Chapter 163 Meeting the Princess
After the banquet, Tang Mumu was just about to find Linlang to take her to talk to Xie Yu and ask him to arrange a meeting between her and the princess, when she saw a little maid serving the princess walking quickly towards them and bowing.
"Princess Rong, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to take you there."
"The princess said so?" Tang Mumu's face lit up with joy. She thought it would take a lot of effort to see her, but she didn't expect Xie Yuan to take the initiative to ask someone to take her there.
"Let's go then."
"Princess, His Highness has said that only you can go there, and Your Highness does not need to accompany you." The maid bowed to Rong Yan and said, "Your Highness, the Princess has said that she only wants to chat with you and will send you back to Juyang Palace before midnight. Please rest assured, Your Highness does not need to accompany you."
Rong Yan frowned slightly, and Tang Mumu quickly comforted him, "It's okay for me to go by myself. We can also have a private conversation between daughters. Don't worry, this is in the palace. The princess won't do anything to me. I will be back before midnight."
Although Rong Yan was worried about her going to see the princess alone, he thought that this might be the condition for the princess to agree to see Tang Mumu, so he could only say a few words to Tang Mumu.
"Be careful."
"Don't worry, the princess hasn't bothered me in the past few days, and nothing will happen tonight. I'll be back soon, just wait for me in Juyang Palace."
Seeing Rong Yan still frowning, Tang Mumu could only smile and say, "Don't worry, if there is anything wrong I will run away immediately. I have so many skills in my body, I will definitely come back safely."
Rong Yan then let go, and the others gathered around and lectured Rong Yan again. Only then did Tang Mumu walk away with the maid.
"Don't worry, this is in the palace, the princess wouldn't dare to do anything. Maybe they are just chatting about the past between sisters. It's really inconvenient for a grown man like you to be there."
Linlang couldn't stand it anymore, so she talked a lot and brought up Xie Yu, and only then did she coax him back to Juyang Palace.
Following the maid through a long corridor, the surroundings seemed to be getting more and more remote. Although there was no change on Tang Mumu's face, she was already extremely alert in her heart, and secretly hid the poison needle that Linlang gave her in her sleeve.
After turning a corner at a prosperous palace, the little maid finally stopped and bowed to her and said, "Princess Rong, we're here."
The little maid opened the door. Tang Mumu stood at the door and looked inside. Xie Yuan was sitting at the table with his back to her. The room was also furnished in ordinary style. The room was unobstructed and it was impossible for anyone to hide inside. Tang Mumu then stepped in.
As soon as she entered, the door behind her was closed. Tang Mumu was not in a hurry and sat down on the stool opposite the eldest princess.
"Sister, why did you choose such a remote place? If you don't know, you would think you were planning to bury my body here."
Tang Mumu calmly poured herself a cup of warm water and Xie Yuan smiled at her actions.
"Aren't you afraid that I might poison the water?"
"I don't think Senior Sister is that stupid. After all, I am still useful to you."
Xie Yuan's eyes were gloomy and unclear, "Junior sister, why don't you tell me about it."
"I guess Senior Sister asked me to come here to discuss the assassination of Emperor An."
Xie Yuan's smile froze, and he looked at Tang Mumu for a long while before saying, "So what is your plan, Junior Sister?"
"If I say no, will I be unable to leave this house tonight?"
"Yes, there are many masters of the Moon Shadow Sect ambushing outside this courtyard. This house is made of wood, and there is a lot of gunpowder buried around it." Xie Yuan said as he moved the teacup in his hand closer to Tang Mumu and smiled, "The breaking of the cup is a sign. Once the cup is broken, someone will ignite the gunpowder, and this place will be razed to the ground in an instant."
"Really?" Tang Mumu smiled and threw the teacup in her hand hard, sending pieces flying everywhere. Xie Yuan didn't expect her to be so crazy and glared at her fiercely.
"I guess what Senior Sister said was a lie. Senior Sister couldn't bear to see me die. Not only that, she would even arrange for people from the Moon Shadow Sect to protect me on the way back to Shangjing."
Xie Yuan's face had already turned pale. With every word Tang Mumu said, she wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. The knuckles of her hand holding the teacup turned white. Tang Mumu looked at her and raised her lips, knowing how angry she was at the moment.
"What makes you think I won't kill you?"
"Because Senior Sister wants to borrow my identity as Princess Rong to return to the palace and get close to Father. She also wants me to take the opportunity to assassinate Father. If I die now, there will be no chance to avenge Master."
"Tang Mumu." Xie Yuan slammed the table, and the water in the teacup spilled out, wetting the tabletop.
"Senior sister, don't be angry. I haven't finished what I said yet." Tang Mumu stared at Xie Yuan leisurely, and after a moment she continued, "I am still Princess Rong, the only one who has the opportunity to get close to my father. I know that you want revenge, but I advise you not to rush for quick success. There are so many experts around my father. Just entering the palace is dangerous, not to mention assassinating him?"
"Besides, Father will be more cautious after what happened. Even if I am Princess Rong, it is rare for me to get close to him alone. Moreover, Father already knows my identity. Even if he spares my life for the sake of the prince, do you think Father will still give me the opportunity to assassinate him?"
Xie Yuan's eyes turned cold, and his expression also turned cold.
"So you are unwilling to avenge your master? Even though your master is your relative who raised you since childhood, you are unwilling to take risks for your master?"
Tang Mumu restrained her expression, and her tone became a little distant instead of polite as before, "Revenge? I guess Senior Sister has always believed that I am the culprit who killed Master. Senior Sister should be waiting for me to return to the palace and kill my father before finding a chance to kill me, right?"
The corners of Xie Yuan's eyes turned slightly red, and tears gathered in her eyes. She looked at Tang Mumu and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Yes, Junior Sister, since you are so smart, you should know that killing Emperor An is your only chance to atone for your sins and your only chance to repay Master for raising you. I don't think Junior Sister is a person who repays kindness with enmity."
Xie Yuan was testing him on purpose, and Tang Mumu could see it clearly.
"Then Senior Sister really thinks highly of me. Now I am the Princess of Rong and Emperor An is my father. Why do you think I would assassinate Emperor An?"
"you wanna die."
A teacup flew out in response. Tang Mumu did not dodge, but reached out to catch the teacup thrown by Xie Yuan. Xie Yuan's face was solemn. He did not expect that she could catch it steadily. It seemed that she was not as easy to deal with as he thought.
Tang Mumu placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table and stared at Xie Yuan with sharp eyes. It was obvious that her patience was gone.
"I advise you not to ask for trouble. Yueying Sect is Master's hard work. If you insist on having your own way, you will only destroy Master's last efforts."
"There is one more thing I must remind you, Senior Sister. You'd better not touch anyone around me, otherwise we will all perish together. I will drag you to hell with me."
After Tang Mumu finished speaking, she stood up and left. She originally wanted to say goodbye to Xie Yuan properly tonight, but she didn't expect that she would dare to plot to assassinate Emperor An so blatantly.
She didn't know whether there were people from the Yueying Sect outside the house, but there must be people from the Yujin Guard. Her father would not give up his vigilance against her so soon.
