The brocade palace was much larger than the Cloud Palace, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard were neatly trimmed. With the addition of the artificial mountain stream, it was as beautiful as a work of art.

"Empress, this place is so beautiful." This was the first time a servant girl entered Jinhe Palace, and she couldn't help but praise him.

It was indeed very beautiful. Lin Mu Fan hugged the BOSS tightly and stepped into the room. He could see a portrait of Consort Rong with a charming smile and elegance. It was obvious from this portrait that it had been recently made. She couldn't even bear to think about how Rong Fei must have felt when she asked the painter to draw a painting. She must have been very excited.

"Someone, remove the painting on the wall." Green called to the eunuch at the door.

A young eunuch immediately trotted in and stood on a chair to take down the picture of Imperial Consort Rong. As Lin Mufan watched him take out the picture from Jin He Palace, he suddenly felt a trace of indescribable sadness. How many generations of beauties had this house lived in? What happened to them? Are they all good?

The room was quickly cleaned up without a single trace of the concubine left behind. Lin Mu Fan's suppressed heart suddenly felt a little better. He carried the Boss into the Cabinet and slept with it.

When she woke up at night, it was already the time to light the lamp. A servant girl suddenly took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and placed it in the ornament box. She then silently turned around and walked out.

Lin Mufan took out the slip of paper and looked at it for a moment before crumpled it into a ball and held it tightly in his hand. The day after tomorrow, the Duke of Rong told her to find a reason to leave the palace.

She had already heard that the army of the King had already left for the north, and it seemed that he was still keeping his word. Of course, she could not disobey him, or else he might return at any moment.

The day had arrived so quickly that she was reluctant to leave the Emperor and the Boss, but she was going to leave the day after tomorrow. Her vision began to blur at the thought of parting with her son and her husband.

"Empress, it's time for dinner." Green walked over and urged softly.

Lin Mu Fan nodded his head and followed her to the dining table. He looked at the table full of delicacies, but didn't even have the slightest bit of appetite. After casually eating two bites, he returned to the cabinet to accompany the Boss. The Boss was still resting, but she still cherished the last bit of her time with him.

Perhaps after the day after tomorrow, they would never be able to see him again in their entire lives. Ever since the Boss was born, they had been forced to separate from each other.

Who did she owe in her previous life? Why did the heavens punish her and the Boss like this?

The night wind was a little chilly, and the candles in the room were very dim. Those small flames were like flowers blooming in the darkness with a dreamy radiance, illuminating the entire room with a hazy light.

Lin Mufan sat by the bedside and quietly watched the night outside the window. The Boss had just eaten dinner and was now asleep again. A child was still a child. No matter what happened next, it would always be carefree.

The servants had all gone to sleep. Green had urged her to go to sleep early a few times, but she wasn't sleepy at all. In order not to embarrass others, she had to hide in the Cabinet.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mufan was suddenly shocked by the sound of footsteps coming from outside. Soon after, he saw Long Zhaofeng's figure appear in front of him. In the darkness, his figure was tall and slender, blocking the shadow of a candle. Standing in the light behind him, no one could clearly see the expression on his face, but they could feel the tenderness radiating from him. He had indeed come to accompany her on her first night in Jinhe Palace.

Long Zhaoting walked over to the candlestick and lit a few other candles, lighting up the room. Then, he walked to Lin Mufan's side and asked with a smile, "Mu Chen, what are you thinking about? "Why aren't you sleeping?"

As he spoke, he reached out and took the Boss from her arms. He kissed the Boss on its forehead and placed it in the corner of the bed. Lin Mufan liked to sleep in the same bed as the Boss and never let the Boss stay with his nanny. Her love for the Boss had already reached the point of Qi deviation.

Lin Mufan watched his every move and sighed in his heart. In a few days, she would no longer be able to personally watch him display such a doting attitude towards the Boss.

"Your majesty, why have you come?" She looked at him and asked a useless question, because she really couldn't find any words to begin with.

"Of course I'm here to accompany you." Long Ze Xuan smiled as he pulled her into his embrace and said: "Mu Chen, do you still remember the words that I once said? "You are my queen, this chamber will one day be yours."

"But Your Majesty … I am afraid Mu Chen will not be able to receive the Emperor's favor. " Lin Mu Fan said as he opened his mouth, visibly moved. Although the position of Empress was important, it was never something she wanted. Now that the position was within reach, she was about to leave as well. It was something she was willing to give up!

Long Ze didn't like her rejecting him. He pretended to be angry as he said, "Mu Chen, you have to do whatever you want right now. You have to do whatever you don't want. Do you want to go against my will?"

"I... "I just …" Lin Mofan was speechless. What was she supposed to say? Was she going to tell him herself that she was going north to live with him? She was afraid that after she revealed this secret, Long Zhaoting would be the first one to send out an army and chase back the King. With his feelings for her, he wouldn't be willing to let her go.

"But what? Are you sorry? " The expression on his face changed as he smiled and looked at her, "Alright, then I'll say that you're the empress. When the world is peaceful again in a few days, I'll carry out the conferred ceremony to announce that you, Lin Mu Chen, are my empress."

Lin Mu Fan was moved. His eyes that were as clear as water were filled with emotions as he silently stared at him. After a long while, she sighed and said, "Then, Mu Chen, I'll thank Your Majesty for your grace first."

He wanted her to be the queen, but... She would never have the chance to do so in her entire life. If she could stay together with him, she might not have any status or power, but she could not. She would never have the chance to choose!

"Mu Chen, don't cry." He whispered into her ear, then stooped to lift her up and place her gently on the bed. He pressed her down and looked down at her, kissing the tears that seeped out of the corners of her eyes due to her emotions. Where did these tears come from? He still wasn't sure. Was it out of helplessness or gratitude?

That night, Lin Mufan slept in Long Zhaofeng's embrace. Sleeping in his embrace always gave her a strong sense of security. Therefore, although it was a new environment, it was unlikely that he would choose a bed.

Perhaps it was because her heart was always thinking about the matter of leaving, but when she fell asleep, she had nightmares. When she woke up, she saw Long Ze's concerned eyes and words, "Mu Chen, are you alright?"

Lin Mu Fan shook his head as he carried him to sleep. Just before dawn, she suddenly dreamed that someone was rushing towards her with a sword in hand. However, just as the tip of the sword was about to stab into her heart, the scene changed and the sword stabbed straight into Long Zhaofeng's heart, causing blood to splatter all over the ground.

"No!" Don't kill him —! " Lin Mu Chen screamed as his hands clawed at the air. After clawing for a while, he was held by someone into a warm palm. Immediately afterwards, Long Ze's anxious voice sounded above him, "Mu Chen, Mu Chen, wake up. Hurry and open your eyes and look. It's me who's by your side. It's me …"

After hearing this familiar voice, Lin Xiuchen finally felt ashamed and calmed down. Soon after, he slowly opened his eyes. When she saw the familiar face that had always appeared in her dreams above her head, she suddenly threw herself at him and hugged him tightly. She whispered in his ear, "Don't die …" "Don't die …!"

"Mu Chen, what are you talking about?" Who will die? " Long Ze was confused by her sudden words and couldn't understand what she was saying at all. She could only hug her with a pained heart. She had been having nightmares all night, so why was it like this?

Lin Mufan held onto him tightly and choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, I dreamt that you …"

She was unable to continue the sentence she wanted to say. The greatest taboo of a Sovereign King was for others to speak unlucky words to him, especially the word 'death'. Of course, she didn't dare to say it out loud for fear of violating the emperor's taboo!

Long Zhaosu let out a low laugh, caressed her hair and comforted her, "You dreamed that I was dead, right? So you're sad? Did he cry? Mu Chen, you're finally worried about the safety of Zhen's life? "

This was a good sign! She would finally be able to care about his life. She was crying like this because of a dream. She felt her heart ache, but she was also moved. He lowered his head and kissed the tears on her face. She comforted him gently, "Mu Fan, Nothing will happen to me and I won't die. Can you stop crying?"

"Really?" Lin Mu Chen suddenly withdrew from his embrace as he asked as his eyes flickered with tears. That dream just now was too scary. It was so fresh that it seemed like it was real.

Could it be a bad sign? Would he encounter any danger in the future? Lin Mu Fan was worried as he bit his lips to prevent himself from thinking about these unlucky things. The Emperor is an Eminent Holiness. It won't happen that easily. It definitely won't happen!

"Of course it's true. Dreams are the complete opposite of reality." Long Zhaoting kissed her again and said in a low voice, "Alright, don't cry. Since I woke up the Boss, I won't be afraid to sleep with you in my arms."

"Yes." Lin Mu Fan leaned against his chest and suddenly lost all sleepiness as he stared at the ceiling in a daze. Noticing that she wasn't sleepy, Long Zhaoting rubbed his eyes to clear them a bit and prepared to talk to her.

Lin Mufan stared at the ceiling for a while, before turning his gaze back to his face and asking in a low voice, "Your majesty, will you really be safe and always be by my side and the Boss' side?"

"Of course I will. Our mission in this life is not only to protect the world, but also to protect you and the little prince." Long Ze pulled the silken quilt on the Boss' body, gently stroking her face as he pulled it back.

Lin Mu Fan was slightly relieved. As long as he had the faith to protect her and the Boss, it would be fine. That way, he would at least be a bit more careful and try his best to protect himself.
