Feng Xilan's face was cold and sullen, and he made no attempt to hide the impatience and disgust in his eyes. If the former Mu Chenshuang had seen him with this expression, she probably would have lowered her posture and groveled for mercy long ago.
Now, looking at Mu Chenshuang's consistently indifferent gaze, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his chest.
"I'm here to remind you that in two days it will be the Emperor's birthday, and foreign envoys will be coming to pay their respects. You'd better be prepared, or you'll embarrass the Crown Prince's family."
Feng Xilan came specifically to remind her of this, so he must have already received intelligence.
Although the Tianzhao Kingdom was powerful, foreign envoys would inevitably provoke it during their audiences, and the outcome would affect the country's reputation.
The Tianzhao Kingdom must be closely monitoring the movements of the envoys and their secret plots in order to prepare countermeasures.
"What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"
Feng Xilan said coldly, "Among those accompanying the Southern Border Princess this time is Motihua, one of the Four Guardians of Southern Border. She is a renowned swordswoman who has been on the battlefield and repelled enemy troops. She also knows everything about you. There will definitely be some sparring between you then."
Mori flower.
Mu Chenshuang searched her memory for this person's name; he was indeed a martial arts master.
"Thank you for informing me, Your Highness. I understand. If Your Highness has nothing else, please return."
He was so kind as to tell him this, but it was all for the sake of the Crown Prince's reputation.
She truly felt sorry for the original owner of this body. She had lost all her inner strength to save him, and now he only coldly told her to be prepared and not to embarrass the Crown Prince's Palace, without ever thinking about how to resolve this competition for her, who had no internal strength.
Feng Xilan looked at Mu Chenshuang's stunningly beautiful face, her indifferent expression as she ruthlessly drove him away without a trace of lingering affection. This was clearly the result he had always wanted, but now he felt even more unhappy.
He didn't linger any longer, turned around and strode away.
After Feng Xilan left, Linglong hurriedly closed the door, then turned and rushed to Mu Chenshuang, anxiously saying, "Your Highness, you've lost your inner strength. How will you fight against Modihua? I've heard rumors about her; she's a ruthless female demon, highly skilled in martial arts. She wields the Double Flower Sword, ranked seventh in the sword manual. She once single-handedly massacred an entire military camp and beheaded an enemy general. If Your Highness hadn't been injured, you could have handled it, but now..."
Mu Chenshuang remained calm and said, "If we can't avoid it, then we'll face it head-on. Nothing will happen."
Linglong was still worried, "But you clearly saved him and that's why you lost all your inner strength, yet the Crown Prince isn't helping you now."
Mu Chenshuang reached out and patted Linglong's head, comforting her, "It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Don't worry, it's alright. Bring me the medicine!"
Linglong turned around and walked to the table, bringing over the medicine.
"You've been watching over the medicine you've been brewing?"
"Yes, I went to prepare some snacks for Her Majesty along the way."
Mu Chenshuang didn't ask any more questions. When she was drinking the medicine, she noticed that those two kinds of medicine were missing. Before having Linglong decoct the medicine, she specifically asked her to add some more to today's medicine, but now they were gone.
It's obvious that someone is secretly watching her movements.
This person is probably still here.
She just couldn't sense where he was right now.
After Mu Chenshuang took the medicine, she told Linglong to go and rest.
She turned and went back to the bed, leaning back and thinking.
After a while.
Mu Chenshuang got out of bed, walked to the dressing table, and took out a silver needle.
She wanted to test whether this person was really still here.
Holding a silver needle in one's hand.
Insert the needle directly into the lower abdomen.
The next second.
With a whoosh.
Mu Chenshuang felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the silver needle fell to the ground.
really.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly stood up, saw a dark shadow flash by outside the window, quickly walked to the window, pushed it open, jumped out of the window, and chased after the shadow.
But the shadowy figure moved incredibly fast, disappearing silently into the night.
Mu Chenshuang stood on the cold ground, the wind howling, the atmosphere gloomy and eerie. This was the backyard, the weather was cold, and there was no one around.
She looked around, and her intuition told her that the person was still there.
Who exactly are you?
The only response she received was the howling wind.
"You have been secretly switching my medicine. Yesterday, you specially treated me to dispel the cold and heal my wounds. It seems you really care about my health. I wonder if my stomach will have any problems if I stand in this cold wind for an hour?"
Still no one responded.
"In that case, I will stand here and continue to waste my time with you."
Beneath a withered tree, a stunningly beautiful profile was silhouetted against the dark, snowy light. Strands of silver hair fluttered in the wind, and an invisible barrier seemed to surround him, preventing the falling snowflakes from lingering on him.
