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

"She deserves it," Chu Yingge said irritably.

Mu Ziyuan smiled, somewhat dismissively: "It's alright, as long as you're happy."

“This isn’t about whether I’m happy or not; it’s about her crossing my line. You’re my man, and she dares to threaten you. How can I tolerate her!”

"Is it because of this?" Mu Ziyuan asked, somewhat surprised.

He thought Chu Yingge was still holding a grudge about what happened before, which was why she was so ruthless towards Lin Wan. He never expected that Chu Yingge was doing it for him.

He knew his little woman truly cared for him, but he never expected her to be so protective of him.

Chu Yingge nodded and said, "Of course. From the day I decided to marry you, I've already said that you are my bottom line. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, I will make sure they suffer!"

"You are also my bottom line." Mu Ziyuan ruffled Chu Yingge's hair without saying anything more.

He had long cherished the person in front of him, and in the future, if anyone dared to touch the person he cherished, he would certainly not be polite.

Chu Yingge smiled and said nothing more, then pulled Mu Ziyuan out of the palace gate.

This scene had already been spotted by a pair of eyes not far away, and they quickly moved towards the Imperial Study.

……

As soon as Chu Yingge and Mu Ziyuan stepped out of the palace gate, they saw Guozi rushing towards them.

"Miss, something terrible has happened!"

"What's the matter that's causing such a commotion?" Chu Yingge frowned, her face showing displeasure.

She knew very well that although Guozi was usually boisterous, she wasn't someone who didn't know what was important. Her urgency meant that something important must have happened.

Guozi took a breath, her face filled with anxiety: "Miss, news just came from the Prime Minister's residence, saying, saying..."

"say what?"

"The second young master is critically ill from poisoning and has fallen into a coma."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yingge no longer cared about the veracity of the news. She released Mu Ziyuan's hand, strode to the carriage, and drove away.

Looking at his empty hand and then at Chu Yingge's departing figure, Mu Ziyuan's expression shifted, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

Mu Zi stood aside, feeling a little uneasy. He had just seen his prince's expression clearly. Could it be that his prince was even jealous of Young Master Chu?

If that's the case, then his prince is truly head over heels in love with his princess.

"Your Highness, how do we get back?" Mu Zi asked softly.

Mu Ziyuan lowered his eyes, composed himself, and slowly said, "In this situation, we can only go back. Do you have any other ideas?"

"Should we go back to the Prince's Mansion or to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Mu Zi asked tentatively.

Mu Ziyuan remained silent, stood there pondering for a moment, and then walked towards the Prime Minister's residence. After taking only two steps, he stopped again.

"Forget it, let's go back to the mansion."

"it is good."

Although Mu Zi was puzzled, she obediently followed orders. She really didn't know what was wrong with her prince; he seemed like a completely different person.

I used to be decisive and ruthless in my actions, never hesitating at all, but now I'm so conflicted that it's hard for people to understand.

Chu Yingge drove back to the Prime Minister's residence, no longer caring about going anywhere else. Upon learning that Chu Yinnan was in the backyard, she hurriedly headed towards it.

Arriving in the backyard, Chu Yingge looked at Chu Yinnan, who was lying quietly on the bed with a pale face, and felt a tightness in her chest.

When the doctor next to her saw Chu Yingge enter, he quickly stood up from the side.

"This humble servant greets the Seventh Princess Consort."

"How is the second young master?"

"The situation is not optimistic."

"What does that mean?" Chu Yingge's phoenix eyes widened in anger as she grabbed the doctor's collar, her fierce expression clearly visible.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's poisoning. The second young master's poison has spread to his lungs and internal organs. I really can't do anything about it."

Chu Yingge slowly released her hand, signaling everyone around her to leave. Only after everyone in the room had left did she come to the bedside.

Chu Yingge rolled up Chu Yinnan's sleeves and took his pulse, but it was no use.

The toxins spread throughout her lungs and internal organs, and even a celestial being couldn't save her. If this were the 21st century, she might have had all sorts of antidotes, but now, she has nothing.

Seeing Chu Yinnan's purplish lips, Chu Yingge frowned, and the murderous intent in her eyes gradually spread.

She wasn't stupid. The only person capable of poisoning Chu Yinnan when she was completely unprepared was someone from the Prime Minister's residence. And within the entire Prime Minister's residence, it was obvious who had been at odds with the brother and sister.

"If you die, I will never let the people who harmed you live well."

Chu Yingge spoke softly, as if she were speaking to Chu Yinnan, who was lying on the bed, or perhaps to herself.

She got up, covered Chu Yinnan with the blanket, turned around and left the room, her back view resolute and without hesitation.

Upon arriving at the front courtyard, Chu Yingge gathered everyone from the Prime Minister's residence together. Standing on the steps, she looked at the people below with a calm expression.

"Tell me, who has recently approached the Second Young Master?" The voice was cold and imposing.

The people below dared not speak, all bowing their heads and looking at the ground.

Chu Yingge raised an arrogant air, reached out and untied the long whip coiled at her waist, then waved it in front of everyone.

"You all better look closely, the guy in my hand is even more ruthless than me. If you don't give in, I really won't be polite!"

"Chu Yingge, aren't you being a bit too presumptuous!" Zhang, who rushed over upon hearing the commotion, was so angry at Chu Yingge's arrogance that her whole body ached.

Upon seeing Zhang, Chu Yingge showed no fear; instead, her laughter grew even more unrestrained.

"That's great, now we really have everyone together, otherwise I might have had to go through the trouble of asking you to come all the way here."

"What do you want?" Zhang was still somewhat frightened when she saw the long whip in Chu Yin's hand.

Back then, it was this very thing in Chu Yin's singing that made her lose face.

As he walked down the steps, the smile on his face grew colder and colder until it disappeared completely.

"I'm asking you, who has approached the second young master recently?"

"Are you talking to me?" Madam Zhang asked in surprise. Although Chu Yingge didn't call her "mother" before, she would at least address her as "Madam." Now, she was using such a questioning tone.

Do you remember who you are?

"I dare to speak to you like this precisely because I remember my own identity. Don't forget, I am no longer the Ninth Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I am the true Seventh Princess Consort, belonging to the imperial family."

Chu Yingge deliberately emphasized the last sentence.

As expected, upon hearing Chu Yingge's words, a look of panic flashed across Zhang's face. She was used to ordering Chu Yingge around and for a moment forgot that the person in front of her was already the Seventh Prince's Consort.

Chu Yingge noticed Zhang's panic perfectly.

"I'll give you half a quarter of an hour to think about whether you want to hand over this person or have me skinned alive."
