[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 525 The Queen is Crazy 9

Concubine Hui was a famous stay-at-home girl in the harem. She would never step out of the Qionghua Palace unless necessary, and she and the second princess, Mu Rong, were also rarely seen in public.

Du Jingru had visited the Qionghua Palace several times at night before, but every time she went, her focus was on Concubine Hui.

Mu Rong was young and went to bed early, so when Du Jingru went over, she was already asleep.

Moreover, Du Jingru always lay on the roof looking down, so she couldn't see the faces of the people below.

Therefore, even though Du Jingru has been here for so long, she has never taken a close look at the second princess who is rumored to be "frail and sickly".

Mu Rong bowed to the two of them and said, "Greetings to the Imperial Sister and Madam Shu."

After the ceremony, she stood up straight and secretly looked at Du Jingru with curiosity.

Du Jingru was holding a small wicker flower basket and motioned her closer with a smile: "Come here, this is for you!"

Mu Rong showed a surprised expression. She came over, but resisted the urge to take it directly. Instead, she bowed and thanked Du Jingru first, then carefully picked up the small flower basket in Du Jingru's palm.

The small flower basket was very delicate. Mu Rong couldn't let it go. He held it up slightly and looked at it carefully.

His eyes were long and thin, and the area around his pupils glowed faintly blue in the sunlight.

Ok?

blue?

Du Jingru's eyelids twitched.

She turned to look at Mu Qing who was still showing off.

Well, just normal eyes, no blue.

Could it be that Mu Rong inherited Concubine Hui's genes?

Du Jingru rolled her eyes and asked with a smile, "Second Princess, why are you here alone? Where is your mother?"

Mu Rong was stunned, as if he finally remembered something. Panic appeared on his face, and he lowered his head and stammered: "I... I ran away secretly..."

She heard the palace maids in Qionghua Palace chatting and saying that many flowers in the garden were blooming, so she wanted to come over and take a look.

Concubine Hui always kept her under strict control and would not let her leave Qionghua Palace easily.

But Mu Rong is just a child after all, how could he really stay there?

So she sneaked out when no one was paying attention.

Du Jingru's smile deepened. "Second Princess, your mother will be worried if you're like this. It's getting late. How about I take you back?"

Mu Rong thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Madam Shu!"

Du Jingru asked someone to clean up the place, then stood up, took Mu Rong's hand, and the group walked towards Qionghua Palace.

She chose to walk along small paths that were usually deserted, making many turns and avoiding the palace maids from Qionghua Palace who were looking for Mu Rong.

After a while, they arrived at Qionghua Palace and met Concubine Hui, the housemaid who had lived there for a long time.

As soon as Concubine Hui saw Mu Rong, she rushed over, grabbed Mu Rong's shoulders, and shouted, "Where have you been? Do you know how worried I am! Why are you so disobedient?"

Concubine Hui slept late last night and got up an hour late this morning. Unexpectedly, the nanny who was taking care of Mu Rong came running to say that he was missing. She was so frightened that she didn't even comb her hair. She sent all the people out to look for Mu Rong and sat anxiously in the palace waiting for news.

Du Jingru quickly hugged Mu Rong and, seemingly unintentionally, led him to a well-lit area. She then turned around and gently advised Concubine Hui, "It's inevitable for children to be naughty. Don't scare her!"

Concubine Hui followed unconsciously, her head slightly tilted, her eyes glowing with a faint blue light under the sunlight.

Oh my, it really is inherited from Concubine Hui!

The blue in Concubine Hui and the Second Princess' pupils is very, very faint, and you can't see that hint of blue at all if you change the angle.

Only Du Jingru, with her extraordinary eyesight, could see that.

When she followed Concubine Hui into the room to drink tea, her eyes were even more ordinary, with no sign of anything unusual.

After drinking a cup of tea in Qionghua Palace, Du Jingru said goodbye and left with Mu Qing.

Back at Zhiluo Palace, Du Jingru held Mu Qing's face and looked at her left and right.

Mu Qing was squeezed out of the chicken's mouth and spoke incoherently: "Mother, what are you doing?"

Du Jingru let go of Mu Qing and frowned in thought: "Princess, who do you think has blue eyes?"

"Ah?" Mu Qing scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Du Jingru thought for a moment and then urged Mu Qing, "Princess, your father is very knowledgeable. Why don't you go and ask for your aunt's help?"

Du Jingru's memories come from her original self, who has a simple mind and has to figure out many things on her own.

Mu Qing blinked her big eyes. Although she didn't understand Du Jingru's intention, she nodded obediently and patted her chest and said, "Okay, leave it to me!"

Not knowing what Mu Qing said, Mu Chong came to Zhiluo Palace at night.

"Why are you asking about blue eyes all of a sudden?"

Mu Chong sat on the couch with his horse and golden sword, picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip: "In our Great Zhou, in the Central Plains, most people have dark black eyes. I've never heard of blue eyes."

Well, she had no idea, so Du Jingru could only shrug her shoulders.

Ever since Du Jingru went "crazy", although Mu Chong would occasionally come to Zhiluo Palace to see her, he never visited her again, let alone spend the night in Zhiluo Palace.

After he finished dinner with Du Jingru, he returned to the Yangxin Palace to continue reviewing memorials.

His neck was hurting after working for so long, so he stood up and walked around to loosen up his bones. When he looked up, he saw the sword hanging on the wall.

This sword was a trophy brought back by the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty when they conquered the Barbarian Kingdom's imperial court. It is said to be a treasure of the Barbarian Emperor.

The scabbard is inlaid with colorful gems, and the blade is extremely sharp and can cut through hair instantly.

This sword represents the highest sword-making craftsmanship of the Barbarian Kingdom and was hung on the wall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation by Emperor Zhengze as a decoration.

After Emperor Qingyuan and Mu Chong came to power, neither of them removed it.

In a flash, Mu Chong thought of Du Jingru's question.

The barbarian royal family has blue eyes!

Zhiluo Palace.

Du Jingru yawned, raised her eyelids, and looked at Mu Chong who had come over late at night without sleeping: "What's wrong?"

Mu Chong ignored Du Jingru's rudeness and continued to talk with a frown, "Back then, our dynasty conquered the Barbarian Kingdom and the Barbarian royal family was imprisoned in the capital. I once followed my father and brother to meet the Barbarian royal family. Their eyes were blue!"

Du Jingru:!!!

Her sleepiness disappeared immediately. "The Barbarian Royal Family? Weren't they all killed?"

When the assassination attempt happened, the original body's father Du Ying died while saving the emperor, and Emperor Qingyuan, who was still the crown prince, was accidentally injured and eventually died young.

Emperor Zhengze used an iron-blooded approach to hunt down and kill the barbarians, killing all the barbarians he could find.

Mu Chong was a little irritated, pacing around the bed. "The incident happened suddenly, and there are so many people in the Barbarian Country, so there are bound to be some who slipped through the net. Besides, our dynasty has been bordering the Barbarian Country for hundreds of years, and there are many people who have the blood of both countries. Although my father hates the Barbarian Country, he didn't take action against those people..."

He raised his eyes to look at Du Jingru: "However, blue eyes are only found in the royal family of the Barbarian Kingdom. How did you know this?"

Du Jingru silently raised a finger and pointed it at Mu Chong.

Mu Chong: ???

Du Jingru showed pity on her face: "Your little wife, Concubine Hui. Oh, and your little daughter, Princess Huayang, Mu Rong. They both have blue eyes~"

Mu Chong:!!!
