Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 272 The Seventh Young Master Mei is the Eldest Princess

This was the first time Su Mowan had heard Emperor Mo Yao mention the Empress Dowager.

She knew that the Empress Dowager was a devout Buddhist who rarely left the palace. Come to think of it, the Empress Dowager's presence was rather low-key.

What did Emperor Moyao mean by suddenly asking her and Murong Jing to visit the Empress Dowager at this time?

Shouldn't the best time to pay attention to the Empress Dowager be when she first married into the family?

Despite her doubts, Su Mowan wouldn't ask them aloud.

Murong Jing glanced at her, asking her with his eyes what she thought. Su Mowan lowered her eyes and behaved very docilely.

It means you decide, it's up to you.

Thus, His Highness the King of Qin finally held his head high in front of Emperor Mo Yao, and his authority as a husband was greatly strengthened!

And so, His Highness Prince Qin and Su Mowan were arranged to stay in Pingyang Palace, which was next to Jingyang Palace.

Of course, Emperor Mo Yao first took his family to the Empress's Jingyang Palace, and then had a long talk. Just when Su Mo Wan felt she was about to be overwhelmed, Murong Jing said that she hadn't been feeling well lately and needed to rest early.

Emperor Mo Yao was speaking happily when he was suddenly interrupted by the little brat, and he glared at him with some displeasure.

However, thinking that his daughter-in-law and grandson were more important, he lovingly gave Su Mowan some instructions and let the two of them go to Pingyang Palace to rest.

Once the two had disappeared from sight, Emperor Moyao quickly moved to the Empress's side and said slyly, "When did our son become so good to his daughter-in-law?"

The Empress, seemingly remembering something, gave an unpleasant snort and said, "Isn't our son just like you? It's quite good."

Emperor Mo Yao knew this wasn't a compliment, so he quickly moved closer and took the Empress's hand in his palm. "Why are you being so sarcastic? Shouldn't we be happy that our son and daughter-in-law get along well?"

The Empress withdrew her hand but did not respond.

Emperor Mo Yao suddenly chuckled and put his arm around the Empress. "Is Zitong jealous? You're so old, yet you still think you're a young girl? Besides, those old things are long gone, why bother caring about them anymore?"

The Empress gave a push, but couldn't move him. She then shooed him away, saying, "Your Majesty, I have no time to be jealous of you. It's late, Your Majesty should go back and rest. Jingyang Palace is about to close."

Emperor Mo Yao sighed, released the person, stood up and said, "Then I'll be leaving."

"..."

The Empress turned her head and saw that Emperor Moyao was waiting for her to turn around, so she immediately called out the name of the head palace maid.

The head palace maid rushed in from outside the hall, bowed, and asked what her orders were.

Before the Empress could speak, Emperor Moyao said, "Prepare hot water for washing up. I will stay here with the Empress tonight."

The head palace maid acknowledged and left, but the Empress snorted coldly. "Your Majesty should return to your Jingtai Palace, lest Consort Xiao and Consort Shen come running to me again!"

Emperor Mo Yao chuckled twice and coaxed the Empress with a few words before finally winning her over.

-

At Pingyang Palace, after Su Mowan finished washing up, Yinshuang helped her remove the hairpins and other hair ornaments from her hair, letting Su Mowan's thick, black hair fall down.

Murong Jing had almost finished tidying up. Su Mowan went over and helped him to bed. Yinshuang turned off the light and left.

The pale moonlight streamed in through the window.

After a while, Su Mowan's eyes adjusted to the light. Before Murong Jing could reach out, she instinctively leaned into his arms, tilted her head slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know of a person called Young Master Mei the Seventh in the martial arts world?"

Murong Jing gave a faint "hmm," and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you know where this Seventh Young Master Mei is from, and where he usually hangs out?"

"I don't know. Do you want to know? I can send someone to investigate."

Su Mowan felt her hands were a little cold, so she breathed on them and said, "No need, I just want to ask if there's any trace of Young Master Mei in Qingcheng's case."

Murong Jing didn't seem very interested in knowing. He pulled her closer to him, took her hand in his palm, and said, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Su Mowan was actually very uncomfortable with this situation; with her hand being held and unable to move, she couldn't sleep soundly.

So she struggled a little, saying, "Let go of my hand, I can't sleep like this."

Murong Jing's breath warmed her forehead. "Your hands are cold."

Su Mowan's eyes darted around, and she said, "Let go of me, I'll put you somewhere else."

Murong Jing hesitated for a moment, then indeed let go.

As soon as her hand was released, Su Mowan reached for Murong Jing's waist and then slipped her hand under his clothes.

Murong Jing stiffened slightly, seemingly stimulated by the coolness of her hand.

Su Mowan patted Murong Jing's waist and then whispered her opinion: "Feels nice."

"..."

Murong Jing pulled her mischievous hand away, his voice low and hoarse, "Don't do anything reckless outside."

What do you mean by "outside"? Does it mean that everything outside the Prince's mansion is outside? Su Mowan almost burst out laughing.

But he still said in a serious tone, "I have something to tell you. This is just my speculation, and I don't know if it's accurate or not. Just listen to it casually."

Murong Jing pulled the person closer and said, "Go ahead."

"I suspect that Young Master Mei is the eldest princess."

After Su Mowan finished speaking, she waited quietly for Murong Jing's reaction.

Murong Jing seemed to be considering the credibility of these words, and after a while he said in a low voice, "Why would you think that?"

Su Mowan thought for a moment and then explained briefly.

"Do you remember the day Song Chuwen and I went to Qingchengfang? Song Chuwen was asking questions when suddenly two plum blossom needles flew in. When I chased after them, I didn't find anyone. Just then, the eldest princess arrived. It was too much of a coincidence."

Murong Jing thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessarily true. The Japanese king went too. Besides, if it were Young Master Mei himself, he should have fled immediately after shooting the hidden weapon."

Su Mowan somewhat disagreed.

"Haven't you heard the saying that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is? The eldest princess might be deliberately going to Qingchengfang to clear her name."

Even if you're right, so what?

"Nothing much, I was just curious. And as you've probably noticed, the eldest princess clearly likes Song Chuwen, but rumors say she likes Su Mobai. It's all very strange."

What Su Mowan didn't tell Murong Jing was that the Seventh Princess saw Su Mobai outside Qingchengfang that day.

The eldest princess and Su Mobai must have some kind of relationship.

Su Mowan remembered the strange behavior between the eldest princess and Song Chuwen, so she asked Murong Jing if he knew what kind of relationship the two had had before. Murong Jing did not answer, and his warm breath gradually approached.

"Aren't you worrying too much? Are you very familiar with Song Chuwen?"

"..."

"What a load of rubbish! Gossiping with Murong Jing never works!" So Su Mowan decided to shut up and go to sleep.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. Don't you have to see the Empress Dowager tomorrow? Remember to wake me up, don't oversleep."

Upon hearing this, Murong Jing flipped over and pinned her beneath him, his warm breath brushing against Su Mowan's face.

"I'll sleep later."
