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

Guozi didn't say anything more. Indeed, if her young lady really didn't return, then in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, the Prime Minister's Mansion would have to marry someone off to her.

This person is better off being her than anyone else.

"Second Young Master, Guozi knows what to do, so please rest assured."

"kindness."

Chu Yinnan said nothing more and walked outside, looking preoccupied.

If Chu Yinge is alright this time, then everything will be fine. But if Chu Yinge really dies, he will settle all the debts he owes one by one!

……

Fangqing Garden

After having dinner, Zhang sat on a soft couch to rest for a while, with her maid gently fanning her.

Perhaps because of the uncertainty surrounding Chu Yinge's fate, she felt increasingly relieved.

The Prime Minister's residence was brightly decorated, seemingly celebrating Chu Yinge's misfortune.

Guozi knelt on the ground without saying a word. She had been kneeling for an hour, but the person in front of her showed no intention of letting her get up.

If she didn't actually need something from the person in front of her, she really would have picked up the tea on the table and thrown it at them. Oh well, she had to keep up the act.

Perhaps feeling that enough time had passed, Zhang looked at the fruit kneeling before her, her eyes sharp.

"What are you doing here? Do you think Chu Yingge is unreliable, so you've come back to rely on me?"

"No, Guozi has always belonged to Madam."

"Really?" Zhang raised her voice: "Then tell me, where did you go yesterday?"

"Didn't Guozi go to gather military intelligence?"

"So, what results have you found out?"

"Of course," Guozi said affirmatively.

Seeing Guozi's confident demeanor, Zhang was genuinely taken aback. After all, she hadn't actually witnessed Chu Yingge's accident; she had only heard Chu Yinnan give a rough account.

"tell me the story."

"it is good."

Guozi may not have any other skills in this life, but when it comes to lying, she is absolutely shameless. She rattled off a whole bunch of lies, making them sound so real.

Although Zhang was a worldly woman, she still chose to believe Guo Zi in the face of Guo Zi's superb acting skills.

"You mean Chu Yingge is really dead?"

"Yes." Guozi nodded affirmatively: "When the Seventh Prince brought the Ninth Miss out, Guozi went up to check and found that the Ninth Miss had indeed died."

"Hmph...it's karma...karma indeed..." Zhang's expression was almost manic.

She was brought down by Chu Yingge's mother, and now Chu Yingge is dead at such a young age, which is truly gratifying!

Guozi lowered her head, her chubby little face contorted in distress, silently praying: "God, I was just talking nonsense, please make sure my young lady is safe and sound!"

Zhang instructed someone to bring over a jewelry box, and from it, she selected a jade bracelet and handed it to Guozi.

"This is what you deserve. You'll get your share of benefits when you do things for me in the future."

"Guozi doesn't want this benefit."

"Then what do you want?" Zhang looked at the fruit with a knowing expression. These ignorant servants were just greedy.

Guozi hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Actually, Guozi has liked the Seventh Prince for a long time. Now that the Ninth Miss is gone, and the Prime Minister's Mansion needs someone to marry into it, so, Guozi is thinking..."

Guozi didn't finish her sentence, but Zhang Shi already understood. She had been wondering who to marry off. Her precious daughter was the only choice for Empress, so she naturally couldn't bear to part with her.

The other young ladies from the Chu family branch were also unwilling, after all, this Seventh Prince was just a useless person with the title of prince.

She was still troubled by this matter, but now that Guozi volunteered, it has solved her immediate problem.

"That's not impossible, but your status is too lowly. How can you marry into the Seventh Prince's mansion? No matter how bad the Seventh Prince is, he is still a member of the imperial family. What if the Emperor finds out and it implicates the Prime Minister's mansion?"

"That's simple, Madam can just adopt me as her goddaughter. Although it's a bit of a stretch for Guoguo, it's the only way, isn't it?"

Guozi said this because he had grasped Zhang's psychology, and sure enough, Zhang agreed.

"Although you are of lowly status, you are at least obedient, so I will reluctantly accept you."

"Thank you, Madam." Guozi bowed her head in gratitude, but couldn't help rolling her eyes.

She said all the most disgusting things she'd ever said in her life today.

Madam Zhang nodded in satisfaction. This matter was finally resolved, and the Prime Minister's residence would return to peace.

……

The palace was brightly lit.

Mu Jingyu stood outside the main hall, looking down at the desolate and lonely scene below.

Tomorrow is Mu Ziyuan and Chu Yingge's wedding. If Chu Yingge doesn't attend as scheduled, then...

Thinking of this, Mu Jingyu slowly closed his eyes. The war had ended before it even began, yet he felt a little depressed.

That phrase seemed to echo in my ears again:

"Your Majesty, Yin Ge wants nothing but a promise: the position of Empress."

The empress is still in her position, but the person who said those words is...

With a long exhale, Mu Jingyu clenched and unclenched his fists in his sleeves, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were calm.

He was an emperor, and by nature, he was ruthless.

Chu Yinge was just an interlude in his life. Moreover, from the beginning, he only regarded her as a pawn, a means to control Mu Ziyuan.

Such cold-heartedness quickly dispelled any remaining discomfort in Mu Jingyu's heart.

Turning around, he walked towards the brightly lit hall, each step treading on corpses and blood, mixed with supreme glory and boundless loneliness.

Not far away, Yun Nuo watched all this, lowered her head, and a strange emotion flashed in her eyes.

Although the medicine she gave Chu Yingge that day could save her life, Chu Yingge was too badly injured and would definitely not recover in a short time.

Tomorrow's wedding is more of a joke than a wedding.

Those who went to witness the ceremony were probably just there to see a joke.

Shaking her head, Yun Nuo said nothing more and turned to walk towards Lianxi Palace.

The palace was dimly lit, but what it illuminated was never darkness, but rather a facade that masked the unspeakable filth and corruption.

and……

Chu Yin Ge

She was a victim of this dirty deal.

The moon slowly disappeared, the sun slowly rose, day and night alternated, and people with their own worries finally woke up from the torment of the night.

A good show is slowly about to begin.
