Today, the empress encountered an enemy, a very terrifying and powerful enemy who could easily defeat her.
In full view of everyone, the empress was controlled by him, her whole body stiff and unable to move.
The civil and military officials were helpless, and the enemy leader laughed at them wantonly.
The empress was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She glared at the woman who was almost laughing and yelled, "Mu Yunzhu! Get your son away from me!"
Yes, the enemy the empress encountered was a two-year-old baby who held on to her legs and refused to let go.
Mu Yunzhu's son.
The little brat hadn't even grown all his teeth yet, was chubby, and was wearing foreign clothing and a headband with coral beads on his head. He looked like a very cute human cub.
But Xiao Li had never held a child in her past or present life, and she really didn't know how to face this fragile and scary creature. Then, when he was suddenly hugged by him, she froze in place, at a loss.
Everyone around could see that the empress was facing a great enemy and rushed forward to rescue her.
There were attempts to coax him, but the child didn't understand the coaxing at all and didn't react at all.
Some people tried to take action, but don't underestimate this little kid, he is very strong. If you don't use enough force, you won't be able to pull it out at all. If you use too much force, you might be able to dislocate his arm.
Although he wanted to save the empress, he would not kill a child.
Red Moon and Blue Moon had toys and delicacies brought, but nothing could tempt the child.
It was as if he had set his eyes on the empress, holding on tightly and refusing to let go.
Song Junzhan and Rong Qing were at a loss. Even Lou Yan went forward to try, but this little brat had no idea what scaring was.
Everyone looked at the empress helplessly: Your Majesty, we are incompetent and the enemy is too powerful.
In the end, it was Xiao Li who made up his mind, closed his eyes, and picked up the child.
“Hehehe!”
The little brat was instantly happy. He looked at Xiao Li and grinned, saying arrogantly: "Mom."
Xiao Li was so frightened that his eyelids twitched. He suddenly stuffed the child into Lou Yan's arms and rushed directly towards Mu Yunzhu.
"Mu! Yun! Zhu!!"
Mu Yunzhu was so scared that she ran away, shouting as she ran: "Your Majesty, Tianci just likes you. If you are angry, beat him up. Why hit me..."
This is the mother. She would never let her son be blamed. She never thought that it was because she laughed too loudly and made others hate her.
Mu Yunzhu was eventually captured. At the critical moment, she hugged the empress's waist and said, "I have sent 30,000 high-quality horses and 1,000 Ferghana horses to Your Majesty."
Looking at the fist that was less than an inch away from her cheek, Mu Yunzhu smiled ingratiatingly: "I will make amends, Your Majesty, please calm down!"
After saying that, she rubbed Xiao Li's fist with her charming and seductive face, successfully forcing Xiao Li to retreat three steps.
When the crisis came, Mu Yunzhu quickly waved to her son: "Xiao Tianci, come here quickly."
Xiao Li's eyebrows jumped: "What's his name?"
"Xiao Tianci."
Mu Yunzhu said as if it was a matter of course: "I gave birth to him in your majesty's princess palace. Your majesty is also half his mother, so he should have your surname."
So it really is 'Xiao', not Xiao.
Xiao Li didn't mind his last name, but she didn't want to be a mother without any pain.
"Don't let him scream."
The little girl came over, looked up at Xiao Li, and wanted to reach out and hug her, but when she saw the scene of Xiao Li chasing and beating Mu Yunzhu just now, she was a little scared.
He looked at her timidly: "Mother."
Xiao Li glared at him fiercely, and the little kid instantly pouted in grievance, grabbing Mu Yunzhu's foot and saying, "Mom, mother doesn't like me..."
Mu Yunzhu picked up her son and held him in her arms, comforting him softly, "It's okay, mother just doesn't know you well enough. Once she gets to know you for a while, she'll definitely like you very much."
As he spoke, he clenched Xiao Tianci's small fist and said, "We are men like eagles. We must have the courage to be rejected by women."
Xiao Li's face turned black: "Mu Yunzhu, what kind of nonsense are you teaching your son?"
But the little brat still looked very serious, as if he took it as a golden rule: "Yeah, I get it."
Xiao Li was speechless: You little brat, your teeth haven’t even grown yet, what do you know about shoveling!
Seeing that Xiao Li didn't like the child that much, Mu Yunzhu asked the maid to take the child away.
Seeing the empress's relaxed expression, Mu Yunzhu couldn't help laughing. Who would have thought that such a powerful empress would be afraid of a child? However, the empress also had to save face, so she saw the truth but didn't say anything.
"I'm happy to come to Longsheng again and see His Majesty like this."
When the empress was injured and unconscious, she was still in the princess's mansion and had not given birth yet. After she gave birth and left, the empress had not woken up yet.
She liked the Empress very much, and she had done her a favor, so she had been praying in her heart that the Empress would wake up.
Now that she saw the living Empress, her worries of the past two years could finally be put to rest.
Xiao Li glanced at Mu Yunzhu, then turned and walked towards the imperial study.
Xiao Li wanted to unify the world, and Chi Rong was naturally included in it. She glanced through it and the content was enough for her to tolerate Mu Yunzhu's rudeness of using the child to scare her.
In order to resist fate, Mu Yunzhu got together with her nominal stepson and became pregnant.
In order to escape death, she came to Longsheng to give birth to a child, while Huyan Li fled to the snow-capped mountains.
Mu Yunzhu gave birth to the child and took him back when the child was half a year old. Hu Yanli came back with his men as promised and seized his father's Hu Yun tribe, but he also brought back other pregnant women.
According to the rules of the Chirong people, the son inherits the father's property, and all women except the biological mother can inherit.
Mu Yunzhu naturally became Hu Yanli's woman, but she was not his legal wife, but a concubine.
Hu Yanli has power and has other women. Although he still has some affection and interest in Mu Yunzhu, he no longer listens to her.
As for what Mu Yunzhu said before, about taking down Chi Rong and making the empress submit, he treated it as a joke.
So, Mu Yunzhu instigated a war between her second brother, the new king of Chirong, and the Huyun tribe, and killed Hu Yanli with her own hands.
Her son was from the Huyan family. Relying on her son and her identity as Princess Chirong, she became the leader of the Huyun tribe.
Xiao Li likes beautiful and controllable things. Although they are just vases, they are pleasing to the eye.
But she admires more the tough and strong souls, the vigorous and unyielding ones.
Mu Yunzhu is beautiful, ruthless and decisive.
Xiao Li likes her.
As for that child... well, let's put that aside for now.
Xiao Li still couldn't like the child, especially since the child called him mother, which made him even more disgusted.
"Thirty thousand steeds are in the river valley where the Chirong entered. I've brought the other thousand Ferghana horses with me. They're just outside the city."
Mu Yunzhu knew what she could do to impress the empress, and she tried her best to make the arrangements.
Sure enough, Xiao Li turned around as he was about to enter the study and said, "Let's go and take a look."
