Wearing a phoenix robe adorned with dragons and phoenixes and a phoenix crown, Mu Run appeared exceptionally noble and domineering under the bright sunlight. Yet, her gentle and clear eyes also gave the impression that she was kind and virtuous, and that if she were to become a monarch in the future, she would be a benevolent and wise ruler.
However, the empress's virtue did not mean she was easy to bully, because she also had a tyrant, the Chongyang King, who single-handedly slaughtered an army of thousands.
Anyone who offends her will inevitably suffer the wrath of the King of Chongyang and end up with a tragic fate.
Standing atop the cloud chariot, receiving the gazes of countless people from all directions—some questioning, some expectant, some looking up in admiration, and some disdainful—she cared not about any of them. What she awaited was an unwavering gaze!
That is hatred!
Suddenly, a sharp, extremely venomous and furious gaze fell upon her face.
If looks could kill, Mu Run was absolutely certain that this look could tear her to pieces.
She glanced in that direction, seemingly unintentionally.
All she saw was a pinkish-white shadow, which vanished in an instant. At the same time, the sinister gaze that had been fixed on her disappeared.
The other party is too vigilant; they won't be easy to catch.
We can only wait for a more suitable opportunity.
The cloud carriage continued forward, and after exiting the city gate, the other party did not reappear.
However, Mu Run had a premonition that the other party would come looking for her, and when they reappeared, it would be a fight to the death.
Mu Run then boarded a large, comfortable carriage with auspicious cloud patterns from the caravan.
Fu Yunchen was preparing food for the two children. This trip out of the city took a full hour, and she was exhausted and hungry.
"Give me a chicken leg to gnaw on." Mu Run wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then asked Fu Yunchen for a roasted chicken leg.
Fu Yunchen handed her a plump, large one, saying, "It's here now."
"The other party was very alert. It only looked at me for less than half a breath before fleeing. But I could sense it following me, just waiting for an opportunity to ambush me." Mu Run took a big bite of chicken leg meat, chewing it with juicy, fragrant oil.
Fu Yunchen replied, "It's good to take it out of the city, so that innocent people won't be harmed when a fight breaks out."
"Mother, what did you take out of the city?" Huanhuan asked.
Mu Run looked at Fu Yunchen and said, "You tell the kids that I'm eating."
"They'll find out when the time comes. The sooner we face it, the sooner we'll be able to deal with it." Fu Yunchen took a cloth and wiped the bits of minced meat from the corner of her mouth. "I'll take care of the rest. You just need to eat well, rest well, and go with the child to worship the mountain god, and everything will be fine."
"Isn't Father coming with us?" Tuantuan asked.
Fu Yunchen replied, "Yes, Father has a few things to do, but it will be over soon."
"I want to hear more stories from Father. Father, please come back soon."
"Then you must behave and not cause trouble for your mother with your sister. She has a little brother in her belly now, so you must be careful not to bump into him."
"I understand, Father. I will protect Mother."
"Tuantuan is really reliable." Fu Yunchen patted its head.
Huanhuan also said, "I will protect my mother and younger brother too."
"Okay, Huanhuan is great too."
"Ignore them, go do your work." Mu Run looked at the three of them, all lovey-dovey, wondering if they were even going to get anything done.
Fu Yunchen smiled and said, "Take a rest after you've eaten your fill."
"Okay, okay, why are you being so long-winded?"
After giving a few more instructions, Fu Yunchen got out of the carriage.
The gray shadows swirling above his head told him that there were corpses following him, and more than one.
