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

The power of the martial arts world should never be underestimated. Although his conflict with Mu Jingyu is merely a battle within the imperial court, the martial arts world can play a decisive role once this war breaks out.

Therefore, he could not ignore it, nor dared to ignore it.

"Remove all the nets recently, and don't leave a single trace."

"Okay, I know what to do."

Mu Zi also looked solemn. Recently, because of the princess's matter, her prince had not had a proper rest, and his face had become somewhat haggard.

"Your Highness, you should get some rest now. You can't afford to ruin your health prematurely."

"Hmm." Mu Ziyuan rubbed his aching temples and gestured for Mu Zi to leave. Indeed, he really needed to get some rest.

Mu Zi nodded, turned around, and closed the study door behind her.

The flickering candlelight was suddenly plunged into a deep, silent darkness.

……

As soon as it was light, Guozi stood at the door, holding a basin of water, waiting expectantly.

Yesterday, her young mistress said that she would go to avenge her today. How could she not be excited?

She was almost tortured to death by that despicable Mu Huichun last time, and she was determined to get her revenge on him today, taking advantage of this great opportunity!

Mu Zi walked in from outside and passed by Youzhu Garden. She happened to see Guozi waiting at the door and walked over without thinking.

"Why are you waiting at the Princess's door so early?"

"I'm in a good mood today, is it any of your business?" Guozi rolled her eyes at Muzi and continued to wait expectantly.

Having been rebuffed by Guozi, Muzi had nothing more to say. She scratched her head, turned around, and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Guozi called out to Muzi, looking her up and down. She hadn't changed her clothes and had clearly just walked in from outside.

"What did you do last night?" Guozi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Mu Zi stretched her limbs, her face showing exhaustion: "I didn't go anywhere, I just went to complete the task that the prince assigned to me."

"The whole night?"

"Mm." Mu Zi nodded, her expression completely calm.

Guozi frowned. She had long known that the Seventh Prince's Mansion was nothing more than a facade, but she hadn't expected it to be so treacherous.

Most importantly, seeing Mu Zi like this, she actually felt a pang of heartache.

"You should go back and get some rest. I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can cook something nice to nourish your body."

"So nice to me?" A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Zi's face.

Guozi blushed instantly and couldn't help but mutter, "Go back and rest, don't talk about these things!"

"Okay, then I'll be a good girl and listen to you." After saying that, Mu Zi turned and left.

Guozi watched Muzi's departing figure, put the basin of water she was carrying on the steps, turned around, and ran towards the kitchen.

Chu Yingge woke up, got out of bed, and listened to the silence outside the door, her face showing a somewhat ambiguous expression.

Wearing the clothes he had prepared beforehand and simply styling his hair up, he looked like a handsome young man. When he opened the door to his room and saw the basin of water on the steps, Chu Yingge's eyes twitched involuntarily.

This fruit is getting bolder and bolder; it just throws the water basin here and calls it a day?

Fortunately, Chu Yinge wasn't pretentious.

She's not missing any limbs, why does she need someone to wait on her?

Picking up the basin of water from the ground, Chu Yingge turned and walked towards the room.

After washing up, Chu Yingge sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her reflection in the bronze mirror, and had a feeling of being in another world.

Having navigated the complexities of dealing with Mu Jingyu and battling with Lin Wan, she has completely adapted to her current identity along the way.

But taking down Lin Wan is far from enough; in the future, she will face opponents who are far stronger than Lin Wan.

Therefore, she doesn't have extra time to be overly sensitive, and of course, she won't be overly sensitive.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, but all the grease she gets is something she has to fight for herself; it has nothing to do with any gifts from others.

Chu Yingge smiled slightly at the person in the mirror, got up from her seat, and walked towards the door. Just as she opened the door, she bumped into Guozi, who was carrying food.

She looked extremely careful, as if afraid of spilling even a drop.

"So that's why you disappeared. You went to the kitchen."

"Uh..." Guozi was speechless, but she forced herself to walk over and said, "Miss, this isn't for you, it's..."

"Mu Zi".

"Miss, you are so clever, how could you guess that!" Guozi said with a flattering expression.

Chu Yingge snorted coldly. Her precious little cabbage, whom she had finally managed to keep by her side, had just left with someone else's pig. She really felt bad about it.

"Your eyes tell me you wish you could fly to his side right now, how could I not guess?"

“Miss, Mu Zi was out on a mission all night last night, so…” Guozi said hesitantly.

Chu Yingge frowned, her smile vanishing completely: "On a mission? All night?"

“Yes, that’s why I think… Hey Miss, where are you going? I haven’t finished speaking yet…” Before Guozi could finish speaking, Chu Yingge had already strode away.

Watching her young mistress's departing figure, Guozi was completely bewildered. What had she just said that caused such a strong reaction from her young mistress?

Never mind, she'd better just deliver the things to Mu Zi first.

Standing at the door of the study, Chu Yingge raised her hand, then lowered it again, hesitating and wavering.

Mu Zi's mission was undoubtedly orchestrated by Mu Ziyuan, and Mu Ziyuan's motive for doing so was simple: he had encountered trouble, and a very troublesome one at that.

Presumably, the inside story was something they wanted to tell her a long time ago, but because of her situation, they postponed it all.

Looking at the poison ring on her hand, Chu Yingge concentrated, and after a long while, finally raised her hand and knocked on the study door.

Mu Ziyuan inside the room could see exactly how long Chu Yingge stood outside the room.

He also saw Chu Yingge's hesitation and doubt, but he also saw the determination she had made.

Upon opening the door to the room and seeing Chu Yingge standing there, Mu Ziyuan suddenly felt that his purpose in unifying the world had gained another dimension.

"Come in and tell me what's wrong."

"it is good."

Chu Yingge walked past Mu Ziyuan into the room, looked at the furnishings in the study, and sat down at the table.

The folded papers on the desk were piled up like a mountain, presumably because of her incident, so many things had been put on hold by Mu Ziyuan.

"Have you encountered something troublesome lately?" Chu Yingge didn't intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Never dragging things out – that has always been Chu Yingge's style of doing things.

Mu Ziyuan seemed to have anticipated that Chu Yingge would ask such a direct question. His face remained expressionless as he walked to his desk, took out a letter, and handed it to Chu Yingge.

"You'll know after you read it."

"Okay." Chu Yingge took the envelope, opened it, and saw the contents inside.
