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

Chapter 184: In what capacity does Lord Gu want to question me?

Order?

deliver?

The smile on Shen Muxi's lips suddenly appeared and disappeared in an instant.

She stood up with a look of indignation on her face and held her injured hand out to Fu Yongxu. "Second Princess, you are truly very polite. I'm kindly giving you acupuncture to ease your pain, and all you ask is for me to give you gifts?"

Du Juan raised her head and angrily shouted, "How dare you! Who allowed you to not kneel before the princess and even speak to her like that?"

The Jinwu Guards outside the house heard the noise inside, and they all drew their weapons and surrounded the entire bedroom.

Shen Muxi's face changed drastically.

Look at Fu Yongxu again.

"What does this mean, Second Princess?"

Fu Yongxu looked at Shen Muxi with a smug look on her face. "You're just a Nanyuan person. How dare you challenge me in my Beichen territory?"

Perhaps it was because of the blood loss caused by the injections Shen Muxi had just given her, Fu Yongxu now felt that his energy and spirit had suddenly risen.

Even the internal organs that were aching slightly no longer hurt.

Xia Chan, who had been isolated from the outside world since entering the inner room of the princess's bedroom, wanted to break in to protect his master, but was stopped by the guards outside.

"Princess..."

Because of her anxiety, her voice was a little tearful.

Fu Yongxu immediately recognized Xia Chan as the maid who had dared to openly snatch the whip from her hand a few days ago.

When she took away the whip, the maid had a cold and ruthless look on her face.

I didn't expect that this arrogant maid would also feel anxious and helpless today.

Fu Yongxu felt a burst of joy in her heart.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Hearing Shen Muxi's soothing words in front of him, Fu Yongxu immediately turned his attention back to her.

When meeting her gaze, Fu Yongxu clearly saw the determination in Shen Muxi's eyes.

As expected, the next moment, she simply refused firmly, "Impossible."

She looked at Shen Muxi in disbelief.

"what?"

In the past, when other people saw her outside, they would want to avoid her and stay away from her.

If she caught me, I wouldn't dare talk to her in that tone.

Not to mention that the outside is now surrounded by Jinwu Guards.

Fu Yongxu's first thought was that she had misheard.

The maid in the room had already stepped forward and forced Shen Muxi to her knees when she rejected Fu Yongxu.

But even when she was pushed to the ground by the maid, her face remained calm, as if she was certain that Fu Yongxu would not dare to do anything to her.

Fu Yongxu could even see mockery in her eyes.

"I say, forget it! If you really could touch me, you would have done it a few days ago. Why would you bother asking me to come all this way?"

"you..."

Shen Muxi was right.

Fu Yongxu really couldn't do anything to her in the palace because of her identity.

In a blink of an eye, Xia Chan was seen outside the house looking at Shen Muxi worriedly. Her face, which had become a little distorted due to anger and embarrassment, was once again stained with a cold smile.

"I know what you're thinking. You're simply wondering if your identity as Nanyuan's Crown Princess will be of any use to me. Indeed, since you're Nanyuan's Crown Princess, I can't touch you. However, I do have the ability to deal with a stubborn slave."

After saying that, Fu Yongxu shouted outside, "Open her mouth and twist her tongue for me."

Shen Muxi's expression changed immediately, "You dare?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Fu Yongxu sat leisurely on the bed.

Although my fingertips still felt a dull pain from when they were bleeding.

But compared to the past few days when she had difficulty breathing, she now feels in a very good mental state.

He could even get out of bed and whip his horse for a few laps.

When she looked down and saw Shen Muxi still kneeling on the ground and looking at her with an indignant expression, she felt even happier.

He raised his voice and said, "Why don't you drag that maid away?"

The guards knew Shen Muxi's identity.

Even though Fu Yongxu kept calling out, they could only restrain Xia Chan's movements and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Fu Yongxu was filled with anger and was about to speak again.

An old woman stumbled in from outside.

"Princess, Prince Rong is here."

Prince Rong?

Gu Shi?

Fu Yongxu's expression changed slightly.

"Stop him."

She knew that Gu Shi had been scolded in the court some time ago.

But a person who can come back after being exiled is definitely not an easy person to deal with.

She is just domineering, not stupid.

Even though she looked down on others, it didn't mean she was going to cause trouble.

The last time she showed up at the palace and offered him conditions, it was only because she wanted to take the opportunity to see Murong Jingyan.

Unexpectedly, the main bedroom was so tightly guarded that she couldn't even get close to it.

When he was leaving, he saw Gu Shi talking to the Crown Princess Nanyuan. He guessed that Gu Shi liked the Crown Princess Nanyuan, and suddenly came up with a plan.

"Princess, I can't stop you."

The crying voice of the old woman who brought the news brought Fu Yongxu back to her senses.

The next moment, Gu Shi's voice came from outside.

"If the princess is determined to embarrass the Crown Princess Nanyuan, I am not afraid to go before the Emperor with her to confront her."

This speed.

It sounded like a call coming in.

Gu Shi's actions once again refreshed Fu Yongxu's cognition.

In Fu Yongxu's impression, Gu Shi has always been good at forbearance.

Even after returning, when faced with all kinds of unbearable rumors in the court, he just smiled it off.

Now, for the sake of Crown Princess Nanyuan, he even tore off his disguise...

Fu Yongxu looked outside the house with a forced smile.

"Prince Rong is so arrogant that he dares to come to me without permission. Aren't you afraid that I will ask my father to punish you?"

Gu Shi bowed towards the palace and said, "Your Majesty is wise and will surely distinguish right from wrong."

In other words, even if he had to enter the palace, he would take her away today.

Fu Yongxu got out of bed, put on her clothes, and walked to the door to confront Gu Shi. "You dare?"

"Princess, please try."

Gu Shi took a step back and high-fived.

The guards he brought with him all showed their swords.

Seeing this, the Jinwu Guards, who had been merely pretending to confront each other, also drew their weapons.

Shen Muxi, who had been following behind Fu Yongxu without saying a word, seemed to be afraid of making things worse, and hurriedly said, "Prince Rong, please go back. The princess just asked me to come and reminisce about the past, and there is no other intention."

Fu Yongxu glanced at Shen Muxi in surprise, and quickly turned her attention to Gu Shi.

"Gu Shi, did you hear me? I just asked her to come over to reminisce about the past. You're making such a fuss."

She looked like she was enjoying a good show, and smiled playfully at Shen Muxi, "It's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's hard to find a lover. Could it be that Princess Nanyuan really has the heart to let Prince Rong be heartbroken and worried for you, or even become my enemy?"

"Princess, please stop talking nonsense. I, the Crown Princess, am already His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Muxi seemed to have suffered great humiliation and glared at Fu Yongxu angrily.

Fu Yongxu raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Shi, as if to say: Look, the Crown Princess Nanyuan that you have been thinking about doesn't like you at all.

The color on Gu Shi's face faded away, and he looked at Shen Muxi with a forbearing look, as if he wanted to persuade Shen Muxi, "Crown Princess..."

"Alright," Fu Yongxu waved her hand and looked at Shen Muxi with a magnanimous expression, "Since you are still a person who knows the current situation, you can leave as long as you leave the Hundred Years of Life Extension Pill."

This time, Shen Muxi did not deny the existence of the Hundred Years Longevity Pill. "That was given to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's impossible."

Fu Yongxu sneered, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty wine."

Gu Shi took a step forward and said in a warning tone, "Princess."

"Gu Shi," Fu Yongxu said with a threatening smile, "You can protect her for a while today, but if I ask her to come next time, are you sure you can still protect her?"

Gu Shi clenched his hands into fists.

It seems like he is making some difficult decision.

After a while, he looked at Shen Muxi again, with pleading in his eyes, "Crown Princess, maybe the princess really needs that 100-year-old life-extending pill, why not..."

"impossible."

Shen Muxi refused without thinking.

"Then there's nothing more to say."

Fu Yongxu's face turned stern. "Drag that maid away and beat her to death with sticks."

Shen Muxi hurried forward and tried to grab Xia Chan, but was stopped by the Jinwu Guards.

She looked at Fu Yongxu anxiously, "Princess, this is my person."

"There is no one I cannot keep who I want to keep."

She had a tough attitude.

It seemed that the Jinwu Guards were about to catch Xia Chan and drag him away.

Shen Muxi was anxious, "Wait a minute."

The Jinwu Guards stopped.

Fu Yongxu shouted angrily, "She asked you to wait, and you waited? What are you doing?"

"If I give you the Hundred-Year Longevity Pill, will you let Xia Chan go?" Shen Muxi's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she felt very sorry for Xia Chan.

Fu Yongxu raised her eyebrows with a half-smile, "How do I know that what you gave me is the real longevity elixir?"

For her, the initiative is now in her hands.

As long as she doesn't allow it, Shen Muxi will not only give her the longevity elixir, but even her maid will die here.

"These days, Her Royal Highness should have a doctor or imperial physician here. Anyone who has read the old recipes in the "Ancient Books of the Royal Clan" should know whether it is a longevity pill."

Shen Muxi tried his best to suppress his panic and tried hard to prove himself to Fu Yongxu.

Fu Yongxu looked at her doubtfully.

Du Juan immediately instructed the guard closest to her, "Please invite the doctors and imperial physicians who are staying at the mansion recently."

Not long after.

Two old doctors with gray hair and beards and another imperial physician from the palace were brought over.

Shen Muxi took out a small brocade box the size of a finger from her personal sachet and opened it.

The rich medicinal aroma, bitter with a hint of sweetness, quickly filled the room.

Several doctors and imperial physicians immediately surrounded him.

One of the old doctors even blushed with excitement.

"Bitter then sweet, sweet with bitterness, something within nothing, nothing within something, this is..."

Another old doctor's eyes were also red with excitement. "When I was young, I had the opportunity to meet the wandering doctor Bu. I was fortunate to see him use the Hundred Years Longevity Pill to save a woodcutter who had died of a poison.

I never thought that I would be able to see a miracle drug in my lifetime. God has been very kind to me, very kind..."

The imperial physician who came out of the palace couldn't help but come closer to Shen Muxi when he saw the two doctors so excited.

"I never thought... this 100-year life-extending pill actually existed."

He looked at the wax pill in Shen Muxi's hand with a burning gaze, "I wonder if Princess Consort could give me some so that I can take it back to the Imperial Hospital for a thorough study?"

Fu Yongxu immediately spoke up to stop them, "What are you doing? Did you ask for my permission before looking at this longevity pill?"

Hear her voice.

The doctors looked as if they had just woken up from a dream, and the blood drained from their faces.

Only then did Shen Muxi hand the wax ball to Fu Yongxu.

Fu Yongxu took a deep breath quietly and felt the smell of the medicine became stronger.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but after the longevity pill came close to her, she felt that her mental state suddenly became much better.

"Princess, are you willing to keep your word?" Shen Muxi looked at Fu Yongxu without blinking.

Fu Yongxu was about to taunt her when she heard Shen Muxi continue, "I know that the princess not only needs my longevity pill now, but also wants to prevent me from returning.

However, the usage and dosage of this pill are extremely particular. If you don’t have my method, the longevity pill will turn into a life-threatening pill at any time.”

Fu Yongxu put the wax ball into her sleeve pocket, regardless of the fact that it was still stained with Shen Muxi's blood.

"Once something has come into my hands, there's no reason for me to ask you to take it back."

If Shen Muxi was just a commoner or the daughter of a high-ranking official, she might have directly forced her and her maid to stay in the Second Princess's Mansion forever to serve as fertilizer for the flowers.

But she happened to be the Crown Princess of Nanyuan.

There was also another person, Gu Shi, who came out to disrupt the situation.

Even though she was unwilling, Fu Yongxu had no choice but to let Shen Muxi take Xia Chan away.

Just stepped out of the princess's mansion.

Shen Muxi was dragged by Gu Shi into the dark alley.

Xia Chan wanted to follow, but was stopped by the guards brought by Gu Shi.

In a dark alley.

Gu Shi trapped Shen Muxi in a corner and advanced on her.

In the dim alley, there is a mixture of all kinds of strange smells.

When Gu Shi approached her, the cool sandalwood fragrance on his body was particularly clear.

With the warmth in him.

In the scorching summer, Shen Muxi felt particularly irritable.

She wants to leave.

Gu Shi followed closely and blocked her way.

"What do you want?"

Gu Shi looked at her nervously, "Do you know that if I don't arrive in time today, you will be killed on the spot?"

"That's my business. I'm the Crown Princess of Nanyuan. What identity do you have to question me, Lord Gu?"

Shen Muxi's voice rose a little.

The tone was excited.

Gu Shi seemed to be struck all of a sudden.

The originally tense muscles seemed to have all their energy drained away.

The whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dejection.

"I..."

"Gu Shi, if you want to make amends, you shouldn't keep pestering me."

Shen Muxi ruthlessly interrupted his so-called affectionate confession.

Gu Shi became even more agitated. "After all, you still won't forgive me. I just made a mistake that most men would make. Why can't you forgive me?"

Besides, aren’t you and Xiaoxiao doing fine now?

Gu Shi did not say the latter sentence in front of Shen Muxi.

He was still afraid that Shen Muxi would still be brooding over what happened in the past.

But the facts prove it.

Even if he hadn't said those words, Shen Muxi didn't intend to give him any more time alone.

"Save these words for when you get to hell and tell them to the ghosts."

The voice just fell.

A strange fragrance wafts into the air.

Gu Shi fell to the ground, his whole body limp. He didn't even have the strength to open his eyes and watch Shen Muxi walk away.

Before he lost consciousness, his mind was filled with—

She has the muscle softening powder, which means she can protect herself in the princess's mansion.

Then why is she so cowardly in front of the second princess?
