Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Dying in Style Can’t Be Stopped (Part 1)

"What do you want from me?"

The cold and distant voice made Bai Xiyue tremble inside, feeling not just aggrieved but with even deeper hatred.

Through a screen, she could only see a tall silhouette. Was it really necessary to avoid suspicion to the extent of not seeing each other? Bai Xiyue bit her lip with mixed feelings. On the other side of the screen, an impatient voice said, "What is it?"

Bai Xiyue suddenly raised her head, the grievance in her eyes evoking sympathy.

However, no one could see it.

She softly said, "Your Highness, Mu Qingge has returned to the mansion."

"I already know," Qin Jinhao replied coldly. He had personally witnessed Mu Qingge’s shocking return to the city, appearing like a completely different person from the wastrel ten months ago.

Those trusted aides were no longer like the useless ones who died in the Sunset Wilderness. They actually possessed Spirit Beasts like the Flame Horses as their mounts.

He, a dignified prince, did not even have such an honor.

The five Flame Horses presented by Mu Xiong were dearly favored by his father, with no intention of being bestowed upon anyone.

But what about Mu Qingge? Not only did she possess Flame Horses more magnificent than the ones in the Imperial Palace, but her trusted aides also had Flame Horses as mounts. Since when did Spirit Beasts like Flame Horses willingly submit to humans and willingly become mounts?

Qin Jinhao’s complicated feelings made his expression even more unpleasant.

He became even more dissatisfied with Bai Xiyue’s information, reproaching, "Is this the urgent matter you sought me for?"

Hearing the displeasure in Qin Jinhao’s tone, Bai Xiyue quickly said, "No, no. Xiyue has more important matters to report to Your Highness."

Bai Xiyue heard the softened tone in his voice, and with renewed confidence, said, "Your Highness, imagine if on the day of Mu Qingge’s coming-of-age ceremony, evidence of the Mu Mansion’s collusion with Tu Country is discovered in full view of everyone, what then?"

"Foolish! Don’t you know the Tu Country envoy is in Luodu?" Qin Jinhao reprimanded.

But Bai Xiyue continued, "Your Highness, it’s precisely because the Tu Country envoy is in Luodu that ensures the complete downfall of the Mu Family! The name of Mu Xiong is much feared by Tu Country. Why would they miss such an opportunity to eliminate Mu Xiong? They would never choose the prudent path but instead add fuel to the fire, convincing Your Majesty that Mu Xiong has correspondence with Tu Country. Furthermore, Your Majesty only needs a reason to bring down the Mu Family. Does it matter whether it’s true or false? How many would really care?"

Qin Jinhao fell silent, seemingly contemplating the feasibility of Bai Xiyue’s plan.

Sensing Qin Jinhao’s interest piqued, Bai Xiyue fanned the flames further, "Once the Mu Mansion falls, Mu Xiong will be guilty of treason. The Mu Family Army would be considered rebels, and to clear their name, they could only submit to the Court. By then, wouldn’t the Mu Family Army be at Your Highness’s disposal? Moreover, helping Your Majesty solve an issue that has weighed on his mind for years would only earn Your Majesty’s greater reliance. When that happens, why worry that major affairs won’t succeed?"

Behind the screen, a prolonged silence ensued.
