The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

The Divine Shadow Guard is the emperor's subordinate who specializes in investigating secret cases. His methods of investigating cases are also very impressive, but these things cannot be investigated just by using these methods.

Mu Xiyue had no idea that the emperor was carefully investigating her special abilities, and even if he knew, she would have been dismissive.

By the evening, the Divine Shadow Guard returned to the Imperial Study to report to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Miss Mu's palm was indeed burnt by lightning. Many young men and women were present at the scene. After Miss Mu swore a poisonous oath, Miss Mu followed suit. As soon as Miss Mu finished her oath, a bolt of lightning descended and struck her raised hand. Everyone present can testify that Miss Mu didn't move a muscle."

The emperor nodded, "Well, what else?"

"Doctor Xu diagnosed Anyuan Hou's wife's arms as frostbite. I asked Dean Lin about it. Ancient texts mention a poison called "binding ice" that can cause cold symptoms. If the poisoning lasts for more than a day, the hands and feet will become frostbitten. If the poisoning lasts for more than three days, the hands and feet will become necrotic. Dean Lin has only seen this poison in ancient texts. Furthermore, Anyuan Hou's wife only had frostbite and necrosis in her arms, so it doesn't seem like she was poisoned by "binding ice"."

The emperor nodded again and signaled the Divine Shadow Guard to continue.

"As for whether Miss Mu can truly heal her wounds so quickly, no one else has witnessed this. Yesterday, when the thunderbolt struck the Marquis Anyuan's mansion, Miss Mu and her maid were in the art gallery on Nan'an Street. They didn't come out until the gallery closed, and after that, they booked two rooms at the Laiyun Inn on Nan'an Street. I believe the thunderbolt incident had nothing to do with Miss Mu. Another thing: after Miss Mu severed her engagement with the Marquis Anyuan, she became very close to a man named Tan Tai Hong. Miss Mu called him "brother." I haven't been able to find any information about him yet, so would you please investigate?"

"Investigate in detail, go!" The emperor waved his hand to let them go, muttering, "Is he a person blessed by heaven?"

Since the Divine Shadow Guards found out that Mu Xiyue was in the art gallery when the thunder struck yesterday, it must have nothing to do with her. The story about her self-healing ability might be true. There are all kinds of strange things in the world. If she can use her true energy to heal others quickly, then it is not impossible for her to heal herself quickly.

Regarding the Anyuan Marquis' wife, if there was a poison like icy ice in this world, it was possible there were other poisons. Perhaps Mu Xiyue had some chance encounter, but it was definitely not as mysterious as Mu Fengnian described.

After the emperor figured it out, he stopped caring about it and decided to wait until Prince Jin came back to deal with everything. Now that Mu Xiyue had severed her relationship with Marquis Anyuan, perhaps Prince Jin no longer had any interest in her.

Mu Xiyue spent three days and actually bought her a house in the city. The house was located in the south of the city, near the west, and was considered a small mansion.

The imperial palace is located in the east of Shangjing City. The residences near the palace are basically those of royal children and ministers of the second rank and above, while the south of the city is mostly the residences of officials, and there are also a few wealthy businessmen. Most of the people living in the west and north of the city are ordinary people. There are still some wealthy families in the west of the city, and the residents in the north of the city are basically considered poor in Shangjing City.

The Anyuan Marquis Mansion is located in the south of the city, near the east. Although the mansion Mu Xiyue bought is also in the south of the city, it is still far away from the Anyuan Marquis Mansion and it takes a quarter of an hour to walk there.

The structure of this mansion was similar to other mansions, divided into front and back courtyards. The front courtyard contained a main hall, a side hall, and a larger room used for banquets. The backyard was divided into four smaller courtyards, two larger and two smaller, each separated by a small garden.

Although this mansion cannot be compared with the Marquis' Mansion, it is big enough for Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao, who are the only two of them.

This courtyard was originally the residence of a fifth-rank official. Later, the official was transferred from the capital and sold the house to a wealthy businessman. The wife and concubine competed for the businessman's favor, and the wife killed the concubine. Later, it was rumored that the house was haunted, so the businessman dared not live there anymore and moved to a farm on the outskirts of the city. However, because of the haunting, the house could not be sold.

Mu Xiyue didn't believe in ghosts, believing they were mostly man-made. A house like this would have cost at least 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver, but Mu Xiyue had lucked out, buying it for 8,000 taels.

When the house was being transferred, the agent at the real estate agency mentioned, "Miss Mu, since you've severed your relationship with Marquis Anyuan, why don't you start your own business?"

Mu Xiyue had never thought about the household registration issue before, but after this reminder, she realized that she should indeed set up her own business.

In the Tianqi Kingdom, female households can be established. Since the person was already living in the government office, they simply established a female household.

Xiao Yibai, who was far away in Jinyang City, received secret letters from Qi Feng for three consecutive days. Apart from the disappearance of blacksmiths from various places, the rest were all about Mu Xiyue.

Xiao Yibai originally thought that Mu Xiyue was still waiting for him in Xitongzhou, so he was busy with his work. He didn't expect that she had already returned to Shangjing and caused so many troubles. He was both distressed and angry. She didn't even think about waiting for him to go back to deal with things. What if something unexpected happened?

Fortunately, his business was almost over, and he hurried back early the next morning. Even if he traveled day and night, it would take him ten days to get back to Shangjing. He didn't know who the man who suddenly appeared next to Yueyue was.

On the way, Xiao Yibai received another secret letter from Qi Feng, saying that Mu Xiyue had left Shangjing and headed south. Xiao Yibai had a gloomy face the whole way. Going south, where to go? Mujia Village was also in the south. Maybe she went back to her hometown, but why did that man follow her? How abominable!

Mu Xiyue felt bored after staying in Shangjing City for a few days. Qi Feng said that Xiao Yibai was already on his way back to Beijing, and it would take another eight or nine days for him to arrive. Mu Xiyue thought about going out for a walk.

Of course, it was impossible for her to go back to Mujia Village. Although she had lived there before, that was Mu Fengnian's hometown. She had no relationship with Mu Fengnian now, so it was naturally no longer her hometown.

Mu Xiyue used to often hear people mention in Yun'an County that there was a town called Jiping about thirty or forty miles south of Yun'an County. There was a mountain called Prison Beast Mountain in Jiping Town. It was said that there were ferocious beasts such as wolves and white tigers in the depths of the mountain, as well as less harmful animals such as deer and golden monkeys. In other words, there were a rich variety of wild animals in the deep mountains. Mu Xiyue really wanted to go and see it, mainly because she wanted to catch a young wild animal and raise it.

In her previous life, she had caught mutant beast cubs and raised them, but the cubs were killed by zombies before they grew up. There were no zombies here, so it would be cool to raise a tiger or a wolf.

Tan Taihong had originally wanted to go along, but Mu Xiyue disagreed. Only Xiaotao knew about her space, and she didn't intend to let anyone else know. Entering a deep mountain with ferocious beasts, even though she and Xiaotao had special abilities and were unlikely to be in danger, what if they did encounter danger? She could take Xiaotao and hide in her space with her.

Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao didn't hire a carriage, they just rode away on horseback.

After running out of the city for a day, she was still being followed. Mu Xiyue was extremely annoyed. After so many days, someone was still following her. Who was following her? She shouldn't be that important!
