Mu Fei Xin was sure that Princess Hu planned something for Nan Hua when she heard Princess Hu's sentences. She could still remember the day in the Hai City when she was on despair.
It was Nan Family's existences who helped her to get out of her predicament.
How could she possibly let Princess Hu schemed against the young girl who was also present on that place that day?
She owed her life to Nan Family.
"You don't have to, Imperial Sister Hu. I'm sure the doctors told you not to overexert yourself, right?" Mu Fei Xin's gaze was cold. Even though she still retained the basic courtesy, her tone was no longer as kind as before.
Princess Hu furrowed her eyebrows because she felt that there was something wrong with the way Princess Mu Fei Xin spoke to her. She looked at the princess before her in confusion. From what she knew, Princess Mu Fei Xin had never interacted with Nan Hua before.
Was Mu Fei Xin such a righteous person?
That was impossible. If she was such a person who liked to meddle in other's business, she would have long died in the palace.
"This is nothing much." Princess Hu smiled while her gaze turned strange.
Mu Fei Xin no longer tried to dissuade Princess Hu. She simply walked in the direction where Nan Hua went with the servant just now. In any case, the most important matter was to catch up to Nan Hua as soon as possible.
But as she entered the stone path, Mu Fei Xin paused. There were several empty quarters that could be used to change clothes since they were mostly empty. She was not sure which one the servant of Princess Hu brought Nan Hua to.
"Imperial Sister, do you know which direction she went?" Princess Mu Fei Xin turned around and asked.
Princess Hu blinked her eyes. She was glad that Nan Hua disappeared before asking the servant where they would bring her. This would make it easier to trick Mu Fei Xin in front of her.
"I'm not too sure about that." Princess Hu put on a troubled expression.
Princess Mu Fei Xin was on the verge of losing her patience when she noticed Prince Yang Lu coming from one direction. Her eyes lit up and she quickly strode towards her husband. Of course, she was still minding her steps.
"Xin'er?" Prince Yang Lu asked in surprise. He didn't expect to see his wife coming to approach him like this.
"Yang Lu, have you seen anyone on your path coming here?" Princess Mu Fei Xin was not really polite to ask him directly. But the two of them were already married for years despite being simply living in the same house because of the elders' arrangement, so they were already used to each other's presence.
Speaking a bit informally from time to time was common for them.
"There's no one." Prince Yang Lu looked at his wife and his eyes narrowed. To think that the usually composed Mu Fei Xin would lose her composure like this. Who was the person she was looking for?
"Who are you looking, Xin'er?"
"I'm looking for First Young Miss Nan." Mu Fei Xin looked at the stone path. If it was not heading towards the inner palace where Prince Yang Lu was coming from, was it towards the outer palace?
First Young Miss Nan.
