Chapter 249 Arrival

Is it that serious?

Murong Li's icy face showed a trace of emotion.

In his memory, the almighty emperor always seemed invincible. In his eyes and heart, there was only his throne and his country.

One day, these things he cares about most will leave him. Wouldn’t he be crazy?

"I understand. Eunuch Liu, please go down and rest. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Liu retreated and came out, wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead. The aura from the King of Li just now was so cold that it made him tremble in his heart.

After Eunuch Liu retired, Murong Li sat in the room for a long time with mixed feelings. To be honest, after hearing about the emperor's situation, he could neither feel happy nor sad.

It is not necessarily true to say that there was no father-son affection between him and the emperor. If there was, that insignificant affection had disappeared when he was exiled.

Murong Li sighed deeply before returning to the house and lying down beside Su Yue with his clothes on.

Su Yue was not asleep and had been listening with her mental power. Knowing that Murong Li was in a bad mood at the moment, she hugged him and fell asleep in his arms.

The next day, the team set out at dawn. Today's journey was much faster. With the support of people sent by the emperor, the journey was much calmer and no trouble was encountered.

After that, they rode at full speed all the way and finally arrived at the gate of the capital five days later.

Murong Li sat on a tall horse, looked up at the majestic city gate, took a long breath, waved his hand, and headed towards the city gate.

At the city gate, a eunuch was already waiting there. When Murong Li's horse entered the city, he hurried forward and knelt before the horse, saying loudly: "Your servant kowtows to the prince. Your servant has been ordered to bring the prince to the palace immediately. The emperor wishes to see the prince."

When the people entering and leaving the city heard this, they realized that this was Prince Li who had been recalled to the capital, and they all stopped to watch.

Only then did I see there was a long line of people behind me.

Murong Li saw the eunuch's behavior and understood something. He stared at the eunuch and coldly said two words: "Lead the way."

This was a show of force given to him by the prince, and he asked the eunuch to take him into the palace in public. He was afraid that he would not be able to leave the palace once he entered.

It seems that what Eunuch Liu said was true. The prince had taken control of the palace. As soon as he came back, he couldn't wait to bring him into the palace. He wanted to put him under house arrest in the palace.

It just depends on whether he has the ability to do so.

Murong Li suddenly turned around, came to Su Yue's carriage and asked her to get off.

Su Yue had already seen what was happening here. She immediately got off the carriage. Murong Li carried her onto the horse and then rode to the eunuch.

The eunuch took one look at Su Yue and realized that this was Murong Li's princess. He knelt down and greeted Su Yue: "Your servant greets Princess Li."

But I was happy in my heart. I didn't expect such a surprise.

Originally, the master intended to let Princess Li enter the palace with him. Prince Li's marriage was not held in the capital, and it had not yet been recorded in the emperor's jade records. Strictly speaking, Princess Li was not yet Princess Li. The master was afraid of being rejected, so he did not invite her along.

I didn't expect that Princess Li was so sensible and would come here to die voluntarily.

Moreover, Princess Li has entered the palace. Even though the Su family knows that something is wrong, so what? The eldest daughter of the Su family is in the palace, a real hostage. Are they afraid that he will cause trouble?

Hehe, this is a good job. The master will definitely reward you when you return.

The eunuch happily ran to a carriage in front, bowed to Murong Li, got on the carriage, and motioned Murong Li to follow.

Murong Li simply waved to General Li and others behind him, and immediately rode away.

When General Li and his men entered the imperial city, their mission was considered accomplished. They parted ways with General Yun and his men and returned to report.

The Su family watched Su Yue enter the palace and felt a little worried, but when they thought of her abilities, the whole family returned to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion.

Although the Marquis of Anding's Mansion was ransacked, the emperor did not move the house. It was not known whether he forgot about it or left it there on purpose. Anyway, it had been left there all the time. Now it was just an empty shell, and there was nothing left in the house.

General Yun’s mansion is still there as well, but it’s also an empty house.

The others who were pardoned were not so lucky. Their homes were confiscated and they were exiled for many years. Their original mansions were long gone, and they had to find a place to settle down on their own.

Some stayed in inns, some stayed with relatives and friends, in short, the team soon dispersed.

Murong Li followed the eunuch to the palace gate. They dismounted and tied up their horses, then walked into the palace with the eunuch.

Looking at this familiar palace, Murong Li had a feeling that things had changed a lot after only one year of opening. He just took a quick glance, then took Su Yue's hand and quickly followed the eunuch to the emperor's bedroom, Taigan Palace.

When Su Yue entered the palace, her mental power covered the entire palace. The palace looked much more desolate. It no longer had the prosperous scene it had just seen when she traveled through time and moved the emperor's treasury. The entire palace was unusually quiet.

Of course, this abnormality came from the imperial guards who were lying in ambush in the palace, all of them were eyeing them with a fierce look, as if they were ready to capture them.

Su Yue curled her lips. This prince really wanted to trap them in the palace. Others might be able to do it, but it was impossible for her.

The three of them soon arrived at the gate of Taigan Palace. There were layers of personal guards guarding the gate. The prince stood at the side of the door. When he saw Murong Li and the other two coming, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When he saw Su Yue's face, he was stunned for a moment. This woman was so beautiful. Thinking of his own important matter, the prince quickly returned to normal and said with a faint smile: "Welcome back to the capital, Fourth Brother."

Before Murong Li could speak, he looked at Su Yue and said, "Is this Miss Su?"

Su Yue rolled her eyes at him. Didn't he see that she had a woman's hairstyle? He still called her Miss Su. What the hell was he thinking?

She doesn't look good, but she always thinks about beautiful things. She doesn't even take a look at herself in the mirror. How can she be half as pretty as Murong Li?

The prince was at least a head shorter than Murong Li, and his facial features were merely regular. If he hadn't been wearing the bright yellow prince's robe, he wouldn't have stood out in the crowd. He also had dark circles under his eyes, a sign of excessive indulgence.

She cursed in her heart, but she still bowed to the prince: "Su greets the prince. I have already married Murong Li. The prince can call me Su or sister-in-law."

Su Yue was too lazy to flatter this scumbag.

"Yes, my brother the Crown Prince wouldn't forget the imperial decree granting the marriage."

Murong Li suppressed the anger in his heart and said through gritted teeth.

This bad guy actually set his sights on Yue'er, and treated her as meat on his chopping board?

The prince's face froze and his heart sank. These two people actually dared not to take him seriously. Give it back to me, haha, they will be in trouble later.

Then he smiled and said, "Then call me sister-in-law. Now that you are here, go in and see the emperor. He misses you very much."
