Chapter 186 The prince wants to rebel?
"Hey, Fifth Miss, don't hide anything in front of us. You still say that you are a delicate lady in the boudoir? Humph, I really don't believe it!" Eunuch Chen said slowly with a meaningful smile on his face.
There was a faint smile on Mu Lanfeng's lips, which revealed an elusive meaning, and his eyes slowly fell on the eunuch in front of him.
This eunuch looks inconspicuous on weekdays, but when it comes to real things, the shrewdness in his eyes and his flawless behavior are not so easy to fool!
As for the test just now, the eunuch responded very well and did not reveal any flaws at all.
She said slowly, "Father-in-law, you really praise Lan Feng too much. You have been working hard for many years. Nothing can escape your eyes. I, Lan Feng, am just a person who knows myself a little."
When Eunuch Chen heard this, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth still had that flattering and smooth smile. He quickly responded, "Fifth Miss, you are too modest. I have just seen a lot. But you have to know that sometimes what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears may not necessarily be the truth!"
There is a deep meaning hidden in these words!
Mu Lanfeng was thinking about the meaning of Eunuch Chen's words when suddenly, the carriage stopped abruptly and the horse stopped abruptly as if it was startled by something.
Then, the coachman was heard cursing at the top of his voice, "Hey! How do you walk like that? Huh? You're running around like a headless fly in broad daylight! Are your eyes for decoration? You're just running straight towards the carriage without even looking at the road ahead, humph!"
The groom cursed and waved the whip in his hand. His face turned red and the veins on his neck were bulging. He looked like he wanted to rush up and teach the other person a lesson.
Mu Lanfeng turned slightly and glanced out of the carriage window, only to see that the person who had just startled the carriage had already run away and disappeared without a trace, not even a corner of his clothes could be seen.
Eunuch Chen was caught off guard by this sudden move, and he leaned back uncontrollably, falling hard on his butt with a thump.
His face instantly became extremely ugly, and he couldn't help cursing and shouting: "Ouch, how did you drive this car? I almost fell to my death. Ouch, it hurts so much!"
"Please forgive me, sir. I was really scared by a blind little thing just now. I don't know where that little bastard came from, but he rushed towards the horse recklessly. The horse was frightened and that's why such a commotion happened. I deserve to die. Please be magnanimous and don't take it seriously!" The groom replied tremblingly.
Eunuch Chen sat back up angrily, stretched out his hand and tidied up his messy collar, and urged impatiently, "Alright, stop talking nonsense, and drive your car!"
"Father-in-law, are you okay?" Mu Lanfeng hurriedly moved closer and asked.
"What could be the problem? Humph!" Eunuch Chen snorted unhappily, with a hint of annoyance on his face.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the hem of his clothes vigorously, as if to shake off the dust that had accumulated from the fall. "What could possibly happen to our family? What can such a small noise do to our family? It's fine!"
After saying that, Eunuch Chen snorted heavily again, leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes, as if trying to calm down his previous irritability.
Mu Lanfeng watched the carriage slowly circle the city, and finally, it stopped at the gate of the palace.
What's going on? Aren't we going to Cheng Wang Mansion?
Why do you want to go to the palace now?
Mu Lanfeng was full of doubts and couldn't figure out the reason behind this. His mind was working rapidly and he sorted out everything from beginning to end.
He raised his eyes slightly and took a quick look at the eunuch in front of him. He saw that the eunuch seemed to be resting leisurely with his eyes closed, but Mu Lanfeng knew in his heart that this guy was very cunning!
Then, he lowered his eyebrows and looked at the note tightly held in his hand. He knew in his heart that it was far from the time to open it!
I can only wait for another opportunity!
Seeing that the carriage was about to drive into the palace gate, Mu Lanfeng pretended to raise her hand and fanned it gently, as if she was just trying to get some fresh air. She was about to lift the curtain and stick her head out to see what was happening outside, but she was stopped by Eunuch Chen, "Fifth Miss, be patient!"
When Mu Lanfeng heard what Eunuch Chen said, his hand stopped in mid-air. He was slightly startled, then he came to his senses. With a bit of embarrassment on his face, he smiled and said, "It's really stuffy in the car, I just want to get some fresh air!"
"When we get there later, Fifth Miss, you will have plenty of time to breathe. But for now, I'll have to ask you to be patient for a while!" Eunuch Chen raised his chin, looking arrogant.
Mu Lanfeng knew in his heart that it was not appropriate to argue with the eunuch at this moment, so he could only smile and reply, "Yes, eunuch is right, Lanfeng understands!"
This imperial palace was not really familiar to Mu Lanfeng.
Just a while ago, she seized a map of the palace from a captured spy from Xilin. She only glanced through it and only roughly memorized the approximate locations of the palaces.
At this moment, she looked at the direction the carriage was heading, and thought to herself that according to the situation, the carriage should be heading towards the East Palace where the prince lived.
The Prince’s Eastern Palace?
Could it be that the person who intends to rebel this time is not King Cheng, but the Crown Prince?
Could it be that these two have already colluded with each other and joined forces to rebel?
As expected, the carriage finally stopped steadily at the gate of the East Palace.
"Fifth Miss, get off the car, we've arrived!" Eunuch Chen spoke slowly and slowly, his tone revealing an elusive meaning.
Mu Lanfeng stretched out his hand and slowly lifted the curtain, then stepped down from the carriage slowly and leisurely.
Looking up, I saw a large group of guards gathered at the gate of the East Palace. All of them had solemn and serious expressions, like cold statues, waiting for orders to be given.
"Someone come! Take the fifth young lady away quickly and let her have a good rest. Remember, she is not allowed to see anyone during this period!" Eunuch Chen shouted arrogantly.
When Mu Lanfeng heard this, her heart sank. She knew that entering the palace this time might not be that easy. But she didn't expect to be treated like this as soon as she arrived at the East Palace. It was clear that she was going to be put under house arrest!
"Father-in-law, what does this mean? Why don't you allow me to see anyone? Lanfeng doesn't understand what's going on, I hope you can explain it to me!" Mu Lanfeng suppressed the resentment in his heart and tried to make his voice sound calmer.
"Hmph!" Eunuch Chen snorted again, glancing at Mu Lanfeng with a sidelong glance, his face full of impatience, "Fifth Miss, we are just following orders, you just need to be obedient, don't ask any more questions, it's useless to ask, someone will come to find you when the time comes, now you just go and have a good rest!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and stopped looking at her.
The guards who were summoned received the order and immediately stepped forward and said to Mu Lanfeng expressionlessly, "Fifth Miss, please come in."
There was no room for negotiation in that tone.
Mu Lanfeng bit her lower lip, knowing that resistance was futile at this moment, so she had no choice but to walk towards the unknown place of imprisonment under the escort of the guards.
Along the way, she kept looking around, trying to find a chance to escape or figure out the situation, but the East Palace was heavily guarded, with patrolling guards everywhere, so she didn't dare to act rashly at this moment!
When the guards brought Mu Lanfeng to a residence, one of them stepped forward, opened the door, and said expressionlessly, "Fifth Miss, please come in!"
Hearing the voice, Mu Lanfeng raised his eyes slightly and looked carefully into the house. He saw that the furnishings in the house were simple, revealing an indescribable feeling of coldness and loneliness.
She took a deep breath, then stepped forward and walked in slowly.
As soon as I stepped into the house, the door was slammed shut from the outside with a bang, and the dull sound of the door closing echoed in the silent space.
Seeing the door closed, Mu Lanfeng quickly unfolded the note in his hand...
