C154

The wheels of the carriage rolled on the road as they left the village. Every time they walked a certain distance, Lin Mu Fan's heart would hurt even more. She didn't even have the courage to look back.

As the Boss cried, Lin Mufan pulled him into his embrace and the mother cried with him. What could be more painful than seeing someone you love but unable to be with him?

She really didn't want to leave Long Ze alone here, but there was nothing she could do. If she was strong enough, then she wouldn't need to be restricted to being the King. Unfortunately, she wasn't strong enough.

How could Long Ze not feel heartache when Lin Mofan and the Boss left, especially when he heard the crying of the Boss' name, Zhao Lai. However, he could only remain where he was as he listened to the crying sounds of the Boss. He watched as the long team of riders moved further and further away.

What made him surprised was that the Duke Rong didn't really do anything to him, but left with Lin Mofan and the others.

This was not like the personality of Duke Rong. He did not know what actions he would take, nor did he care!

"Empress, don't be sad. As long as the late emperor is still alive." When Little Green saw the depressed look on Lin Mu Fan's face, she held out her hand to cover Lin Mu Fan's cold palm as she consoled him in a low voice.

Lin Mu Fan nodded his head. He hugged the spanking Boss and leaned on the car's edge as he stared at the bustling street.

The curtains swayed from the shaking of the carriage. Lin Mu Fan raised the curtain and compared to the palace, the outside world was much more lively. Only the heavens knew that she didn't want to return to the palace at all.

"Mommy, why can't royal father accompany us back to the palace?" The Boss stared at Lin Moyu with a pair of teary eyes as he asked. He had already asked this question countless times, but he still kept asking.

Lin Mu Fan caressed her little head and smiled bitterly: "Because he won't be able to go back. The Boss needs to grow up quickly. Once the Boss sits in the throne, Royal Father will be able to come back and live with us. Do you understand?"

"Got it, the Boss needs to work hard one day." The Boss nodded in agreement. Lin Mufan patted his head in satisfaction. The Boss was a very sensible and mature person. It was her pride in this life and was also her mental support.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the window, "You dare to come here to drink without money? I don't think you want to live!"

Lin Mu Fan wasn't someone who liked gossiping. After hearing these curses, he only took a glance at them and didn't pay any attention to them. When the car passed by the bustling crowd, Xiao Lu suddenly said, "Empress, that person's back looks like King Rui!"

Lin Mu Fan was stunned. He quickly stuck his head out and looked behind him. In the crowd, there was a man covered in filth hiding behind a wall. His hair was messy and his face was dirty to the point where you couldn't see his face. Those hollow eyes did not look at anyone, nor did they show any fear. Instead, they were filled with intense pain.

In front of him, a man dressed as a bartender swung a stick at him mercilessly, cursing, "I'll let you drink! I'll beat you to death, and see if you dare to come back again! "

Prince Rong used his foot to kick the horse's belly as he walked over. He smiled and said, "Mu Chen, what are you looking at? He's just a beggar."

Lin Mofan smiled faintly, "It's nothing. I just heard the commotion." With that, he closed the curtain, isolating the scenery outside. Her heart, however, was sinking bit by bit, hurting bit by bit.

Rui Wang wasn't dead. When she lifted the curtain again, she coincidentally met his gaze. The gaze was gentle, like every time he looked at her, but this time it quickly dropped.

Lin Mofan was stunned for a moment. He quickly took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and stuffed it into Little Green's hands. With a trembling voice, he urged, "Find a chance to get off the car and rescue King Rui from their grasp. Give it to Master Guan."

"That won't do. King Rong won't let King Rui off that easily." Green shook his head. Everyone knew that this was a method used by King Rong to torture King Rui. How could he allow someone to rescue King Rui?

"If anyone dares to stop you, tell them it's my will."

"This... "Fine." Green took the identity of the jade bracelet into his bosom.

The group passed by another street, and as they passed by the Fragrant Sky Tower, the Boss jumped off the carriage, pointing at the Fragrant Sky Tower and said, "Royal Uncle, I want to eat roasted chicken!"

King Rong smiled as he dismounted from his horse and walked to the front of the carriage. He smiled as he asked, "Mu Chen, the young emperor said that he wants to eat roasted chicken."

"I'm tired. I want to return to the palace earlier." Lin Mu Fan intentionally remained unmoved.

The BOSS immediately acted like this: "No way!" I want to eat roast chicken, Queen Mother... I want to eat roast chicken! "

"Mu Chen, just let the little Emperor handle this." King Rong chimed in from the side.

Lin Mu Fan patted Xiao Lu's hand, indicating that she should act as she pleased before climbing out of the carriage. The Boss immediately laughed heartily. With one hand holding onto Lin Mofan and the other holding Prince Rong, it happily walked towards the Fragrant Sky Tower.

Although the boss of Fragrant Sky Tower didn't know Lin Mofan and the Boss, the moment he saw King Rong, he jumped up from his chair in shock. He hurriedly came forward to greet them. "Your Highness, please enter the private room. This humble one will clear the area for you right now."

"There's no need to clear it out. Let's just take a seat in the private room." After saying that, the Boss bowed and welcomed the 'family of three' into the private room. As he poured tea, he said ingratiatingly, "Prince, please take a seat. This commoner will immediately bring you a roasted chicken."

After saying that, he trotted out of the restaurant. Very soon, the roasted chicken came up. King Rong cut off a chicken leg for the Boss and handed it to Lin Mofan with a smile, "Mu Chen, you must be hungry after walking for half a day."

"No need, I have no appetite." Lin Mu Fan turned his head away.

Duke Rong's hand that was holding the chicken leg froze in midair, but he still coaxed gently, "Eat some, I know you're in a bad mood, but you can't use your body to joke, right?"

Lin Mofan ignored him and helped wipe the BOSS's greasy lips. She had always taken a disdainful attitude towards the Prince Rong's concern. He was already used to it. Therefore, he did not give up. Instead, he used his other hand to grab her palm and placed the difficult leg into her palm.

"I said no!" Lin Mufan angrily smashed his leg at him, leaving an oily mark on his chest before falling to the ground. Everyone present was stunned. As Lin Mofan saw her glossy and oily appearance, a trace of guilt flashed across his eyes. However, she didn't express it in words. She felt that Prince Rong owed her even more!

King Rong didn't care. After a while, he picked up the handkerchief and began to wipe off the grease.

"Boss, hurry up and eat. Let's go home early." She felt that there was no way for her to peacefully stay in the same room as Prince Rong. This kind of atmosphere was too oppressive that she almost couldn't take it anymore.

The BOSS raised the chicken leg and looked at the two of them, "Muhou, Huanggu, you two eat too!"

"The Queen Mother won't eat it." Lin Mu Fan continued to wipe the corner of his mouth. The poor Boss' eyes were still swollen. He had just cried all the way.

When Lin Mufan returned to the palace, he felt uneasy. He looked out at the weather and saw the sky darken. The room was lighted, and Pearl placed the stove at her feet and stood silently at one side.

It was snowing outside, but the interior of the house was warm. Lin Mufan stared at the sizzling stove at his feet. In his heart, he was thinking about Longze, who lived in a cold courtyard. How lonely and cold would it be to be alone?

If she could, she would really like to be by his side. Even if they lived in a cold room together, it would definitely be warmer than now. What was the point of staying in the palace with her alone?

She also thought about King Rui. She wondered how he was doing right now. Those people were so ruthless, and the weather was so cold.

She had always thought that Rui Wang was already dead, because the poison from the dragon's lance could only be cured by his heart. Now that the poison had been resolved, if Rui Wang was still alive, then this would truly be a great miracle!

Just as she was thinking about the Rui King, Xiao Lu came back hastily. She took off her hair and placed the jade bracelet in front of Lin Mofan, "Empress, everything has been settled."

"How is King Rui? Are you hurt? " Lin Mu Fan asked anxiously.

Green said in distress, "It's very strange. It seems that Prince Rui suffered some internal injury, and it's quite severe. However, after looking for a doctor for a long time, I couldn't find any problems, so I don't know what's wrong with him."

With his internal injuries, Lin Mofan pondered for a moment before raising his head to ask, "Is he currently living with the Guan family?"

"Yes, no matter how I tried to persuade him in the beginning, Prince Rui wouldn't speak and wouldn't leave with this servant. Later, I went to call Master Guan over." "Master Guan saw that it was King Rui. Because he was afraid of offending King Rong, he was initially unwilling to accept him. Only when this servant said that this servant would take care of him did he dare to bring King Rui back." Little Green said.

Lin Mu Fan took in a light breath and muttered bitterly, "Looks like Lord Guan isn't safe. The Duke of Rong will make his move sooner or later. When that happens, the Duke of Rui will just die. What should I do?"

Seeing that she was worried, Little Green comforted her, "Empress, don't worry. Let Prince Rui stay with Lord Guan for a few days. With the Empress's orders, Lord Guan won't dare to slow down."

Lin Mu Fan smiled bitterly in his heart. How could she not be anxious? All the men who had loved her and doted on her had now come to no good end. As the empress dowager, she didn't know what to do.

"Xiao Lu, pass on my decree to send King Rui to Poison King Valley to treat his illness. Also, send your majesty … If the late emperor brought back the Poison King's Valley to help him research the medicinal herbs, he would have to settle this matter in the morning. "

Other than this, she couldn't think of any other way, even though this method might not work!

Of course she didn't know what King Rui was suffering from, but she could guess that it was definitely not a light disease. Perhaps it had something to do with the heart. Besides Poison King Valley, she couldn't think of anywhere else that had the ability to save him.

Green said worriedly, "But Empress, will Prince Rong send Prince Rui to the Poison King's Valley?"

"I'll personally send you out of the city tomorrow. I don't believe that he can do anything to me." Lin Mofan laughed coldly. Little Green sighed helplessly. "Alright, Empress, be careful. Don't make Prince Rong anxious."

"I know." Lin Mu Fan nodded his head as he fixed his gaze at the distant horizon. Other than the darkness, he could not see anything else. It seemed that the sky was going to snow again.
