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

After Chu Moran returned to the Prime Minister's residence, he began packing his things. Zhang Shi, who rushed over upon hearing the news, was immediately dumbfounded when she saw the situation.

She thought it was just hearsay, never imagining it was actually true.

Her son was the eldest son of the Prime Minister's mansion and the city lord of Luocheng. Although his power was not overwhelming, how could he be exiled so easily?

She had finally managed to bring her son back, but who knows how many more years he would be gone?

Moreover, Los Angeles and the frontier are not the same.

His son was the city lord of Luocheng, receiving treatment equivalent to that of the emperor in the capital. But he was exiled to that harsh and desolate frontier, where he might never see him again.

Thinking of this, Zhang's eyes welled up with tears.

"Mo Ran, how did you manage to offend the Emperor? Isn't he the one who values ​​you the most?"

"It's not that I offended the Emperor, it's that I offended Chu Yingge," Chu Moran said expressionlessly.

Although he was unwilling to accept this, he accepted his defeat. Besides, even if the frontier was a harsh and cold place, he was sure he could still achieve something great.

Zhang's gaze instantly shifted from heartache to malice. She had panicked upon hearing the news that Chu Moran had been exiled to the frontier and rushed over without asking any questions.

I never expected that that wretched girl Chu Yingge would not die. Not only that, she even exiled her precious son to the frontier.

How could she swallow this insult!

"Mo Ran, this matter absolutely cannot be left like this, I must..."

"Mother, let's leave it at that." Before Zhang could finish speaking, Chu Moran interrupted her.

Frowning impatiently, Chu Moran stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhang Shi standing in front of him. His already agitated heart became even more restless.

"Chu Yingge is now the Seventh Princess Consort. Even if Mother is the head mistress of the Prime Minister's mansion, her status is still much lower than hers. How can we pursue this to the end?"

"But……"

"No buts, this time, I admit defeat," Chu Moran said coldly, his words devoid of any emotion.

Zhang wanted to say something more, but she was silenced by her son's appearance. In her memory, her son had always been extremely filial to her. The reason he had become like this must be because he had been hurt by this incident.

Ultimately, it's still related to Chu Yinge.

"Mo Ran, since you're no longer pursuing this matter, there's nothing I can say. But you must be careful."

"I know."

Zhang's worries were not unfounded. If Chu Moran stayed in the capital, some people would be afraid of the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Emperor, which would make things a little easier for Chu Moran. After all, as the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had offended quite a few people.

Now that the news of Chu Moran's exile to the frontier has spread, those who want revenge are already itching to act.

Among them were people from Chu Yingge's side.

Compared to Chu Moran's side, the atmosphere in Chu Yanran's courtyard was much more cheerful.

She never expected that this misfortune would turn into a blessing in disguise.

Although seeing Chu Yingge still alive and well made her feel a little upset, as long as she could enter the palace and get close to Mu Jingyu, she didn't care about anything else.

Once she sits on the throne as Empress, she will slowly settle the score with Chu Yingge.

Green Bamboo was packing her things, her expression somewhat nonchalant. She had also heard about what had happened at the Seventh Prince's mansion, and naturally knew that Chu Moran was going to be exiled to the frontier.

The frontier is a harsh and cold place. I wonder if the young master can endure it. Thinking of this, Green Bamboo became even more worried.

Seeing Lüzhu's appearance, Chu Yanran naturally guessed what was going on. She hadn't expected that this girl was so infatuated with her brother.

Enough, enough. We're both in love, and she won't deliberately make things difficult for us.

"Green Bamboo, you don't need to come to the palace with me this time. After all, I'm going to the palace as a maid, not as a young lady who needs to be served."

"Those green bamboos..."

"Go and follow your brother," Chu Yanran said calmly.

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Green Bamboo's eyes, but it quickly faded away.

Even if she doesn't follow the young lady, she might not have the chance to follow the young master.

"Miss, I'm afraid the young master won't take me with him, since Green Bamboo doesn't know anything."

"How do you know it's not allowed without even asking?" Chu Yanran took the bundle from Lvzhu's hand, opened it, and looked at the contents.

Because he was distracted, none of the things he packed were of any use.

"Your heart isn't with me anymore, so there's no use keeping you around. Go and serve the one you love."

"Thank you, Miss." Green Bamboo knelt down with a thud and kowtowed several times before turning around and leaving the room.

Watching Green Bamboo's departing figure, Chu Yanran felt a sense of relief. Although she had been using Green Bamboo to achieve her own goals, she could understand Green Bamboo's feelings of liking someone.

Because she loved Mu Jingyu in the same way.

Speaking of Mu Jingyu, Chu Yanran felt a sweet sensation.

No sooner had Green Bamboo left than Zhang arrived.

Looking at the bundle his daughter had packed, his eyes darkened, and he felt a surge of irritation.

Since she had already heard about Chu Moran's situation, she naturally also heard about Chu Yanran's situation. She originally thought her precious daughter would be furious, but now it seems that she is not angry at all, and is actually in a good mood.

It seems that the news that Chu Yingge is alive has no effect on her at all.

He walked over, reached out and pressed down on the busy Chu Yanran, and spoke with a somewhat complicated expression.

"You must already know that Chu Yingge is still alive."

"I saw it with my own eyes." Chu Yanran stopped what she was doing and stared at Zhang Shi.

“I know what Mother is going to say, but none of that matters now. What matters is that I’m going to enter the palace.”

"Silly girl, you entered the palace as a maid, not as the empress. What's there to be happy about?" Madam Zhang said indignantly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanran's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Mother, now that I've entered the palace, how far am I from becoming Empress?"

"How easy is it to go from a palace maid to an empress?" Zhang was still somewhat skeptical.

She knew her own daughter well, and if Chu Yinge had such confidence, she would believe it too. But her daughter was not Chu Yinge; she didn't have that kind of courage and cunning.

It's already a feat to just stand firm in the deep, murky palace; how could she possibly dream of becoming empress?

"Yanran, why don't you ask your father to plead with the Emperor not to let you enter the palace as a maid? You can still enter the palace through the imperial concubine selection in the future."

"Mother, please don't ruin Yanran's plans!" Chu Yanran said hurriedly.
