Fate is really funny. In his last life, Mu Qingchao's body was hung on the city tower and was reviled by the people in the city.
In this life, the whole city knelt in front of her, begging her to die...
She looked at these people, and there were thousands of voices clamoring in her heart.
Why? Why?
Why should she die?
These people have never respected her.
She usually slandered and ridiculed them, but now at the critical moment, she was asked to sacrifice her life to save them...
But there was a little girl, only three or four years old.
She pulled the hem of Mu Qingchao's skirt, looked up at her, and shouted: "Sister, sister..."
She probably didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know that Mu Qingchao was the Queen Mother. She followed the adults out, but was attracted by Mu Qingchao's clothes.
The little girl said sweetly as soon as she opened her mouth: "Sister is so beautiful..."
"But sister is so thin. Sister, are you hungry too? Ah Yuan is also very hungry. Mom only gave Ah Yuan half a potato to eat today."
"Ah Yuan..."
Before the little girl finished speaking, a woman walked through the crowd.
She nervously pulled the little girl into her arms.
"Didn't I tell you not to scare me away?"
While blaming the little girl, the woman kowtowed to Mu Qingchao: "Please forgive me, the Queen Mother. Ah Yuan, she doesn't know anything. It's a commoner woman who didn't take good care of her child. Please forgive me, Queen Mother, please forgive me..."
The Queen Mother has always had a vicious reputation.
It's not like she has never done anything to anger the whole family because a child said something wrong.
Yes, Mu Qingchao has never been a soft-hearted person.
But this time, she suddenly couldn't get angry anymore.
She has a family, she has a younger brother, and a mother. If she moves to another place, if her family is hungry and in danger, I am afraid that she will be the same, hoping that others will die, but her own family will be saved.
"drive……"
However, at this moment, on the other side of the road, a carriage rushed straight from the end of the alley.
The groom stood in front, reining in his horse and shouted loudly.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way, the horse is out of control."
This carriage naturally frightened everyone to death. How could they remember what they were here to do? They all dispersed.
The crowd suddenly dispersed like a tide, and the entire carriage was revealed in front of Mu Qingchao.
Mu Qingchao had just been distracted, and before he could recover, he looked up and saw the carriage shooting towards him, and for a moment he forgot to even hide.
She can't hide either.
Who is she? A person who is as fragile as glass. She is usually raised in Chaoyun Palace. She wishes she could take a step without gasping for breath. Now facing such a carriage, her feet seem to be rooted in the ground and she cannot move a step.
Already.
Chun Ya and Mu Yin actually reacted.
But in the flash of lightning, there was only time to shout.
"Queen Mother!"
"Sister!"
As soon as the voice fell, the carriage was seen heading straight towards Mu Qingchao.
Mu Qingchao thought that he was dead this time, but in the chaos, he was suddenly grabbed by a hand.
The whole person was taken away and when he looked back, he was already sitting in the carriage.
She turned around blankly and saw someone sitting next to her.
The table of the carriage was dyed with a little light, and through the clear paper, a little yellow light came out.
The man was sitting in the light, his head slightly lowered, his eyelashes drooped, and half of the shadow on his head covered his eyelids.
There was a string of Buddhist beads wrapped around his hand, which he rubbed carefully.
"It's you..." Mu Qingchao shouted subconsciously.
"What? Did you see that I disappointed the Queen Mother?" Shen Muchi asked with a sneer.
"I know that the Queen Mother will not accept my love. Saving you today is all my wishful thinking, so there is no need for the Queen Mother to thank me."
He knew that she hated him, so instead of listening to her say those unpleasant words, he might as well say them first to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Mu Qingchao glanced at him, but his tone did not reveal much emotion.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
Shen Muchi leaned back slightly and leaned on the carriage, but did not directly answer Mu Qingchao's question.
"Yesterday, Prince Qinghe came to see me," he said.
"After such a long stalemate with Northern Qi, they could no longer bear it, so as long as there was an opportunity to sue for peace, they would withdraw immediately."
"They still want me to hand you over."
"The people in the city can hardly hold on any longer, so I know they will definitely come to you."
He spoke in detail, and his profile looked a bit weathered, as if he had suddenly lost his energy.
This shouldn't appear on his face.
He ascended the throne as a young man, which should have been a time of high spirits.
Three years ago, how ambitious was he when he was sitting in the Jinluan Hall?
"So? What do you think, Your Majesty?" Mu Qingchao asked.
She knew Shen Muchi before, and he was a person who was very good at calculating gains and losses.
But now, she can't hold him anymore.
Shen Muchi still did not answer Mu Qingchao's words and changed the topic: "The Queen Mother scolded me very well a few days ago. It must be very happy, right?"
"You hate me so much. You have been holding these words in your heart for I don't know how long."
"But what to do..."
As Shen Muchi spoke, he suddenly turned back to look at her: "I still can't let you go."
He looked into her eyes, and after saying this, he smiled: "It's sad, isn't it?"
"Haha, I have been a person with little self-esteem since I was a child."
"If I could go back to my childhood and make my father look up to me, I wouldn't mind doing any despicable things."
"Just like... now..."
These words had already made his attitude clear, and Mu Qingchao's hands subconsciously grabbed the soft cushion under him.
Xumi, she said: "So...what do you want to do, Your Majesty?"
"Queen Mother..."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched her hand on the cushion.
Mu Qingchao subconsciously wanted to withdraw, but this time, she held back.
"Just follow me. You know, I will be good to you. I have never been so interested in a woman. I can even bet my people, country, and everything for you."
"What if I don't agree?"
Mu Qingchao tried to calm his voice.
When Shen Muchi heard her words, he sighed quietly.
"I know that, but the Queen Mother also knows that my patience is limited. I have spent enough time on you.
If you cannot achieve satisfactory results..."
"good."
Before Shen Muchi finished speaking, he heard Mu Qingchao agree.
Shen Muchi was startled and suddenly turned around.
"What did you say?" He thought he heard wrongly.
"I said, okay." She looked at him, nodded seriously and said, "I promise you."
Shen Muchi's fingertips trembled twice.
"hehe."
He lowered his head and suddenly laughed twice.
"The Queen Mother is indeed a smart woman."
He said, raising his head and looking at her, with tenderness in his eyes: "If you had known the current affairs like this, how could you have suffered so much?"
