As the saying goes, it's easy to forget one's pride. At this moment, Yun Zheng was flying proudly while he was purposefully provoking Mu Sheng. Although his hand was placed on Xue Ruoyun's neck, he had forgotten about his courage. Xue Li Yun gathered his strength in his hands and fiercely attacked the underside of the cloud.
Being caught off guard, Yun Zheng flew back a few steps. Mu Ying had long seen this opportunity and used his martial arts to swing his sword at Yun Zheng's throat. Yun Zhengfei spat out a mouthful of blood after being stabbed by the sword, his eyes wide and mouth agape with disbelief written all over his face. Xue Ruyun took the opportunity to run away. However, this Yun Zheng was simply a devil. Even though his blood vessels had exploded and he was bleeding profusely, he was still enduring the pain. He slowly raised his large saber and chopped at Xue Ruoyun.
"Be careful!" Mu Ying exclaimed in surprise as he flew up. However, he was a step too late. He helplessly watched as Xue Muyun fell in front of him.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mu Shenglei flew into a rage. He furiously channeled his sword and instantly sliced Yun Zheng into pieces.
"Xue Luoyun, how are you doing?" Mu Rong Zhan turned around and helped Xue Ruoyun up from the ground. She was bleeding profusely and had already lost all signs of life, fainting on the spot.
Xue Lian, who had originally wanted to see Xue Ruyun humiliated, was hiding at the side. She had watched the entire scene with her own eyes. After the crowd dispersed, she carefully went out and ran down the mountain.
At this moment, when Mu Zheng heard the news, he had already led a group of men to rush up the mountain. However, he only saw Mu Ying carrying a bloodied Xue Ruoyun as he descended.
"How is it?" Mu Zheng greeted him with an anxious expression on his face.
"Young mistress..."
"Quick, Imperial Physician Xuan."
It was the most lively time of the Lantern Festival. At this moment, a group of imperial guards separated the crowd and opened up a path for them in the center of the capital. After that, they saw the Great General Mu Ying carrying Xue Ruyun as he rode on his fine horse and galloped towards the general's mansion. Following that, a palanquin was also being escorted towards the Prime Minister's residence. It was just that no one knew who was inside the palanquin, but to be able to alert the guards of the army, one could guess that their identities were very high.
This matter had temporarily become the best-selling piece of news for the night. Everyone began to guess what had happened between Xue Luoyun, the conscription of kings, and that mysterious person.
Xue Duan Sheng was in the mansion drinking tea when he saw Mu Ying suddenly rush in with Xue Ruyun in his arms. He hurriedly put down his teacup and stood up to greet him. "Conquering King, what's the situation …."
Mu Sheng couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, and directly carried Xue Ruyun to listen to Yu Xuan. Xue Duan Sheng didn't even have time to react to what was going on when another person in plain clothes walked in.
Xue Duan Sheng instantly reprimanded angrily, "Where are the guards of the mansion? How could they let a person barge in so easily?! see my Palace door as nothing! "
However, when he heard the angry shout, that person did not stop. Instead, he directly walked over, and did not see any guards stopping him.
"How dare you!" Xue Duan Sheng shouted loudly, then angrily walked over.
As he drew closer, he realized why the figure of this person was so familiar. Only when that person walked under the light did Xue Duan Sheng realize that the person who had come was His Majesty.
"Ah, your majesty!" Xue Duan Sheng's legs went limp as he knelt down. It turned out that the guards at the entrance also wanted to stop Mu Zheng. When they saw the tokens in his hands, they had all knelt outside.
"Xue Xiang, don't stand on ceremony. Where is this Xue Luoyun right now?" Mu Zheng didn't have the time to explain the various etiquette to Xue Duan Sheng and directly went straight to the point.
"She, is … the Emperor follows his subject." Xue Duan Sheng hurriedly lowered his head and led the way.
At this moment, Yun Zhi knew that the emperor was about to arrive, so she quickly ran to the entrance of the small courtyard to kneel down and receive the lead.
"Someone, invite Doctor Lin!" Xue Duan Sheng led the way to Xue Li's room. When he saw that she was barely breathing, he hurriedly ordered.
"No need, I have already chosen the imperial physician." Mu Zheng's face was filled with anxiety. He had called for the imperial physician along the way to bring the medicine ingredients from the palace.
"Imperial Physician Zhang, quickly diagnose the illness!"
The Prime Minister's Estate had never had so many nobles present before. For a moment, Xue Duan Sheng was actually at a loss as to what to do and hung his head to the side.
It took a long time for Imperial Physician Zhang to make a detailed diagnosis before he finally reported his illness.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Miss Xue has been hit several times. She has lost too much blood and is on the verge of death. I have just used a silver needle to prick her Yongquan point, Baihui point, etc., temporarily stopped the blood, saved life. "This subject will open a few more prescriptions, which will be used for external application and internal consumption. With the aid of expensive Chinese medicine, I believe they will soon be converted into peace."
When Mu Zheng and the others heard this news, they finally relaxed.
"Then why is he still not awake?" Seeing that Xue Ruyun's face was deathly pale, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes were tightly shut, but he still didn't feel reassured.
"Reporting to Conqueror, because Miss Xue has lost too much blood and is extremely tired, she has fallen into a deep sleep. This is a form of self-protection for her body. You can wake up in less than two days.
After hearing Imperial Physician Zhang's explanation, Mu Ying finally relaxed.
"You can prescribe whatever medicinal ingredients you need. If you don't have any in the Prime Minister's Palace, you can go to the palace to get them." Mu Zheng said with a stern expression.
"Okay."
Xue Duan Sheng, who was standing at the side, could clearly see that the Emperor was extremely concerned about Xue Buyun, so why didn't she notice this earlier? Xue Duan Sheng's heart was filled with regret, as she had almost forgotten about this precious treasure. She was the light that illuminated her career.
"The servants of the mansion listen to orders and take good care of the young miss. If anything happens, we will not forgive them." In front of the Emperor, Xue Li Sheng's false intention was to see Xue Lao Yun in a very important light.
Afterwards, in order to not disturb Xue Ruyun's rest, everyone returned to the main hall.
At this moment, after hearing the news, Lady Zhao and Xue Lian, who had returned to the residence to change, rushed over to pay their respects. When Mu Ying saw Xue Lian's painting, he immediately remembered that tonight's matter had something to do with her.
"Royal brother, what happened today was Painter Xue Lian!" Mu Sheng's face was gloomy and cold as he spoke while looking straight at Xue Lian.
Hearing his words, Xue Lianhua was so scared that he fell to his knees and quivered. "This subject doesn't have a daughter. Why would you say that, Prince Conqueror?"
"You still dare to quibble!" Mu Sheng then explained what he had said and heard at the lantern festival, one by one.
"What crime should I commit for daring to draw by Xue Lian?" When Mu Zheng heard Mu Sheng's narration, he was instantly enraged.
Xue Duan Sheng didn't know what was going on and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy when he saw this. "Please calm your anger, your majesty. There might be a misunderstanding. "You, you better hurry up and explain." Xue Duan Sheng lowered his head and angrily berated the nearby Xue Lian as he urged him.
Since Xue Lian dared to do this, she had already thought of an excuse long ago. However, she did not expect that Mu Ying would hear the conversation, so she was shocked in her heart and could only try to prove her innocence. Since Yun Zhengfei was already dead, even if Mu Ying heard it with his own ears, he would not have any evidence. Thinking of this, Xue Lian displayed her superb acting skills. She sobbed quietly and tried to defend herself: "My daughter was wronged. My daughter did go and buy a candied flakes, but she never said these words to the one who sold the candied fruits. Besides, there were too many people on the street. Perhaps it was because the king had seen things for a while and mistook others for his women. Besides, if this subject has really said anything to that person, please send someone to confront her. This subject's daughter and sister are deeply in love, how could I frame her? " As he spoke, Xue Lian wiped her tears away with a silk handkerchief.
