"Ah?"
Mu Xing exclaimed, wondering why her mother hadn't told her that the Crown Prince possessed such great abilities. Mu Xing looked utterly confused. "Then why didn't Mother tell me?"
Upon hearing her plaintive tone, Cui'er, fearing that Mu Xing's young heart might harbor resentment towards her mistress, quickly interjected.
"Actually, your mother had her reasons for acting that way. Your father, the Emperor, didn't want you back then and sent someone to administer medication to abort you. Fortunately, your mother discovered it. To protect you, she used her sword to cut open her own thigh, creating a false appearance to deceive the Emperor. Later, she employed a trick of substitution, taking you away from the palace. Can you imagine her wanting you to acknowledge this Emperor?"
Mu Xing's young mind was, for the first time, profoundly shaken.
Though she had always loved her mother, she now felt an inexplicable tremor. Her mother loved her so much. No wonder she didn't want her to be the Crown Princess.
Then she wouldn't be the Crown Princess. Her little heart made a firm decision. But thinking about that fellow called "Father Emperor" who had tried to abort her.
Smoke immediately billowed from Mu Xing's head, and fury pulsed around her. She rushed out arrogantly. Cui'er shouted after her.
"It's nothing. Today, this young master is very unhappy and wants to find someone to vent on."
Leaving her words far behind, Cui'er stood in the room, smiling. "Mistress, I hope you can forgive me for doing this.
I just wish for you to return to the capital. You aren't truly happy here. Although you have freedom, if the Emperor loved you, he would grant you ample freedom even within the palace."
Mu Xing soon found Feng Xie and the other two. The trio were leisurely wandering around the outer perimeter of Xiaoyao Island. Seeing the man who wanted to kill her, Mu Xing coldly commanded, "Stop."
Feng Xie's smile widened upon hearing his voice. He wondered what method Cui'er had used to persuade Mu Xing to come and see him. The setting sun cast a soft, golden hue, gently illuminating his face.
A gentle, pervasive smile graced his lips, and his brilliant eyes gazed at Mu Xing, filled with an unshakeable love. Unfortunately, the young one had already firmly decided he was the villain who wanted to kill him.
Therefore, he charged forward swiftly, accompanied by fierce, cold words.
"You detestable villain! You actually tried to kill me, causing Mother to cut her own thigh! Don't think I'll ever be the Crown Prince. Get out of Xiaoyao!" xxs壹贰
As Mu Xing finished her fierce words, Feng Xie felt his body go numb, his head growing dizzy. However, he understood one thing: this brat had poisoned him.
Good job, Cui'er, for framing him like this. She must have told Mu Xing about the incident where medication was administered back then.
But thinking of how Cui'er had cut her thigh to create the illusion of a miscarriage that year, his heart ached terribly, wracked by spasms. Soon, his vision went black, and he collapsed.
Seeing the Emperor's pale face and unconscious state, with cold sweat pouring from him and no sign of awareness, Ri Ying and Yue Ying immediately knew that the Crown Prince had poisoned the Emperor.
Heavens, this was a grave offense! How could the Crown Prince do such a thing? Even though he was the Crown Prince, the Emperor's life was paramount at this moment. Ri Ying immediately spoke sternly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please quickly administer the antidote to the Emperor. If the Emperor meets with misfortune, many people will suffer."
"Dream on," Mu Xing gnashed his teeth fiercely. This man had nearly killed him and also caused his mother suffering, so he would never give him the antidote.
Upon hearing Mu Xing's words, Ri Ying's expression changed. "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you do not provide the antidote, do not blame me for being impolite."
"How dare you! If you dare touch me, you will end up like this man. Don't you believe it? Just try." Mu Xing arrogantly warned Ri Ying, displaying the regal dominance of royalty at such a young age, with an air of supreme arrogance.
"You?" Ri Ying and Yue Ying became anxious. Their hearts surged with anger. All of this was caused by Cui'er. If the Emperor met with misfortune, they would skin her alive.
Suddenly, voices were heard from a distance. It turned out Hong Xiu had arrived with people. Upon seeing that Mu Xing had poisoned the Emperor into unconsciousness, she was immediately greatly alarmed.
From then on, everyone on Xiaoyao Island knew that the Emperor had come to Xiaoyao Island. Panic spread, and people wondered what the Emperor was doing on Xiaoyao Island.
Later, they learned that their楼主 (Mistress/Head) was the current Empress. They were astonished, feeling both admiration and trepidation. Everything impossible in the world seemed to happen to their楼主.
Everything that followed, until Cui'er hurried in to report, "Mistress, this is bad! Something has happened. Mu Xing has poisoned the Emperor into unconsciousness."
"What?" Liu Liu's voice lost its steadiness, her face filled with icy fury. How could Mu Xing go and provoke that man again, and even poison him into unconsciousness? This brat was becoming more and more excessive.
Immediately, an aura of coldness enveloped her, and she swiftly left the study. Cui'er called out from behind her, "Where is the Emperor's room in Duanmu's residence?"
Liu Liu had already vanished. That Emperor was the most noble person in the world, and many people's hopes rested on him. Now that Mu Xing had poisoned the Emperor into unconsciousness, what was to be done? The more she thought about it, the darker her expression became.
By the time she entered the courtyard where Duanmu resided, she had turned into a block of ice. Many people stood in the courtyard, and they all called out, "楼主!"
Their gazes were filled with respect and awe. Liu Liu paid no attention to the meaning behind their looks.
Entering the bedroom, she saw a crowd of people standing by the bed. Nangong Yue was taking the Emperor's pulse by the bed. She looked up and saw Liu Liu, nodding her head, and said with a helpless tone.
"This medicine seems to have been developed by Mu Xing himself, so I don't know its exact composition. However, the Emperor's heart is beating very fast, and his whole body is numb. It would be best to administer the antidote to the Emperor as soon as possible, otherwise, it might affect his brain, and he could end up becoming foolish or something."
Nangong Yue spoke with worry. She didn't understand why Mu Xing hated Feng Xie so much. Feng Xie, an Emperor, being poisoned by his own son, must have been agonizing for him.
"Where is he?"
Liu Liu turned around with a stern face. Not seeing Mu Xing's shadow, she immediately ordered Zhi Gu, "Take a few people to find him and tell him to come and see me immediately."
Before Zhi Gu could respond, Cui'er had already led Mu Xing in. Mu Xing, seeing his mother's livid face, trembled and hid behind Cui'er.
However, a fierce glint flashed in his bright eyes, and he swept a cold glance at the man on the bed, showing no remorse. Seeing his current demeanor, Liu Liu coldly commanded, "Kneel."
At this moment, no one dared to speak because the楼主 was furious. When she was furious, no one speaking would be of any use; it would only escalate the situation.
Thus, in the spacious bedroom, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard. Little Mu Xing, seeing his mother so angry that her face had turned green, no longer dared to hide behind Aunt Cui. He slowly walked out and slowly knelt down.
Liu Liu gazed coldly at her son. Although she usually indulged him, she had her principles and could not indulge her son in harming others. "Why did you poison him? Didn't I remind you repeatedly not to casually administer medicine to people? Where is the antidote?"
"He tried to harm me back then, and he also made Mother suffer, so I wanted to poison him to death,"
Little Mu Xing stated matter-of-factly. He was five years old and still unfamiliar with the term "father," so he didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions. Moreover, he would not give this man the antidote, for he had caused his mother suffering.
