After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

Chapter 182 Going to Prince Rong's Mansion

Very tempting conditions.

Gu Shi stopped immediately.

"What do you want?"

"It's very simple." Even though she was suffering from illness, Fu Yongxu still endured the pain and walked in front of Gu Shi triumphantly, "You help me get Murong Jingyan, and I will help you get the Crown Princess of Nanyuan."

Her blunt words were too shocking.

"They are still in the palace," Gu Shi frowned and shouted angrily, "They are now envoys from Nanyuan, don't act recklessly."

"So what if he's an envoy from Nanyuan? Nanyuan's national strength is far inferior to Beichen's. Even if a war breaks out, Nanyuan will be left with nothing but defeat. If I want to get him then, won't he beg for mercy?"

Fu Yongxu puffed out her chest proudly.

Gu Shi looked at her disapprovingly, "Huijiang is waiting for an opportunity to strike. If we really go to war with Nanyuan, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape unscathed."

"So what? Huijiang is just a barbarian tribe. If we can defeat Nanyuan, we can naturally defeat them too."

Fu Yongxu is full of confidence.

In her opinion, Beichen is a rich and powerful country. As long as they want to fight, other countries will only be able to wag their tails and beg for mercy.

Gu Shi didn't want to pay attention to her anymore.

Turn around and leave again.

"Don't you want to make up for your previous regrets?"

Fu Yongxu's calm voice came again from behind Gu Shi.

He paused again.

Fu Yongxu's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph, "Everyone with a bit of common sense has heard about your ridiculous deeds.

The elder sister's regrets are made up by the younger sister. After all, we are both women. Isn't it the same if the lights are turned off? "

Between the lines, there is contempt for women.

Gu Shi retorted, "She is not an ordinary woman."

She is Shen Muxi's sister...

Gu Shi felt conflicted and regretful towards Shen Muxi.

He didn't even understand why they had suddenly come to this point...

"No matter if she's an ordinary woman or not, she's still a woman," Fu Yongxu waved her hand nonchalantly, "Anyway, if you want to make amends, there's always a chance."

At this point, she narrowed her eyes, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. "Also, I heard today that the fickle Crown Princess Nanyuan went out today and seemed to have met a man from Danyang."

Danyang?

Gu Shi's eyes were suddenly filled with an inscrutable emotion.

He is too familiar with this place.

"I heard her say that she wanted to ask that man to take care of something... Or maybe you should go back and check it out, there might be a surprise."

Fu Yongxu smiled at Gu Shi with ill intention.

What came to Gu Shi's mind at this moment was that he had heard before that Prince Nanyuan specially brought his daughter to Kyoto. After careful inspection, he found that the little girl was only a little similar to Xiaoxiao in body shape, and there was no similarity in other aspects.

He thought he was being too sensitive.

Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly heard Fu Yongxu say this.

Hope suddenly ignited in him.

Danyang...

...

Fu Yongxu thought that she had done nothing but instigate Gu Shi in the palace without anyone noticing.

In fact, after Shen Muxi left.

The content of the conversation between Fu Yongxu and Gu Shi had already reached Shen Muxi's ears.

Even though Shen Muxi knew that Fu Yongxu was cruel and inhumane, her shamelessness still shocked her.

The most shocking thing is the summer cicada.

"This Second Princess is clearly a princess of a country, respected by all the people. Why does she treat them like ants?"

Thinking of her, Nan Yuan, although the emperor had few children and the court struggles were serious, the high-ranking officials would never oppress the people for no reason.

Especially some old officials whose tempers are worse than the stones in the toilet.

He was angry at the sky, the earth, and the air, but when the people were starving, he would give away his limited food reserves to charity...

Shen Muxi didn't know what Xia Chan was thinking, so she said as if she was not surprised. "People in high positions never understand the poverty of the common people. They just think that if they can't exploit the common people, then the common people are useless."

She couldn't make any big changes though.

But when she thought about the people of Beichen suffering because of the stupidity of the decision makers, she couldn't help but sigh.

"In this case, how can Beichen go far?"

Now, it depends on whether King Xian can stand up.

"girl..."

"Okay, I'm fine."

Shen Muxi came back to his senses.

I secretly wondered where Fan Shan was going.

After a while, he finally decided to write a letter and send it to Danyang.

"After being reminded by Fu Yongxu, Gu Shi's attention will definitely fall on Danyang. Please help me send a message later."

"Yes."

Shen Muxi quickly wrote down what he wanted to say in the letter.

After Xia Chan sent someone to deliver the letter, she couldn't help but ask Xia Chan, "Is He Hong not back yet?"

It's already been half the day.

In the past, if he was asked to inquire about the surrounding news, he would be able to figure out all the causes and consequences within an hour.

This time, something was clearly wrong.

There was also a hint of worry on Xia Chan's face.

"Not yet."

...

That night, a fast horse quickly left Kyoto.

He was soon intercepted by another person who was chasing him.

After snatching the letter, the man slashed the throat of the person who delivered it.

The blood-stained letter was quickly delivered to Gu Shi's desk.

Looking at the familiar self, Gu Shi felt that even his breathing was about to freeze.

If it were a coincidence that there were two people in the world who looked similar.

Then this handwriting cannot be forged in any way.

Gu Shi could even feel his heavy breathing.

Even my hands were shaking as I pulled out the letter.

Wait until I can clearly see the familiar handwriting and content of the letter.

The ecstasy in his heart soared to the top of his head.

"Not dead... Xiaoxiao is not dead..."

Gu Shi's eyes turned red, and for a moment, he didn't know how to react.

When Wang Ying was called into the study, he saw Gu Shi's excitement which had not yet faded.

"Go to Danyang again, and this time, make sure you bring the person back safely."

Wang Ying looked confused, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Gu Shi excitedly wiped away the tears in his eyes, "Xiao Xiao, my Xiao Xiao is not dead..."

He even had a hope in his heart that the female corpse under the cliff of Mulan Mountain was not Shen Muxi.

And the Crown Princess who was said to be the sister of an old friend was not just the sister of an old friend, but an old friend.

Unexpectedly, God really heard his prayers.

Xiaoxiao is still here.

Then, based on the actions and attitude of Princess Nanyuan, there is almost a 90% chance that it is Mu Mu.

Thinking of the opportunity to reconcile with Shen Muxi.

Gu Shi's eyes turned red as he murmured to himself, "It's okay... I'm glad she's okay. I can forgive her for lying to me before..."

Wang Ying couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Gu Shi's anxious look.

After all, he was once a prince who was full of vigor and vitality.

When did he become so humble?

"Your Majesty, let's be more sober. The Madam and the Young Miss are gone."

He persuaded dryly.

Some words really cannot be answered with just a few words of persuasion.

Ever since Chen Shiliu was executed by the prince for accidentally drawing a knife at an inappropriate time and scaring the prince, it seemed that he was the only one the prince could use.

He was grateful for the prince's kindness and should have been willing to accept the prince's arrangement even at the cost of his life.

But it's not such an irrational way of saying no.

Gu Shi, however, seemed to have not heard his words at all. He glared at him and said, "Why don't you go now?"

In the end, Wang Ying didn't dare to say anything else.

...

Worried about Fan Shan's safety, Shen Muxi tossed and turned all night.

Until the sky turns fish belly white.

She just closed her eyes for a while.

I was woken up by the summer cicadas before I fell asleep.

"Miss, He Hong is back."

Shen Muxi was sleeping in a daze. When she heard that He Hong had returned, she wanted to see He Hong as soon as possible to confirm Fan Shan's safety.

He completely ignored the fact that the summer cicada's nose and eyes were red.

outside the house.

The humid morning air was filled with the smell of blood.

Shen Muxi suddenly lost all sleepiness.

There was a knife scar on He Hong's right arm so deep that the bone was visible.

His face turned pale.

When he saw Shen Muxi, he fell to his knees.

"I have failed to live up to the young lady's trust..."

Generally speaking.

He Hong is a guard beside Murong Jingyan.

In the past, people basically remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe.

To be able to make him lose his composure like this...

Shen Muxi didn't even dare to think about it...

"how?"

The surroundings seemed like an illusion, and Shen Muxi didn't even know how these two dry words came out of his throat.

"I'm late."

He Hong's self-blaming voice fell into her ears like thunder.

Her mind went blank.

Shen Muxi clenched his fists tightly, and it took him a while to regain his sanity. "What on earth is going on?"

"It's the second princess."

He Hong remained kneeling on the ground, motionless. "I found Miss Fan's body in the mass grave. The secret guard driving the carriage was seriously injured while protecting Miss Fan and had to resign. When I found him, he was only breathing his last breath..."

Then, He Hong told Shen Muxi everything that happened today.

After Fan Shan left, he went straight to Danyang without any delay.

Unexpectedly, the carriage had only gone about ten miles when it was almost hit by an out-of-control red-maned horse.

What was even more unexpected was that it was the beloved horse of the second princess of the dynasty.

If it were an ordinary noble, no matter how arrogant he was, when his red-maned horse lost control and hit someone first, the fault could not be found on the victim.

However, the horse guards around the second princess insisted that they were the ones who disturbed the second princess's horse.

The people in the carriage were asked to come out, kneel down, lick the horse's hooves and buttocks clean to apologize.

Fan Shan had a hot temper, so naturally an argument arose.

The second princess who came later saw it.

The second princess thought Fan Shan was just an ordinary merchant, so without further explanation, she had her dragged to a nearby tree, hung her upside down, and chopped off her hands, leaving her to bleed to death...

The coachman dressed as a secret guard wanted to resist.

In the end, he was no match for the enemy's larger numbers and better armor, and he was quickly killed.

All they could do was watch Fan Shan being hung upside down on a tree and bleeding to death...

He Hong was clearly trying hard to keep his tone calm, but when he said these words, his voice was still noticeably trembling.

Finally, he told Shen Muxi about his concerns.

"Miss, I know you are very angry now, but sincerely, please put the overall situation first.

Because Miss Fan died tragically, I knew she would definitely seek justice for her. However, I was also worried that wrongly accusing a good person would bring trouble to you and Your Highness. So after learning the truth, I sneaked into the Princess's residence at night.

I discovered that there were several concubines in the Second Princess's residence, and they looked very familiar... Before I could recall them carefully, they were discovered..."

Therefore, He Hong did not return home for a whole night.

He Hong explained the whole story in detail.

But Shen Muxi's subsequent words were almost completely ignored.

At this moment, her mind was full of the thought that "Fan Shan lost her life because she intercepted her."

There was a daunting low pressure lingering around, and tears quickly filled up in the eyes.

He Hong and Xia Chan were tense all over, their eyes fixed on Shen Muxi, ready to rush out at any time.

finally...

"That vicious woman."

Shen Muxi's aura remained unchanged, but the mist in her eyes was completely hidden by her.

"girl..."

He Hong and Xia Chan called out to Shen Muxi in unison.

I was afraid that she would do something irreparable because of impulse.

"Do not worry about me."

Shen Muxi's face was so pale that it was almost transparent, but her trembling lips were still chattering, "Don't worry about me, I won't be impulsive..."

Even as she said this, her clenched back teeth had already betrayed her current mood.

She turned around mechanically, trying to get back to her room.

But it was as if the legs had a mind of their own.

Finally, after saying "I won't be impulsive" for the third time, she rushed out of the palace like an arrow.

"girl..."

Xia Chan hurried to catch up.

Shen Muxi seemed tireless, running out of the palace and jumping onto the exclusive carriage almost in one go.

"Go to Prince Rong's Mansion."

She gasped and gave orders to the driver, her eyes were bloodshot and she looked very scary.

Xia Chan jumped onto the carriage before the coachman left.

As a martial artist, she adjusted her breathing very quickly. While Shen Muxi was still gasping for breath, she had already resumed normal breathing.

He whispered, "Miss, He Hong said today that it's inappropriate to have a lover in the Princess's Mansion. Why don't we wait for His Highness to come back..."

"Xia Chan, I know my limits."

Shen Muxi interrupted Xia Chan without hesitation.

It's easy to guess what Xia Chan wants to say. It's nothing more than that Fu Yongxu's lover is from some other country or other faction.

If we take action now, it might affect Murong Jingyan's overall plan...

But...

"He Hong said that he has already found someone to bury Miss Fan. Why don't we go back and ask He Hong where Miss Fan is buried so we can pay our respects first?"

Xia Chan tried hard to divert Shen Muxi's attention with other things.

Shen Muxi couldn't hear a word, and even after hearing Xia Chan's words, she wanted to laugh -

Worship?

Now Fan Shan died miserably and innocently.

If Fu Yongxu's head is not sent to Fan Shan's grave, how can Fan Shan rest in peace?

Think of this.

Shen Muxi involuntarily stroked the sleeves of her clothes with exquisite patterns.

At Shen Muxi's request, the carriage moved at an extremely fast speed.

Soon they arrived at the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion.

Without waiting for the servants outside to pass on the message, Shen Muxi had already jumped off the carriage.

"Crown Princess Mu...?"

Almost at the same time, Gu Shi's voice filled with surprise sounded behind her.
