Concubine Lie beware: the emperor is too ferocious

Chapter 123
A guard heard the sound of fighting and ran over and asked, "Guard Xiao, what happened?"

Xiao Yu looked away from the meteor dart, and said with deep eyes: "The gangster has been injured, he must not be far away, chase after him!"

Xiao Yu led people to chase the criminals in the direction they were fleeing, and met Ma Jing, the commander of the inner guard who led a search near Yuci Palace. Xiao Yu said: "Commander Ma, how is the situation?"

Atletico shook his head.Xiao Yu said again: "Just now I have fought against the gangster, his martial arts are extremely deep, he must be a master of the rivers and lakes, but he should not be far away after being injured by my Longxiang sword!"

"Oh? Then split up and continue searching!" Atletico said.

The two were about to split up to search and arrest, when a guard ran over in a panic, saying that it was the emperor's order to let Guardian Xiao and Commander Ma go back.

"Why?" Xiao Yu asked puzzled.

"I don't know about the lowly position." The guard who sent the message replied.

Xiao Yu and Ma Jing rushed back to Qinghe Palace and saw the emperor, but his complexion was very bad, cloudy, sitting on the throne, motionless, a pair of eagle eyes was pressing towards the gate of the palace.

"Your Majesty, your humble position is incompetent, and you failed to capture the thief alive. Please forgive me!" Xiao Yu and Ma Jing knelt down.

"The thief ran away?" Nangong Muyan asked calmly.

"Run away, but he was injured by the Longxiang sword, I guessed that he would not be able to escape far, maybe he was hiding in..."

Nangong Muyan interrupted Xiao Yu's words with a wave of his hand, frowned and asked, "You said the thief was injured, where is the injury?"

Xiao Yu replied: "Back to the emperor, the injury is on the right arm."

Nangong Muyan paused, his hands trembled a little, and there was excruciating pain in his right arm. He had been trying his best to endure it, but beads of sweat kept dripping down his forehead.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Yu noticed his abnormality.

"No problem."

"Your Majesty, the thief was injured. He must be hiding in a corner of the palace now. Let the humble officer assist Commander Ma to hunt him down!"

Nangong Muyan said in a deep voice: "Okay, pass on my order and order everyone to stop the search and arrest operation!"

"Your Majesty, why?" Xiao Yu was very puzzled. He didn't understand why the emperor ordered to stop the search. In the past, the thief had to be found even if he dug three feet.

"There is no reason, Commander Ma will do as soon as possible!"

"Here!" Atletico Ma led the order to exit the Qinghe Hall.

"Xiao Huwei, come here!" Nangong Muyan beckoned, and when Xiao Yu approached, he lowered his voice and said, "I will send you to Ziye Kingdom tomorrow..."

After hearing the task ordered by the emperor, although Xiao Yu was full of doubts, he still knelt down and accepted the order.

"Back off! Tell Eunuch Lu to come in!"

"Here!"

Not long after, Eunuch Lu came in and came in front of Nangong Muyan.

"Show Jinhua Palace!"

"Now?" Eunuch Lu was puzzled, what's wrong with the emperor?Go to Jinhua Palace in the middle of the night?

"go quickly!"

"Here!" Even though he didn't understand why, Eunuch Lu still followed the order.

Inside the main hall, the candles were brightly lit, and Nangong Muyan sat alone on the throne, deep in thought.

He thought of the conversation he had with Grand Tutor Han Zhong at the beginning.

That was after Ziye Kingdom surrendered, and Xiao Qingming sent envoys to send a letter of surrender and a letter of dismissal...

Han Zhongjin said: "Has the emperor ever thought that maybe everything is a conspiracy? His Ziye Kingdom is a huge country, full of talents, and the number one general Liu Tao is invincible. How could he be in such an important place?" Making such low-level mistakes in battle? Asking his daughter to fight for him? Isn't there any contradiction in this?"

Nangong Muyan said disapprovingly: "In ancient times, Hua Mulan went to fight for his father, and now Liu Yunjin fights for his father. It is also an act of filial piety. He is extremely courageous and does not give way to a woman. What is there to doubt?"

"What if it's a beauty trick? It can't be ruled out that it's the Ziye Lord's trick. The purpose is to use Liu Yunjin to confuse the emperor, and judging from the current situation..."

Nangong Muyan didn't wait for Han Zhong to finish his analysis, he smiled and said, "I've already been tricked?!"

The candle flames danced flutteringly, Nangong Muyan sighed deeply in his heart when he came back to his senses, and muttered silently: "Liu Yunjin, Liu Yunjin, what should I do with you?"

-

On the other side, after Liu Yunjin was wounded and escaped, she took advantage of the darkness to evade searches by the guards, and finally fled back to the Jinhua Palace.

She hid in the crystal glazed bathroom in the hall, lit a candle, and a pale face due to excessive blood loss immediately appeared in the smooth copper mirror.

Her wound was still bleeding, and the blood had already soaked her night clothes. Enduring the pain, she took off the bloody clothes on her body, and wiped the blood around the wound with clean gauze.

When he was about to apply the medicine, he heard footsteps outside the hall, and a eunuch sang loudly: "The emperor is here!"

With a sound of "pa", Liu Yunjin's hand shook suddenly, the medicine bottle fell to the ground, and the medicine powder spilled all over the floor. She was shocked in her heart, wondering why Nangong Muyan would come at this hour.

Outside the hall, Wutong, Luluo and others ran out of the ear room when they heard that the emperor was coming, rubbed their sleepy eyes, and saw a large number of people coming outside, the emperor got off the Luanjia, and the palace lantern in the eunuch's hand was shining brightly. It's bright all around.

Everyone waited for a while, but they still didn't see the lights in the hall, nor did they see Liu Yunjin coming out to meet him, so they asked Wutong, "Ruyi, is your master here?"

"Yes... Yes, Miss must be asleep! I'll go and shout!"

Wutong was about to open the door, when the candlelight in the hall suddenly lit up, and Liu Yunjin, who was dressed in a bright red palace attire, appeared in front of everyone, exuding a sense of glamorousness all over her body.

She had no expression on her face, and instead of kneeling to greet him, she walked back and sat on a chair.

Nangong Muyan, who was dressed in a black embroidered dragon robe, appeared at the door. He walked in calmly and waved for others to back off.

He looked her up and down, staring at the weird red clothes on her body, and said: "The only person in this palace who doesn't take me seriously is you!"

Liu Yunjin glanced at him sideways and said, "Nangong Muyan, what do you want to do at this late hour?"

"Are you interrupting your rest?"

"What do you say?"

"I'll send you to rest!" He walked over as he said that, as if to hug her shoulder.

Liu Yun stood up vigorously, dodged away, stood opposite him and said, "I'm going to rest, please go back!"

Nangong Muyan shook his head with a wry smile in his heart, and said with a relaxed face: "No, I want to sleep with you!"

Like a rascal, he forcibly hugged her body horizontally. Liu Yunjin yelled, unable to tell whether it was because of fright or the pain in his arm.

The wound was in great pain, it must have burst open again, the blood soaked the red clothes, but luckily it was red, there was no clue.

Nangong Muyan hugged her while walking and said, "Did you know? There are thieves in Zishi Palace tonight!"

"Yes, is it?" Liu Yunjin's heart beat like thunder.

"The thief was injured by Guard Xiao and fled!" He calmly stated what happened at night.

"What kind of thief dares to break into the palace at night and die?" Liu Yunjin secretly swallowed.

"It's a bold female thief!"

"Have you seen what she looks like?" Liu Yunjin's heart was already jumping in her throat.
