Chapter 232 A Bold Idea!
"Isn't that so?" Mu Xin Nuan, with her back to him, didn't notice how cold his expression was. She only felt her back stiffen and felt as if the eyes behind her were glaring at her fiercely.
Mu Xin Nuan was not mistaken; Duanmu Chu Ze was indeed glaring at her. However, after a moment, his expression changed to one of helplessness.
“I know you don’t believe I really want to marry you, and I know why you think that way. Ah Nuan, I came here tonight just to tell you that I like you. As for why I could only wear a mask before, it’s hard to explain in a short time. Just know that I have no ill intentions towards you.”
"Your Highness, it's getting late. Please take your leave."
Duanmu Chuze sighed helplessly, turned around and took a few steps, then seemed to realize something was wrong. "Anuan, I want to ask you, was that so-called cross-stitch idea your idea?"
Mu Xin Nuan's heart tightened. Cross-stitch?
"no!"
Duanmu Chuze frowned slightly. "No? Anuan, I remember you were injured four years ago, is that true?"
"I wonder what Your Highness wants to ask?" Mu Xin Nuan finally turned around, looking at Duanmu Chu Ze with some confusion.
"Does Ah Nuan also know about computer embroidery?"
"Computer embroidery? What's that?" Mu Xin Nuan's eyes showed even deeper confusion, and her expression held a hint of curiosity, which made Duanmu Chu Ze even more certain that she was indeed not a time-traveling woman.
"It's nothing. It was just something I felt like doing on a whim. By the way, could you tell me, Ah Nuan, who came up with the idea for this cross-stitch?"
Mu Xin Nuan felt a chill in her heart. Could it be that his concern for her was actually just because of that cross-stitch?
Thinking of how much fame Mu Xinyao had gained for herself in her previous life through cross-stitch, should she grant her wish again in this life and let her rely on the powerful Prince Chang Le?
But what if I don't tell the truth? With the abilities of this Prince Chang Le, he might not be unable to find out! Before, I hadn't investigated in detail, simply assuming that it was my own idea. Now that I have frankly admitted that I am not the original inventor of this embroidery technique, how could he possibly give up?
Since that's the case, then let's just tell the truth. Maybe getting rid of his entanglement will be a good thing for me!
"It was my younger sister, Mu Xinyao, who mentioned it by chance, and my maid saw it, which is why it was taken to my mother's embroidery workshop and started to be made in large quantities. Does Your Highness have any further questions?"
"Miss Mu the Second?" This answer clearly surprised Duanmu Chuze.
"It seems Your Highness doesn't know much about my sister. But there's no rush. In the future, Your Highness can always find an opportunity to get to know her better. After all, Your Highness holds a high position and great power; perhaps my sister will fall for you."
Mu Xin Nuan herself didn't realize how strange her tone was just now!
Duanmu Chuze looked at her strangely, then a smile suddenly flashed in his eyes. "What are you thinking? I only heard about cross-stitch and was a little curious. How could I have thought of anything else? It's late, you should get some rest."
Duanmu Chuze paused, but did not move. "Anuan, now that I have expressed my feelings, I must show them in action. I will not let you go."
Mu Xin Nuan's heart trembled slightly. When she finally came to her senses, Duanmu Chu Ze was nowhere to be seen in the room.
Love?
Mu Xin Nuan gave a bitter smile. In this life, she would never dare to touch that thing again! In her past life, it had wounded her beyond repair, causing the destruction of her family. How could she possibly stumble in the same place again in this life?
Prince Chang Le? What good is his wisdom and martial prowess? What good is his youthful talent? In the end, he is not the one I want.
However, as Mu Xin Nuan lay on the bed, a very bold idea came to her mind: Could it be that her father's conferment of a title this time was also related to this Prince Chang Le?
If that's the case, then doesn't it mean that the Prince of Chang Le is indeed already taking action? And, quite sincerely at that!
Although the title of Marquis Zhongyong is not high, it is still much higher than that of the Mu family, which previously had no title! Although my current status is not worthy of being the principal wife of Prince Chang Le, I can still be a concubine.
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. Her father was now favored by the Emperor, and he would definitely try to win over both the Crown Prince and the Prince of Ming's factions.
The Crown Prince is relatively easy to deal with, after all, he is the Emperor's eldest son and a military general who fought alongside the Emperor in his early years. Now, he has Duanmu Chen, his legitimate son, so his status as Crown Prince is very secure. However, since the Ming Prince was able to seize the position of Crown Prince in his previous life, he will naturally have the same opportunity in this life as well!
Mu Xin Nuan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
In my past life, my maternal grandparents' family supported the Crown Prince's faction. While my cousin's marriage into the Crown Prince's palace was certainly a factor, it was also a conclusion reached after analyzing various interests.
In this lifetime, it will be too difficult to change their original intentions!
Mu Xin Nuan suddenly had a very bold idea: if she couldn't change her maternal grandfather and uncle's minds, why not just help the Crown Prince win over more civil and military officials?
In that case, how easy would it be for the Ming king to force the emperor to abdicate?
Thinking back on this life, the Prince of Chang Le is clearly different from his previous one! Could it be that his rebirth has completely disrupted the order of this world?
And then there's Chu Rong. Perhaps he too will choose to remain loyal to the Crown Prince. If that happens, the Crown Prince's chances of winning will naturally increase significantly! And what about the Prince of Ming?
Mu Xin Nuan smiled slyly. Her soul had been wandering for ten years in her previous life. It wasn't just a game.
She couldn't say she knew everything about Ming Wang's secret plans and hidden forces in his previous life, but at least she could find a way to uncover and eliminate more than half of them!
Mu Xin Nuan was suddenly startled by her own extremely bold idea!
You must understand, I am just a young lady confined to my quarters, and I rarely go out, let alone deal with the Ming King's hidden forces.
However, Mu Xin Nuan's bright eyes shifted, and she realized that Prince Chang Le was a good candidate. Perhaps cooperating with him wouldn't be a bad idea!
As for Chu Rong, to avoid making Duanmu Jing jealous and misunderstanding, and thus destroying their friendship, it's best not to include him!
Mu Xin Nuan simply got out of bed again, ground the ink herself, and began to write and draw.
It's midnight, the wind is cold, and another night has passed in the blink of an eye!
