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

Chu Yingge's eyes darkened. Her intuition told her that Lin Wan's methods today were definitely not over and she couldn't just leave like that.

What kind of trick are they playing?

You have to understand, from the moment Lin Wan walked in, her eyes said it all. Now, leaving like this is really not Lin Wan's style!

Is it...

Chu Yingge shook her head, rejecting the idea in her mind.

With Yun Nuo's help, Lin Wan slowly walked down from her high position and paused for a moment when she reached Chu Yingge.

In an instant, a gust of wind swept through the entire hall, the lights went out, and the hall was plunged into darkness!

"what!"

A scream pierced Chu Yingge's eardrums. Before she could react, the hall was lit up again, and everyone's eyes turned to Chu Yingge.

Lin Wan, who was perfectly fine before, was now slumped in Yun Nuo's arms, with the gold hairpin that Chu Yinge had used to perform magic tricks stuck in her body. Chu Yinge's hand was still hanging in mid-air, not yet withdrawn.

Lin Wan's face showed a look of pain, but there was a hint of smugness in her eyes.

"Seventh Princess Consort, why...why did you try to harm me?"

"I...I didn't..." Chu Yingge was about to argue, but seeing the gazes of those around her, she immediately stopped talking.

The more she said at this point, the more mistakes she would make, since it was clear from any angle that she was the one who had targeted Lin Wan.

Mu Ziyuan, who was standing beside Chu Yingge, put his arm around her shoulder and looked at the injured Lin Wan with a look of seriousness in his eyes.

"Quickly summon the imperial physician. If anything happens to the Empress Dowager, I will hold you all accountable." Mu Jingyu reacted quickly enough, making a swift response in this situation.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but after realizing what was happening, they quickly got to work.

Chu Yingge stood still until everyone had left the main hall before slowly sitting down in her seat.

She had calculated everything, but she hadn't anticipated that Lin Wan would dare to gamble with herself.

In this game, she truly lost; there's no doubt about that.

Chu Yingge closed her eyes, her mind racing as she considered how to deal with all of this. The charge of plotting against the Empress Dowager was not something that could be easily dismissed.

Even if she didn't kill anyone, if Lin Wan insisted that she was the one who did it, she would be forcibly accused of plotting against the Empress Dowager.

Mu Ziyuan patted Chu Yingge on the shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay. Black is black, and white is white. You didn't do it, so no matter what they say, they have no evidence."

"You're wrong, this kind of thing doesn't need any evidence at all."

Chu Yingge sighed deeply, lamenting that her lifelong reputation had been ruined by Lin Wan. She blamed herself for not thinking things through and hadn't anticipated that Lin Wan had gone to such lengths this time.

"Promise me, no matter what the outcome, you won't get involved in this matter."

"How could that be?" Mu Ziyuan immediately retorted, "You are my queen. If I can't even protect you, then I am truly a failure."

"This isn't a matter of failure or not; this is clearly a series of schemes devised by Lin Wan. If you get involved, then you'll truly fall into Lin Wan's trap." Chu Yingge was surprisingly clear-headed at this moment, calmly analyzing the situation.

Mu Ziyuan stubbornly shook his head: "No matter what, I will definitely protect you."

"Do I need your protection?" Seeing Mu Ziyuan's lack of understanding, Chu Yingge became anxious: "I'm not worried about myself right now, but about you. Only when you put my mind at ease can I calm down and deal with Lin Wan."

"What do I have to worry about?"

"Of course you are!" Chu Yingge's voice was almost hoarse: "You are very calm, but you can't stay calm when it comes to my affairs. I don't want you to make any mistakes."

Mu Ziyuan remained silent, looking into Chu Yingge's eyes, his heart slowly detaching itself. Of course he was happy that his woman was thinking of him, but he truly couldn't bear to ignore her.

After a long pause, Mu Ziyuan finally gave in.

"I can promise not to get involved in this, but you have to promise me that you will protect yourself no matter what."

"Of course, I'm still waiting to see you rule the world." Chu Yingge smiled, finally able to relax.

This time, Lin Wan is risking her life for her. It doesn't matter. She can also risk her life to play a game with Lin Wan and see who is more powerful!

From Las Vegas to the rainforest, every mission felt like a journey through hell. Would someone who spends so much time in hell be afraid of such a small difficulty?

Outside Lianxi Palace, all the civil and military officials waited quietly.

Mu Jingyu stood at the front, his eyes closed, waiting for the result. He knew very well that Chu Yingge was definitely not behind this, because Chu Yingge was not that stupid. Even if she hated Lin Wan, she would not choose such a public situation.

The only possibility is that Lin Wan orchestrated this whole thing to frame Chu Yingge.

Lin Wan really went to great lengths, using her own body as leverage to frame Chu Yingge. Such methods are truly ingenious.

This time, no matter how clever Chu Yingge is, she cannot escape the crime of plotting against the Empress Dowager.

Chu Yanran stood beside Mu Jingyu, waiting for the outcome from Lianxi Palace. She had been thinking about how to embarrass Chu Yingge, but unexpectedly, Chu Yingge delivered herself to her doorstep.

To confront Lin Wan in public was incredibly foolish.

Now everyone has witnessed it firsthand. Even if Chu Yingge has extraordinary abilities, she's going to suffer this time.

They've ruined her life; they deserve some kind of punishment.

Inside Lianxi Palace, the imperial physician was taken outside by Yun Nuo. Inside the inner hall, Lin Wan looked at the wound on her chest, a chilling smile appearing on her lips.

This is nothing to her; as long as she can crush Chu Yingge under her feet, it will all be worth it.

Yunnuo walked in from outside, her expression neither happy nor sad, and she didn't seem to have anything to say.

That gold hairpin clearly showed from the beginning that Lin Wan had already come up with a plan, but she didn't tell her.

She had lost all use to Lin Wan; it was already a miracle that she was able to survive.

Perhaps understanding what Yun Nuo was thinking, Lin Wan sneered inwardly: "Are you wondering why I didn't tell you about this?"

"The Empress Dowager has her reasons for everything she does, and she can't possibly tell Yunnuo everything."

"If that's really what you think, then that's for the best."

Lin Wan's tone was somewhat impatient. She knew very well that Yun Nuo was not staying by her side out of loyalty, and would betray her sooner or later. Therefore, she naturally had to do many things herself.
