CHAPTER 1 - JUMP OFF A CLIFF

The Western Lion Country.

The imposing city gates were not far ahead. From the fact that the gates were erected, one could tell the prosperity of this country.

Outside the city gates, two large mountains were standing in the middle of the road, which just so happened to turn the imperial city into a place where it was easy to suffer. On the mountain path, a group of guards hurried over.

The powerful hooves of the horses caused the dirt road to be covered with dust. Only the bright banners of the guards walking at the front could be seen clearly.

Occasionally, when the commoners saw such an army, they would kneel to the ground and stare at it obediently. The faces that were almost touching to the ground were filled with respect and fear.

In the middle of the army, a carriage with a bright yellow curtain was steadily moving forward. The wheels of the carriage had left two carriages on the dirt road. The imperial bodyguard directed the horse to avoid the potholes on the road. He was so careful that he didn't dare to let the horse budge.

Your majesty, there is still five miles to the city gate. Does the Emperor need to stop and rest for a while, then continue after lunch?

The gate of the city was getting closer and closer. The guard driving the carriage stopped the carriage and knelt in front of it as he asked in a low voice.

There's no need. We need to increase our speed and return to the palace as soon as possible!

From within the carriage, an emotionless voice could be heard. The guard who was kneeling on the ground couldn't help but shrink his neck, his face almost touching the ground.

Yes, Your Majesty! In front of us is the last gate leading to the imperial city. The road is bumpy and bumpy, so please sit down and take care, your majesty! "

After carefully explaining the situation, the guard stood up and glanced at the yellow curtain with his eyes before returning to his submissive appearance.

Keep your guard up and move forward at full speed!

He gestured to the guards in front of them, and the imposing army continued to march forward. Every pair of eyes carefully observed their surroundings, afraid that the emperor would encounter some mishaps on his way back to the Imperial City.

As the strong and the rich of the Western Lion Country now, it was inevitable that some of the forces in the dark were ready to make a move.

Although the emperor was out on a secret patrol, he wanted to secretly visit the local officials. However, if such a troop were to travel in the open, it would inevitably attract the attention of others. If word of this leaked out, it would bring about some sort of disaster.

Shang Li, Consort Rong sent a message yesterday saying that she is not feeling well. When you enter the Imperial City, go pick some fresh items outside the palace and bring them back to the palace.

After a moment of silence, Murong Ruoyun's voice once again rang out from within the carriage. It was low and reserved, making it hard for anyone to tell what he was thinking.

Yes, Your Majesty. This subordinate will arrange it well!

The guard on the horse agreed, his sharp eyes never leaving the carriage.

In front of them, two large mountains stood facing each other across a road. The sharp summit pierced through the clouds, causing people to be unable to see its height. The mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist, making the two mountains seem rather mysterious. No one knew what was hidden in these two mountains.

At dusk, a red shadow fell straight down from the top of the cliff in front of them. The bright red of the midday sun was dazzling.

Shang Li's white horse seemed to be frightened by the sudden turn of events. It retreated a few steps, its hooves digging on the ground, emitting an ear-piercing screech.

The horse that was pulling the carriage stood up straight and almost overturned the carriage.

The guard who was driving the carriage was thrown far away by the horse. He was holding one of his legs and rolling on the ground while wailing. It looked like he had broken a leg. Beads of sweat dripped down his face.

The wailing of the carriage guards caused the group of people to immediately become nervous. Their faces revealed expressions of panic as they moved closer to each other.

Be careful of an assassin …

Protect the emperor, protect the emperor …

All kinds of shouts mixed together, and before the red figure could land on the ground, the entire army had already surrounded the carriage, creating a chaotic mess.

A bunch of trash!

With a low growl, he controlled the white horse beneath him. His personal bodyguard, Shang Li, swung his whip towards the bodyguard who was hugging a leg and shouting.

The whip with the red cherry seemed to have a life of its own as it quickly wrapped around the guard's neck and threw him ten meters away. The armored body fell on the ground with a thump, unable to make any sound anymore. A dazzling stream of blood blossomed on his neck, shocking everyone, making them shut their mouths.

The imperial guard, Shang Li, who had been following by the emperor's side since he was young, had indeed reached out his hand, and was quite ruthless in his attacks.

Seemingly satisfied with the deterrent force of his actions, Shang's exposed eyes narrowed. The whip was retracted as it whizzed towards the red figure that was rapidly falling from above.

If he hit the target, it would be impossible for the victim to survive even if they weren't split into two halves.

He scared the emperor, he's simply courting death!

The cold voice almost burst out from the depths of hell. The cold words came out from Shang Li's mouth. His whip was only half a meter away from the falling red body.

The red figure was slender and petite. It seemed to be a woman. Under the bright red light, her small face looked especially pale, almost to the point of being bizarre.

What was even more puzzling was that the red dress that the woman wore was the one that the woman from the Western Lion Country wore when she was married. In her arms was the pearl that was used to cover her face when the young lady of an official's family got married.

Shang Li stop, let her live!

In the bright yellow carriage, Murong Ruoyun's dark voice carried a strong deterrent force. It scared Shang Li so much that his hand instantly shook, and the whip slightly deviated from its original direction.

In just a short moment, the red figure fell to the ground with a 'bang'. The back of the head knocked against a rock, and a dazzling flower of blood blossomed.

The bright yellow curtain of the sedan chair was lifted at that moment, and Murong Cheng, who wore a golden robe, flew out of the sedan, heading straight for the woman who had just fallen. The woman's pale face and the blood on the ground made his unfathomable, long eyes turn sinister.

"Your Majesty, please allow this subordinate to investigate everything. We will soon be entering the Imperial City, and this is also a barren mountain.

His large body blocked the path in front of Murong Ruoyun, while Shang Li's face was full of seriousness. Such a high mountain was difficult even for ordinary people to climb, so how could someone jump down from here? Moreover, it just so happened to be in time for the Emperor's return from his secret trip.

Shang Li, if she dies, I will let you be the first to be buried with her!

His unfathomable eyes glared fiercely at Shang Li. A sinister and cold voice came out of Murong Xi's mouth. His tightly pursed lips revealed the anxiety in his heart. His words caused Shang Li's body to tremble as if he had been sent to hell.

Since he was young, he had been by Murong Ruoyun's side. They had been studying together, and from start to finish, he had never been cold or warm to him. But today, he actually became angry because of that woman who fell from the top of the mountain …

Your Majesty, Shang and Li are at fault. Shang Li begs His Majesty to be more careful, there's a trick to it!"

Leaning forward to kneel on the ground, Shang Li's body was almost touching the ground, his voice was tinged with apprehension.

After patiently waiting for a long time, Shang Li didn't hear a reply from Murong Xiaoyao. Even the fragrance of the sandalwood on his body was getting further and further away.

Your Majesty …

Carefully raising his head, Shang Li just in time to see Murong Ning carry that woman and fly away.

Shang Li, I will return to the palace first. You take the guards into the city, and don't forget to bring something that you like. Also, I hope not too many people know about this woman."

There was a hint of anxiety mixed in the undetectable emotion in his voice. After he had finished speaking, Murong Ruoyun's figure had already risen and landed several times, standing at a distance of at least a hundred meters away from the guards.

As the bright yellow figure gradually disappeared from sight, Shang Li's eyes were filled with speculation. Who was this woman? Why was she so calm and unbreakable, and why didn't she like the Emperor who was drenched in blood? Why was she so nervous and even willing to take risks to carry her away?

General Manager Shang, should we follow them to protect the emperor?

The group of guards were dumbstruck for a moment before realizing that the Emperor had already left. Afraid that something might have happened to Murong Wanru, she hurriedly moved closer to Shang Li to make a decision.

No need! This woman had lost so much blood that she had probably died! Clean this place up, and let the troops continue forward!

Shang Li mounted his white warhorse and followed the horse carriage to the entrance of the Royal City cautiously.

The blood stains on the ground and the carriage guards who had been beaten to death by Shang were all cleaned up. Except for the faint smell of blood in the air, nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.

Snow City, the imperial city of the Western Lion Country.

This place was originally a barren land, and was covered with lush greenery. Five years ago, the Second Prince, Murong Cheng, used a thunderous method to ascend to the throne and quickly made the Western Lion Country prosper. Only then did this place become its current state and become the most prosperous place.

It was originally a small place with no name, but the Second Prince personally nominated it as Xue Du, making it the location of the Imperial Palace.

Entering a tightly guarded city gate, the prosperity within the snow and the desolation outside were like the contrast between the sky and the earth. The streets were bustling with activity, filled with the busy citizens who were busy dealing in goods.

The army that had entered the imperial city did not bring any troubles to the people. Everyone seemed to have gotten used to it as they knelt by the roadside, waiting for the army to leave.

There were even people in the crowd discussing what good things the Emperor would do for the commoners on this trip.

In the eyes of the common people, the Emperor who used five years to transform the Western Lion Country into a king comparable to the Luo Yue Country, was a wise monarch.

From a high vantage point, the snow was actually not very heavy. Half of a square city was occupied by the Imperial Palace.

Holding the body that reeked of blood in his arms, Murong Ruoyun's feet moved like the wind, and he quickly reached the palace gates. His appearance quickly attracted the attention of many imperial guards who were hiding in the shadows. When they saw that it was actually the Emperor, they all revealed expressions of surprise.

Before they could say anything, Murong Ruoyun had already made a silent gesture. She hugged the woman in her arms as she ran towards Xue Xuan's sleeping quarters.

The woman in his arms seemed to have lost all signs of life. It was as if he was sitting on the dragon throne for the first time and had returned from a great battle with the Kingdom of Luo Yue.

Your Majesty, why did you …

Xue Xuan had long since received the news that the Emperor was returning to the palace. Dozens of people were bustling about. When he saw Murong Ruoyun appear at the door, the eunuch who had always accompanied him immediately walked up to him.

Go find the imperial physician! Be quick!

His cold voice was filled with a strong sense of deterrence. After giving some orders, he carried the woman in his arms and entered the bedroom.

At this moment, the sleeping quarters had already been tidied up to the point where there was not a speck of dust left. A thick fragrance of sandalwood wafted in the air, along with the thick smell of blood, causing one's heart to involuntarily tremble.

Placing the woman in his arms on the bright yellow slump, Murong Ruoyun looked at her pale face, her expression full of nervousness and unspeakable pain.

Xue Li, you made me look for trouble. But how can you appear in front of my eyes in such a way?!

Only at this moment did the unfathomable pair of eyes lose their defense. Murong Cheng held the woman's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, his handsome face full of worry for her.

CHAPTER 2 - BLOOD FOR LIFE

Since he was young, he had been by Murong Ruoyun's side. They had been studying together, and from start to finish, he had never been cold or warm to him. But today, he actually became angry because of that woman who fell from the top of the mountain …

Your Majesty, Shang and Li are at fault. Shang Li begs His Majesty to be more careful, there's a trick to it!"

Leaning forward to kneel on the ground, Shang Li's body was almost touching the ground, his voice was tinged with apprehension.

After patiently waiting for a long time, Shang Li didn't hear a reply from Murong Xiaoyao. Even the fragrance of the sandalwood on his body was getting further and further away.

Only at this moment did the unfathomable pair of eyes lose their defense. Murong Cheng held the woman's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, his handsome face full of worry for her.

The imposing guard team advanced along the main street, and soon arrived at the entrance of the palace. The imperial guard, Shang Li, dismounted from his horse at the palace gates and led the carriage inside.

Your consort welcomes Your Majesty back to the palace. Your Majesty, chenqie …

At the entrance of the palace, a woman in a white robe walked out gracefully with the support of a maid. When she saw Murong Ruoyun's carriage, the woman's legs gave way and she kneeled down on the ground. A hint of weakness appeared in her originally delicate brows.

The pleasant voice had a coquettish tone, so sweet that it sounded like honey. A pair of large watery eyes stared at the bright yellow curtain, and the woman's eyes couldn't help but be filled with tender love.

Your Majesty, in the days that Your Majesty wasn't here, chenqie has always been concerned about him and hopes for his return as soon as possible. Now that you're finally back, chenqie originally wanted to let the emperor rest for a bit, but she couldn't help but come …

Her delicate body was supported by the maid beside her. The woman kneeling on the ground spoke fawningly while moving her body in front of the carriage.

The pair of eyes that were filled with tenderness stared unblinkingly at the curtain of the sedan, as if hoping that a big hand would reach out from the sedan and pull her into his embrace like every time.

Esteemed imperial concubine, the emperor returned to the palace earlier. This was brought back by the emperor's subordinate for the Empress to take care of. Also, the emperor wanted me to remind the empress to take good care of herself and take care of her!"

Without any change in expression, Shang Li took the items from the guard behind him. Shang Li's tone was flat, and no tone could be heard. She didn't show much respect for the empress who had been bitterly waiting for her at the palace gates.

What? Shang Li, I thought you were supposed to be protecting the emperor when he returned to the palace. Where is he now, and what is he doing? Where will I have to go to find him?

As soon as Shang spoke, consort Rong stood up from the ground. She angrily shook off the maid's hand. Within Rong Fei's limpid eyes, there was an obvious sense of anger. Her previous weakness had also been completely wiped away.

Shang Li could not help but smile under the mask.

CHAPTER 3 - HIS LIFE WAS OVER

Reporting to esteemed imperial concubine, this subordinate doesn't know why Your Majesty returned to the palace first. The empress knew the emperor's temper, so this subordinate didn't dare to speculate rashly. If the Empress has no orders, this subordinate still has some important matters to attend to. I ask that the Empress return to the palace early to rest!

With a slight bow, Shang Li's tone was neither servile nor overbearing, his words silencing her.

You … Good. Shang Li, thank the emperor for me. I will return first!"

Annoyed at the lack of movement of the curtain, Consort Rong glared at Shang Li before leading the two maids deep into the palace with large strides.

Leaving Shang Li's line of sight, Rong Fei's beautiful eyes immediately lost all traces of happiness, appearing rather sinister.

Chun Jiao, go find someone to find out when the emperor returned, and with whom. Qiu Tong, accompany me back to wash up and find the emperor at Xue Xuan. Also, pay attention to whether Yan Fei, that jian, made any movements after the Emperor returned!

With a cold expression on her face, she turned around and walked towards her own palace, her back filled with anger.

Currently, only she and Yan Fei had a status of concubine in the palace. Although Yan Fei was the third daughter of the current prime minister, she wasn't favoured by her, the daughter of a general. She was still thinking of taking advantage of the lack of people in the palace to get the position of empress in her hands as soon as possible.

In fact, since she had entered the palace, things had indeed developed according to her wishes. Every time he returned from the palace, he would always visit her first. There were endless rewards and fresh items, but this time an accident occurred.

Thinking of the mocking look in Shang Li's eyes, Rongfei's anger flared up. If she were to find out who robbed her of her pampered position, she would definitely not let him off lightly.

The Rongxiang Palace wasn't actually too far away from Murong Ruoyun's sleeping quarters. A large area was separated by a single wall, and there were countless pavilions and pavilions emerging from it. It looked like an extraordinary place to be.

As she was mulling over the matters of the day, Rong Fei and her servant, Qiu Tong, quickly returned to the palace. After throwing the items that Shang Li had given her onto the white carpet, Consort Rong's eyes were filled with gloom.

These things hadn't been picked out by Murong Ruoyun's eyes at all. She would not be interested in anything bought by those dog slaves that she could tolerate.

Qiu Tong, bring me that water-pink embroidered long skirt. I'm going to personally visit Xue Xuan to look for the emperor!

She plopped down on a mahogany chair and drank her tea as she spoke.

The personal maid, Qiu Tong, quickly brought her clothes over. Looking at the gorgeous pink dress, Rong Qing Lian's mood could not help but brighten.

Two years ago, she had been wearing this exact outfit when she had appeared in front of Murong Ruoyun.

At that time, he had just returned from a great battle with the Kingdom of Luo Yue. The news of his triumphant return had made him treated with the respect of a hero. He wore golden armor, and his slender eyes were filled with a confident smile. He extended a large hand that was covered in a thin cocoon towards her.

At that moment, in the eyes of the new emperor, Rong Qing Lian saw boundless love and affection.

Empress, your clothes have been changed. This servant will help you comb your hair!

Behind her, the maid, Qiu Tong, helped her put on her clothes and timidly lowered her hands to the side.

After hearing Qiu Tong's words, Consort Rong's thoughts left her memories. She rubbed her forehead with her slender fingers, then walked towards the bronze mirror standing in the corner of the room.

The tall and slender bronze mirror reflected her figure completely. Her tall and slender body didn't lose any of its fullness. The spring breeze caressed the willowy grace of her body, making it seem as if her figure was moving. The same color lace around her waist made her already slim waist even more slender. Her bare arms and exposed soft breasts carried an incomparably enchanting allure.

Qiu Tong, you stay in the palace. I'll go find the emperor myself. Remember, prepare the dinner properly, and the emperor will come to the Rongxiang Palace to sleep! "

He raised his hand and smoothed his long hair that was like black satin. The Blue Lotus didn't decorate his head in the slightest. She gracefully walked out of the Aroma Pavilion and headed in the direction of Xue Xuan.

Murong Cheng had said before that she, who was unrestrained and unadorned, was the most attractive. She wanted to see if her current appearance would be able to hold the emperor's heart and make him stand above all others in one go.

Xue Xuan's bright yellow bed curtain hung low, blocking the woman's face on the bed.

With his hands behind his back, he walked around the sleeping quarters in circles. His brows were furrowed as if he had twisted a huge lump, concealing an endless amount of worry.

The stench of blood in the room was much stronger than before, and it seemed to have covered up the aroma of the sandalwood. A large part of the bright yellow blanket on the bed was soaked in dark red blood.

The back of the woman's head was smashed by a sharp stone when she fell down. She was still bleeding profusely, as if her blood would never dry out.

Beneath the bed curtain, a small, pale hand hung limply, its pale color without any hint of life. Seven or eight imperial physicians were kneeling by the bed, their foreheads beaded with sweat.

How is it, what method can save her?

Seeing that the last imperial physician had removed his hand from the woman's wrist, Murong Xi hurriedly went forward and asked. His downcast tone made the imperial physician's legs go limp, collapsing to the ground.

Your majesty, your subordinate is incompetent, and your subordinate's medical skills are mediocre. This... This young master had lost too much blood, I'm afraid … I'm afraid he's been dead for quite some time. Even if … Even if the Great Luo Golden Immortal had descended, I'm afraid that he would not have been able to save you from this long ago!

The old voice trembled nonstop. The old doctor's hand clutched the medicine box tightly, the veins on his forehead throbbing in fear.

The person on the bed had long since lost all signs of life. Even the temperature of an ordinary person had ceased to exist, and his skin had lost all its elasticity. Even if the palace was piled high with all sorts of precious herbs, it would still be unable to revive a person who had been dead for a long time.

Shut up!

Just as the old imperial physician finished speaking, he was met with a loud shout from Murong Ruoyun. His eyes were wide, and he looked angry like an angry leopard.

What do you mean helpless to reverse the situation? It's clear that you morons are incapable of doing so! Since none of you can save her, then die with her! "

The deep voice was filled with fear. Murong Ruoyun roared in anger and kicked the old doctor out of the room. This kick made all the old doctors who had been prepared to beg for mercy quiver in fear.

Her tall and slender body was by the side of the bed. Murong Ruoyun's slender eyes were focused on the woman lying on the bed. The corners of her eyes were filled with grief. Countless scenes regarding women flashed through his mind.

She was happy, sad, angry, and playful...

From the moment she appeared in front of his eyes, he could no longer forget that vivid little face, all the way until she disappeared. Now, the person in his heart had finally been retrieved by him, but was she going to die just like that?

CHAPTER 4 - AWAKENING

Xue Li, you're just going to leave me like this? Open your eyes and tell me where you've been all these years. Open your eyes, I will return your innocence, return the Su Clan's innocence, as long as you wake up! Didn't you dislike implicating others, and even more so disliked me using the power of life and death? If you die, then all of these imperial physicians will die with you! "

Hugging the woman in his arms with his powerful arms, Murong Ruoyun felt the ice-cold warmth. Her previously emotionless and handsome face was filled with grief.

When he returned with the woman in his arms, he could no longer feel her pulse. How could he not know that she had died? He was just unwilling and unwilling to believe it.

Su Xueli, wake up! If you continue to stay in bed, I will kill all these quack doctors!

As if the temperature of a woman's body had made Murong Ruoyun's heart go cold, he put down Su Xueli's body and helped her straighten her long hair. His eyes looked towards the trembling imperial physician, and they were filled with a thick killing intent.

Leaving the bedside with his tall and big body, Murong Ruoyun pulled out a sharp sword. His face was grave as if Su Xueli on the bed could really hear his words.

The icy sword tip pointed at the first imperial physician's throat with a humming sound.

Su Xueli, you're still not awake?

Your Majesty …

His words were extremely sinister, causing the imperial physicians to immediately be frightened out of their wits.

Your Majesty, please spare my life. This subordinate has another method, but I don't know if it will be useful!

Kneeling, he crawled forward a few steps. The imperial physician, who was pointing a sword at him, was so frightened that his face paled and tears flowed from his eyes. A thick killing intent began spreading in all directions, with Mu Rong Cheng as the center.

What method?

The old imperial physician's words that seemed to come out of his mouth made Murong Ning's hand freeze for a moment. A glimmer of hope appeared in his narrow eyes. As long as there was the slightest possibility, he would give it a try and save Xue Li.

Blood to draw blood, dragon blood to save lives!

Seeing that her words had taken effect, the old imperial physician shut his eyes and managed to say these words with great difficulty.

All the imperial physicians turned pale with fright at these words. Dragon Blood was on the body of the Emperor! If that was the case, wouldn't it mean that the little lord on the bed was already dead? If he didn't come back to life …?

The group of imperial physicians were all trembling in fear. Not a single one of them dared to continue speaking, but a peculiar glint flashed across Murong Ruoyun's eyes. He had forgotten that he was now the Son of Heaven, and that he had been bestowed with countless magical powers. Hopefully, his blood could save Xue Li.

The sharp tip of the sword swiftly slashed across her finger. The dark red bloodstain carried a warm and sweet smell as it dripped down her pale lips and entered the woman's mouth …

The air was filled with the thick smell of blood, and it seemed as if the air had become viscous. The group of imperial physicians knelt on the ground, trembling. The more time passed, the more their faces turned ashen and unsightly.

Murong Ruoyun's ten fingers were already covered with sword wounds, and her handsome face was also completely pale. He stubbornly believed that his blood could save Su Xueli and continuously allowed his blood to flow drop by drop into the woman's mouth, yet Su Xueli did not make the slightest movement on the bed.

Your majesty, please stop. Dragon Body!

That's right, your majesty. Once the young master leaves, the emperor can even give her a deep burial. But what if something happened to the emperor's body? What would happen to the people? What would happen to the imperial government? What would happen to the Western Lion Kingdom? Your subordinates can't afford to wait! "

Seeing that Murong Ruoyun's face had turned pale for a while, and her eyes started to turn blurry from the dizziness, the old doctors all kneeled on the ground and continuously kowtowed.

Shut up, I'm fine! Tell the Grand Hospital to prepare the nourishing medicine. We will definitely be able to save Xue Li! "

Her pale lips pursed into a smile, and a resolute look appeared in Murong Ruoyun's long and slender eyes. However, she unsteadily fell down to the side of the bed.

A wave of dizziness overcame him. He was afraid that he really didn't have the energy to put his life on the line to save others.

Your Majesty, be careful! Your Majesty should rest for a while, this subordinate will think of a way then! "

Seeing that Murong Ruoyun had almost fallen over, the imperial physicians were so scared that their guts nearly burst out of their bodies. They hurriedly crawled forward to help bandage her. Those who wrote the prescription, and went back to prepare medicine, were all busy for a moment.

Beside the bed, Murong Ruoyun was sitting there without moving. His thin eyes were filled with helplessness.

The woman's face was still as pale as ever. Her delicate face was so delicate that people couldn't help but touch it, but the ice-cold temperature made his heart tremble. Her sexy lips were pale and cracked, reflecting the dark red blood at the corner of her mouth, making her look even more shocking.

Xue Li, why didn't you wake up? What do you want from me!

Gripping the woman's cold little hand tightly, Murong Ruoyun murmured under her breath and closed her eyes that were filled with pain. The bitterness in his eyes forced him to avoid the gazes of the imperial physicians.

As the ruler of a country, he could not be weak.

Reporting to the emperor, esteemed imperial concubine seeks an audience!

Just at this moment, from Xue Xuan's door, Eunuch Sparrow's shrill voice sounded. The faint voice of consort Rong's gentle voice could be heard.

Go out and tell Young Master Ma that I have something important to attend to today. No one is to disturb me in Xue Xuan!

His slender eyes that were tightly shut suddenly opened, and he stood up from the bed. His handsome face was filled with unyielding determination. There was no longer any hint of weakness or other emotion in those long and thin eyes brimming with majesty.

Yes, this subordinate will inform Eunuch Ma right away!

Having received Murong Ruoyun's orders, the old imperial physician, who was bandaging his fingers, turned around and left the sleeping quarters. He jogged towards Xue Xuan's door.

At Xue Xuan's entrance, Rong Fei stood there, her watery eyes looking in the direction of the sleeping quarters. Beside her, Young Master Ma was standing with his back bent, a fawning smile on his fair and elderly face.

Esteemed wangfei, please wait a moment. The emperor just returned. He must be tired. If he knew that the Empress was so worried about him, the emperor would definitely be very happy! "

You really know how to speak, servant. No wonder the Emperor kept you by his side! I said, Eunuch Ma, is there something important that the Emperor has yet to finish when he returns this time? Don't tell me you're not going to see me!

A smug smile flashed across her almond eyes. Rongfei was filled with joy at Eunuch Sparrow's words. Her pretty face was filled with a coquettish smile.

A cool breeze blew over, causing her skirt to flutter in the wind, perfectly displaying her long and beautiful legs. The two lumps of flesh in front of his chest could even be seen through the thin layer of the muslin covering his body. One could even see the slight tremor and undulation from the two lumps of flesh in front of him.

As she walked back and forth in front of Xue Xuan's door, her heart was filled with tender feelings. Her graceful figure shifted back and forth, bringing with it a burst of fragrant wind that assaulted the nose.

Esteemed wangfei, this old servant doesn't know how to speak! This old servant followed by the emperor's side every day. Naturally, he could see who the emperor valued the most in his heart. When the emperor was working outside, he would recite the words' Empress' every day! "

Seeing that his kind words had reached the tip of the blade, the smile on Taoist Ma's face became even more pronounced, and the fawning look in his eyes became even more apparent. He had been by Murong Ruoyun's side for a few years. Although he couldn't see through this little emperor's personality, he knew which master to flatter!

Hmph, I was just complimenting you a bit! I said, Uncle Ma, I will give you some money to drink some tea on account of the sweetness in your mouth. I'll have to trouble Young Master Ma to take care of all the trifling matters surrounding the emperor in the future! "

CHAPTER 5 - FAULTY POLICY OF CONCUBINE

She took out two gold ingots from her sleeves and spoke with her almond-shaped eyes.

In the past, she had always thought that she was the one that Murong Ruoyun doted on the most. The position of Empress naturally belonged to her as well. It was only a matter of time. But after today's events, a sliver of panic suddenly appeared in her heart.

It was said that the monarch's heart was hard to predict. Only by mastering this harem would she be able to live carefreely in the future. Only by being able to always be by the side of the Emperor would he be able to approach the Emperor at all times, making the Emperor constantly worry about him.

Just as her father had said, it was time for her to make a good plan for the position of Empress.

Where did the Empress say those words!? This old servant should have taken care of the emperor, how could he dare to take advantage of the Empress! However, if you were to talk about the trivial matters of the Emperor's life, this old servant will do my best to satisfy Empress! "

His old face was covered in wrinkles and his smile was fake. As he spoke, he put the ingot back into his sleeve. His originally bent waist was now as crooked as a cooked prawn.

Empress, wait a little longer. This old servant will go and give the Empress a reminder.

He said this with a fawning tone. Young Master Ma was holding two heavy ingots through his sleeves. His old face was so beautiful that it almost blossomed.

He trotted with all his might until he reached the door of the chamber, just in time to bump into the old imperial physician who had come to deliver the letter.

Imperial Physician Zhang, is that young master's health better now? Esteemed wangfei has been waiting outside for a while now. Has the emperor summoned her yet?

Smelling the strong smell of blood coming from his bedroom, Taoist Ma finally realized the seriousness of the situation. She asked this question carefully as she sized up the imperial physician's expression.

Not far away, Concubine Rong was watching. When she saw the imperial physician, her expression turned ugly, and she ran forward.

Eunuch Ma, didn't you say the emperor was just tired? Why did he invite the imperial physician over?! No, immediately report to the palace that I want to see the emperor.

As she spoke, she lifted her leg and ran towards Murong Ruoyun's sleeping quarters. Her heart
