"Thank you, Princess Chen, for your concern." The corner of Imperial Concubine Mu's mouth rose before she turned around and continued walking. She was only ten steps away from the Red Plum Garden and had lost her chance.
Of course, Imperial Concubine Mu didn't have a chance, but that didn't mean someone didn't have a chance.
A harmless smile hung on Chu Moxi's face. Suddenly, a strand of spirit energy shot out from her fingertip, but it wasn't towards the Imperial Concubine Mu. Instead, it shot toward the neck of the personal palace maid on the left side of Imperial Concubine Mu.
The palace maid suddenly felt a sharp pain in her ankle. Her legs became unsteady, and the limestone path beside the pool was slippery from the moisture before. At this moment, she was already staggering back a step. She would be fine if she stumbled, but for Imperial Concubine Mu, who was on her right, near the edge of the pool, it wouldn't be good.
She pushed him away, causing him to slip and fall unsteadily towards the pool.
Imperial Concubine Mu's body was delicate. Moreover, due to being caught unprepared, she didn't have the balance like Chu Moxi. Although the fluctuation of her spirit energy was not bad, but things had suddenly happened, causing her face to lose color. In the instant she fell into the pond, her body vibrated with spiritual energy. Following that, a faint spiritual energy muslin robe appeared on her body, and her body was also balanced.
It's actually the Spirit Origin Yarn Cloth. Haha, the realm of a Spirit Master! Imperial Concubine Mu's strength and talent were really strong! Although Imperial Concubine Mu did not use any of her strength as expected, her strength was exposed. This could be considered as an unexpected gain for Chu Moxi.
From Imperial Concubine Mu's point of view, it was likely that no one here could see her cultivation level. Thus, after she recovered from her shock, she didn't fly up to the pool on her own. Instead, she put away her spirit essence robe and let her body freely descend.
With a bang, a perfect splash of water rose into the air. Even a national diver would only be able to reach such a level.
Seeing her graceful posture of entering the water, Chu Moxi almost couldn't help but cheer.
Imperial Concubine Mu fell into the water. That palace maid was dumbfounded. She was the one who accidentally pushed Imperial Concubine Mu. Now that Imperial Concubine Mu fell into the water, she knew that she wouldn't be able to preserve her life.
The expression on Chu Moxi's face didn't change. She shot a look at Lian'er and Lian'er immediately shouted, "This isn't good! Imperial Concubine Mu has fallen into the water …"
At the same time, Chu Moxi made her move and directly knocked out that palace maid of Imperial Concubine Mu. She was prepared to let Lian'er take her away. At this moment, an anxious eunuch flew over. It was Dong Yun's turn.
It turned out that Dong Yun had followed them all the way to the imperial garden after he had found the Phoenix Xilai Palace.
Chu Moxi immediately tossed the palace maid in his hand to Dong Yun. "Take her away. Lian'er, you go with her. When the Imperial Palace is completely bustling with noise and excitement, all of you can let this palace maid out."
From the moment that Imperial Concubine Mu fell into the pond, she already knew what Imperial Concubine Mu was planning to do.
"Yes." Dong Yun and Lian'er were not idiots either. The moment they heard Chu Moxi's words, they immediately knew what was going on. He didn't say much and just left with the palace maid after a few leaps.
Just as they left, a large number of people had already arrived at the entrance to the imperial garden. Chu Mo Xi shouted loudly, "Imperial Concubine Mu has fallen into the water." At the same time, she carefully approached the pool and prepared to enter. With that anxious look, no one would suspect that they weren't blood sisters.
At this time, several imperial guards flew over. One of them pulled Chu Moxi back and threw her back onto the shore. The other two jumped into the pond to carry the still busy Imperial Concubine Mu up.
Imperial Concubine Mu had been in the water for such a long time, especially in the winter.
She was quickly sent back to the Phoenix Nest Palace. At the same time, the Monarch received the news and hurriedly brought a large number of imperial doctors with him to the Phoenix Nest Palace.
As for Chu Moxi, she seemed to have forgotten about it, but she didn't care in the slightest as she slowly walked through the Red Plum Garden. On the ground, there was a captivating red plum petal. It fell on the snow as if it was blood sprinkling on snow.
"Snowy, plum blossoms open branches, secretly send the fragrance into the snow. A strong wind is blowing snow, and people with iron bones are standing on top of the sky. " Chu Moxi's face bloomed into a smile. She finally understood why Chenchen did not touch Mu Hanyue.
"If I could, I wouldn't even touch him." Chu Moxi sighed in her heart.
Chu Moxi was in the Red Plum Garden admiring the plum blossoms, but right now, she was extremely busy in the Phoenix's Cry Palace.
At this time, the Emperor was also anxiously pacing up and down in the great hall of the Phoenix's Brothel, as people often went in and out of the palace.
Wasn't Chu Moxi unable to slip away at the beginning? He was still afraid of them finding out, so he hid. Then, he heard that Imperial Concubine Mu had fallen into the pond.
Isn't that a little too strange? He remembered that when he left, they were only a few meters away from the Red Plum Garden!
"How is it?" Resisting the questions in his heart and seeing Imperial Physician Mu walk out of Imperial Concubine Mu's room one by one, Mu Hanyue raised his head and asked.
"Reporting to the Monarch, Imperial Concubine Mu has been rescued. Because she was frightened, she needs some time to recuperate." Over ten imperial physicians knelt before the Monarch, all speaking with some excitement.
"Mm, take it. This sovereign will go see Imperial Concubine Mu. " She was the person involved, so she should know what was going on.
Mu Han Xiao strode into the room. He saw Imperial Concubine Mu lying on the bed with a deathly pale face. Her eyes were already opened, but they looked lifeless.
Two palace maids were covering her with quilts, and the room was burning with charcoal.
"Imperial Concubine Mu …" Mu Hanyi lightly called out, and his originally somewhat lifeless face turned to look at him. Afterwards, with a wail, he threw himself into Mu Hanyue's embrace.
"Don't cry. This Emperor is here." Mu Hanyi lightly patted the person in his embrace. Although she was a scheming imperial concubine, she was his woman after all. He still felt sorry for her.
"Monarch …" The cry was heart-wrenching and heartbreaking, causing her to feel heartache. Even Mu Hanyue's ice-cold heart ached from the cry.
"Good boy, this emperor is here." If you do not have this emperor's company when you go to the Red Plum Garden next time, you must be careful. Mu Hanyue lightly caressed the petite girl in his arms.
"Monarch, it's not that we lost our footing, it's that we were pushed down …" Imperial Concubine Mu's voice carried a trace of fear, as if she was still reminiscing about the situation back then.
"Who dares to praise your Imperial Consort?" Mu Hanyi's tone turned cold, as if he had already guessed the truth.
"Chenqie only felt a pushing force behind her back. Earlier, Chenqie only had Chenwangfei and her maid behind her back …" Imperial Concubine Mu's body shrunk as if she was recalling a memory she was very afraid of.
"Someone, go get the princess." Mu Han Xiao gave the order without hesitation.
Since it was the Crown Princess who did it, he could use this excuse to get rid of her. Just as a person wants to sleep, someone brings her a pillow.
Upon hearing the emperor's order, the imperial guards immediately began to move. Without using much strength, he found the drowsy Chu Mo Xi who was waiting for him in the Red Plum Garden.
"You're finally here? It's really slow! " After yawning ungracefully, Chu Moxi slowly stood up.
"Those imperial guards stared at Chu Moxi with some caution, afraid that she would run away." The Monarch ordered him to capture Princess Chen and go to the Phoenix Cry Palace to receive his punishment. "Don't even think about running away."
Chu Moxi rolled her eyes. A bunch of idiots. If she wanted to escape, would she obediently wait here?
"Someone, tie her up." Standing at the very front, the imperial guards glanced at Chu Moxi and waved their hands as they spoke.
"I can leave by myself." Chu Moxi's ice-cold eyes swept the surroundings once before finally landing on the imperial guards. The latter's eyes narrowed and her body started to tremble as well. The remaining people didn't dare to approach her anymore.
Then, Chu Moxie stomped her feet and the imperial guards followed obediently behind her. Like she wasn't the one who got caught, and she was the one who came to grab people.
Mu Han Xiao was currently sitting on the soft couch of the Phoenix Xilai Palace, while Imperial Concubine Mu was also lying on her right hand side with a pale face. Eunuch Liu was currently standing by the soft couch with his body bent. In the middle was a brazier, while two palace maids were burning charcoal.
"Reporting, we have caught the Crown Princess." A report came from the outside.
Mu Hanyi couldn't be bothered to speak and simply waved his hand. Eunuch Liu immediately shouted, "Bring the prisoner here!"
Chu Moxi, who was standing outside the palace, pursed his lips. Prisoner? Was he going to convict her now? Sorry to disappoint you later!
"You can go in." That imperial guard shrunk his neck back. He felt that this princess' eyes were very scary. He couldn't help but shiver.
Chu Moxi indifferently swept his eyes over them, then slowly walked into the Phoenix's Xi Palace like an arrogant peacock.
Directly in front of him sat a slender figure who looked a little like her Chenchen, but with a completely different aura.
One was an elegant block of ice while the other was a scheming Monarch. Would their auras be the same? Only a ghost would be able to see through the same thing!
Chu Moxi's eyes swept over them once, then he lost all interest in standing there.
"How dare you, Crown Princess Chen, not even kneel when you see the Monarch!" Seeing that Chu Mo Xi had not reacted for a long time after he had entered the palace, Eunuch Liu secretly rejoiced in his heart. He forcefully suppressed his joy and berated Chu Mo Xi harshly.
Eunuch Liu's voice made Mu Hanyue raise his head. His gaze landed on the relaxed Chu Moxi standing in the middle of the hall.
Previously, because he had only seen Chu Moxi from afar in the Imperial Garden, Mu Hanyue was afraid that he would be discovered. Thus, he immediately hid among the trees.
This was the first time Mu Hanyue saw Chu Moxi, and because of this first glance, he couldn't tear his eyes away.
Like a purple rose, her temperament was otherworldly. Her limpid eyes were clear as autumn water, her long eyelashes blinked, her nose was delicate, her red lips were crystal smooth, and her snow-white teeth were like pearls as they emitted a luster.
Her slim and delicate waist, as well as her jet-black hair that was as bright as ink, scattered around her waist. She was as beautiful as a fairy from a painting.
There was actually such a woman in the world!
"Cough, cough …" Imperial Concubine Mu coughed lightly as her expression turned ugly.
Why did the emperor lose his mind when he saw this slut? Imperial Concubine Mu's heart began to feel uneasy.
