The news that the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom had been assassinated in his study was only discovered by the people of the Eagle Kingdom half an incense stick later.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyao had already changed her clothes.
They carefully tucked the head of the Eagle Kingdom emperor into the bundle.
Wrap it in clothes and stuff it into a box lined with straw to prevent bloodstains from seeping out and alerting anyone to the abnormality.
Finally, she put the box into her residence in the Hidden City.
Hide it carefully.
To prevent one of her enemies from breaking into her house and causing trouble, and possibly losing her head.
After all, the head of this Eagle Kingdom emperor is crucial to whether she can obtain the antidote from the Southern Kingdom emperor.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyao headed towards the battlefield on the border of the Eagle Kingdom, following the escape route she had planned long ago.
For half a year, she had been lurking in the Eagle Kingdom's palace, all for that one antidote. Now, it was time to get the antidote and return to the world where she once lived freely.
...
Just as Lu Xiaoyao had escaped the city, found a carriage, and was heading towards the border of the Eagle Kingdom,
At this moment, the Eagle Kingdom's royal palace was in complete chaos.
"This headless corpse... is it His Majesty?" The eunuch who first discovered the body of the Eagle Kingdom Emperor squatted in front of the corpse. Although he used a question, he knew in his heart that this was undoubtedly the body of the Eagle Kingdom Emperor.
After all, he was the emperor's personal eunuch and knew the emperor very well. Even if the emperor was missing a head, he could recognize him at a glance.
"War is breaking out in the Eagle Kingdom right now, and His Majesty has been assassinated in his study... at this crucial moment." A minister who rushed over upon hearing the news said with a frown.
This is truly a situation of both internal and external troubles!
The political situation in the Eagle Kingdom is already complex.
The Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom has several sons. Not long ago, the Crown Prince was deposed, and the current princes are all ambitious.
They could not bear to watch someone else sit on the throne.
But... a country cannot be without a ruler for a single day.
The ministers exchanged glances, a shadow falling over their hearts.
...
On the frontier, after a day,
The defenses of Eagle Kingdom's city walls have been completely breached by Gu Mu's troops, and they have now retreated to another defensive point five miles away.
"Great! We were getting completely routed by them before! Now we've finally avenged ourselves!"
Soldiers who had survived the last defensive battle wore proud smiles.
"Why do you think we deserve to be bullied just because we're a small country? Let's see if you dare bully us again!"
At this moment, having won a battle—again, the Eagle Kingdom, whose national strength was once far superior to that of the Southern Kingdom and which had once invaded the Southern Kingdom—the morale of the Southern Kingdom's soldiers was exceptionally high.
The injuries on my body don't feel as painful anymore.
At this moment, it was getting dark.
The soldiers were also showing signs of exhaustion from the continuous fighting.
Gu Mu did not linger in the battle. Instead, he signaled for some of the logistics troops stationed at the camp to move their encampment a few miles forward.
In this way, they can cover less distance on foot when they attack the next day.
The logistics troops at the southern camp also beamed with joy upon seeing the signal.
"Your Majesty has repelled the Eagle Kingdom soldiers so quickly..."
They said excitedly.
They originally thought that even if they could repel the British soldiers, it wouldn't be so easy.
Unexpectedly, they were able to move their base forward in just one day.
So they all perked up and started packing their things.
After finding a suitable second campsite, Gu Mu sat down in the tent, letting the army medic bandage his wounds.
On this day, Gu Mu had accumulated 372 points.
Although taking the Resurrection Pill would heal these injuries very quickly, he had not suffered any fatal wounds and did not want to waste a single pill.
He planned to return to his tent after the bandaging was finished, and exchange for more dragon scales to see which part of his body would be enhanced in terms of defense this time.
Just as the military doctor was bandaging him.
Suddenly, someone lifted the tent flap in the wounded soldiers' camp.
A cold, effeminate voice rang out: "I will take care of His Majesty's injuries."
The young military doctor looked up and saw that it was the head of the Imperial Medical Academy speaking, so he lowered his head and said, "Okay."
Su Linle sat in the spot where the junior medic had been sitting, picked up the medicine, and bandaged Gu Mu's wound, explaining, "The junior medic is inexperienced. If the wound isn't treated properly, it will take a long time to heal."
Gu Mu remained silent, thinking about bringing back the dragon scale tablets he needed to take.
After he finishes taking the dragon scale tablets, he will have 72 points left. Before the battle the next day, he can keep the points for two Resurrection Pills in case of any unexpected events.
Su Linle pursed her lips. Since His Majesty hadn't answered her question, she felt a little embarrassed.
She was an introverted person to begin with.
That day, I confessed to His Majesty with the resolve to die.
If she were brave enough and less shy in matters of love, she wouldn't have taken such a roundabout way to approach His Majesty.
She fell silent and carefully tended to His Majesty's wounds.
Looking at the strong muscles on His Majesty's exposed arms, Su Linle couldn't help but blush.
Some strange ideas started popping into my head.
But she quickly regained her composure.
"Your Majesty, the bandage is finished. Be careful not to pull on the wound; it will heal faster that way," Su Linle said gently after bandaging the wound.
She was still dressed as a man at this moment.
It has to be said, how can someone's life be so extraordinary?
When dressed as a woman, he was stunningly beautiful, with no trace of a boy in his appearance.
When dressed as a man, he appears somewhat effeminate, the kind of villainous look that girls really like in TV dramas.
Gu Mu even believed that many young ladies from prominent families in the capital secretly harbored feelings for him.
He tried hard to recall,
Thinking back to that day when we were rowing the dragon boat,
He had the most handkerchiefs in front of him.
Several of them also had a number of handkerchiefs in front of them.
One of them was Su Linle.
"Do a lot of girls like you?" Gu Mu asked with a smile as he pulled up his clothes.
If Su Linle didn't like him, he would indeed be a very capable and good subordinate.
Unfortunately, because she liked him, she took some wrong turns along the way. Of course, if Su Linle hadn't liked him, there wouldn't be the Su Linle we know today.
Su Linle was prepared for His Majesty to ignore her, but to her surprise, His Majesty suddenly spoke to her.
He paused for a moment, then a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
The smile looked exceptionally handsome on his effeminate and indifferent face.
However, the smile was fleeting.
Su Linle was really not used to making other expressions, so he reverted to his usual aloof demeanor: "To be honest... there are a few families who have asked me to arrange marriages through matchmakers."
"But I do not have a fondness for lilies, so naturally I am unwilling to delay those young ladies."
Su Linle said in a low voice.
Gu Mu stammered, "Those young ladies aren't into lesbian relationships; they just think you're a handsome young man."
“…” Su Linle: “Your Majesty is joking…”
