After I kissed the rough man Khan, I was busy farming in the grassland

Chapter 657: What's the point of having a kingdom without her by my side? (Update )
The shadow guard trembled as he walked up to Murong Ce, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty."

Although the blood-stained floor and blood-spattered curtains in the hall had been cleaned up, there was still a sweet smell of blood in the air.

Chilling.

Murong Ce looked at the kneeling shadow guard coldly.

"Do they think that by killing the shadow guard who delivered the message, they can block all the news? Send a message to the shadow guard of Hou Tang. It's time to let the people of Hou Tang see the true face of their wise prince who talks about benevolence and morality."

The shadow guard took the order and retreated.

In the huge palace, only Bai Mengling was standing not far away, while the other palace servants were trembling outside waiting for orders.

Murong Ce turned his head and looked at Bai Mengling, his eyes cold, "Why don't you leave? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you too?"

Bai Mengling slowly walked up to Murong Ce, knelt at his feet, and looked up at him.

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, with supreme status and power. You can do many things as long as you want. This is something that many people envy. That woman doesn't love you at all. Why do you hurt yourself for her?"

Murong Ce said irritably, "What do you know? When you truly fall in love with someone, you know everything. I am the master of the country, but without her by my side, this position is worthless to me."

Bai Mengling's eyes were red.

How come she didn't really fall in love with someone?

The person she loved was the enemy who killed her own blood relatives.

There are always times when people are forced to do things against their will.

If she had acted solely on her own reason, she would not have fallen in love with Murong Ce, and Murong Ce would not have fallen in love with Li Xianyun.

They are both the same person.

Bai Mengling stopped trying to persuade him, so let her stay with him.

……

When the shadow guard conveyed Murong Ce's order to the Later Tang Dynasty, some rumors about Murong Ce were spreading quietly and became the talk of the streets.

"It turns out that the Houliang hostage actually killed so many people."

Although Murong Ce had ascended the throne, he was not the emperor of their Later Tang Dynasty, so the people of Later Tang were still accustomed to calling Murong Ce the hostage of Later Liang.

"That's right. With a father like that, it's not surprising that he would do such a thing."

Every absurd thing Murong Yi did was jaw-dropping.

"I also heard that after the Later Liang was defeated by the Khitan, the Later Liang hostage became a laughing stock of the world and went insane. Now he has started to pick on people at will."

"Who are you biting?"

"Who else can we blame? What was the cause of the war between the Later Liang Dynasty and the Khitan?"

"And Princess Hui?"

"Yes, when the hostage of Later Liang was in Later Tang, he had been in love with Princess Hehui, but he could never get her. Princess Hehui even married a Khitan. How could he tolerate this? Since he couldn't get her, he had to destroy her."

"The Khitan Khan is not someone you can easily mess with. How could he allow something like this to happen?"

"Of course we can't afford to offend the Khitan Khan, but the hostages of the Later Liang Dynasty can target Princess Hehui's family. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the people's hearts are not stable. If rumors about your Majesty are spread at this time, it will certainly destabilize the people's hearts and cause trouble for your Majesty, which will also cause trouble for Princess Hehui."

People who heard this couldn't help but shudder. "Fortunately, Princess He Hui didn't marry him. Such a scheming and vindictive man is really too scary."

The people around him also began to echo.

After chatting for a while, the man who said Murong Ce was going to cause trouble for Li Rui found an excuse to leave.

He came to a dark alley where someone was waiting for him.

When he reached the dark alley, the man saw the person he wanted to see.

"Sir, what do you think of what I said?"

"Very good." Qu Ting took out a large bag of money from his arms and threw it into his hands. "This is only part of it. If your words are known to everyone, there will be a big reward later."

The man had never seen so much money before, and he said with bright eyes: "Don't worry, sir, I will do my best." Qu Ting nodded, flew up, jumped over the wall and went to the dark alley on the other side.

The man lifted the heavy purse in his hand and said, "I really met a noble person."

He stuffed his purse into his sleeve, walked out of the dark alley, and saw people chatting on another street.

He walked over with a smile, "Seventh Brother, what are you talking about? You seem so happy."

……

They say good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

Rumors about Murong Ce seemed to have grown wings and spread to the streets and alleys, and even flew out of Zhang An to other places.

"Let me tell you, the news has spread all over the capital..."

When everyone heard the news “It’s spread all over the capital,” they immediately pricked up their ears.

So when the secret guards who received Murong Ce's orders spread the rumor that Li Rui was calculating, deep-minded, and used his own daughter as a bargaining chip, it caused the people to sneer.

Because they knew this was Murong Ce's conspiracy.

The purpose is to cause trouble for the current emperor and to make things difficult for Princess Hehui.

Those who spread rumors about Li Rui were driven away as soon as they started talking.

At this point, the rumors about Li Rui had no way to spread.

When Murong Ce received the news, he was lying on the bed, pounding his head which was about to split open.

After hearing the shadow guard's report, he vomited blood on the spot.

Bai Mengling hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!"

However, all the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau were about to be killed by Murong Ce, and the imperial physicians with connections had already fled overnight.

The remaining apprentices were pulled up to take over temporarily, but they could not speak clearly, and Murong Ce was so angry that he swung his sword and killed two of them.

……

In the bedroom of the Empress of Later Tang, Qiu Qianyun was sitting in front of the window, staring out in a daze.

Looking worried.

Several personal maids stood not far away, looking at each other, but didn't know how to comfort the situation.

They were all maids brought from the palace. They were used to seeing the affection between Prince Rui and the princess. However, since entering this majestic imperial city, the princess had never smiled again.

Yeah, no one would be able to laugh.

After Prince Rui ascended the throne, he purged the old party of the previous dynasty, but left one person, the favorite concubine of the previous emperor - Qin Rou.

She still lived in the Shuangluan Palace where she had lived before, and was treated as usual.

Many people in the palace believed that the emperor had an affair with Qin Rou when he was still Prince Rui, and that he ascended the throne with the help of internal and external collusion.

When this rumor spread in the palace, Li Rui became furious and killed many palace servants who gossiped about it.

Li Rui has always given people the impression of being gentle, elegant, benevolent and virtuous. No one expected that he would become so ruthless and murderous after ascending the throne.

From then on, no one dared to spread such rumors.

However, there was still a rift between the emperor and the empress.

The emperor would rest in the queen's bedroom every day, and just like when he was in the palace, he would run to Qiu Qianyun as soon as the court was over.

Apart from Qin Rou, there were no other concubines in the palace.

But it can't stop the contradiction.

Qiu Qianyun has never smiled since she moved into the palace.
