Unexpectedly, Jiang Mingwei yelled out for her all of a sudden as the people on both sides were startled before everyone turned their sights on her.
Mu Mingtang suddenly became the focus of attention, so she could only stop, raise her eyebrows and said, “I’m just going outside to look for the Prince. What does Princess Jin think I’m going to do?”

But all of this had not yet happened. The Beirong just invaded the border and they were still far away from the capital with several military lines of defence blocking their path in the middle. Although everyone was shocked now, no one ever considered that the Ye Dynasty was about to face the disaster of subjugation.
Jiang Mingwei clearly knew about the future’s development but couldn’t say it. At this moment, she moved her lips and finally she could only cover it up with a lie, “I’m not misunderstanding my sister-in-law. I just saw you walking out and I was worried that my sister-in-law would encounter accidents upon wandering around, so I just wanted to remind you.”
Remind me? Mu Mingtang didn’t think so. Looking at Jiang Mingwei’s expression just now, it seemed almost as if she wanted to stop her from leaving.
Mu Mingtang felt that Jiang Mingwei’s behaviour was very strange, but there was more to it than meets the eye. Many times prior to this incident, Jiang Mingwei had done some things that seemed unbelievable at first glance such as avoiding fire during the Lantern Festival last year and negotiating peace.
A lot earlier, her suddenness to change her mind to marry Xie Xuanji was also rather surprising, but it was also a mystery.

Mu Mingtang took a few glances at Jiang Mingwei, temporarily suppressing her suspicions. Now was not the time to force the truth out of her since the upcoming war was the most important thing.
Mu Mingtang continued to walk forward. At this moment, everyone in the hall was watching her movements. Mu Mingtang ignored it and when she walked to the door, she suddenly saw a familiar figure trailing down the steps.
“Your Highness!” Mu Mingtang couldn’t help shouting. She couldn’t care less about anything else as she lifted her skirt and ran down the steps. Xie Xuanchen also walked towards her quickly when he heard her familiar voice.
Mu Mingtang dragged the fabric with her long, droopy sleeves as the hem of the dress left a bright trace on the steps. Mu Mingtang ran to Xie Xuanchen’s side as he reached out and caught her firmly, “I’m here.”
With so many disturbances, Mu Mingtang didn’t relax her mind until she saw Xie Xuanchen. The Prince didn’t shy away from the many gazes either as he hugged Mu Mingtang in front of everyone and said in a low voice, “It’s okay, I’m here.”
Mu Mingtang threw herself into Xie Xuanchen’s arms with uncontrollably sore eyes. Surrounded by familiar auras, she calmed down instantly. Only then did she remember that she was in the palace and behind her was the Fuqing Palace where the court celebration was held, where many women and relatives of the clan were watching from behind.
