The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 685 Going to an Appointment Alone

"Which sentence?" Xiao Yue asked.

The smile in Murong Yu's eyes faded, revealing the indifference hidden underneath.

"It was not my fault, and I don't need to feel ashamed."

Xiao Yue felt relieved and was about to speak when Murong Yu changed the subject.

"It's just that the world doesn't always measure fairness and right and wrong, so even if this prince has never done anything wrong, he will still be criticized. And if this is the case, Fifth Princess, please don't say it again in the future, so as not to cause trouble."

Xiao Yue's unspoken words were blocked like this. She looked at Murong Yu. The face in front of her still made her feel amazing, and even a little moved.

She wanted to speak again to comfort Murong Yu, but thinking of her current situation and the marriage hanging over her head, Xiao Yue no longer had any romantic thoughts and just nodded.

"Okay, this princess will remember this."

After leaving Huayue Tower, Xiao Yue thought of the appointment tonight and felt a little annoyed.

"Qiao Fu, do you think that if I don't return to the palace, will anyone find out?"

Qiao Fu was shocked. "Princess, why don't you go back to the palace? When we left the palace, although we got the emperor's permission, we must return before the palace gates are locked."

"Forget it, there's no use talking to you." Xiao Yue retracted his gaze and did not get on the carriage immediately. Instead, he walked slowly along the street, thinking about tonight's arrangements in his heart.

Once the palace gates were locked, the only way out was through Emperor Xiao's oral order or the Queen's token, both of which she definitely couldn't get.

In other words, once I return to the palace, I will definitely not be able to fulfill the agreement of meeting at 11 p.m. tonight.

Judging from Murong Yu's expression, it seemed that he really had a way, so she must go to the appointment tonight.

Never mind. At worst I could just say I wasted time wandering around, and when I rushed back the palace gates were closed, so I stayed outside the palace for one night.

After making the decision, Xiao Yue took Qiao Fu onto the carriage and ordered the eunuch driving the carriage to a place far away from the palace.

At nightfall, after repeated reminders from Qiao Fu and the eunuchs, Xiao Yue ordered his troops to slowly march towards the palace, but it was still too late.

She stopped the eunuch who wanted to try to knock on the door, and took them directly to the inn, and booked three rooms for them. She told them to go back to their rooms to rest and not to go out without her permission.

Xiao Yue knew the secret of this matter. If Emperor Xiao knew that she was secretly colluding with Murong Yu to sabotage the marriage, she would definitely suffer no good consequences.

So after thinking it over, Xiao Yue was so cautious that he didn't even bring Qiao Fu with him. Calculating that the time was almost up, he quietly left the room in the inn alone and went to the agreed place.

During the day, she had determined the agreed location under the pretext of strolling around. It was a restaurant, not far from the Xilin State Inn and not difficult to find.

The streets of the imperial city were quiet at night. Although it was not yet curfew, there were not many people around.

Xiao Yue arrived at the agreed place smoothly according to her memory during the day.

But before she could get closer, several men came towards her. They looked drunk and seemed to smell of alcohol.

Xiao Yue was startled and lowered her head, trying to walk past them quickly. They also saw Xiao Yue, and they grinned at each other and surrounded her.

"Young lady, where are you going alone at this late hour?"

"What does this have to do with you? Get out of the way!" Xiao Yue said angrily, trying to make her tone sound more ferocious.

However, this tone not only did not drive those people away, but instead made them laugh.

"Let's get to know each other, then the young lady's affairs will be our business!"

"That's right, young lady, tell your brothers where you are going. Are you planning to meet your lover in the middle of the night?"

"Hahahaha, what lover is there? Can't we all be the young lady's lover?"

"That's right, hahahaha..."

Xiao Yue frowned at the disgusting teasing and angrily scolded, "How dare you!"

After all, she had been a princess for so long, and her whole body was imbued with majesty. These impudent words made several people stunned for a moment, and it was obvious that they were reprimanded for a moment.

But this effect did not last long. Just as Xiao Yue pushed away one of the people who blocked her way and wanted to leave quickly, the person who was pushed away grabbed her arm.

"Looking at the delicate and weak little girl, I didn't expect she was also a hot pepper. We acted presumptuous, what can you do!"

Xiao Yue struggled hard to shake off the other person's hand, "Let go, do you know who I am? I'll give you one last chance. If you don't let go, I'll make sure you don't get away with it!"

Damn it, no matter what era, there are always such stinky men!

"You've put us in a difficult position. Hahahahahaha. Then tell me who you are. Are you a fairy from heaven, or a princess from the palace?"

The people around immediately chimed in, "Even if you are a princess, if you run into our arms tonight, you can't just leave like that!"

Xiao Yue was extremely angry, and seeing that she couldn't break free, she simply pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed the man's arm with it.

The man loosened his hand in pain, and Xiao Yue immediately took the opportunity to try to escape, but the person next to her was quick-witted and caught Xiao Yue again, slapping her in the face.

"How dare you lay a hand on my brother, you little bitch!"

Xiao Yue's cheek hurt from the beating. She was dizzy and said hurriedly, "How dare you! I am... the Eighth Princess!"

“Eighth Princess?” Several people looked at each other, then burst into laughter. “Hahahaha, we are still the emperor! Young lady, don’t dare to lie like that!”

"I'm not lying, I am indeed the princess. I have something to do now, so get out of my way quickly. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, none of you will survive. I will chop off your heads!" Xiao Yue shouted loudly.

But this scolding was met with even louder laughter.

The man whose arm had just been stabbed by Xiao Yue loosened his hand that was covering his arm and spoke to Xiao Yue in a vicious tone.

"You little bitch, you're not calling yourself a princess, you're really crazy. You dare to attack me? If you don't make me happy tonight, don't even think about leaving!"

As he spoke, he came forward and pulled Xiao Yue.

This time Xiao Yue was really panicked. She struggled hard and shouted for help.

"Help!"

"Let me go, I really am a princess, if you don't let me go, you will be sentenced to death!"

"Help, someone come!"

Xiao Yue's voice was sharp. Although there were not many people on the street, it still attracted people to come closer. A man spoke loudly.

"What are you guys doing? There are patrol officers right next to us, why don't you let him go!"

Seeing the commotion getting louder and hearing the words of the yamen runners, the men finally let Xiao Yue go. However, before leaving, they did not forget to threaten her viciously.

"You bitch, you're lucky this time. If you run into us brothers again, we'll make sure you're in trouble!"
