"Xier!" he shouted in a low voice. What kind of medicine was it?

"Yes, it's just a little powder that can cause heart palpitations. The amount needed is not large. I usually put it in tea and drink it."

The pounding of his heart in his chest was like the beat of a drum against her head, and she subconsciously let it all out.

Powder for heart palpitations?

The ghost doctor had reminded him before that there was poison in his sister's body and asked him to investigate it thoroughly. However, there has been no progress. Could it be that his sister drugged herself?

Feng Xili's eyes flashed, and she glanced up secretly, meeting his frowning gaze.

"Sister, all medicines are toxic. The ghost doctor reminded me before, but I never found the cause, so I didn't tell you that there is residual poison in your body."

He nodded and looked at her, his meaning clear.

She felt complicated. She appreciated Mu Mu's concern very much, but she was reluctant to give up the few safe havens.

Alas~ Others who travel through time are bound to systems and attached to spaces, but for me, I finally found a cheat code, but I still have to poison myself. Why is it so miserable?

"Sister, your health is the most important. I only care about you." Hearing Mu Mu's confession suddenly, her heart moved and she put her arms around his waist.

"Okay." She agreed in a low voice.

"What's good about that? Sister, you're fooling me again." He pushed her shoulders away and bent down to look into her eyes.

My sister is like a loach. I can never catch her or hold her tightly. I feel like she will slip away at any moment.

Feng Xili took the opportunity to pat his head. The hair under her hand was soft and smooth, like the finest satin. She comforted him, "I won't fool you. Your body is the capital of revolution. I will take good care of myself."

"Keep your word!" He pulled down the hand that seemed to be petting a cat, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed.

She laughed, "Don't you trust me so much?"

"Sister, just take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about anything else." He looked confident.

"That won't do. You can't even take care of yourself, so how can I leave you alone?" She poked his chest and retorted angrily.

This guy was so firm when he promised me, but he didn't do it?

His heart choked and he couldn't refute.

The two fell silent. "Sister, why did Emperor Qi Zhao confer the title of Princess Liyou on you for no reason?" He couldn't help but ask.

She frowned. This matter was of great importance. She was not worried that Mu Mu would know about it, but she still didn't want her affairs to cause him trouble.

She whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty took me to the dragon vein of Shangli Kingdom. It felt like a blood test to identify a relative, but I don't know who he was identifying."

It didn't seem like she was acknowledging her master. If she had truly acknowledged her master at the dragon vein, wouldn't that have been a threat to the throne? Wouldn't Emperor Qi Zhao have killed her on the spot? How could he have even conferred upon her the title of Princess?

A gleam of light flashed in Mu Lanxun's eyes. Her sister really had royal blood!

However, what does Emperor Qi Zhao mean by this action?

"Master, the emperor has ordered you to enter the palace." Yuanri's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Feng Xili shuddered all over, pushed him away, and adjusted her clothes in a panic.

He looked at her bewilderment with amusement, "Sister, the envoys from Chu State will arrive tomorrow. This time they should be planning a marriage. I may be very busy recently. You just wait for me obediently."

If everything goes smoothly this time, he will be able to get the Prime Minister's approval. As for Emperor Qi Zhao, he is so cautious and secretive even when recognizing his sister. I'm afraid he is not sincere.

"Marriage?" She looked at him doubtfully. Of all the methods the imperial family could come up with to consolidate the friendly relations between the two countries, marriage was the most effective.

"Well, my sisters and the youngest sister are here too." He tucked the hair that was curled at her temples behind her ears and looked at her with a smile.

Hmm... a thirty-something old man wants to marry several teenage girls. She curled her lips, what a wicked feudal society.

"Master." Yuanri outside the door was urging him to wait, and it was inappropriate to let Emperor Qi Zhao wait.

She smoothed the wrinkles on his collar, looked him up and down, and smiled with satisfaction, "Our Mu Mu is so handsome!"

Mu Lanxun's eyes were filled with tenderness. He walked up to her, held her face, and kissed her on both cheeks.

"I'll give it back to you." A drunken voice floated into her eardrums, and she felt half of her body go numb instantly, starting from her ears.

Where did this brat learn this?

After Mu Lanxun left, the temperature in the study suddenly dropped several degrees. She looked at this simple study and found it was cleaner.

In the huge room, there was only a bookshelf, a few books on the bookshelf, a desk, some simple writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and two chairs, nothing else.

Her eyes were filled with tears. Mu Mu had a really hard time these years. If the original owner had not provided him with help frequently, he would probably have suffered from hunger and cold at such a young age.

Otherwise, he would not have resolutely jumped out to confront Xiao Ze, just because he didn't want his sister to jump into that fire pit.

If the original owner had not planted the trees first, she would not have been able to take advantage of the shade so easily.

She was originally walking towards the secret door, but unknowingly walked to the outside of Mu Mu's bedroom. She was stunned for a moment, and for some unknown reason pushed open the door.

What caught my eye was a slightly worn nanmu screen, an octagonal table, a wardrobe with double doors, and a soft couch leaning against the window.

His bed was covered with a not-too-thick mattress, a dark blue quilt that had become somewhat pale from washing, and a soft pillow that he had given him a few days ago.

Her heart ached dully. If Mumu had not been sent here as a hostage, if he had always lived with his parents, he would have grown up to be a young man as bright as the moon and gentle breeze, instead of living under someone else's roof and leading a cautious life like he is now.

She could understand his desire for power and status at such a young age, not only so that he could do what he wanted to do in the future, but also so that he could refuse what he didn't want to do.

"Xia Feng." She called softly while standing beside the table.

A gust of wind blew the hem of her skirt, "Girl." A somewhat unfamiliar voice came from behind.

She closed her eyes, but Mu Mu still put someone beside her.

Yuanri is in the open, so she can't always follow him. Chun Geng works in secret, and Xia Feng follows her. Except when Mu Mu enters the palace, she only has one person to protect her.

"Chu Guo, can you tell me what the current situation of the princes in the country is?" She pulled over a stool and sat down silently, looking at Xia Feng.

"Just pick out what you can tell." She smiled, not wanting to pry into any secrets.

Ever since the last incident in Phoenix City, Xia Feng has been sincerely grateful to Feng Xili. There have been too many strange things happening to this girl, but fortunately, she has no ill will towards her master, and her master also... cares about her very much.

"There are a total of twenty-one princes in the Chu Kingdom." Xia Feng began to describe the situation of the Chu Kingdom's royal family without hesitation.

She was shocked. Twenty-one? And just princes?
