The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

Qiu Shuang waved her hand and pointed at her head, indicating that she did not know what was going on.

Xue Luoyun wanted to ask more questions, but at this moment, the chicken crowed several times, and dawn arrived. The ghost-masked man seemed to have slept for too long, his hands seemed to have gone numb as he stood up and swung his arms. Soon, it would be time for the sacrifice of the heavens, so he had to take care of this period of time. The ghost-masked man was worried that the steward would investigate, so he didn't dare to slack off. He stretched his body and walked over to the cage.

Seeing that Xue Ruyun and the others were still sleeping, the ghost-masked man let out a sigh of relief.

Xue Ruyun was lying with his back to the Ghost-Masked Man. Although his body was in pain, his head was abnormally clear.

What was the reason for the drug's failure? Also, did the medicine that only Autumn Frost took fail, or did everyone fail?

If all drugs fail, what is the cause? Could it be that there was one of them? Hidden inside? Or could it be that someone had tampered with it during the making of the pill? Or could it be because of some other reason?

If it was in the past when Mu Ying was around, he might be able to make fake medicine in the pharmacy. However, after Mu Ying and the others ran away, the Ghost-Masked Man definitely wouldn't believe him, much less use the medicine that they once made.

There must be some other reason, Xue Muyun thought as he racked his brains.

Early the next morning after the Emperor went to visit the Crown Prince, Mu Lingfeng received a message from Eunuch Wei.

"What?" After Mu Lingfeng saw the letter, he slammed the table, angrily tearing the paper into pieces. What was the emperor thinking? He was obviously already very indifferent towards Mu Zhuo, and two days ago he was praising him for his strength and meticulous work. He was a rare talent of an emperor. Why did he suddenly change his appearance overnight? He wanted to see Mu Zhuo in person and even gave him an encouragement.

The so-called 'Holy Will' is hard to predict. Since ancient times, this Emperor's thoughts are the most difficult to guess.

"It must be that the crown prince secretly used some sort of method. I think it's eighty percent chance that he put in a lot of effort and intentionally lured the emperor here to show him." The butler had seen a lot these past few years, and he was able to deduce the truth with a single look.

"Of course I know. He definitely isn't willing to surrender the crown prince position so easily. He must have been thinking of retaliating for a long time already. This time, I was careless and let him have a chance to show off. " Mu Lingfeng was extremely vexed. During this time, he had sent people to closely monitor Mu Zhuo's identity, but he didn't expect that he still made use of this loophole.

"Third Prince, now isn't the time to think about such things …." The butler hurriedly reminded Mu Lingfeng when he saw that Mu Lingfeng was very upset.

"You mean. "Yes, I was careless." Only after being reminded by the butler did Mu Lingfeng realize that this wasn't the time to be upset. He should take advantage of Mu Zhuo's lack of movement to quickly suppress him and step him under his feet. He absolutely could not allow him to rise again in the east mountains.

"Hurry up and send a message to Zheng Ziyi so that he can blow the news into the emperor's ears and speak ill of Mu Zhuo. Regardless of whether it's true or false, as long as it leaves a shadow in royal father's heart, it'll be fine." Mu Zhuo's eyes returned to their previous calculations as he calmly began to make the necessary arrangements.

"Next, I'll go look for Sir Wu. Previously, he accepted so much of our gold and silver. Now, it's time to do something." Mu Lingfeng said as he held the torn letter.

Sir Wu was the Minister of Rites of the Western Lion Country. He was one of the most trusted officials in the imperial court. Previously, in order to win him over, Mu Lingfeng had spent a lot of effort. It could be said that out of the gold mining in Clear Water County, half a year's worth of it had already entered his pocket.

This person was extremely greedy, and extremely good at disguising himself. In front of the Emperor, he was neither humble nor haughty. He looked worried and worried about the nation, but he didn't say anything out loud. This caused Mu Zheng to mistake him for a man with two sleeves and a clear breeze.

Mu Lingfeng and Minister Wu plotted against each other for a long time. They planned to deal another ruthless blow to Mu Zhuo the next morning. He was going to ruthlessly exterminate him before he had a chance to show any signs of life.
