Chapter 45 Take her away It seems we will meet again tonight, the iceberg beauty...
Early the next morning.
Mu Xingchen had just fallen asleep for a while when he was called to have breakfast.
Feng Xue stood by the bed with porridge in her hand and said helplessly, "The Master has instructed that you must have three meals a day on time."
Mu Xingchen buried her head in her pillow in anger, muttering, "How come he's more controlling than the nanny?"
Fengxue didn't quite understand, "What?"
Mu Xingchen struggled to lift the pillow and sit up. She smiled and said, "It's nothing, Sister Fengxue."
She took the porridge from Fengxue's hand and quickly drank it, then handed the bowl to Fengxue. "Sister Fengxue, can you help me find out if anything happened in Prince Yan's mansion today?"
Fengxue's mouth clenched. She was being asked to inquire about Prince Yan? If she remembered correctly, Prince Yan seemed to be her fiancé? Then what about her master?
Seeing her expression, Mu Xingchen knew she had misunderstood. She explained, "Yesterday I gave the jade pendant for breaking off the engagement to father, so today I want to know if anything has happened in Prince Yan's mansion. After all, I wanted to break off the engagement sooner rather than later. Now my father has confined me to my room, and I can't leave, so could you please help me find out. Also, I want to know what happened to my sister who framed me. Although she framed me, she also lost her child. How pitiful~"
Xiao Qi was getting goosebumps on her bracelet. How could anyone be better than her when it comes to tea art?
Feng Xue's lips softened. "Okay, I'll find out for you right away."
Mu Xingchen nodded obediently.
After the wind and snow went away, Mu Xingchen lay down and prepared to have a good sleep again.
Xiao Qi was speechless. "No, are you really going to openly hand this matter over to Feng Xue to investigate? She's the perverted one, aren't you afraid of a disaster?"
Mu Xingchen yawned and said slowly, "I have an impeccable case. Why would I want to capsize? Anyone who doesn't want to waste their time investigating personally is a fool. Do you know the difference between management and employees? They have so many people and so much power. It would be a piece of cake to track down Mo Fei."
Xiao Qi: "......" She suspected that she was mocking her.
Okay, sleep well.
It was not until noon that Fengxue prepared lunch and Mu Xingchen got up.
She walked to the table yawning and looked at the table full of dishes. She really suspected that if she continued like this, she would turn into a pig, as only pigs were fed three meals a day on time.
But... she quite likes it.
"Sister Fengxue, let's eat together!" Mu Xingchen picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in the bowl opposite.
Fengxue nodded and sat across from her. She said seriously, "Prince Yan is under house arrest."
Mu Xingchen's eyes lit up. Oh, he was also under house arrest.
Feng Xue's expression became somewhat complicated. "Today in the court, your father reported Prince Yan to the emperor. He accused him of falsely accusing you without any basis for fact."
"Then what?" Mu Xingchen asked excitedly.
Feng Xue's expression became increasingly complex. "Then His Majesty confined Prince Yan to his house, and His Majesty agreed to cancel your engagement."
Mu Xingchen clapped his hands and said happily: "Great!!!"
This marriage was made possible by the gathering of many forces, so it would be effortless to withdraw from it!
Seeing her so excited, Feng Xue couldn't help but say, "Don't think your father is a good man. He's not doing this for you at all."
"Ah?" Mu Xingchen asked in confusion. She didn't say it was for her.
Fengxue sighed and explained to her, "People are saying that the Imperial Tutor and Prince Yan's marriage failed and they've become enemies. Little do they know that he's just using you as a pawn to discuss another marriage. This is a court relationship, called mutual restraint. Prince Yan is now quite powerful and is the next crown prince. Although the emperor is happy to see the two families marry, he is still young and it's too early for him to abdicate. How can I explain this to you?"
Mu Xingchen picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewing while saying, "No need to explain, Sister Fengxue, I know. I know how my father treated me since I was a child, Sister Fengxue, don't worry."
That's not her point at all.
"But Sister Fengxue, after the emperor was furious, what happened to the sister who had a miscarriage?" Mu Xingchen put down his chopsticks and asked worriedly.
A trace of disgust flashed in Fengxue's eyes, "I demand your death."
Mu Xingchen pretended to be shocked and said, "That...that...that won't happen..."
"He's not dead." Feng Xue replied, "He's been hidden by Prince Yan and is now outside Dongjiao Manor. If you want revenge, I can..."
"No!" Mu Xingchen interrupted her. She said righteously, "That sister has already had a miscarriage. She has received the punishment she deserves. Sister Fengxue, let's end it here."
Fengxue sighed, "You're just soft-hearted, that's all."
Mu Xingchen curled the corners of his lips calmly, "Outside Dongjiao Village..."
It seems like we'll meet again tonight, that cold beauty.
Xiao Qi: “…”
It was very late at night.
Mu Xingchen searched for a long time outside Dongjiao Manor and encountered a ghost wall. If she could not alert the enemy now, she really wanted to shatter this ghost formation with a palm.
After spending half an incense stick of time to walk out of the ghost wall, Mu Xingchen complained speechlessly: "He is too good at hiding." If she had not used her spiritual power to explore at this moment, she would definitely not be able to find it by simply looking for it. She wanted to save time on spiritual power, but in the end she still wasted half an incense stick of cultivation before finding the place.
Not only is this house very secluded in terms of location, it also has a ghost wall formation outside, and is tightly surrounded by at least three layers inside and outside, with several masters of the Sky-Splitting Mirror stationed there.
Mu Xingchen stood on a tree outside the house. Xiao Qi comforted her, "It's okay, at least we found her. But I always feel something is wrong. Why spend so much time and effort on a woman who can't practice? She has no cultivation, so even with a maid with a Huafeng mirror, she will definitely not be able to escape."
Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "There must be a story, and it must be an exciting one."
Really curious.
She took out the golden mask she had carefully prepared and covered her face.
Xiao Qi twitched his lips and said, "The face is covered, but the red dress is particularly eye-catching in the night."
"You don't understand. This is my character setting." Mu Xingchen curled the corners of his lips. "Don't even mention that I'm wearing red. Even if I don't wear it, they won't be able to find me."
"You are still as arrogant and proud as ever. It seems that you haven't been hit yet." Xiao Qi chuckled.
The smile on Mu Xingchen's lips froze, "I won't make trouble with you."
The next second, she silently arrived at Mo Fei's room. As soon as she entered, she saw a faint candlelight at the end of her bed. The light was so dim that it only illuminated the area where she slept. Mu Xingchen pursed her lips as she looked at the candlelight. This habit was very similar to her old one; she always had to light a lamp before sleeping.
Suddenly, Mo Fei on the bed opened her eyes. She quickly pulled out the dagger from under her pillow, stood up, and squinted in the direction of Mu Xingchen, asking warily, "Who?"
Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow. She had deliberately concealed her presence. How could someone discover her without any cultivation?
Xiao Qi was also surprised and asked, "Who is this woman?"
"Even though her cultivation has been destroyed, her five senses are still incomparable to ordinary people. However, the fact that she can find me now can only mean one thing..."
She and Xiao Qi said in unison: "Her previous cultivation level was definitely not lower than mine (yours)."
Even stronger than her...
Mu Xingchen's expression became even more complicated. How could such a gifted child of destiny fall to this point?
Mo Fei lifted the bed curtain and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? What brings you here so late at night?"
Mu Xingchen frowned and tilted her head slightly to look outside. Could it be that as soon as she spoke, everyone inside and outside was alarmed?
The room was tightly wrapped by an alien aura, which came with a strong murderous intent.
Just when the people outside had reached the door, Mu Xingchen raised his finger slightly, and a powerful spiritual power rose up, directly knocking the door and the people out.
Just as she turned her head to make a second move, she suddenly paused.
"Miss!" Li Yu used her spiritual power to quickly run in and block in front of Mo Fei. She turned around and asked Mu Xingchen sternly, "Who are you? What do you want to do to our young lady?"
Xiao Qi was speechless and said, "I should have knocked her out and taken her away."
Mu Xingchen frowned slightly, and she waved her palm out again. The powerful spiritual power directly blocked the entry into the room.
Turning around, she looked into Mo Fei's eyes and said directly and clearly: "First, I am not from Li Yan, nor am I from the royal family. Second, do you want to come with me?"
With a "swish", Li Yu drew out the sword and pointed it at Mu Xingchen.
Mo Fei narrowed her eyes, glanced outside, and said coldly, "Xiao Li, put away your sword."
With another "swish" sound, Li Yu put the sword back without hesitation.
Mo Fei got off the bed and stood in front of Mu Xingchen. The moonlight cast a chill on her face, but her pupils were frighteningly bright. She said almost without hesitation, "I'll go with you."
At this moment, the signal smoke outside had been lit for a long time.
Mu Xingchen curled the corners of her lips slightly and raised her hand gently.
"Bang!" A violent spiritual power exploded outside, and the roof of the entire house was blown into pieces of broken bricks.
Li Yu looked at Mu Xingchen in shock. Such a powerful aura! Several Sky-Splitting Mirrors outside were practically struck without a fight back by a single blow. This person's strength had already reached the level of Burning Soul. Such terrifying strength! Exactly the same as that of the young lady back then.
Mu Xingchen picked up Mo Fei and Li Yu and left. When he left, only a ruin remained. The people outside didn't even see Mu Xingchen's shadow. This was the crushing power of absolute strength.
