Concubine is always vicious

Chapter 106

Holding the token given to her by Huo Tianchen, An Huan walked unimpeded wherever she went. Along the way, she saw countless civil and military officials who were just like her, with hurried steps and stern faces, as well as Li Mu.

He didn't know if it was due to his illusion, but he found that when Li Mu looked at her, there was an inexplicable meaning in Li Mu's eyes.It was as if I had seen Li Mu a long, long time ago... No, to be precise, I should have seen that pair of eyes.

But speaking of it, she is not familiar with Li Mu, this feeling is really strange.

But now is an extraordinary period, so she didn't think much about it, she shook her head to get rid of distracting thoughts, and followed all the civil and military officials to Huo Tianchen's bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, the civil and military ministers were all stopped, as were Huo Tianchen's concubines. The concubines were shocked to hear the bad news, and each of them had obvious signs of crying, their eyes were red and swollen, and weeping quietly.

Here, even with the token in hand, it became difficult to use, and An Huan was stopped together.

She also didn't want to listen to the uneasy comments of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Her fists were tightly clenched all the time, and her nerves were also tense.

Huo Tianchen's life and death itself involved the fate of Kaitian City and even the entire Xingluo Dynasty. His death would undoubtedly cause an imbalance between the parties in the game.

The seemingly stable Kaitian City is bound to cause great chaos. The unwilling seventh prince Huo Tianlan, the eccentric Queen Mother Li, the powerful general Li Mu, and the unknown second prince Zhao Wuji will all swarm up. , to participate in this contest.

All the contradictions and disputes will inevitably be concentrated on Huo Tianxiao. In this case, it is not known whether Huo Tianxiao can withstand the pressure.

An Huan's mind was complicated and inexplicable, and she was eager to go in to see the situation. What she didn't notice was that Li Mu stood behind her and sized her up for a long time.

In the dormitory, there were always only people who went out but not people who came in. The people who came out were all court ladies and eunuchs. They were caught and questioned by civil and military officials, but they didn't know what to ask.

All kinds of indications showed that Huo Tianchen's situation should be very critical, otherwise these court ladies and eunuchs who were close to him would not dare to speak easily as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Feeling like thousands of ants crawling across her heart, An Huan couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to take advantage of the situation to rush in, but just as she moved, she was pulled down by a hand.

"Princess Xiaoyao, wait a minute," the man said.

An Huan turned her head and saw that it was Li Mu, she was slightly startled, "Is the general okay?"

Li Mu asked with a smile, "Is the princess trying to force her way in?"

"Is there a problem?" An Huan asked.

"Of course there is a problem. I'm afraid the princess doesn't know. After King Xiaoyao came over, he secretly mobilized the killer in Fengwu Tower. Now the whole palace is under strict security. Anyone who trespasses without his permission, Kill without mercy," Li Mu said.

The way he spoke seemed very relaxed, as if he didn't care about Huo Tianchen's life or death at all. He didn't know whether he had resentment towards Huo Tianchen or he had extremely strong self-confidence. He thought that even if the entire Kaitian City was messed up, he could still take care of himself alone.

However, the information he provided let An Huan know that she had saved her life invisibly.

The killer in the Fengwu Tower only listened to Huo Tianxiao's orders, even if they were the orders of the emperor and the queen mother, she would ignore them. Even if she was Princess Xiaoyao, it would be a death sentence if she entered.

With a pale face, she said to Li Mu, "Thank you."

Li Mu shook his head, "You don't need to thank me, I just reminded the princess. The civil and military ministers know about this matter, but seeing the princess like this, she doesn't seem to know."

When he said this, it sounded like he was defending himself, but it still made An Huan feel a little puzzled. She didn't talk to anyone else. How could Li Mu know that she didn't know about this matter?
Could it be that he has been secretly watching her?
However, she is not an important person. Now that the situation is so complicated, there are many people worth noting. How could Li Mu waste his mind on her?

She thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on, and said with a wry smile, "My lord entered the palace immediately after hearing the news. It happened so suddenly. I came here later, and I didn't get my lord's attention." permission, so I didn’t know about it.”

"Oh." Li Mu nodded meaningfully, and then said, "Princess, you should be careful. Although the whole palace seems to be impenetrable, it can't stop some people. If you are not careful, what happened? Not good."

This was undoubtedly a word of concern, but when it came out of Li Mu's mouth, An Huan felt unspeakably awkward.

Li Mu's tone was casual, as if he had known her for a long time and cared about a friend.

But obviously, the two of them rarely even meet each other. Before that, they hadn't even been able to say a word.

She had no way of doubting Li Mu's intentions, but felt that something was wrong.

So she said, "It's okay, I can protect myself."

Li Mu smiled wryly, "Isn't the concubine's skill not yet fully recovered?"

"I..." Realizing that she had inadvertently uttered a big word, An Huan became more and more uncomfortable.

However, Li Mu didn't notice her appearance at all, and still smiled, "If the princess doesn't mind, you can stay by my side. If something happens, I can help the princess to block it."

"No need, the general has a lot of work, so you should go and do your own thing." An Huan refused without hesitation.

Regardless of being courteous, rape or stealing, although she doesn't think there is anything worthy of Li Mu's attention in herself, it is better to be careful in everything.As she spoke, she strode away a few steps. Just at this moment, an imperial doctor came out from the inside, and all civil and military officials surrounded her. She was crowded in the crowd, just keeping a long distance from Li Mu.

A trace of loneliness flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and his gaze stayed on An Huan, and he couldn't take it back for a long time.

……

The imperial doctor's words were flickering, vague, and he picked out some irrelevant things. Obviously he had received some warnings in the palace, so he dared not say more, but the meaning revealed, let people guess, and they can guess roughly.

An Huan sighed in her heart, maybe Huo Tianchen really wouldn't survive tonight, right?
All civil and military officials also had grim expressions on their faces. The people who were still discussing before, at this moment, all chose to remain silent.

No one dared to think deeply about what would happen if Huo Tianchen died.

The night sky is still full of stars and the moon is bright and clear, but it is faint, giving people a sense of oppression that the storm is about to come.

This night, Huo Tianlan didn't show up, and neither did Empress Dowager Li. The General's Mansion was still the same General's Mansion. Zhao Wuji arrived late, and there were a few more elite guards behind him.

Everything reveals an unusual meaning.

Most of the night has passed, and all the people are waiting for the dawn outside the bedroom. They all know that the result will be announced in front of the people of the whole country in the early morning tomorrow.

However, this night seemed to become extra long because of this sad atmosphere, as if a thick layer of ink had been poured into the sky, and it could no longer be dawned.

The feeling that the storm is coming is so depressing and uncomfortable. The distortion and darkness in everyone's heart is growing and spreading crazily.

The dawn of the next day was long overdue.

The thin golden sunlight enveloped the entire imperial palace in a lazy and powerless manner. The towering towering and colorful pavilions floated in mid-air as if they were tangible and qualitative, and they could no longer shine.

Under the palace wall, there are countless dark and cold corners, but there is still no temperature at all. The walking ladies and eunuchs, one by one, held their breath, moving cautiously, and each of them looked tense, for fear of alarming anyone. .

And outside Huo Tianchen's bedroom, those civil and military ministers who had been stationed all night were so tired that they couldn't even open their eyes, but they still had to force them to open their eyes wide, staring at everything at the door, even if it was just a little passing by. Eunuchs can't let go.

An Huan was seriously injured by Bei Gongxun yesterday, and she didn't sleep all night, she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist, and she didn't know if it was because the autumn rain and dew were too cold, she felt very sick. cold.

At this time, it would be nice to have a cup of hot tea, but unfortunately, no one will pay attention to her, even the emperor's concubines are all neglected, not to mention that she is just an unfavored princess That's all.

At the corner of his mouth, a wry smile appeared at some point.

Although it seemed that such persistence and waiting didn't make any sense, she had already regarded Huo Tianchen as a friend after getting along for many days. She didn't have many friends, so she cherished it very much.

With a low sigh, she thought to herself, Huo Tianxiao hasn't come out after this time, maybe last night was just a false alarm.

Thinking like this, suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder.

An Huan was slightly startled, and when she saw that it was Li Mu, she frowned.

"You..." She wanted to ask Li Mu what she was going to do, but a warmth emanated from Li Mu's palm, along her shoulders, warming her body very quickly, dispelling her chill, If you ask, you will naturally swallow it in your stomach.

"Is it still cold?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

He has always been unsmiling, few people have seen him smile, and everyone is in awe of the killing intent emanating from him that kills thousands of people, and everyone avoids him like a tiger, but no one knows that when he smiles , will be so beautiful.

It seems that he is very unaccustomed to laughing, so the arc drawn by this smile on his face is not very big, it is just a slight outline of his lips, but even so, the resolute curve on his face is still like melting ice and snow. Unbelievably soft.

An Huan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he smiled so kindly, and kept smiling stiffly like this, as if he was trying hard to appear harmless to humans and animals, but what did he want to do?

He asked her if she was cold?Could it be that he had been paying attention to her last night?
She is just an unfavored concubine, there are so many court officials here, and some concubines favored by Huo Tianchen, presumably, no matter who you pay attention to, it is more valuable than paying attention to her, right?

Frowning further, An Huan nodded and said thank you.

The two words are polite, without any emotional expression, but when Li Mu heard these two words for the second time, his heart was still shocked again.

A look of surprise flashed across his face, but the smile became more intense, and he said, "You're welcome, it should be."

An Huan smiled back, took a step sideways indistinctly, away from the range of his palm, and then stood still.

The body became a lot warmer due to the infusion of internal force, but the hands exposed outside the sleeves were still cold, but it was this icy cold that made An Huan wake up a lot.

She was thinking about Li Mu's purpose of paying attention to her.

Usually a person is so attentive to another person, unless they have deep feelings for each other, otherwise, it is impossible to have no purpose.

But she thinks that she has nothing to do with Li Mu, and no one can see Li Mu's intentions. When it comes to using her, there is no way to use her, right?
