On the carriage, Xue Ziwei thought about how Prime Minister Han Bingmo had just been humiliated and found it amusing.
Unable to produce evidence that he had poisoned Mu Xue'er, Mu Xue'er was in excruciating pain.
Upon learning that he had saved Longxuan Wang, he began to beg him to save the man. Han Ruyi, for the sake of her mother, could only swallow her humiliation and admit that she had hit him first and that he had only himself to blame for teaching her a lesson.
"Blood Purple Rose" agreed to save the person on the condition that Mu Xue'er must relinquish her power as the matriarch of the family.
She and her daughter, Han Ruyi, kowtowed to themselves, Wu An, and their mother to admit their mistakes.
The proud and arrogant Mu Xue'er was unwilling, but the poison she had been given had already tormented her to the point of near death.
The poison she was afflicted with could only be cured by herself, and she could only kneel down.
He had intended to reclaim his mother's dowry, but seeing Longxuan Wang Li Mufeng's furrowed brows, he knew that Li Mufeng was getting impatient, so he had no choice but to give up for the time being.
She left behind a bottle of medicine, asking Caiyun and Hongxia to take good care of her mother, before Li Mufeng forcibly pulled her onto the carriage.
"Haha...Did Your Highness see Mu Xue'er eating shit? She was vomiting like a madman. It was so satisfying."
In order to take revenge on Mu Xue'er, "Blood Purple Rose" dripped blood onto a pile of excrement, calling it the antidote. Overly excited, "Blood Purple Rose" took the initiative to climb onto Li Mufeng's neck and patted his chest like a buddy, completely unaware of how ambiguous the atmosphere was between the two of them, a man and a woman alone.
"Cough cough cough..."
A clear cough escaped her lips, and "Blood Purple Rose's" eyes met a deep pool of water. Their eyes locked, so close they could almost touch, their warm breaths brushing against each other's faces. Just then, the carriage jolted violently.
"Ah...uh~~"
Red lips met sexy thin lips, and the two remained locked in a stalemate for a few seconds before pulling away like a spring. "Blood Purple Rose" had a fiery temper and was about to slap Li Mufeng.
"rogue!"
His thick, large hand gripped her slender wrist. "Blood Purple Rose" struggled several times but couldn't break free, demonstrating the depth of Li Mufeng's inner strength.
"Do you think I wanted to kiss you? That was just an unexpected situation. Besides, even if I did kiss you, so what? You are my concubine. Even if I slept with you, no one would say anything."
Seeing the disgusted look on "Blood Purple Rose's" face, Li Mufeng felt very uncomfortable and began to speak sarcastically.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the carriage jolted again, and the scene from before repeated itself.
With her exceptionally lustrous and sweet red lips, and the sweet yet not cloying fragrance wafting from "Blood Rose" to his nose, Li Mufeng's usually proud self-control suddenly felt like it was slipping out of control.
Having been taken advantage of twice, "Blood Purple Rose" was not about to let it go. She raised her hand again, only to hear a gasp from outside the car.
"Look, it's Chu Yunmo. She's so beautiful, even more beautiful than a woman."
"An immortal! An immortal has descended to earth!"
"Chu Yunmo, Chu Yunmo..."
...
The cacophony of noise, reminiscent of modern-day celebrity worship, reached "Blood Purple Rose's" ears. Forgetting all about settling scores with the man in front of her, "Blood Purple Rose" jumped out of the carriage.
"Chu Yunmo? The man who haunts the female lead's dreams."
"Your Highness, why are you out here?"
Wang Feng, who was driving the carriage, was startled and quickly reined in his horse.
A large crowd had gathered not far from the carriage, mostly women, and many other women were also gathered around, seemingly bewitched and drawn to the carriage.
It seems the carriage's bumpy ride was related to the surging crowd.
"Blood Purple Rose" surveyed her surroundings with her glassy eyes.
Where is Chu Yunmo?
Before she could finish speaking, the man behind her forcefully pulled her into the car.
"Wang Feng, return to the manor. Today is the day for me and my princess to go to the palace to express our gratitude to the emperor. If we are delayed, you will be held responsible."
Without further ado, Wang Feng flicked his whip and galloped off towards the Longxuan Prince's Mansion.
Inside the carriage, Li Mufeng, his face grim, grabbed "Blood Purple Rose" by the throat.
"I warn you, you are now my queen. If you dare to be unfaithful again, especially to that gigolo Chu Yunmo, if I find out about you and him... I will not spare you."
"Is Your Highness jealous?"
"Blood Purple Rose" grabbed Li Mufeng's hand, pulled it away from his neck, and used her slender fingers to lift his chin, her breath sweet as orchids.
"I'm heartless, Your Highness, you'd better not fall in love with me." Having learned her lesson in her previous life, "Blood Purple Rose" doesn't want to be fooled by men again in this life. In this second life, she just wants to lie down and relax.
"Forget about seduction and love. If anyone dares to mess with me, I'll make them pay a terrible price."
A flash of ferocity crossed his clear, watery eyes.
"If you won't let me love you, are you going to let that gigolo have you? I just don't understand, what else can that man do besides sweet talk?"
The words Li Mufeng blurted out surprised even himself; they sounded like he was jealous.
Perhaps it was because he was too outstanding, yet this woman discarded him like trash, and he felt somewhat resentful! Li Mufeng found an excuse for his abnormal behavior.
Indeed, the mighty Prince of War went to the battlefield at the age of ten, and at the age of thirteen led an army of fifty thousand to defeat the army of one hundred thousand of Qingyu Kingdom.
At the age of fifteen, he seized two cities from the Kingdom of Liuli in just three days, forcing them to sign a peace treaty. These heroic deeds were widely known in the Kingdom of Zixiao. If he hadn't been poisoned, countless women would have wanted to marry him. How could he have failed to catch the eye of this good-for-nothing Han Ziwei?
"No, she's not a fool. She knows medicine and is quite skilled in martial arts. In the Prime Minister's mansion, she outwitted and outmaneuvered Prime Minister Han Bingmo and Princess Huaiyin Mu Xue'er. She's not entirely brainless."
The more Li Mufeng thought about it, the more he felt that the person in front of him did not match the Han Ziwei he had investigated.
"Tell me, who exactly are you?"
The thick, large hand gripped "Blood Purple Rose"'s throat once more, and Li Mufeng's eyes were filled with coldness.
"I...who am I, Your Highness? Don't you know? I am Han Ziwei! The eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion."
This time, Li Mufeng held on quite tightly, and the "Blood Purple Rose" uttered intermittently.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Prince's residence."
Wang Feng's voice came from outside the car, and Li Mufeng let go of his hand.
"I don't care who you are. Now that you've become my queen, you'd better behave yourself. If you dare to have any designs on me or do anything to betray me, I won't let you off the hook."
“Since Your Highness does not love me, and I am not interested in Your Highness, why don’t Your Highness divorce me, or we can get a divorce?”
Li Mufeng, who was about to dismount, paused slightly. For some reason, upon hearing the words "divorce," his heart felt a tightness.
"Our marriage was arranged by the Emperor. Whether we stay together or not is not up to us. Unless the Emperor issues an edict, even if we disobey, I don't think you would want the Prime Minister's family to be executed!"
Li Mufeng's cold words made "Blood Purple Rose" grit her teeth in hatred.
"This kid dares to threaten me."
Just as "Blood Purple Rose" was pondering how to retaliate, the steward Du Qing came out.
"Your Highness, you're finally back! Go check on the young master! Something's happened to him."
"What's wrong with Chen'er?"
Upon hearing that Li Jingchen was in trouble, Li Mufeng no longer cared about entering the palace and hurried towards "Nianxi Garden".
