Chapter 71

Just now, Mu Xiling moved faster than the ministers and guards who were escorting him. He was the first one to rush to Emperor Zhaoqing's side, blocking the front with his body, preparing to protect him with all his strength.

Still his son.

Emperor Zhaoqing was naturally very satisfied.

However, when he turned around and saw his eldest son, his face didn't look so good.

I'm about to be attacked by wolves, but he only cares about coaxing the beauty!
Unfilial son!
"Humph."

In order to avoid being angry to death, Emperor Zhaoqing turned his head, trying to be out of sight and out of mind.

As a result, she turned her head towards Empress Xu, and saw her tearfully pulling Mu Xi to ask, "Are you scared, are you afraid, are you..."

Emperor Zhaoqing's face instantly darkened.

"Rou'er, come here, come to Father."

She doesn't care about what she should care about, and cares about what she shouldn't care about. She is such a good son and will soon be raised as a girl by her.

After all, Mu Xirou was still young and had never experienced such a thing before. She was really frightened. Originally, she instinctively wanted to find her mother to rely on, but Queen Xu didn't even look at her, and her heart went cold. .

"Father—"

She cried and threw herself into Emperor Zhaoqing's arms, bursting into tears.

Emperor Zhaoqing looked distressed, "Don't be afraid, as long as my father is here, nothing will happen to you."

Hearing Mu Xirou's cries, Lin Jiaying also looked distressed, "The princess must be frightened."

"Ah."

Mu Xichen hummed softly.

"By the way, the second sister and the others must be scared too. I'll go take a look."

With that said, she pushed Mu Xichen away and ran towards the Lin family.

Mu Xichen...

this girl.

He smiled helplessly.

Although Qingyu followed Lin Jiaying step by step, Mu Xichen still ordered Chu Yan, who had just brought people in, to follow her. After arranging Lin Jiaying's safety, he asked Emperor Zhaoqing for orders to go outside to defend against the enemy.

Emperor Zhaoqing was definitely angry.

Upon seeing this, Mu Xiling quickly expressed that he would guard the palace with his personal guards, and Emperor Zhaoqing agreed.

Seeing that both brothers went to fight in person, Mu Ximing wanted to do his part, but Queen Xu held him tightly, making him unable to speak.

Mainly because she was afraid that even though she asked for life, Empress Xu still refused to let him go, which would offend Emperor Zhaoqing, or be accused of being ignorant.

Therefore, no matter how anxious he was, he had to be patient and slowly relieve Queen Xu.

But no matter what he said, Queen Xu would not let go.

Mu Ximing could only do it.

Emperor Zhaoqing coaxed Mu Xirou for a while until her mood stabilized, and then he asked someone to take her to a side hall to rest.

"I heard that the master of the Moon Kingdom is good at controlling wild beasts with music. I wonder if this is true?"

Wu Makzu's brows jumped when he heard this, and the national master Wu Ma Qiuhao called out, "What does the Emperor Jin mean by this? Is it possible that he suspects that the wolves outside are controlled by the national master?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and said, "Since the banquet began, my master has not left. How can he control a pack of wolves in full view of everyone? Jin Emperor must not accuse others unjustly."

The envoys from Dongliang Kingdom, Nansang Kingdom, Baiyue Kingdom, as well as Qinglan City and Fengling City were originally gloating and making sarcastic remarks, but upon seeing this, they all calmed down and sat quietly without moving.

It's true that they wanted to see the excitement of the Jin Dynasty, but they didn't want to risk their own country.

Emperor Zhaoqing looked calmly at Wuma Qiuhao, who looked confident and fearless, "Wuma Guoshi said that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Wu Ma Qiu Hao raised his chin, "Obviously."

Wu'an Hou Tang Jun saw his arrogant attitude and couldn't help but said angrily, "If you dare to be disrespectful to our emperor, are you deceiving me that there is no one in the Jin Dynasty?" Xu Yuanmao, the Duke of Ding, snorted coldly, "A minister who belongs to the country dares to be so arrogant. Look at it. I’m still not afraid of being beaten.”

After hearing what he said, Wu Makzu stood up immediately, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."

"The imperial teacher is unruly by nature and does not intend to be disrespectful to the Emperor of Jin."

He sincerely apologized to Wu Ma Qiu Hao, and repeatedly assured that the wolf raid had nothing to do with their Moon Kingdom.

But Wu Ma Qiu Hao's arrogance and rudeness had already aroused public anger, and everyone did not want to let him go.

A little national master of the Yue Kingdom actually openly challenged the emperor's majesty. If he didn't give him some clues, he wouldn't know how many eyes Lord Ma had.

Prime Minister Shangguan Liang suggested that Wu Ma Qiuhao be temporarily detained until the truth is found out, and then dealt with.

Prince Duan, Duke Dingguo, Marquis Wu'an, as well as the six ministers and envoys, almost all of them were temporarily present. Only Xu Yuanheng, the Marquis of Cheng'en, lowered his head and remained silent.

When Queen Xu saw this, she was so anxious that she wanted to go up and open his mouth. When everyone has expressed their position, what do you mean by pretending to be deaf and dumb?
Emperor Zhaoqing pretended not to notice Empress Xu's little move, "What do you think of this matter?"

"what?"

Xu Yuanheng did not expect that Emperor Zhaoqing would ask him. He stood there and trembled a few times, "Hui, Your Majesty, I, I also feel..."

When Sang Yuanming, the Minister of Rites, saw that he did not come out to salute, he immediately became dissatisfied, "Honor Cheng'en, you..."

Suddenly there was an unpleasant smell in his nose. He subconsciously looked at Xu Yuanheng's feet and saw a pool of yellow water stains next to his tightly pressed feet.

Was this person scared to death?
Sang Yuanming was speechless for a while.

Emperor Zhaoqing did not expect that his brother-in-law would be so unbearable, "Okay, I understand."

Xu Yuanmao didn't know why he looked at his concubine, and then his face turned black.

This worthless thing was so embarrassed that he was thrown in front of the emperor.

Empress Xu found no clues and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Emperor Zhaoqing no longer targeted Cheng'enhou. She had no idea that her brother, who was from the same mother's mother, was completely disgusted by Emperor Zhaoqing.

No matter how Wuma Xingzu tried to excuse Wuma Qiuhao, Emperor Zhaoqing finally had people take Wuma Qiuhao away.

At this time, although the sound of killing outside was loud, the cry of the wolf could almost be heard. Xu Yuanmao, Marquis Wu'an, Marquis Ning Yuan, General Huwei Ruan Daohu and others, seeing that the danger of the ferocious beasts was resolved, they wanted to lead their guards to kill the enemy. Not to be outdone, the sons and ministers headed by Mu Chengli, the crown prince of Prince Duan, asked for orders one after another. Emperor Zhaoqing ordered Xu Yuanmao to stay and let the others go.

Wu Makzu heard the sound of fighting outside gradually getting quieter, and Yu Fa became restless.

When the sound of fighting completely disappeared, Mu Xichen came back.

Also returning at the same time were Ding Guogong and others.

"Reporting to my father, all the ferocious beasts and enemy troops have been killed."

"it is good!"

Emperor Zhaoqing said in a loud voice, "If the Imperial Army guards you for meritorious service, you will be rewarded with three months' salary."

Shangguan Xiao immediately stepped forward and said, "Thank you Lord for your kindness."

A vicious conspiracy was ruthlessly torn into pieces, no matter it was a human or a wolf, not a single breath was left.

Kill them all.

Wu Makzu's mind was buzzing.

The Jin army was so terrifying!
The Jin army was so terrifying!
A good hunting activity finally turned into a bloody fight. Empress Xu had an intuition that it was unlucky. She said that it was a bad year and she should find some Taoist priests to perform rituals. Emperor Zhaoqing walked away before he finished speaking.

She said it was not true, and it was not true even if she didn't say it. She was so embarrassed that her face was bleeding.

A sneer flashed in Cheng Guifei's eyes.

This queen of them really doesn’t know what to say sometimes.

He originally planned to return to Beijing the next day, but now that something like this happened, it was impossible to delay any longer. Emperor Zhaoqing gave an order to advance the departure time by another hour.

Lin Jiaying wailed after hearing the news.

We have to set off in the middle of the night. Isn’t this frustrating?
