He waited anxiously, but what he got was the words he said to Murong Qingyun when he was most helpless:
"You should sentence them to death. Insulting their late emperor in front of all the officials is detrimental to your reputation."
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. She never understood what kind of vicious heart the Queen had for Qian Yeming. She wanted to know if she would feel a trace of heartache and pity when she woke up in her dreams at midnight.
Qian Yeming was her biological son! How could she watch her son die tragically in front of her without doing anything, not even saying a word to him.
Thinking of this, Murong Xiao couldn't help but clench the fist hidden in her sleeve. Just as the queen passed by her, Murong Xiao raised her head.
Looking at the queen who was smiling and her eyes unconsciously glanced towards Murong Qingyun, Murong Xiao snorted in his heart.
You care about your eldest son, don't you? In this life, I'll let you experience what it's like to watch your eldest son being trampled, humiliated, and killed right in front of you!
She also wanted to see what the queen would do when Murong Qingyun died tragically in front of her.
After the emperor and empress walked past her, Murong Xiao also followed Qian Yeli towards the palace gate.
"Xiao'er." A helpless and self-blaming voice sounded beside Murong Xiao. Without looking, one could tell that it was Murong Qingyu.
But I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood after meeting your mother, and I'm also unhappy with you!
Murong Xiao still looked away, ignoring Murong Qingyun. With so many people around, Murong Qingyun couldn't pull her away, so she could only let her walk beside her with her brows lowered.
The blessing ceremony was complicated and time-consuming. Everyone stood facing the prayer platform, carefully watching how the Queen, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Religion, prayed.
About an hour later, when the blessing ceremony was coming to an end, one cough after another was heard, which was suppressed and struck Murong Xiao's heart, making her feel particularly distressed.
Looking up at the crescent moon, she had forgotten that today was the first day of the lunar month, the time when the moon waxes and wanes.
In her previous life, shortly after marrying Ming, she had used acupuncture to completely expel the cold symptoms caused by the toxins in his body. But in this life, she had not had the opportunity to be close to him for a long time. So, on the first day of every month, he had to endure the cold poison in his body.
If today wasn't the Emperor's birthday, he would have been stuck in the hot water by now. Murong Xiao felt depressed when he thought about how he would have to wait until the arranged marriage.
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have come today!
If she hadn't come, he wouldn't have waited for the opportunity to ask for a marriage. After the blessing ceremony, he could go back and take a hot bath on the pretext of feeling unwell.
Fortunately, just when Murong Xiao was so depressed that he wanted to rush up and smash the prayer table, the ceremony was finally completed.
When the emperor and the empress walked down the stairs, a eunuch came to Ming's side trotting with a black sable cloak in his arms and put the sable on him.
After tying the mink fur, she considerately handed him a thermos to warm his hands.
The eunuch's actions attracted the attention of all the foreign envoys who were unaware of the situation.
Nanyue was the southernmost of the six kingdoms, and nine of the twelve months of the year were summer-like. And now, it was the hottest season of the year in Nanyue. (Updated September 2nd)
