After Mu Nanxi finished everything, he returned to the palace leisurely.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the stone bricks of the palace.
When the guard in front of the door saw his master, he immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully to her, saying in a low voice: "Princess, the eldest lady has been waiting in the mansion for two hours and asked three times when you will be back."
Mu Nanxi nodded in agreement, without any intention of speeding up the pace because the guests had been waiting for a long time.
Before entering the front hall, Mu Nanxi felt a strange atmosphere from a distance.
As far as she could see, Mu Liu was sitting upright, while Mu Wanjing lowered her head and said nothing, her cloak and hat covering her tightly.
The two people sat obediently where the guests should sit, instead of sitting on the main seat like they did this morning.
When Mu Wanjing heard the footsteps, she immediately raised her head.
When their eyes met, Mu Wanjing stood up from her chair almost instantly.
But she seemed to have thought of something, and glanced at the female envoy in the palace, taking into account her identity, she sat back down.
Mu Nanxi walked past the two of them, looking out of the corner of her eye at their unwilling but helpless expressions, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up with a hint of ridicule.
She sat in the main seat and lightly glanced at the people in front of her.
"You all stand down," Mu Nanxi ordered softly.
"yes."
The female envoys left in response, and there were only three of them left in the palace.
Mu Wanjing slowly raised her head, her eyes sparkling with an undetectable sparkle.
She bit her lower lip lightly, trying to suppress her inner pride, and stepped forward to stand in front of Mu Nanxi.
Her hands were clenched into fists, and her nails dug into her flesh, causing a stinging sensation.
Mu Nanxi sat on the red sandalwood chair with a contemptuous smile on her lips.
She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking at Mu Wanjing with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
Mu Wanjing took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. She understood that at this moment, she was like a beggar, begging for Mu Nanxi's charity.
She suppressed the humiliation in her heart and tried to make her voice sound calm and firm, "Please give me the antidote, princess."
Mu Nanxi tilted her head slightly, with a trace of doubt in her eyes. She chuckled and said, "Is this how my sister asks for help?" There was a hint of ridicule and provocation in her voice.
Mu Wanjing raised her head and looked at Mu Nanxi.
There was a stubbornness in her eyes.
But after a moment, she still put on a seemingly meek smile, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "What do you want the princess to do with me?"
Mu Nanxi put down the teacup in her hand, stood up, and walked to Mu Wanjing.
She looked down at Mu Wanjing, with an undeniable coldness in her voice: "I am the Princess of Zhenbei. Even if you want to kneel down and bow down, it is still appropriate to kowtow three times."
After hearing this, Mu Liu, who had been silent until now, stood up and protected Mu Wanjing behind her.
She glared at Mu Nanxi angrily and threatened: "Don't bully others too much! Just because your despicable mother is not in our hands now, it doesn't mean we can't take her back to the Jingguo Palace!"
Mu Liu didn't know that Mu Nanxi had fled with Chu Ning, and she didn't know that Chu Ning died in Youzhou. She thought she had control over Mu Nanxi's lifeline.
When Mu Nanxi heard these words, her eyes instantly became as cold as iron.
She sneered, not showing too many emotional fluctuations, but the anger in her heart became stronger.
Her mother had already lost her life because of the schemes of these despicable people. It was a kindness for her to immediately end this vicious-minded woman without showing any effort.
But this vicious woman actually wants to use her mother to threaten her?
"Why are you laughing!" Mu Liu was panicked by her sight and asked with a cold face.
Mu Nanxi turned around and sat back in the main seat, "The smiling lady of Duke Jingguo's palace can only act like a clown at this time, making unnecessary noises in front of me."
She looked down at the Mu Liu family and her daughter, the mockery in her eyes undisguised.
Mu Wanjing seemed to be mentally prepared, stretched out her hand to push Mu Liu away, and knelt down in front of Mu Nanxi with a plop.
Mu Liu reached out to help her, but Mu Wanjing threw her away.
"Please give me the antidote, Princess!" After Mu Wanjing said this, she kowtowed three times in a row.
Mu Liu stood aside, feeling heartbroken.
Mu Nanxi watched coldly.
Mu Wanjing provoked her over and over again, and even wanted to kill her. Now she had taught Mu Wanjing some lessons.
Mu Qing and Mu Liu's sins were serious, but Mu Wanjing was only half a child, so she was taught that if she behaved well in the future, she would not make things difficult for her.
She casually threw the prescription she had prepared in front of Mu Wanjing.
"Just find any pharmacy to get some medicine, and you'll be fine after drinking it for seven days." Mu Nanxi said calmly.
Mu Wanjing seemed to have received a life-saving straw. She grabbed the prescription and held it tightly in her hand.
She got up from the ground and strode away without looking back.
Mrs. Mu Liu straightened her clothes and walked out of the front hall calmly, leaving the palace...
