"Has Your Highness found Chen'er?"
Upon returning to the Longxuan Prince's Mansion, "Blood Purple Rose" inquired with concern.
"He's in Zhou Fengyun's hands."
Li Mufeng handed a letter to "Xue Ziwei" without saying much.
"Zhou Fengyun?"
"Blood Purple Rose" raised a delicate eyebrow, unfolded the letter in her hand, glanced at it, and then angrily rebuked,
“This vicious woman is utterly depraved. Chen’er is her own nephew, yet she dares to use him to threaten the prince. She truly deserves to die.”
"Since you are threatening me, I suppose Chen'er is not in danger. Let's get some rest tonight and go to the Prince Lin's residence tomorrow to ask for him back."
As Li Mufeng spoke, he swayed, a sharp pain shooting through his wound, which appeared to have reopened.
"Let me change your dressing."
With an unyielding tone, "Blood Purple Rose" pressed Li Mufeng into a chair and began changing his dressing, asking questions as she did so.
"Has Your Highness ever heard of Princess Luoxi?"
"Um!"
Li Mufeng nodded. He had heard that she was the eldest princess of Qingyu Kingdom. The people of Qingyu Kingdom were devout Taoists and believed in the art of immortality.
The king, Luo Han, was even more obsessed with this Taoist art. In order to achieve immortality, he became sworn brothers with an old Taoist priest named Qiu Tianxiang.
Luo Han was focused on cultivating immortality, but he never expected that this old Taoist priest was ambitious and took advantage of Luo Han's seclusion to murder court officials and all members of the Luo family.
When Luo Han emerged from seclusion, he discovered that the situation was hopeless. In order to make up for his mistakes and to protect the Luo family's empire, Luo Han sealed the imperial seal, and gave the key to Princess Luo Xi.
For many years, Qiu Tianxiang had been trying to find Princess Luoxi, but he had not been able to find her and could only pretend to be the Imperial Preceptor.
Without the imperial seal, Qiu Tianxiang could not ascend the throne…
Li Mufeng talked a lot about the Qingyu Kingdom, and "Xue Ziwei" looked puzzled.
"Chu Yunmo claims to be a descendant of Princess Luoxi. How is that possible? Wasn't the original owner of this body Wang Shuqing's daughter?"
Could it be that the original owner's mother was someone else?
Why did you suddenly mention Princess Luoxi?
Seeing that "Blood Purple Rose" had already bandaged his wounds and straightened his clothes, Li Mufeng asked her a question.
"N-nothing, I just overheard someone mention it today and asked casually."
"Blood Purple Rose" stammered, because she hadn't figured out what was going on yet.
If she were truly not Wang Shuqing's daughter, she would never have mentioned such a shameful matter to anyone.
"Now that Your Highness is out of danger, I should be going."
Seeing that Li Mufeng was staring at her, "Blood Purple Rose" suddenly felt a little nervous and hurriedly made up an excuse.
"It's getting late. If you go back now, the Prime Minister's residence will probably be locked. Why don't you stay here for the night?"
Li Mufeng made a sincere invitation, but "Blood Purple Rose's" face flushed red instantly, and she stammered.
"I...we've already divorced, so it's not convenient for me to stay."
Upon hearing the mention of "divorce," Li Mufeng's heart skipped a beat, and he cleared his throat.
"I'd like to explain this matter. Actually, that day..."
"It doesn't matter. Whether we divorce sooner or later, we'll divorce eventually. Your Highness doesn't need to care so much."
"Blood Purple Rose" feigned nonchalance, but Li Mufeng's slender fingers clenched tightly.
"So you really want a divorce from me?"
"Your Highness, you don't mean you're interested in me, do you?"
The words "Blood Purple Rose" slipped out, and as soon as they left his mouth, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into, while at the same time a small sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.
"How could that be? You're causing me trouble at every turn. I'm trying to avoid you. My queen should be gentle and virtuous, not like you. You're like a monkey jumping around, without any virtue or gentleness."
Li Mufeng remained defiant, while "Blood Purple Rose" nodded.
"Your Highness is absolutely right; this is the best possible outcome."
"No, what I mean is..."
Li Mufeng tried to grab "Blood Purple Rose" as she turned around, but then he heard footsteps.
"Your Highness, Chu Yunmo has been taken to the Dali Temple, everyone else has been executed, and Mu Chun has escaped."
The visitor was Zhao Hu, who reported with a solemn expression.
