"Mu Jingyan! What do you mean!" Mu Shiyan frowned and his expression became cold.

Although he always looked unattractive on weekdays, when his expression became colder, he looked particularly similar to Mu Xuanye.

Mu Jingyan pursed her lips and was about to say something when the old woman waiting beside her spoke first, "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, it's getting late, and Concubine Shu is still waiting for you to come back for dinner."

Mu Jingyan gritted her teeth and said, "In short, that's what it means literally."

After saying that, regardless of Mu Shiyan's reaction, he turned around and left.

Mu Shiyan was so angry that he almost burst into smoke. He turned angrily and asked Qi Ning beside him, "Look at his virtue, I shouldn't have helped him before!"

"Now it seems as if this palace really cares about his brother."

"Second Highness, don't be angry, it will hurt your health." Qi Ning said with a smile, "What's more, you didn't lose the bet, so you didn't really help."

Mu Shiyan was choked and glared at Qining, "You little slave, are you on our side or on Mu Jingyan's side?"

Qi Ning smiled and bowed, "I naturally stand with His Highness the Second Highness."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Mu Shiyan felt a little relieved, and he led a group of palace people to leave the palace to drink flower wine to relieve their anger.

Naturally, Mu Yinyin didn't know that her two brothers were quarreling. Thinking that the canonization ceremony would be the next day, she was a little nervous and didn't take a few bites of dinner. As a result, she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

She didn't want to disturb Qi Yi and Ji Wan's rest, so she planned to quietly go to the imperial kitchen to find some food.

Mu Yinyin was wrapped in the cloak that Ye Hanling had conjured for her in the morning, and she was walking through the corridors of the Qiankun Palace.

"Princess, what do you want to eat? Just ask your subordinates to get it for you. Princess, there is really no need to come out in person." Brother Ye followed behind.

Because Cheng Chun made Mu Yinyin cry in the morning, he voluntarily went to the secret guard camp to receive his punishment. Now he is lying in bed recovering from his injuries.

"It doesn't matter, I just wanted to come out and get some air." Mu Yinyin jumped up and down in the moonlight, stepping on her own shadow.

The moon is very bright tonight, making her shadow very long, even a little distorted.

Mu Yinyin frowned, "Why is my shadow so ugly today?"

Yinsha poked his head out of her sleeves and took a look, "No, I look the same as usual."

"Yes." Mu Yinyin insisted, then she thought of something and lowered her head to catch Yin Sha, "Xiao Baibai, why are you still here with me? The beautiful master is back, why don't you follow him?"

"No, the master said, let me follow you, the little beast master, to Jing'an Temple." Yinsha raised his head proudly, "The master asked me to protect the little beast master."

"Eh? Really?" Mu Yinyin was surprised, "Why didn't you tell me when it happened?"

If she knew that Master Meiren had already arranged for Yinsha to follow her, she wouldn't be so aggrieved.

"Just this morning." Yinsha thought for a while and replied, "Master heard from the emperor that he wanted to send you, the little beast master, to Jing'an Temple, so he asked me to follow you, the little beast master."

"That was before Master Beauty came to me?" Mu Yinyin felt sweet in her heart and couldn't help but sigh again, "Sure enough, Master Beauty is the best!"

They were talking to each other, and after a while they arrived at the imperial dining room.

Because there is a canonization ceremony tomorrow, the imperial dining room is still busy at this time, and the chefs are shuttled in the kitchen to prepare food for the banquet after the ceremony tomorrow.

"Wow, it smells so good." Mu Yinyin lay outside the window and sniffed, "No wonder Mo Mo always likes to run to the imperial kitchen when he has nothing to do."

"It tastes good." Yinsha also climbed into the kitchen. It deliberately shrunk its body and lay on the windowsill like a small insect. You couldn't tell if you didn't pay attention.

Suddenly, its red eyes suddenly froze, "What is that person doing sneakily?"

Mu Yinyin followed Yin Sha's line of sight and saw a palace maid taking a cup out of her sleeve in a sneaky manner, and then quickly replacing it with another cup on the table.

"Eh..." Mu Yinyin squinted her eyes so that she could see more clearly, "Isn't that cup used for drinking milk in the morning?"

She has the habit of drinking milk in the morning, and she also uses a set of white jade cups.

Her father said that the cup was made of a unique kind of jade, which could keep food fresh and not spoil. It was best used to hold fresh milk.

She didn't believe it before, but she even tried it specially and found that if she put the peeled fruit in it, it would not change color for a long time and remain as fresh as ever.

That cup was so precious that even the palace only had one set, so she recognized it at a glance.

Brother Ye also noticed something strange, "Princess, I need my subordinates to capture that person and question him."

Mu Yinyin thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, quietly, don't let others find out."

There must be something wrong with that palace maid tampering with her special cup.

Brother Ye took the order and left, and soon brought the palace maid who had her acupuncture points in front of Mu Yinyin.

The frightened expression still remained on the palace maid's face.

Mu Yinyin clasped her hands behind her back and tried to imitate Mu Xuanye, putting on what she thought was a cold expression, "Do you recognize me?"

The palace maid's eyes widened and she didn't respond.

Mu Yinyin looked at Brother Ye in confusion, "Why doesn't she speak? Is it because she doesn't know me?"

It shouldn’t be!

"Replying to the princess, I just tapped her acupuncture points." After speaking, Brother Ye tapped the palace maid's back again.

Now the palace maid reacted, and immediately leaned over and kowtowed to Mu Yinyin, "Princess, please forgive me, this slave is also forced to do nothing."

"It's all the nuns from Liuyu Palace who threatened me, saying that if I don't do what she says, I will let me disappear silently into the palace."

Mu Yinyin was stunned. Why didn't she ask for it? She hadn't even started to ask.

"Which nanny from Liuyu Palace?" Brother Ye asked in a deep voice, "But the cup she ordered you to change? What kind of manipulation was done to the cup you changed?"

"Yes, she is the little princess's wet nurse." The palace maid lowered her head and did not dare to look at Mu Yinyin.

Mu Yinyin frowned, "Mu Yulan's nanny?"

She had an influence on that nanny and was very vicious. In the past, every time Mu Yulan made things difficult for her, she would always fan the flames.

"Yes." The palace maid replied tremblingly, "Elder princess, please spare my life. This slave is really forced to have no choice..."

"First raise your head and speak properly." Mu Yinyin said in a sweet voice, "Unlike Mu Yulan, I will not take your life."

If this palace maid did something wrong, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will take care of it. She will not kill people like Mu Yulan.

Hearing what Mu Yinyin said, the palace maid breathed a sigh of relief and slowly raised her body.

"Did the nurse next to Mu Yulan tell you why she asked you to change my princess's cup?" Mu Yinyin already knew something in her heart. Mu Yulan hated her so much that she could not watch her honestly.

She was canonized.
