Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 459 Does that saintess really know how to perform magic?

"Hmph! I don't want that woman from Great Chu to be my mother, don't even think about it!"

Princess Lianye kicked the steward's arm.

The butler remained motionless.

"Go tell my father that once I see the Holy Maiden, I will have her perform a ritual to ensure that woman from Great Chu dies without a burial place, do you hear me!"

Princess Lianye burst into tears in her anger as she spoke.

Her mother had only been gone for less than three years, and her father was already planning to marry another woman to be her mother. Dream on!

She would never agree!

Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu exchanged a glance. Was the Holy Maiden performing some kind of ritual?

Will it cause someone to die without a burial place?

The two then looked at the crowd gathered at the gate in the distance.

Today is the eldest prince's wedding day, and guests are arriving in droves, with some local residents also coming to watch the excitement.

Therefore, there are now many people gathered around the gate of the government office, three layers deep.

The two stood there, one with extraordinary hearing and the other with internal strength that had reached the level of a grandmaster.

It was easy for the two to hear people in the crowd muttering curses about the young princess's lack of manners, while others said that the eldest prince had actually married a vixen from the Great Chu, that he had been blinded by lust...

Mu Yun Chu's expression became more serious.

If we allow the young princess to shout so recklessly, the upcoming marriage ceremony will definitely be affected.

Before he could even step forward, several old women rushed out of the mansion, grabbed the young princess's arm, and helped her up.

“The young princess must have come back from a long journey and is exhausted.”

An old woman standing nearby directed the two women who were supporting the princess to hurry up and leave. She smiled and looked at the crowd of onlookers outside the gate, then said to the other women, "Hurry up and help the princess back to rest and wash up."

After saying that, the group walked into the mansion.

Gu Qingyue could see clearly that the two men were holding her down from both sides, and Princess Lianye was unable to resist at all, almost unable to move.

Fortunately, these old women reacted quickly; otherwise, who knows what trouble Princess Lianye would have caused.

"Let me go! You unruly servants!" Princess Lianye was even more furious, but she couldn't move. She stared at the group with eyes that seemed capable of killing.

But soon, he was dragged inside by a group of people.

Gu Qingyue had a headache watching this; this little girl was incredibly mischievous!

It seems that he was quite 'reasonable' to return the Forget-Me-Not Fairy that she had stolen last time.

hehe------

Seeing the young princess escorted back to the manor by several nannies, the maids and servants behind her felt as if they had been granted a pardon and immediately ran into the eldest prince's manor as well.

Being stared at and pointed at by everyone is really unpleasant.

The farce at the entrance came to an end, and the steward immediately stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to the servants, signaling them to continue their work. Only then did the surrounding crowd disperse in twos and threes.

However, I'm quite satisfied with what I've learned.

As the area in front of the mansion gate gradually opened up, the steward spotted Mu Yun Chu and her group at the back of the crowd.

He rushed over and very politely and solemnly led the group to the VIP area in the front yard.

In fact, Mu Yun Chu had met this butler before.

He met secretly with the eldest prince and a few others last night.

The steward was well aware that the eldest prince wanted to win over King Li, and therefore, he was very attentive.

"May I ask Steward Liu, was that the young princess at the door just now? What happened?" Mu Yun Chu didn't give Steward Liu any face and asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Steward Liu broke out in a cold sweat.

He sighed helplessly and began to talk about Princess Lianye.

It turns out that Princess Lianye ran away from home after learning that the princess from the Great Chu Kingdom had already set off for a marriage alliance.

She declared that if the princess sent for a political marriage couldn't become her mother, she would make that princess pay!

So the eldest prince immediately sent people to search for her, but unfortunately, the little princess was incredibly fast; she managed to board a merchant ship and sneak away.

This was something no one expected. The eldest prince thought she was just being difficult and would at most wander around the capital, buying a lot of clothes and jewelry for young ladies. That's how she always acted when she was angry.

Therefore, the eldest prince initially only sent people to search in the capital.

After searching for two days without success, they became anxious and sent people to search outside the city and at the docks.

Unexpectedly, there was no further news.

A while ago, someone returned to the capital and said that they had seen the young princess in Sanchun City, so the eldest prince sent someone to Sanchun City.

Unexpectedly, the people sent out had not yet returned, but the young princess returned on her own today.

By a twist of fate, today is the day the eldest prince marries Princess Chaoyue.

Sure enough, a commotion broke out right at the door.

After saying that, Steward Liu was still a little embarrassed. "Your Highness Prince Li, please forgive us. We will never let the young princess ruin today's joyous occasion."

He paused, then added, "The young princess has been spoiled by our prince since she was a child. I hope Prince Li will not take it to heart."

After all, the young princess kept cursing the Great Chu princess, so it was normal for King Li to mind or be angry.

"Steward Liu, I heard Princess Lianye say that the Holy Maiden is going to perform a ritual? How is it performed? It sounds so magical!"

Gu Qingyue looked at Butler Liu with a smile, her eyes fixed on him, looking quite gossipy.

Although her face was still covered by a mask, it didn't stop her from making an expression that suggested she was simply curious and watching the spectacle.

Butler Liu's lips twitched as he looked at Gu Qingyue.

"The young princess has been favored by the Holy Maiden since childhood and is very close to her. The Holy Maiden of Nanzhao possesses unparalleled sorcery and divination skills, so naturally she can..."

Butler Liu belatedly realized he had said too much and immediately shut up.

He smiled politely at them again and changed the subject, "You've all had a good laugh today. Please rest for a while. Our Prince should be back from the palace soon. This old servant will go and prepare some things. Please wait a moment, Your Highness."

Mu Yun Chu nodded and gestured for him to step back.

Only Gu Qingyue and the other two remained in the room, and their expressions were no longer as relaxed as before.

The group exchanged glances. According to Steward Liu, could the Holy Maiden really have such great abilities?

Mu Yun Chu had been at war with Nan Zhao for many years, and had never really heard much about this Holy Maiden.

He focused more on the Grand Wizard and the Wizard's Temple, because they had been tirelessly planting spies in Lizhou and the surrounding counties and towns for many years. Therefore, the Holy Maiden was rarely mentioned.

Seeing that Mu Yun Chu's expression had turned cold and stern, Gu Qing Yue laughed and said, "Don't worry, so what if she wants to capture me? Do you think I'm that easy to capture?"

She didn't say it, but she actually wanted to meet her.

Maybe she'll come back today for the eldest prince's wedding. Didn't those people gossiping in the teahouse mention that?

The Holy Maiden might return to the capital to personally attend the Crown Prince's wedding...

Gu Qingyue rubbed her fingers, wondering what abilities the saintess possessed.

"Don't worry, A-Yue, just do what you want to do, I'll take care of everything."
