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

“Even if you are the Seventh Prince’s consort, you can’t just take people’s lives at will. If you do that, what kind of law is there?” Zhang retorted defiantly.

"The law, huh?" Chu Yingge scoffed.

In her territory, she is the law.

"Today I'll show you what the law is!" With that, he lashed out with the long whip at Zhang's leg.

"Ah!" Zhang cried out in pain, her legs went weak, and she knelt down in front of Chu Yingge.

Upon seeing this, everyone took several steps back, instantly clearing a lot of space around Zhang Shi and Chu Yingge.

Despite the pain in her leg, Zhang glared at Chu Yingge with hatred, almost gritting her teeth as she said, "Chu Yingge, how dare you? Even if you are the Seventh Prince's Consort, you cannot disregard the law. I will definitely report this matter to the Emperor. Not only you, but the entire Seventh Prince's mansion will be implicated!"

"You've reminded me." Chu Yingge sneered, her smile almost bloodthirsty.

She is now the Seventh Prince's Consort, and her every word and action represents Mu Ziyuan. If it were just her alone, it wouldn't matter, but she fears that someone with ulterior motives might use her to suppress Mu Ziyuan.

Standing in the center of the courtyard, Chu Yingge stood with her hands behind her back, her appearance aloof and resolute, as if she were detached from the world.

After a long pause, she spoke: "You should be grateful that I am now the Seventh Princess Consort. If I were just Chu Yingge, I would have already ground you to dust!"

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't dare do anything to me!" With Chu Yingge's words, Zhang felt reassured.

Chu Yingge frowned slightly, and suddenly tightened her grip on the long whip.

Do you really think I wouldn't dare do anything to you?

"of course."

"Looks like... I really gave you too much credit!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yin lashed out with the long whip in her hand, striking Zhang's back.

This was done with all its might, and Zhang couldn't withstand it. Her vision went black, and she fainted.

When Zhang's men saw this situation, they wanted to rush forward to save their master, but when they saw Chu Yingge's murderous aura, they refused to take a single step forward.

Retracting the long whip from her hand, Chu Yingge turned her head and coldly glanced at the crowd around her, her eyes filled with ruthlessness.

“You all saw it, I even dared to hit her, let alone people like you who have no value in life. So, I’ll ask one last time, tell me, who is it?”

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Clearly, this situation thoroughly enraged Chu Yingge. She lashed out with her long whip at the crowd, and the people standing in the front row were so frightened by Chu Yingge's outburst that they all collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen.

They had been in the Prime Minister's residence for a long time, but they had never seen the Ninth Miss so ruthless.

One of the maids was probably really frightened and hurriedly stepped out from the crowd.

"Miss Jiu, I'll talk... I'll talk..."

"explain."

"It's Green Bamboo. Recently, Green Bamboo has been personally in charge of the Second Young Master's meals."

"As expected." Chu Yingge snorted coldly, put away her whip, wrapped it around her waist again, walked over, and reached out to help the little maid who had just spoken up.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xin'er," the maid named Xin'er said timidly.

Chu Yingge nodded, glanced at the people around her, and then turned her gaze to Xin'er.

"The Prime Minister's residence can no longer accommodate you. From now on, you will come with me."

Chu Yingge was absolutely right. The reason these people were unwilling to speak was because they didn't want to lose their secure jobs in the Prime Minister's residence.

Although she is capable, she is not the head of the Prime Minister's mansion. Offending her might only result in a beating, but offending Madam Zhang could mean losing your life.

Upon hearing Chu Yingge's words, Xin'er stood there dumbfounded, as if she couldn't believe her ears, forgetting to react.

Chu Yingge frowned, turned around and took two steps. Seeing that Xin'er had not yet followed, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

"Aren't you coming with me? Or are you waiting for me to come and get you?"

"Oh, Xin'er understands." Xin'er, belatedly realizing what was happening, quickly reacted and followed closely behind Chu Yingge, barely daring to breathe.

She had just witnessed the methods of the person in front of her, how could she dare to act recklessly?

No sooner had Chu Yingge left than the Prime Minister's residence was thrown into chaos.

The crowd helped Zhang Shi into the room. Some went to fetch a doctor, while others went to inform Chu Tian. In short, it was a chaotic scene.

Chu Yingge brought Xin'er to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, asked the steward to take Xin'er away first, and then walked towards Youzhu Garden.

Visiting the bamboo garden,

Guozi sat on the stone table, looking at the tightly closed door, utterly puzzled.

"Do you think the prince is angry?"

"Can't you see it so obviously?" Mu Zi said irritably.

Guozi pouted: "But I think there's no need for His Highness to be angry at all. The Second Young Master is my young lady's own brother. Isn't it reasonable for my young lady to be anxious?"

"Who says it isn't?"

Mu Zi was also very puzzled about this. Her prince didn't seem like such a petty person, so why was he so upset about the princess's affairs?

"What are you two doing here?" A cool voice entered her ears. Guozi turned around and saw Chu Yingge walking in. She hurriedly went to greet her.

"Miss, you're finally back. Do you know what? The Prince is angry, so you must remember to be gentle and not go against him."

"why are you mad?"

"It's all because of you..." Guozi was about to blurt it out when she suddenly realized she had said too much and quickly stopped herself.

Looking at Guozi's hesitant expression, and then at Muzi beside her, who clearly had the same meme-worthy expression as Guozi, and then at the tightly closed door, Chu Yingge could more or less guess what was going on.

She had previously abandoned Mu Ziyuan outside the palace gates; if Mu Ziyuan had abandoned her instead, she would probably have been angry too.

"Alright, that's all for you two. I haven't had dinner yet. Go tell the kitchen to make something nice and send it over."

"Yes." Guozi obediently agreed and left Youzhu Garden with Muzi.

Watching the two figures leave, Chu Yingge turned around, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

"Are you expecting me to force my way in if you don't open the door?"

Chu Yingge now possesses a formidable internal force, a force that even Mu Ziyuan might not be able to withstand.

Sure enough, the moment the words were spoken, the tightly closed door was opened.

Before Chu Yingge could react, Mu Ziyuan pulled her into his arms.

"You've gotten quite bold, daring to threaten me now?" The seductive voice carried a deadly pressure.

Chu Yingge smiled and put her arm around Mu Ziyuan's neck, her smile deepening.

"You know what? Right now, you're incredibly alluring."

“You are very tempting too.” Mu Ziyuan’s throat went dry, and his gaze toward Chu Yingge became burning.
