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

Zhang Yi stood alone at the entrance of the prison, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.

After Lin Wan left, he thought about going in, but then he changed his mind.

Only after those who had left with Lin Wan came out did Zhang Yi rush into the prison.

Opening the cell door and seeing Chu Yingge covered in blood, Zhang Yi's head spun. If the prince found out that he had taken such good care of the princess, he would probably be facing certain death.

Although everyone knows that his prince is useless, how could he not know his prince's methods and abilities?

"Princess? Princess? Princess?" Zhang Yi called out.

After a long while, there was no response.

Zhang Yi immediately became anxious. This matter must be informed to the Prince as soon as possible, otherwise, if anything were to happen to the Princess Consort, who could bear the responsibility?

Zhang Yi was about to leave, but as soon as he stood up, Chu Yingge reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't tell the prince, or I'll kill you!"

"Your Highness, you're awake!" Zhang Yi was overjoyed, but the joy quickly faded.

Because Chu Yingge fell into a coma again after saying those words, but the hand that was gripping Zhang Yi's sleeve never let go.

Zhang Yi was in a dilemma. He couldn't offend the prince, and he couldn't afford to offend the princess even more. But if something really happened to the princess in her current state, he would be utterly destroyed.

Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.

Neither of these two masters is easy to deal with.

"Your Highness, please rest well. I promise I won't tell the Prince." After saying this, Chu Yingge's tightly clenched hand instantly loosened.

Zhang Yi let out a long breath. He could hear him speaking, so it seemed that he was still conscious.

Zhang Yi had seriously overestimated Chu Yingge. Anyone else would not have survived these injuries, but Chu Yingge had powerful internal energy supporting her, so even in a coma, she could still perceive everything happening in the outside world.

In the cell, apart from the barely audible breathing of the fledgling eagle, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

His clothes were soaked in blood, which continued to ooze out and drip onto the floor.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, it made a heart-pounding sound.

After leaving the prison, Zhang Yi thought long and hard and felt that he should tell his master about this matter. However, just as he was about to leave, he remembered his promise to his mistress.

For a moment, they were caught in a dilemma.

But just then, the fruit arrived.

Guozi was worried because she hadn't seen Chu Yingge, so she secretly went to the entrance of the prison without telling Muzi.

"Brother Guard, may I see my young lady?" Guozi said, taking out some silver from her pocket and handing it to Zhang Yi.

Guozi didn't know Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi recognized Guozi and knew that she was Chu Yingge's personal maid.

"I'm sorry, the Seventh Princess is a serious offender and cannot be visited casually."

“How can it be casual?” Guozi said, taking out another silver ingot.

Zhang Yi's eye twitched. Did he look like a greedy little man now?

Zhang Yiyi handed over the silver in his hand to Guozi intact and said sternly, "I have already said that the Seventh Princess is a serious criminal and cannot be visited."

"Just tell me, how much do you want?" Guozi seemed to be all in, as money was no object.

Zhang Yi was speechless for a moment, then turned around and simply ignored Guozi. But Guozi wouldn't allow it. She had finally found the entrance to the prison, and she would never go back without seeing her young lady.

Guozi grabbed Zhang Yi's hand, looking aggrieved, and tears immediately fell down her cheeks. She looked so adorable.

Zhang Yi was a normal, hot-blooded man, and when Guo Zi acted this way, he naturally softened and his tone became much gentler without him even realizing it.

"It's not that I don't want you to go in, it's just... it's just that the Princess is not available right now."

"Why is it inconvenient?" Guozi pressed.

Zhang Yi was about to speak, but remembering his promise, he had no choice but to shut up: "I promised the Princess that I wouldn't tell the Prince."

"Just because I can't tell the prince doesn't mean I can't tell you!" Guozi argued illogically.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi suddenly realized that Guozi's words made sense. He was just worried about how to solve this problem, and Guozi had given him some advice.

He promised the princess not to tell the prince about this, but he didn't actually promise not to tell anyone else.

If someone else told the prince, then it has nothing to do with him.

"Go back and tell the Prince immediately that the Princess Consort has been tortured by the Empress Dowager and is barely clinging to life!"

"What!" Guozi didn't react for a moment.

Zhang Yi frowned: "Didn't you understand? I said, the princess is in imminent danger."

"How dare that old woman..." Guozi accidentally blurted out what was on her mind.

Zhang Yi's expression was somewhat embarrassed; this was the first time he had ever seen anyone in the world dare to speak so rudely to the Empress Dowager.

As expected, the people raised by their princess are extraordinary.

"What are you still standing here for? If you slow down, the princess's life will really be in danger."

"Oh right, how could I forget that?" Guozi said, not daring to linger any longer, and turned and ran away.

Watching Guozi run off into the distance, Zhang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He has done all he could; as for the outcome, that depends on his princess's fate.

……

The atmosphere inside the Seventh Prince's mansion was eerie.

Mu Zi had gone in and out of the bamboo garden several times, but still couldn't find Guo Zi. Usually, Guo Zi would be staying in her room at this time and wouldn't go out. What happened today? There wasn't even a trace of her, which was a little worrying.

After pacing back and forth, Mu Zi felt a surge of irritation. After thinking for a while, she decided to leave the palace to look for him.

After all, the fruit is so cute, it would be such a pity if someone kidnapped it.

As soon as Mu Zi reached the door, she bumped into Guo Zi, who was running towards her.

"Where did you go? I looked for you for so long, I thought something had happened to you!"

"Where is the prince?" Guozi gasped for breath; she had run all the way back.

Mu Zi was somewhat dissatisfied. He had been worried about the person in front of him for so long, but the person hadn't said a single extra word. The first thing he asked was about his prince. What a heartless person.

"You still haven't answered my question! Where did you go?"

"I'm asking you, where is the prince?" Guozi practically shouted these words.

Seeing how anxious Guozi was, Muzi realized the seriousness of the situation and dared not joke with Guozi anymore.

"She's in the study. I'll take you there." With that, she grabbed Guozi's hand and ran towards the study.

In the study, Mu Ziyuan put down the folded document in his hand, feeling somewhat irritated.
