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

"You!" Chu Yanran was furious. She hadn't expected the person in front of her to fall for her trick. But it didn't matter; she always had a way.

Thinking of this, Chu Yanran waved her hand, and the servants who had been surrounding Chu Yingge all retreated.

"Are you really in a good mood? I just saw that Chu Yinnan didn't look too good!" Chu Yanran said deliberately.

The mere mention of Chu Yinnan brought a pang of sadness to Chu Yingge's heart, and in the blink of an eye, Chu Yanran slapped her hard across the face again.

A crisp sound rang in her ears. Chu Yingge wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and the anger in her eyes could no longer be suppressed!

Before Chu Yanran could react, Chu Yingge untied the long whip that was coiled around her waist and lashed it at Chu Yanran's face.

Chu Yingge was already in a fit of rage and had no control over her strength. The whip landed directly on Chu Yanran's face, and blood immediately appeared, looking extremely shocking.

The consequence of this was that Chu Yingge's poison spread even faster, and her body gradually began to feel unwell.

Chu Yanran was completely stunned. It took her a while to react. She covered her face with her hands and screamed as she ran outside!

That's her face. Without that face, she would never have had the chance to stand beside the emperor, let alone become empress.

Seeing that the young lady had left, everyone had no reason to stay in the backyard and followed Chu Yanran away.

Once everyone left, Chu Yingge could no longer hold on. She collapsed in the courtyard, panting heavily. She must still have a way to neutralize the datura poison in her mind.

However, all she knew was how to use modern medicine. In ancient times, there were no potassium permanganate solutions or magnesium oxide, although she knew how to extract these things. But ancient times did not provide her with the tools to extract these things, so the methods in her mind were extremely unreliable.

However, she seemed to have read in some book how to detoxify with Chinese medicine, such as decocting licorice and mung beans and drinking the decoction frequently, or decocting mung beans, honeysuckle, forsythia, and licorice in water and drinking the decoction.

Oh, right, there's another way: decoct Saposhnikovia divaricata and Cinnamomum cassia in water and drink the decoction. All three methods can achieve the purpose of detoxification.

However, given her current condition, she cannot use these three methods to detoxify herself, because she lacks the necessary materials, and she has lost her basic mobility.

Struggling to get up from the ground, Chu Yingge walked to the pear tree, lay down on the rocking chair, feeling as if all her strength had been drained, her clothes were soaked with sweat.

Now, all we can do is pray that the people who are causing her trouble won't come for the time being, and that she can get through tonight. She should be fine then.

Datura is not highly poisonous, but in ancient times, in places where medical knowledge was not very advanced, the toxicity of datura could be fatal.

However, if she can survive a day and a night, the poison will dissipate automatically. She won't get angry again and trigger the poison, but if someone tries to cause trouble, that's another story.

Hopefully, Chu Yanran will learn her lesson and not come looking for her for a while.

……

Inside the Seventh Prince's Mansion, in the Bamboo Garden.

Mu Zi stood outside the tightly closed room door, feeling somewhat lost.

No one knows what happened, but in just one day, his prince became a completely different person, locking himself in his room and refusing to come out or allow anyone else to enter.

This worried Mu Zi greatly. If he knew the reason, he would naturally take steps to solve it. But the key problem now is that he doesn't even know the reason, so he naturally feels a little panicked.

Walking up the steps and standing at the door, Mu Zi gently knocked: "Your Highness, it's getting dark. Aren't you planning to have dinner tonight?"

The people in the room still did not react.

Mu Zi scratched his head anxiously. This hadn't happened in a long time, but ever since he met the princess, his prince would occasionally act strangely, which made him inexplicably anxious!

Thinking of this, Mu Zi's mind seemed to be enlightened. Since his prince refused to come out, why not just force his prince to come out?

"Your Highness, what brings you here? I don't know what's wrong with the Prince, he just..." Before Mu Zi could finish speaking, the door creaked open.

Mu Ziyuan stood at the door, his gaze sweeping around. When he confirmed that Mu Zi was the only one there, his expression turned so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

"Go and receive your punishment." With that, Mu Ziyuan turned to go inside.

Mu Zi hurriedly stood in the middle of the door, blocking Mu Ziyuan's way. Normally, even if he had eight hundred lives, Mu Zi wouldn't dare to act so recklessly. However, he really couldn't bear to see his prince tormenting him like this.

“Your Highness, Mu Zi knows you want to see the Princess, but if you want to see the Princess, you should go to see her instead of locking yourself in your room and refusing to eat or drink.”

"You're wrong, I didn't," Mu Ziyuan said coldly.

Mu Zi couldn't help but laugh. Even her prince could be so awkward at times. It seemed that he really cared about the princess. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so hesitant and cautious.

“Your Highness, if you weren’t thinking about the Princess Consort, how could you have fallen for Mu Zi’s trick just now? This is a case of being blinded by concern. Because Your Highness cares about the Princess Consort, you lost your composure.”

"You're really becoming more and more disrespectful." Mu Ziyuan, having been hit where it hurt, stopped trying to argue.

He was indeed thinking about Chu Yingge, and sure enough, his composure had no effect.

He was different towards her; he could fool anyone, but he couldn't fool his own heart.

"Mu Zi, if the person you like doesn't necessarily only have you in their heart, but you care about her a lot, would you let this relationship continue? Or should you let it die before it even begins?" Mu Ziyuan thought for a moment and then asked.

Hearing his lord say this, Mu Zi tilted his head. He really didn't know how to answer the question, because he had never experienced love either.

"If it were me, I think I would try my best to make sure that I'm the only one in her heart."

"Do you really think that way?"

"Of course." Mu Zi nodded without hesitation: "What is there to doubt? You know how difficult it is to meet someone you like. If you don't seize the opportunity, you may not have another chance."

"Hold on?" Mu Ziyuan repeated softly, nodding thoughtfully.

Indeed, why should he consider so much? If Chu Yingge has someone else in her heart, wouldn't it be enough for him to just occupy Chu Yingge's heart?

"What you said is very good, but you still have to accept the punishment." After saying that, Mu Ziyuan turned and left, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Watching his lord's departing figure, Mu Zi finally felt relieved, but soon, another question came to mind.

"Your Highness, can we please not accept the punishment?"
