702 Prince Yang Lu and Princess Mu Fei Xin’s Attitude

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.

<Note: Prince Yang Lu is younger than Emperor Yang Zhou. He's the second prince before Yang Zhou become the Emperor. Naturally, Mu Fei Xin is even younger. She's 1-2 years older than Nan Hua>

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.

Almost instantly, Prince Yang Lu could remember the incident back then. He could remember very clearly that it was the two child from Nan Family and Feng Family who helped them. Not to mention, the shadow guard from the Nan Family.

Even if they did it to save themselves too, it would not change the fact that those people helped to save their lives. Prince Yang Lu would not allow them to harmed in his presence either.

"Let's head to the other path. Would you like to tell me why you're looking for First Young Miss Nan?" Prince Yang Lu asked as he walked. He gave a short greeting towards Princess Hu but then ignored her. His relationship with his half-sisters in the palaces was not very good, so he didn't bother with them that much.

Besides, would they still want to maintain relationship with a rather useless prince like him?

Mu Fei Xin explained what had happened in short sentences while Princess Hu followed from behind. She was looking at the pair in front of her in confusion because she could not understand why these two would want to look for Nan Hua that much.

When did they meet Nan Hua before?

'I don't recall hearing them coming to Wind City either.'

The news that floated around was that Nan Hua stayed in Wind City with her aunt because of the condition of Nan Shu Cheng's Household. It had become a joke in the Capital City for a long time and many people knew about this matter.

But Princess Hu had never heard of Prince Yang Lu and Mu Fei Xin visited Wind City before.

All she knew was that these two lived in the Capital City for a long period of time and then stayed in Hai City for some time, which was also because of that incident. There was no way the two of them crossed path with Nan Hua, right?

While Princess Hu was mulling, they had reached one of the quarter.

"Check inside whether First Young Miss Nan is here." Mu Fei Xin looked at her maidservants and gave instruction.

The maidservants quickly obeyed and entered the inner compound. Some of them who followed Mu Fei Xin to Hai City knew the real reason but the others simply followed her order when she gave one.

Prince Yang Lu rubbed his forehead. He sneaked a glance at Princess Hu and sighed internally. Who would have thought that this brainless woman would actually try to scheme against First Young Miss Nan in the palace at such important day?

How annoying.

Princess Hu calculated the time internally and curtsied. "Imperial Brother Lu, Imperial Sister Mu, I'll return to my palace first. It seems that walking around might be a bit too much for me."

Using her health as excuse?

Mu Fei Xin laughed coldly internally but her expression only showed genuine concern. "In that case, Imperial Sister had to rest. We wouldn't want anything to happen to Imperial Sister at such an important occasion, right?"

"Imperial Sister Mu is really kind. Thank you for your concern." Princess Hu put on a smile.

Mu Fei Xin merely smiled without mirth. She noticed her maidservants had returned and said that there was no one around. Waving her hand, she asked the servants to follow her to the next place.

Seeing that they were going once more, Princess Hu paid no heed and turned around.

Prince Yang Lu passed a glance at Princess Hu, who disappeared in the direction where the selection was held and revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Xin'er."

"What is it?"
