The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 693: To clear up past grudges

Although she was extremely unhappy, Xiao Yue couldn't suppress her curiosity and agreed to meet.

But this time she was careful and decided to meet in the Imperial Garden.

I thought that it was broad daylight and in front of everyone, and the other party had invited me first, so even if something went wrong, they would not blame me.

At the agreed time, when Xiao Yue appeared in the Imperial Garden, Murong Yu was already waiting there.

His charming and beautiful face made the entire spring imperial garden seem to be eclipsed by it.

Looking at Murong Yu, Xiao Yue was distracted for a moment, but soon she remembered the other party's plan for her, her face sank and she walked closer.

"The Ninth Prince arrived quite early."

"I have an appointment with the princess and I dare not delay."

Xiao Yue sneered, her eyes full of hostility, "Humph, it really sounds better than singing, but no matter what the Ninth Prince says now, this princess cannot believe it."

Murong Yu sighed, "Princess, why do you have to do this? I can't do anything about what happened before."

"I'm helpless?" Xiao Yue raised her voice. "It's obvious that you want to plot against me. Now you're pretending to be helpless in front of me. You're so shameless!"

If Jiang Suining and the others had not found a reason, he might have become infamous now, being despised, cursed and ridiculed by everyone.

It was a pity that she had sincerely wanted to discuss cooperation with Murong Yu before, but she didn't expect that the other party would plot against her. She was born with such a good appearance, but she used it all to deceive people!

The more Xiao Yue thought about it, the angrier she felt. Looking at Murong Yu, she really wanted to raise her hand and slap him twice.

But Murong Yu just acted as if nothing had happened. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Yue's angry face leisurely.

"The Fifth Princess is so angry. It seems that she is really disappointed in me."

The next moment, Murong Yu changed the subject and continued.

"But even though she was so angry and disappointed, the princess was still willing to accept the invitation to meet me. I was deeply touched."

"Do you have any shame?" Xiao Yue's face turned red with anger. "I just want to see what tricks you are going to play!"

"Heh..." Murong Yu smiled, "Princess, you can rest assured. This time, this prince is really sincere and will never play any tricks again."

"Do you think I will believe you?" Xiao Yue frowned.

"Princess, you can listen to what I say first, and then decide whether to believe it or not." Murong Yu looked up at Xiao Yue and motioned for her to sit down at the stone table beside him.

Xiao Yue hesitated for a moment, but still walked to the side of the stool, "Okay, I'll listen to what you want to say."

"Although the matter of the women's academy has not been fully implemented, it has become a hot topic in this imperial city, and many people are talking about it. The princess cares about the women of the world, which is really admirable."

"Forget about this kind of flattery. This princess is too lazy to listen. Just get to the point."

Murong Yu still had a smiling face. "Okay, let's get to the point. I guess the princess hopes to see the girls enrolled and the girls' academy officially opened."

"So what?" Xiao Yue frowned.

"If so, this prince can help the princess fulfill her wish."

"you?"

"That's right." Murong Yu nodded. "After all, those Xilin envoys followed me to Beiyang. I can decide when to leave. If the princess is willing, I can let them stay in the imperial city for a while longer."

Murong Yu stared straight into Xiao Yue's eyes, as if he could see through everything.

Xiao Yue felt a little uncomfortable with this look, and subconsciously avoided it. After thinking for a while, she said, "What are your conditions?"

"No conditions." Murong Yu shook his head.

"Do you think I will believe it?" Xiao Yue laughed mockingly again, looking at Murong Yu, "I was fooled by you before because I was not careful at the time, but if I still believe you now, then I am too stupid!"

"Princess, don't doubt it. What I said is indeed the truth. If you must give a reason, first of all, I was sorry for what happened before. After the marriage, you will be my father's concubine and an elder of my father. If possible, I naturally hope to make friends with you."

"That's not necessary. This princess doesn't want to be an elder." Xiao Yue's tone was full of gloom.

Murong Yu didn't say much, just smiled and continued, "As for the second point, this prince finally left Xilin, and I hope to stay in Beiyang Imperial City for a while to take a good breath. After all, if I return to Xilin, there will be endless calculations and government affairs, which is really tiring. If I stay a little longer, the princess will see the girl enroll in school with her own eyes. While doing the princess a favor, I can also take a rest. Why not?"

Xiao Yue stared at Murong Yu intently, trying to find any signs of lying on his face, but she didn't find any problems at all.

However, after what happened last time, Xiao Yue found it hard to trust Murong Yu so easily.

"You've said so much, so what exactly do you want me to do?"

"No." Murong Yu shook his head.

"No?" Xiao Yue still looked suspicious. "Are you sure? If there is really nothing that I need to do, then why do you have to say so much? Is it really just to make me grateful to you and not care about what happened before?"

"This prince really needs to make peace with the Fifth Princess, so I am naturally willing to make a trip for this purpose."

Murong Yu stood up, straightened his sleeves, and smiled warmly.

"Princess, now that we have made our point clear, I will take my leave and not disturb you any more. Next, just wait for the news from the posthouse."

Xiao Yue looked at Murong Yu with confusion and caution. Until he left completely, she still couldn't completely believe that Murong Yu came to the palace just to say these words to her.

However, if Murong Yu could really do what he said and allow the Xilin envoy to stay in the imperial city for a while longer, then it would have resolved her worries!

After returning to the palace, Xiao Yue specifically instructed people to pay attention to the news from the inn.

And early the next morning, news actually came from the inn where the Xilin envoy was staying.

It is said that Murong Yu suddenly caught a cold yesterday, the condition was serious and he has fallen ill!
