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

"It's nothing." Guozi shook her head, got up from her seat, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and brought it to Chu Yingge.

"Miss, why did you bring the letter back?" After hesitating for a long time, Guozi finally spoke up.

Chu Yingge accepted the tea offered by Guozi, her smile gradually fading until she was expressionless.

"What's wrong? Did she offend you?"

"That's not quite it." Guozi paused, "It's just that I feel she's not an ordinary maid; she's probably quite shrewd."

"So?" Chu Yingge asked rhetorically, turning the teacup in her hand from side to side.

Guozi lowered her head; indeed, she was the only one who thought there was something wrong with Xin'er.

"Miss, do you think I'm deliberately ostracizing Xin'er because I'm afraid of losing my place in your heart?"

"Not really."

"That……"

Do you think I'm just for show?

As Chu Yingge spoke, she got off the bed, put the teacup in her hand on the table, turned her head, and stared at the fruit with a smile.

But that malicious smile sent chills down Guozi's spine no matter how she looked at it.

"Miss, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that you've improved your skills and can now distinguish between good and bad."

"So, Miss, do you also think..." Guozi was about to speak when Chu Yingge stepped forward and covered her mouth.

Chu Yingge looked around, her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxing before she released her grip.

"Be careful what you say in the Seventh Prince's residence from now on."

"Why?"

"You've placed someone else's eyes around you; shouldn't you be more careful?"

Guozi nodded, and the distress on her face disappeared instantly. She knew that she was not the only one who had noticed that something was wrong with Xin'er.

It turns out that her young lady already knew.

"Miss, there's something I don't understand. Since you already know my identity, why did you bring me back?"

"Only in this way can we take control of the situation and make the decisions."

Chu Yingge pinched Guozi's chubby cheeks, and her expression relaxed considerably.

She couldn't compete with Mu Jingyu, especially now that there was Lin Wan and even the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Chu Moran is no longer a concern, but Chu Yanran is still alive and remains a threat. Coupled with Zhang Shi and Chu Tian, ​​she is truly willing but unable to help.

If others still hold the initiative at this point, then she'll really be out of the game.

Thinking of the Prime Minister's residence, Chu Yingge thought of Chu Yinnan, who was still lying in the hospital bed. Her medical skills were not very advanced; she could treat simple illnesses, but she did not have the ability to truly detoxify.

She hasn't found anyone who can save Chu Yinnan yet, but she can't just stand by and watch Chu Yinnan die like this.

Guozi could certainly sense Chu Yingge's sudden change in expression.

"Miss, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the poison in my brother's body, which is incurable."

"Oh, so that's why. I do know someone who's good at detoxification, but he's a bit eccentric. I'm not sure if he'll come to help." Guozi felt uneasy just thinking about that person.

Chu Yingge crossed her arms over her chest, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

Regardless, we have to give it a try. If it succeeds, then Chu Yinnan will be saved. If it fails, at least she really did her best.

"Who is that person? Can we contact them now?"

"Of course, leave this to me," Guozi said confidently.

Chu Yingge nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."

"kindness."

Hearing the conversation between the two people inside the room, Mu Ziyuan, who was outside the door, withdrew his hand from the door.

After hesitating for a moment, he still walked towards the study.

……

The palace was brightly lit.

Inside the imperial study, Mu Jingyu closed the last memorial and rubbed his aching temples.

He lowered his head, and Chu Yingge's face appeared in his mind again.

But it disappeared very quickly.

Standing up from his seat, Mu Jingyu looked at where he had been sitting, then at the scenery outside the hall, and suddenly felt that he was the only truly lonely person.

Yun Nuo carried a lantern and slowly walked in from outside the door, step by step, cautiously and carefully.

"Yunnuo greets Your Majesty."

"But is the Empress Dowager busy?" Mu Jingyu asked coldly.

Since the incident with Chu Yingge, his relationship with Lin Wan has become somewhat strained.

Often, it turns out that once the relationship is broken, there is no way to mend it.

Yun Nuo's expression shifted between light and shadow, her true thoughts unknown. She got up from the ground, the lantern in her hand swaying back and forth.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager has invited the Emperor over, saying she has important matters to discuss."

"Oh? Do you know what important matter it is?"

"Yunnuo doesn't know."

"Really don't know?" Mu Jingyu walked towards Yun Nuo.

He certainly knew that Yun Nuo was Lin Wan's confidante. Others might not know what Lin Wan was doing, but Yun Nuo couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

Do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor?

“Yun Nuo dares not deceive the Emperor. She truly does not know. After all, Yun Nuo is merely a servant. How could she presume to know the Empress Dowager’s thoughts?”

These words were comprehensive and watertight, and even Mu Jingyu could not find the slightest flaw.

"Since you really don't know, then go back and tell the Empress Dowager that I have other matters to attend to."

"Your Majesty should still go," Yun Nuo insisted.

Mu Jingyu looked Yun Nuo up and down. In the past, although Yun Nuo didn't always obey him, she was at least very obedient. What was wrong with her today? Why was she speaking to him in such a tone?

Are you speaking to me?

"Yes."

"In such a tone?" Mu Jingyu asked incredulously.

Yun Nuo slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with determination: "That's right, His Majesty must go on this trip."

"Why?" Mu Jingyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yun Nuo composed herself, gripped the lantern's wooden pole tightly, and after a long while, finally uttered a sentence.

"If His Majesty does not go today, the Empress Dowager intends to replace him."

"Change people? Change who?" Mu Jingyu narrowed his eyes, his dangerous gaze undisguised.

"His Majesty is so intelligent, he will surely be able to guess it."

"Is it?"

Yun Nuo was right. Mu Jingyu did understand what Yun Nuo meant. He never expected that Lin Wan would be so bold!

By saying that, aren't you basically telling him that if he doesn't obey, the throne will be taken by someone else?

"Have you and your servants become so bold?" Mu Jingyu's voice suddenly rose, sounding even clearer in the empty imperial study.
