The Aloof Prince Pampers His Wild First Rate Consort

Hearing this, Mu Yunjin looked down at her blood-stained clothes, pursed her lips, and found that the place where the hawks pecked her still hurt, but the bleeding had stopped, and there was no discomfort in other parts of her body.

"It's just luck, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave here first." Mu Yunjin looked back at Pingfeng Cliff not far away, sighed softly, and almost put her life here.

Everyone nodded, got up and left.

...

After walking for about a few miles, a few people came to a small town. Huang Yan saw that everyone had lost some energy along the way, so he found an inn for everyone to rest for a while.

After Mu Yunjin entered the inn, she asked Xiaoer to open a room for her, while the rest stayed downstairs to eat.

When she came to the room, Mu Yunjin changed out of the tattered clothes on her body, checked her wounds again, and poured some hot water to wipe off the dried blood on her body.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, when Mu Yunjin's hand touched her shoulder, she seemed to remember something, so she got up and walked to the bronze mirror, turned around, and looked at her back.

After looking at it for a while, apart from a few wounds on her back, there was nothing else.

Mu Yunjin couldn't help being a little surprised, she remembered that when she was at the foot of Pingfeng Cliff, the old man was determined not to save her, but then he and the little girl seemed to see something on her back, so they changed their minds to save her.

After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin picked up the torn clothes on the ground, checked them, and found that the old man had indeed torn a piece of cloth off the back.

Mu Yunjin frowned, with suspicion in her eyes.

When they went downstairs, the rest of the people had almost eaten, so Mu Yunjin walked over and sat down.

"Princess, my son said you like red bean porridge, but this place only has simple white porridge, so you can eat some." Huang Yan handed a bowl of white porridge to Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin nodded, and when Huang Yan mentioned Chu Li, she asked, "Chu Li said he has something to do these days, what is it?"

"The Qin family has made some small moves, and the young master is watching them." Huang Yan replied frankly.

"Hmm." Mu Yunjin didn't ask too much, but she always felt that it wasn't that simple.

After eating, the group continued on their way.

...

Prince Ning's Mansion.

"Your Highness, it's almost time, and it's time to enter the palace." Ding Xian stood outside the door of Chu Li's bedroom and gave a warning to the inside.

After a while, the door of the bedroom was opened, and a graceful figure walked out slowly, with an indifferent expression and a calm and deep expression.

"Let's go." Chu Lidan said.

Ding Xian nodded.

When she walked to the front hall, Qu Xinyao was standing there with her arms folded, her gorgeous face was dull, her brows were frowning, her beautiful eyes showed a bit of impatience, but she glanced at a blue figure from the corner of her eye from time to time.

"Cough, cough, cough." Xu Heyu automatically ignored Qu Xinyao's angry eyes, coughed a few times, and his face turned pale.

"It's getting cold, City Lord Xu must be freezing, drink some ginger tea to warm you up." Mother Shen saw Xu Heyu coughing several times early in the morning, and brought a bowl of ginger tea.

"Thank you." Xu Heyu nodded towards Nanny Shen.

On the side, seeing this scene, Qu Xinyao snorted coldly, "Sister Shen, he is so sick all year round, don't be fooled by him."

Nanny Shen was taken aback for a moment, knowing that City Lord Qu was a hot-tempered person, so she didn't interrupt, patted her body and walked away.

When Chu Li walked into the front hall, he saw Xu Heyu drinking ginger tea. Qu Xinyao looked impatiently at Xu Heyu.

"Your Highness is here, let's go." Xu Heyu put down the bowl in his hand and sat up.

"Xu Heyu, finish the ginger tea quickly!" Qu Xinyao squinted at the remaining half of the ginger tea, spoke angrily, and turned her eyes away after speaking.

Xu Heyu had no choice but to drink up the remaining ginger tea.

"Let's go." Chu Li had long been familiar with the entanglement between the two for so many years, smiled lightly, and walked out.

Xu Heyu followed Chu Li, and when he passed by Qu Xinyao, he said warmly, "It's a bit cold outside, you'd better bring a cloak."

After speaking, go out the door.

Qu Xinyao looked at Xu Heyu's back with a complicated expression, but she still couldn't help but took the cloak hanging on the chair and put it on, and followed them.

...

In today's court hall, the atmosphere is rare and dignified.

Sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall, Emperor Ximing put his hands on his knees and glanced around the bottom of the main hall. Finally, his eyes fell on the three extra people.

"Yan Aiqing, what is your purpose in calling three city lords here today?" Emperor Ximing glanced at Prime Minister Yan Qiuhuai.

Originally, Yan Qiuhuai proposed to let the three city lords go to court to discuss matters, but he totally disagreed, but when he thought that Qu Xinyao was also there, he nodded in agreement.

"Report to the Emperor, I have an important matter to report, which concerns Prince Ning's Mansion." Yan Qiuhuai walked out of the queue with a sullen face and an extremely serious expression.

Hearing the words Ning Wangfu, everyone subconsciously looked at Chu Li.

Chu Li pursed his lips and stood quietly on the spot, as if he had never heard Yanqiu Huai's words, his eyes were empty, making it difficult to fathom his emotions at this time.

"Zunzuo." Emperor Ximing frowned and looked sharply.

Yan Qiuhuai nodded, then glanced at the old General Qin at the side, then cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice, "I heard that King Ning Palace..."

"Ah Choo—" A loud sneeze broke the quiet and eerie atmosphere in the court hall.

Qu Xinyao covered her mouth, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, her eyes showed apology, and she smiled coyly at Emperor Ximing in the hall, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back for a while,"

Facing Qu Xinyao, Emperor Ximing always had no temper, so he nodded at her, "It's okay."

"Yan Aiqing continue."

"The old minister heard that His Royal Highness King Ning is in close contact with Master Huaiyuan, the current abbot of Shuiyun Temple, and they seem to be plotting something." Yanqiu Huai said.

As soon as Yanqiu Huai's words came out, the court hall became silent again.

Emperor Ximing frowned, looked at Yanqiu Huai, "Yanqing, do you have evidence for what you said?"

"Of course there are. Elders Wen Yuan and Ming Yuan of Shuiyun Temple can testify. They saw His Royal Highness King Ning often having secret talks with Master Huaiyuan, and every time there were secret talks, a formation was set up outside the door, and His Highness King Ning's guards were guarding them, so that no one else could approach them." Yan Qiuhuai continued.

"Although you say that, there is no substantive evidence that the content of the secret talks between King Ning and Master Huaiyuan will endanger our Xiyuan Kingdom." Emperor Ximing said impatiently. What he hates most in this world is such pretentious things.

"That's right, just relying on one mouth to say, without evidence, how can people believe your words?" Qu Xinyao sneered.

Seeing Qu Xinyao echoing her words for the first time, Emperor Ximing couldn't help beaming with joy, and continued following Qu Xinyao's words, "That's right, besides, King Ning has a special status and is my prince. If Yan Aiqing can't provide any real evidence, then Li'er has been wronged for nothing, and today I will punish you."

Yan Qiuhuai opened his mouth, and looked at Old General Qin.

At this time, Old General Qin stepped out of the row, and bent over to Emperor Ximing, "I dare you, old minister, there is one thing that I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Ready to play."

"I wonder if the emperor still remembers Concubine Rong who was imprisoned in Shuiyun Temple?" Old General Qin said.

Speaking of Concubine Rong, Emperor Ximing's brows darkened, and he wanted to get angry, but because of Chu Li's presence, he said, "Why are you bringing this up?"

"The old minister heard that Princess Ning Mu Yunjin has used some kind of magic to break the formation, and also secretly established a sect. The subordinates in the sect are all strange in appearance, inhuman and demon-like, and all of them are highly capable."

"Not long ago, during the execution of the Saintess of Nanting Kingdom, King Ning and Concubine Ning secretly appeared in Nanting Kingdom, and were smashed by the second prince of Donglin Kingdom who was also in Nanting Kingdom at that time.

Old General Qin drew a long tail, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his eyes, waiting for Emperor Ximing's reply.

At this time, some people in the court could not help but whisper and discuss——

"Could Princess Ning really be a witch? Do you remember the fire phoenix on her back last time?"

"His Royal Highness King Ning must have been confused by the demon girl, otherwise how could he hurt the prince of Donglin Kingdom..."

"..."

After everyone said a word, Emperor Ximing in the hall looked pale and cast a glance at Chu Li, "Li Er, is what Old General Qin said true or false?"

"I have never heard of this." Chu Li said with a cold face and a low voice.

"After the second prince of the Donglin Kingdom was injured, he ordered the envoy of the Donglin Kingdom to send a letter, which was intercepted by the soldiers at the border and handed over to the veteran. The veteran wanted to write a private letter to comfort the second prince, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better for the emperor to make a decision." After speaking, Old General Qin took out a secret letter from his sleeve.

Eunuch Lu came down from the hall, took the secret letter from Old General Qin, walked up and handed it to Emperor Xi Ming.

Emperor Ximing opened the letter and quickly browsed through the contents of the letter. At the end of the letter, he engraved the seal of the exclusive Donglin Kingdom.

"It's just nonsense!" Emperor Ximing crumpled the letter into a ball, pointed at Chu Li angrily, "Last time, Mu Yunjin, a witch, killed Qing Qiang in the palace, and you took her away privately in disregard of my face, and disrespected her. I have already swallowed my breath."

"I didn't expect you to follow Mu Yunjin to mess around this time and hurt the prince of Donglin Kingdom. Didn't you think clearly before doing such things that hurt the harmony between the two countries?!" The more Emperor Ximing thought about it, the more angry he became. Originally Chu Li was his proudest son, and he was also his most promising successor at the beginning, but now he is obsessed with beauty and led by the nose by a woman!

After hearing what Emperor Ximing said, Old General Qin had a flash of success in his eyes, and just when he was about to add a few more words, a clear and quiet voice sounded in the hall——

"The minister also has something to play."

Hearing that Chu Li also had something to say, Old General Qin's eyebrows changed.

"Tell me." Emperor Ximing clenched his fists, always thinking that his country was governed in an orderly manner, but today he found out that there are so many things he doesn't know in private.

Chu Li nodded, and suddenly turned his eyes to look at Old General Qin, with a very faint arc drawn between his lips.

Chu Li's smile made Old General Qin feel a chill rise from the soles of his feet, and he even shook his heart.

"Father, look at this..."
