Chapter 321 Her intentions

On the top of the moon, wisps of moonlight shine into Yunxuan Temple, only casting a soft light on the cliff edge.

Wu Yu followed Mu Yun through the dim corridor, stepped onto the stairs, and walked step by step to Guanyin Pavilion.

After crossing the sky plank road and walking up a flight of stairs, we finally arrived at Shenyin Palace.

Yunxuan Temple is indeed a very magical temple. Wu Yu thought to himself.

"Prince Wu, please wait here for a moment. I will go in and report."

Mu Yun left Wu Yu outside the door, stepped into the palace, and walked quietly to the inner room.

"Master, the Crown Prince has arrived."

King Chu glanced at him and then looked at Mu Huo beside him: "What did you want to say to me just now?"

Mu Yun saw that King Chu and Mu Huo had something to say, so he stood silently.

Mu Huo glanced at the outer room, walked to King Chu, took out a purse and handed it over.

"This was sent back from the capital's secret post, saying that Cui Hengyue personally sent it to them and asked them to pass it on to you."

Mu Yun's eyes moved slightly and he looked over.

It was a purple purse with dark patterns, and it looked very ordinary.

What is the purpose of the little girl bringing back a purse?

Is there a letter inside?

While he was thinking about it, he saw King Chu reaching for his purse, but was stopped by Mu Huo.

"Master, this purse is poisonous, please take an antidote pill first."

With that said, Mu Huo first handed an antidote pill to King Chu.

The King of Chu took the detoxification pill and went to get his purse.

Mu Yun quietly took out an antidote pill and ate it, then slowly stepped forward and looked at the purse.

"This is not a poison."

The King of Chu took the purse, smelled it, and said to them.

Mu Huo echoed: "Yes, the poison above is very common and cannot kill people, but long-term exposure will be very bad for the body."

"What does the little girl mean by sending a poisonous purse?" Mu Yun was confused.

King Chu raised his eyes and glanced at him, then opened his purse and poured out the contents.

The purse contained medicine residue.

The King of Chu took out a wooden clip from the bamboo tube on the case, turned over the medicine residue, and found the poison hidden inside.

"Really ordinary poison."

After King Chu finished speaking, he put down the wooden clamp and checked the purse carefully.

After checking the outside, he turned the purse over and looked inside, but found no hidden clues.

Mu Huo was confused and couldn't help but say: "What on earth does this little girl want to tell you?

"I don't want to tell you that she has been poisoned and ask you to save her, right?"

At this point, Mu Huo suddenly stopped and felt that he had guessed wrong: "I didn't hear the secret from the capital saying that she was poisoned. It was fine that she went to deliver the purse that day. She was not poisoned."

Mu Yun was also puzzled.

But after King Chu heard Mu Huo's words, a light flashed in his mind: "Did she... want to tell me that Concubine Rong died of poisoning?"

Mu Huo and Mu Yun's expressions were stagnant.

Mu Feng, who had been standing silently next to King Chu, finally couldn't help but speak: "Master must have guessed right, that's what Miss Cui means."

"Then what did the little girl ask Prince Zhen Guo to send?" Mu Yun whispered.

When the King of Chu heard this, he put his purse on the table and pushed the wheelchair out.

"Go and have a look."

Mu Feng hurriedly caught up, grabbed the back of the wheelchair, and slowly pushed it out.

Wu Yu, who was standing outside the door, became nervous ever since he knew that King Chu was in the palace.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, no one came out, and I began to wonder again: King Chu left him out, was he trying to give him a blow?

While he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of a wheelchair turning inside, and he couldn't help but look into the hall.

Just after taking a look, I heard a cough coming from inside.

"Ahem... Prince Wu, please come in."

Mu Feng suddenly appeared at the door and said to Wu Yu.

So fast!

He didn't even notice it.

With such a quick movement, this person should be Mu Feng, the guard commander of Prince Chu's Mansion.

Wu Yu suppressed the surprise in his heart, nodded to Mu Feng, and walked into the hall.

He took a sneak peek.

There was a person standing next to the wheelchair. Mu Yun had already seen him, and the other person...should be General Mu Huo.

Sitting in a wheelchair, King Chu looked much older than he remembered, with a calm expression, as if he had lived in the temple for a long time and was already otherworldly.

"Wu Yu of the Duke of Zhenguo has met the King of Chu." Wu Yu stopped and saluted respectfully.

King Chu looked at him and said calmly: "No need to be polite, just sit down."

Wu Yu gave Mu Huo another junior salute, then found a chair nearby and sat down.

After Wu Yu sat down, King Chu said straight to the point: "What did Cui Hengyue ask you to bring?"

Wu Yu did not show off, stood up and offered the purse with both hands: "This is what Cui Yuanniang asked me to bring you."

The people in the palace were stunned when they saw the purse in his hand.

The purple dark pattern purse is exactly the same as the purse Mu Huo received.

But in just a moment, they returned to normal.

Mu Feng went to pick up his wallet, but Wu Yu sidestepped and avoided him.

Seeing everyone looking at him, a trace of uneasiness flashed across Wu Yu's face. He hesitated for a moment and finally told the truth:

"I don't know why Cui Yuanniang sent you such a purse, but I must tell you that this purse is poisonous."

After hearing this, King Chu's expression did not change, and Mu Huo and the other three secretly exchanged glances.

"Then let's take an antidote pill first." Mu Feng took out a medicine bottle, poured out four antidote pills, and distributed them to King Chu, Mu Huo, and Mu Yun.

The four of them took the detoxification pills, and Mu Feng walked up to Wu Yu again: "Seeing that Prince Wu seems to be fine, he must have taken the detoxification pills, so I won't give them to you."

He put away the medicine bottle and stretched out his hand towards Wu Yu: "Give me your wallet."

Wu Yu put the purse in Mu Feng's hand.

Mu Feng handed the purse to King Chu and blocked Wu Yu with his body.

Mu Huo and Mu Yun kept staring at Wu Yu. Under their gaze, Wu Yu couldn't help but lower his head.

Mu Huo and Mu Yun then looked away and looked at the purse in King Chu's hand.

Not only was this purse exactly the same as the one Mu Huo received, but the contents of the purse were also the same.

The King of Chu suddenly understood Cui Hengyue's intention of doing this. She was helping him test the position of the Zhenguo Palace.

He motioned to Mu Feng to get out of the way, and then said to Wu Yu: "It's so hard for Prince Wu to make this trip. I have already received the things, so I won't keep Prince Wu."

Upon hearing that King Chu was driving people away, Wu Yu hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I have something else to tell you."

Hearing this, King Chu waved his hands to Mu Huo and others: "You all should stand down."

Mu Huo and others exited the hall and stood guard at the door.

Seeing this, Wu Yu took two steps forward and lowered his voice: "King Chu, I am not only here to deliver things to Cui Yuanniang, but also for the Northern Han Dynasty."

For the Northern Han Dynasty?

The King of Chu raised his eyebrows: "How do you say this?"

Seeing King Chu answer the question, Wu Yu felt happy and said hurriedly: "King Chu, you have been away from the capital for many years and you don't know the current situation.

"Since you left the court, the Southern Tang and other countries have been eyeing the Northern Han Dynasty. Although generals such as Governor Wang fought desperately to protect us, we still lost many cities.

"Many ministers in the court hope that you will come out and lead us to drive those bandits out of the Northern Han Dynasty..."

The King of Chu stretched out his hand to stop him: "Needless to say, I said when I left the capital that I would never return to the court."
