After Hua Mancheng led Mu Beichen to escape from the palace of Jiang Lan Kingdom, they rode back to Bei You Kingdom at full speed. It took three whole days for Mu Beichen's health to gradually improve.
However, when he returned after regaining consciousness, he found that the Prince Jing's mansion had undergone tremendous changes.
As he approached the gate, he saw the guards lying on the ground, and every house in the mansion showed signs of vandalism. Everything of value had been looted. He also discovered that Lingzhi, who had been staying at Fuxi Courtyard, had also disappeared.
Staring intently at everything before him, he suddenly realized that this matter was very likely related to the upheavals in the imperial court. During the time he was gone, his nemesis, Mu Feiyu, would certainly not give up so easily.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Mu Beichen headed straight for the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion without a second thought. At that moment, he saw two white seals affixed to the gate of the mansion.
At this moment, the feeling of impending doom grew stronger.
Mu Beichen waited near the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion until the night was deep and quiet. Taking advantage of the darkness, he saw that there was no one around the mansion, so he quietly climbed over the wall and went deep into the courtyard.
His black attire blended seamlessly with the night, and in the dim moonlight, his agile figure could be vaguely seen flashing by. He moved swiftly and quickly explored the entire mansion.
Following a winding path along the edge of the back garden, he saw a figure huddled in a corner, trembling. He quickly stepped forward to investigate, and as the person slowly looked up from his arms, he abruptly stopped and exclaimed in surprise, "Elegy?! What are you doing here?"
Mu Wange stared at the man in front of her for a long time before she could see his face clearly. She quickly straightened up and threw herself into Mu Beichen's arms while crying.
"Brother! Why are you only getting back now?"
Especially considering that he had come all this way and seen that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and the Prince of Jing's mansion were exactly the same, his intuition told him that Mu Wange's appearance was very likely related to this matter.
Mu Beichen's expression suddenly changed. He pressed on Mu Wange's shoulder and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
"Brother, I've gotten myself into big trouble!" Mu Wange suddenly met his gaze, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. She immediately knelt on the ground and confessed the truth: "Mu Feiyu has found out that I secretly robbed the disaster relief funds from Jici Hospital. My father has been imprisoned in the palace jail awaiting trial, and there has been no news of him since..."
"..."
Before Mu Wange could finish speaking, Mu Beichen lowered his eyes in a daze. A heart-wrenching pain surged into his chest. He pressed his chest and roared inwardly. Before he could finish speaking, a mouthful of dark blood spurted out!
The deadly poison in Mu Beichen's body relapsed, and he staggered and fell to the ground, falling into a deep coma.
Mu Wange was immediately terrified and frantically shook Mu Beichen's body, shouting, "Brother, brother! What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, she quickly composed herself and sent Mu Beichen back to the Prince Jing's residence overnight.
Upon receiving news of Mu Beichen's impending death, Mu Feiyu became even more unrestrained, taking sole control of both domestic and foreign affairs in the Northern You Dynasty, wielding imperial power and becoming second only to the emperor.
Meanwhile, the news spread throughout the world overnight, plunging the Northern You Kingdom into an unprecedented predicament in just a few days.
Therefore, chaos reigned both inside and outside the palace, as if bees were swarming out of their nest.
