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

Back at the Prime Minister's residence, Green Bamboo hurriedly walked towards Chu Yanran's courtyard, where Chu Yanran was feeding the fish in the pond in front of her.

Seeing Green Bamboo rushing back, a flash of anger crossed Chu Yanran's eyes, her tone sharp and sarcastic: "Did you do what I asked you to do?"

“No, but I’ve found a better way,” Green Bamboo said meaningfully.

"tell me the story."

Seeing that no one was around, Green Bamboo stepped forward and whispered a few words in Chu Yanran's ear. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, a glint of light flashed in Chu Yanran's eyes.

Chu Yingge really knows how to dig her own grave. Now she can only accept her bad luck.

"Even Chu Yingge can be careless sometimes. Keep a close eye on the Seventh Prince's residence. If Chu Yingge doesn't return tonight, you should know what to do."

"Green Bamboo understands."

"I understand." Chu Yanran put down the fish food in her hand, walked to Green Bamboo's side, and patted Green Bamboo's shoulder: "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. As long as Chu Yingge is not doing well, I will be happy. When I am happy, your problem will be a piece of cake."

"Thank you, Miss." A suspicious blush appeared on Green Bamboo's face.

If no one had given her this hope from the beginning, she would never have dared to dream of rising to a higher social status in her entire life. But now that she has such an opportunity to get close to the young master, why would she refuse?

Everyone has the right to be with the person they love, and she has that right too.

Chu Yanran glanced at the shy Green Bamboo and sneered inwardly. It turned out that the person beside her was also so ambitious. Once Chu Yingge's matter was over, she would teach the person in front of her a good lesson.

……

As darkness fell and the wind picked up, the person in bed still showed no sign of waking up.

Mu Ziyuan sat on the edge of the bed, his handsome eyebrows furrowed tightly. Just now, he had checked the pulse of the person on the bed and discovered something that he couldn't understand at all.

There were two opposing forces clashing within this body, and both of them were very powerful.

He actually knew about this before, but at that time he thought the person in bed knew martial arts, so it was all caused by internal energy stagnation.

However, his pulse diagnosis revealed that the person before him possessed no internal energy.

This is what puzzled him: how could someone without internal energy have two powerful auras in their body? This is definitely not a coincidence.

If it weren't for the two energies restraining each other, the person on the bed would have already perished.

If this matter is handled well, the person in the bed may very well become a martial arts master, unparalleled in the world; but if it's handled poorly, the consequences...

Mu Ziyuan couldn't even bear to think about it.

He couldn't control either of these two auras, let alone someone as weak as Chu Yingge.

His eyes darkened, and feeling somewhat irritated, Mu Ziyuan got up from the bedside and left the room.

When Mu Zi, who was standing outside the door, saw his master come out, he hurriedly went to greet him. He hadn't eaten anything all day, and he was really worried.

"Your Highness, should we order the kitchen to prepare this...?"

"No need, I'm not hungry." Mu Ziyuan interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

He had no appetite at all. He walked into the courtyard, looked up at the starry night sky, and thought of his beloved.

He and Chu Yingge were not childhood sweethearts or lovers at first sight. He simply felt that this woman was different from others. If he had to choose someone to be his queen, Chu Yingge would undoubtedly be the most suitable.

Giving the Gu poison ring to Chu Yingge was merely to eliminate the possibility that Chu Yingge would never betray him in the future. But now, he realizes that he doesn't understand Chu Yingge at all.

He desperately wanted to know everything about Chu Yingge.

This thought made him somewhat annoyed; he seemed unable to remain uninvolved regarding the woman lying in the room.

Although from the beginning he never intended to stay out of it.

Although Mu Zi behind him didn't know why his prince was so emotionally unstable, he could guess a thing or two.

Standing beside Mu Ziyuan, Mu Zi lowered her head and remained silent.

He was the person who understood Mu Ziyuan best in the world, and naturally he knew that at this time he should remain quiet and give his prince some space to think things through. However, he could not leave, because his prince would need his presence at any time.

As expected, after a long silence, Mu Ziyuan finally spoke: "Mu Zi, what kind of feelings do you think Mother had when she fell in love with that heartless man?"

"Your Highness, emperors are inherently ruthless, and the late emperor had no other choice." Although Mu Zi was not a witness to what happened back then, he had been in charge of the investigation for many years, so he was the most qualified to speak on what happened back then.

In imperial families, there is never any true sincerity, only power.

Only by possessing supreme power can one protect the people one loves most. Of course, in order to obtain the highest power, one can also abandon the people one loves most.

Because there can only be one position representing the highest authority.

Hearing Mu Zi's words, Mu Ziyuan smiled bitterly: "Is it impossible to have both? Why must we choose one over the other?"

"It's the same principle as not being able to have your cake and eat it too." Mu Zi's voice sounded particularly cold in the quiet night.

Mu Ziyuan turned around, his eyes fixed on Mu Zi in front of him, as if he was considering or thinking.

"What if I want both?"

"Then Your Highness should see if the people in the room can withstand it." As Mu Zi spoke, she glanced into the room a few times.

Once his prince sits on that throne, the person lying on the bed in that room will be the mother of the nation. Whether he can handle the beauties of the harem is one thing, but the key point is, given Chu Yingge's personality, how could she tolerate others?

Emperors, after all, always had harems.

Mu Ziyuan looked at the room with a hint of disdain in his eyes. The people inside had agreed from the beginning that they would be together for life.

"I have no harem, only her."

"Your Highness means..." Mu Zi was puzzled. Although he had a vague idea of ​​the answer in his heart, he still chose to ask again.

After all, this is definitely not a joke.

Mu Ziyuan didn't speak, but looked at the room with a smile on his lips. The lights were dim, and his thoughts became more and more obvious.

"Take it literally, figure it out yourself." After saying that, he walked past Mu Zi and strode into the room.

Completely bewildered by her master's actions, Mu Zi unconsciously swallowed, suddenly feeling her mouth dry.

If he hadn't misunderstood, his prince was going to dote on the princess exclusively! This was unacceptable! No, absolutely not! He had to find a time to talk to the princess and persuade his prince.

Historically, none of the emperors' favorites had a good ending, and he couldn't just stand by and watch his prince walk down a path of no return.
