Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

That way, she can cleanly and decisively treat Mu Jingyu as an opponent in the future.

Mu Ziyuan moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word. He tightened his grip on Chu Yingge's hand.

"Let's go home then, so we can get things sorted out sooner." After saying that, Mu Ziyuan took Chu Yingge's hand and left the door of the Imperial Study.

He knew very well that if he offended Lin Wan and Mu Jingyu, Chu Yingge would inevitably suffer some physical pain no matter how wise she was.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

Mu Ziyuan's guess was correct. He and Chu Yingge had just arrived at the Prince's Mansion when Mu Jingyu's imperial edict arrived, stating that Chu Yingge had committed treason and plotted to harm the Empress Dowager, and therefore was to be temporarily detained.

When Chu Yingge received the imperial decree, she was not surprised, but the fruit vendors were in an uproar.

"Miss, is the Emperor blind? The Empress Dowager is clearly framing you. Why doesn't the Emperor investigate this thoroughly?"

"If the investigation is thorough, there won't be any chance to frame me, right?" Chu Yingge said calmly, without any extreme reaction.

Even if Guozi was slow to understand, she would understand the meaning behind Chu Yingge's words. It was obvious that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were ganging up on her young lady.

"Miss, is this really the end of it? The prison was so dark and damp that day, how could your body possibly withstand it?" Guozi said worriedly.

Chu Yingge tucked some usable items into her sleeve with swift, fluid movements.

Having the title of Seventh Princess Consort does have one advantage: even if she were to go to jail, she could make thorough preparations in advance.

"Don't worry anymore, I'll take good care of myself. While I'm gone, you must keep a close eye on the Prince."

"I know."

Although Guozi is rather oblivious in other aspects, she truly understands this point.

Given the extent of the prince's doting on her young lady, who knows what outrageous things he might do? If, in a fit of anger, the prince were to break out of the imperial prison, that would truly be adding insult to injury, a crime that would be impossible to clear even if one jumped into the Yellow River.

Chu Yingge packed her things quickly and left the palace. As she was being taken away, Mu Ziyuan's eyes held a hint of anger and coldness.

Mu Zi stood aside, completely baffled as to why her prince was so calm this time. In the past, how could he have allowed these people to take the princess away?

"Your Highness, are we really going to do nothing?"

"what are you planning to do?"

"princess……"

"Let's wait and see," Mu Ziyuan said, then turned and left. He was afraid that if he continued to watch, he wouldn't be able to resist snatching the little woman back from those people.

Mu Zi tilted her head, genuinely puzzled: "Guozi, don't you think the prince is acting strangely?"

"No, the prince merely promised the young lady that he would not interfere in this matter."

"Is this what the Princess Consort requested?" Mu Zi asked in surprise, completely baffled as to what kind of deal these two masters were making.

Guozi nodded: "Miss truly loves the Prince, so she doesn't want him to be involved in this matter. I believe in Miss; she will definitely be able to handle this situation with ease."

"Where do you get your confidence from?" Mu Zi asked.

This prison is not a place that just anyone can enter. Once you're in, don't even think about coming out unscathed. Isn't that something everyone knows?

Besides, no matter how strong the princess is, she is still a woman. Her body might not be able to withstand being in a place like the imperial prison.

Guozi rolled her eyes at Muzi, said nothing more, and walked towards Youzhu Garden.

She was already in a terrible state, and Mu Zi just added to the chaos. She had no idea what kind of brain this person had.

Watching Guozi leave angrily, Mu Zi scratched his head anxiously. Had he said something wrong?

News of Chu Yingge's imprisonment quickly reached the Prime Minister's residence.

Although Chu Yinnan did not attend the banquet, he had heard about the details. Based on his understanding of Chu Yingge, he would never do something so foolish!

If they really wanted to murder the Empress Dowager, they wouldn't have used such a clumsy method.

Chu Yinnan knew very well that this was all a setup to get rid of Chu Yingge, but Chu Yingge had actually walked into this trap.

The person who was happiest about the news of Chu Yingge's imprisonment was Madam Zhang. She was supposed to attend the banquet yesterday, but she couldn't go because of her injuries, which were inflicted by Chu Yingge.

Hearing that Chu Yingge had been imprisoned was truly exhilarating news.

"Someone, go to the study."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhang's smile was chilling, and the malice in her eyes was even more intense.

Although this news made her happy, she still wanted to confirm its authenticity. What if she was happy for nothing, just like last time?

However, since this news has been able to spread, it must not be entirely unfounded.

In the Prime Minister's residence, in the study.

Chu Tian looked at Chu Yinnan standing in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly: "Is there something you need?"

“Yinge would never do such a thing,” Chu Yinnan said stubbornly.

Chu Tian put down what he was holding: "So what?"

"Yin Ge was framed."

"So what?" Chu Tian looked at Chu Yinnan with the same gaze he would give a clown.

All the pent-up emotions were unleashed at this moment. Chu Yinnan clenched her hands, walked up to Chu Tian, ​​her eyes icy cold, her gaze like a layer of ice, chilling everyone to the bone.

"Father, are you really so heartless? Or is it that in your eyes, we siblings have never been your own flesh and blood, and only Chu Yanran is your daughter, and only Chu Moran is your son?"

Chu Yinnan had been holding these accusations in her heart for a long time, but she never had the chance to say them. Now, with the matter of Chu Yinge fermenting, she blurted them out without hesitation.

Chu Tian was somewhat surprised. In his memory, Chu Yinnan was extremely obedient and easy to manage, and would never say such rebellious words.

"Are you talking to me? Don't forget, I'm your father!"

"Does Father still remember this? I thought Father had forgotten that he had me and Yin Ge, his two children!"

Chu Yinnan stared coldly at Chu Tian, ​​her eyes devoid of any emotion. A person's heart cannot be hurt indefinitely. When it is hurt to a certain extent, the heart will have a rejection reaction, and all such hurts will be automatically rejected.

Chu Tian slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, his anger barely concealed.

"Who are you talking to? Who gave you the audacity to say that?"

"Isn't it all thanks to Father's good teaching?"

"You..." Chu Tian was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
