Pampered Into Being The Empress

After hearing the news of Rong Xi's death, Mu Huai was silent for a moment.

Although he suppressed his expression strongly, the attendants could still perceive that the aura surrounding Mu Huai's body suddenly became horrible and terrifying, making his heart more fearful.

The current situation made the attendant very hesitant.

He remembered the sigh and regret when he was a pedestrian trimming Rong Xi's body. He didn't dare to tell Mu Huai immediately that Rong Xi was actually pregnant.

Except for the guards beside Mu Huai, in fact, the servants of Quyun Palace had guessed early in the morning that this Aunt Rong was probably lucky to be her Highness.

Because at night, Rong Xi would always shed a silk-like black hair, walk from his room to Mu Huai's bedroom, often staying there all night, and leaving early the next morning.

Yan Juxu also noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, so he handed over to Mu Huai and said goodbye: "Since your Royal Highness has important matters, the minister will withdraw first."

Mu Huai nodded, and did not gobble up before the minister.

He repeated the words of the attendant Shi Cai in his heart.

That woman is dead?

Mu Huai didn't believe it very much, let alone accept it.

The word death kept repeating in his mind, and there was a sudden sweetness in his throat, choking in his throat.

When the words came out, Mu Huaiqiang suppressed the trembling, and he would not lose his temper. He asked the attendant: "Where is the body?"

The attendant replied respectfully: "The subordinate temporarily placed the body of the aunt in a post on Baokangmen Street."

Mu Huai was reluctant to ask about the cause of Rong Xi's death. He still didn't believe that Rong Xi was dead, and he even felt that there was a turning point in the situation.

He coldly ordered people to prepare their horses, and when he was walking anxiously out of the palace, he happened to ran into Yin Cheng, who had finished his official business from the Privy Council.

Mu Huai glanced at Yin Cheng without saying a word. He stepped on his horse and pulled the rein with his sullen face, and ordered the attendant to say, "Lead the way."

Feeling strange, Yin Cheng rode his horse to follow behind them.

Mu Huai was always unsmiling, but his complexion had never been so gloomy as it is today, and his whole body exuded an extremely cold aura.

Yin Cheng still remembered that even at the time when Concubine Xian died, Mu Huai's expression had never been so solemn.

The sound of horses' hoofs made dust on the ground.

Bianjing officers and soldiers dispersed the people from the middle of Yujie Avenue early in the morning, and Mu Huai and his party were able to rush past.

After a short while, everyone finally arrived at the post on Baokangmen Street, and the attendant led the gloomy Mu Huai to the room of Rong Xi's morgue.

There were two or three attendants stationed outside the house, and when they saw Mu Huai and Yin Cheng, they respectfully clasped their fists and saluted them.

The lead attendant was cautious. Knowing the special relationship between Mu Huai and Rong Xi, he prepared a spacious mahogany coffin and placed Rong Xi's body in it.

Yin Cheng saw the coffin, but he was still unclear. Therefore, he didn't know who the man lying inside was, and he couldn't guess whose death it was that made Mu Huai so nervous.

Mu Huai collapsed with Junrong, his hands trembling uncontrollably, he pushed open the lid of the coffin, and finally saw the woman who had been looking for it recently.

Yin Cheng walked to Mu Huai's side, and his face changed slightly after seeing the woman's face clearly.

The woman lying in the coffin had the beautiful face of Zhang Yili, but Yin Cheng could also vaguely recognize that this woman was the Rong family maid serving Mu Huai.

He had seen Rong Xi several times before, and knew that this woman was a close servant girl who was serving Mu Huai. Now it seemed that when she was working in Yongxi Palace, she hid the face of Qingcheng in order to avoid disaster.

The guard looked at Mu Huai's expression, still hesitating when to tell him that Rong Xi was pregnant.

Yesterday when he carried his body to the pedestrians in front of Hao Zuo, Na Hao found that Rong Xi had changed his face. After he wiped her face off, Hao Zuo repeatedly cursed and committed evil.

Because he had never seen a woman born so beautiful, even though he didn't know her, it was difficult to accept such a beautiful woman who would die so miserably.

Mu Huai's eyes were reddish, staring at the woman in the coffin.

The attendant closed her lips up and down, and finally said to Mu Huai in front of Yin Cheng: "...His Royal Highness, when Nayou, as Aunt Rong, found out that... she was two months pregnant..."

After speaking, Yin Cheng's face changed slightly.

Mu Huai raised his head sharply, looked at the attendant, his voice was horribly cold, and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Are you pregnant?"

The attendant shuddered, patiently the panic in his heart, and continued: "...It's just that since Aunt Rong has passed away, the son in her womb is also..."

It's gone.

After Mu Huai listened, his face suddenly turned pale, and he looked gloomy.

The attendant told Mu Huai the cause of Rong Xi's death again.

They found Rong Xi's body on the official road in Hongdu. According to the people nearby, she was killed by criminals.

Rong Xi and a woman left Bianjing by the waterway in the city, and hired a horse-drawn carriage to go to Hongdu City. There will always be gangsters in this area, but as long as they are given enough money, they will generally not claim people. life.

But the gangsters that day obviously didn't want to claim their belongings, on the contrary, they seemed to have come to claim their lives.

The woman who followed Rong Xi also died, but she was not stabbed to death.

The woman desperately tried to protect Rong Xi, seemingly struggling, trying to stop Rong Xi in front of her and shield her from the knife, but was violently pushed away by the bandit, hitting her head against the boulder to death.

Mu Huai remained silent. He hung his head, leaning on the coffin a little weakly, only feeling dull pain slowly invading the limbs along his heart.

When he raised his head again, his eyes had become scarlet and terrifying, and Yingjun's eyebrows were a little ugly as he could no longer hold his composure.

Yin Cheng had never seen Mu Huai look like this, he was silent, and finally persuaded: "The beautiful woman is gone... I hope your highness is sad."

-"Go out."

Mu Huai said two words in a difficult tone.

Yin Cheng had to persuade again. Mu Huai's voice was already visibly hostile. His tone became a little harder, and he said, "All to the lonely! No one is allowed to come in!"

The attendants responded again and again.

Although Yin Cheng missed Mu Huai's condition, he had to leave the room with the attendants.

At the beginning of the crescent moon hidden in the sky of Bianjing, the sky has been wiped out.

The coffin was fairly spacious, and Mu Huai looked down at the sleeping beauty, and carefully stepped into the gap in the coffin.

After lying down, he hugged the frozen woman in his arms.

Rong Xi was very cold and icy.

Her face was extremely delicate, and she was a bit weirdly gorgeous in her paleness.

Xu Zuozuo thought that she was born too beautiful, and she applied makeup, lipstick, and eyebrows.

She usually doesn't give any fan and Dai is extremely beautiful, and now it is even more beautiful.

It hurts even more.

Because the dead man's body was very stiff, Mu Huai relaxed slightly, and Rong Xi's body was about to slide out of his arms.

He withstood the soreness between his nose and held the woman in his arms tightly.

Mu Huai remembered that he had a high fever at that time, and Rong Xi was soaked in cold water in late autumn to help him cool down.

In the early morning of the next day, she was as she was today, her body shrank in his arms with extreme coldness.

At that time, he could hardly have fear in his heart, afraid that she would not wake up.

But Rong Xi woke up that day and smiled softly at him.

But now...

The woman could never wake up again.

Mu Huai frowned, and he carefully placed his hand on the woman's lower abdomen, and there was a slight sinking on it, which should have been caused by a knife wound. Now that place has been patched by a pedestrian.

He remembered that Rong Xi had vomited many times before, and he had also noticed that the woman's lower abdomen had become slightly bulging, but she had never thought that she would be pregnant.

She must have worked very hard to hide from him that month.

He is too slow.

Mu Huai's throat choked slightly, and for a long while, he placed the lips on Rong Xi's ears, and whispered helplessly: "Foolish woman... Why did you run? I found it."

No one returned him, and no one called his Highness in a sweet voice.

He treated this woman badly, even badly.

He has a very bad temper, and his temperament is violent, he has hardly been gentle with this woman, and he is always fierce to her.

Fortunately, when she never cared about her feelings, she was always bullied miserably.

Rong Xi has never complained, and is still gentle and caring to him, serving him as the master with all his heart.

What he regrets most now is the words of humiliation he said to her that day.

He was too arrogant and said that because he wanted her to beg him and let her grant him his position.

But those words eventually hurt this woman's heart.

After he recovered from his leg disease, his behavior became more cruel and ruthless.

Mu Huai knew in his heart that after Rong Xi was pregnant, he must be afraid that he would not treat their children kindly, and this made him want to escape from the palace.

Before he could feel the joy of being a new father, the child followed his mother and disappeared.

Ye Jing was terrible, and Mu Huai's eyelashes became wet. He asked Rong Xi again in a low voice, "Is it cold? You always get cold easily."

The dead couldn't speak, Mu Huai seemed to be talking to himself, and said: "This coffin is so dark, you are so courageous, you will definitely be afraid."

He cupped the woman's cheeks in both hands, staring at her brows in the darkness.

"Don't be afraid, I hold you, no one dare to bully you again."

After talking a lot to her, Mu Huai buried her head deep in the woman's cold neck, but knew that she would never heat her body anymore.

The gangster who killed her didn't know where he went. He didn't know which group of thugs who killed him was. Anyway, it was a scourge, so he took all the thugs in Hongdu.

He is bound to impose severe punishment on those brutal bandits.

Mu Huai stayed up all night, so he hugged Rong Xi's cold body and lay with her in the coffin.

Only my own breath is in my ears, and the sound of the hand is even more leaky.

When Bai Luxi was weak, the door was pushed aside with a "creak--" Mu Huai walked out of it with a deep expression on his face.

When the attendant greeted him, he suddenly discovered that Muhuai's black hair, which was as black as ink, gave birth to strands of gorgeous hair in one night.

Although it was possible to see gray hair on the temples from very close to him, Mu Huai was only 21 years old, and he lost his youthful head overnight. How sad was this?

Yin Cheng didn't return to the house last night. Thinking about Mu Huai's condition, he stayed in the post for the night.

He walked forward, and he also saw the Huafa born by Mu Huai's temple.

Yin Cheng saw that Mu Huai had recovered his usual composure, but still frowned, and asked with a little concern: "...Your Majesty, is it okay?"

Mu Huai lowered his eyes, snorted slightly, and said to Yin Cheng: "It's just a maid who died, don't look at Gu with that look."

Yin Cheng was silent.

But even though Muhuai tried to hide it, he didn't care about Rong Xi's passing.

But those eyes that were still scarlet, and the Huafa that was born that night, were everywhere showing how much he cared about this woman.

Mu Huai stood with his hands on the corridor of the post on the square courtyard, and ordered his attendants coldly: "Find a boundary and bury her."

The attendant should be.

Yin Cheng followed Mu Huai to the outer suburbs of the east of the city, accompanied Mu Huai, and buried the poor palace lady.

As soon as the coffin was put into the earth, the sky changed slightly, and then the snow fell suddenly.

At first, Mu Huai's expression was still calm, and Yin Cheng was relieved.

But when the coffin was gradually filled with loess, Mu Huai rushed forward frantically. He pushed aside the attendants who had buried the coffin and jumped into the pit.

Then he gritted his teeth viciously and digs the soil with both hands. After the coffin floats on the soil again, Mu Huai fiercely dragged the rope that fixed the coffin, venting his anger with brute force, as if he wanted to The woman in the coffin gets out again.

Until his hand was cut with blood marks by the rope, Yin Cheng's eyes suddenly changed, and he also jumped into the pit, eager to stop Mu Huai's horrifying behavior.

Yin Cheng's voice was slightly higher, and he actually called Mu Huai's words as before: "Zhi Yan! People are dead, what use is it for you to dig her out of the coffin? Even if you hold her body Come out, she won't survive anymore..."

Yin Cheng knew why Mu Huai was heartbroken.

The girls of the Rongshi Palace are stunningly beautiful. Looking at the entire city of Bianjing, few women's looks can surpass her.

She can be close to him for so long, people must be intelligent and self-conscious.

She got along with Mu Huai day and night, and she was pregnant with his child.

Now that she has passed away suddenly, even though Mu Huai's heart is hardened, his heart will definitely be sad.

After Mu Huai listened, there was a slap in his eyebrows. He was so furious that he hit Yin Cheng with his fist.

Yin Cheng avoided Mu Huai's fist. He calmed his mind and said calmly: "If your Highness fights with a minister, the mood will be better, and the minister will accompany him at any time."

Obviously Mu Huai had lost his reason. He threw away Yin Cheng's hand in anger, and then got up again to grab the shovel in the hand of the attendant. He didn't care about the hands that were strangled with bleeding marks, and his expression was extremely gloomy and filled the coffin into the soil again.

Rong Xi's tombstone is a non-character monument. Mu Huai knows very little about her life experience. She doesn't know who her parents are, but she knows that she should be an orphan.

When the attendants burned the paper money for Rong Xi, Mu Huai finally recovered some sense. He fixedly looked at the wordless stele for a long time, and Yin Cheng asked him: "When is your Highness going to return to the palace?"

Mu Huai's voice was cold, his tone returned to calm, and he replied: "Zhengshitang's folds are all piled up into a mountain, and I have to return to the palace tonight."

After saying that, he rallied his sleeves and walked towards the steed, not looking at the wordless monument again.

While pulling the reins and galloping, Mu Huai saw the sky fall in the evening.

At the beginning of the heavy snow in the outer suburbs of Bianjing, the east wind has not stopped, and there is an empty, dusty and distant scene.

Although the scenery is beautiful, Mu Huai knows that when he was born, God should have given him the love for women.

But today, this love thread has been cut off by life.

He couldn't spare any place in his heart, leaving it to women other than her.

******

Chengzhang eleven years, early summer.

The sound of cicadas chirping was endless, and Emperor Wu Huai was disturbed by the cicadas' sound to sleep peacefully, and the night was extremely hostile.

The palace people shivered with fright, and in order to let Emperor Wu sleep well, they took net covers to stick the cicadas.

Qi State just ended its years of fierce battle with Yan State in the north.

The Kingdom of Yan has become stronger in recent years, and the Queen Mother Xiao, who is a thunderous means, controls the government.

The two sides fought for several months, and it was still a match.

Although Qi was slightly better, the soldiers had already lost their sharp morale in the endless battle.

In the end, the battle between Qi and Yan ended in the Yan Kingdom ceding the land of the three states.

Although Qi Jun returned in victory, it also brought heavy news that Emperor Wu was angry.

General Yin Cheng unexpectedly suffered a recurrence of arrow wounds on his way back and died suddenly. He was only 35 years old.

Emperor Wu reigned for eleven years, and made outstanding achievements in ruling the country.

Before he became emperor, he destroyed the small kingdom of Jin, and in recent years he also destroyed the kingdom of Ye in the northeast.

So far, he has regained part of the land of Yan Kingdom, which is an outstanding martial arts.

He is fair and strict, and although he is the supreme emperor, he never spends his days extravagantly.

Mu Huai was a tough political player, and there was no Qi clan or officials in the DPRK who dared to oppose him. Qi was really a powerful country in the Central Plains.

But only the great **** who served Mu Huai knew that this majestic and decisive monarch was only thirty-three years old, but his bones had become fragile due to years of bad habits.

When Emperor Wu first came to the throne, he had a habit, that is, staying up all night for several days, leaving the Qianyuan Hall alone to criticize him until late at night, as if he didn't need sleep.

Every seven days, Emperor Wu would choose a day to go to bed after the next day. After getting up and eating later, he would continue to mark the paper.

Mu Huai eventually broke his body and broke his life.

In the past few years, he was brave and good at fighting, so he could conquer himself.

Now that he is just over thirty next year, he is dying ill and has to rely on medicinal pills to survive all day long.

Some outsiders did not know the work and rest of Emperor Wu, so they guessed that he was like this, it was all because of the heavy killing when he was young that he contracted a bad disease.

But all the people in the Qi realm know that today's sage is a rare sage.

It was the great **** that turned back from the internal divisions. After reaching the outside of the hall, he held his breath and carefully entered the Qianyuan Palace.

Emperor Wu supported Yi in the book case with one hand, his face was black and his spirit was obviously weak.

The **** didn't dare to disturb Emperor Wu's sleep, so he carefully placed the zhe in the lacquer on the case, then bowed his hand to Emperor Wu and exited the hall.

Said that Emperor Wu himself liked this old scorpion very much, and after stitching it many times, he still did not discard it. He was obviously a noble emperor. He had more exquisite accessories than this scorpion, but he especially liked this scorpion. .

Emperor Wu had a solitary and surly temperament. After returning to the Qianyuan Palace, Emperor Wu liked to be alone without disturbing others.

When the court ladies and eunuchs were serving, they always prepared refreshments in advance, and when Mu Huai called them, they would enter the hall very carefully to listen to orders.

There are many weird acts in the present day.

But the most puzzling thing is that after Emperor Wu became the throne, he did not accept any concubines, nor did he have a queen.

The only women in the harem were the Queen Mother Zhai and the concubines and princesses of the first emperor.

Some people say that Emperor Wu only loves Jiangshan merits, not beauty.

It was also said that Emperor Wu was afraid that he was a man with broken sleeves.

But why he didn't accept any concubines is still an unsolved mystery in Yongxi Palace.

When the servant Zhong Cheng Song went outside the Qianyuan Hall, Mu Huai was already sober, so he called Cheng Song into the hall.

Under the extinguishing candlelight, Mu Huai's expression looked a little tired. He asked Xiang Cheng Song, "Can Yan Juxu's family members accept my condolences?"

Cheng Song shook his head and replied: "My Majesty, Madam Yan refused to accept it."

After listening to Mu Huai's eyes, his face turned blue, with a faintly sick expression. After listening to Cheng Song's words, he said for a long while: "If you don't accept it, you won't accept it."

In the end, he was sorry for Yan Juxu. In recent years, he was very suspicious and listened to slander.

But as Yan Juxu became more powerful after he was entrusted to the state, he believed that Yan Juxu had the intention of rebelliousness.

In the end, he forced Yan Juxu to commit suicide because of his loyalty. His wife and family must hate him, but because he is the emperor, he dare not say a word of dissatisfaction.

Thinking of this, Mu Huai waved his hand to make Cheng Song retreat.

He stood up from the front of the case and looked up at the cold moonlight outside the threshold window.

Had it not been for his militant warriors and self-control to let Yin Cheng attack Yan Kingdom, he would not have died so young.

Last year, Mu Tao went to the palace to visit Mu Ji who was imprisoned. He suspected that Mu Tao and Mu Ji were colluding with each other, fearing rebelliousness, and ruthlessly designed to get rid of his own brother.

Later, I learned that only Mu Ji was unwilling, and the reason why Mu Tao went to visit Mu Ji was only because he missed his childhood brotherhood.

Up to now, he doesn't even have a son.

Mu Huai knew that he was going to die soon, so he picked and picked in the Mu clan, and finally picked out Mu Yuan who didn't look so stupid as the crown prince.

He sneered, but felt a sudden pain in his head, then lost consciousness and fainted on the ground.

The palace people were afraid of him, until the next day when they were about to go to court, they found that Mu Huai hadn't made any move, so he had the courage to enter the hall to check, only to find that he had fainted.

When the imperial physician diagnosed his pulse, he looked worried and said that he would die soon.

When Mu Huai heard the news, he was extremely calm.

He has guarded the great Qi rivers and mountains for many years. Although he is not tired, he is also a little tired.

After the imperial physician left, Mu Huai sent people to summon his clan brother Mu Yuan.

After closing his eyes, he thought, death is also very good.

I wonder if I can see that woman in the underworld.

Mu Yuan knelt before his bed with a serious face, waiting to hear Mu Huai's will.

Mu Huai urged Mu Yuan to protect him from the three generations of Mu family.

Mu Yuan should be.

The words that followed surprised Mu Yuan.

Mu Huai said in a calm tone: "After you ascended the throne, ordered Taichang Temple Qing from the Ministry of Rites to go to the western suburbs of Biandu with the old attendant beside me, and move the coffin buried under the unknown monument to the imperial tomb. The person lying there is a woman before me, whose surname is Rong. I will call her a queen and be buried with her."

Mu Yuan's eyes changed slightly, and she didn't know when a Rong girl appeared.

In Mu Huai's ten years as emperor, there was no concubine beside him.

He was taken aback when he wanted to seal a woman of unknown origin.

But this is Mu Huai's last wish after all. After Mu Yuan's expression was flat, he replied respectfully: "My minister abides by the decree."

Mu Huai was silent, and then exhorted: "Let the people of the Ministry of Rites be careful when lifting the coffin, and don't fall her coffin."

Mu Yuan answered again and again.

After Mu Huai confessed to Mu Yuan's important political affairs, he felt that his body was getting heavier and his energy was weak.

On the day Mu Yuan left Qianyuan Hall, Mu Huai suffocated.

After his death, his soul wandered over the Yongxi Palace for several months.

Mu Huai wanted to look elsewhere in Bianjing City, but found that his movement was limited and his soul could only wander in the Yongxi Palace.

He thought, since he could stay in the sun for a few days, he would observe how the emperor Mu Yuan was doing.

At first, Mu Yuan was still diligent, and after the next day he went to Qianyuan Hall to approve Zhezi.

All the performances made Mu Huai's ghost satisfied.

But it didn't take long before Mu Yuan began to neglect the affairs of the government and indulge in beauty.

Running to the imperial concubine's palace all day, occasionally he would be late to the court, and often let the civil and military officials wait for the first half an hour.

Seeing this anger, Mu Huai was anxious, because his soul could only act in the dark, so on the night when Mu Yuan went to the imperial concubine's palace, he let his soul fall to the ground with his thoughts.

In the palace, Mu Yuan looked faint, and the restless imperial concubine asked in his ear to let him promote her brother to the official position.

Mu Yuan embraced the favored concubine into his arms with a look of enjoyment, and then he responded to her request without even thinking about it.

Mu Huai's ghost secretly scolded Mu Yuan for being a fool.

He scolded Mu Yuan angrily: "The foundation of the country that I worked so hard to lay down, didn't let this stupid thing like you listen to a woman's pillow breeze!"

Mortals can't hear the soul speak.

But the candlelight in the hall was shaking very strangely. When Mu Yuan and the enchanting concubine saw this, they all looked in the direction of the candlestick.

Mu Yuan was a little surprised, so he asked the imperial concubine in his arms: "How do I feel that there are others in this palace?"

The imperial concubine smiled and replied: "What kind of silly things the emperor is saying, besides the concubines, who else is there in this palace?"

Mu Yuan smiled deeper and hugged the concubine in his arms, and said: "Yes, I only love the concubine and me, who else can there be?"

Mu Huai's soul was already floating in front of the two of them. He wanted to grab Mu Yuan's clothes with his hands and beat him up.

But when the hand touched his clothes, it penetrated his body.

Mu Huai was helpless, he was a soul after all, not a yangjian.

Mu Huai stared at Mu Yuan with a gloomy face for a long time, and finally floated out of the bedroom when the two were going to Wushan ** together.

When he wanted to use his soul consciousness to float in the air again, his eyes suddenly became black, as if there was some invisible power that was taking away his soul.

Mu Huai was restrained by this weird power, and it was very painful.

But before losing consciousness, he was a little bit happy.

Because he can finally go to Huangquan to find the woman.

*****

When Mu Huai regained consciousness again, the first perceptual sense was the **** air in his nose. After frowning and opening his eyes, he found himself lying on the ground, leaning against the shadow wood door behind him.

He bowed his head and saw that he was actually wearing a mysterious iron armor, with the knife he had been using beside his side, and blood was still stained on the blade.

Mu Huai felt strange.

After arriving in the underworld, he was actually wearing armor and a warrior costume?

Lifting his eyes again, he found a crowd of black servants kneeling in front of him, and a terrified imperial physician.

——"Your Highness...you are awake."

The headed attendant Tao.

Your Highness?

Mu Huai frowned when he heard this name. He has been called His Majesty for many years. When did he become His Royal Highness again?

He looked around, but the original black eyes stared slightly.

He couldn't be more familiar with the scene before him.

This place was originally the East Palace.

No, not the East Palace, but the Quyun Palace that has not been renovated.

The face of the attendant in front of him was very young, and it made him feel familiar. It was the group of people who followed him when he was first reserved.

Mu Huai felt that his blood seemed to be surging, he was a little unbelievable, but more emotions were the excitement that made his heart beat wildly.

He got up from the ground and tightened the extremely heavy long knife in his hand.

I have to say that his body in his twenties is really strong.

At this moment, Mu Huai felt very light on his body for a long time, his arms were powerful, and there was no sickness.

Seeing that he finally got up, the head attendant said with a little fear: "His Royal Highness, do you still use the imperial physician to diagnose your pulse?"

Mu Huai did not reply to the attendant's words, but instead asked him, "What year is it now?"

The attendant was stunned. He didn't know why Mu Huai suddenly asked him the year, but he replied respectfully: "My lord, it's the thirteenth year of Xuanping."

After listening, Mu Huai's thin lips hooked slightly.

He listened to the order to consolidate soldiers outside Quyun Palace, and finally determined that he was reborn on the day when Li Rui forced the palace.

On this day, he entered the Eastern Palace and became the Crown Prince.

When he returned to the palace to find the woman, he was told by the attendant that the woman had been driven out of the palace.

Mu Huai frowned, seemingly disgusted with the smell of blood on his body, and after throwing the knife beside him to the head attendant, he ordered: "Go and change your clothes alone, you immediately prepare your horse at Xuanhua Gate and go with you alone. Go to Hongdu."

The attendants looked at each other in amazement, and answered yes.

From time to time, Mu Huai strode out of Quyun Palace in a black suit, and the attendants followed him closely.

When everyone arrived at Xuanhua Gate, Mu Huai happened to see Yin Cheng, who was leading the army.

It is inevitable that there was another excitement in his heart. At this time, Yin Cheng was still alive and still alive.

Mu Huai walked quickly to Yin Cheng.

Yin Cheng saw that Mu Huai's expression was a little agitated, and he was quite surprised, but he still gave him his hand and said to him: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, enter the Eastern Palace."

After speaking, Mu Huai suddenly embraced him, and then patted him on the back with his hands slightly stiff.

Yin Cheng was stunned, even surprised by Mu Huai's actions.

Mu Huai has always been arrogant, but today's behavior turned out to be mad, embracing him with a big man in front of the soldiers.

Yin Cheng also wanted face, so he pushed Mu Huai away and asked puzzledly: "His Royal Highness...what happened to you today?"

Mu Huai also consciously lost his temper, hurriedly folded his fists and covered his lips, coughed lightly, and said to Yin Cheng, "You will go to Hongdu with Gu tonight."

Yin Cheng hesitated for a while, said hello, and then asked, "Hall, what did Hong Du do?"

Mu Huai smiled slowly and gradually, and replied: "The lone woman ran away... Tonight, the lone will catch her back."

******

The road to Hongdu was unusually bumpy, and Rong Xi was overjoyed. She clutched her heart and resisted nausea.

Huan Niang lifted the curtain, and the cold wind poured into the carriage. Huan Niang patted Rong Xi's back, and said with relief: "If you bear with me, you will be in Hongdu soon."

Rong Xi smiled and nodded, and said, "It's okay, I can hold on."

Suddenly, the steed neighed and the carriage stopped abruptly.

The coachman’s voice changed, and said to the two men in the carriage: "...it's over...we have met a robber."

Huanniang was startled and hurriedly asked Rong Xi: "...Miss, what should we do?"

Rong Xiqiang calmed himself down, took out the golden bag of silver money from his sleeve, and said to Huanniang: "Then let them have property and see if they can spare us..."

Before the words were over, I heard the coachman "Ah--".

The coachman had already been thrown to the ground by the bandits, and when Rong Xi's eyes changed slightly, Huanniang had protected her body in front of her.

Just listen to the gangster saying to his comrades in a rough voice: "Kill the woman with the pockmark on her face and withdraw."

After the conversation, Huanniang and Rong Xi's expressions were dreadful.

The person with pockmark on his face is Rong Xi after disguising his appearance.

When the two of them were at a loss, they were dragged out of the carriage by the gangsters, Rong Xi tightly guarded his abdomen, and Huan Niang stood in front of her.

The fierce bandit looked ruthless and said to Huanniang: "You stinky lady, get out of my way!"

After that, he grabbed Huanniang's sleeve and slammed her out.

With a "--boom", Huanniang's forehead hit the stone, and blood gradually dripped out.

Rong Xi felt a pain in his heart, and shouted hoarsely: "Huanniang!"

The gangster showed a triumphant smile, and just about to stab Rong Xi with a knife, the smile froze instantly on his lips.

Immediately, blood spurted from his mouth and fell to his knees.

Rong Xi was startled, the gangster shot an arrow in the chest, it turned out that someone had rescued her.

She turned around to look for a savior, and when she saw the pedestrian who had saved her in the night, her eyes changed quickly.

Yin Cheng held a bow and crossbow, then "swish-" again, and fired several arrows, hitting the remaining bandits.

And the man who leaned his horse and pulled the rein beside him was actually Mu Huai.

When the two of them faced each other, Mu Huai had already galloped towards her.

Although the bandits on the ground were dead, he still drew a long knife, hoping to attack the bodies of these people again.

Rong Xi's heart beat faster and faster.

Mu Huai actually wanted to catch her personally.

As soon as he saw him, Rong Xi felt fear in his heart.

Just like animals see their natural enemies, she only feels terrified.

She didn't think much, glanced sadly behind Huan Niang's body, and ran away.

Upon seeing this, Mu Huai hurriedly pulled the knife out of the corpse of the gangster, and after putting the sharp blade back into the scabbard, he waved his whip and ran in the direction of the woman.

He cursed secretly in his heart, this woman is so stupid, why run? How can people run fast?

All the enemies were annihilated, and Yin Cheng sat upright on horseback, watching Mu Huai chase the petite palace lady like a play.

In this situation, Rong Xi is like a warbler with its wings folded, and Mu Huai is like a fierce eagle.

The strength of the two parties is too far apart.

Hearing an exclamation from the "ying bird", Mu Huai had already leaned his left body, and with a big arm, he lifted the woman onto the horse's back.

His hand holding the rein was powerful, and he tightly bound the woman in his arms.

When Rong Xi felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat, Mu Huai let out a "call" and strangled the horse.

He hugged the frightened woman in his arms for a few minutes, and then placed his hand on her abdomen under her astonished gaze.

Mu Huai's actions caused Rong Xi's pupils to shrink suddenly.

Will he be... I know.

Mu Huai looked at the living woman in his arms, her eyes darkened.

With a faintly suppressed anger in his voice, he asked her calmly, "What are you running? You are pregnant with an lone child, where do you want to go?"
