Chaoyang's heart seemed to fall on cotton, and it felt so good to have someone behind her.
It would be great if this kind of life of being pampered by my brother and being protected by Xiao Junze... can continue forever.
She really hopes that everything will be still, there will be no more wars in the world, and the years will be peaceful.
…
Royal palace, inner palace.
Xiao Junze's body is very weak, and after all, the Gu butterfly's cocoon has greatly damaged his vitality.
After walking out of the door wearing a cloak, Xiao Junze glanced at the little palace maid who was cleaning the courtyard. "What's your name?"
The little palace maid was dumbfounded, standing nervously and fearfully, her eyes flickering.
"Your Majesty has a question for you." Ah Cha quickly reminded him.
"Slave..." The little palace maid knelt on the ground in panic, her voice trembling. "My name is Xiao Zhao."
"Xiao Zhao?" Xiao Junze was thoughtful.
This palace maid not only has eyes like Chaoyang, but also has a similar name.
Liu Liangzhou's people really worked hard.
pity……
In Xiao Junze's heart, the person he recognized was irreplaceable.
"I was seriously injured that day, but you were taking care of me?" Xiao Junze walked over, his voice low and emotionless.
Xiao Zhao looked up at Xiao Junze and was dumbfounded for a moment.
This man is truly the supreme emperor in heaven.
"yes……"
"Put your things away." Xiao Junze returned the sachet to Xiao Zhao and spoke again. "Acha, reward."
Ah Cha nodded quickly and reminded the young palace maid, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Zhao lay on the ground, breathing tremblingly.
Your Majesty...do you already care about her?
"Your Majesty... slave, I don't want any reward, please your Majesty... keep Xiao Zhao." There is only one personal maid beside Xiao Junze. If she can stay...
Xiao Junze narrowed his eyes. "Stay with me? Okay."
He agreed.
Xiao Zhao was so happy that tears of excitement almost burst out. "Thank you, your majesty, thank you, your majesty."
She could finally stay with Xiao Junze as she wished.
There is abundant rain in autumn. After the autumn rain falls, the weather becomes cooler.
Aunt Jian glanced around, made sure no one was around, and stuffed the letter under the three floor tiles on the shopping path out of the palace.
It says, Nightingale's business is done.
The nightingale likes to stare at the window at night, which means surveillance.
These words are telling Liu Liangzhou that the spy has been placed beside His Majesty.
…
Mujia, villa.
Mu Huaichen soaked in the medicine bucket and gradually stopped breathing.
"Master..."
"Owner?"
"Mu Huaichen..."
Qi Feng was always the first to notice, calling Mu Huaichen's name with a trembling voice.
"Forcibly drink the medicine." Chaoyang's eyes were red, but his voice and eyes were firm.
At this time, anyone can panic, but she can't.
Tonight, I am destined to have no sleep.
…
In the palace, Xiao Junze walked out of the palace several times. He wanted to visit Mu's house.
He was worried about Mu Huaichen, and even more worried about Chaoyang.
But he couldn't go. He couldn't let the interested people in the court notice that Mu Huaichen's body was already so weak.
"Your Majesty, Lord Mu and Jiren have their own destiny." Ah Cha persuaded in a low voice.
"Chunlan, go give her a cloak, I'm not worried." Xiao Junze ordered in a low voice.
Chunlan nodded and ran out quickly.
"Acha... whatever is available in the pharmacy and can extend your life will be sent to the Mu family." Xiao Junze was already a little panicked, but he didn't want to admit it.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Xiao Junze could no longer stand, but still cut his palm, Ah Cha stepped forward in panic to help him. "Your dragon body is precious..."
Xiao Junze laughed self-deprecatingly, saying that being able to extend Mu Huaichen's life is truly valuable.
The wound on the palm healed very slowly, and the cuts were shocking.
The Gu butterfly broke out of its cocoon and lost too much blood. Now he can't even draw out much blood from the knife edge.
"Your Majesty!" Ah Cha's voice begged, don't hurt your dragon body like this.
Seeing that there was no blood left in his palm, he cut his wrist...
"Your Majesty, the Mu family... will remember your kindness." Ah Cha knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
He is a slave taught by Ah Fu to serve His Majesty.
Eunuch Ah Fu is an old man in the palace. He warned Ah Cha more than once that accompanying an emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Emperors are cold-blooded and ruthless beings.
But after serving Xiao Junze for so long, Ah Cha felt... what the master said was wrong.
No one can compare to Xiao Junze's bloody spirit.
He has a clear distinction between love and hate, is brave and resourceful, can endure and surrender, and is desperate...
"Send it."
Xiao Junze couldn't stand any longer and sat on the couch holding the table.
The blood on his wrist continued to flow, so Xiao Junze simply bandaged it and hid the wound so that Chaoyang wouldn't see it...
Otherwise, she will ignore herself again.
The darkness in front of his eyes was so severe that Xiao Junze fell on the couch and the world was spinning.
The feeling of losing too much blood is really unpleasant.
…
Outside the palace.
"Mommy..." Xiao Zhao hid nervously in the rockery, his voice trembling.
Aunt Jian has already received Liu Liangzhou's reply, and she took advantage of his illness to kill him.
"Your Majesty is still injured, so hurry up and deliver the medicine." Aunt Jian said thoughtfully and put the medicine in Xiao Zhao's hand.
Xiao Zhao's heart tightened and he was trembling inexplicably.
Grandma would not be so gentle to her on weekdays.
Xiao Zhao walked a few steps and his eyes fell on the soup.
Although she was threatened by Aunt Jian, she was not a fool. Is this medicine... really okay?
Seeing Xiao Zhao walking into the inner hall, Grandma Jian's eyes became fierce and filled with hatred.
After so many years... the Xiao family's empire is finally about to change hands!
"Aunt Jian, this is regicide..." The voice of the little eunuch who followed Aunt Jian behind him trembled.
"Master Liu's troops have gathered outside the palace. Now the main force of the Guanzhong Army is in Gujia. The barbarians are invading, and all the soldiers stationed in Beijing have been dispatched to the border. The palace is isolated and helpless, relying only on the imperial army?"
"What if it fails?" The little eunuch was afraid.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu has his own way out." Aunt Jian clenched her hands hard.
…
Mujia, Bieyuan.
Chaoyang stayed by the bathtub. She couldn't leave Mu Huaichen for a moment tonight.
This is the most crucial night.
Feeling an inexplicable throbbing pain in his heart, Chaoyang stood up and glanced at the night, frowning slightly.
During this period of time, if Liu Liangzhou dared to let the people of the Jiangnan Grain Reserve Department bully the emperor in such a big way... he was naturally completely sure.
Shen Qingzhou left so suddenly that even Chaoyang didn't believe that Shen Qingzhou really gave up everything and left so easily.
Once Shen Qingzhou leaves, there will definitely be endless hidden dangers left in the DPRK.
Xiao Junze is now very busy.
"It's too quiet tonight." Chaoyang's eyelids twitched violently.
Both she and Xiao Junze knew that Liu Liangzhou was safe with the granary in hand, but if he...
Taking a deep breath, Chaoyang ran out of the door in a panic. "Brother, have the soldiers guarding the capital left Kyoto?"
"Urgent report from the border, His Majesty has decreed that we will leave secretly early this morning." Mu Huaicheng nodded. This is a top secret in the military, but Chaoyang is not an outsider.
"It's broken..." Chaoyang's heart was extremely anxious.
Xiao Junze, this fool, risked his own life for the sake of the people at the border.
He knew clearly that the imperial city was not safe.
"Brother, how many troops are there in the Mu family army in Beijing?" Fortunately, Mu Huaicheng has not left yet because of his wedding.
"There are still three hundred people." These three hundred people are his personal guards, who will be taken away after his wedding.
"Secretly guard the imperial city. If everything is calm tonight, stay calm and don't scare the snake. If... someone wants to force the palace, he will be killed without mercy." Chaoyang's eyes darkened. If Liu Liangzhou could not hold his breath, then she would be relieved.
Although there may be some disparity in military strength, at least... Liu Liangzhou cannot become the second Shen Qingzhou with his brains.
