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

Mu Ziyuan then walked over as well. When he saw Chu Yingge notice the name engraved on the stone table, a slightly unnatural look flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"What are you looking at?"

"nothing."

Chu Yingge withdrew her gaze. She had come today to discuss something with the person in front of her, so she naturally wouldn't waste time on other matters. However, before discussing this matter, she needed to confirm something else.

"Can I ask you a question?" Chu Yingge asked softly.

Mu Ziyuan nodded, his expression turning serious: "Ask away."

"Are you really planning to be my support?"

"Why use a question? I've always thought it was a statement." Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Ziyuan answered directly.

This hasty decision made Chu Yingge feel somewhat unreal, because she never believed in love at first sight, although love that develops over time is not necessarily reliable either.

"Since that's the case, then let me make it clear from the start: what I want is one person for life, in other words, I, Chu Yingge, am the only woman in your life."

"This king knows."

"Do you know?" Chu Yingge's lips curled into a sneer: "Mu Ziyuan, you are going to be the emperor. In the future, I won't be the only one in your harem."

"It's just you," Mu Ziyuan said softly.

"Are you serious?" Chu Yingge couldn't help but ask.

Nodding slightly, Mu Ziyuan reached out and took Chu Yingge's hand, picked up a dagger and placed it in Chu Yingge's hand, forcing Chu Yingge's hand to hold the dagger against his own heart.

"I thought I had made myself very clear. Taking such a great risk to betroth you, isn't that enough to prove how important you are to me?"

After a pause, Mu Ziyuan continued, "I promise you that no matter what position or status I hold in this life, you will be the only person by my side, and I will only have you. If you don't believe me, you can dig out my heart right now and see for yourself."

After saying that, Mu Ziyuan released Chu Yingge's hand. At such close range, Chu Yingge could feel the beating of Mu Ziyuan's heart. With just a little force, Mu Ziyuan could die right there.

A gentle evening breeze blew by, and moonlight slowly spilled down. Chu Yingge stood in the center of the courtyard, a dagger in her hand, but she ultimately did not plunge it in.

After a long while, Chu Yingge loosened her grip, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"I believe you."

Mu Ziyuan chuckled. He had finally won his gamble. He had risked his life, and if he lost, he would have lost his life, but if he won, he would have Chu Yinge. It was indeed a worthwhile deal.

Actually, Chu Yingge had already accepted Mu Ziyuan in her heart last time, but Mu Ziyuan suddenly proposed marriage, so she naturally had some doubts.

"Now that I have accepted your identity, everything I do from now on will be based on you. I will support whatever you want to do. Remember, I will support you without hesitation."

To others, these words would have been nothing more than polite platitudes, but coming from Chu Yingge, they were the best recognition of his status to Mu Ziyuan.

"From now on, I will be your strong support. Remember, it's good to have a strong support behind you. If there are any problems you can't solve, just leave them to me." Having gained Chu Yingge's approval, Mu Ziyuan's way of addressing her changed.

It was obvious that Chu Yingge had also noticed this, and a layer of warmth appeared in her originally cold eyes.

She had said before that if she hadn't encountered love, she wouldn't force anything, but now that she had, she wouldn't resist it.

As long as it's the right person, time won't be a problem. Anyway, she'll have plenty of time to cultivate the relationship with the person in front of her.

Seeing this scene from not far away, Mu Zi suddenly understood why his prince had been willing to risk being discovered to go to the Prime Minister's residence to propose marriage.

Because it's worth it.

Having established their relationship, Chu Yingge naturally had to explain the main purpose of her visit to the Seventh Prince's residence.

After all, that's why she came here.

"No matter what, even if it was because of me, your previous actions were somewhat ill-considered, but what's done is done, and there's no point in saying anything now."

"So you mean..." Mu Ziyuan didn't seem worried at all, because he knew that the person in front of him would never appear if he hadn't come up with a solution.

Chu Yingge lowered her head and pondered for a moment before raising her head to look at Mu Ziyuan and saying, "Since Mu Jingyu has already noticed your ambition, he will naturally be wary of you. Therefore, all your actions must be suspended for the time being."

"And then?" As if knowing there would be more to Chu Yingge's story, Mu Ziyuan asked again.

"And then? Then naturally, everything was left to me."

Chu Yingge raised her head slightly and sat upright in front of the stone table. Her innate temperament commanded respect.

She once single-handedly created an assassin empire, ruthless and decisive, making countless people submit to her iron-fisted methods. Now, even without the assassin empire, she is still the chairperson of that assassin group that strikes fear into the hearts of many.

Without even thinking or asking a question, Mu Ziyuan nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll leave it all to you."

"Aren't you going to ask me anything?" Chu Yingge was a little surprised that the person in front of her trusted her so much, but the surprise only lasted for a moment before she felt relieved.

Mu Ziyuan was acknowledging her position in another way.

Because she is Mu Ziyuan's only woman, everything she does will receive Mu Ziyuan's support, whether it is good or bad.

Extending his left hand, Mu Ziyuan removed the thumb ring from his thumb. With a gentle force, the thumb ring split in two, turning into two rings.

"This is for you."

"What is this?" Chu Yingge took the ring from Mu Ziyuan's hand. Although she was curious, she put it on her finger without any hesitation.

Although the size isn't quite right, it looks great on.

Mu Ziyuan bit his finger and dripped blood onto the ring on Chu Yingge's hand. The ring absorbed the blood and slowly shrank until it fit Chu Yingge's slender finger perfectly.

Startled by what she saw, Chu Yingge looked at Mu Ziyuan with some confusion: "What is this?"

"This is a poison ring. If you leave me in the future, you will die from the poison. Only my blood can save you." After saying that, Mu Ziyuan stretched out his hand in front of Chu Yingge.

She glanced at Mu Ziyuan, her gaze falling on Mu Ziyuan's slender fingers, where the rings looked extremely cool in the moonlight.

Mu Ziyuan is risking his life to make a promise to her.
