"Has Yun Qingluo really set off?" Mu Zhi had recently been keeping a close eye on Yun Qingluo's movements with the hidden guards her father had given her.
They were instructed to inform him immediately of any unusual activity.
"Reporting to Miss, we set off early this morning, heading towards Minchuan. The carriages behind us probably carry medicinal herbs," the hidden guard replied, kneeling on the ground.
"Okay, I understand. Don't let this get out of your mind. Don't tell Father either," Mu Zhi said in a gentle voice.
"Yes, sir." The hidden guard replied and then withdrew, disappearing into the shadows.
Mu Zhi stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside, but her heart was filled with thoughts of Yun Qingluo.
She didn't know what dangers Yun Qingluo would encounter on her trip to Minchuan, but she hoped she would be safe and sound.
If Yun Qingluo needs help, she will do everything she can to help her.
After all, it was she who asked for their help.
A sudden noise came from outside. Mu Zhi snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at the source of the sound.
"Knock knock".
She had just stood up when there was a light knock on the window.
"Miss Mu, it's me." A voice came from outside the window.
Mu Zhi wondered, why was he here?
Could it be that something happened to His Highness?
Mu Zhi walked over quickly and opened the window. "Why didn't you come in through the front door?"
"I was pressed for time, so I sneaked out," Shadow replied, wiping the rain from his face.
Mu Zhi sensed the urgency in Yingzi's voice and quickly asked, "What is it? Could it be His Highness?"
Shadow shook his head and told Mu Zhi all the information he had gathered.
Mu Zhi took two steps back in shock, her face filled with astonishment, and said in a trembling voice, "What! How could this be? Does that mean I'm sending them to their deaths?"
Her voice was filled with disbelief and self-blame.
“Due to the excessive rainfall and continuous flooding, the traces left by those forces were easily washed away by the flood. At first, I thought those who were secretly watching had left, but the recent sudden outbreak and rapid spread of the epidemic shows that they have not left,” Shadow calmly explained the situation.
“Yes, the floods aren’t over yet, and the rain is so heavy. Even if an epidemic broke out, it shouldn’t have spread so rapidly. Someone must be deliberately manipulating things, trying to create chaos.” Mu Zhi’s voice was cold and firm as she began to analyze the situation.
"Damn it! These people are incredibly audacious, daring to set their sights on the ruler of the Xuancang Continent. If Your Highness really goes to the Minjiang River, the consequences will be unimaginable. They are trying to stir up the current situation and take the opportunity to disrupt the world for their own selfish gain. It seems that they are not only targeting Your Highness, but also posing a threat to the entire Xuancang Continent," Mu Zhi said angrily.
“That’s right. If the other continents really joined forces to deal with Xuancang Continent, then this war would cause countless innocent lives to be lost. Now, we are only glad that Your Highness did not go to Minchuan again, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable,” Shadow said worriedly.
The shadow said anxiously, "The problem is, although His Highness didn't go to the disaster area, the two from the Sumeru Continent did. If something happens to them..."
Mu Zhi frowned. She knew the seriousness of the matter; if something happened to the people of the Sumeru Continent...
She quickly asked, "If something happens and the Sumeru Continent comes to demand an explanation, we're not afraid, but if other continents use this as an excuse to cause trouble, that would be a real problem. Lord Ying, you rushed over here so urgently, you must have a plan, right?"
A hint of hesitation crossed Shadow's face, as if he didn't know how to answer. After a while, he slowly said, "Yes, but Your Highness might already know."
Mu Zhi lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "I know, I know. I'll explain it to him. Those two absolutely cannot get into trouble. It's all my fault. I was only focused on solving the epidemic over there and didn't think about all that. I've caused him trouble."
Shadow quickly comforted her, "His Highness won't blame you. If it weren't for Miss Mu, it would be His Highness who went there now. Besides, this matter is a secret, and even the court officials rarely know about it. It's normal that Miss Mu doesn't know the situation in the disaster area."
"Alright, just tell me, what's the solution?" Mu Zhi shook her head; now was not the time to blame herself.
"Miss Mu, do you still remember the bracelet His Highness gave you when you got engaged?" Shadow looked at Mu Zhi's wrist and, not seeing anything familiar, asked.
Hearing this, Mu Zhi was a little puzzled, but she still nodded.
She walked quickly to the dressing case and carefully took out the beautifully packaged bracelet from a locked box at the bottom.
Seeing how carefully Mu Zhi wrapped the bracelet, Yingzi was slightly taken aback.
He thought to himself: Your Highness, you are in for a treat.
"You mean this bracelet? Does it have some other use?" Mu Zhi picked up the bracelet and ran to the window. She then realized that she had forgotten to let the shadow into the room.
"Miss Mu, you don't need to be so polite. If His Highness finds out, I'll die a horrible death." Shadow seemed to be in a good mood.
Mu Zhi raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Why?"
Shadow hesitated for a moment before saying, "Because...because His Highness doesn't like others disturbing you."
Mu Zhi said with a half-smile, "Oh~ I see."
Seeing that Mu Zhi did not press the matter further, Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "This bracelet has been passed down from generation to generation by the queens. In addition to symbolizing the identity of Queen Xuancang, it has another little-known function. It is also a token, a token that belongs only to the queens of each generation. It can summon Fengxuan. The previous owner of Fengxuan was Your Highness's mother."
Mu Zhi was stunned. Feng Xuan?
What is that?
That sounds pretty impressive.
The shadow continued, "Fengxuan is an army, the most elite force in the Xuancang Kingdom, possessing the strongest combat power and loyalty. Only the queens of each generation can control this army, and this army serves only the queen. Therefore, this bracelet is not only a symbol of the queen, but also a symbol of power."
After hearing this, Mu Zhi couldn't help but exclaim, "So this bracelet is so important!"
"Thank you for telling me all this," Mu Zhi said gratefully.
Shadow sighed, "His Highness didn't tell you when he gave you the bracelet, probably because he wanted to surprise you on your wedding night. I didn't want to tell you either, but I'm forced to now."
"You mean I can summon the Black Phoenix to protect Yun Qingluo and the others?" Mu Zhi gripped the bracelet in her hand tightly.
Shadow nodded. "When you use the power of the Black Phoenix, His Highness will naturally be able to keep it from you."
Mu Zhi hesitated, her tone tinged with guilt, "Have I caused you trouble?"
“No, Miss Mu, I dare not comment, but things often have two sides, and this is also an opportunity for them.” Shadow spoke somewhat ambiguously.
