I play the role of Jiajing in Zongwu: What crime have I committed?

"Brother Lin Shu!"

She could no longer hold back and suddenly threw herself into Mei Changsu's arms.

Mei Changsu staggered from the impact, but still managed to catch her steadily.

Princess Nihuang hugged Mei Changsu tightly, looked up with tearful eyes, and said in a choked voice.

"I'm getting married in a few days."

"I don't want to regret it for the rest of my life. Will you take me with you?"

"If you're willing to take me with you, I'm willing to give up my title as a princess and abandon the Mu Prince's mansion."

"I'll abandon everything in this world and wander the world with you!"

Mei Changsu was stunned upon hearing this, and he looked at the woman he deeply loved in front of him.

He then slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Nihuang's cheek to wipe away her tears.

"sorry!"

Before she could finish speaking, Princess Nihuang's tears flowed again as she tightly embraced Mei Changsu.

"Why, why do you have to watch me marry someone else when you're still alive!"

Mei Changsu slowly closed his eyes, letting Nihuang's tears soak his clothes.

He naturally felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He longed to take her away, but he knew he couldn't.

Firstly, if Nihuang chooses to elope, it will inevitably harm the entire Mu family.

Secondly, the blood feud of the Chiyan Army remains unresolved, the 70,000 loyal souls have not yet been avenged, and there are still those who sacrificed themselves to help him…

How could Mei Changsu simply walk away like this!

However, none of them noticed that it was on an ancient locust tree not far from the cabin.

A dark shadow was faintly visible through the dense foliage.

It was Zhu Shou.

At that moment, he was peering intently through the crack at the two people embracing inside the room.

Meanwhile, in the Wanshou Palace, Zhu Houcong's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Mei Changsu, I've finally found you. It wasn't for nothing that I've been keeping an eye on Princess Nihuang for so long."

His eyes gleamed with excitement.

Recalling the scene when Princess Nihuang saved people that day, a hint of anger flashed in Zhu Houcong's eyes.

That girl must have used some kind of trick to fool him.

She thought Mei Changsu was hidden in the Mu Prince's mansion.

So these days, he controlled Zhu Shou to monitor the Mu Prince's mansion day and night, but he still got nothing.

Unexpectedly, Mei Changsu was moved to this inconspicuous house.

Now that we've found it, things will be much easier!

Chapter 201 begins: No mercy shown.

Seeing the two people in the room so affectionate, Zhu Shou casually took out a small bottle from his pocket.

Inside was exactly what I love: a piece of firewood.

wrong!

It is the entanglement of love.

Not long after, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open, and Nihuang ran out of the house crying.

She had always known that ever since Mei Changsu narrowly escaped from Meiling, the only thing that had kept him alive all these years was revenge.

Even so, she wanted to try again.

He wanted to see if his beloved Lin Shu would change his mind.

Unfortunately, the result was as expected.

As Mei Changsu watched Nihuang rush out the door, a sudden sharp pain shot through his chest.

He staggered and grabbed the door frame, bending over to feel the pain in his heart.

"metropolitan."

Li Gang was shocked to see this.

He rushed forward in two steps to help the swaying Mei Changsu back to his bed.

He looked at the grief-stricken Mei Changsu, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Sect Master, I think you should agree to the Princess's request."

Mei Changsu raised his head, looked at the boundless night outside the window, and slowly shook his head.

"Lin Chen's whereabouts are unknown, and the poison in my body won't last much longer."

He then coughed violently again, and blood kept seeping from between his fingers.

Li Gang's eyes immediately reddened.

"But Sect Master, today is the last chance."

"No need to say any more."

Mei Changsu interrupted him, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination.

"Nihuang is a good girl, and I can't waste her life. At least I can rest assured if she marries Jingyan."

Princess Nihuang staggered to the street corner, finally unable to hold on any longer, and knelt down in the corner, sobbing uncontrollably.

Zhu Shou, perched on the tree trunk, shook his head repeatedly.

Nihuang, oh Nihuang, your brother Lin Shu is too cruel.

Let me lend you a hand!

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly leaped down from the tree.

His figure swept across the night sky, rushing straight towards Nihuang, who was kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly.

Even with Zhu Shou's strength, she couldn't detect him when he was right next to Nihuang.

The next second, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and then the world spun before her eyes, plunging her into darkness.

Time passed by, and before we knew it, it was already past midnight.

Several maids from the Mu Prince's Mansion stood outside Princess Nihuang's boudoir, holding the phoenix coronet and wedding gown. They had been waiting for a long time, but still hadn't received any instructions from Princess Nihuang.

"Princess, the auspicious time is approaching. If you don't get ready soon, you'll be late."

The head maid mustered her courage and called out again.

But there was still no response from inside the house.

She finally couldn't resist and gently pushed open the door. The room was empty, and the bed was spotless.

Clearly, no one was asleep.

"Quickly, go and report to the Prince that the Princess has gone missing."

The entire Mu Prince's Mansion instantly erupted in chaos.

"what?"

Mu Qing didn't even have time to put on his outer robe before rushing out barefoot.

He grabbed a maid by the collar, his voice trembling as he spoke.

"You've been serving me all this time, where is my sister?"

A group of maids turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down.

"We...we came to help the princess with her makeup, but she told us to wait outside, and we dared not disobey."

"It was only just now that I discovered the princess was missing."

Mu Qing's eyes were filled with panic. He pushed aside the maid and rushed into Nihuang's boudoir like a madman.

As expected, the bed was neatly made, and Princess Nihuang was not inside.

"Don't make a sound. Anyone who dares to tell anyone will be killed by me," Mu Qing threatened, his eyes bloodshot.

Then he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the gate of the mansion.

"Prepare the horses quickly; I must go see Prince Jing in person."

Mu Qing had a vague suspicion that her sister might have run away from the wedding.

If it really was a case of eloping, then it would be slapping the royal family in the face in front of the whole world.

It should be noted that the current emperor cares most about the reputation of the royal family.

If that's the case, then the entire household will suffer.

This thought sent a chill down Mu Qing's spine.

He didn't believe that the ironclad certificate could save the lives of everyone in the household.

When he received the imperial edict, he seemed to see a line of large characters appear on it.

"The final interpretation right belongs to the emperor."

Anyone who actually believes this stuff is a complete idiot.

Didn't the Chiyan Army also receive an imperial gold plaque back then?

But the result?

"drive!"

As the horse galloped across the street, Mu Qing's heart sank to the bottom.

The only way forward for the Mu Prince's Mansion is to first seek Prince Jing's forgiveness, and then have Prince Jing negotiate with the Emperor.

On the rooftop of Jiangyue Tower, Zhu Houcong, controlling the Azure Dragon, stood with his hands behind his back on the eaves, watching Mu Qing's speeding figure from afar.

Mu Qing was quite clever; he knew to conceal the information first and then go to Prince Jing.

Unfortunately, you no longer have the chance!

A hint of killing intent flashed in Qinglong's eyes.

The plan has officially begun.

No sooner had Mu Qing left the Mu Prince's Mansion than a commotion of footsteps echoed outside the mansion's gates.

"When the Eastern Depot (a secret police agency) is handling a case, bystanders should stay away."

Xuanwu, who had been plotting for a long time, stormed in with dozens of Dongchang agents.

Upon seeing this, the old steward of the Mu Prince's Mansion quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Halt! Our lord is dealing with important matters and cannot receive guests..."

Snapped!

Before the old steward could finish speaking, Xuanwu slapped him so hard that he saw stars.

He staggered back several steps.

Xuanwu raised his chin and said arrogantly.

"The Eastern Depot received a secret report that Princess Nihuang had run away from her arranged marriage, and has come here to confirm it."

The old butler's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but he forced himself to remain calm and denied it.

"Absolutely not! The princess is in her boudoir getting ready; how could she possibly run away from her arranged marriage?"

"Oh?"
