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

Mu Ziyuan had already walked far away, so of course he couldn't hear Mu Zi's wails behind him. You should know that the punishments of the Seventh Prince's Mansion were no joke.

It seems that Mu Zi needs to take a good rest.

……

The matter of the Prime Minister's Ninth Miss living in the Seventh Prince's Mansion before marriage has gradually subsided in the capital. After all, no one saw the Prime Minister's wife take the Ninth Miss away from the Seventh Prince's Mansion that day.

However, while the situation in the capital city was calmed down, a storm was just beginning to brew in the imperial palace.

Inside Lianxi Palace, Lin Wan looked at the nail polish on her fingers, a hint of anger flickering in her eyes.

She had already helped Mu Jingyu successfully ascend the throne, and she originally didn't want to get involved in other matters. However, since this matter concerned Mu Ziyuan, she had no choice but to take it seriously.

From the moment she sided with Mu Jingyu, she no longer wanted Mu Ziyuan to interfere in politics. She only hoped that Mu Ziyuan would live a good life and stay away from all this trouble.

However, the person Mu Ziyuan is going to marry seems to be a bit restless.

In her heart, Mu Ziyuan should marry a lady from a respectable family and live out the rest of his life peacefully.

But it seems her plan is likely to fail.

Although the ninth young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion is born out of wedlock, her status is good enough for Mu Ziyuan. But now that such rumors have surfaced, she probably needs to think things over carefully.

"Yun Nuo," Lin Wan said softly.

A short while later, a figure appeared on the ground, but the person could not be seen; only the sound drifted over.

"Queen Mother."

"Go check it out."

"Yes."

Yun Nuo probably doesn't even remember how long she's been with Lin Wan, but as long as Lin Wan speaks, she knows what Lin Wan wants.

The dark figure quickly walked out of Lianxi Palace.

Watching the shadow disappear on the ground, Lin Wan leaned back. That matter would always be a knife in her heart. The reason she assisted Mu Jingyu to become emperor was naturally due to her own selfish motives.

Her intuition told her that Mu Ziyuan's return this time must be because of what happened back then.

Well, what's meant to happen will happen. Rather than trying to avoid it, it's better to accept it.

In the dim, dark night, the candlelight in Lianxi Palace flickered, blurring not only Lin Wan's eyes but also her heart.

……

In the backyard of the Prime Minister's residence.

Despite her discomfort, large beads of sweat slowly slid down her forehead, soaking her clothes and her dark hair.

In the 21st century, she lived a life even more difficult and lonely than she does now, and she always managed to get through it by gritting her teeth.

How could she, the chairwoman of the assassin empire, die from a mere datura? You must understand, in the 21st century, datura is hardly considered a poison.

With her hands clenched tightly, Chu Yingge tried her best to endure it, but no matter how hard she tried, it was to no avail. Although her body had no internal energy, there were two opposing forces that were causing the datura toxin in her body to spread even faster.

She learned many antidotes in the 21st century, but now she has no strength at all and can't even stand up from the rocking chair.

A gentle breeze blew by, and pear petals fell on Chu Yingge. If one ignored Chu Yingge's feelings, from a distance, it all looked like an extremely beautiful painting.

Mu Ziyuan stood quietly not far away, showing no intention of going forward. Just looking at Chu Yingge from a distance, he felt content.

He never cared too much about women, after all, he had not yet avenged his mother's death, and he would never think of feelings for his children. However, Chu Yingge was no ordinary woman. He fell in love with her at first sight and could never get out of it.

Chu Yingge, sitting in the rocking chair, felt as if a million ants were crawling all over her body. If she didn't find a way to save herself, she might really die here.

Struggling to stand up from the rocking chair, but too weak, she felt dizzy and was about to fall to the ground. In the blink of an eye, Mu Ziyuan quickly used his internal energy and caught the person in his arms before Chu Yingge fell to the ground.

"How did you get yourself into this state in such a short time?" Mu Ziyuan asked with heartache, reaching out to touch Chu Yingge's forehead, which was burning hot.

"I sent you back not so you could suffer. Chu Tian has really gone too far! You are already the well-known Seventh Prince's Consort, yet they still dare to treat you like this!"

Hearing voices faintly, Chu Yingge opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, suddenly feeling much more at ease.

In an instant, he fainted again.

Now she could rest assured, because as long as Mu Ziyuan was around, he would not allow her to die.

Looking at the person who had fainted again in his arms, a ruthless glint appeared in Mu Ziyuan's eyes. He had already moved up the wedding date, but now it seemed that even if it was moved up, he wouldn't be able to wait any longer.

The person in his arms must be under his very nose to be considered safe.

"Rest assured, I will absolutely ensure that nothing happens to you."

The person in his arms let out a soft moan, as if responding to what Mu Ziyuan had just said. Not far away, Yun Nuo watched this scene and pondered several things.

She had served the Empress Dowager the longest, so she naturally knew what the Empress Dowager wanted her to investigate. However, she never expected that the Seventh Prince would actually fall in love with a woman, who was none other than the Ninth Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If she were just conventional, it wouldn't be a problem, but she is clearly a seductive woman who doesn't uphold traditional virtues.

She's already completely infatuated with the Seventh Prince before they've even officially married. Who knows what might happen if they actually do?

No, she must tell the Empress Dowager this news as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Yun Nuo dared not linger any longer, turned around and left the Prime Minister's residence, quickly heading towards the palace.

Mu Ziyuan, who was holding Chu Yingge, frowned. He had noticed that someone had been spying on him, but he didn't care about chasing after them now; the person in his arms was more important.

Carrying Chu Yingge into the room, Mu Ziyuan gently placed her on the bed before taking her pulse. It was clearly abnormal, but Mu Ziyuan couldn't figure out why.

He can only take pulses, but he can't cure diseases. If he were a skilled doctor, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

He may not be able to cure it, but that doesn't mean others can't.

"Stay here and I will find someone to rescue you." After saying that, Mu Ziyuan covered Chu Yingge with a blanket, turned around and left the Prime Minister's residence.

Chu Yingge's illness couldn't be delayed, so he naturally didn't dare to linger. Just as Mu Ziyuan was leaving, a dark figure swiftly slipped into the backyard of the Prime Minister's residence.

The door to the room opened and then closed again, the speed of which was truly astonishing.

A gentle breeze blew, and the backyard of the Prime Minister's residence was as quiet as ever, as if nothing had ever happened.
