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

Chu Yingge's face was devoid of any smile. She had been tolerating Lin Wan for a long time, and had originally intended to give Lin Wan some face, after all, Lin Wan was still the Empress Dowager.

However, just now, Lin Wan had crossed her bottom line.

"How dare you threaten him?" The murderous intent in his voice could no longer be concealed.

Lin Wan frowned. She had originally thought that Chu Yingge just wanted revenge for what had happened before, but now it seemed that things were not so simple at all.

Because she saw murderous intent in Chu Yingge's eyes.

Yes, that's definitely not a lie; the person in front of her really wanted to kill her.

Chu Yingge's gaze made Lin Wan feel inexplicably uneasy. She was also a ruthless person and naturally knew why he had such an expression. Thinking about it, she felt a little scared.

It seems she has really messed with a troublesome person.

But her pride absolutely forbade her to show the slightest fear. She braced herself and met Chu Yingge's gaze with an air of confidence.

"You've only just become the Seventh Prince's consort and you're already on his side. You really are a virtuous wife."

"I don't know if she's a good wife, but if anyone makes things difficult for him, I will definitely not let that person get away with it."

Chu Yingge used her other hand to clamp down on Lin Wan's chin, a gesture Lin Wan had made to her before.

"Your Majesty, I think you should understand. Now that I've broken ties with you, there's no need for us to hide anything anymore. If you have the ability, then get rid of me; but if you don't..."

Chu Yingge paused, her tone becoming even colder.

“I will kick you out of this position and you will never be able to get back up.”

If these words had come from someone else, Lin Wan might not have thought much of it, but since they came from Chu Yingge, Lin Wan felt a chill run down her spine just by hearing them.

It felt as if Chu Yingge had already put her in a hopeless situation, leaving her with no chance of recovery.

These words surprised not only Lin Wan, but also Yun Nuo and Mu Ziyuan.

Yun Nuo never expected that Chu Yingge would be so bold as to bring this matter to light.

Mu Ziyuan was surprised because he knew the little woman was steady and reliable. If there was no reason, how could she openly say such things and give others something to talk about?

Releasing Lin Wan, Chu Yingge took a step back, her eyes as indifferent as ever.

"Your Majesty had better keep my words in mind today, otherwise... the consequences may be too much for Your Majesty to bear."

"Chu Yingge, do you know..."

"I don't know, and I don't want to know," Chu Yingge interrupted Lin Wan impatiently.

This Chu Yingge was completely different from what she had expected. Lin Wan was able to sit in her current position because her mind was naturally quite sharp.

She knew how unfavorable this situation was for her at that moment.

If they went head-to-head, she might lose badly. After all, she didn't think Chu Yingge could say such things so recklessly. If someone wasn't backing her up, how could Chu Yingge dare to do that?

She had been keeping quiet before, but now she was being so aggressive. She knew without even thinking what had happened behind the scenes.

So the best course of action now is to swallow her anger for the time being. She's not one to get bogged down in trivialities; the ability to bend and stretch is what makes a person achieve great things.

Rubbing her aching wrist, Lin Wan quickly concealed her true emotions, a cryptic smile appearing on her face.

Chu Yingge is no ordinary opponent, so she won't use ordinary methods either.

"Seventh Princess Consort is right, I have remembered it all today." Not only did Chu Yingge say it, but she also remembered everything Chu Yingge had done to humiliate her today.

Seeing Lin Wan compromise, Chu Yingge didn't press the issue further. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, and besides, Lin Wan wasn't a rabbit. If pushed too hard, she might do something desperate.

Even if they aren't completely destroyed, they will be severely weakened. In that case, the only one who will truly benefit is Mu Jingyu.

She hated Lin Wan, but she wouldn't do something like the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits.

He walked over, took Mu Ziyuan's hand, and was about to leave Lianxi Palace. Just as he reached the door, he seemed to remember something, turned around, and stared at Lin Wan.

"I hope the Empress Dowager has truly remembered what Yinge said. Yinge doesn't want to come to Lianxi Palace a second time." The threat was all too obvious.

Lin Wan clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms and drawing blood, but she felt no pain at all.

He responded almost through gritted teeth.

"Of course I remember."

"That's good." Chu Yingge raised an arrogant smile and pulled Mu Ziyuan away from Lianxi Palace.

Watching Chu Yingge's figure slowly disappear, Lin Wan frantically swept her hand to the side, and the priceless porcelain instantly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Lin Wan, the only bloodline of the Lin family, how could she have suffered such humiliation?

She looked up at Yun Nuo beside her and smashed the vase in her hand at her.

Yunnuo didn't dodge, letting the vase smash on her head and spill out scarlet liquid, but she remained unmoved.

Seeing that Yun Nuo did not react, Lin Wan's anger burned even more fiercely.

"Tell me, did you let Chu Yingge go? Otherwise, how could she still be alive, and alive and well!"

"Yunnuo admits her mistake." Without offering any explanation, she directly admitted it.

It wasn't that she didn't want to talk about it; it's just that she had followed Lin Wan for a long time and naturally knew Lin Wan's temperament. Once she made up her mind about something, no matter how much others explained, she wouldn't listen to a word.

Instead of wasting words, it's better to just agree, since the result will be the same anyway.

In the past, Lin Wan might have turned a blind eye to Yun Nuo's reaction, but now, she felt that even Yun Nuo was humiliating her.

"Even you dare to bully me? I'd like to see how tough you are. You can't handle Chu Yingge, but do you think I can't handle you?"

"Yunnuo accepts the punishment." Although she said this, her body still trembled slightly.

Her life was in Lin Wan's hands. As long as Lin Wan didn't give her the antidote, she would suffer a fate worse than death.

Lin Wan sneered, knowing she would get her revenge for the humiliation she suffered today.

However, she decided to clean house first.

……

After leaving Lianxi Palace, Mu Ziyuan's gaze remained fixed on Chu Yingge, never wavering for a moment.

Chu Yingge could have ignored it, but Mu Ziyuan's gaze was just too intense, making it absolutely impossible to ignore.

Why are you staring at me like that?

"It's nothing, I just feel that you are very different today."

"What's different?" Chu Yingge pressed.

Mu Ziyuan stopped and looked at Chu Yingge's aloof appearance, unable to help but curl his lips into a smile.

“You’ve always been calm and collected. I thought you just wanted to warn Lin Wan, but you actually threatened her just now. That’s not like you at all.”
