C477 Changes of Phoenix-Seep (1/2)

This order to expel the guests was truly willful. It looked like Qing Xun really hadn't placed her identity as the seventh prince's consort in his eyes at all. Perhaps, it could be said that she was already a dead person in his eyes?

Thus, there was no longer even the slightest of respect.

However, Mu Ru Yue didn't care about that. The one who had the last laugh would be the winner. Thinking this way, Mu Ru Yue stood up and said, ”I've benefited greatly from tonight's event. Many thanks City Lord.” With that, Mu Ru Yue left.

Qing Xun's expression was one of unspeakable disappointment.

After a while, Ling'er walked in and helped Qing Xun put away the chess pieces. ”City Lord, should we continue with our plan?”

”Naturally, we'll continue. Since she isn't the person I thought she was, isn't it natural for her to die?” Qing Xun's attitude was very casual, as if the person he wanted to kill was just a beggar by the side of the road, not the current Seventh Princess.

”Then, this servant will go prepare it.” As Ling'er spoke, he prepared to leave. As he left, Qing Xun grabbed his wrist. ”Ling'er …” ”Sorry for the trouble.”

The girl blushed and said obediently: ”It is Ling'er's fortune to be able to do something for you, Sir. Furthermore … It's just a small matter. It's more convenient to use my clan's method. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she hurriedly ran out of the pavilion.

When Mu Ru Yue returned to the fire in her courtyard, she couldn't help but yawning in guilt. Yun'er was a little surprised to see Mu Ru Yue return so quickly, but at the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief. ”Royal Consort, you haven't been made difficult by this City Lord, have you?”

Yun'er's words made Mu Ru Yue a little unsure of whether she should laugh or cry. ”Why would you make things difficult for me? I'm the Seventh Princess after all. ”

”However, this city lord's residence makes me feel that something is strange. No one has even put you in their eyes. Also, the guards in the city lord's residence are really too strange.” Yun'er said seriously.

Hearing Yun'er's words, Mu Ru Yue felt a sense of relief. This girl was not slow at all.

”Don't worry. The last person to laugh will definitely be me, your wangfei.” As Mu Ru Yue said that, she yawned and got ready to sleep on the bed. But in the next second, she felt a pain in her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

”Princess!”

Yun'er's expression changed. He quickly stepped forward to investigate, ”Princess, you're poisoned? This servant will call you for a doctor right away. No... This servant will go call the Crown Prince Palace to come down. The City Lord's Mansion's people have gone too far, they actually dared to openly poison you. ”

Yun'er was so angry that she was about to cry.

However, Mu Ru Yue shook her head. She covered her heart and sat up. ”Don't worry. It's not poison.” Mu Ru Yue took out a bell from her pocket as she spoke. She looked at the bell in her hand and shook it gently.

The next second, he felt his heart tremble as well.

This feeling made Mu Ru Yue take a deep breath. ”Something must have happened over at Phoenix Seep.”

”Huh?” What is this? The same thoughts as husband and wife?

Yun'er was stunned by Mu Ru Yue's words. However, Mu Ru Yue didn't explain and her gaze landed on her palm. A trace of confusion flashed past her eyes. He … What's wrong? If the Gu is still here, it means that Feng Chen is still alive.

But just now?

Mu Ru Yue didn't know about the Gu, so she felt a little frustrated. Once she returned to the capital and settled everything down, perhaps … She really ought to go down and see him. As Mu Ru Yue thought this, her heart felt a little better.

”Esteemed wangfei, should this servant call a doctor for you?” Seeing that Mu Ru Yue's expression was slightly better, Yun'er asked uncertainly.

Mu Ru Yue shook her head. ”There's no need. It's just a small matter.” As Mu Ru Yue spoke, she shook the bell once again and lay on the bed. Seeing her like this, Yun'er had no choice but to go out and protect her.

Everything in the City Lord's Mansion was too dangerous. He absolutely could not sleep too peacefully at night. In addition to what happened with Third Madam Hong, Yun'er felt a shadow in her heart. Thus, Yun'er had been guarding the entrance of Mu Ru Yue's house for the past two days.

The bright moon hung in the sky as the people in the room slowly fell asleep.

At this time, a thousand miles away in the southern part of the river.

Halfway up a mountain called Rainbow Mountain, a huge cave was dug out by someone. Inside the cave was a man in ragged clothes. His face was pale as he lay there. It could be said that he was neither male nor female. However, no one would dare to see him as a girl.

A trace of gentleness actually flashed across her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

”Prince, are you feeling any better?” someone asked respectfully outside. Among them, when the man heard this, he stood up slightly and touched his chest gently. His voice also became gentler than it had been before, ”This king is fine. Remember not to create unnecessary problems. This King does not wish to involve anyone too much. ”
