Chapter 148 The Regent Has a Beautiful Girl in His Golden House (55)
After listening to his words, Tangcuo fell silent for a while.
As if sensing that he was feeling a little low, Mu Hanqing hugged him from behind.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Tang Cuo subconsciously hug his neck. "
"What? Are you unhappy when I talked about him?" Mu Hanqing buried her head in his neck and kissed him gently a few times.
"No." Tang Cuo gently pushed him away, then lowered his head and looked at his cheek.
Mu Hanqing smiled and said nothing more, then held him and walked towards the corner. A peach tree had grown new branches and looked full of vitality.
Tangcuo also looked up at the peach tree by the wall.
As night fell, Murong Yuan stood at the door of the inn, looking towards the road in the distance, as if waiting for someone.
"Your Majesty, go back. It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Be careful not to catch a cold." Yue Xu stood behind him and advised him softly.
"Yue Xu, if I had not agreed to let Your Highness come with me, would this not have happened?" Murong Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself too much. With Mu Hanqing's methods and his behavior that night, even if you didn't bring His Highness Tangcuo here, he would naturally find a way to take His Highness away." Yue Xu said calmly.
"Mu Hanqing, when I met him before, I said that he and I are of the same kind. I didn't touch His Highness because I didn't want the blood on my hands to taint His Highness's purity.
And he actually dared to treat His Highness like this..." Murong Yuan's face was gloomy, "By the way, has the news been sent back from the Northern Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty, the message has been sent back. All the soldiers are ready to go. I wonder if Your Highness wants to wait for the three-day deadline agreed with them, or return to the court first."
"Wait for two more days. I want to see what position their little emperor holds. By the way, have all the imperial guards outside the gate been withdrawn?"
"They have withdrawn. Prince Rong personally ordered the withdrawal of our guards."
"Yuexu, prepare a nightgown. I need to go to the Rong'an Palace." Murong Yuan's face was cold. "I must know whether His Highness is safe."
"Yes, I will prepare now."
It was late at night, and all the candles in the Rong'an Palace had been extinguished. Mu Hanqing did not stay in the side courtyard tonight, but went to the study to take care of housework.
Tang Cuo looked up at the ceiling. The iron chain on his feet was locked around his ankles again while he was having dinner.
"Xiao Ye, now it seems that I won't be able to see Murong Yuan before he leaves." Tang Cuo sighed: the original plan was disrupted, which was really not a good experience.
[Host, don't worry. Just because you can't see him doesn't mean he can't see you. And the system detects that Murong Yuan is on his way.]
"Ah? He's here? Is he crazy? Does he know where this is? If Mu Hanqing finds out, he really can't go back." Xiao Ye's voice startled Tang Cuo and he sat up instantly.
[Host, please relax. The battle between the Rong Dynasty and the Libei Dynasty is the key plot, so Murong Yuan will definitely return safely. He just needs the cooperation of the host.]
After hearing his words, Tangcuo felt relieved a little, "Okay, then success or failure will be decided tonight."
Time passed by bit by bit, Tang Cuo leaned on the edge of the bed, waiting for Murong Yuan to come.
Finally, he heard a slight sound from the bedroom door and looked to the side in a hurry.
Murong Yuan was wearing a black nightgown, and his body seemed to be covered with frost from the moonlight. He held a dagger in his hand and walked carefully towards the bed.
"Who is it?" Tang Cuo pretended to be ignorant and asked.
Hearing his voice, Murong Yuan's long-accumulated thoughts instantly burst out. He put the dagger back into his sleeve, walked quickly to Tang Cuo's side, and said softly, "Your Highness, it's me."
"A Yuan? Why are you here? Do you know how dangerous it is here? How dare you break into Rong'an Palace alone?" In fact, these words were Tang Cuo's true thoughts. On the one hand, they were mixed with a bit of worry, and on the other hand, they were mixed with a bit of joy.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I failed to protect you." Murong Yuan leaned down and hugged him gently.
Tang Cuo raised his hand and lit the oil lamp beside him. The light illuminated Murong Yuan's profile, and he actually saw tears in Murong Yuan's eyes.
Murong Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Tang Cuo carefully, his gaze fell on his neck covered with red marks and his feet locked with iron chains, and the raging anger instantly burst out like a flood, unable to be stopped.
"I'm going to kill him."
"A Yuan, A Yuan, calm down first." Tang Cuo watched him as he was about to turn around and hurriedly grabbed his hand.
"A Yuan, listen to me, I'm fine, don't be angry. This is the Rong Dynasty now, you won't be able to gain the upper hand if you take action openly." Tang Cuo comforted him gently.
Murong Yuan took a deep breath, raised his hand and carefully pulled up the chain on his feet, then used the dagger to forcefully scratch the outside of the chain a few times.
The silver chain glowed slightly under the light, and then remained unchanged as before.
Murong Yuan became increasingly agitated. He was so eager to take off the chains on Tang Cuo's feet that he left several red scratches on his palms.
"That's enough, A Yuan, don't try again. This was specially made by a craftsman hired by Mu Hanqing. It can't be opened without a key." Tang Cuo directly held his hand, "A Yuan, come and sit here. I have something to tell you."
"Your Highness, give me some more time and I can take it off." Murong Yuan's face was tense and he had no intention of stopping.
"A Yuan." Tang Cuo's voice became a little more serious.
Hearing his serious voice, Murong Yuan came back to his senses, and then walked to his side, "Your Highness..."
"A Yuan, I heard that you and King Rong made a three-day appointment?"
"Well, if Mu Hanqing doesn't send you back after three days, I will personally send troops to bring you back." Murong Yuan's eyes were firm.
Listening to his words, Tangcuo smiled helplessly, "Ayuan, do you know who suffers the most from starting a war?"
"I know, Your Highness, and I also know that your kindness will definitely stop me from starting a war, but... A Yuan is a selfish person. For you, I don't care about anything.
You may think that I am too cold-blooded, but I am sorry, Your Highness, this is how I survived."
"A Yuan, you are not cold-blooded. You still have kindness in your heart, don't you?" Tang Cuo held his hand with a gentle voice.
"Yes, but this kindness is only for you. As long as Mu Hanqing returns you to me in three days, everything will be fine..."
