Mu Qianxue knew that he wanted her to let go of her hatred for him, but … The hatred of exterminating a nation was not something that could be simply let go. From the moment she left Ying Tian, she made a vow that she would personally topple the West Chu with her life, so that Xiao Ruo Ao could have a taste of the destruction of her country and her family.

After seeing Gu Changfeng off, Xia Yue excitedly said, "I never thought that things would go so smoothly. This servant has even needed to spend a lot of time and effort to convince him."

Mu Qianxue took a sip of her already cold tea and said, "If I didn't know Gu Changfeng's personality well, I wouldn't have recklessly come to see him."

Xia Yue nodded and said, "This is really good luck. If Chu Di doesn't choose, then he wouldn't choose, but he chose Lord Gu instead. He could be considered to have done a good deed."

Just as Mu Qianxue was about to speak, a gust of cold wind blew in, bringing rain with it, causing her to cough violently. An abnormal flush surfaced on her face, and Xia Yue hurriedly closed the window, patting her stooped back.

Ever since they entered King Rui's mansion, Dongfang Yi knew that Mu Qianxue's body was weak, so things like ginseng, swallow's nest, and Snow Toad had never stopped to nourish her body. However, no matter how much they ate, they couldn't find even a single strand of flesh on Mu Qianxue.

After a long while, Mu Qianxue finally stopped coughing and let go of the hand that was covering her lips. She was shocked to discover that her palm had an astonishing dark red color.

"Blood!" Xia Yue cried out in alarm, her face deathly pale as she said, "Princess, you … Coughing blood? "

Mu Qianxue was also shocked. She had frequently coughed in the past, but she had never had the symptoms of coughing up blood. Could it be … Had his illness worsened?

"What should we do? "What should we do?" Xia Yue panicked and didn't know what to do. She spun around a few times before finally regaining her composure. "This servant will go find the prince right now and have him call the imperial physician."

"You're not allowed to go!" Mu Qianxue hurriedly called out to her, "You're not allowed to tell this matter to your highness!" Now that there were so many things happening and they were at a critical juncture, she didn't want Dongfang Gu to distract her.

"But you're already coughing up blood, how can you still hide it from your highness? Your servant has always advised you not to be too tired. Even if you did not listen, it would have been fine. What should we do now?" As she spoke, Xia Yue couldn't help but tear up, her face full of worry.

"It's only coughing up blood. It might not be a serious illness. Don't scare yourself." Mu Qianxue clenched her fists tightly and forced herself up as she said, "Come, help me return to my manor." After saying that, she continued, "Remember, don't tell anyone about what happened just now, especially the prince."

Xia Yue could only helplessly agree. "Then what about the imperial physician?"

Mu Qianxue endured the dizziness in her head. "There are still many doctors with superb medical skills in the city. You can go and invite one of them over."

"But …" Without waiting for Xia Yue to object, Mu Qianxue resolutely said, "Do as I say!"

"Yes." Xia Yue helplessly replied. Just as she was about to help her leave, there was suddenly a wave of noise from next door, accompanied by a woman's scolding.

This teahouse was the same as the Eight Immortals Residence. The private rooms were separated by a screen and did not disturb each other, except for the sound.

"I recognize you, you're big brother Yang's maid! How dare you be disrespectful to me! Let go of me right now!" This familiar voice caused Xia Yue to raise her eyebrows. Why was she here?

Before he could finish his thought, he saw 19 people escorting a furious Shen Xijun to walk around the screen and coldly said, "She was hiding next door to eavesdrop on your conversation with the West Chu Envoy."

When the struggling Shen Xijun heard these words, she immediately said, "Bullsh * t, I'm not eavesdropping on your words."

Nineteen sneered: "Since there isn't any, why would Zong Ji come here? And why is she sitting next to the princess' seat? Could it be a coincidence?"

"Why should I tell you!?" Shen Xijun turned around and fiercely glared at Nineteen. She berated him, "If you still don't let go, don't blame me for being impolite."

Nineteen completely ignored her threat and said to Mu Qianxue, "She followed Emissary Xi Chu here. She should have heard all of those words just now. Do you want to punish her?"

For the god's opportunity camp that was above all laws, unless the entire Wei family joined forces, they would not even care about them.

When Shen Xijun heard the killing intent in the nineteen words, she shuddered and said with a trembling voice, "You … What do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't mess around, or your parents will still … Even the empress dowager wouldn't let you off! " At this point, no matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Nineteen was definitely not an ordinary maid.

"Let her go." Shen Xijun, having gained her freedom, hurriedly retreated a few steps. With her back leaning against the screen, she stared at Mu Qianxue and the others with fear and vigilance. Both of her wrists were clearly marked with a bruise on them.

Seeing her current state, Mu Qianxue faintly smiled. After the waiter had made tea once again, she said, "It's been a long time since I've seen my little sister. Since we've already met, why not sit down and have a cup of tea?"

How could Shen Xijun be in the mood to drink tea at this moment? She cautiously asked, "What do you want?"

Mu Qianxue was a little tired from standing, she supported Xia Yue's hand and returned to her chair, lifting her eyes and laughing, "I should be the one asking questions to Zong Ji, why are you following Emissary Xi Chu?"

Shen Xijun turned her face away and said, "Who said that I would follow him? It was just a coincidence that I ended up following the same path."

Xia Yue rolled her eyes and wisely said: "Yeah, coincidentally walked the same path, coincidentally entered the same teahouse, and coincidentally sat next door; there are really many 'coincidences' with Zong Ji."

Shen Xijun was furious that she got beaten up. She said coldly, "Then what about you guys, don't tell me that 'coincidentally' met the West Chu messenger."

Mu Qianxue took a sip of the fragrant tea and said with a smile, "This matter is indeed not a coincidence. I know that this is a path that must be taken to return to the relay station from Zhaoming Palace, so we are waiting here."

Seeing that she admitted it, Shen Xijun's expression turned even colder. "You're quite bold to actually collude with the emissary and deceive His Majesty and the empress dowager. It's a pity that there's no wall in this world that doesn't leak out."

Mu Qianxue stopped Xia Yue from speaking and calmly asked, "So you're planning to tell this matter to His Majesty?"

Hearing those words, Shen Xijun sneered repeatedly. "What, you still want me to keep this a secret for you?" Her beautiful smile was filled with sharp hatred. If it wasn't for this woman, then why would Big Brother Qu refuse to let her stay a thousand miles away? He wouldn't even allow her to take a single step into King Rui's Estate!

Mu Qianxue lowered her head and smiled, "Zong Ji hates me so much, so why would she be willing to help me keep this a secret? Zong Ji did not even care about King Rui's life? "

Shen Xijun's expression froze and asked with furrowed brows, "What do you mean?"

"Zong Ji knows best what King Rui's thoughts are. If I were to be blamed by His Majesty for this, he would definitely protect me. When that happens, it won't be me, but King Rui!"

Shen Xijun held in the throbbing pain in her chest and said stubbornly, "You don't have to use that to fool me. I, Shen Shou-gege, wouldn't do that."
