Chapter 290 Oops, Stop It
Activating a volcano and shocking the entire Kingdom of Yue might free her husband, but it would also result in countless deaths. As long as she didn't trigger it, she could temporarily keep those people safe, but she wouldn't be able to save her husband. Mu Ruixi had always considered herself a bad person, but she wouldn't kill anyone without reason. She didn't want to go against her conscience, but if she couldn't rescue the prince in the shortest possible time, he would face even greater danger.
Mu Ruixi didn't want to do such a vicious thing, but if the people of Yue Kingdom really killed Lin Muwen out of anger, then she would not be able to bear it. Mu Wen didn't know that they were pregnant, and the son in her belly had not seen her father yet, and she didn't tell him.
A day passed like this, and Mu Ruixi was still unable to make up her mind whether to do it according to what Yu Feng said. Deep inside her, reason and sensibility are fighting fiercely.
Reason said, "You can't do that. It will kill many people. As the Buddhists say, a life is worth more than a pagoda. Even if you don't save them, don't hurt innocent people."
Qingqing said, "Why not? Since ancient times, every battle has been filled with blood, and countless people have died. Why can't you protect the one you love? Can you watch your husband being killed by people from another country, and let your children lose their own flesh and blood? You are right. Follow your heart and save your beloved."
"Oh, stop making trouble!" Mu Ruixi shouted as she covered her face.
"Princess, what's wrong?" The guards outside heard Mu Ruixi's cry and asked hurriedly.
"It's okay." Mu Ruixi replied. Just when Mu Ruixi was in a dilemma, good news came.
"Your Highness, there's a guard outside." The guard said outside.
"Please let him in." Mu Ruixi said and walked inside.
"My humble servant, Wu Ren, pays his respects to the princess."
"Wu Ren, you can leave." What's the matter with me? "Mu Ruixi asked in confusion. She didn't remember knowing this person.
"Princess, I'm here this time for the prince's business." Wu Ren stood up and said.
"Huh?" Come and listen. "Mu Ruixi narrowed her eyes.
"Yes, Princess, I have an heirloom here, passed down from our family. It's called the 'Crystal Ball', and it allows you to see things that haven't happened." Wu Ren looked up at Mu Ruixi and said, "I only just learned today that this thing has such magical effects. I think it will be very helpful in helping you find you, so I came here to tell you."
"Is it really that magical?" Mu Ruixi felt complicated after hearing this, and was worried about whether this thing could work.
"Princess, this is the case. I accidentally opened this thing today. It contains the efficacy left by my ancestors, so it should be correct." Wu Ren said with certainty.
"Okay! I want to see if this thing is useful." Mu Ruixi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time in the past few days that she smiled and said, "You, call the Imperial Master, Yu Feng, and Xing Qi. I have something to tell them."
Not long after, three people arrived one after another. Seeing their puzzled faces, Mu Ruixi said to Wu Ren, "I asked you two to come here today because I wanted you to take a look at these two things. If these two things can help, rescuing the prince will be much easier."
"What did the princess say?"
"Wu Ren, let us see your heirloom," Mu Ruixi said to Wu Ren.
"Yes." Wu Ren said, and took out a round ball emitting a faint light from his arms. "Look, this is the treasure passed down from my family, the 'Crystal Ball'."
"What?" Shi'an looked at the ball and asked, "How can you be sure that it's the thing that can predict the future? Is it just because it's something passed down in your family?"
Wu Ren didn't get angry after hearing this, and said calmly: "If you don't believe it, you can try it and see if what I said is true or not."
"Okay!" Now, let's test the authenticity of this treasure. "Shian saw that he was calm and nodded, then said to Mu Ruixi, "Princess, you give it a try first! ”
"Okay, I'll think about it." Mu Ruixi nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, although it's in the future, it's a long time away, and we can't confirm it immediately. Otherwise, you can let me check what the guards were doing from noon to midnight today. Also, I'll have someone keep an eye on it to see if it's really as shown on the ball.
"The princess is right. Although the distance is very far, it is not suitable to get too close. This is just right." Xingqi nodded and said to Wu Ren, "Next, it's your turn."
"Yes," Wu Ren said as he began to move on the crystal ball. Soon, a picture appeared on the crystal ball, exactly the movements of the person Mu Ruixi had described. This strange scene amazed everyone who saw it, but whether it was true or not would take time to prove.
After seeing it, Shi'an and others also gave their own experimental results one by one. One day later, all of these trials were confirmed.
Mu Ruixi and Shi'an discussed it and finally confirmed that Wu Ren's inheritance was real, because after last night's test, they had confirmed that what Wu Ren was holding in his hand was real.
"Princess, what we have to do now is to find a way to rescue Your Highness." Shi'an said.
"I think so too, but..." Mu Ruixi nodded. "Although the treasure is fake, that method is not a good one. If I really did that, even if the prince was discovered, he would be despised. It would be a complete loss of conscience. Not only would it hurt others, but it would also make the world despise me."
"Haha," Shi'an smiled slightly, "Princess, we didn't have this before, which was a helpless move. Now that we have this treasure, there is no need to kill people again."
"Yeah, that's great." Mu Ruixi nodded, as if relieved.
Shi An saw Mu Ruixi breathe a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, took Wu Ren's heirloom in his hand, and said: "Princess, although we can't use it like before, we can use some treasures to pretend, and then force the prince to release the person!"
"What do you mean?" Mu Ruixi saw the crystal ball in Shi'an's hand, and a sudden smile appeared on her face.
"Princess, Imperial Master, what's going on?" Xing Qi was completely confused and had no idea what these two people were playing.
"Idiot!" Yu Feng looked at Xing Qi with some disappointment.
