Chapter 52 I Saved Your Life Again
"Sister Xi, let me make this clear beforehand: don't ask me anything about the boss."
Erhu said honestly and somewhat naively.
He didn't want to be lectured by Zhou Xianzong again.
"Don't worry, they won't come looking for you. Find two honest men to take me to the city."
Yingxi said something.
"Huh? What are we going to Tianwu City for?"
Erhu was stunned for a moment.
"Hmm... I suddenly feel like buying some things, like clothes for kids."
Yingxi's pretty face suddenly flushed slightly, and by the end, she herself was embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll go find two people right away."
Erhu nodded and then withdrew.
...
The next morning, Zhou Xianzong casually wrote a few notes in his diary, collected his reward, and then prepared to go into seclusion again.
But an inner disciple ran over and shouted at Zhou Xianzong.
"Senior Brother Zhou, there's a man outside who calls himself Dragon Blade looking for you."
"Dragon Blade? What's he doing here?"
Zhou Xianzong frowned slightly.
But I still went outside.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the sect, he saw Long Dao waiting for him beside the carriage.
Why are you here?
Zhou Xianzong asked.
When Long Dao saw him arrive, he quickly walked over.
"Your Highness, the Queen has asked me to invite you over."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianzong was taken aback.
What does my mother want with me?
Is she worried that I might do something rash?
What a joke! I don't like Luo Le'er anyway, so if she rejects me, so be it.
Let's go.
Zhou Xianzong said it casually.
The carriage moved quickly and soon arrived at the restaurant where Murong Mingyue was staying.
Zhou Xianzong entered the private room and saw Murong Mingyue tidying up the confidential scrolls on the table.
He immediately walked over and called out with a smile.
"Mother."
"To have a son."
Upon seeing Zhou Xianzong arrive, Murong Mingyue smiled happily.
"I was worried that what happened at the banquet might have some impact on you, making you feel discouraged. But it seems that things turned out quite well. You are indeed worthy of being my son, Murong Mingyue."
"Hehe, Mother, don't worry. How could a mere woman break my firm will?"
Zhou Xianzong said it jokingly.
"That's good."
Murong Mingyue patted his head, her eyes filled with reluctance as she spoke.
“Alas, your father wrote that the Zhou Dynasty’s borders have invaded again. I have to go back to help him, leaving you alone here. I am very worried.”
“Mother, there’s nothing to worry about. With my strength, there are few people in Tianwu City who can rival me. Besides, when I came to Tianwu City, didn’t you leave me two Imperial Guards? With them there, I’ll be fine.”
Zhou Xianzong offered a word of comfort.
The Imperial Guards he spoke of were loyal servants trained by the Zhou Dynasty royal family, who would only pledge allegiance to the royal family.
Moreover, they are powerful and adept at concealment.
Since Emperor Zhou Xianzong was not in any danger, the two imperial guards did not appear.
“It is precisely because my son is exceptionally talented that I fear someone might harm you. I would rather leave the Dragon Blade behind.”
Murong Mingyue was still somewhat worried.
Even though she was the Queen of Zhou and the most cunning woman in the world, in front of Emperor Xianzong of Zhou, she was just an ordinary mother.
"Mother, don't worry, there's no need to fret."
Zhou Xianzong shook his head slightly.
In the storyline, he faced no danger while in Tianwu City.
On the contrary, returning to the Zhou Dynasty later would greatly increase the risks.
Even two of the Imperial Guards were killed.
"Okay, if anything happens, be sure to let me know immediately."
Murong Mingyue smiled.
"I'm going back to the Zhou Dynasty soon. Is there anything you want? Your mother will grant it to you."
Zhou Xianzong waved his hand.
He wasn't the kind of person who indulged in extreme luxury, and he didn't have much interest in treasures or the like.
In his opinion, it would be better to have some food and drink; that would be more comfortable.
"Mother, how do you intend to resolve the issue with the Qingyang Sect?"
Zhou Xianzong asked about the matter that was of great concern to him.
After all, Luo Le'er had embarrassed him and Murong Mingyue at the banquet. What if Murong Mingyue hardened her heart and destroyed the Qingyang Sect?
That would be terrible.
"Luo Zhantian came by this morning and gave me all of Qingyang Sect's savings. Considering his sincerity and the fact that it's your sect, I didn't pursue the matter further."
When it came to serious matters, Murong Mingyue's tone became noticeably sharper.
Zhou Xianzong nodded.
He also understood that it would be effortless for the Zhou Dynasty to destroy the Qingyang Sect.
But Qingyang Sect was, after all, his sect. If it were destroyed, the news would not be good for the reputation of the Zhou Dynasty.
"By the way, speaking of the Qingyang Sect, that brat named Xiao Potian is quite the arrogant troublemaker. After I leave, the Dragon Blade will personally take his head. Daring to steal a woman from my son, he has no choice but to die."
Murong Mingyue's voice was slightly cold, and her words were filled with murderous intent.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianzong was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
My dear mother.
Don't kill Xiao Potian!
If he dies.
The plot has fallen apart.
She truly deserves to be called the most famous virtuous wife in the Zhou Dynasty, decisive in both killing and wielding.
He said he would kill someone, and immediately took Xiao Potian's life.
They really left absolutely no room for maneuver.
"Since you want to give birth yourself, then I won't interfere. If it's difficult, you can tell me anytime."
After considering it for a moment, Murong Mingyue felt that what Zhou Xianzong said made sense.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianzong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Emma.
That scared me to death.
Xiao Potian is, after all, a main character.
They're always about to die.
Holy crap.
Can you please be a little more efficient?
I saved your life again.
Damn it, you're useless.
Zhou Xianzong mentally grumbled a couple of times.
"Heh, he's just a piece of trash at the Qi Opening Realm. He can't cause any trouble. Killing him would be as easy as turning my hand."
"Your mother believes in you."
Murong Mingyue smiled and patted his head.
"Okay, go wait for me outside. I'll leave after I'm done packing."
"yes."
Zhou Xianzong nodded.
A short while later, Murong Mingyue came out and came to the carriage with Zhou Xianzong.
The mother and son chatted for a while longer before Murong Mingyue urged Long Dao to drive the carriage away.
After seeing Murong Mingyue off, Zhou Xianzong felt a little reluctant to part with her.
From these few interactions, he could sense it.
Murong Mingyue was indeed very good to her.
"Alas, I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse."
Emperor Xianzong sighed as he recalled the end of the Zhou Dynasty.
He turned around, just as he was about to return to Qingyang Sect, when a maid ran over.
"Your Highness, my master invites you to come over."
Zhou Xianzong looked at her and scratched his head.
I was thinking, "Where do all these meetings come from every day?"
Feeling somewhat annoyed, he waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to go.
Why go anywhere? Isn't it better to go back and tease Yingxi?
"By the way, Your Highness, my master's name is Mo Wu."
The maid added another sentence.
Holy crap.
Sister Mo?
What does she want from me again?
Zhou Xianzong was immediately somewhat depressed.
I wondered what was wrong with these female leads every day.
Why doesn't he go to Xiao Potian for tender moments and playful interactions, but instead keeps coming here to rub against me?
I didn't realize that such a passionate encounter could easily lead to trouble.
The key point is that he can't refuse.
"Okay, let's go."
Zhou Xianzong said something, sounding a bit agitated.
