Chapter 13: What's the secret prison? He's crying? Could it be true love? ...
Mu Xingchen took the medicine and went to the place where he and Mo Fei had agreed to meet yesterday.
Today was the day the restaurant was launching a new product, so there were many more people there than yesterday, and the entire restaurant was bustling with activity. In an unnoticed corner, Mu Xingchen, wearing a veiled hat, walked straight into the backyard.
As soon as she stepped into the yard, she felt an unfriendly gaze. Mu Xingchen looked in the direction of that gaze and saw that the maid at the door was staring at her from head to toe with a resentful look.
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow and walked over. The maid said sarcastically in a bad tone: "You are late."
Mu Xingchen didn't care about her ugly face, but tilted his head and smiled, "Don't be unhappy, I'm helping your lady."
The maid sneered and said with disgust, "If it were simply to help, it would be fine, but we all know whether Miss Mu has selfish motives in her heart."
Mo Fei's voice interrupted them from inside: "Okay, A Ling, stop talking."
Mu Xingchen yawned and pushed the door open. The moment the door opened, a strong smell of agarwood filled the air. Today's incense was much stronger than yesterday's, and it smelled heavy and uneasy.
She walked around the curtain and went straight in: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Mo Fei turned her head and chuckled at Mu Xingchen, saying, "I thought you wouldn't come." Then she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mu Xingchen, "Today's tea is a little different from yesterday's. Miss Mu, you can try it."
Mu Xingchen sat down, took the tea and drank it all in one gulp. "Sweet?" she asked in surprise.
"Yes." Mo Fei nodded. "Miss Mu doesn't like bitter tea, so today I brought tea from the top of Yunfeng Mountain. This tea has been watered with spring water and snow since its inception, so it is unusually sweet. I guessed Miss Mu might like this taste, so I brought some extra when I came. You can take it all away later."
Mu Xingchen's lips curled up slightly: "Okay." She took out the medicine she had just bought and placed it on the table, "I bought this at the pharmacy. They said it's the best abortion medicine and it won't hurt your body."
Mo Fei stared at the medicine bottle, her eyebrows moving slightly as she said, "Medicine from the Mercy Hall." Her fingers paused on the teacup, her eyes drooping slightly. After a moment, she raised her head with a complicated look and asked, "Why? From what I know, Miss Mu is not valued in the Mu Mansion, and spirit stones cannot be taken out at any time. Since Miss Mu regards me as a rival in love, ordinary red flowers will do."
"Red flowers are harmful to the body. Miss Mo has a chronic illness and has no spiritual power to protect her. I don't want to kill two people." Mu Xingchen said lazily while leaning back.
Mo Fei frowned deeply. She looked at Mu Xingchen, tightly clenching the bottle in her hand, and then said cautiously again, "You know the consequences, right? It's not too late to regret now. Once the truth comes out today, the Mu family won't be able to protect you."
Mu Xingchen lazily lay in the recliner and said with a smile: "It is you who should consider it carefully, not me. The child is yours. If you want it, I will..."
Before he could finish his words, Mo Fei swallowed the pill without hesitation.
Mu Xingchen was speechless, "You are really...decisive..."
A trace of disgust flashed across Mo Fei's face. "You already guessed that I wouldn't want it. Even if it wasn't you, it would be me. I just wanted to save your life out of kindness."
Mu Xingchen chuckled and sighed, "The reason I bought this medicine for you today is because you couldn't buy it yourself. Your maid is watching you, and Li Yan sent people to watch you and your maid. If you try to get rid of it, it will only hurt you both. Regardless of my purpose, I have good intentions for you."
Mo Fei's eyes became complicated: "If I die, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to get rid of everything?" She could never have imagined that Mu Xingchen spent such a huge amount of money just to save her body.
Mu Xingchen took a sip of tea and said, "If she died, wouldn't it be such a pity? We only have one life in this world, right? I admire Miss Mo." She leaned forward and smiled, "I'm curious about Miss Mo, too."
Mo Fei frowned deeply, and for a moment he was a little confused about what Mu Xingchen's purpose was.
After a while, her breathing gradually became heavy and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Mu Xingchen sat up and said, "The medicine is taking effect." She shouted towards the door, "A Ling, come in."
After hearing this, A Ling pushed open the door and rushed in. She squatted beside Mo Fei and asked worriedly, "Miss! Are you okay?"
Mu Xingchen stood up and said, "She will be fine. You can send your young lady back now. If anything happens, I will take care of it alone. You will know nothing. Do you understand?"
Ah Ling turned her head, looked at the bottle on the table and pursed her lips: "Thank you." She helped Mo Fei up, "Miss, let's go."
"Wait." Mo Fei said with a pale face, "Mu Xingchen, whether you believe it or not, Li Yan is definitely not a good person. You'd better not be too deeply in love."
"I understand." Mu Xingchen replied.
Mo Fei turned her head with red eyes, and A Ling picked her up and left.
Mu Xingchen sighed as she looked at the direction the two men left. She sat back in her original seat and squinted her eyes lazily.
The scent of agarwood in the room dissipated a little as the door opened, and the oppressive dullness also dissipated a lot.
Xiao Qi sighed, "Could it be that he was still reminding you at the last moment that it was dangerous to do this? He was clearly a love rival, but it seems that he was moved by the medicine you bought with ten spirit stones."
Mu Xingchen frowned slightly, "I was wondering how such a decisive and intelligent woman could let herself fall into this situation."
Xiao Qi speculated, "Maybe it was Li Yan who did it. He schemed on the battlefield to completely destroy someone's spiritual power, and then forced him into a desperate situation, so he pretended to be a good person. Look, he beat his own child without hesitation. What does this mean? It means that not only does he have no feelings for him, but he also hates him. If Li Yan was really that good to her, how could he hate him so much?"
Mu Xingchen said in surprise, "Xiao Qi, you understand humans now. You even guessed some of their essence."
Xiao Qi laughed and said, "Isn't that because you've read too many storybooks? I remember reading things like 'Master Fu's Canary', 'The Little Wife Who Stole My Brother's Love', and 'Wife, Be Obedient, You Have No Way to Escape'..."
Mu Xingchen got goosebumps on the soles of her feet, and she said with a chill, "Stop talking."
Xiao Qi smirked: "Hehe."
Whenever she thought of the plot, the male protagonist's face automatically emerged in her mind, Li Yan. Mu Xingchen shuddered again, "I thought he looked okay... Forget it, forget it..."
Mu Xingchen closed his eyes and began to hum: "Birds are singing, fish are swimming, there is joy in the water and in the sky..."
Time passed by minute by minute...
She was getting impatient waiting, "Why aren't you here yet?" As soon as she finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the door, and someone shouted angrily, "Quick, surround this place and search inside."
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Isn't this coming?"
The rustling sound of footsteps, "dong dong dong," is getting closer and closer.
Mu Xingchen yawned, stretched, and then sat up straight.
The next second, a loud "bang" sounded in the room, deafening, causing the entire room to shake a little, and the door was directly shattered.
Mu Xingchen stared at the door in confusion. Wasn't the door already open? Why did he need to smash it?
"Mu! Qing!" Li Yan's every word was filled with chilling murderous intent, and overwhelming pressure attacked Mu Xingchen.
Mu Xingchen's face changed, she covered her chest, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Qi asked anxiously, "Xingchen, are you okay?"
"It's okay." She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, raised her head and smiled at Li Yan: "What's wrong with Prince Yan? Even if I didn't return the jade pendant on time, there's no need to be so angry, right?"
Li Yanqi's eyes were red, and the rise and fall of his chest and the rapid breathing showed how angry he was. He clenched his fists tightly, and his fingertips dug into the bone marrow. Suddenly, a large amount of blood overflowed from his palms and flowed to the ground one after another. The surroundings were eerily still.
He closed his eyes and his body was shaking.
Looking at the faint tear marks under his left eye, Mu Xingchen's expression suddenly became strange, "Crying?"
Xiao Qi was shocked: "What? He's crying? Could it be true love?"
After a while, Li Yan opened his eyes, filled with endless coldness and murderous intent. He approached step by step, his pressure growing stronger and stronger. "She didn't do anything, yet you harmed her child. Mu Qing, if you have anything to say, you should come to me instead of touching her!"
Mu Xingchen's face was immediately filled with panic. She argued cunningly, "What is Prince Yan saying? How can Mu Qing not understand?"
"At this point, you still dare to quibble? Believe it or not, I will torture you to death!" He approached step by step with murderous intent, "She came to keep a date with you, and the child was gone after she drank the tea you made. You put an abortion drug in that tea." The next second, Li Yan's hand fell on Mu Xingchen's neck unexpectedly. He threatened fiercely: "Do you really think I can't kill you? Huh? A waste of the Mu family, who would care even if I kill you?" The veins on his forehead bulged, and he had obviously lost his mind.
Li Yan exerted force on his hand, and Mu Xingchen's face turned red. She tried to pull his hand away, but it didn't move at all.
Mu Xingchen's eyes were red and she said with difficulty, "I... didn't! No... it wasn't me! You can't kill me without evidence. We... were married by the Emperor, and I'm the Emperor's legitimate daughter. If you... kill me, then you won't survive."
"How dare you threaten me!" Li Yan exerted force again, and Mu Xingchen's breath was deprived again. There was no room to breathe. He looked at her angrily, and his eyes were full of disgust and hatred.
Just when she was about to suffocate, Li Yan let go of her hand.
"Cough cough cough..." Mu Xingchen collapsed to the ground and coughed violently, with blood constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Li Yan looked down at her from above and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. Come, lock her up in the dark cell."
When Mu Xingchen heard about the secret cell, he panicked and said, "No, no, Your Highness Prince Yan, it's unfair. I really didn't do it, Your Highness! It's unfair, Your Highness!"
"Drag him away!" Li Yan said in disgust, "I thought the king would make you live a life worse than death!"
