First annul the engagement, then sever ties with the empress; the empress reigns supreme.

Xuan Ying's eyes flickered slightly: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

Mu Lingye stared blankly ahead: "It's nothing. I have important matters to attend to. You are not allowed to follow me."

After Mu Lingye finished speaking, he turned around immediately.

Gu Junxi's storyline is opposite to Xuan Yingshi's.

Xuan Ying nodded slightly, then turned and silently followed behind Mu Lingye.

Xuan Ying watched as Mu Lingye entered a pharmacy and came out shortly after.

Xuan Ying entered the pharmacy after Mu Lingye left.

He took out the Crown Prince's token and asked the pharmacy owner directly, "Shopkeeper, what medicine did that man who just left buy from you? Do not hide anything, report the truth."

When the pharmacy owner saw that Xuan Ying was from the Crown Prince's residence, he dared not hide it and immediately confessed.

Prince's Mansion.

After returning to the manor, Gu Junxi waited for Xuan Ying and Mu Lingye to arrive.

Mu Lingye returned to the manor first, but Xuan Ying came to find her first.

"How is it?" Gu Junxi asked.

She had Xuan Ying follow Mu Lingye because Mu Lingye knew nothing while under control and would forget everything afterwards.

Xuan Ying was able to detect Mu Lingye's unusual behavior in advance and return to inform him ahead of time.

Xuan Ying frowned: "After His Highness left the manor, he went to a pharmacy and bought some..."

Gu Junxi's face darkened after hearing this.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Mu Lingye personally brought in a bowl of chicken soup. Mu Lingye appeared normal on the rest of the body, but his eyes still showed signs of stiffness.

Mu Lingye placed the chicken soup on the table and said to Gu Junxi.

"Axi, are you still angry with me? If you won't let me marry Long Yao, then I won't. Don't be angry with me. You have to understand that I had no choice but to agree to marry Long Yao back then. I made you some chicken soup myself, have some. It's good for the baby."

Gu Junxi stared coldly at Mu Lingye, then exhaled and her brows relaxed slightly: "Are you really not going to marry Long Yao?"

"Ah."

"Okay, then I'll have some." Gu Junxi agreed.

Mu Lingye smiled, but the smile looked unnatural. He picked up the chicken soup and came to Gu Junxi: "I'll feed you."

Gu Junxi opened her mouth and took a sip of chicken soup.

jingle.

The porcelain bowl fell to the ground.

Xi'er's anxious voice rang out: "Your Highness, what's wrong? Quickly, summon the imperial physician! Your Highness is bleeding!"

Upon hearing the noise, the entire Crown Prince's residence came to a commotion, with people coming and going in a chaotic frenzy.

The imperial physician was dragged into the mansion by Xuan Ying.

Not long after, the imperial physician left the residence, and the events that had occurred inside the Crown Prince's residence were leaked out.

The Crown Princess suffered a miscarriage; it was the Crown Prince who administered the medicine to her and personally removed the child.

This matter snowballed, growing bigger and bigger, and soon spread throughout the entire capital.

Everyone's saying that Mu Lingye is fighting with Gu Junxi, and Gu Junxi won't allow Mu Lingye to marry Long Yao. In order to gain the upper hand over Gu Junxi, Mu Lingye is willing to harm his own child.

She personally went to the pharmacy to buy abortion pills and put them into the chicken soup she gave Gu Junxi.

On the very first day after the incident, Emperor Sheng summoned Mu Lingye to the palace and gave him a thorough dressing-down.

Then, in a fit of rage, he demoted Mu Lingye to a remote area to manage flood control.

"Mu Lingye, even tigers don't eat their cubs. The Crown Princess is carrying your own child. How could you poison her? How can someone like you be worthy of being a husband, father, or ruler? The south is currently experiencing flooding. You will leave the city tomorrow. During this time of flood control, reflect on your actions."

After leaving the palace, Mu Lingye went directly from the Crown Prince's residence to the city gate.

After losing her child, Gu Junxi was traumatized and ran out of the Crown Prince's residence in a daze, disappearing without a trace.

In just a few days, the Crown Prince's residence underwent a dramatic transformation.

Meanwhile, Mu Lingye, who should have been heading south, wasn't on his way. Instead, he was lying in ambush on the road he would inevitably take after leaving the capital. The first person to meet him was Gu Junxi, who should have disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Mu Lingye had changed his clothes and was wearing the simplest coarse blue robe, as was Gu Junxi.

Mu Lingye reached out and hugged Gu Junxi tightly, looking at Gu Junxi's flat stomach with heartache, his voice hoarse enough to burn: "Are you alright? I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for? It wasn't your intention to drug me." Gu Junxi shook her head.

Sunlight shone, a gentle breeze blew, and a single tear rolled down Mu Lingye's cheek.

He truly felt sorry for Gu Junxi.

Although they realized they had been bewitched, they gained the upper hand.

Xuan Ying discovered that he had bought abortion pills at the pharmacy, and guessed that Mu Lingxuan and Leng Xuanjue wanted to use him to abort his and A Xi's child, so that they would break up completely.

To make matters worse, Ah Xi pretended to drink the chicken soup and played along with him in the charade, deceiving Mu Lingxuan and Leng Xuanjue. Although he suffered no loss, he still felt guilty. If it weren't for him, Ah Xi wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

As the heir of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, Axi could easily live a comfortable life with servants waiting on her.

A tear rolled down Mu Lingye's cheek, landing precisely on Gu Junxi's heart, nearly scalding her lungs.

She tiptoed and gently kissed Mu Lingye's eyelashes: "Don't forget we're husband and wife."

"Yes, we are husband and wife. Wait for me to come back in the capital." Mu Lingye forced a smile. With the Gu poison still lingering in his body, it would be too passive for both of them to remain in the capital.

If Mu Lingxuan and the others want to get him out of the capital, then let's go with the flow and completely escape Leng Xuanjue's sight.

Now that they're far apart, it won't be so easy for Leng Xuanjue to control him.

According to what Gu Junxi had learned during this period of study, what they were involved in was the Ying Gu, a type of Gu technique.

Those afflicted by the curse must be controlled by the one who cast it.

However, this Gu poison also has a drawback: if the caster wants to control the person affected by the Gu poison, they must not be more than ten meters away from the person affected.

However, at the same time, the person who casts the spell can sense the location of the person who has been poisoned.

This is also why Mu Lingye was able to leave the capital, while Gu Junxi had to remain in the capital.

Mu Lingye's eyes darkened.

The whereabouts of Master Suxin are unknown, so he sent a letter to Yao Duzhong. Now Yao Duzhong is on his way to the capital, and he can use going south as a cover to meet Yao Duzhong along the way.

Gu Junxi believed that Mu Lingye was going to welcome Mr. Suxin, so she was very confident that the Gu poison on Mu Lingye could be cured.

After all, Qingyanzi's Gu techniques were learned from Master Suxin.

"Go find your master without worry. I've already figured out how to deal with Mu Lingxuan. I'll make sure to protect myself and the baby in my belly until you come back."

Judging that it was about time, and worried that Mu Lingxuan would find out she was leaving the capital, Gu Junxi reluctantly got out of Mu Lingye's arms.

"Okay." Mu Lingye gently patted Gu Junxi's hair. He pursed his lips and said reluctantly, "Axi, you must remember, I don't want you to insist on anything for me. I just want you to be well."
