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

On a bustling street in Kyoto, a carriage sped along. When it reached the gate of the Seventh Prince's mansion, a person was thrown out of the carriage, covered in blood and his face unrecognizable.

Upon seeing this, the guard at the gate hurriedly went to inform Chu Yingge.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! A carriage just sped by and threw a blood-covered person out of it at the gate of the palace."

"Have you seen who it is?" Chu Yingge asked casually, tucking her hair behind her ear.

The guard nodded obsequiously, "Judging from her figure, she seems to be Miss Guozi."

"what!"

Chu Yingge's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly got up from her seat and walked towards the door, with the guard who came to report quickly following behind her.

Arriving at the main gate, Chu Yingge looked at the woman on the ground, gently turned her body, and sure enough, it was Guozi.

"Someone, go and fetch Doctor Lin right away."

"Yes." The men under his command did not dare to slack off and quickly went to find a doctor.

Chu Yingge bent down, picked up the fruit from the ground, and walked quickly toward Youzhu Garden.

The fruit itself was relatively light, and Chu Yingge was a martial arts practitioner, so carrying the fruit was naturally effortless. In no time at all, they arrived at Youzhu Garden.

Carefully placing the person in her arms on the bed, Chu Yingge reached out and brushed away the messy hair on Guozi's face, her eyes filled with heartache.

Perhaps sensing someone's touch, Guozi struggled to open her eyes and saw Chu Yingge standing by the bedside. Suddenly, she grinned and raised her hand with great effort.

"Miss, look, the antidote." The fruit in the fruit's hand was the antidote for the poison in Chu Yinnan's body.

Chu Yingge took the porcelain bottle from Guozi's hand, tucked the blanket around Guozi, and her expression flickered between light and shadow.

"You should get some sleep first, and we'll talk when you wake up."

"Okay," Guozi replied, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Seeing the bloodstains on the fruit, Chu Yingge frowned even more deeply, but a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"Your Highness, how is the fruit?" Upon hearing the news, Mu Zi rushed in without a second thought.

Chu Yingge stood up from the bedside and put the small porcelain bottle in her hand into her bosom.

"The situation doesn't look very good. We'll have to wait until the doctor examines the patient to find out the specifics."

"How could this happen? She was perfectly fine before." Mu Zi looked distressed. Compared to Guo Zi lying lifeless in bed, he still preferred the little girl who acted in front of him.

Even being angry is better than lying in bed without any reaction.

"Your Highness, may I take care of Guozi?" Mu Zi asked, looking up.

Chu Yingge nodded: "That's fine, I have to leave soon, but remember, you must take care of Guozi every step of the way, understand?"

Chu Yingge deliberately emphasized the words "never leaving", and Mu Zi, being no fool, naturally understood the meaning behind them.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will stay by Guozi's side every step of the way."

"That's good."

Chu Yingge took a cloak from the bedside, casually put it on, and walked outside. Just as she reached the door, she saw Mu Ziyuan coming out of the study.

Ignoring it completely, Chu Yingge walked straight outside, only to find a large shadow blocking her way.

"Move aside, I have something to do."

"I know, I'll take you there."

Mu Ziyuan sighed almost imperceptibly, took Chu Yingge's hand, and walked outside.

Without struggling or reacting, she was led along by Mu Ziyuan in a daze, all the way to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, where they boarded the carriage.

Outside, the noise continued as usual, but inside the car, all was quiet.

Mu Ziyuan sat in his seat, his eyes swirling with unspoken emotions, and his gaze toward Chu Yingge held a hint of helplessness.

His little princess is wonderful in every way, except for her lack of romantic understanding, which is a real headache for him.

"You're angry." It was a question, but it was phrased as an affirmation.

Chu Yingge didn't try to hide anything and directly admitted, "Shouldn't I be angry?"

"Why are you angry?"

"I had no idea you disliked me so much. We just got married, and you've already moved into the study," Chu Yingge said expressionlessly.

Mu Ziyuan pulled Chu Yingge's small hand into his own large palm and held it tightly.

"I didn't sleep in a separate room from you because I disliked you."

"Why is that?"

"It's because it's too hot, so I'm feeling restless." As he spoke, Mu Ziyuan swallowed hard, his eyes burning with desire.

Even though Chu Yingge was slow to warm up, she understood that Mu Ziyuan was doing this for her sake.

She lowered her head, a suspicious blush creeping onto her face.

"Actually, you don't necessarily have to restrain yourself. We're already husband and wife. Isn't this step just a matter of time?"

"You're right, but I want to wait until I have the whole country before I can share a romantic encounter with you, because only then will I truly be qualified to have you completely."

Mu Ziyuan's words were all sincere. His little princess was the most beautiful woman in the world and deserved to enjoy all the glory and wealth.

He's determined to rule this country.

He's determined to have his queen.

Mu Ziyuan's words were like a ray of warm sunshine shining into Chu Yingge's dark heart, slowly melting away the wounds that had been pierced.

Leaning against Mu Ziyuan's chest, Chu Yingge couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

“I have remembered everything you said today. If you dare to betray me, I will make sure the whole world is in turmoil.”

"I believe you have the ability," Mu Ziyuan said, giving Chu Yingge a light peck on her rosy cheek.

Although we can't touch, a kiss is still okay.

“Oh, right,” Mu Ziyuan suddenly remembered something: “The Empress Dowager’s birthday is in three days, and the Seventh Prince’s residence is also among those invited.”

"and then?"

"I'm afraid they'll make a move."

Chu Yingge paused, her hand that had been playing with Mu Ziyuan's sash, and a serious expression appeared on her face.

In their last confrontation, she and Lin Wan had essentially broken off all ties, so it would be easy for Lin Wan to set a trap for her in public, taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's birthday.

Moreover, Lin Wan is such a cunning woman that she is truly impossible to guard against.

However, she wasn't afraid. Lin Wan wasn't the only woman in the world who knew how to use tricks.

"What's there to be afraid of? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. I don't believe they can kill me so easily. Besides, I still have you, don't I?"

“You really are quite confident in yourself, but…” Mu Ziyuan paused, “This is the woman of Mu Ziyuan, so domineering and powerful.”

"Thank you for the compliment, my husband." Chu Yingge snuggled closer to Mu Ziyuan's embrace, her smile bright.

Mu Ziyuan didn't say anything, but his eyes were cold, as if they were covered with a layer of ice.

In the past few days, when he had nothing to do in his study, he still managed to find some useful information.

Kyoto is more complicated than he imagined.

Whether it's the imperial court or the martial arts world, the waters here run deep, and once you get involved, it's hard to get out.

He hadn't decided whether or not to drag the person in his arms into the water.

Although he knew that his little woman could handle these things, he was afraid that all of this would make her suffer.
