Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power

Yongle also quickly arrived at the scene. Seeing this scene, she shouted at the man, "Ouyang Yi, it's the dead of night, and you're not sleeping properly, but running here... What's the matter? Are you tired of sleeping on the bed in the mansion and want to switch to a straw mat?"

Ouyang Yi frowned and pretended to be annoyed and said, "I just couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried, so I thought I'd come out for a walk to relax!" After that, he slowly shifted his gaze to the small door, and then quickly glanced at Mu Yunxi who was standing beside him, muttering to himself, "It turns out that behind this door is the famous Mu Mansion!" In fact, he had known for a long time that the Mu Mansion was behind this door, and he used beauty to get it from a maid.

Ever since Mu Yunxi laid eyes on Ouyang Yi, she'd been gripped by an indescribable feeling of irritation and disgust. However, she was a seasoned woman, knowing full well that such negative emotions couldn't be easily revealed. Even so, Yongle, standing beside her, had keenly sensed her anomaly and quickly explained, "Despite all that has transpired, his status as the consort remains. Father has specifically ordered him to temporarily reside at the residence. Once matters in Youdu are resolved, he will be sent back to his native place."

Hearing this, Mu Yunxi just nodded expressionlessly and responded lightly: "Okay, I see." But her eyes were always fixed on Ouyang Yi, without any emotion in them. However, Ouyang Yi felt as if her eyes wanted to see through his appearance and see through his inner thoughts.

At this moment, Yongle spoke again: "Since the prince consort doesn't want to stay in his own courtyard, why not go to the side courtyard?"

Then, her face darkened again, and she ordered the guards in the palace in a cold tone, "Winter is about to come, and the prince consort is not feeling well. You must keep a close eye on him and never allow him to leave the courtyard. If he accidentally catches a cold in the wind, causing his condition to worsen and not recover, and if the outside world mistakenly thinks that I am intentionally mistreating the prince consort, you will be in big trouble! Do you understand?" The guards responded in unison, "Yes, Your Highness! As ordered!"

The guards responded in unison and quickly stepped forward to escort Ouyang Yi away. Ouyang Yi secretly regretted his actions, knowing full well that he had been careless. By this point, he understood Emperor Qing Zhao's intentions: to capture Youdu. If that happened, Emperor Qing Zhao would certainly not let him off easily. Sending him to the princess's residence was simply an attempt to have him killed there by the princess's hand.

When passing by this place during the day, Ouyang Yi had noticed this inconspicuous little door and secretly thought that perhaps he could escape from the princess's mansion from here. However, what he never expected was to unexpectedly run into Mu Yunxi here.

Elsewhere, Mu Yunxi and Yongle returned to the house together, but they were both silent the entire way. Yongle knew that Mu Yunxi's expression must be due to jealousy, so she quickly reached out and grabbed Mu Yunxi's arm. With a gentle tug, they both sat down on the chairs. Yongle blinked and said in a gentle voice, "Father sent this man here just today and specifically told me to deal with him. I was thinking of letting him disappear without anyone noticing. And to prevent him from getting suspicious, I didn't detain him. Who would have thought that this guy would actually sense something was wrong and try to escape."

After Yongle finished explaining the whole story, Mu Yunxi slowly turned around, staring straight into her eyes, and then asked word by word, "So, when you saw him again, did you ever feel any palpitations?"

Yongle's lips curled up slightly, revealing a bright and doting smile. She slowly loosened her arms from tightly hugging Mu Yunxi's arm, as if she was afraid of hurting her. Then, she raised her right hand and gently stroked her heart, her eyes filled with deep affection and concentration.

"Now, in my heart, there is only you. There is no room for anyone else!" Yongle said softly, his words brushing past Mu Yunxi's ears like a spring breeze.

Hearing this, Mu Yunxi's cheeks couldn't help but flush, but she quickly regained her composure and continued to ask, "Then how long do you plan to keep this person?" Her beautiful eyes stared at Yongle, as if trying to find the answer from her response.

Yongle's eyes were clear and bright, without the slightest hesitation or retreat. She met Mu Yunxi's concerned gaze steadily and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly as quickly as possible." Her voice was crisp and loud, and seemed to contain unwavering determination.

Mu Yunxi frowned slightly and said, "Then... three days, is that enough?"

However, Yongle shook his head without hesitation and responded confidently, "No, just one day is enough!" Her decisive words surprised Mu Yunxi, and she couldn't help but ask, "Oh? So what are your plans?"

Yongle's mouth corners lifted slightly, revealing a sly smile, and she whispered: "In my previous life, he strangled me to death with his own hands, and then announced to the outside world that I committed suicide by hanging. In that case, I will make him taste the same thing this time... hanging! Hehe!" After she finished speaking, she actually laughed out loud, as if she was quite proud of her plan, and as if she had really let go of her past experiences and pain.

Hearing this, Mu Yunxi's heart suddenly tightened, and an indescribable pain instantly surged up. She stretched out her arms and gently embraced Yongle in her arms, as if wanting to use her warm embrace to heal the scars deep in her heart that had not yet healed.

Yongle knew that Mu Yunxi was comforting her in her own way. So, she gently hugged the gentle woman in front of her and said softly, "Don't worry, I've really let it go."

However, Mu Yunxi suddenly said something unexpected: "He's not even dead yet, and you've just let him go like that?" Hearing this, Yongle was completely stunned, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond. When she finally came to her senses, she couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Mu Yunxi's slender waist, mumbling and complaining, "Oh, why didn't I realize you were so jealous before!"

Mu Yunxi replied stubbornly, "It doesn't matter who it is, but that person must not be him!" Seeing her determined expression, Yongle nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, everything is up to you. So... it's late now, shouldn't we rest early?" As he said that, Yongle sat on Mu Yunxi's lap and started to act coquettishly.

Seeing this, Mu Yunxi naturally understood that Yongle did not want to continue talking about the annoying topic just now, so she smiled slightly, gently picked up Yongle, stood up, and slowly walked towards the inner room.

Then the two of them lay down on the soft and comfortable bed together.

A moment later, Yongle's arm, as white as mutton-fat jade, suddenly stretched out from under the quilt, and he kept yelling, "Oh, it's so hot, I can't stand it!" Seeing this, Mu Yunxi quickly reached out and pulled Yongle's restless little hand back into the quilt. She carefully tucked the quilt in for her and gently reminded her, "Be good, it's cold outside. Cover yourself up quickly, and don't catch a cold."

Hearing Mu Yunxi's concerned words, Yongle responded obediently, "Yeah, okay." Then he dived into Mu Yunxi's arms and snuggled up to her tightly.
