3343 Seeking Vengeance

The little Crown Princess nodded faintly, offering a small acknowledgment.

Mu Yuanyuan was slightly thrilled to find that the Crown Princess actually responded to her. She genuinely wanted to seek guidance from the Crown Princess, so her expressions and actions were as humble as possible in front of her.

Mu Yuanyuan was a smart child. She clearly understood that the Crown Princess's talisman-making skills were undoubtedly far beyond their collective level—no, perhaps even light years ahead. If she could receive even a little guidance from the Crown Princess, Mu Yuanyuan knew she would benefit immensely for the rest of her life.

Qiaomu merely glanced at Mu Yuanyuan, then turned her attention to Mu Rouqin. She suddenly asked, "Do you often suffer from insomnia, unable to sleep all night long?"

Mu Rouqin was startled, then quickly nodded. "Yes, Crown Princess, how did you know?"

Qiaomu extended her hand. "Give me your hand."

Mu Rouqin instinctively rolled up her sleeve slightly and offered her wrist.

Qiaomu took her pulse, her brows furrowing slightly. "This is a chronic illness you've had since birth." She led her into the small pavilion, had her sit down, and asked, "You always have medicine packets with you, don't you?"

Mu Rouqin's personal maid quickly interjected, "Crown Princess, you're truly divine! How did you know?"

"Naturally, because the Crown Princess's medical skills are excellent," Mu Rouqin said with a smile, patting the maid's hand, then turned to the little Crown Princess. "Crown Princess, I wonder if there's any cure for my frail body?" She couldn't help but smile bitterly as she spoke. For all these years, she had indeed, as the little Crown Princess said, kept medicine packets constantly by her side, never missing a day of medication. If the little Crown Princess could truly cure her stubborn illness, then she would truly be Mu Rouqin's savior.

"It's not difficult to treat, but the treatment period is a bit troublesome, and there are many precautions," Qiaomu said. "Come to my courtyard tomorrow, and I'll explain it to you in detail."

Mu Rouqin's eyes lit up. She nodded repeatedly, softly answering, "Okay."

"Madam Zhongli and Eldest Young Madam Zhongli have arrived."

The atmosphere subtly solidified. These young ladies from noble families were naturally all well-informed. They already knew that Miss Zhongli Er from the Zhongli Mansion had reportedly died in the Sun-Moon Secret Realm, and according to Young Master Gu, this matter seemed to have a significant connection with the Crown Princess. Furthermore, the Chen family's madam had apparently caused a scene by confronting the Crown Princess at the Southern New Garden, with a rather unsightly outcome.

Madam Ma of the Zhongli Mansion, having lost her beloved daughter, would hardly let the matter rest. It was rumored that she had already argued twice with General Zhongli in the mansion, to no avail. Was she here today... to directly cause trouble for the little Crown Princess at the Mu Old Master's birthday banquet?

Mu Rouqin was naturally aware of this. She leaned closer to the little Crown Princess and whispered, "Crown Princess, the people from Zhongli Mansion don't seem to have good intentions."

Qiaomu frowned slightly and said faintly, "Regardless of whether they have good intentions or not, if they want to cause me trouble, I'll make sure they walk in upright and leave horizontally."

Mu Lixiang and Mu Yuanyuan exchanged a look, somewhat stunned, mentally analyzing the personality traits of this expressionless Crown Princess. They both genuinely wanted to foster good relations with the Crown Princess, and thus were eager to quickly grasp her temperament, avoid missteps, and try their best to present their friendly side.
