C157

Lin Mufan did not sleep that night. The stove beside her was sizzling as she sat by the window all night. Her gaze never left the Poison King's Valley. She was worried that Prince Rong would lead troops to intercept King Rui!

The sky had already begun to turn white when Eunuch An's respectful voice sounded from outside the hall. "Your Majesty, it's time to get up and go to court!"

Lin Mofan's body moved. He turned around and walked towards the Cabinet. He lifted the Boss out of the warm blanket and smiled as he kissed his little face, "Your Majesty, it's time for the assembly."

"Mommy …" The Boss unhappily crawled under the blanket, muttering, "Can I not be the emperor? Being the emperor is so annoying. I'm going to make it for my father!"

Lin Mofan smiled bitterly. His heart was filled with pain. To be able to sit in the imperial court and take charge every day at such a young age was indeed quite tiring. Of course, she hoped that she could let Long Zhaoting continue on with his throne, but … Is that possible?

"Darling, royal father only has a son like you, so of course you're the only one capable of being emperor." Lin Mu Fan hid the bitterness on his face deep within his heart. Then, he hugged him on his lap and helped him to dress.

As he draped the small dragon robe over the Boss, Lin Mofan's fingers caressed the gargantuan on his chest. He felt that he had never been so considerate as to dress the dragon robe and serve it well.

In the past, apart from hatred, she had never had the chance to properly love and get along with him. She was forced to live in two different places and never see him again. When she thought of the past, besides regret, she felt deep guilt for Long Zhaoting.

She knew that Longze loved her, but she had always treated his love as if it were nothing. She had always let him live a life of mutual hatred.

"Mommy, you're daydreaming again." The Boss had been raising both its hands for a long time, but the empress, who claimed to be helping it put on clothes, just stood there, unmoving.

"Oh, Mommy was wrong." Lin Mu Fan came back to his senses and continued to help him get dressed before leading him out of the Hall of Clear Harmony. This was where Long Ze's palace used to be. Ever since he left, she and the Boss had been staying.

She could feel his breath in every corner of the room, and every day she lived in it. She kept having the feeling that he was right by her side, but she just couldn't see or touch him.

Lin Mufan sat in the imperial court and observed the officials below through the beaded curtains. However, he could not find the figure of the Prince Rong. He didn't go to the morning court? Why didn't you go to the morning assembly? Could it be that he was busy with something?

What else could he be busy with at this time? Lin Mu Fan's heart became increasingly uneasy. Without waiting for the imperial court to come to an end, she quietly retreated from the backstage. She asked an official for information, saying that the Emperor had not come to the court because he was not feeling well.

Just as she was wondering why Prince Rong was feeling so unwell, Little Green came back, pale and bloodless. From the looks of it, it seemed that it was seriously injured. Upon seeing Lin Mofan, Little Green bowed in accordance with the rules, "Your servant greets the Empress …"

"Little Green, what's wrong with you?" Lin Mu Fan hurriedly helped her up and sat her on a chair. He sized up her expression and asked anxiously, "Are you injured? "How did you get hurt?"

"He was beaten up by Prince Rong's men …" The moment Little Green said this, it immediately coughed out a few drops of blood. Lin Mofan grew anxious. He immediately ordered his maidservant, "Quickly invite the imperial physician over!"

"Empress, please don't!" Little Green hastened to say. Only the concubines could call in the imperial physicians. Servants had no right to be served by the imperial physicians, no matter how ill they were.

Lin Mu Fan ignored her and asked worriedly, "Has the Duke Rong sent troops to stop you? He even injured you? How is King Rui now? "He can't be …"

Xiao Lu saw that Lin Mofan was anxious to the point that he couldn't think of any other words to say. She smiled and comforted, "Empress, don't worry. The Rui King is fine now. Fortunately …" Huang … The late emperor rushed over in time to rescue King Rui. "

"Did the late emperor rescue him?" Lin Mofan was extremely happy. He was shocked that Long Zhaofan was the one who saved the Rui King. He liked that the two of them were fine. This was exactly what she had been hoping for day and night!

"Yes, Empress." Green answered with a smile.

Lin Mu Fan was elated for a moment and suddenly asked: "What about Prince Rong? Is he okay? "

Prince Rong had not gone to court today. Furthermore, he had been informed that his body was not feeling well. Could it be that he was injured? In other words, Lin Mufan didn't want anything to happen to any of the three of them. She hoped for peace and hope that they would be all right.

Xiao Lu coughed lightly again before replying, "Prince Rong has been chased by the men from the Mighty Heaven Alliance. From the looks of it, he doesn't have a chance to win. What happened afterwards, this servant did not know. At that time, this servant had already returned with the wounded escort of Lord Liu. "Empress …" Why do you have to worry about the life and death of King Rong? "

Little Green was indeed puzzled. If Duke Rong died, wouldn't the world be much more peaceful? Didn't the little emperor and empress dowager not have to be controlled by the Prince Rong themselves? She had no idea what Lin Mufan was thinking.

"Actually... None of them deserve to die. " Lin Mofan took a deep breath and patted her hand gently, "Little Green, rest well. I'll go fetch the emperor's court."

"Thank you, esteemed Empress."

Lin Mufan went to pick up the BOSS from the imperial court. When he was sent back to the Hall of Management, he saw that the table was piled high with spring creases. He could only helplessly sigh. He asked: "Eunuch Liu, why hasn't Prince Rong entered the palace yet?"

"In reply to the Empress, Prince Rong is feeling ill. He has already sent someone to inform the Empress that he will enter the palace tomorrow morning." Eunuch Liu replied.

"What happened to King Rong's body?" Lin Mofan couldn't help but be concerned. She knew that Prince Rong had been injured in the Poison King's Valley, but she didn't know how serious his injuries were, so she had always wanted to know.

"I heard it's just some minor injuries. It's alright." Eunuch Liu replied.

Lin Mufan thought for a moment and decided to pay a visit to the Rong King's manor. The empress dowager's visit to the Rong King's mansion wasn't suitable for her to take action, but in the Revolving Moon Kingdom's royal family, regulation was already out of the question and they didn't have a good reputation.

The rumor that Prince Rong had resorted to a conspiracy to control the imperial government and that he had a warm relationship with the Empress Dowager had already spread throughout the country. Now, Lin Mofan no longer needed to worry about whether there would be any repercussions as he led a few maidservants towards the Rong King's manor.

When Lin Mufan arrived at the Rong King's mansion, Prince Rong was resting in his cabinet in the backyard. When the little girl informed him that the empress dowager had arrived, Prince Rong was startled. He then let out a sigh and said, "You can go tell the empress dowager that she can rest easy. Nothing that she's worried about has happened, so she doesn't need to worry."

The little girl walked out and knelt in front of Lin Mufan to pass on the Prince Rong's message. Lin Mufan looked at the quiet room and walked into it, directly into the Prince Rong's cabinet.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager …" The maidservants hurriedly retreated to the side.

Prince Rong didn't expect her to directly rush in, but after a moment, he quickly regained his calm and calmly said, "You've come." To blame him? Or did she come to see him make fun of her? Prince Rong could only think of these two things.

Seeing Prince Rong leaning against the bed with a pale face and no trace of blood in his mouth, Lin Mufan calmly said, "I heard that you are sick and brought you a thousand year ginseng soup to nourish your body. I hope that you can recover quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Pearl immediately stepped forward and handed the bowl of soup in her hands over to him.

Prince Rong's heart ached slightly as he looked at the small waves in the soup bowl. Lin Mofan had sent him the soup, and now he was sending him the soup? Can he drink? He had nearly killed the two men she cared most about last night.

"King Rong, do you think I would poison the soup?" Lin Mu Fan coldly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't be so insidious. Moreover, I poisoned you to death. Who will help the Boss complete those heavy national affairs?"

In truth, Rui Wang also believed that she wouldn't do such a heartless thing. It was just that she was a little worried. Perhaps it was due to her guilt, but he had done many things that made her hate him.

He took the medicine bowl and drank all the ginseng soup inside, then put the bowl back into Pearl's tray. When Lin Mufan saw the medicine juice on his mouth, he bent down slightly and wiped it off with a silk handkerchief.

In the eyes of others, this action of hers, which she felt was so ordinary that it could not be any more ordinary, seemed very ambiguous. Even the girls behind him instinctively ducked their heads and backed out of the cabinet.

Lin Mu Fan momentarily forgot that this was an ancient era. When he noticed the abnormality in his surroundings, he started to feel uneasy. Just as she was about to retract her hand, King Rong suddenly grabbed her. She was startled as she looked at him in astonishment.

Duke Rong grabbed his hand, and his pale face had a look of intense anger. He glared at her and asked coldly, "What exactly do you mean? Was he concerned about me? You clearly hate me to the bone in your heart, but why are you pretending to be so concerned? "

He could not understand what Lin Mofan was thinking. This feeling of not being able to understand made him feel uncomfortable and made him uneasy.

Lin Mofan's little hand was clenched in his palm and felt a burning pain. He was too strong.

"I do hate you because you've done many wrong things that shouldn't have been done, but hatred doesn't mean that I must kill you. I can't care less about you. You and Rui Wang are both brothers of Long Zhe and the boss's royal uncle. I should care and protect you guys well.

"Do you think that's possible?" King Rong coldly smiled. This was no longer possible!

He wanted to win against Long Zhaofeng, but when he finally won, he realized that everything was meaningless. He still didn't get what he wanted, he still loved the people he loved, he was still alone.

"I know that's impossible, but I also don't know what else I can say. The reason I came here today was very simple, I just want to see if you're okay." Lin Mofan secretly exerted his strength. He intended to struggle free from his palm, but was unable to do so no matter how hard he tried. His hand closed over hers, and he let go, ashamed, of the pain in his grip.

Duke Rong suddenly embraced her waist as he leaned into her embrace and muttered softly, "Mu Chen, come with me. Let's leave this place. I'm still the same as before and only want you to stay by my side. I don't want anything else!"

Lin Mofan's hands were frozen in mid-air as he looked at his expression of deep love. Those who were hurt by love were always in extreme pain. She had experienced this pain too many times. Although she could not bear to do so, she still shook her head resolutely, as she always did when he begged her. "It's impossible, Prince Rong, I can't go with you."

It was impossible in the past, but now it was even more impossible. The person she loved had appeared, and regardless of what Long Zhaosu looked like now, she still wanted to be with him. Only with him, her home was truly complete.

King Rong didn't even have any hopes that she would follow him, but hearing her rejection again, he was disappointed. He released her and slowly leaned back on the bed. The expression on his face became calm. "You can go."

"Have a good rest." Lin Mu Fan originally wanted to advise him to give up on chasing after the King Rui and Long Ze, but he held himself back in the end. After giving Prince Rong a final look, he turned around and walked out of the cabinet and returned to the palace.
