Lu Yanhua was sleepy again just now and couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

"Huh? What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"How about? You go and take a nap."

Lu Yanhua shook her head repeatedly to wake herself up for a while, "No, no, no."

This was in the East Palace, not her own home. How dare she really fall asleep here.

Princess Anle continued: "A few days ago, I met the second emperor's sister-in-law entering the palace to pay her respects to Concubine De. Seeing that her face was particularly bad, I went to ask her a few questions. But she hesitated and refused to say anything. I feel something is wrong with her.”

When Lu Yanhua heard this, she was no longer sleepy, "What? What happened to my cousin?"

"I don't know. I can't tell what's wrong. But my intuition tells me that she's not having a good life, and there's no smile on her face at all. She's only been married for a long time, so she should have some smile on her face anyway!"

Lu Yanhua was worried to death, remembering that Murong Yu had told her that Murong Ye was ruthless and had many concubines in the house, so her cousin must have been bullied by him.

On the way back to Duke Ning's mansion, Lu Yanhua had been feeling gloomy. Murong Yu noticed it and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you have a good time today?"

"No, I heard from Anle that her cousin was not doing well."

Murong Yu had heard about this for a long time. His second emperor brother was not a good person to begin with. In his eyes, women are just playthings used to vent his desires.

"After all, your cousin is Princess Xiang, the direct daughter of the Cui family. No matter what she does, she has to look at the face of the entire Cui family and doesn't dare to be really forceful."

After listening to his words, Lu Yanhua felt better, "I hope so!"

"No thanks, it's New Year's Eve soon, I'll see her."

"Ok!"

East Palace

After Princess Anle left, Lu Wanxi was also very worried, so she came to ask Murong Yi.

Murong Yi sat on the couch and pulled her into his arms.

"Your Highness~"

"what happened?"

"I would like to ask His Highness something."

"what's up?"

"It's about King Xiang and Princess Xiang."

Murong Yi didn't need to think too much to know that Princess Anle must have told her.

"You're too talkative again."

"An Le just said casually, is Princess Xiang having a bad life?"

Murong Yi's people have been secretly monitoring Prince Xiang's Mansion, and every move in Prince Xiang's Mansion cannot escape his eyes.

He is naturally aware of the recent tragic situation of Princess Xiang Cui Jingwan.

Ever since she married Murong Ye, she had always been angry with him. If Murong Ye had any trouble, he would beat and scold her to vent his anger. He also disliked her for being dull and boring, not as interesting as the concubine in the house, so after only three days of marriage, she went to stay elsewhere.

According to the rules, Murong Ye should spend the night at Cui Jingwan's place within three months of their wedding. But only three days later, Cui Jingwan fell out of favor. Murong Ye undoubtedly slapped her hard in the face, which made her, the mistress of the palace, lose face and make her even less stable.

After Lu Wanxi knew all this, she felt extremely sympathetic to Cui Jingwan. She didn't want to marry Murong Ye, because she was afraid that she already knew his character beforehand. If he didn't have a good status, who would be willing to marry him?

But this was a marriage granted by the Holy Father, and Cui Jingwan had no reason to refuse, and she did not dare to resist the decree. She could only marry Murong Ye for the sake of the entire Cui family.

This Prince Xiang is really not a good person, Lu Wanxi cursed in her heart. She had always had a good temper and never cursed, but Murong Ye was really not that good of a person. How could there be such shameless and no-nonsense people in this world?

Murong Yi saw her worried look. He had always thought that she and Cui Jingwan had a bad relationship before. It was rumored that Cui Jingwan also wanted to be the crown princess. Did he think that they would not deal with each other?

"Are you worried about Princess Xiang?"

"Well! After all, she is Yan Hua's cousin, and she has known her since she was a child. Now that she is going through this, it is inevitable that people will sympathize with her."

It was not easy for Murong Yi to interfere in this matter. Murong Ye concealed the matter, but he knew about it and undoubtedly told everyone that he had an informant in his house.

If my father knew about it, he would definitely accuse him of having different intentions.

Murong Yi could only stand by and watch. In the final analysis, this matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to meddle in others' affairs.

"Okay, don't worry about others. Let's just live our own lives. It's inconvenient for us to interfere in this matter."

Lu Wanxi knew the stakes involved. After all, it was a matter between the couple. It would be no good to anyone if it got too big.

Sure enough, domestic violence has existed since ancient times and cannot be changed overnight. Modern domestic violence has been legislated, but this kind of thing still happens in endlessly.

"My concubine understands."

"Smile, don't be unhappy."

Lu Wanxi couldn't laugh, so Murong Yi tickled her. Lu Wanxi grabbed his hand and said, "Your Highness~ Your Highness is so annoying."

Murong Yi suddenly held the back of her head and kissed her lips. Lu Wanxi was caught off guard, and then she wrapped her hands around his neck, and the two deepened the kiss together.

After that, Murong Yi reluctantly left her lips, and their foreheads were pressed together. Murong Yi said: "In the future, you are not allowed to think about other people in front of me."

"Your Highness is so domineering."

"Then I'm really overbearing." He picked her up and walked towards the inner hall.

Lu Wanxi said nervously: "Your Highness! Now... still..."
