Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Although Mu Sheng and Mu Qinghe deliberately lowered their voices, Ye Shangyuan, who was closer, could still hear the gist of their conversation.

He thought to himself: What a clever plan. They even want me to do something that will offend Mu Mu.

He also understood that there must have been some hidden story behind Mu Xue being abandoned in Yu Nan City after being poisoned.

Mu Xue was focused on inserting the needle, completely absorbed, and therefore had no idea about the conversation between Mu Qinghe and his son.

As the last needle was inserted, Mu Xue raised her hand to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead, turned to Chang Sheng and said, "Keep a close eye on your young master, don't let him move around. This needle needs to be stopped for another fifteen minutes."

After saying that, she took out another pill and handed it to Changsheng. Then she said, "Dissolve this pill in warm water and feed it to your young master, not a drop left. Remember, not a drop left!"

Upon hearing Mu Xue's voice, Mu Qinghe and Mu Sheng also got up and came over.

This was the first time Mu Sheng had seen Mu Xue administer acupuncture. Looking at his older brother, whose upper body was covered in needles like a hedgehog, he pointed at Mu Feng and asked, "Are you just going to leave it like this? How long will it take?"

Mu Xue looked in the direction he was pointing and suddenly realized that Mu Feng's hairstyle was indeed somewhat funny.

She suddenly smiled and said to Changsheng, "Find something from your half-sister to shield your eldest son from the needle, as long as he doesn't get hurt."

For a moment, Changsheng didn't know whether to first use the elixir or find something to shield his eldest son.

Finally, Mu Sheng stepped forward, took the pill from his hand, and said, "I'll take care of this. I'll feed it to my brother. You go find something."

Chang Sheng gratefully bowed to Mu Sheng, then turned and left the room.

Seeing Mu Sheng's skillful technique, he indeed fed Mu Feng every last drop.

Mu Xue and Ye Shangyuan exchanged an amused glance, and Mu Xue teased, "Mu Sheng, your technique is really good. You must have taken care of quite a few people before!"

Without turning his head, Mu Sheng said, "Just say what you want to say. No need for such sarcasm. Did your prince already tell you?"

"Ahem," Mu Xue cleared her throat and said unhappily, "Hey, what are you saying? Explain yourself clearly! What do you mean by 'my prince'? What do you mean by 'my prince'? If you keep talking like that, I'll have Ye Yi beat you up!"

"Hehe, no wonder you're so confident. So, this guy has given you even Yoruichi, that fighting maniac!" Upon hearing this, Mu Sheng was even more itchy to bite Mu Xue, who could now command Yoruichi.

Back then, he went to Shanghai alone, fearing the long journey and potential dangers. He pleaded with Ye Shangyuan to lend him someone, but Ye Shangyuan refused. Now, however, Ye Shangyuan has been generous, giving Ye Yi directly to Mu Xue.

After feeding the medicine, Mu Sheng turned around and saw the three of them standing there awkwardly. He had no choice but to go up to them and say, "Let's go to the outer room to sit down and wait. I'll go get the medicinal herbs."

Ye Shangyuan said, "Very well, General, please." After saying that, he pulled Mu Xue to the chair and sat down.

Mu Qinghe and Mu Sheng walked over together and sat opposite Mu Xue.

Mu Qinghe was the first to speak, asking, "What about Mu Feng's health?"

Mu Xue looked at Mu Qinghe and said calmly, "General Mu, rest assured, the person who used the Gu this time only used a small amount of medicine powder. Combined with the pills I gave the eldest young master before, the Gu worms in his body have fallen into a dormant state and will not pose a threat to his body in the short term."

Suddenly, Mu Xue changed the subject and asked, "However, I wonder how the plan I proposed last time is progressing, General?"

Just as Mu Qinghe was about to correct Mu Xue's form of address, he saw Mu Sheng shake his head at him, so he had to suppress the thought.

After calming himself down, Mu Qing replied seriously, "Everything is going according to plan. However, on the day the plan was implemented, Zhu Zhiyue's maid named Xiaochun disappeared. I have arranged for people to search for her in secret, but so much time has passed, I'm afraid she has already left Yu Nan City."

Mu Xue and Ye Shangyuan exchanged a glance, and she continued to say to Mu Qinghe, "Zhu Zhiyue is just a vessel. Once the Gu worm enters the host's body, she becomes useless. Xiao Chun is the one who used medicine to control the Gu worm. But I imagine Zhu Zhiyue must know something as well."

Ye Shangyuan agreed with Mu Xue's statement, saying, "Zhu Zhiyue is probably a expendable pawn. It would be good if we could get some information from her. Let Ye Yi handle this matter."

Mu Xue nodded in agreement and called out, "Yoruichi."

Yoruichi quickly appeared and came before Mu Xue and Ye Shangyuan. He first respectfully bowed to Mu Xue and said, "Your Highness."

Then he bowed to Ye Shangyuan and said, "Your Highness."

This obvious hierarchy left Mu Sheng and Mu Qing speechless, especially when Ye Yi called Mu Xue "Your Highness."

Mu Qinghe jumped up from his chair and suddenly shouted, "What the hell? A princess? How come I didn't know my fifth son was a princess? Whose princess?"

Ye Shangyuan glanced at Mu Qinghe coolly, snorted, and said, "General Mu seems quite interested in my family affairs? Let me remind you again, General, your Mu family no longer has a fifth young lady."

That really hurts, my friend!

Mu Sheng quickly got up and helped his swaying father.

Even though he couldn't win the argument with the Regent, he still insisted on stepping forward and pushing his way in. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

Seeing that Mu Qinghe looked deeply hurt, Mu Xue kindly explained, "This was just something the prince thought was funny, he was just making it up."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shangyuan became displeased and called out, "Mu Mu."

"Shut up!" Mu Xue shouted fiercely.

Ye Shangyuan could only say, with a wronged expression, "Oh."

This turn of events once again shattered the worldviews of Mu Sheng and Mu Qinghe.

It turns out that the fearless and valiant war god Ye Shangyuan is actually afraid of his wife!

Mu Sheng watched with amusement, but Mu Qinghe was somewhat worried. Now that Ye Shangyuan was spoiling Mu Xue, what if he stopped liking her or had another woman in the future? Would that be bad for Mu Xue?

After the playful banter, Ye Shangyuan explained the purpose of his visit.

Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point, saying, "I'm sure the General has also received the news that Princess Changyu of Dongli Kingdom has arrived in the capital."

"Yes, Your Highness received the news yesterday morning. What does Your Highness mean?" Mu Qinghe asked.

"The Dongli Kingdom sent Princess Changyu this time for the purpose of a marriage alliance." As he spoke, Ye Shangyuan glanced at Mu Sheng, the meaning of which was self-evident, and everyone present understood.

Mu Xue covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of amusement as she looked at Mu Sheng.
