Chapter 3633: 4.1233 Nothing Found

"Don't you hate me?" Qiao Mu asked.

Mu Qingya shook her head, her expression very calm as she said, "Qiao Qiao, the paths we each walk in life may seem different, but in fact, they lead to the same destination."

"People, if you make a mistake, you make a mistake. You must pay the deserved responsibility and price for your errors."

"Rouxuan's own inner jealousy got out of control and ultimately harmed herself. How can that be blamed on you, or on anyone else?" Mu Qingya looked up, gazing earnestly at Qiao Mu. "Qiao Qiao, how could I hate you? My affection for you is genuine; you'll understand in time."

Qiao Mu stared intently at Mu Qingya, not missing a single flicker of expression on her face.

Just then, the leader of the purple-clad guards, who had searched the courtyards thoroughly, approached Qiao Mu and shook his head slightly, his face filled with frustration.

Nothing found, no discoveries whatsoever!

Qiao Mu lowered her eyes and closed them briefly.

"Crown Princess, Crown Princess." A black-clad youth flashed in, whispering a few words to Qiao Mu.

"Let's go." Qiao Mu took a deep look at Mu Qingya, then led her group of purple-clad guards out of the Gilded Jade Court without another word.

"Madam." Cong Lu, somewhat startled, supported Mu Qingya's arm.

Mu Qingya, however, looked unperturbed. She gently patted Cong Lu's arm a couple of times, her eyes warmly watching Qiao Mu's departing back, gazing for a long time.

The red-to-blue finger marks on her neck stood out particularly starkly under the evening sun.

At Zhufeng Court

After leaving the courtyard, Qiao Mu faintly ordered, "To Zhufeng Court."

Everyone then proceeded to Zhufeng Court. Upon entering, they saw Elder Qing, tied up and thrown onto the ground.

Qiao Mu's dark eyes narrowed slightly, filled with a cold light as she looked at the man before her.

"I didn't expect you to be one of Heavenly Fortune's pawns buried within the Mu family."

"Well, is there anything you want to confess to me?"

A purple-clad guard hurried forward and whispered, "Crown Princess, your subordinate just used a truth talisman on this person, but he..."

Qiao Mu carefully looked at Elder Qing. The old man's head was tilted, and he was grinning foolishly.

Qiao Mu took a few steps forward, stretched out her five fingers, grasped Elder Qing's large head, and instantly sent her divine consciousness in to probe. Then, with a face full of frost, she pushed the old man's head away.

He's gone mad!

After being struck by the truth talisman, Elder Qing not only didn't utter a single word but directly became an imbecile.

What did this indicate?

It indicated that the old man had already been subjected to a talisman!

This talisman was usually harmless, but once Elder Qing's divine consciousness was invaded by an external force, it would backfire, directly turning Elder Qing into an idiot. Even a soul-search would not yield any useful information.

"Watch out!" A roar suddenly came from behind.

Qiao Mu turned and saw Elder Qing's body swell, then abruptly explode.

Two purple-clad guards instantly rushed forward to shield her, both receiving significant impact and being flung backward simultaneously.

Qiao Mu quickly stepped forward, touching their bodies several times with her fingers, her eyes suddenly turning several shades colder.

Heavenly Fortune was indeed very interesting.

In this exchange, Qiao Mu admitted that she had completely failed.

"Crown Princess, Crown Princess." Aunt Jing, who had arrived in a hurry, paused upon seeing the scene in the courtyard, then quickly bowed to Qiao Mu. "Reporting, Crown Princess, His Majesty has urgently summoned you to the palace."
