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

"In early summer last year, I disguised myself and entered the Rongjun Prince's Mansion, but was later tricked...

Xiaoxiao saved my life, and I originally only intended to repay her for this favor when she was in trouble, so that we would be even.

Unexpectedly, the people in Prince Rong’s Mansion didn’t want her to live.

When our people received the news and rushed over, they were still a step too late.

When we found her, her neck was almost broken and she was hanging on by a thread..."

Shen Muxi thought that since she had experienced watching her daughter being murdered at the scene, no matter how others mentioned this incident, she would not be more touched.

The moment she saw Xiaoxiao didn't struggle, she instinctively thought Xiaoxiao was dead.

She was so desperate that she didn't even dare to look at Xiaoxiao's appearance before she died.

Therefore, when she heard Murong Jingyan talk about Xiaoxiao's miserable situation, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Murong Jingyan ignored her sudden back turn and continued, "I think it was all thanks to that little bastard from Prince Rong's Mansion who had her yard set on fire. Otherwise, He Xuan might not have been able to take advantage of the chaos to rescue her."

By the time he finished speaking, Murong Jingyan had already straightened up and taken a step back.

He looked calmly at Shen Muxi's trembling back, and did not continue speaking.

Shen Muxi covered her mouth with both hands to prevent herself from making any sound.

She tried hard to hold back her tears, but they were like a flood that could not be stopped.

She couldn't calm down at all.

What weaknesses does she have in this world?

I guess it’s just Xiaoxiao.

Her uncontrollable love for Xiaoxiao was too obvious, and Murong Jingyan might have become suspicious long ago.

The reason why they kept silent before was probably because they had no evidence.

Today, he was able to call out her name so confidently, which probably meant he knew something.

If he denies it this time, given Murong Jingyan's suspicious nature, he might try it again with other methods...

It would be better to just admit it.

Thinking of this, Shen Muxi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned around.

"Your Highness is indeed not as simple as others see."

She admitted generously, "Yes, I am Shen Muxi."

Murong Jingyan stopped beating around the bush and asked, "What is your purpose?"

There was no denying that her medicine could help him.

only...

This time she gave him the medicine as a token of her loyalty, so she didn't do anything else.

But no one can guarantee what will happen next time or the next time.

Not to mention, Shen Xi really knows medical skills.

That's why he took a gamble by combining the information he already had with these recent coincidences that were too coincidental.

The bet was successful, everyone was happy, and he had one more powerful general under his command.

Wrong bet...

Then eliminate a major worry.

Shen Muxi didn't say anything.

Murong Jingyan had already sat down behind his desk.

Waiting patiently for her to speak.

The charcoal fire in the study was extremely hot, and Shen Muxi clearly felt a little short of oxygen.

She raised her eyes and met Murong Jingyan's gaze.

His eyes were indifferent and deep, without any sign of urgency, but rather a hint of leisure.

It was as if he was competing with Shen Muxi to see who had more patience.

Shen Muxi's eyes darkened, and a gentle smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness, you are joking. I will still rely on your care in the future. Giving you a few pills is just a small favor. What purpose does it serve?"

It's come to this, and you still want to play tricks on him?

Murong Jingyan chuckled, "Really? If Miss Shen really doesn't want anything, that would be great. I heard that Gu Shi is crazy about finding a mother and daughter in Beichen..."

"Murong Jingyan, what are you going to do?"

Murong Jingyan slowly stood up, a lazy smile on his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all.

"Since I've already told you the truth, there's no need to beat around the bush.

What I need is absolute loyalty. If Miss Shen still has reservations about me, then let's pretend nothing happened tonight."

His meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Or, she should just be nice and sit at the table together.

Or, he would just flip the table.

This person is really...

"Of course, you can choose to continue to deceive me, but the prerequisite is that you have the ability to avoid being discovered by me."

Murong Jingyan's lazy voice came again.

His tone was gentle and his smile was kind, but Shen Muxi inexplicably felt as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

This man finally took off the gentle disguise on his face in front of her.

Shen Muxi sneered, and his eyes suddenly became cold.

"I want the Shen Mansion to be turned back into a county lady's mansion, and I want the Beichen Rongjunwang Mansion to be destroyed. The entire Su Mansion will be buried with us, mother and daughter. Your Highness, can you do it?"

Even though she and her daughter were lucky enough to survive, the hurt they suffered in the past was real.

She remembered all the abuses she suffered before her death, all the abuses Xiaoxiao suffered, and the lives of Zhuifeng, Shuyin, An Pozi, and Shuandi.

If she doesn't avenge this, she would be unworthy of being a mother.

Looking up at Murong Jingyan's scrutinizing gaze, Shen Muxi curled the corners of her mouth sarcastically, "

Your Highness, there is no need to look at me like that. Loyalty cannot be expressed with words. Time will be the witness to whether it is suitable or not.

I have been dead before, so I have a soft spot and am naturally more afraid of death.

But once my weakness is gone, I won’t be afraid of death anymore.”

Her meaning couldn't be more obvious.

When it comes to Xiaoxiao, she is completely desperate.

Women are weak, but mothers are strong.

Murong Jingyan thought of his mother.

When they met for the last time, she solemnly placed the lives of her grandparents in his hands, asking him to live and protect them no matter what.

Not long after, my grandfather took great pains to see him for the last time, and the last words he said to him were to live well and protect everyone.

But in the end, he couldn't protect any of those who had protected him...

All his weaknesses are gone.

Living in this world, like a zombie...

For a long time, he was obsessed with opera, trying to experience the various aspects of life of the characters in the opera...

Later, he realized that there was no such thing as entrustment.

They just wanted him to live well.

The past came back to him without warning, his throat became dry, and he turned away and stopped looking at Shen Muxi.

"As long as you are useful, I will naturally not do anything to your daughter."

His voice was dry and hoarse.

Shen Muxi didn't say anything else.

Murong Jingyan knew her true identity, and she saw Murong Jingyan's true face.

Now, the two of them are completely tied together.

...

On the way back.

Hongyu, the personal maid who accompanied Shen Muxi to the Little East Palace, was sent by Shen Muxi to drive outside the carriage with the coachman.

There were only Shen Muxi and Shen Xi in the car.

Shen Xi looked at Shen Muxi in confusion.

"Why don't you take Xiaoxiao away today?"

"Given the current situation, it's much safer for Xiaoxiao to stay in the Little East Palace than for me to place her outside."

When Shen Muxi thought about it now, she felt that her previous thoughts were childish and impulsive.

"Currently, various forces in Yecheng are secretly surging.

Even if I can take Xiaoxiao away successfully today, what about in the future?

No one can guarantee that I won’t be targeted suddenly.

Right now, most of our personnel and deployment are focused on Beichen, and I'm worried about leaving Xiaoxiao to other people."

Shen Xi nodded.

"That's true. Besides, you're going to marry into the Little East Palace soon, so taking her away would be unnecessary."

Shen Muxi closed her eyes to rest, but in her heart she was wondering why Beichen's news was so slow...

"Mu Xi!"

Shen Xi's exclamation interrupted Shen Muxi's rest with his eyes closed.

"what happened?"

Shen Xi looked at his disappeared hands in horror.

Shen Muxi no longer had the intention to close his eyes and rest.

"How could this be?"

Almost at the same time, the carriage stopped.

Hongyu's voice was heard outside the car, "Miss, Aunt Liu is here and said that the old lady wants to see you."
