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

Yun Nuo stood to the side and spoke respectfully, "Miss Jiu has already fainted, is there anything else we need...?"

"What did I say before?" Lin Wan opened her eyes, her tone already carrying a hint of displeasure.

Yunnuo paused for a moment, already understanding what it meant, but still couldn't help asking another question.

"Your Majesty, you said you wanted to use up all the silver needles, but Ninth Miss has already..."

"What? You're not listening to me anymore?" Yun Nuo was interrupted by Lin Wan before she could finish speaking.

"You're quite the chivalrous one. Don't forget, your life belongs to me. I'm asking you to do something, and you're refusing like this. Do you want me to do it myself?"

"No need, Yunnuo will handle it herself." After saying that, Yunnuo left the inner hall without looking back.

Watching Yun Nuo's departing figure, the resentment in Lin Wan's eyes became even clearer. She was just a young girl, yet she could make the loyal Yun Nuo speak up for her. She was truly extraordinary!

……

In the Prime Minister's residence,

These past few days, Chu Yinnan has been locking himself in his room, his mind filled with images of his younger sister. But who could have imagined that when he returned from his trip, his sister was no longer the person he had imagined?

But in the end, Chu Yingge was not wrong; the one who was wrong was Chu Yanran. Why should he take his anger out on an innocent person?

Thinking of this, Chu Yinnan straightened her clothes, opened the door to her room, and walked towards the backyard.

As soon as I reached the backyard, I encountered Guozi standing at the backyard gate, eagerly waiting.

"Who are you?" Chu Yinnan asked with a frown. He knew Chu Yinge well. There was no one else in the courtyard. Wouldn't it be suspicious to have a maid standing there?

Chu Yinnan had never met Guozi before, but Guozi had. Seeing Chu Yinnan asking her a question, Guozi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Chu Yinnan.

"Greetings, Second Young Master. I am Guozi from the Ninth Miss's courtyard, and I am her personal maid."

"Her personal maid?" Chu Yinnan clearly didn't believe it: "This Ninth Miss has always disliked strangers. Do you have any proof that you are her personal maid?"

"Evidence?" Guozi was taken aback. What evidence did a maid like her need? Was the second young master protecting the ninth young lady too well?

"Second Young Master, I am the newest daughter of the Ninth Miss. If you want proof, I really can't produce it in a short time, but I really didn't lie to you."

"really?"

Guozi nodded vigorously: "It's true."

"Never mind, is your young lady in the courtyard?" Chu Yinnan was too lazy to investigate further and asked directly.

Guozi shook her head, a hint of worry in her eyes, and said, "Miss was taken into the palace by the Emperor's chief eunuch today, and hasn't returned yet."

"About how long has it been?"

"It's been several hours," Guozi said honestly.

Chu Yinnan didn't have time to think much and strode outside. He still vividly remembered what happened last time, and his intuition told him that this time, the same mistake would be repeated.

Seeing Chu Yinnan's panic, Guozi realized that something big was about to happen. She wanted to follow, but unfortunately, she was not very agile. As soon as she stepped out of the Prime Minister's residence, she lost sight of Chu Yinnan. After thinking for a moment, Guozi hurriedly headed towards the Seventh Prince's residence.

Upon arriving at the Seventh Prince's residence, Guozi disregarded everything else and frantically pounded on the door.

"Someone, open the door! I have urgent business to discuss with the Seventh Prince!"

"What's all the noise about!" Mu Zi opened the door, looking impatient. He had just been getting ready to go to sleep.

Guozi stepped forward and grabbed Muzi's arm, shaking it violently. "Please, let me see the Seventh Prince. I have something very important to discuss with him!"

"My lord has already gone to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow during the day." Mu Zi's tone softened unconsciously.

Although the woman in front of me was dressed as a maid, she had an extremely pleasing appearance that made me like her for no reason.

When Guozi saw that this tactic was not working, he simply charged in. One of them knew martial arts, and the other did not. Before long, Guozi could not move an inch.

Left with no other choice, she had to give up on forcing her way through, and her big eyes quickly filled with tears.

"Brother, please let me in. This is a matter of life and death. What will we do if we delay?" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and fell to the ground.

Mu Zi had never seen anything like this before and was at a loss for what to do.

While Mu Zi was in a daze, Guo Zi hurriedly slipped past Mu Zi and ran inside. Mu Zi quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly followed.

Please let me in, I beg you!

"No, His Highness has already gone to sleep; we cannot disturb him."

The noisy commotion in the courtyard startled Mu Ziyuan, who was in the room. He grabbed a coat and came out of the room. Seeing the two fighting, his face darkened even more.

"Your Highness..." Mu Zi stopped her playful antics and stood respectfully to the side.

With no one stopping her, Guozi hurriedly ran towards Mu Ziyuan, but before she even reached him, she knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Your Highness, please save Miss! She was taken to the palace and hasn't returned yet."

"Raise your head." Mu Ziyuan felt that he had heard this voice somewhere before.

Guozi looked up, her little face already streaked with tears, and she kept muttering, "Your Highness, please save Miss..."

"Who is your young lady?" Mu Ziyuan asked with a frown. No wonder when he went to the Prime Minister's residence before, Guozi had been kneeling and had never shown her face. That's why Mu Ziyuan thought the voice was familiar but the face was unfamiliar.

Guozi seemed to sense the displeasure of the person in front of her, and lost her original enthusiasm, saying timidly, "My young lady is Chu Yingge, the ninth young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion. Isn't Your Highness the one who knows this best? The two of you are about to get married."

"Prepare the car!"

As soon as Guozi finished speaking, Mu Ziyuan hurriedly instructed Mu Zi to prepare the car, while he went to wait at the gate. Guozi hurriedly got up from the ground, not even having time to clean the dirt off her knees, and rushed after him.

A horse-drawn carriage sped off towards the palace.

……

Outside the palace gates, Chu Yinnan looked at the heavily guarded soldiers and the thick palace walls before her, and was momentarily at a loss.

How could he forget that it's already night, and without a token, one absolutely cannot enter the palace gates?

With such high palace walls, it wouldn't be impossible for him to use his light-footed skills, but there are many hidden sentries in the palace, which might cause unnecessary trouble.

He himself doesn't care, but it would be bad if he took his anger out on the Prime Minister's mansion.

The carriage came galloping by, and Chu Yinnan turned around. By the moonlight, she could see the person in the carriage clearly. Wasn't that Mu Zi from the Seventh Prince's Mansion? It seemed that the person in the carriage must be the Seventh Prince.

The weight on his heart could finally be lifted a little. He didn't have a token to enter the palace, but the Seventh Prince, being a member of the imperial family, certainly did!

"Whoa!" Mu Zi reined in his horse and jumped off the carriage.

"Is Young Master Chu doing this for the Princess?"
