Su Muxi knew that Qiao Xiuyuan was threatening her.
If she doesn't go with Qiao Xiuyuan, then Qiao Xiuyuan will lead his men in and slaughter everyone in the mansion without saying a word.
But the more this was the case, the more certain she became that Qiao Xiuyuan was forging an imperial edict!
Therefore, she absolutely must not open the door!
The only option now is to delay as much as possible.
After the Emperor meets Qiao Ziming and Qiao Zixian, he will surely order Qiao Xiuyuan to be summoned.
However, before Su Muxi could figure out how to stall for time, Qiao Xiuyuan outside the door made a move; he actually ordered his men to start ramming the door.
Hearing the deafening "bang bang" sounds and the trembling gates of the Prince's Mansion, Su Muxi knew that Qiao Xiuyuan had made preparations for tonight.
They even brought a battering ram!
This was prepared in advance because we had anticipated that she wouldn't open the door!
McQueen quickly organized the guards to guard the gate.
Su Muxi shouted angrily, "Qiao Xiuyuan, are you trying to force your way in?! This is the capital! You've forged an imperial edict and mobilized the Imperial Guards without authorization—are you trying to rebel?!"
However, the ramming outside did not stop at all because of these words, clearly indicating that these Imperial Guards were not kept in the dark, but were Qiao Xiuyuan's men!
Su Muxi continued to shout, "Qiao Xiuyuan, have you considered the consequences of doing this?! This is the capital city! Even if you can take me away, so what?!"
Unless you can control all the Imperial Guards in the capital, you have no chance of escaping. Even if you did, the Tiger Cavalry Battalion outside the city has so many troops that you certainly wouldn't be able to escape!
After saying that, she felt that Qiao Xiuyuan's actions were probably not just to kidnap her, but rather to use her to threaten Ye Zeyu or something.
So he hurriedly added, "The Emperor doesn't value Prince Yong'an. If you want to rebel, arresting me is useless! You can only use me to threaten Prince Yong'an, but Prince Yong'an can't threaten the Emperor in the slightest!"
Finally, Qiao Xiuyuan spoke after hearing Su Muxi's words.
"Xi'er, you're wrong. I never intended to use you to threaten anyone. I just wanted to take you away!"
Nineteen years ago I was too late, but this time, no matter what, I will take you with me!
"Ying'er, open the door and come with me. Now we can finally be together!"
Others might find it strange that Qiao Xiuyuan used two different names for him, but Su Muxi knew why.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xiuyuan had such a strong obsession with her mother, Yun Ying.
They actually did something so crazy!
After tonight, Qiao Xiuyuan will surely die!
So Qiao Xiuyuan wants to die with her!
madman!
What a madman!
"Qiao Xiuyuan, is it worth it for a woman? Your ambition should be used for rebellion, not for a woman who has been dead for many years! I am not Yun Ying, I am Su Muxi, the current Princess Consort of Yong'an! Wake up!"
Su Muxi couldn't care less about anything else now.
As long as it delays Qiao Xiuyuan, I'll say anything.
There are only a dozen or so guards in the entire palace now. Even if they are all highly skilled in martial arts, they would probably be helpless against Qiao Xiuyuan, who came prepared.
If the door breaks down, the consequences will be unimaginable.
To her surprise, the door was kicked open by someone outside as soon as she finished speaking.
The moment the door was flung open, Su Muxi saw Qiao Xiuyuan's face.
At this moment, Qiao Xiuyuan had tears on his face!
Could it be that Qiao Xiuyuan cried because she just mentioned Yun Ying?
The Imperial Guards who rushed in did not hesitate at all, drawing their swords and slashing, looking extremely ferocious.
"Protect the Princess!"
McQueen was desperately fighting off the Imperial Guards in front of him while shouting loudly.
This sound brought Su Muxi back to her senses from her shock.
"Stop! Qiao Xiuyuan! I told you to stop!"
Su Muxi tore off her veil and roared loudly.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xiuyuan actually obeyed and told them to stop.
In the blink of an eye, two of the guards in the Prince's mansion had died, and Mai Kun was also injured, his clothes soaked in blood. This disheveled appearance was something Su Muxi had never seen before.
In her memory, McQueen and his gang were all very capable; killing people was as easy for them as cutting melons and vegetables.
Unexpectedly, they appeared so vulnerable when facing the Imperial Guards brought by Qiao Xiuyuan.
"Ying'er, it's you! It's you, isn't it?"
Qiao Xiuyuan stepped forward, his face full of excitement, but his eyes were filled with caution as he stared straight at Su Muxi, as if afraid that the person in front of him would suddenly disappear.
This mad appearance made Mai Kun and the others even more wary, and they surrounded Su Muxi even tighter, waiting for Qiao Xiuyuan to get any closer before they would swing their knives and chop off his head.
However, Qiao Xiuyuan did not get too close. Instead, he stood about ten meters away from Su Muxi and reached out his hand to her.
"Ying'er, come here, come to my side."
Su Muxi patted Mai Kun, who was blocking her way, signaling him to move aside. After a moment's hesitation, Mai Kun made way for Su Muxi.
He knew that the princess was stalling for time, hoping that the prince would return soon!
Su Muxi shook her head at Qiao Xiuyuan, "If I go with you, the only outcome will be death, won't it? If you really like me, you shouldn't put me in danger, you should protect me, shouldn't you?"
Tears welled up in Qiao Xiuyuan's peach blossom eyes again as he looked at Su Muxi in the firelight. The scene that had been lingering in his mind for nineteen years seemed to gradually overlap with the scene before him.
