Long Chen also held Mu Tianxue's hand and had just left the Taiye Palace when the sharp voice of the eunuch reading out the imperial edict came from behind. It was so loud in this quiet morning that he could still hear it clearly even after walking a long way.
Halfway through the walk, Long Chenyi pulled Mu Tianxue into his arms and hugged her tightly, "Xue'er, don't worry, I won't let you suffer any injustice as my husband."
"Aggrieved? But I don't feel wronged." Mu Tianxue raised her eyes and looked at him, smiled and said: "The person who was wronged was not me, but Princess Lianyue."
So what if she could be conferred as a concubine for several months, but it would only tie her up in the cage of the dynasty, and she would have to live alone in this deep palace for the rest of her life. She really felt that she was very pitiful.
Long Chen also lowered his eyes to look at her, his starry eyes and handsome face were full of doubts. Seeing that she was indeed not angry, his heart felt as if someone had pinched him, and it hurt. The less angry she was, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Self-blame, guilt.
After returning to Nianxue Pavilion, Mu Tianxue ordered Qingzhu to deliver breakfast to Long Chenyi. She took off her phoenix robe and changed into simple clothes. She leaned on the brocade couch and read a book.
In my heart, my chest was as chaotic as clouds.
Seeing the Empress Dowager concubine Long Chenyi, it is impossible to say that she is not angry or uncomfortable. Today is a month, and tomorrow she will be the daughter of a minister in the court?
Even though Long Chen didn't like them, she still felt filled with panic.
Long Chen also came to the brocade couch, leaned sideways against her side, and held her waist from behind, "Wherever do you want to go today, I will accompany you as my husband."
"Aren't you going to deal with political affairs?" Mu Tianxue put down the book in his hand and turned to look at him. He didn't want to say anything at first, but he felt really uncomfortable, so he had to lower his head and said, "I, I feel uncomfortable."
Long Chen also held her face in his hands and placed a kiss on her cheek distressedly, "My person and my whole heart have already been stamped with your seal as my subordinate. They will only belong to you in this life. This matter
I will solve it and give you a satisfactory answer."
Mu Tianxue took a deep breath and felt much more comfortable. She put her arms around his neck and said, "The Queen Mother did this for the sake of the dynasty. As the princess of Lianyun Kingdom, Lianyue is the good friend of the dynasty and Lianyun Kingdom."
A twisted belt, leaving her here has only advantages and no disadvantages."
After a pause, she continued: "I can allow you to be a concubine for consecutive months, but I don't allow a second consecutive month or a third consecutive month to enter the palace!!"
"Absolutely not. I will swear to you with my life." Long Chen also took out a dagger embedded with rubies and handed it to Mu Tianxue. "If my husband breaks the oath I made to you, you can use this
Use the dagger to punish your husband."
"Pfft!!" Seeing his firm and serious look, Mu Tianxue couldn't help laughing and threw the dagger aside. "I don't need you to swear to me. I believe in you, just like I believe in myself."
Same."
Long Chen also held her in his arms and kissed her lips. How should he love her without letting him suffer a little bit of injustice? Even if he saw her frowning, his heart would feel like needles pricking him.
pain.
"Didn't I say that the flowers are blooming very well in the courtyard of Jinluan Palace? I want to take a look," Mu Tianxue said, pulling the brocade robe prepared aside.
Long Chen also nodded, stood up from the brocade couch, took off his dragon robe and changed into a sky blue brocade robe. The whole person looked even more elegant and unparalleled, with an elegant and outstanding style, which was different from the previous one.
He is completely different from cold and handsome.
Mu Tianxue is still wearing a dark blue brocade robe, holding an ink-painted bone fan in his hand, and is still as handsome and graceful.
This time, the two of them left the palace directly in the carriage. As soon as they arrived outside the palace gate, Mu Tianxue lifted the curtain and glanced outside the car. Just as he was about to take back his hand that lifted the curtain, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar face.
"Lanyi, stop the car." She opened the curtain and looked at the woman wandering outside the palace. She saw the woman with an anxious face, wandering back and forth outside the palace gate, as if there was something urgent, she said: "
Lan Yi, go and take Third Yiniang to Prince Chen’s Mansion, Lu Yi, drive to Prince Chen’s Mansion first.”
After Lan Yi responded, she jumped out of the carriage, and Lu Yi drove the carriage to Prince Chen's Mansion.
"The women of the common people kowtow to the Emperor and the Queen." Entering the inner hall of Prince Chen's Mansion, the third concubine Liu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to kowtow.
"San Yiniang, get up quickly, but what happened?" Mu Tianxue stepped forward and helped Mrs. Liu up, only to realize that her eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts.
She saw her anxious and frowning outside the palace gate again. Something must have happened. Thinking of this, she quickly asked: "Did something happen to Ting'er, the third aunt?"
"Queen, please save Ting'er," Ms. Liu knelt on the ground again, tears falling down, sobbing, "Ting'er was kidnapped by a group of people yesterday afternoon. Only the Emperor and the Queen can
Save Ting'er, civilian woman, please, save Ting'er."
Mu Tianxue was startled, and hurriedly pulled Mrs. Liu up, asking hurriedly: "What is going on? Who captured Ting'er? Why did they arrest her?"
"Yes, it's Mr. Yao who sent someone to capture Ting'er." Mrs. Liu sobbed more and more fiercely, "Yesterday it was rumored that Mr. Yao had an arm cut off at Yuetian Restaurant. Mr. Yao suspected that the person who hurt him and Ting'er were the same.
If you are a group, send people to arrest Ting'er and send her to Shuntian Mansion to be tortured. Queen, please go and save her."
Mu Tianxue supported the anxious Liu who was crying and sat on the chair. "Third aunt, please calm down first. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Ting'er."
"Lu Yi, go to Shuntian Mansion quickly, find out about this matter, and bring Mu Wanting back." Mu Tianxue turned to Lan Yi and ordered, and then said to Lan Yi: "Go to Yao Mansion."
"Yes, Master Snow." The two agreed in unison and quickly disappeared into the inner hall.
"Mother, please thank the Empress for rescuing me." Mrs. Liu knelt down and thanked her again, with tears streaming down her face. After Mu Wanting was taken away, her heart jumped out of her throat and she spent hundreds of taels.
Yinzi also failed to enter Shuntian Mansion.
She could only run to the palace to seek help from Mu Tianxue, but she, a commoner, could not get into the palace. She could only wander outside the palace and try her luck to get in, but she didn't expect that she would actually be encountered.
"San Yiniang, get up quickly. We are all members of our own family. There is no need to perform these false rituals. Tan Yun, take San Yiniang down to wash up." Mu Tianxue supported Mrs. Liu and ordered to Tan Yun.
"Thank you, Queen." Mrs. Liu stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, then followed Tan Yun down to wash up.
Mu Tianxue looked at Liu's thin figure and sighed secretly, then walked to the chair and sat down. Long Chen also poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. She took it and drank it in one gulp, then snapped the cup.
Put it on the chair.
Thinking of the words "torture", she was filled with anger. If Mu Wanting lost even one hair, she would ask Mr. Yao to pay back ten times.
