Descendant's Robe

  Baili Siqing's face was full of suspicion, "When did you become familiar with the young servant from the Mu Wangfu?"

  "We've met a few times." Shangguan Yue's response was somewhat perfunctory, and he casually plucked off the leafless twig from his palm. "Do we want to follow them and take a look?"

  Ba Li Si Qing Guo Duan Fou Ding, "Bu Qu!"

  Translation:

  "Absolutely not going!"

  Shangguan Yue turned her head and smiled at her, "Don't you feel curious?"

  Baili Siqing furrowed her brow, "Curious about what?"

  As they walked further, Shangguan Yue held the willow twig in her mouth and lazily said: "I smelled the scent of jade packages on him, so he must have just come out from Xiangjiang Building. But just now, we didn't see him from entering to leaving. Don't you think it's strange?"

  Baili Siqing didn't think so, "What's so strange about that? Maybe he was sitting in the crowd downstairs all along, you just didn't notice him."

  Shangguan Yue tugged at the hairband that had fallen around her neck, saying discontentedly: "Are you doubting your brother Yue's ability to remember everything he sees?"

  "Unless he stayed in the room all the time, it's impossible that he didn't see him. Going out alone and empty-handed...he might have met someone at Xiangjiang Building."

  Seeing Baili Siqing's expression becoming increasingly solemn, he suddenly smiled slyly, "It has been a long time since I last visited the Mu Wang Fu. Now that you have just returned to the capital, why don't we take advantage of today to pay our respects to Uncle Mu Wang?"

  Baili Siqing swept his paw away with a bad temper, "I think you're bored!"

  She had no dealings with the Mu Wang Fu since she was a child, let alone visiting without a reason.

  Shangguan Yue grasped her hand, his voice suddenly lowering, "I heard the imperial physician say that Moxi's illness seems to be getting more and more severe, it's extremely likely he won't make it past three months."

  Baili Siqing was taken aback by his words, but the image that flashed in her mind was very vague.

  Shangguan Yue spat out the willow twig on her lips, reached out to rub her head, "Don't think about it, I don't even remember what he looks like, let alone you!"

  He narrowed his eyes and murmured: "Mu Zi Yun seems to have not left the house for six years, right?"

  Baili Siqing did not open his hand this time, and he was shocked by what he had just said in his heart.

  Although she had rarely seen Mu Wangye, she also knew that the most talked-about thing in the entire Yanjing was that he had only married one wife in his life. Even after saving the emperor's life fifteen years ago and being brought back to Yanjing to be rewarded with a title, he did not take another queen.

  With this infatuation unwavering, no man in the capital can compare.

  Baili Siqing had always admired him. If the only son left behind by the late king's wife were to leave this world soon, it was easy to imagine how Crown Prince Mu would feel.

  "In the two years you were away, Mu Wang Shu had repeatedly suggested to Emperor Bo that he take Mu Shi Zi back into hiding, but Emperor Bo couldn't bear to let him leave the capital due to their old friendship and even sent the imperial physician to diagnose him every day, barely managing to keep him here."

  Baili Siqing's mind was filled with a hundred flavors at once, and she suddenly looked at Shangguan Yue with suspicion, "How did you know all this?"

  "This is something that everyone knows about, but only you never pay attention to it." Shangguan Yue smiled and said leisurely, "How about it? Want to go take a look together?"

  In his eager gaze, Baili Qingyi slowly lowered her head, lost in thought.

  While the two were discussing, that person walked around the wooden bridge over Cloud and Emerald Lake, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace. After seven or eight turns, he finally flashed into an inconspicuous back door.

  In a silent and soundless atmosphere, a gray shadow slowly passed through a certain place in the inner courtyard of Mu Wang Fu.

  A gentle breeze stirs the translucent and bright glazed tiles on the eaves, producing a crisp sound, with the soft lingering echoes slowly reverberating in the air, leaving behind only a few melodious sighs.

  A sliver of light crept in through the window gap, and a man dressed in luxurious attire sat quietly at his desk, his eyes fixed on the pale yellow paper in front of him. His tightly pursed lips added a hint of coldness to his warm features, and his narrow phoenix eyes were slightly closed, exuding an aura of commanding authority without uttering a word.

  The blue curtain drew across the desk, and the human figure was faintly visible, making the already almost imperceptible footsteps disappear into the dark shadows where the light could not reach.
