Chapter 255: Finale, Secure the Kingdom
"My lady, you are absolutely right. I just said the wrong thing and I deserve to be beaten!" Mu Xingci said with a smile.
"You really deserve a beating!" Yun Wansheng lightly pinched the back of his hand.
"My wife loves her husband so much that it doesn't hurt at all when she hits me." Mu Xingci held her little hand and kneaded it with a slight smile on his lips.
"Yes! I feel sorry for you. Go eat! After you finish eating, go get some sleep. You have dark circles under your eyes."
"Okay! Listen to my lady, do you want to eat some more?"
"No! I ate too much this morning. I'll go for a walk in the garden later." Yun Wansheng said.
"I'll go accompany you after I finish eating." Mu Xingci said.
"No need. What you need to do now is eat and sleep. Go quickly! I'm going out." Yun Wansheng said, then stood up and walked out, followed closely by four maids.
Mu Xingci knew that the woman was concerned about him, so when he saw her leave, he went to the dining room.
But just as he sat down, he saw Xiao Fei walked in with a slightly panicked look on his face: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the spy." As he said that, he handed the letter over.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci quickly opened the letter. After reading it, he laughed and said, "He finally couldn't hold it back anymore."
"Prince Regent, is there any movement from Prince Yu's side?"
"Yes! Now his men are leading troops to surround the entire capital.
He thought that blocking the four city gates would prevent my people from coming to rescue you, but he was wrong.
Xiao Fei, gather all the troops we have arranged in advance in the capital, we are going to rescue the emperor."
Xiao Fei immediately became alert when he heard this: "Yes!"
As soon as he left, Mu Xingci called Qiyi over and said, "Send someone to notify the Prime Minister and the Supreme Court. How can such a serious matter be without an eyewitness?"
"Yes!" Qi Yi walked out excitedly.
Mu Xingci looked at the sunlight outside the window with dark eyes: "The weather is going to change!"
On that day, the entire capital was in a state of fighting, and the people were so scared that they closed their doors and stayed at home, not daring to go out.
At that time, every street in the capital was filled with bloodshed, corpses were scattered everywhere, and blood flowed like a river. The same was true in the imperial palace.
Yun Wansheng listened to the guard's report and her mood was up and down all day. She was afraid that Mu Xingci would fail to save the emperor. This made her spend the whole day in anxiety. It was not until the second half of the night that she saw the man who made her worried come back.
"Are you injured?" Yun Wansheng saw blood stains on his body and hurried forward to ask with concern.
"I'm fine. It's just someone else's blood that splattered on me." Mu Xingci smiled gently at her, as if he was not the same person as the murderous man who was in the palace just now.
"I'm glad you're okay. Was the little emperor also rescued?"
"No, we went a step too late. Xiahou Qing forced him to write the edict of succession, but the little emperor refused to do it. When Xiahou Qing saw us breaking into the palace, he killed his nephew.
He thought that as long as the little emperor died, he would be the only pure descendant of the Xiahou royal family, and he would naturally ascend to the throne.
Unexpectedly, fate played a trick on him. Before his death, the little emperor gave him a handful of poison, causing him to die of poisoning. "Mu Xingci said with a slight smile on his face.
It was he who gave the poison, under the pretext of letting the little emperor protect himself, but in fact it was prepared for Xiahou Qing.
He let the palace maids and eunuchs intentionally or unintentionally reveal the death of the Empress Dowager to the young emperor. Then he would definitely think that his mother's death was caused by his uncle. How could he not seek revenge?
But he didn't dare to tell Yun Wansheng about his dark side. He was afraid that she would think he was a sinister and cunning bad man who would not even let a child go.
But if it wasn't for self-protection, how could he have plotted to take over the Xiahou royal family's kingdom?
Everyone thought that he advocated the unification of the Three Kingdoms, but who knew that he was doing so under the emperor's order.
If they win, everyone will be happy, but if they lose, the Mu family will suffer the disaster of being wiped out.
As a military general, he knew very well what the unification of the Three Kingdoms would bring to him. A general whose achievements surpassed his lord would not have a good ending.
Therefore, while he was fighting, he was also planning a way to survive. The late emperor's illness did not come out of thin air. It was he who asked the imperial physician Su to make him half to death.
He, Xiahou Lian, wants to reap the benefits by taking the lives of the Mu family, so I will take his kingdom and his people. It’s fair!
Yun Wansheng didn't know what he was thinking. When she heard that, she said, "Ah? Then... then in this case, Xiahou Qing's youngest son can become emperor?" Yun Wansheng naturally thought of a possibility.
"Does he have a young son? You may not know this, but Xiahou Qing's son is actually a girl. There's no way she could become the next emperor."
"Oh my god...how could there be such a ridiculous thing?"
"Ever since his princess became pregnant, Xiahou Qing has been hoping for a boy, but the child turned out to be a girl.
His princess was afraid of disappointing him, so she lied and said it was a boy, thinking she would tell him the truth after she actually gave birth to a son. But they didn't expect that time to come.
"Then who will rule the Shun Shang Kingdom?" Yun Wansheng blinked slightly.
"Who do you think can do it?" Mu Xingci looked at her with a smile.
Yun Wansheng saw that he smiled naturally and calmly: "It can't be you, right?" At the moment, only this damn man has this ability, so she can't guess who else it is.
Mu Xingci laughed out loud when he heard this: "My lady is really smart. Congratulations, you will be my queen from now on."
Yun Wansheng's heartbeat quickened when she heard him say that: "You really became the emperor?"
"Well! My dear wife, you should be ready to follow me into the palace in a few days! Then it will be just you and me, and no one will disturb us anymore." As he said that, he pulled her into his arms and wanted to kiss her.
Yun Wansheng reached out and covered his mouth: "Go take a shower first, aren't you tired?"
"Do you dislike me?" Mu Xingci lowered his head and looked at his dirty body.
"Hey! Don't forget, I'm not alone now. Your son and daughter are still in my belly! I'm afraid that the smell of blood on you will scare them." Yun Wansheng said, covering her big belly.
Mu Xingci instinctively wanted to touch her belly, but the woman's small hand rudely pushed his palm aside.
"Go take a shower first! I'll rub your back." Yun Wansheng patted his cheek and smiled softly.
"Forget it! How can I let you serve me in this state? Just go back to bed and wait for me." Mu Xingci said with a slight smile on his lips, and went to the water room.
The maid waiting in the room found him some clean clothes and brought them in.
Yun Wansheng felt that what she had just heard was like a dream. Was she really the queen?
An earth-shaking change allowed Yun Wansheng to enter the palace and become the virtuous queen of Shun Shang Kingdom.
A few months later, the arrival of a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, made the couple so happy that they couldn't stop smiling all day long.
Half a year has passed in a flash. It is spring time with lush vegetation and pleasant spring breeze.
Yun Wansheng was writing her novel when she had nothing to do, and finally finished the book.
When she had tidied herself and was writing her pen name on the book cover, Mu Xingci suddenly walked in, catching her off guard. She could only turn the book over with a slightly panicked look on her face.
When Mu Xingci saw her guilty look, he became suspicious and snatched the book away from her.
When he saw the wet ink on the cover, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Yun Xi? Isn't this the world-famous author of strange stories?"
"Uh! You know her too?"
"Of course, he's so famous that I have to know him. Not to mention, the strange stories he wrote are quite interesting, especially the ones describing the love between men and women, which really touched my heart.
"Hey? That's not right! How did you get his original work?" Mu Xingci asked, flipping through the contents.
"Uh! This is... this is just a friend who asked me to nominate her." If this bastard knew that she wrote those strange stories, he would laugh at her.
"Nomination? The whole book? The handwriting inside and outside is the same, you are kidding me! I think you are that Yun Xi?" Mu Xingci looked at the embarrassed look of the woman and couldn't help but smile cunningly.
Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Yun Wansheng pretended to be generous and admitted: "What's wrong with me? Can't I just kill time?"
"Okay! It seems that my lady wanted to be her husband at that time, right? Otherwise, how could she write about the intimate parts between men and women in such depth?" Mu Xingci smiled wickedly and carried her to the table.
"Who missed you? I just needed it for the plot!" She refused to admit that she missed him!
"Really? I clearly remember you describing a scene where a man and a woman were passionately embracing each other on a table. Why don't we actually demonstrate it now and see if it feels like what you described?"
Mu Xingci's low voice bewitched the woman's ears, and his palm also teased her.
Any words the woman wanted to refuse were swallowed up by him in the passionate kiss, and then he began to invade her with love according to the plot he remembered.
