Chapter 30: Reluctance to compromise
The heavy and sturdy city gate slowly opened, and a woman in white stepped out of the city gate, and the gate behind her was immediately closed.
She was dressed in white fluttering, looking elegant from a distance, taking a calm and unhurried step, exuding an aura that people dare not blaspheme. Her eyes were on the majestic, tall man.
A gust of wind blew the yellow sand towards her, and she lowered her head and closed her eyes, waiting for the wind and sand to blow.
Gu Hanxuan's cold face trembled slightly, he turned over and dismounted, his armor was majestic.
"Your Majesty." Su Lu shouted to stop his body as he wanted to take a step, worried that this move would allow the woman in front of him to hold him hostage.
A smile curled into his lips, and he looked at him to indicate that he didn't need to say more.
Striding steadily in front of her, she glanced at Gu Hanxuan, who was standing in front of her, and then looked at Mu Yunche in front of the army behind him, and was relieved to see that there were no obvious scars on his body.
She looked at Gu Hanxuan and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, you let me meet, but do you want to make a deal?" ”
Gu Hanxuan's eyes stared at her, he didn't know why she wanted to flee, he suppressed the last words of the first emperor to give her the honor of the queen, and poured out all the tenderness in his heart, why did she turn a blind eye.
Even though she treated him like this, he still couldn't look at her coldly, he felt ridiculous, but he felt sorry for the sorrow on her face at the moment, her face was pale and colorless, although it seemed to be okay but weak.
He wanted to soothe the sadness in the corners of her eyes, and lamented: "I can let him go, and even show mercy to the Mu family's subordinates, you-are you willing to return to the palace with me?" ”
His words frightened the generals who were a few feet away from him, and they showed protest on their faces but did not dare to intervene.
Mu Yunqi looked at those generals who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak at her, and couldn't help but feel funny.
She felt helpless about Gu Hanxuan's stubbornness, and looked up at the sky, there was no trace of clouds in the clear sky, and the boundless sky made her infinitely fascinated.
Sadness rose in Mu Yunqi's heart, if the freedom in this life is no longer autonomous, then let her be content with the present from now on and no longer pursue, in exchange for the well-being of her loved ones in her heart.
She said softly: "It is worth it to exchange my freedom for the safety of the third brother." A sympathetic smile rose into her lips, stinging the bound man in the distance.
Her words made Gu Hanxuan's heart bleed, but compared to her not being by his side and making him miss him day and night, tossing and turning, he would rather her stay by his side like a hostage, he just wanted her to stay by his side.
The city gate behind Mu Yunqi slowly opened, and a woman ran to her briskly, knelt on the yellow sand and kowtowed, "Please let the slave and maid follow." ”
She looked at Yingtang's slender body on the ground, moved and distressed, and saw Gu Hanxuan nodding at her, so she walked over to help her up, and whispered, "Silly girl." ”
Yingtang's eyes showed an unclear look, and she tilted her head slightly, meaning that someone in the city asked her to bring words.
Mu Yun was stunned, showed a calm face, glanced at the people on the city wall, and raised a bitter smile.
On that day, NATO troops were outside the border city, and they resolved the war without using a single soldier. The only puzzling thing is that Mu Yunche was only taken away from his military power and confined to the border town guard, although he was guarded, he left his life.
Su Lu took over the responsibility of guarding the town and was in charge of the border with Gu Hanyi, the king of Yi.
Outside the magnificent Luzhou Xinggong house, two men stood in front of the door, they looked ahead, not moving, like stone carvings, bowing their heads and waiting for the woman who had just stepped into the house.
Mu Yunqi walked into the room with light steps, and there were two doctors standing next to the rosewood couch, they looked at the unconscious woman on the couch with heavy faces, and discussed countermeasures with each other.
Gu Hanxuan turned around and saw Mu Yunqi standing in the center of the room, and his heart tightened.
He stepped out from behind the screen, looked at her and smiled reluctantly, "How did you get here?" ”
"The concubine hasn't woken up yet?" She glanced behind the screen and looked at Gu Hanxuan.
He shook his head gloomily and sat down in a mahogany chair.
"How does the emperor explain to the queen mother when he returns to the palace?" Her tone seemed worried, and she couldn't hear the emotion.
Of course, Mu Yunqi was worried, the woman on the couch was the daughter of the prince of Lian Dynasty, and the Queen Mother was the princess who married Lian Chaoyuan to NATO, and the daughter was also the niece of the Queen Mother.
Gu Hanxuan ascended the throne and married this woman far away to NATO, she was originally the queen mother of the queen mother, but she became a concubine by force, and her life was worried when she went on the expedition.
Before she left the palace, the Queen Mother had a lot of dissatisfaction with her, and her brother's rebellion caused Gu Hanxuan to take the throne as soon as she ascended the throne, and her presence caused the Queen Mother's niece to lose her position, and now she is seriously injured.
If this matter is transmitted back to the imperial capital, she is not afraid of what the Queen Mother will do to her, what she is afraid of is that she will be angry with Mu Yunche, now the third brother has been imprisoned, if the Queen Mother refuses to let go, how to rescue the third brother for a while.
Gu Hanxuan raised his eyes to look at her, and sighed deeply: "The Queen Mother blames, I will take care of it." ”
"The concubine treats the emperor sincerely." She said heartily, walking behind the screen.
The two gray-haired doctors fell to their knees abruptly, their heads on the ground and did not dare to get up.
For example, everyone knows today that the emperor let Mu Yunche go for the sake of the queen, and did not kill all the Mu family relatives, and ordered the men to be exiled and distributed, and the women to be enslaved in the palace.
The Mu family committed such a heinous crime, but they were able to save their lives, all thanks to the woman in front of them. If it weren't for the emperor's deep affection for her, the Mu family would probably have no bones left.
The sin of rebellion, what a horrible guilt, how can it be let go so lightly, how to appease the hearts of all officials, how to think of the whole people.
Mu Yunqi looked at the woman on the couch, and gently lifted the white veil wrapped around her chest, and the red blood stained the veil.
Gu Hanxuan walked behind her lightly, watched her movements, and said, "You woke up two hours before you entered the house, and you passed out again before you took the decoction. ”
Mu Yunqi stopped her movements and looked at the woman on the couch with her eyes closed, her face was as white as paper, her lips were dry and colorless, her eyebrows were lightly swept, her small nose was tall, her small face was delicate and beautiful, and she was lying flat like a sleeping fairy, delicate and pitying.
"Give her some water." With that, she walked out of the room quickly.
Out of the courtyard, Yingtang lowered his head to meet her, and whispered, "Miss, it's been put into the decoction." ”
Mu Yunqi nodded slightly, his face was as calm as water, and there was an imperceptible joy flowing in the depths of his eyes.
Yesterday, Gong Huan told Yingtang that he could delay his time and rescue the third brother.
The only way to delay the trip back to the palace is to make Xin Zhenyi unconscious, she is the person valued by the Queen Mother, and she was seriously injured for Gu Hanxuan's sword, I think Gu Hanxuan will also value it a little, for her safety, she will not be in a hurry to return to the palace for a while.
Back in the small courtyard, she leaned quietly on the railing, the breeze blowing around her, and the faint coldness swept through.
She thought about the situation on the city wall yesterday, it turned out that so many people escaped from the Jin Palace, why did her father reuse them after knowing their identities? Could it be that my father had already expected this day at that time?
What is Gong Huan's identity in Jinguo? Why did the third brother believe his words? What else will Haoyue Palace do now? Will the third brother be rescued smoothly?
She was slightly sleepy leaning on the railing, holding her forehead with her slender hands, and her heart was troubled and messy.
Just as she was about to turn around and enter the house to rest slightly, she suddenly heard a sound behind her, and the sound of steady footsteps came into her ears, she turned to look at the man who slowly walked into the courtyard, hooked a smile, pursed her lips and said nothing.
