When Yu Qianqian came to her senses, she found herself locked up by Mu Feiyu, who had his bare hands gripping her throat and pinning her firmly in front of him, rendering her unable to make a sound or resist for the time being.
Mu Feiyu turned her gaze to Su Yu and Mu Beichen, who were standing side by side, and smiled coldly: "If you two don't want her to die, within half an incense stick's time, issue an order for everyone to leave the palace."
Upon hearing this, the two men turned around and exchanged a glance. Their expressions were different, but they also showed a rare tacit understanding. Two sharp gazes flashed over Mu Feiyu, and in that instant, they left their original positions without making a sound.
With a flick of his sleeve, Su Yu leaped off his horse and strode quickly toward the Phoenix Palace. He stopped only three feet away from her. From this angle, he could clearly see Yu Qianqian's face, which was alternating between red and white, and a deep ligature mark on her neck. He could imagine that if Mu Feiyu had used just a tenth more force, he could have easily snapped Yu Qianqian's throat.
Yu Qianqian slightly raised her eyes, and the handsome man with a full head of silver hair immediately came into view. Just one glance was enough to take her breath away. She suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and her clear, bright pupils glistened with tears.
I still remember that war before. Su Yu, as the leader of the seven kingdoms, could have easily conquered the Northern You Kingdom, but she had to change the situation because of her. And when she fell into the abyss and was about to die, it was this man who risked his life to save her. When the Jing Prince's Mansion was ambushed and suffered a great disaster, it was he who rushed over from afar to save it...
With Su Yu's unexpected appearance, all the past memories flooded back into her mind. She looked at the white-haired man so close to her, her mind in a daze. She slowly opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Su Yu stood still, not even glancing at Mu Feiyu, but staring intently back at Yu Qianqian, his eyes shifting. He felt that he had never before looked at this woman so seriously, face to face. Although his emotions were complicated, he had finally gotten what he wanted.
After a while, Mu Feiyu suddenly shouted coldly, "Pretty boy, my patience has its limits. If you dare to delay any longer, be careful, I will be merciless and break her neck!" He pulled his hand back and then tightened his grip on her knuckles. It was clear that Yu Qianqian's neck had been deformed by his grip, and her body swayed wildly. She almost fainted due to difficulty breathing.
Upon seeing this, Su Yu's expression changed abruptly. His previous calm demeanor vanished completely. He pointed angrily at Mu Feiyu and roared furiously, "Hmph! Mu Feiyu, stop dreaming about being emperor! Even if I don't act today, how can the world tolerate a traitor like you rebelling against the emperor? You murdered the emperor, indiscriminately killed innocent people, and now you're trying to use the name of avenging the country to confuse the world. You're just daydreaming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, even Mu Feiyu was startled. He paused and involuntarily took a step back, his hand still firmly gripping Yu Qianqian's throat, never loosening its grip an inch.
He inexplicably felt that those words had struck a nerve, and he never expected that the other party would guess his thoughts so perfectly. Over the years, he had indeed hesitated because he feared being branded a traitor. In the Golden Palace, the dragon throne he had longed for had been ceded to the foolish emperor Mu Qiye for so many years. It wasn't until he first met Yu Qianqian that he realized he had underestimated her. From that moment on, he had been plotting to seize power and rebel, but her actions had repeatedly surprised him. In the end, he had no choice but to fight a desperate battle.
Mu Feiyu glared angrily at Su Yu for a long time, but couldn't find the right words to retort.
