After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

Shen Muxi bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise and has finally given justice to my mother. My mother will thank you."

The process is not important; what is important is that the goal has been achieved.

"I beg Your Majesty to allow me to move my mother's grave back to the Gong family's ancestral tomb soon, so that she can always be with her grandparents and uncles."

Gong's biological mother died early, and General Gong was often away fighting. Gong was almost raised by her two brothers, and the brother-sister relationship was extremely deep.

If the general's family had not had three heroes, how could Gong Shi not even have someone to speak for her?

Shen Muxi originally thought that the argument might continue for a while.

Unexpectedly, Murong Mingkun easily agreed to Shen Muxi's request this time.

"Originally, this is against etiquette. In the end, I was in the wrong first, and the Shen family was shameless later. I agree."

Shen Muxi's eyebrows and eyes quickly showed joy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Just as she was about to leave, Murong Mingkun stopped her.

"The Crown Prince has been in a coma because the Little East Palace has been so cold and deserted. Are you willing to marry the Crown Prince early to bring him happiness?"

He looked like he was asking a question, but in fact his tone was very firm and powerful.

A flash of panic quickly crossed Shen Muxi's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"But the prince is still in a coma, your servant..."

Murong Mingkun waved his hand at her, "Alright, let's arrange it this way. After all, the mission to Beichen is imminent.

If the prince doesn't wake up, someone has to step forward..."

At this point, Murong Mingkun looked at Shen Muxi seriously, "Back then, the Gong family was full of loyal and brave men. You have the blood of the Gong family in your body, so you are more suitable than anyone else."

The word "suitable" directly determined Shen Muxi's future.

This time, Shen Muxi did not refute.

"Your Highness, I obey your command."

"Alright, this is the true Gong bloodline," Murong Mingkun nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead."

Shen Muxi lowered his head and left the Yangxin Palace.

Until Shen Muxi disappeared from view, Murong Mingkun still looked at the direction where Shen Muxi left with a hint of amusement.

The personal eunuch brought a red pill and a cup of clear red tea.

"Your Majesty, it's time to use the elixir."

Murong Mingkun quickly swallowed the pill with water.

The drug was taking effect, and his face flushed red. He asked his personal attendant with a seemingly unintentional smile, "What do you think of Shen's performance?"

The eunuch changed his arrogant attitude and immediately spoke in a flattering manner, "Miss Shen is smart and resourceful. Every step she takes goes beyond your Majesty's expectations and brings you unexpected joy. It would be wonderful if she could always be by your Majesty's side."

Murong Mingkun nodded with satisfaction, his eyes dark and thick, "I think so too."

I wonder how many surprises this unconventional woman can bring him on the couch.

Perhaps the magic medicine took effect. As soon as he thought of Shen's face, a heat quickly surged to a certain part of his body.

Upon seeing this, the eunuch immediately ordered, "Call in Concubine Chen and Concubine Wu."

...

The palace maid took Shen Muxi away with her all the way, and she behaved very humbly.

It was not until she left the majestic palace gate and boarded the carriage of the Little East Palace that she lowered her brows and looked submissive.

Hongdou started to feel nervous when she saw Shen Rou and her daughter being dragged out not long ago.

I was afraid that the next one to be dragged out would be Shen Muxi.

Fortunately, Shen Muxi got out of it on his own.

Although there was a lingering gloom between his brows, at least he was intact.

"Miss, did the emperor tell you anything?"

Shen Muxi frowned, forcing a wrinkle between her eyebrows. "The Emperor allowed me to move my mother's grave to the Gong family's ancestral tomb, and allowed me to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince early to bring good luck. He also mentioned the matter of my mission to Beichen as an envoy."

Hongdou nodded, seeming to understand, "The wedding and the relocation of the grave were things that the young lady had anticipated, but..."

At this point, Hongdou paused, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, "Going to Beichen as an envoy..."

Not long ago, the Emperor bestowed a green card in the palace, hinting that the young lady might enter the palace in the future. Now, he has taken the initiative to bring up the matter of a diplomatic mission...

Something doesn't sound right.

"I suspect," Shen Muxi sneered, "that he wants to use this mission as an opportunity to tame me."

Many people knew what the Crown Prince’s previous mission to Beichen meant.

Murong Mingkun couldn't possibly not know.

But he said it anyway.

She didn't even need to guess, she could already foresee that before long, someone would "talk nonsense" in front of her and say something different from what others had said about the actual situation of the mission to Beichen.

Murong Jingyan was in a coma and had become a cripple. If she didn't want to die, she would naturally come to him and beg for mercy...

Being a man is nothing more than money, power and sex.

Thinking of this, Shen Muxi clenched his sleeves, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

"If he wants to do something to me, he'll have to see if he has the luck to do it."

Did he really think she was joking every time she went to see him?

...

Outside the Xiaodong Palace.

Shen Muxi met someone she never expected to appear.

"Du Heng? Why hasn't he left yet?"

I didn't notice it before entering the palace.

Only now did Shen Muxi realize that Du Heng was wearing a long gown of extremely poor quality.

Because he no longer had the aggressive attitude he had when facing Shen Rou, but instead looked a little depressed.

When he saw Shen Muxi, his eyes lit up slightly and he raised his leg to walk in front of her.

"Xixi..."

He was stopped by the guards outside the gate of Xiaodong Palace.

"Mr. Du, is there anything wrong?"

Du Heng's mouth moved slightly, and he finally said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, because before..."

He couldn't utter a single word after that.

He had always thought that Shen Rou was the victim, while Shen Xi couldn't stand the fact that Shen Rou had inexplicably become her stepsister, and did everything she could to hurt Shen Rou.

It was not until he discovered Shen Rou's true face that he realized how wrong he was.

After he stopped trusting Shen Rou, all the efforts Shen Xi had made for him finally had traces to follow.

he...

It seems like I have lost the person who used to be in my heart.

Du Heng's expression of regret was unpredictable.

In Shen Muxi's eyes, it was like a joke.

Her eyes were as cold as her tone. "It doesn't matter. No matter how many times you say sorry, I will never forgive you."

The real Shen Xi is dead.

She had no right to forgive anyone who killed her.

It seemed like it had been anticipated.

Du Heng smiled bitterly, "I know that this time I came here not only to apologize to you, but also to say goodbye to you."

"If you think that apologizing to me will make you feel better, regardless of whether I forgive you or not, then I'm sorry, you don't even deserve an apology."

After saying that, Shen Muxi walked into the Little East Palace without looking back.

At first, Du Heng didn't understand what was meant.

Until Shen Muxi entered the Little East Palace.

It was as if he had been slapped hard in the face that he finally reacted.

"Shen Xi, come out and tell me clearly what you mean."

"Shen Xi!!"

What do you mean you don't even have the qualifications to apologize?

He apologized to Shen Xi, but if he wasn't qualified to apologize, then did that mean that the person just now wasn't Shen Xi...

Looking back, even the people in the Shen residence felt that Shen Xi's personality had changed drastically since she woke up from the water...

Du Heng could no longer remain calm.

He wanted to break into the Xiaodong Palace like a madman, but was always stopped outside the door by the people from the Xiaodong Palace.

"Shen Xi, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for being rude."

If the person in Xiaodong Palace is not the real Shen Xi, then where did the real Shen Xi go?

Just when he was considering whether to make another big noise.

A maid in a pink vest appeared at the door and stared at Du Heng through the guards who blocked his spear.

"Mr. Du, do you think you can deepen your debt to my young lady?"

With just one simple sentence, Du Heng suddenly became like a shrimp with its thread pulled out, and his originally upright waist suddenly collapsed.

He looked at the little maid, wanting to ask a few more questions, but when he raised his eyes, the little maid had already walked away.

he...

I do owe Shen Xi a lot.

It felt like a huge hole was suddenly poked in my heart, and cold wind rushed in.

After the cold wind, the big hole could not be filled no matter what.

Bloody and empty...

There is still a dull pain.

He stumbled back a step.

He looked up at the three gilded words "Xiaodonggong" on the plaque, his lips moved slightly, and in the end he just left a sentence "I was wrong", and then left dejectedly.

The backyard of Xiaodong Palace.

Hongdou excitedly told Shen Muxi what she had just seen at the door.

There was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, showing relief.

"I've long disliked that young master. He actually dared to act so arrogantly in front of the young lady again and again. He didn't even consider that if the young lady hadn't worked tirelessly to refine medicine for the Marquis' wife, her physique wouldn't be as good as it is now. But he was so moved by that vixen's weak tears that he felt like he had lost his soul. He hit whatever the vixen pointed at him, and now he just wants us to forgive him with a simple apology? Who does he think he is?"

"Okay, don't talk about other people's gossip behind their backs."

Shen Muxi smiled and comforted Hongdou.

Long before going to Beichen, Shen Muxi had already treated Du Heng as another test subject.

Every time Du Heng came into contact with her, he was inhaling a poison called "Bone-penetrating Lovesickness".

From the moment Du Heng began to feel regretful, it was destined that he would not live long.

Inexplicably.

Shen Muxi thought of Gu Shi.

I don’t know what stage the Acacia Drunk poison in his body has reached now.

Is it the vomiting of blood that damages the heart meridian?

Or turn gray overnight?

Or, coughing up blood constantly?

"I wonder what important matter Miss Shen asked her subordinates to come here for?"

He Xuan's voice came from outside the house.

Shen Muxi quickly withdrew his thoughts.

"Let's go to the study and discuss it in detail."

...

In the study.

Looking at the complete character relationship diagram in their hands, He Hong and He Xuan's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Some people’s relationships, they don’t even guess at that aspect.

"Girl, where did this come from?"

Shen Muxi took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Some of it is guesswork, and some of it is fabricated."

As soon as she said this, He Hong almost choked on his own saliva.

"Guess...guess?"

He pointed back at a few of the pairs of people with hidden relationships, "How could you guess that?"

Shen Muxi glanced at him calmly, "Half-truths make it easier for people to believe. His Highness knows about this matter. You just need to muddy the waters. His Highness won't blame you."

"We are in a hurry. If you have anything to ask, please ask it all at once. We cannot make any mistakes now, otherwise, we, including His Highness, will all be in trouble."

Her tone was decisive, and also had a bit of the strategic planning that only those in a higher position could have.

He Hong and He Xuan straightened their backs at the same time and said, "Yes, I will do it immediately."

The imperial decree for the marriage came down soon.

With Murong Mingkun's intervention, the Ministry of Rites made arrangements very quickly.

In addition, the palace maids and eunuchs also came out to help.

However, it only took three days to redecorate the entire Xiaodong Palace and the County Lord's Mansion, which had been emptied of the Shen family.

Everything went smoothly and silky smooth.

On the day of the wedding, Shen Muxi wore a fiery red wedding dress and hugged Gu Xiaoxiao tightly in her arms, "Be good and listen to Hongdou and Luluo. When mother has finished everything, she will go to Danyang to pick you up."

I had already agreed with Gu Xiaoxiao a few days ago to send her away from Nanyuan.

But at that time, Gu Xiaoxiao was still crying and saying that she wanted to stay with Shen Muxi.

Until yesterday, she was still throwing a tantrum and said she didn't want to leave.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up this morning, the little girl actually took the initiative to admit her mistake...

"Xiaoxiao will be very good, mother, don't worry."

Before Shen Muxi had time to think about it, He Hong's urging voice came from outside the door.

"Girl, someone is coming from the palace."

Shen Muxi hurriedly handed Gu Xiaoxiao to Hongdouluolu.

The bridal sedan arrived, and the front door of the county lady's mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, making it very lively.

At the back door of the county lady's mansion, a low-key and exquisite carriage quietly left Yecheng.

At the same time, the carriage of Xiaodong Palace also slowly drove towards the imperial palace.

Half an hour later, in the palace.

He Yue brought a little girl who looked exactly like Gu Xiaoxiao and knelt respectfully in front of Queen Jiang.

"I've met my empress."

"This is Xiaoxiao, right?"

When Queen Jiang looked at the little girl, there was a loving smile on her face, but the smile did not show in her eyes at all.

He Yue nodded respectfully, "In reply to your Majesty, this is our little princess."

Queen Jiang took Xiaoxiao back to her throne and looked at her carefully. She also smiled at Murong Mingkun, who was standing beside her with an equally loving expression, "As expected of Yan'er's child, his features are exactly like his father's."

When mentioning Murong Jingyan, Queen Jiang's expression changed slightly, and she sighed, "What a pity..."

She didn't say the rest of the words.

Seeing He Yue still waiting by her side, she casually said, "You can go back to the Little East Palace now."

He Yue knelt on the ground, looking nervous, "Please, Madam, let me serve the little princess."

Queen Jiang glanced at Murong Mingkun silently.

The latter nodded slightly.

Only then did her expression relax.

"Forget it. During this time, you can live in the palace with the little princess."

After He Yue took the little girl away.

Queen Jiang then looked at Murong Mingkun.

"Your Majesty, is everything really okay with the Little East Palace?"

Murong Mingkun narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of meaning flashed across his eyes, "Even if there is a problem, he can't find any clues."
