"Okay." Dugu Liancheng originally thought that he had a lot to say to Mu Ci, but now he was speechless: "Wait for me to return to the palace. I have prepared a gift for you. I have been preparing this gift for a long time.
I never had the chance to give it away."
After returning to the palace, he didn't want to wait any longer and didn't need to pay attention to the courtiers in the palace. He just wanted to make her his queen immediately.
He is the emperor, and there is a woman he likes in this life. Whatever she wants, he has to give it to her with both hands. No one can stop this!
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Mu Ci responded softly.
This was also the first time since her rebirth that she was reluctant to leave Dugu Liancheng.
She didn't know how to express her emotions. Seeing Dugu Liancheng holding Xiao Yu'er and kissing her again and again, her eyes grew hot: "Do you have to leave the palace by yourself? Can you let Prince Ling'an go on your behalf?"
Dugu Liancheng laughed: "I'm going out for a while and I'll be back soon, don't worry."
"Then you must be careful and don't take risks." Mu Ci stepped forward and hugged Xiao Yu'er: "I'm still waiting for you to return to the palace and wait for you to give me that gift."
"I am the emperor, and I keep my word. Of course I will keep my words." Dugu Liancheng said, kissed Mu Ci hard on the face, and then strode away.
If this continues, he really doesn't need to leave the palace.
"Emperor..." Mu Ci looked at Dugu Liancheng's back and swallowed back the words he wanted to persuade him to stay.
He was the emperor and had to do business when he left the palace. How could she stop Dugu Liancheng from following his footsteps?
But just watching him leave like this made her really uneasy.
Thinking of this, she handed Xiao Yu'er to Mu Yao: "Please help me hold Yu'er for a while."
After she finished speaking, she chased after him and caught up with Dugu Liancheng in time.
"It's not safe for you to be outside the palace. The rouge button can ward off evil spirits. If you wear it, it will keep you safe and sound." Mu Ci said, putting the rouge button around Dugu Liancheng's neck.
Rouge Button is a spiritual treasure. Since it will protect her and Xiao Yu'er, Dugu Liancheng is also the person closest to her. Rouge Button was also given to her by him. Rouge Button must also protect Dugu Liancheng as his master.
After all, I just want peace of mind.
Dugu Liancheng did not refuse. When he saw that Mu Yao did not follow, he whispered: "Then you should be careful in the palace. Beware of Mu Yao and don't trust her too much."
"Okay, I know." Mu Ci agreed happily.
Dugu Liancheng looked at her deeply before getting into the chariot and soon disappeared without a trace.
Mu Ci stood in shock for a long time, and until the royal staff team disappeared, she still stayed in place.
Why is she still uneasy? Could it be that something is going to happen when Dugu Liancheng leaves the palace?
But she was a woman raised in a deep palace and couldn't help him. If she followed him, she would only hold him back.
"My dear, please be at ease, the emperor is just leaving the palace for a trip and will be back soon." Seeing Mu Ci's distraught look, Sizhu comforted her.
Mu Ci said softly: "I'm just confused. I always feel like something is going to happen."
"The emperor is the real dragon emperor. The empress also gave the rouge button to the emperor. With the rouge button protecting the emperor, the emperor will definitely return safely." Sizhu was also a little uneasy in her heart and comforted Mu Ci.
It is true that the empress's premonition was very accurate, which made her even worried.
"I hope I'm overthinking it." Mu Ci put aside his thoughts and returned to Yong'an Palace.
Mu Yao is teasing Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er still likes to catch Mu Yao, but she is much more restrained than before. Mu Yao is willing to play with Xiao Yu'er, so Xiao Yu'er is naturally happy.
Seeing the warm scene in front of him, Mu Ci's heart fell on Dugu Liancheng.
Let’s talk about outside the palace.
After Dugu Liancheng left the palace, he rode his horse to Dingshan Temple.
An Ye received news that Dugu Lianyun was currently at Dingshan Temple. He wanted to meet and have a detailed chat with Dugu Lianyun.
He kept on going all the way, and his horse was a thousand-mile horse. By the time he arrived at Dingshan Temple, it was already late at night.
The gate of Shoushan Temple was not closed. Li Yu calmed down and whispered: "Your Majesty, be careful!"
In the middle of the night, the door of Dingshan Temple was not closed. Could it be that Dugu Lianyun already knew that they would come here?
If so, there may be an ambush.
"Go in." Dugu Liancheng frowned.
"This slave will go first to explore the way." Li Yu said, taking the lead in entering Dingshan Temple.
The entire Dingshan Temple was shrouded in darkness. Dugu Liancheng was waiting outside Dingshan Temple and soon heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside.
The expressions of the other guards changed slightly: "Your Majesty, there is indeed an ambush inside, let's go."
"Don't leave Li Yu alone, I'll go in and take a look." Dugu Liancheng said, and rushed into Dingshan Temple.
He never believed that the imperial brother would take his life.
Furthermore, Li Yu has served him for so many years, how could he abandon him at this critical moment?
"General Manager Li has his own humble duty to rescue, Your Majesty..." The guard wanted to stop Dugu Liancheng, but it was too late.
Dugu Liancheng just broke into Dingshan Temple and discovered that Shoushan Temple's ambush had been premeditated.
When he went to Li Yu's side, countless masters emerged from the darkness. The leader was tall, but he was definitely not Dugu Lianyun.
"Where is Dugu Lianyun? Let him come out to see me!" Dugu Liancheng raised his voice.
The leader of the men in black didn't say anything. He raised his hand and the men in black surrounded him like a tidal wave, and all of them launched desperate attacks. Their moves were directed at the vital points, clearly intending to take Dugu Liancheng's life.
Even though Dugu Liancheng and Li Yu's skills were both unpredictable, they could not withstand the siege and attack of so many people.
As time passed, Li Yu showed signs of fatigue, but was still struggling.
The leading man in black was watching carefully. As soon as he blew a long whistle, another group of men in black came up.
This group of men in black moved faster and had higher martial arts skills. They formed a formation and trapped Li Yu and Dugu Liancheng in the formation.
This battle lasted for two full hours. When it was almost dawn, Li Yu had already fallen, and Dugu Liancheng was unable to support itself.
His movements became slower and slower, but he still didn't give up.
Before leaving the palace, he promised Mu Ci that he would go back to the palace to see her. He had not had time to make her his queen, so he could not fall down at this time.
Perhaps it was this strength that was supporting him. He passed by with more than a dozen swords, and more than a dozen people in black clothes were killed by his swords.
He thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but just at this moment, a sharp sword energy came and almost pierced his chest...
Yong'an Palace.
Mu Ci had a dream all night. When she dreamed that Dugu Liancheng fell in a pool of blood, she woke up from the nightmare.
By this time, it was already dawn.
"Has your Majesty had a nightmare?" Sizhu stepped forward and lowered the curtain.
Mu Ci stepped forward and touched Sizhu's face, which felt warm. This was reality, it was just a nightmare she had just now.
"Don't worry, Madam, everything is fine. Your Highness the Crown Prince has woken up, and he was still making trouble just now." Sizhu was talking when he heard Xiao Yu'er's cry.
