Chapter 640

The banquets in the palace continued without end, and only on the sixth day of the first month did Mu Yunyao have the time to leave the palace.
The Nebula Market had been open since morning, and new year's worth of guests had already arrived.
Mu Yunyao directly went upstairs from the back door, which didn't attract anyone's attention.
He was waiting in his room early in the morning. When he saw her, he hurriedly greeted her, "Your subordinate greets Master."
"There's no need to be so polite. How's the situation with the other team members?" Even though Wei Jiu was helping to deliver the news at any time, he didn't feel reassured hearing it for himself.
"Reporting to my lord, all is well at the moment. We also received news that His Highness Prince Jin has begun to contact the people of the northern border. The letter sent by my lord has already taken effect."
When he read the contents of the letter, he felt that it was a little inappropriate. After all, such a letter seemed to be too child's play, and Prince Jin was a shrewd person. He would never believe it.
Mu Yunyao nodded her head, "I have to be extra careful when telling Qi Ming and Qi Ming. If they find anything wrong with Prince Jin and he leaves his side in time, Prince Jin will be the one with the deepest thoughts. He will think everything through, so he might do something about it …" She had been by his side for many years, studying his thoughts and slowly coming to a conclusion. He was too confident in his ability, so if he was extremely thorough in his planning, then he might suspect that there was a trick to it. Contrary to what he expected, the letter she had sent over was full of loopholes.
He wasn't sure. As long as he wasn't sure, he would think it over and over again, and gradually, he would be able to pay more attention to it.
As Mu Yunyao spoke, she noticed that the two taels of silver were somewhat absent-minded, so she couldn't help but ask, "Six taels, what's wrong with you?"
He clenched his fist tightly and raised his head to look at Mu Yunyao. A trace of struggle flashed through his empty eyes. After a long while, he suddenly knelt down. "Master …"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Mu Yunyao looked over and saw Jin Lan hurrying over: "Miss, the Northern Frontier Princess has come. She seems to know that Miss is currently upstairs and wants me to come report to her. She wants to ask Miss why her Royal Brother is being held."
Mu Yunyao was stunned. "Brother Wang? Are you sure you didn't mishear me? "
Jin Lan shook her head. "When this servant heard it just now, I also felt that it was inconceivable. I even specifically confirmed it with the princess of the Northern Frontier that she was indeed talking about Brother Wang."
His face was pale, and his eyes could not help but tremble. "Master, the 'Royal Brother' Helian Li mentioned is referring to me."
When these words left her mouth, Mu Yunyao abruptly turned her head and stood up. She was completely shocked in her heart. "Are you from the Royal family of the Northern Frontier?"
"Please punish me, Master."
Jin Lan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She walked up to Mu Yunyao's side and held her arm. "Miss …"
Mu Yunyao's brows tightly knitted. After she had seen just how extraordinary six taels of silver was, she had secretly guessed at the identity of this person, but no matter how brazen she had guessed, she hadn't expected that six taels of silver was actually a Royal family of the Northern Frontier. "Since you're a Royal, how could you be reduced to a slave?" Because of my beautiful appearance, I was presented to the Northern Frontier King. After I was pregnant and was given to a meritorious Northern Frontier General, I was humiliated to death. I grew up as a slave in the Northern Frontier King's palace.
The general who had humiliated my mother was imprisoned in the Tiger Prison and was lucky enough to escape to the imperial court. Because of his heavy injuries, he was sold to the Fang family, and then he met his master. " His face became even paler as he lowered his head. He understood what people in the Da Lei Dynasty often said. If it wasn't our tribe, then it had to be. Moreover, he treated his background as a humiliation and wasn't willing to easily mention it. He had imagined that his identity would be exposed many times, but he had never expected that he would be in such a sorry state …
In a hurry.
The room was abnormally quiet. Seeing Mu Yunyao's serious expression, Jin Lan pursed her lips and lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.
He pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and pointed it at his chest, "Rest assured Master, your subordinate will not implicate you."
Mu Yunyao's forehead tightened even more as a rare look of anger appeared on her face, "Six liang, do you still have a master like me in your eyes?"
His heart trembled as he looked at Mu Yunyao's eyes that were filled with rage. He felt a chill in his heart, and his entire body was slowly sealed in ice.
"Mistress …"
Mu Yunyao took a deep breath and strode forward to grab the dagger from her hands. After a few moments of restraint, she suppressed the anger in her heart, "Get up and stand at the side without saying anything. Jinlan, go down and tell the princess that there's a clamor below. Princess, please come up to speak."
"Yes."
Soon enough, the Northern Princess followed Jin Lan. When she saw the size of six, her eyes flashed with a strong light. "Sixth Brother, long time no see. Are you alright?"
A pair of cold eyes swept over Helian Lo. There was not the slightest fluctuation in their eyes. This princess' face was like a flower in spring, but her heart was like a scorpion's. The number of siblings that had died at her hands over the years was not small.
Mu Yunyao looked at Jin Lan. "Jin Lan, the guests are here. Why aren't you pouring tea?"
"Yes, this servant will go now."
Helian Loulan looked at Mu Yunyao as light circulated in her eyes, "Princess Wen Xian is very polite. This Sixth Brother of mine is a gloomy and depressed person who doesn't like to bother with people. It must have taken a lot of effort for the princess to keep her by her side, right?"
Two years ago, she had already sent people to investigate the whereabouts of 6 taels of silver. However, even after searching the entire northern border, they were still unable to find anyone.
"Princess, to be able to find me here so quickly, you must have put in a lot of effort. If there are people who wish to speak, please do not beat around the bush. Princess, if there is anything you wish to say, just say it."
Helian Li took off her veil, revealing a face that could charm the hearts of men. "Princess, these words were said very strangely. I am only expressing my gratitude to you for taking care of my Sixth Brother for such a long time.
Mu Yunyao looked at Helian Li with a smile that was not a smile. She then looked at Jin Lan carrying the teacup and gently sipped on it, "Since the princess has nothing else to say, then let's have a pint of my Dali tea, Six An melon slices, and most concentrated. Do you like it if the princess has a taste?"
"Thank you, Princess Wen Xian. However, people are relatives at home, and the moon is bright at home. No matter how delicious the tea leaves are at this time of the year, people would never miss their hometown."
"I prefer the phrase 'do as the Romans do'. After all, people always look forward."
Jin Lan stood at the side, holding her breath. Although her young miss and the princess from the Northern Frontier had not spoken much, the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense. It was as if a blade and sword had flashed past them. Her movements were especially elegant, bringing along a natural and beautiful feeling. It could be seen that she was extremely clear about the etiquette and rules of the imperial court.
