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

"Want to know?"

"Yes." Guozi nodded hurriedly.

Seeing that no one was around, Mu Zi whispered a few words in Guo Zi's ear.

"Hahahaha." Guozi burst into laughter: "Only my young lady could come up with something like this."

“Who says otherwise?” Mu Zi agreed wholeheartedly.

After laughing enough, Guozi naturally took Muzi's hand and ran towards the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course, we're here to watch the show."

"You don't need to run so fast!"

"I'm just afraid of missing out, aren't I?"

……

The Seventh Prince's Mansion was bustling with activity.

Although the title of Seventh Prince was merely nominal, he was still a prince, and officials from the court came one after another with their families.

A chorus of congratulations filled the air, and the house was packed with guests.

"The Emperor has arrived!" A shrill voice pierced the air, and all the civil and military officials stood up in shock.

Everyone knows that the Emperor dislikes the Seventh Prince the most, so it's really hard to understand why he would come to observe the ceremony like this.

The Imperial Guards entered first, forming two lines, and the previously crowded place suddenly became spacious.

None of the civil or military officials dared to speak, and they stood in their seats, not daring to move.

Mu Jingyu walked in, and upon seeing the scene, he couldn't help but ponder for a moment. He walked to the VIP seats to the side and sat down, but no one around him dared to come and sit down.

Seated in the adjacent seats were Chu Moran and Chu Yanran, a brother and sister. They were the only two who were not surprised at all by Mu Jingyu's arrival.

Chu Moran wasn't surprised because she already knew there would be such a place.

However, Chu Yanran was so engrossed in seeing Mu Jingyu that she couldn't think of anything else.

Although Chu Yanran's facial injuries had almost healed, she still wore a veil just in case. Sitting next to Chu Moran, she was dignified, elegant, and graceful. It was hard to imagine that such a refined young lady was the person who had recently been at the center of controversy in the capital.

She glanced shyly at Mu Jingyu sitting opposite her out of the corner of her eye.

Such actions did not escape Chu Moran's eyes. He had long known what his sister was thinking. He coughed lightly and did not say anything more.

Sitting in the superior position, Mu Jingyu glanced around, but finally focused his gaze on the two people dressed in wedding attire. He kept turning the ring on his finger, his expression unreadable.

If the groom is still Mu Ziyuan, then could the bride also be Chu Yingge?

Thinking this way, the expression on his face softened a little.

Seeing Mu Jingyu's arrival, Mu Ziyuan didn't seem surprised at all. At this point, it would have been surprising if Mu Jingyu hadn't shown up at the last minute.

Doesn't the fact that the courtyard is full of Imperial Guards say it all? He doesn't believe that these Imperial Guards are simply there to protect Mu Jingyu's safety.

Chu Yingge remained silent beneath the bright red veil. Clearly, although her head was covered, she had just heard the news of Mu Jingyu's arrival.

Those who know the inside story of this wedding know that she was seriously injured. Even if she hadn't died, she would never have attended the wedding. The bride in this wedding is definitely not her.

If you manage to get away with it, that's fine, but if you don't...

When the truth was exposed on the spot, both the Seventh Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion would be punished for deceiving the emperor, a capital offense. Neither the Prime Minister's Mansion nor the Seventh Prince's Mansion could escape this fate.

But Mu Jingyu wasn't stupid; he wouldn't use this as a reason to overthrow the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

This would only give the civil and military officials something to gossip about.

If he were to punish them leniently and pardon them for deceiving the emperor, the civil and military officials would surely have even greater affection for the new emperor, Mu Jingyu.

At that time, the Prime Minister's Mansion will only receive a moderate punishment, while the Seventh Prince's Mansion will likely be expelled from the capital.

After all, the fact that he wasn't executed for deceiving the emperor is something to be grateful for.

In the end, Mu Jingyu was the victor in the show.

Chu Yingge's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. The whole plan was meticulous and her calculations were brilliant. However, Mu Jingyu had miscalculated one thing: her.

Among those present, those who came to see the spectacle would never have guessed that the person under the bright red veil was none other than Chu Yinge.

Mu Jingyu couldn't have imagined it, and Chu Yanran certainly couldn't have.

Although the originally lively atmosphere became somewhat awkward due to Mu Jingyu's arrival, the wedding continued.

"Bowing to Heaven and Earth!" The master of ceremonies' voice rang out at the opportune moment.

Mu Ziyuan reached out and took Chu Yingge's sash in his hand. Holding this warm hand, the smile in his eyes became even more genuine.

He almost lost the person in front of him, but fate was kind to him, and at this critical moment, he still kept her by his side.

We bowed to heaven and earth, letting them bear witness.

Chu Yingge bent slightly, her smile even brighter. She had been here for so long, and although she had the title of the Ninth Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had never truly had a home.

But now,

She's pregnant.

Chu Yanran glanced at the people performing the wedding ceremony, winked at Chu Moran, and silently took out a handkerchief from her bosom, preparing to put on a show.

Chu Moran understood immediately and kept a close eye on the two people standing in the center. The Imperial Guards around them had their swords on their sides, ready to stop the wedding at any moment with a single command.

The atmosphere gradually became subtle.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!" the master of ceremonies shouted, and everyone stared at the newlyweds, Chu Yingge and Mu Ziyuan, for this was the final ritual.

Standing face to face, Chu Yingge's eyes were covered by a bright red veil, so she couldn't see anything, but she could still feel Mu Ziyuan's burning gaze.

From this day forward, she is now the proper Seventh Prince's Consort, and Mu Ziyuan's only woman.

They now have the right to stand openly by Mu Ziyuan's side.

She bowed slightly in greeting, and a gentle breeze blew by, lifting Chu Yingge's bright red veil. Her plain, lightly made-up face was about to be seen by others, but fortunately, Mu Ziyuan reacted quickly. He hurriedly pulled Chu Yingge into his arms with one hand and caught the red veil in mid-air with the other, covering Chu Yingge's face with it again.

Nestled tightly in Mu Ziyuan's arms, Chu Yingge's face revealed a bloodthirsty smile. Sure enough, she had guessed correctly.

Today is a conspiracy.

The wind seemed normal just now, but why did it suddenly pick up around her on such a clear blue sky?

Although she didn't see it, she could still feel the fierce wind just now, which was clearly the palm wind forced out by someone who knew martial arts using internal force.

and,

The person sitting in that direction is Chu Moran.

What a wonderful brother and sister pair, they really work together.
