Haha, yes, for the sake of power, he would even sacrifice his own child. How could she be so stupid that he would risk upsetting the Yun family to help her? She, Mu Qingwan, is just a tool for him to seize power.

a tool.

Could it be that she was still subconsciously deceived by his occasional tenderness and doting, thinking that he treated her special? How sad, Mu Qingwan, you are so pathetic.

Her tears fell quickly, and they fell one by one on the snow-white fluffy fur. Her wet and sticky eyes, as bright as snow, stared at her. She rubbed her body in her arms and saw it.

With this look, Mu Qingwan felt as if a chestnut had been stuffed in her throat, which was dry and astringent.

Her hand suddenly let go of Ruxue, and she whispered softly: "Ruxue, run quickly, go to a place where they can't catch you anymore, and don't look back."

Ruxue seemed to understand what she meant, and stretched out her tongue to lick her hand, as if saying her final farewell. Mu Qingwan reached out and touched its soft fur, wanting to remember this warm feeling, although she and

Ruxue has only been with her for a few days, but it has become like a relative of hers, giving her warmth and laughter.

The two guards were getting closer and closer. Mu Qingwan choked and whispered: "Ruxue, run! Run! Run out and don't come back again!"

Ruxue glanced at her again, turned around suddenly, and jumped out of her arms, leaving Mu Qingwan standing there blankly.

Several exclamations rang in my ears: "That little beast has escaped, catch it quickly! Hurry!"

But Mu Qingwan couldn't hear it anymore. She just stared blankly at the little white shadow that was gradually disappearing. She didn't feel relieved until she couldn't see it anymore.

Ruxue should be able to escape, unlike her, who has to be imprisoned in this place and continue to be tortured.

Mu Qingwan didn't know when the crowd dispersed. It wasn't until Mo Ge's voice came that she seemed to wake up and said softly: "They are all gone?"

Mo Ge wiped away her tears and nodded, "Princess, the emperor has just issued another decree, saying that the empress will be detained in Changxin Palace for half a year. Except for the two of us, all the other maids and eunuchs have been evacuated. No one in the palace is allowed to enter again.

One step away from Changxin Palace, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

"Grounded?" Mu Qingwan laughed as if she heard some joke. Mo Ge looked at the tears streaming from the corners of her eyes and choked: "Princess..."

Biying held her hand and said angrily: "Your Majesty, he is so cruel. As the saying goes, a couple's favor lasts for a night, and no matter how the princess is, she is still the empress of the country. How could he..."

Mu Qingwan reached out to interrupt her and said calmly:

"Stop talking about it. It's better to be confined to Changxin Palace than to go to a strange cold palace. Although it takes a little longer, from now on there will only be three of us left in Changxin Palace without anyone to disturb us. We can go back to the palace again.

Isn’t it great to live freely and freely?”

Seeing her like this, Bi Ying and Mo Ge had no choice but to nod and follow her in in order not to make her sad.

In the middle of the night, Mu Qingwan couldn't sleep. Thinking about the thrilling moment during the day, she couldn't help but start to wonder if Ruxue had been caught by them.

Showa kindly gave her the dog to relieve her boredom, but now it has ended up like this, how should she explain to him?

She was lost in thought when a soft sound suddenly sounded in the dark night. She raised her eyebrows and sat up. The door was gently pushed open and Xia Houlie walked in.

The expression on her face disappeared instantly, and she watched him coldly as he approached and sat down by the bed.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Xia Houlie looked at her wary look, and something flashed through her dark eyes, but at the moment, she didn't want to explore it.

"Tomorrow the Imperial Grandmother will leave for Luo City, and the day after tomorrow I will send someone to pick you up from the palace."

Mu Qingwan nodded to show that she understood. Seeing that he was sitting still, she asked again: "Is there anything else?"

"What happened today..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Qingwan interrupted coldly, "I have forgotten it, please don't mention it again. From now on, I will treat grandma peacefully and help you regain your power peacefully, but I hope you

When the time comes, you will keep your promise and let me leave the palace. I will say this. If nothing happens, please do so, Your Majesty. I am very tired and want to rest."

After saying that, without waiting for his answer, she pulled the quilt over her and lay down with her back to him.

His eyes gradually ignited with fire due to her indifferent attitude. He was used to hearing her call Xia Houlie, but now he heard her respectfully calling him Emperor, but he didn't expect it to be so harsh.

This kind of alienation can only mean that she must be blaming him in her heart for not saving Ruxue, but how can she know his difficulties?

His execution of the entire Su family had greatly angered Yun Lanshan and Yun Chuyi. However, since this was Zhaohe's request, they could not get angry. Now they were looking for an outlet to vent their anger. If they didn't do it today,

If the sacrifice is like snow, then Yun Chuyi will definitely take action on her.

Mu Qingwan noticed a hand pulling her quilt, and turned around unbearably, glaring fiercely at the instigator.

Xia Houlie looked calm and said quietly: "Come here, I will help you apply the medicine."

"I dare not thank you for your kindness. Please leave the medicine and I will find Mo Ge and Biying..."

Mu Qingwan subconsciously refused, but her words froze under his cold gaze. She was angry at her own powerlessness. She obviously hated him to the core, but she had to succumb to his lustful power.

She turned her head away angrily, holding in her anger, she secretly scolded Xia Houlie a thousand times.

Xia Houlie gently untied her clothes, and the force of applying the medicine could even be called gentle. Although she had already had an intimate relationship with him, lying naked in front of him and letting him apply the medicine still made her blush.

.

She turned her head away and buried her face in the pillow like an ostrich, not coming into contact with his burning gaze. However, the sensitive skin contact on her body still made her tremble involuntarily. She could even feel the tightness of his detailed and burning gaze.

It condensed on her body, and waves of tingling sensations appeared on her skin.

I don't know whether he did it on purpose or unintentionally, but the hand that applied the ointment would linger on her sensitive area for a while, but when she started to enjoy it comfortably, he would quickly move to another place. This abrasive feeling made her angry.

She wanted to curse, but she knew that this man was not to be offended. What if he got violent and really raped her, regardless of her injuries?

Still can't take risks, just bear with it, bear with it, bear with a knife on your head!

She secretly gritted her teeth and endured his subtle teasing, hoping in her heart that he would end it soon, but he made it clear that he was against her, and he applied the medicine more and more slowly. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore.

He stopped, sat up suddenly, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and cursed angrily:

"Xia Houlie! Are you applying medicine or applying oil?"

What a shameless man. She has every piece of flesh on her body, and he can still touch her!

Unexpectedly, he was not embarrassed at all by being caught. He said cheekily: "Both, what? Do you have any opinions after love?"

Mu Qingwan had goosebumps all over the floor. Knowing that he could not get enough oil, she could only tremble and say: "It's almost done. No need to wipe it. You can leave quickly."

Xia Houlie curled his lips, "Do you want to know if Ruxue has been caught by them?"

Mu Qingwan froze, and without looking at him again, she pulled the quilt over her body and lay down with her back to him.

Xia Houlie stood up, walked around to her side, and sat down in front of her. Mu Qingwan didn't even look at him. She wanted to turn over, but he stopped her, "For a little beast? Are you making such a fuss with me?"

Big temper?"

After hearing this, Mu Qingwan stopped competing with him, raised her beautiful eyes, looked directly at him, and coldly snorted:

"Ruxue may be just a dog in your eyes, but in my eyes, it is like a relative of mine. That's right, how can a cruel and cold-hearted person like you understand the meaning of a relative? You can't even understand yourself

You can kill even your biological children..."

As soon as Xia Houlie heard the last words, the expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and the breath around him slowly became colder. Only then did Mu Qingwan realize what she had just said, but the words had already been spoken and could not be undone, so she could only

She continued to stare at him unfavorably, not wanting him to notice the fear and fear that was gradually rising in her heart.

She knew that this was a precursor to his anger. What would he do to her when he was angry? Would he abuse her as cruelly as before? Or stab her with vicious words until her blood dripped?

As she thought about it, her body began to tremble unconsciously, and the light in her eyes became increasingly dim. Why was she always unable to calm down? Anyway, she could leave this hellish place the day after tomorrow, and then she wouldn't have to worry about it every day.

Facing this devil, why not just follow him and spend these two days peacefully?

Annoyed in her heart, she saw him raise his hand and her breath froze. Was he going to hit her?

As soon as she realized this, she suddenly thought of the disgusting man yesterday. She closed her eyes in fear and her eyelashes trembled constantly. However, for a long time, she did not feel any pain. Instead, she felt a gentle force.

Caressing her face, she opened her eyes in confusion and saw him looking down at her expressionlessly, his big hands roaming around her face, as if he was looking for a place to start.

Memories of the past came flooding back, and she reflexively stretched out her hands to cover her neck, fearing that he would pinch her. She looked at him with her big eyes unblinking, nervously guarding his next move.

Xia Houlie was both angry and amused by her prepared attitude, "Now you know you are scared? Then why did you want to anger me just now?"

Seeing him like this, Mu Qingwan felt that she was losing her face. She couldn't help but let go of her hand angrily and said with a look of death, "What do you want? Make it clear whether you want to kill or behead, don't hang around like this, it's very uncomfortable."

"I won't kill you." He said calmly.

Mu Qingwan thought for a moment and suddenly laughed sarcastically, "That's right. Now I am the key person who can cure grandma. If you kill me, it will not do you any good." Thinking like this, she felt relieved and thought of Ruxue in her heart.

, became angry again: "Has Ruxue been caught?"

"Mu Qingwan, is this your attitude towards asking for help?"

She knew what he meant. After all, this was not the first time she heard this sentence. He always seemed to like to assume a superior posture and then use various means to force her to surrender.

Asking for help? How did she ask for help in the past? As a princess, she has always been held in the palms of the hands of her father, queen and mother. When has there ever been a time when she needed to ask for help?

And then we arrived at Piaomiao Peak...

She remembered the time when she was with Hengzhi before, and something sharp seemed to pass through her heart. After a while, blood began to flow out...

How did she seek permanence in the past?

Every time she was lazy and didn't practice, and he wanted to punish her, she would always grab his arm and shake it, then she would pout and say coquettishly:

"Brother Hengzhi, I know you are the best, just forgive me this time. I promise you will never dare to do it next time, okay..."

Every time Hengzhi would pinch her nose, laugh and call her a lazy child, just like being coquettish and lazy.

Or sometimes she wants to go on an adventure on a whim, and she will pull his arm, hug his waist, and coquettishly ask him to go with her in his arms, "Brother Hengzhi, let's go just once.

How about just going there once..."
To be continued...
