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

Shen Muxi and Xia Chan glanced at each other inconspicuously.

The two wanted to say something else.

Several guards following Wu Lin had already placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.

Wu Lin has made up his mind to take Murong Jingyan away.

Can...

Disguise is disguise.

If Wu Lin really wants to force it.

The people in the main bedroom will inevitably have a fierce battle with the palace guards.

Exposing it too early would be detrimental to the implementation of Murong Jingyan's plan.

Thinking of this, Shen Muxi made a decision in his heart.

"It's not that I don't trust Commander Wu..."

She pulled Xia Chan aside and followed closely as Wu Lin and the others strode forward.

"I just feel that this time the news from the palace came so suddenly..."

No matter what Shen Muxi said, Wu Lin turned a deaf ear to it.

Until they arrived at the main bedroom.

He Hong walked back and forth outside with a serious expression on his face.

After seeing Wu Lin, the solemnity on his face immediately returned to his usual friendliness.

"Crown Princess, you are here, this is..."

Shen Muxi quickly explained, "This is the military commander of the palace, who has been ordered to invite His Highness into the palace."

He Hong looked embarrassed, "But His Highness is still injured..."

Wu Lin took the trouble to make another promise to He Hong.

He Hong sighed, "It's not that you guys are going to hurt His Highness, but that he's already seriously injured, and you're moving him around. What if he gets even more injured..."

Wu Lin's face suddenly turned cold.

His eyes moved back and forth between Shen Muxi and He Hong's faces, and finally fixed on He Hong's face again.

"What do you mean?

Don't forget that Nanyuan is just a defeated country of Beichen. It was because of tribute that we had two opportunities to make friends with it over the years.

Although you are a guest when you come home, there is no reason for you to become the host.

It was the Emperor's order to allow His Highness Nanyuan and the Crown Princess to enter the palace together. You have repeatedly obstructed my work. Are you trying to disobey his order?"

His voice was cold.

The expression became even colder.

It's obvious that it's a situation that can't be delayed, let alone negotiated.

Shen Muxi took a step forward and was about to sprinkle medicine powder at Wu Lin and the others.

Almost at the same time, the door of the main bedroom opened from the inside.

He Xuan walked out slowly from the master bedroom, with fatigue that could not be concealed between his brows.

"Our Highness was seriously injured in Beichen. His Majesty, being so kind, granted His Highness rest and recuperation. How could he change his mind so suddenly? There must be some misunderstanding..."

His voice was not loud and was hoarse.

But the attitude is very good.

Successfully calmed down Wu Lin, who was already furious.

His tone softened slightly, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll know after we take a trip."

The attitude is still tough.

Shen Muxi glanced at He Xuan, who shook his head slightly at her.

Shen Muxi immediately understood what he meant - Murong Jingyan was back.

It seemed to confirm her thoughts.

Murong Jingyan's weak voice sounded from the bedroom.

"It's my fault that the Emperor is worried about me, so I have to make this trip."

He came out tremblingly, supported by another guard dressed as a servant.

Not only did Shen Muxi's expression change, but Wu Lin's expression also became extremely subtle.

"Your Highness, what brought you back to consciousness?"

Murong Jingyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I was woken up by the fire, and then I heard some noise outside..."

After he said these two simple sentences, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

Wu Lin nodded slightly and bowed to Murong Jingyan, "I hope Your Highness can cooperate and not make things difficult for me."

Murong Jingyan nodded slowly at him, then his eyes fell on Shen Muxi, "Xi'er, come here and support me."

When the name "Xi'er" came out, Shen Muxi shuddered and goose bumps instantly covered her back.

Although she was not used to it, she had a gentle smile on her face.

Just took a step.

The piercing pain from her ankle instantly brought her back to reality.

Murong Jingyan's expression changed. "What's wrong? Is your foot injured?"

He wanted to fly to Shen Muxi to check.

However, he was so weak that he needed someone to support him, so he could only stand there and worry.

"Have you called a doctor?"

Wu Lin couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

He just said "I'm sorry" to the two of them, and then he was about to lead them into the palace.

Murong Jingyan's expression turned cold. "Is this how Commander Wu treats visitors? My princess's foot has been sprained. Shouldn't we first call a doctor to bandage it and take a look?"

He looked extremely exasperated.

Wu Lin spoke calmly, "Once you enter the palace, there will naturally be an imperial physician. As for how you two will enter the palace, I have already made arrangements. Your Highness, don't worry."

"If she's not your wife, you're definitely not in a hurry."

Because he was angry and weak after "just waking up", Murong Jingyan gasped for a long time after saying this.

Wu Lin and a few of his subordinates stood there like wooden statues.

Let Murong Jingyan "go crazy on the spot."

In the end, it was Shen Muxi who stepped forward and soothed him gently for a long time before he calmed down his anger.

"This time, I will not argue with you for the sake of my Crown Princess. However, my Crown Princess and I are currently unable to move around easily. You can't let me and my Crown Princess walk to the Yangxin Palace."

It takes at least half an hour to walk from the palace gate to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After walking, Shen Muxi's legs were almost broken.

"It's natural."

Wu Lin smiled and agreed to Murong Jingyan's request.

I cursed in my heart: Idiot.

After He Hong and Xia Chan helped Murong Jingyan and Shen Muxi onto the carriage, they were about to follow when they were stopped by Wu Lin.

"You two can leave later and wait at the palace gate."

He Hong wanted to say something, but he saw Murong Jingyan open the curtain of the carriage window and said, "You guys will pick us up at the palace gate later."

Now that the master has spoken, He Hong has no choice but to respond.

Shen Muxi saw that there were only her and Murong Jingyan in the carriage.

He immediately came up to Murong Jingyan and was about to speak.

Wu Lin also came in.

Shen Muxi: "......"

There really wasn't any time or space left for her and Murong Jingyan.

She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and she reached out to hold Murong Jingyan's arm, saying softly, "If your highness is tired, you can lean on me."

In front of outsiders, Shen Muxi tried her best to fulfill her duties as a wife.

Every time the carriage bumped, she would hug Murong Jingyan tightly.

When she put Murong Jingyan down, she always looked at him with a distressed expression.

"Your Highness, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Murong Jingyan always held Shen Muxi's hand tightly and shook his head gently, "It's okay, it's my fault for making my wife worry."

The emotion in his eyes was intense.

If she hadn't known that Murong Jingyan was once a good opera singer, she would have almost thought that Murong Jingyan was really in love with her.

There are always some inappropriate thoughts in my mind.

Shen Muxi interrupted her thoughts and looked at Wu Lin, who was sitting on the other side of the carriage and staring at their interaction.

At this moment, her dislike for Wu Lin was completely revealed on her face.

"I didn't expect that Commander Wu actually has this little habit."

What kind of good person would stare at the interaction between a couple without blinking when they are deeply in love?

Wu Lin remained calm and ignored Shen Muxi's displeasure and sarcasm. "It's my duty. I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me."

Wu Lin refused to listen and insisted on staring at her.

Shen Muxi wanted to ask Murong Jingyan anything but couldn't.

It seems that after entering the palace, we can only rely on tacit understanding.

Thinking of this, Shen Muxi couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

She and Gu Shi had been together for several years but still couldn't develop tacit understanding.

Not to mention having one with Murong Jingyan.

Murong Jingyan seemed to sense her low mood and silently reached out to cover her head.

The carriage was filled with the aroma of medicine mixed with the smell of blood.

The night is deep.

The street was so quiet that the only sound was the sound of carriages passing by.

Wu Lin's face was calm, but the veins on the back of his hand, which was holding the hilt of the knife the whole time, were bulging.

It was not until he reached the palace gate that he relaxed his grip on the hilt of the sword.

Considering that Murong Jingyan "just woke up" and Shen Muxi was a patient who had not had time to see a doctor.

He was very considerate and arranged a sedan chair for the couple in the palace.

"This is the Emperor's grace."

The couple once again expressed their gratitude to Fu Yuanhuai in front of Wu Lin.

Still in the Yangxin Palace.

But it's different from during the day.

At this time, the people in the Yangxin Palace became the second princess Fu Yongxu and Prince Rong Gu Shi.

At this moment, the two of them were kneeling on the ground, which made Shen Muxi feel absurd as if they were caught having an affair.

Just as she stepped into the Yangxin Palace with the help of the palace maids, Fu Yuanhuai's voice came from the high seat.

"Gu Shi abused his authority and disturbed the princess. This month, you will be confined to the mansion to reflect on your mistakes, and you will also be fined one year's salary."

"Thank you, my humble servant, for your grace."

After Gu Shi kowtowed to express his gratitude, he stood up and walked away.

When passing by Shen Muxi, his body stiffened slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

While Shen Muxi ignored Gu Shi, Murong Jingyan had already supported his weak body to greet Fu Yuanhuai.

"I have met His Majesty."

Fu Yuanhuai obviously didn't expect that he would actually invite Murong Jingyan, who had "woke up".

He immediately stood up from the dragon throne.

"Is Xiao Jing awake?"

He showed a look of surprise, but did not let Murong Jingyan get up.

Murong Jingyan's face was pale at this time, and his whole body was filled with a strong sense of death.

It can be seen that the rumor that he was seriously injured a few days ago was not true.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Jing, I'm fine."

He said he was fine, but his body was already shaking.

But Fu Yuanhuai seemed to be blind to it. "Originally, this matter shouldn't involve you and your Crown Princess, but my daughter has always said that this is about you and your Crown Princess, so I still let you into the palace tonight."

As Fu Yuanhuai spoke, he looked at Fu Yongxu with a look of disappointment, "Now that Crown Princess Nanyuan is here, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly in front of her."

"Father, I must marry Murong Jingyan, otherwise..."

"Okay, you can shut up now."

When facing Fu Yongxu, Fu Yuanhuai was like an ordinary father.

Emotions show on one's face.

Just now, he was obviously angry at Fu Yongxu's words.

His expression was extremely ugly, and even the tone in which he told her to shut up was extremely cold.

Then he shifted his sharp gaze back to Shen Muxi, with a smile on his face, "My child, I have spoiled you rotten. However, after careful consideration, since you Nanyuan came here to promote friendship between the two countries, then it would be a good idea for the princess and the prince to become friends."

"emperor."

Murong Jingyan wanted to interrupt Fu Yuanhuai from continuing to speak.

Fu Yuanhuai's eyes fell on Shen Muxi.

"Crown Princess, what do you think?"

Shen Muxi slowly clenched his fists, but his tone was very calm, "Since ancient times, the husband is the leader of the wife. Shen Xi respects the wishes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in everything."

Murong Jingyan held Shen Muxi's hand and said, "I have a deep relationship with the Crown Princess and have never thought of taking a concubine."

Fu Yongxu said in disbelief, "Murong Jingyan, it's your blessing that this princess has taken a fancy to you, and you actually want me to be your concubine?"

"Princess, please respect yourself. In my heart, there is only my Crown Princess." When Murong Jingyan spoke, he didn't even glance at Fu Yongxu.

Instead, it was Shen Muxi who looked into Fu Yongxu's eyes the first time she looked over.

Ok.

The whites of his eyes were a light blue-gray, and it looked like he had taken half a hundred-year longevity pill.

She moved closer to Murong Jingyan without leaving any trace, putting some distance between herself and Fu Yongxu.

At this time, Fu Yongxu's thoughts were still on what Murong Jingyan had just said.

The expression on his face kept changing.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something funny.

He smiled at Murong Jingyan and said, "I almost believed your lies."

She spoke confidently, "Don't think I don't know. Before you married the Crown Princess, you even had a concubine. The one you loved wasn't your Crown Princess at all. You rejected me only to prevent your concubine from being wronged. I promise you, even if I become your wife in the future, I will still treat your daughter as my own."

Murong Jingyan glanced at her calmly and said, "No need."

When had Fu Yongxu ever been looked down upon like this?

In particular, she thought she had made great sacrifices.

Unexpectedly, the other party even looked at her with a leer.

She was so angry that her mind went blank and her eyes turned red on the spot.

"You...you are going too far."

"Why doesn't Your Highness marry the princess? Doesn't the princess know what's going on?"

Shen Muxi spoke in a cold voice.

"For these years, you have been running rampant in your capital, Beichen. You rob anyone you like and kill anyone you dislike. You treat human life as worthless as grass. Your Highness is the crown prince of Nanyuan, the future monarch. If people knew that he came to Beichen and married a woman who enjoys killing innocent civilians, how could your Highness succeed to the throne of Nanyuan?"

Shen Muxi's words were sanctimonious and every word was in line with Fu Yuanhuai's declared national policy of "governing the country with benevolence and conquering the world with virtue."

Both publicly and privately, it directly cut off the possibility of her marrying Murong Jingyan.

"You...you bitch, everything is your fault."

Fu Yongxu instinctively wanted to raise the whip in her hand.

After waving the air away, she realized belatedly that she was in the palace and in front of her father.

Her expression changed involuntarily.

It's a pity it's too late.

Having lost face in front of Murong Jingyan, Fu Yuanhuai could no longer sit still.

"Naughty girl, what are you going to do?"

"Father, I..."

Fu Yongxu's mind was blank. She only remembered that her father asked her to enter the palace because he wanted the longevity elixir in her hand.

"Longevity Pill..."

Her brief opening was interrupted again by Fu Yuanhuai, "I always thought you were just a spoiled child, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious."

He looked at Fu Yongxu with extreme disappointment.

Then he shouted outside, "Someone come."
