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

Mu Zi looked at Yun Nuo with an expression as if she had swallowed a fly, her eyes slightly disgusted: "I was the one who did all the work, so of course you had no qualms about it."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!" Yun Nuo said impatiently.

It must be said that Mu Zi was quite capable. She quickly tore open a gap and sent Yun Nuo inside. By the time the guards of the Netherworld Palace reacted, Yun Nuo had already slipped into the Netherworld Palace. It was just that Mu Zi suffered, as she was constantly being chased by the guards.

Having finally shaken off the guards, they were just about to stop and rest when they saw Hongxiu, the head maid of the Netherworld Palace.

Hongxiu sized up the person in front of her, naturally knowing Muzi's identity, but her words were anything but polite.

"What, your master isn't coming, so he sent you to scout things out?"

"No, I'm just looking around."

"You managed to tear a hole in our Netherworld Palace's barrier just by looking around; you seem quite skilled."

"You flatter me," Mu Zi said with a smile.

It's said that you shouldn't hit someone who's smiling, but there's no such rule here at Hongxiu's place. She just lashed out at Muzi with her whip.

"You think you can get away with this just because we've given you a little taste of our own medicine? Do you think our Netherworld Palace is a place where you can run wild?"

Mu Zi was caught off guard and was whipped. His face turned ashen. The people of the Netherworld Palace were really not easy to offend. He hadn't even done anything and he was already whipped. It seemed that he could only hope that Yun Nuo would have a good time.

“Young lady, if you don’t know the whole story, don’t talk nonsense. Your master and my emperor can be husband and wife. Aren’t you going a bit too far?”

"Husband and wife? Hah."

Hongxiu scoffed at this. She had heard a lot about her palace master's affairs. To be honest, if she had to choose, she would never choose Mu Ziyuan, who had abandoned her palace master.

Yu Yan, on the other hand, seems quite good. For the past three years, she has come to the Netherworld Palace regardless of wind or rain. In that respect, no one can compare.

"Let me tell you, you should be glad I'm in a good mood today, otherwise you would be dead here. Don't say I didn't warn you, the Netherworld Palace is not a place for you. Get out of here now, and I'll let bygones be bygones."

"Then I really have to thank you for your magnanimity." Although Mu Zi was angry, she didn't want to stoop to the level of a woman and turned to leave the Netherworld Palace.

Watching Mu Zi's departing figure, Hong Xiu's eyes were filled with gloom.

This person's presence here at this moment is definitely not a coincidence; there must be something she hasn't discovered. Could it be the Netherworld Palace...?

Hongxiu felt a sense of unease and quickly headed towards the Netherworld Palace.

……

The vast Netherworld Palace was completely silent.

When Yunnuo appeared, she made sure to look around to make sure no one was following her before carefully walking into the inner hall.

Chu Yingge lay on the bed without opening her eyes even once.

"You're really bold, daring to trespass into my Netherworld Palace without my permission."

“Master…” Yun Nuo stood there, looking at the person lying on the bed, her mind filled with thoughts.

She thought she would never have the chance to meet him again in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, she saw him at this moment. Yun Nuo suddenly wanted to cry, and tears fell instantly.

For Yunnuo, she would rather bleed than shed tears, but at this moment, she really couldn't hold back anymore.

Upon hearing Yun Nuo's voice, Chu Yingge frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

The familiar things seemed to have taken on a touch of melancholy, and at that moment, Chu Yingge felt a sharp pain in her heart.

The old friend is still the same old friend, but she is no longer the same as she used to be.

Three years is neither a long nor a short time, but it is enough to change everything. When everything has become unrecognizable, it is impossible to turn back.

"Yunnuo, this is not a place for you."

“I know, but I wanted to see Master. It’s been three years since Master was last heard from. Yun Nuo has never given up on Master. Now that I’ve seen him, I feel much more at ease.”

"Your loyalty is truly admirable."

Chu Yingge got up from the bed and beckoned to Yun Nuo: "Come here, I have something to ask you."

"Yes." Yun Nuo walked over obediently with her eyebrows lowered.

Chu Yingge looked at Yun Nuo, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes: "Have you... seen the fruit?"

"I've seen it; I go to see it every holiday."

"That's good. Are all my brothers alright?" Chu Yingge thought of Chu Yinnan again.

No matter how she fell into the demonic path, these people were the softest part of Chu Yingge's heart. When she mentioned them, the ruthlessness in her eyes naturally diminished.

Yunnuo wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded: "Young Master Chu is doing well. He is now the king of Qingshui Kingdom. After the emperor became the overlord of the Nine Provinces, there was no one to take care of Qingshui Kingdom. It just so happens that Young Master Chu is the consort, so he rightfully inherited the throne."

"Oh, right," Yun Nuo paused and continued, "Young Master Chu and the princess had a baby boy, and he looks very cute."

As if knowing Chu Yingge's doubts, Yun Nuo finished saying everything she needed to say in one breath.

Chu Yingge nodded, feeling a little more at ease, at least the people she cared about were all doing well.

"My brother seems to be living a more and more comfortable life, which is some consolation to me."

"My lord, please don't say that. Actually, you don't know, but the Emperor..."

"Stop talking." Chu Yingge shook her head, stopping Yun Nuo from saying anything more.

Ultimately, the person who understands Mu Ziyuan best in this world is her, not anyone else. In just three short years, she was able to dominate the Nine Provinces. The effort she put in is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Although she did have the idea of ​​unifying the Nine Provinces at the time, it would take at least ten years if she were to actually do it.

So, Mu Ziyuan's life has not been easy these past three years, and Chu Yingge knows all of this, but she just pretends not to know.

Because only by pretending not to know can she avoid feeling sorry for him.

Seeing her master's rejection, Yun Nuo naturally didn't dare to say anything more and had to change the subject.

“If Master doesn’t want to say, then don’t. But Yun Nuo has some good news. The Mo Pavilion is now a powerful force in the martial arts world that can dominate a region. Even Mo Ye and his group cannot compare to it.”

"Was it under your guidance?"

"Not really, Mo Feng did help out."

"It seems that Mo Ye really did raise a traitor." Chu Yingge finally showed a smile.

Yunnuo scratched her head shyly, a blush creeping across her face.

"Actually, the alliance leader also supports it; otherwise, even if Mo Feng had a lot of guts, he wouldn't dare to do it."

"You've taken away his most capable subordinate, how could he not support you?"

"Not at all. The Alliance Leader clearly didn't hold it against you because of Master. But then again, the Alliance Leader is quite devoted to Master. Since Master doesn't want that so-called Lord of the Feather Clan, nor our Emperor, perhaps the Alliance Leader could give it a try. What does Master think?"

Chu Yingge rolled her eyes at Yun Nuo: "Can't I live a solitary life for the rest of my life? Growing old alone is a good choice for me, don't you think?"

"What you're saying isn't right, Master. How could you possibly grow old alone? Don't you still have Yun Nuo by your side?"

"You have the heart to abandon your family's Mofeng and follow me?" Chu Yingge teased.

Yun Nuo's face flushed red again at the mention of Mo Feng.

It seems like you're doing well, otherwise you wouldn't have such a radiant complexion.

Hongxiu rushed over and saw this harmonious scene. Suddenly, she realized that she was the superfluous one.

"Palace Master, she...I..."

"It's nothing, they're one of us."

"Oh, yes." Hongxiu glared at Yunnuo resentfully, her face darkening.

Her palace master hadn't been this kind and gentle to anyone in a long time, and now, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

However, Yun Nuo didn't care about Hong Xiu at all. Although they were both under her command, the two of them held different weights in Chu Yingge's heart. It was obvious at a glance which one was more important.

Chu Yingge was unaware of the two people's ulterior motives. She instructed Hongxiu to prepare dinner and left Yunnuo in the Netherworld Palace tonight.

Hongxiu was already unhappy, and when she heard her palace master give such an order, her displeasure became even more obvious.

“Palace Master, we in the Netherworld Palace have never had the custom of letting people stay overnight. Why don’t we have dinner and then send someone to take her back?”

"I set the rules, so naturally I can change them."

"But……"

"Hongxiu!" Chu Yingge's face showed a hint of anger: "You don't think you can boss me around now, do you? I am still the master of this Netherworld Palace, and I make all the decisions. If you continue to be so rude, then I will have to find a way to teach you some manners!"

Chu Yingge has no feelings for Hongxiu, so when it comes to getting serious, Chu Yingge is absolutely ruthless.

Since her own palace master had already said so, Hongxiu had no choice but to nod and quietly leave the Netherworld Palace, even if she was unwilling.

Otherwise, if the stalemate continues, she won't be leaving the Netherworld Palace on her own; she'll be carried out.

After Hongxiu left, Yunnuo turned to look at Chuyinge on the bed.

"Master must have suffered a lot these past three years, right?"

"No."

"Master, please don't hide it from me. These past three years, your life may not have been pleasant, otherwise you wouldn't have gone astray." When Yun Nuo said this, there was a hint of heartache in her voice, which warmed Chu Yingge's wounded heart for a long time.

She has indeed had a hard time these past three years, but who knows? Mu Ziyuan only thought about taking her home, but did he know that three years had changed so much?
