so well was because he drove the carriage for Concubine Xia.

Just like now, Falcon was driving the carriage taking Concubine Xia to see Doctor Liao.

This morning, a little medicine boy came to the Prince's Mansion to deliver an invitation, and the word "Liao" was written on the signature of the invitation.

Because Concubine Xia had mentioned a girl named Liao to Butler Ding yesterday, the doorman didn't dare to be perfunctory when he received the invitation and delivered it to Butler Ding first. Butler Ding was not sure whether it was from the girl that Concubine Xia mentioned, so he personally delivered the invitation to Su Nuan.

This invitation was sent by Liao Xinyi, inviting Su Nuan to meet.

Falcon drove the carriage to Tianxiang Tower.

Liao Xinyi still remembered that Su Nuan had once said that she would invite her to Tianxiang Tower for dinner when she came to the imperial city, so she decided to meet there.

When Su Nuan arrived, there were only Liao Xinyi and her little medicine boy and apprentice Danggui in the private room.

"You really make me anxious."

As soon as they met, Su Nuan started complaining.

You can't blame her for complaining. After Leng Yue entered the Prince's Mansion yesterday, Su Nuan sent someone to inquire about Liao Xinyi's whereabouts, but the person who came back told her that there was no woman with the surname Liao in Prince Guang'an's team entering the city.

"I thought that bad guy Prince Guang'an had done something to you. If I hadn't received your invitation, I would have gone to Prince Guang'an's villa to settle the score with him."

Liao Xinyi smiled secretly, "A woman like me would never be in the eyes of Prince Guang'an."

Su Nuan was not convinced. In terms of appearance, Liao Xinyi could be called a beauty. She was gentle and elegant. If flowers were used to describe women, then Liao Xinyi would definitely be an orchid in the valley.

Liao Xinyi glanced at Chunliu and Falcon beside Su Nuan, as if asking a question. Su Nuan immediately understood that she had something to say to him, so she ordered the two to guard the door and not let anyone in.

Danggui was also sent out by Liao Xinyi.

"Tell me, did something extraordinary happen on the road?"

Su Nuan asked anxiously with a gossipy gleam in her eyes.

"You are really smart. I didn't say anything, but you knew something big had happened. So guess what it was?"

Liao Xinyi deliberately kept the secret.

Su Nuan was not angry. She thought seriously for a moment and analyzed, "You told me this only after you sent people away, which proves that this matter is a private matter. After I left, you traveled with Prince Guang'an and his wife, so this private matter must be about these two people. Could it be that Prince Guang'an is impotent?"

Liao Xinyi spat out a mouthful of tea, choking her and causing her to cough violently.

"I guessed right, didn't I? How did you find out?"

Su Nuan said as she patted Liao Xinyi on the back.

Liao Xinyi coughed for a long time, and finally took a breath, and said angrily: "You are really good at thinking, how could I find out about such a thing!"

"It's not, so why are you so excited? Let me guess again."

"Okay, stop guessing. I'll tell you directly, is it Prince Guang'an and Miss Lengyue who are together, or is it Princess Guang'an who intentionally brought them together?"

Seeing that Su Nuan didn't react, Liao Xinyi asked, "You don't seem surprised at all?"

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't surprised at all, but this is also to be expected.

Prince Guang'an is a man of little substance. He is Xun Zheng's bootlicker only for her looks. Leng Yue looks 80% like Xun Zheng, so Prince Guang'an naturally cannot resist her.

But she was a little surprised that Leng Yue was involved with Prince Guang'an.

Could it be that Leng Yue is also because of Xun Zheng?

"What are you thinking?"

Su Nuan chuckled and replied, "I'm wondering how far they have progressed."
