Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 182: You’re Not Convinced, and Neither Am I (5)

...

Ten days later, in the capital city of Qin Country, Luodu.

The majestic and grand capital city saw its citizens flocking to the sides of the main street leading into the city from early morning.

The City Defense Army stood on either side of the street, restraining the crowd and maintaining order.

Today marks the triumphant return of Mu Xiong, the War God of Qin Country.

The fierce beast tide from the beginning of the month had already reached Luodu. The citizens living here knew that without General Mu leading the Mu Family Army in a life-and-death defense at the border, they would have long been prey for the Beast Clan.

Therefore, they sincerely wished to welcome these brave warriors home.

Nearly a hundred zhang away from the city gate, the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, who were ordered by the Emperor to wait here for the welcome, wore extremely unpleasant expressions. Although they had different thoughts, they shared the same purpose.

Now that their purpose was unfulfilled, how could their moods be any better?

Especially hearing the surrounding citizens’ praises for Mu Xiong and the Mu Family Army, which further depressed them.

"Imperial Brother seems to be in poor spirits today!" Qin Jinhao, riding a tall horse, glanced at his side at the Crown Prince Qin Jinxiu, and said indifferently.

Qin Jinxiu’s eyes flashed with a hint of Yin Zhe, suppressing his inner rage, he retorted with a cold sneer: "This Crown Prince is very well, but it seems to me that Prince Rui’s complexion isn’t looking good. Is there something displeasing?"

Qin Jinhao narrowed his hawk-like eyes, a cold gleam flashed through the slit, and his thin lips curved slightly: "Imperial Brother is overthinking. It’s true my complexion is unsightly, mainly because of a worrisome Imperial Sister. Without a word, she followed Qingge to Yi City, and these days both my mother and I have been worried sick."

"Changle is indeed too unruly." Qin Jinxiu sneered repeatedly. The gaze he cast towards Qin Jinhao was filled with hidden murderous intent.

The two exchanged verbal jabs, clashing in secret, yet neither was able to gain the upper hand.

For Qin Jinhao, although this time, the Mu grandfather and grandson couldn’t die in Yi City, leaving him disappointed, he still had opportunities. After all, isn’t there still that first layer of relationship between him and the Mu Family, through Changle?

As for the Crown Prince...

If Mu Xiong knew it was the Crown Prince’s faction scheming behind the scenes, perhaps the always neutral Mu Xiong might turn to his side.

After making some calculations in his mind, Qin Jinhao felt the current result wasn’t too hard to accept, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

That smile irked Qin Jinxiu, causing murderous intent to surge in his heart, darkening his expression further.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves arose from behind them.

The two turned to look back simultaneously, only to see the dashing and spirited Mu Lianrong appearing on horseback with her guards.

Qin Jinxiu pressed his lips in silence, while Qin Jinhao’s gaze shifted subtly, taking the initiative to ride over and courteously greeted Mu Lianrong: "Aunt Lianrong."

Mu Lianrong lowered her eyes and nodded: "Prince Rui." Then, she also called out to Qin Jinxiu’s location: "Crown Prince."

Qin Jinxiu worked to adjust his emotions, showing a gentle smile, and spoke warmly and politely: "Aunt Lianrong, you’ve arrived." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Mu Lianrong remained composed, only nodding at the two princes, then stood behind them with her people, waiting for the return of her father and nephew.

This time, she had received hardly any information about Yi City.

Such an abnormality had long aroused her suspicion. During this period, she had been gathering evidence in secret, aiming to uncover the true mastermind plotting against the Mu Family.

And now, the suspect she had locked onto happened to be right in front of her.

Both princes, who eyed the throne greedily, were under her suspicion. Just yesterday, an imperial decree of punishment from the Emperor pointed out the real culprit for her.
