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

"Ahem." Chu Yinnan coughed lightly, trying to hide the embarrassment on her face.

Although they are siblings, they are already grown up and naturally cannot sleep together.

Of course, he could also tell that his sister was telling him to get out.

"Of course I still need to go back to my courtyard. It's getting late, you should get some rest."

"Brother too." After saying that, Chu Yingge turned around and went into the room.

Seeing that Chu Yingge's door was closed, a hint of confusion flashed in Chu Yinnan's eyes. He felt that his younger sister's changes were a bit too great, but then he shook his head.

After all, he hadn't seen his sister for three years, and he didn't know what had happened during those three years, so it was understandable that his sister had changed and it was normal for her to become distant from him.

Only after Chu Yinnan left did Chu Yingge dare to open the door to her room. There were many things she didn't intentionally hide from Chu Yinnan; the more people who knew these things, the greater the harm would be.

Chu Yinnan was the person the original owner of this body cared about the most. There was no reason for her to take over the body and then harm the most important person in the body.

From the moment she chose Mu Ziyuan from the bottom of her heart, the path she was destined to take was stained with blood and littered with corpses, but that did not mean she would involve Chu Yinnan as well.

I let out a long breath and looked at the sky; it was completely dark now.

……

Inside the Seventh Prince's Mansion, in the bamboo garden.

Mu Zi stood properly behind Mu Ziyuan, secretly glancing at the figure in front of her, and cleared her throat.

"Your Highness, there is something I am unsure whether I should say it or not?"

"If you don't know, then don't say anything."

"..." Mu Zi felt a pang of grievance.

Ever since he met the ninth young lady of the Chu family, his prince seems to have become a completely different person; he would never have spoken to him like that before.

He really didn't know what kind of bewitching potion the Ninth Miss Chu had given his prince, making him so infatuated. He was becoming more and more curious about this Ninth Miss Chu.

"Your Highness, I think we should never forget our original purpose no matter what we do."

"Do you even need to tell me?" Mu Ziyuan's eyes were filled with icy coldness.

He had no desire for the throne, but he wanted revenge.

He already knew the truth about what happened back then. The claim that his mother died because of him during childbirth was just a cover-up.

He had already investigated the real reason, which is why he traveled all the way to Kyoto to seek an explanation for what happened back then.

Why is it that they are both princes, yet he should have been exiled far away from home since childhood, while that other person can be showered with love and affection!

Turning around, Mu Ziyuan adjusted his sleeves and looked at Mu Zi beside him with a detached expression.

"Rest assured, I have never forgotten the purpose of my visit here."

"But Your Highness, what you're doing now, serving the Emperor in bed, is clearly..."

"Are you questioning me?" Mu Ziyuan suddenly raised his voice.

Mu Zi hurriedly shook her head in denial, saying, "Your Highness, that's not the case. Mu Zi would never question Your Highness, but now that Your Highness has presented a betrothal gift at the Prime Minister's residence, the Emperor has already taken notice. This might lead to..."

Although the words were not finished, both of them were already fully aware of the stakes involved.

Throughout the journey, Mu Ziyuan had always been cautious and had never done anything out of line, all in order to lower Mu Jingyu's guard.

However, now that the engagement is being presented so openly and openly, the ambition that is being revealed will naturally be known to Mu Jingyu.

This is what Mu Zi is worried about.

Nodding slightly, Mu Ziyuan's eyes were calm: "I know the consequences of this matter, but I do not regret it, because she deserves it."

"..." Mu Zi was speechless. He really couldn't understand why the two of them, who were not old acquaintances, had developed to the point of being inseparable from each other in such a short time.

This Ninth Miss Chu is truly resourceful and cunning.

“Since Your Highness thinks she is worthy, then Mu Zi will certainly serve her as the mistress.”

"Mm." Mu Ziyuan responded lightly, a slight smile of pleasure appearing on his lips.

Chu Yingge, who was hiding in the shadows, heard the entire conversation between the two people. Every word was clearly audible to her.

A strange feeling arose in her heart, but Chu Yingge quickly ignored it.

He emerged from the shadows, stood with his hands behind his back, cold and resolute.

"I really didn't know I was so important to the Prince." His cool tone carried a hint of warmth.

Mu Ziyuan frowned slightly. He had absolute confidence in his abilities, but at such close range just now, he really hadn't detected the aura of the person in front of him.

Mu Zi was surprised. He hadn't noticed that someone had sneaked into the Prince's mansion, and had just overheard his conversation with the Prince. At such close range, he hadn't realized anything.

Looking at the prince beside her, he was frowning slightly, clearly unaware of what was happening.

Chu Yingge ignored the two people's surprised gazes and slowly walked towards them.

Her greatest skill in the 21st century was concealment. If she hid, even the most advanced thermal imaging technology of the 21st century wouldn't be able to find her, let alone in this ancient world where there was nothing.

Back then, she was the biggest headache for Interpol. Who would have thought she would turn against them and end up in this fictional era?

With her arms crossed, Chu Yingge's eyes held a smile as she glanced at Mu Zi, but ultimately fixed her gaze on Mu Ziyuan in front of her.

However, having not seen him today, she found herself missing his face somewhat.

“I have overheard your conversation.”

"Greetings, Miss Chu... no, greetings, Your Highness." Mu Zi originally wanted to address her as Miss Chu, but upon seeing the murderous glare in her master's eyes, she immediately changed her address.

Chu Yingge nodded slightly. Since she had already accepted Mu Ziyuan as her man, she would naturally be more polite to the people around Mu Ziyuan.

“I’ve come here today for what you just discussed, so you’ll stay and listen.”

"This... isn't that a bad idea?" Mu Zi was a little embarrassed. His lord's face clearly said that he should get lost. If he didn't know better and stayed, he would probably be left to rot in the streets the next day.

"Your Highness and Princess should talk. I'll go down and make tea for you both." With that, Mu Zi quickly slipped away.

Watching Mu Zi's departing figure, Mu Ziyuan's lips curled up slightly. His men were still able to understand his meaning.

Chu Yingge shrugged, not saying much about Mu Zi's departure.

He walked to the stone table and sat down. Looking at the patterns on the stone table, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Because her name was carved on the stone table, and it looked like it had just been carved recently.
