Miss Mu's promise came from Queen Xuancang!

what does that mean?

If Yun Qingluo and his team can successfully complete their mission, then this promise will be their strongest support.

For example, if they need the support of the Xuancang Continent to gain a foothold in the Ten Continents, then using this promise would be a huge win!

Shadow explained the origin of Xuanfeng to Muzhi in detail, making sure she understood the details and limitations.

Then, he told her some surprising news—

"Actually, Miss Mu has two Xuanfengs by her side. They were assigned by His Highness to secretly protect you." Shadow's words flashed through Mu Zhi's mind like lightning, leaving her speechless with astonishment.

"What? He was already back then..." Mu Zhi's heart trembled. She had never known that there was such a person in her life.

A strange feeling of emotion welled up inside me, but I was also filled with surprise and confusion.

However, she quickly realized an important problem, and her face showed anxiety: "So, Xuanfeng already knows that I asked you to help me?" She asked, her eyes wide and her voice trembling slightly.

If that's really the case, then wouldn't Xuanming have known about her plans and intentions a long time ago?

Shadow quickly reassured her, "Miss Mu, don't worry. His Highness doesn't know that those two Xuanfeng were assigned to you by His Highness and are now your people. His Highness hasn't asked about them."

Hearing this, Mu Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the shadow left, Mu Zhi stood quietly alone in the room, lost in deep thought.

She began to recall every little thing she had with Xuan Ming... But there's no point in thinking about it too much; what's important is the future and the present.

Mu Zhi closed the window, sat on the bed, and carefully examined the bracelet.

"Miss? Why aren't you asleep yet? I just went to the front yard to find out what's going on. The master went to the palace again last night. It seems to be about the epidemic. His Highness summoned all the ministers overnight to discuss the disaster." Magpie chattered incessantly as soon as she entered the door, her face showing a hint of excitement.

"Oh?" Mu Zhi raised an eyebrow, seemingly unsurprised.

"It seems this epidemic is indeed quite serious." As she spoke, she casually slipped the bracelet onto her wrist with a natural and fluid motion.

Seeing her young mistress's calm reaction, Magpie couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss, aren't you worried about Master?"

Mu Zhi smiled slightly, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes, "As a court official, Father naturally has to step forward at times like this. I believe he will handle everything well."

After saying that, she gently patted the magpie's hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry too much.

"Did Father come to the palace by carriage or on horseback?"

Magpie thought for a moment and said, "I just heard the master tell the steward to prepare a carriage, so he must be going to the palace by carriage."

"Well, that's good." Mu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. If she had been riding a horse into the palace, the situation would have been extremely critical.

The fact that they are entering the palace by carriage indicates that while the matter is important, it is not yet too urgent.

Mu Zhiruo nodded thoughtfully, thinking to herself, "It seems that my father probably won't be coming back tonight."

She sighed, stood up, walked to the dressing table, sat down, and beckoned Magpie to come and help her remove the hairpins and ornaments from her head.

"Magpie, please help me untangle my hair," Mu Zhi said softly.

Magpie responded and stepped forward, carefully untying Mu Zhi's hair and gently combing her long, black, and shiny hair.

Mu Zhi closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the tranquility and comfort of the moment.

After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you hear about the summoning of the Imperial Medical Academy?"

"Well, this servant hasn't been able to find out anything, I haven't heard any mention of the Imperial Hospital." Magpie tilted her head slightly, frowned as she recalled, and answered with a troubled expression.

Mu Zhi waved her hand, "Never mind, go to the kitchen and cook me a bowl of ginseng soup. I feel a bit cold, warm myself up before you go to sleep."

Magpie, unsuspecting, heard her young mistress say she was a little cold, so she immediately went to find a thick cloak, draped it over Mu Zhi, and then left, closing the door tightly behind her.

Mu Zhi stood up, walked to the door, and listened intently until she could no longer hear the footsteps outside before sitting back down at her dressing table.

She took out the bracelet, placed it under the candlelight, and examined it carefully before finding a very small bump on the inside. She pressed it down hard, and a tiny, tiny groove appeared.

Mu Zhi glanced at her fingertip, put it to her lips, bit it, and dripped a few drops of blood into the groove. The blood was absorbed.

Mu Zhi's eyes widened as she saw that the bracelet had become visibly smoother and rounder, and she even felt that it had shrunk and fit her wrist better.

As the bracelet changed, Mu Zhi was startled to see two people suddenly appear in the room.

"Xuanfeng Twelve greets Master."

"Xuanfeng, 21, greets Master."

With two crisp sounds, two women dressed in black appeared in front of Mu Zhi and knelt down to pay their respects.

They looked to be only in their thirties, yet they were already peerless royal bodyguards, which Mu Zhi found hard to believe.

A close look at their clothes reveals that the cuffs are embroidered with black and red silk thread, a detail that is easily overlooked unless under light.

Mu Zhi asked in surprise, "Are you the Xuan Feng that Xuan Ming sent to my side?"

The two answered in unison, "Yes."

Mu Zhi asked curiously, "Then why didn't it appear before?"

Xuanfeng Twenty-One explained, "Before, although the bracelet was in Master's hands, Master had not yet recognized it as her master, so we could not sense it. When Xuanfeng was without a master, we temporarily recognized it as her..." She suddenly stopped, as if she had something difficult to say.

Mu Zhi frowned and pressed, "To whom should we temporarily acknowledge him as our master?"

Xuanfeng Twenty-One lowered his head and remained silent, while Xuanfeng Twenty-Two said softly, "For now, we will acknowledge the master of Xuan Palace as our master."

Mu Zhi was startled, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

She felt that the Xuan Palace was probably a force on Xuan Ming's side.

but......

"Sensation?" What does that mean?

This was somewhat beyond her comprehension.

Xuanfeng Twelve patiently explained, "Yes, Master, the Dark Palace of the Xuancang Dynasty has a secret technique. As long as the master signs a blood oath with the master, he can sense the aura of the Xuan Guard. So no matter how high the Xuan Guard's martial arts are, or where they hide, the master can sense them. This is also to prevent the Xuan Guard from betraying him."

“Master, there is a code inside the bracelet in your hand. This bracelet contains the heart blood of every Feng Xuan, as well as the heart blood of all generations. It can play a crucial role at critical moments, but I do not know what its specific role is. Only when you reach that level will you know.”

She knew that from now on, she had taken on a greater responsibility.

She wanted to prove with her actions that she deserved the bracelet, deserved the title of queen, and was qualified to stand by his side.
