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

Because she was worried that Shen Rou was a repeat offender, Xiaoxiao would be caught when she wasn't paying attention.

So Shen Muxi was extra careful when taking the pulse this time.

Unexpectedly, Shen Muxi discovered something abnormal about Xiaoxiao's body.

Logically speaking, she had been giving Xiaoxiao acupuncture for nearly half a month. Even if Xiaoxiao didn't wake up, her hands and feet should no longer be cold.

But now, not only are her hands and feet cold and she shows no signs of waking up, even her pulse is the same as it was half a month ago...

Logically, if the prince really valued Xiaoxiao as much as the rumors said, he would take care of Xiaoxiao strictly according to the requirements she wrote.

Xiaoxiao can't be like this...

Shen Muxi instinctively glanced at the other servants serving on the side.

The maids and servants serving on the side were quick and skillful, with respectful attitudes, and even their expressions exuded obedience from the inside out. This was not the result of a short-term training.

"The prince doesn't want Xiaoxiao to wake up."

Shen Xi spoke out the answer in Shen Muxi's heart.

Shen Muxi looked at Gu Xiaoxiao who was still in a coma with concern.

He agreed with Shen Xi's statement.

The entire Nanyuan region knew that the Crown Prince valued this daughter born to him by his "beloved woman"...

That touching story made anyone who heard it sad and anyone who saw it cry. If the "daughter" the prince was talking about was not Shen Muxi's biological daughter, even Shen Muxi would have almost believed it.

Recalling the man's affectionate and tearful look before.

I also remembered that not long ago, I heard that the Crown Prince was impeached by the ministers for his absurd behavior...

Although Shen Muxi didn't know the inside story, he could guess a little bit: he was just addicted to the pleasures of the opera world and let his fiancée take care of his unconscious daughter...

Suddenly.

A terrible thought emerged in Shen Muxi's mind——

Is it possible that Murong Jingyan is now calculating on both sides?

Maybe he didn't intend to involve her at first, but she happened to come to his house, and he knew that she knew a little about medicine, so he simply included her in the plan.

This way, everything makes sense—

When she examined Xiaoxiao, she found that the fundamental reason why she couldn't wake up was congestion. She has been giving her acupuncture to promote qi and blood circulation these days, and even the medications are aimed at the symptoms of congestion and coma. How is it possible that she still can't wake up?

Perhaps it was because Murong Jingyan knew that if Xiaoxiao woke up, and if Xiaoxiao's non-cooperation was discovered by someone with ulterior motives, then everything he had arranged before would be in vain.

Because of this, he didn't follow her instructions to take care of Xiaoxiao and give her medicine...

Let the ministers know that this "fiancée" of the emperor's marriage is taking care of the concubine's daughter, and then submit a joint impeachment...

Murong Jingyan wanted exactly this effect.

Shen Muxi realized it belatedly and was surprised to find that she had unknowingly fallen into his trap.

As her heart was filled with fear, a surge of anger quickly spread from her chest, and her face became gloomy.

I knew this man was two-faced, but I never thought he could be so sinister...

"Mu Xi, the prince had no intention of waking Xiao Xiao up from the beginning, so... the previous doctors were helpless. Maybe your every move now is under his control.

If I really do something, it will probably alert the enemy, and then Xiaoxiao will be the one who gets hurt..."

Shen Xi's persuasion calmed Shen Muxi down.

Indeed, Xiaoxiao sleeping soundly here now may be the best outcome.

after all...

Once Xiaoxiao wakes up, she doesn't know how many eyes will be staring at her and want to harm her.

Shen Muxi didn't care whether Murong Jingyan's facade would be torn apart.

But she couldn't ignore Xiaoxiao's safety.

Thinking of this, Shen Muxi couldn't help but take Xiaoxiao's pulse again.

Apart from drowsiness and blood stasis, there were no other major problems, and the servants took good care of him.

visible...

Apart from not letting Xiaoxiao wake up, Murong Jingyan did not treat Xiaoxiao badly...

Shen Muxi thought for a moment and made a difficult decision.

"For now, let's not alert the enemy. Let's go back and find someone to thoroughly investigate the Crown Prince's past..."

Shen Muxi has researched and researched the prince's past, but...

She always felt strange.

Murong Jingyan's past is complicated and simple at the same time, and it can be found out with just a little research.

Some things that seem difficult to find can be found with a little effort...

This doesn't fit with Murong Jingyan's duplicity and sinister ways...

...

Half an hour later, Shen Muxi left Xiaodong Palace.

After the heavy snow, the sky became bright.

The scorching sun shines on the street, but there is no warmth at all.

The carriage moved slowly along the street.

From time to time, you can hear the cries of vendors and the noise of children playing snowball fights.

A gust of cold wind occasionally came in through the gaps in the car window.

Shen Muxi was upset and raised his hand to close the car window, but saw a familiar figure flash past the window.

"Is that man the prince?" Shen Xi also saw it.

"It's him."

Looking at the direction the figure left, Shen Muxi had an idea and quickly followed.

...

The carriage followed all the way to the Pear Garden in the south of Yecheng.

"The prince seems to have gone into the Pear Garden."

Shen Xi spoke.

"I saw it too."

Shen Muxi responded in a low voice.

She smoothed her fox fur coat and told the driver, "I want to go in and listen to a play. Come back later."

"Yes."

After the driver left, Shen Muxi looked up at the huge gold-painted plaque in front of him - Pear Garden.

Most people in Nanyuan love to listen to operas, so opera theaters are very common in Nanyuan.

However, this was the first time Shen Muxi had seen a plaque so large and so arrogant.

Unlike other theaters that are only open in summer and autumn, Liyuan is open all year round.

The female roles that perform in the Liyuan Opera are among the most famous in the entire Nanyuan, and most of them are handsome men.

Therefore, the price of admission is not cheap.

"Fifteen taels of silver? Just for a tea seat, with sunflower seeds and snacks charged separately. Three hundred taels for a show? Why doesn't it just go and rob?"

Shen Xi was howling beside him.

Shen Muxi paid the money happily.

"There are only a few spots left. If you delay any longer, they will all be taken soon."

After entering the Liyuan Opera House, Shen Muxi finally understood why the tea seats here were so expensive.

From a toothpick to the entire stage, there is no place in the opera world that is not exquisite.

Fifteen taels of silver is the threshold.

Everyone present was dressed elegantly, both men and women, and it seemed that they all had their favorite female roles.

There is always cheers and applause for every performance.

Inexplicably, Shen Muxi recalled the time when she was at Beichen Rongjun Prince's Mansion...

Although the actor's facial features were covered tightly with heavy makeup, his whole demeanor made it clear that he was not someone to be trifled with.

I don't know if the actor escaped from danger later...

As if he had sensed something, Shen Muxi raised his eyes and looked to the right front of him.

Among the layers of figures in brocade clothes, Shen Muxi recognized the tall figure at a glance.

Murong Jingyan!!
