The roots of troubles

Mu Qingwan smiled, "You? Are you really able? Can you really give up your wife who loves you so much? Can you really give up her flesh and blood in her belly? If you can, then I will not only not be grateful to you, but will despise you because you hurt the heart of a woman who loves you so much! Because you made a child lose his father's love before he was born! Because you made me innocently a sinner who broke up other people's families!"

Helian Mo Xiao twisted his handsome face like a trapped beast. The surging anger in his chest wanted to attack but was afraid of hurting her. He wanted to defend himself, but found that every sentence she said was correct and there was no way to defend him. He sat in confusion on the chair beside him, as if he had been drained of all his strength.

After a while, he said softly: "Is there really no possibility?"

Mu Qingwan was about to speak, but Lu Chuxia suddenly broke in. Her face turned pale, and she didn't care about breathing, and said hurriedly:

"Brother-in-law, Dad and Brother want you to go to the hall quickly. Our entire road mansion is surrounded by the emperor's black armored cavalry!"

Emperor Mu Qingwan suddenly widened her eyes in shock: "Hengzhi?"

Helian Moxiao nodded and quickly stood up from the chair. The depressed look just now disappeared without a trace. He grabbed Mu Qingwan's hand and ordered Lu Chuxia:

"Your sister is inside, go and help her out, let's go to the hall together."

Lu Chuxia nodded and quickly helped Lu Qinxia out. There was still a faint smile on her face. Mu Qingwan was uncomfortable being seen by her. I remembered that her hand was still being grabbed by Helian Moxiao, and she couldn't help but pull it out, but was held tighter by him.

She glared at him, but he had turned his head and pulled her out. She had no choice but to follow quickly.

The originally peaceful Xinhu Lake seemed to have been thrown into it by someone, which made her feel confused.

How could Hengzhi know that she is in the Lu Mansion? Is it just to catch her with such a big move?

Along the way, all the servants of the Lu Mansion were moving in and out, looking like they were in trouble, but fortunately they were well-trained, so they didn't look chaotic.

Seeing this, her heart couldn't help but feel dull and a feeling of guilt that dragged others down. She has always lived a free and easy life and disliked owing others the most, especially favors. Now for her, Qiu Xin's life and death are uncertain, and the prominent Lu Mansion is also in chaos due to her arrival. If Hengzhi insists on pursuing it, it may implicate the entire Lu family.

Thinking of the worst result, her pace gradually slowed down and said sadly:

"Helian Moxiao, let me go, I don't want to implicate you."

But his steps didn't stop for a moment, and he didn't even look back at her, but just uttered a few words in a hard voice: "Impossible!"

She turned around and wanted to ask the two sisters Lu Chuxia for help, but she couldn't speak in the face of their eyes, especially when she saw the contempt in Lu Chuxia's eyes, it was even more sour and hard to bear.

Now in Lu Chuxia's eyes, she is probably no longer a confidant, but a third party who destroys her sister's happiness.

She lowered her head and stopped talking, and the group soon arrived at the hall.

At the door, she struggled again. Helian Moxiao quickly let go this time. He probably was afraid that the elders of the Lu family would not be good to see him intimate with her like no one else later.

Inside Showa, Old Lady Lu, Lu Zhonghuai and several in charge of the Lu family were all here, and they were discussing something, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Seeing Mu Qingwan walking in, a hint of doubt passed by everyone's faces. Lu Zhonghuai was about to speak when a servant ran in quickly and replied:

"Report to Master, General Ye said outside that the emperor had an order. As long as Lu Mansion handed over Princess Qingwan of Xichu, it would be considered that nothing had happened."

Mu Qingwan's face suddenly turned pale, and her hands couldn't help but clenched, it was indeed for her!

When Lu Zhongqing, who was impatient, heard this, he immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "What Princess Qingwan? When did our Lu Mansion come in? He should not bully people too much!"

"Brother, don't be anxious first, I'm afraid there is another hidden truth in this matter. Let's listen to what Mo Xiao said."

Lu Zhonghuai comforted his elder brother a few words, then stopped his gaze on Mu Qingwan for a while, and finally settled on Helian Moxiao.

Helian Moxiao was about to speak, but Lu Qinxia took the lead:

"Dad, this Lu Qi is Princess Qingwan, Xi Chu. She was forced to marry by the emperor earlier and insisted on accepting her as a concubine. Her daughter fell in love with her at first sight and couldn't bear to suffer, so she helped her escape and told her to come and seek refuge with the Lu family."

Her words were like throwing a bomb in the room. Everyone was shocked. They never thought that this ugly monster was the famous Princess Qingwan. The biggest reaction was Showa. He stood up from the chair and walked quickly to Mu Qingwan. He looked at her for a while before suppressing his excitement. He said in a low voice:

"Qingwan? It's really you?"

Mu Qingwan's tears fell down, and she nodded with a sob, "Showa, it's me! It's me!"

As she said that, she removed the red fake birthmark on her face and all the disguise, revealing the stunning beauty, and bursts of breathing sounds suddenly sounded in the room.

Showa's hanging heart then let go, let out a long breath, and held her hand excitedly: "Qingwan, it's really you! Do you know..."

Seeing Lu Chuxia looking at them with a bright look, Mu Qingwan quickly pulled her hand out quietly. Only then did Showa realize that someone else was there. She changed her tone and continued concealingly:

"Do you know how much the emperor misses you?"

When he heard him mention Xiahou Lie, Mu Qingwan was even more sad and couldn't say anything, and tears fell down, "Where is he now?"

"He is in Dongmo. In order to regain you, he led his troops into the capital of Dongmo. Unexpectedly, you have escaped."

"What?" Her heart seemed to be hit hard with a hammer suddenly, and her lips trembled, "You mean... Xiahou Lie has led his troops to attack Dongmo?"

Showa's face also became heavier, and he nodded and said:

"According to a letter from Feige three days ago, the troops of Helian Hengzhi and Prince Dongmorui were defeated by the coalition forces of the emperor and Helian brothers. However... I didn't expect that they actually jumped out of the encirclement and arrived in Cangzhou in just three days. Now they are attacking Lu Mansion, but I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

Lu Zhongqing finally figured out the whole story, and his narrow eyes immediately stared at Mu Qingwan and said:

"Our Lu family has always been with the people of the four royal family, and now they really want to start a war with Dongmo for a imperial prisoner?"

Mu Qingwan was already feeling guilty because she had dragged the Lu Mansion. At this moment, she was extremely embarrassed when she heard this and wanted to find a hole to crawl into it. She walked to the middle of the hall and bowed deeply to everyone present:

"Since this is a grudge between Helian Hengzhi and I, Qingwan will not drag down the Lu Mansion. Please rest assured. Thank you for your care from Lu Mansion during this period!"

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and walked towards the door. Before she could take two steps, she was pulled by Showa and shouted loudly:

"Do you think it's okay to hand over yourself? Don't be stupid! It's even worse if you go. At that time, he will definitely use you to threaten the emperor's brother to withdraw his troops, and maybe even use you as bait and set up a trap and set up a trap is not good for the emperor's brother!"

Old Lady Lu next to her also hurriedly stood up and stopped:

"That's right, Lie'er is my grandson, and I can't abandon him. Now that things have developed to this point, the Lu Mansion can no longer be out of the matter. What's more, you saved your life. Even if our Lu Mansion now saves your life, it's still OK, so you must not go out!"

When Lu Zhongqing heard his mother's words, he realized that his tone just now was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly said:

"Let's sit down and make a long-term plan."

Mu Qingwan was immediately grateful, but then bursts of sadness swept over. She never knew that this trip was giving Helian Hengzhi a chance to turn over? However, Mu Qingwan has always been open-minded and never felt like she was dragging others down. Now she has become a burden to a group of people for no reason, and she feels very ashamed.

She would rather choose to let her drag down such an innocent family of all her family.

What's more, in the face of such a war that started because of her, she had long since no idea what to do.

My former lover and my current lover are in a fight.

In order to compete for her alone, countless people and soldiers have been sacrificed. Those innocent people died because of her, and those blood shed because of her.

Beauty is a disaster for the country and the people. These eight words are heavily pressed on her heart, making her unable to breathe anymore.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Helian Moxiao hurriedly comforted her softly:

"Don't think about it all. Even without you, Dongmo and Beiyan will have a war sooner or later. War is common in such an era of four countries. Sometimes women are just an excuse."

Mu Qingwan smiled bitterly, lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Although the Lu Mansion is prominent and has its own guard team, its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the imperial guards specially trained by the royal family. In addition, most of the troops under Helian Moxiao are in the capital of Dongmo, and Helian Hengzhi has already made plans to break the net to death. He has all his troops blocked the Lu Mansion. The disparity in military strength is too great, and if he fights head-on, he may not be able to bear it.

So everyone quickly discussed and planned to go out from the secret passage and go straight to Helian Moxiao's fiefdom, where some of his troops were there. Moreover, Helian Hengzhi was so arrogant that Xiahou Lie and the others must have heard the news and they should have come to rescue soon.

The carriages were ready soon and everyone returned to their positions. Because Lu Qinxia and Mu Qingwan were pregnant, they were not suitable for rushing to ride, so they each took a carriage, which was taken care of by Helian Moxiao and Showa.

The group quickly left the secret passage, and suddenly someone rode over and whispered to Helian Moxiao. His beautiful brows quickly frowned, and then quickly rode his horse to Lu Zhonghuai and said:

"My father-in-law, let the team deviate from the pipeline immediately and hide in the valley below."

Lu Zhonghuai turned his head quickly, "What's wrong?"

Helian Moxiao pointed directly in front, his eyes darkened: "Helian Hengzhi brought 10,000 light cavalry, right in front!"
