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

Going to extremes inevitably leads to destruction.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that Chu Yingge is still alive and well in the prison. She hasn't died. It's hard to guarantee that the Seventh Prince's Mansion won't take any action."

Mu Jingyu's words reminded Lin Wan that as long as Chu Yingge lived, she would remain a major threat.

There are still two days until the joint trial by the three judicial authorities. If the Seventh Prince's Mansion makes any further moves by then, wouldn't all of this be a complete waste?

How could her carefully laid plan be ruined in an instant?

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. I will take note."

"That's good." After saying that, Mu Jingyu turned and left Lianxi Palace, seemingly unwilling to stay for even a moment longer.

Chu Yingge has now acknowledged her identity, and since she is no longer on their side, there is no point in keeping her around.

However, it was still a bit hard to let him do it himself, so it would be best if Lin Wan could do it for him.

Watching Mu Jingyu leave, a hint of doubt appeared in Lin Wan's eyes. As far as she knew, Mu Jingyu was in love with Chu Yingge, so why would he take the initiative to remind her to deal with Chu Yingge today? Was there something she didn't know about?

It seems she needs to investigate this matter further.

“Yunnuo”.

"Yes."

"Go check it out."

"Yes."

Although Yunnuo stayed by Lin Wan's side because of the poison in her body, it has to be said that Yunnuo understands Lin Wan the best.

After hearing this, Yun Nuo finally understood what Lin Wan wanted her to investigate.

However, she was also curious about this.

Why did the emperor's attitude suddenly make a complete 180-degree turn? What exactly happened in between?

……

Chu Yinnan couldn't find any help at the Seventh Prince's Mansion, so he came up with his own solution. However, he had previously been in Luocheng, and now he didn't have many connections in the capital, and there were very few people who could be of use to him.

After searching around, I finally decided to go to the prison to see Chu Yinge first.

Upon exiting the gate, Chu Yinnan was blocked. It took considerable effort to pull some strings and secure a brief meeting with Chu Yinge.

Without any research subjects, Chu Yingge's days were incredibly boring, except for drawing blueprints and doing other research.

"Song".

Hearing the familiar voice, Chu Yingge looked up and saw Chu Yinnan standing at the door, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

"How did you come?"

"Let me see you."

Chu Yinnan looked Chu Yingge up and down. There were no obvious injuries on her body, so it seemed that she had not been tortured.

Even so, Chu Yinnan still felt uneasy.

"What exactly happened that day? How did you end up being accused of plotting against the Empress Dowager?"

"If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext." Chu Yingge no longer wanted to comment on this matter.

Chu Yinnan frowned. He knew it was like this. It must all be a misunderstanding. Chu Yingge would never do something so foolish in public!

"Is that the Empress Dowager?"

"Hmm, is there anyone else besides her?"

"So what do we do now?" Chu Yinnan asked.

Chu Yingge shook her head. She had already come up with a plan, but she couldn't tell Chu Yinnan yet.

Seeing Chu Yingge shake her head, Chu Yinnan's anger flared up instantly. His sister was suffering here, but the person who should have helped was doing nothing.

"Yinge, tell me honestly, is your relationship with the prince not good?"

"No, we're fine, why would you ask that, brother?" Chu Yingge was a little confused, but looking at Chu Yinnan's expression, she suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Brother, you didn't go to see the Prince, did you?"

"After something like this happened, shouldn't I go after him?" Chu Yinnan felt even angrier at this thought.

"Do you know what? Yingge, if it weren't for this, I really wouldn't have been able to see that the Seventh Prince is actually a heartless and treacherous person!"

"..."

"He stood idly by while I was dealing with your situation. When I went to see him, he turned me away. This time, I really misjudged him!"

Chu Yingge felt a series of headaches from Chu Yinnan's accusations. She had finally managed to get Mu Ziyuan to agree to her request, and if she let this person continue to interfere, Mu Ziyuan's heart would break down sooner or later, and it would be too late for him to do something outrageous.

“Brother, don’t interfere in my affairs. Besides, it’s not that the prince didn’t help, it’s that I told him not to.”

"It's you?" Chu Yinnan asked, puzzled. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because I have my own plans, you don't need to worry about it. I can protect myself."

"Really?" Chu Yinnan was still a little skeptical.

Chu Yingge nodded vigorously: "Of course, when have I ever lied to you? I can definitely protect myself. The biggest help you can give me is for you not to interfere."

"If you say that, then I'm relieved." Hearing Chu Yingge's assurance, Chu Yinnan naturally felt relieved.

It seems he really wronged the Seventh Prince. I must pay him a visit another day to apologize.

"Since you've already said you're fine, I won't bother you anymore. Get some rest. The joint trial by the three judicial departments is in two days, so prepare well."

"Okay." Chu Yingge nodded, agreeing.

Seeing that Chu Yingge was alright, Chu Yinnan felt much more at ease, and her worries of so many days suddenly lessened.

I felt much better after being released from prison.

Having just seen Chu Yinnan off, Chu Yingge hadn't even had a chance to calm down when she saw Lin Wan arriving in her carriage. She looked so energetic and lively, not at all like someone who was about to die.

If she had known it would be like this, she should have confirmed the charge of plotting against the Empress Dowager and stabbed Lin Wan to death to prevent her from causing further harm.

After taking a look at the cell where Chu Yingge was, a hint of resentment flashed in Lin Wan's eyes. She had thought that Chu Yingge had not been having a good time these past few days, but the cell was so clean and tidy that it was clear that she had not suffered any hardship.

That little bitch really got off easy! She should have come to see Chu Yingge sooner.

"It seems that the Seventh Princess is living a good life."

"Isn't this all thanks to the Empress Dowager, who allows me, the Princess Consort, to live such a leisurely life?" Chu Yingge said coldly, her tone devoid of any emotion.

Lin Wan curled her lips into a sneer, her sinister intent becoming even more apparent: "I also feel that the Seventh Princess's life is a bit too comfortable, so I've come here specifically to relieve her boredom."

"Is that so? Then let this princess witness it properly and see what other insidious methods the Empress Dowager has yet to use."

"I'll show you what I'm made of," Lin Wan said, beckoning to the people behind her. Several burly men walked in, trying to restrain Chu Yingge.

Chu Yingge never took off her long whip; she really didn't care at all about dealing with these good-for-nothings in front of her.
