“Your Royal Highness, they have discovered King Dingxi. With no more than one hundred people around, King Dingxi can’t escape at all.”
Donglin looked towards the mountain. Having been chasing his men for so many days, they finally had an opportunity to encircle and suppress them.
Xia Houmo kept his cold expression. “Send more people. Don’t let him run away.”
“Yes.”
...
On the mountain, King Dingxi was pulled into the dark by a black figure. He lifted the sword in his hand.
“Don’t be nervous. I’m here to help you, Your Royal Highness.”
King Dingxi paused and stared at him with question and vigilance.
“Who are you?”
“Don’t mind who I am. You just need to know that I can help you leave the Chu.”
“Conditions?” King Dingxi was not stupid and would not believe that someone would help him for no reason.
“Of course, I have conditions. But
“Your Majesty, they are arriving.” Xia Hourui was waiting outside the palace gate in his carriage, and a palace people ran forward to report. Xia Hourui suffered a minor stroke. However, the treatment was relatively timely. Even if he couldn’t recover completely, his condition was much better than when he woke up. His mouth and his neck were still twisted, but he had stopped drooling after recovering his consciousness. “Hold me up.” Xia Hourui’s voice was hoarse. “Yes.” Eunuch Yi stepped forward and held Xia Hourui out of the carriage. The queue of the Emperor’s mother had already arrived outside the palace gate. The Emperor’s mother was held out of the carriage by a maid, and Xia Hourui stepped forward. “Mother, pay my respects to you.” The Emperor’s mother looked at Xia Hourui and revealed some excitement on her indifferent face. “My dear son!” The Emperor’s mother stepped forward to
As soon as Xia Houzhen and Xia Houkun sat down, many officials stepped forwards and surrounded them. Su Muge withdrew her eyes and continued eating and drinking on her chair. Soon, all the pastries on Su Muge’s table were finished. After drinking plenty of tea, she was very full. “Mother, I’m going to the toilet.” She whispered to Zhao. Since there were too many people in the palace, except for some high-rank officials who could bring their attendants, other attendants had to wait in the outer hall. “The road is slippery in snowy days. Be careful.” “Okay.” As soon as Su Muge walked out of the hall, she felt a cold wind. A little maid came up to show her the way. The toilet was in the courtyard behind the main hall. “Miss Su, this way please. I’ll prepare a warm handkerchief for you.” The warm handkerchief was used to wipe hands afterwards. “Thank you.”
The person stopped at the door of the room for a moment but didn’t come in and left quickly. Su Muge stepped forward and opened the door. After looking around and making sure that no one was around, she left the room quickly. When she returned to the main hall, it was still very lively. “Mumu, why are you away for so long?” Zhao had come back to her seat. Seeing that Su Muge’s hair was a little messy, she reached out to fix her hair. “Well, it’s too cold outside, and my feet are too frozen to move.” “The Emperor, the Empress, and the Emperor’s mother are arriving...” Hearing this, the people in the hall stepped forward to kneel and salute. Su Muge raised her head slightly. The Emperor’s mother was wearing a dark golden phoenix robe, with the golden phoenix’s head on her collars and its tail swaying with the tail of her robe. She was about 60 but looked as young as the Emperor. With ligh
After that, the Emperor granted Xia Houzhen and Meng Shushu a marriage. After the two stepped forward to express gratitude, the banquet began. After returning to her seat, Su Muge felt a cold sight. When she looked up, she found everyone watching the dance. Then she glanced at Xia Houkun and met his cold eyes. It turned out to be him who was staring at her. Su Muge looked away and ignored him. In the following banquet, she remained a low-key manner to be invisible. Xia Houmo changed his armor into a black robe and sat down. “Mumu, you, you are going to marry the King of Jin?” Zhao, who was still in a daze, looked at Su Muge in disbelief. It was said that things changed, but this change was too fast!? “Yes.” The people at the banquet all had different thoughts. Halfway during the banquet, the Emperor and the Emperor’s mother were tired, so the Queen and others
Su Muge couldn’t figure out why the Emperor’s mother would embarrass her. And the woman seemed to be a little weird when it came to her marriage with Xia Houmo. A maid sent Su Muge out of the Huaxi Palace and went away, leaving her walking alone in the imperial palace. Fortunately, it was not the first time for her to come; otherwise, she would be unable to go out by herself! While thinking about today’s incidents, she didn’t notice the people behind the Moon Arch and nearly ran into him. Su Muge reacted swiftly and wanted to retreat. Unexpectedly, she was stumbled by a rock behind her heel and fell to the ground out of control. “Ah!” As she was to do a backflip, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. “Bang!” “Ouch!” Upon hitting a tough chest, Su Muge felt a sudden pain in her nose. “You can’t even walk steadily now?” A cold and low voice so
“Su Muge, don’t be proud!” As soon as Su Muge returned to Su Mansion, she was stopped by Su Jingwen. After being granted a marriage by the Emperor, Su Jingwen returned to Su Mansion for preparation. Su Muge raised the corner of her lips carelessly. “Proud? Proud of what? Proud of that I will become the wife of the King of Jin but you can just be a concubine of Second Prince with so much effort? If so, I should be really proud.” “You! You bitch! Let’s wait, wait until Second Prince ... I’ll never let you go!” Su Jingwen glared at Su Muge fiercely and left with a group of maids. “Miss, you’re back. Madam will ask us to wait outside the imperial palace.” Yueru came over as soon as she got the news that Su Muge had returned. “I’m back.” Yueru glanced at Su Jingwen’s back and said, “After returning to the mansion, My Lord specially sent people to An Mansion to pick up the second Miss, saying
In the extremely warm hall, Su Muge still felt very cold. Xia Houmo held her chin tightly while looking at her coldly. “You don’t want to marry me?” Before Su Muge could answer, Xia Houmo had released her and stopped looking at her. “Father, I will definitely marry her!” The imperial edict was announced just a few days ago. But she was holding the death-free golden medallion to annul the engagement of marriage today. After Xia Houkun’s incident, Xia Hourui didn’t want to break his promise again. He looked at Su Muge coldly and said with a stressful voice. “Su Muge, You can only use your death-free golden medallion once. Even if I grant you the request this time, I can grant you another marriage after I take back the golden medallion. At that time, what can you use to annul the engagement of marriage? Your family’s lives?” Su Muge gripped the death-free golden medallion in her hand, with his fingertip
“Xinlan, go out to inquire what they are talking about outside now.” “Yes, I’ll go right away.” Not long after Xinlan went out, a maid came to inform Su Muge that Su Lun wanted to see her. After washing and dressing up, Su Muge went to the front yard. Su Lun sat in the main hall with a sullen face. Seeing Su Muge walking in, he put on an even worse look. “Su Muge, how dare you?! How dare you go to the palace to annul the engagement of marriage? Do you want to put our Su Mansion to death?!” Su Lun stared at her and scolded. Su Muge kept her countenance without answering. Without getting a response, Su Lun was even angrier. “Tell me, do you still want to marry Second Prince? I tell you, Second Prince is going to marry your sister, and you will be the wife of the King of Jin. Why are you so stupid?!” “Have you finished?” “You, you!” “If you have finished, I’ll g
