Mu Lingfeng suddenly raised his head, and when he met Bai Su's cold gaze, the scene of Mu Xiaoshi kneeling on the ground yesterday, begging him to help her couldn't help but slip through his mind. He was completely stupefied.

Little Ten … He harmed Little Ten.

When Qin Xian heard about Mu Xiaoshi killing himself by consuming poison, he was stupefied.

If he hadn't known from Bai Su that the woman who saved his life last night was Mu Xiaoshi, he might have only felt a little pity.

But now, he already knew that Mu Xiaoshi had an unerasable relationship with him, and hearing her grievous news, he started to feel bad.

They rushed over to the palace, only to see the ashen-faced Mu Xiaoshi lying on the bed. Qin Xian's heart clenched in pain.

That feeling was as if a certain sleeping place in his body had been heavily beaten, awakened, and begun to hurt … More and more painful … He was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.

How could she die? How could he leave the world in such a determined way, after the part that had awakened him?

How can that be!

The zither strings could not accept this. He truly could not accept this.

"Mu Xiaoshi, are you making me remember this name this way?"

Qin Xian sat down on the side of the bed and reached out his hands to gently caress Mu Xiaoshi's face.

He had saved her twice, hugged her twice, and combined with the night before, he hadn't been able to take a good look at her face.

Was it too late?

On this day, two earth-shattering events happened to the zither.

Firstly, Crown Prince left the palace on his own, went to brothels, and was mysteriously attacked. Not only did the Crown Prince lose all face, he also lost the face of the entire imperial family.

The Xiqin Emperor was furious, he placed the Crown Prince under house arrest in the Eastern Palace, and ordered no one to visit or plead with him without his permission.

Second, the person with Beimu Kingdom who was going to choose the Crown Prince s to be his concubines,, had died in the palace, and like a thunderclap, he had shaken the entire Zither Capital, attracting the attention of the Xiqin Emperor.

Immediately, the Xiqin Emperor ordered the Xuan King Qin Xian to immediately investigate the whole situation, and called for the Beimu Kingdom envoys, Prince Jin and the Ninth Prince, Mu Zixuan, to meet them.

Due to the death of the Tenth Princess, the brotherly brother, Ninth Prince Mu Zixuan, was overly saddened, and thus allowed the Prince Xian to enter the palace to meet the Xiqin Emperor in his stead.

Inside the brilliant golden hall, a forty year old Xiqin Emperor was sitting high up on a chair.

The zither strings stood under the Xiqin Emperor's dragon table, their eyes drooping.

Although he had confirmed that Mu Xiaoshi was no longer around, he still didn't dare believe it.

How could he believe that the girl who had appeared in his life two days ago, who had turned into an antidote and saved him that night, had now turned into a cold corpse?

Mu Yuntian and Mu Lingfeng stood in the middle of the Main Hall, their expressions as tense as ever.

The Xiqin Emperor held the will left behind by Mu Xiaoshi. The more he read, the deeper his brows creased.

"According to the letter, this Tenth Princess has been bullied by this Crown Prince many times … Is that true? " Xiqin Emperor suddenly raised his head, his sharp gaze sweeping across the three people in the hall.

Mu Yuntian and Mu Lingfeng looked at each other, and the older Mu Yuntian represented Bei Mu, and spoke to the Xiqin Emperor: "Whether or not there is such a thing, the Emperor can seek confirmation from your Xuan King."

His tone was deep and stiff, as if Xiqin wasn't going to give Bei Mu a proper explanation and wouldn't give up.

Xiqin Emperor looked at the zither string.

He didn't even need to speak to know what he meant. He cupped his hands together and spoke respectfully and impartially: "Reporting to royal father, it is indeed true."

Xiqin Emperor's face darkened, "My son, please tell me. If it really is as Tenth Princess has said in his letter, we will definitely give Beimu Kingdom and Tenth Princess an explanation. "

The first few words were to the zither strings, but the last few words were clearly to Mu Yuntian and Mu Lingfeng.

"Yes." Qin Xian said, "That day, when I was ordered to welcome the envoys of Beimu Kingdom and Beimu Kingdom into the inn, not only did Crown Prince shock the two princesses, he even entered the palace in disguise in the evening, intending to commit misdeeds against Tenth Princess. Fortunately, he was met and stopped by this son of his, which resulted in a grave mistake.

Tenth Princess was benevolent, and did not pursue this matter to investigate into Crown Prince's misdeeds, and who knows … "

He paused for a moment, then continued: "As for the words in Tenth Princess's letter, 'over and over again', I have been taken advantage of by Crown Prince, and this son does not know the truth, so I do not dare to make wild guesses."

This matter was revealed through the zither string. The credibility of it was too high.

After Xiqin Emperor heard it, his face immediately flushed red. He smacked the armrest of the dragon throne with his palm: "Bastard!"

It was very obvious that he did not expect the Crown Prince to actually do such a thing.

Originally, the matter of Crown Prince secretly leaving the palace to visit a brothel, to the point of being plotted against and hung on the city walls as an example to the masses, had caused the entire imperial family to lose face.

And now, he had even been accused of slandering the princess of another country, causing others to commit suicide.

"Unfilial son!" This is truly a reverse... "Son!" Xiqin Emperor was angered to the point of covering his chest with his hands, "Someone come, pass down our order! Immediately, the position of Crown Prince will be abolished! "

After exiting the Hall of Golden Chimes, Mu Yuntian stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at the silent Mu Lingfeng.

After crippling Crown Prince, she will no longer have to worry about marrying people he hates. Are you still satisfied? " Mu Yuntian's tone was filled with ridicule, "Unfortunately, she's already dead."

This hint of sarcasm was exactly the same as when Bai Su mocked him.

Mu Lingfeng lifted his head, and upon coming into contact with Mu Yuntian's gaze, his entire person froze.

It turned out that not only was his tone the same, even his clear and cold gaze was the same.

"What are you trying to say?" Mu Lingfeng was very angry.

He didn't know if he was angry at Mu Yuntian's mockery, or if he was angry at him, for speaking with the same tone and attitude as Bai Su.

In these past few days of interaction, Mu Lingfeng had felt that Mu Yuntian and him had a shocking tacit understanding in many places.

Without a doubt, this feeling made him very, very unhappy.

However, he also felt very weak, very weak.

Although Bai Su didn't hate him as much as when he first left, he was still as cold and stingy as ever.

Even if it was just a good expression, it would still be difficult.

In her heart, it was as if he didn't exist.

This made him feel very helpless and anxious.

Sometimes, Mu Lingfeng even thought that even if Bai Su hated him the same way she hated him back then, it would still be better than if she didn't hate him as much as she was now.

At least, it was as Bai Su had said, the prerequisite for hating someone was that there was love in one's heart.

She had no love for him, so how could she hate him?

But before, she had hated him. Did that mean she had once loved him?

Since he had once loved her, could he possibly be able to recover that love with a little more effort?

Mu Lingfeng didn't know, and didn't dare be sure.

All this while, he had always been so proud and confident. However, ever since he met Bai Su, his pride and confidence had been reduced to nothing.
