At this time, Xue Lianhua had already woken up. She had expected that Elder Li would definitely go to the emperor to ask him for help. Her goal was for the emperor to see her. Therefore, even though there was a lot of time, she was not wearing any clothes. Instead, her hair had been ruffled quite a bit. She pretended to be feeling wronged as she sat on the bed, covering her chest with the blanket and sobbing softly.

The emperor walked into the tent but did not enter the inner room. Instead, he sat outside with an ashen face.

"Wake up the crown prince!" He actually didn't celebrate at this moment and was instead infatuated with the beauty of a woman. If the Emperor hadn't cared about his identity as Crown Prince and thought about how it would be embarrassing for all the ministers to find out about this matter, he would have to bear with it. Otherwise, he would have been enraged long ago.

Only then did Xue Lianshui leisurely put on his clothes. His face was covered in tears as he walked out and knelt in front of the emperor, sobbing nonstop.

"Your majesty, you have to avenge this subject's daughter? Just now, the crown prince borrowed the influence of alcohol and actually … forcibly assaulted this subject's daughter. " As Xue Lian spoke, he almost fainted.

In the back room, Eunuch Li waved his hand, and a few eunuchs walked in and poured a bowl of sobering wine into the crown prince's mouth.

Mu Zhuo swallowed a few mouthfuls and coughed. It didn't take long before he slowly woke up. Seeing himself naked on the bed, with several eunuchs beside him, Mu Zhuo didn't understand what was going on.

He walked out in a daze and saw Mu Zheng sitting in the tent with anger written all over his face. Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake. He quickly kneeled down, "This son greets royal father."

Mu Zheng stood up and viciously kicked Mu Zhuoyun's back. He picked up a nearby stool and was about to throw it. When Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Li saw this, they hurriedly tried to comfort the emperor. "Your majesty, the crown prince is young and has just recovered from a serious illness. Please calm your anger!"

When Mu Zheng heard this, he put down his stool and pointed at Mu Zhuang who was lying motionlessly on the ground. "You, I really want to beat you to death! How do you think you can make. This sort of thing. " Mu Zheng looked at Xue Lian's painting beside him and was ashamed to open his mouth.

"This son does not know what has happened to make royal father so angry. I hope that royal father will calm his anger and not harm his body." Mu Zhuo was on the ground as he repeatedly kowtowed in fear.

"You still pretend not to know …" Mu Zheng really couldn't do anything to him.

At this moment, when Xue Lian heard these words, he immediately threw himself at the crown prince. "Your Highness, have you forgotten about it already?"

"What happened?" Mu Zhuo was confused and his eyes were filled with confusion.

"Just now, you were drunk, and then …" When Xue Lian said this, he was ashamed to open his mouth. As he said this, he covered his face and began to cry again.

"What happened, why don't you tell me?" Mu Zhuo could not help but ask anxiously.

Xue Lian drew in tears but did not speak. Mu Zhuo sized her up. Her clothes were in disarray, her hair was disheveled over her shoulders, and her face was covered in tears. Could it be …

Mu Zhuoyun shook his head vigorously as he could not recall what had just happened.

"What happened just now?" Say it, don't cry. " Mu Zhuoyun asked in an even more anxious manner.

Only then did Xue Lian stop his sobbing. He recalled: "Just now, when I was walking outside, I saw His Highness the crown prince lying alone by the stone table. When I went to take a look, I found out that His Highness was still drunk, so I advised him with concern to drink less wine and return home to rest as soon as possible. "I didn't expect that the Crown Prince would suddenly get up. His eyes were bloodshot, and he wouldn't let go until he had grabbed my daughter." As Xue Lian recalled, his body was still trembling.

"And then …"

"And then the Crown Prince actually said something unorthodox to my daughter. My daughter felt that something was wrong and wanted to escape. "I didn't expect that Your Highness would forcefully drag my daughter into the Crown Prince's tent, and then …" "Your highness … Your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness … your highness …" When Xue Lian said this, he started crying again.

When Mu Zhuo heard this, he immediately reacted. Could it be that just now … He had actually done such a thing. Mu Zhuo realized that he had indeed gotten drunk. Could it be that he did such a despicable thing while drunk? Mu Zhuoyun could not believe it.

He slapped his head with all his might as he thought, but he could only vaguely recall that he had indeed encountered Xue Lian's painting outside earlier. At that time, he drank a lot, so he was a bit dizzy. However, he couldn't remember much of what happened after that. Could it really be because of his drunken disorder?

Mu Zhuo's mind was heavy and his thoughts were in a mess. Thinking of these things, he felt extremely guilty. He apologised repeatedly to Xue Lian: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." However, what was the use of saying that?

"Royal brother, how can you do such a thing if you aren't the emperor's younger brother? The innocence of a daughter is the most important thing, not to mention, she is the daughter of Xue Xiang of our Western Lion Country." "If word of this gets out, I'm afraid …" Mu Lingfeng glanced at Mu Zheng and hesitated to speak.

Mu Zheng glanced at him and then stared at Mu Zhuang who was lying on the ground. Who would have thought that Mu Zhuo, who usually appeared to be unyielding, graceful and pure, would do such a thing today? He shouldn't have been greedy and drunk, but he still had an unruly nature after drinking too much.

This gave Mu Zheng a headache. Seeing how virtuous and virtuous the crown prince was, there was no way he could help the crown prince. Mu Zheng truly regretted making him the crown prince at that time.

But this was his first offense, otherwise he would have long since lost his position as Crown Prince. Moreover, if he were to cripple the position of crown prince, there must be a reason behind it. If word of this got out, it would be detrimental to the prestige of the royal family. Thinking of this, Mu Zheng felt awkward.

Xue Lian had already anticipated this in her heart. It was difficult for her to make a decision when she saw the Emperor. She came forward sobbing.

"Your Majesty, please don't blame His Highness, the Crown Prince." This subject has admired Your Highness for a long time, so even though today's affair did not go as planned, this subject is willing to die to ensure Your Highness' innocence. "

When he heard that Xue Lian had drawn such an unyielding and loyal heart to the crown prince, he recalled that even though Mu Zhuoyun's heart was part of his, if he were to grant Xue Lian's painting to his wife, Mu Zhuoyun, then it would no longer be possible for them to be together. Xue Ruoyun's temperament was extremely high, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be someone else's concubine.

This way, Mu Zheng would also be able to avoid this awkward situation of competing with the Crown Prince. He would also no longer be so forgetful of Xue Luoyun that he would come at the right time. Although he had his own selfish thoughts, Mu Zhuzhe was reaping what he sowed in this situation.

Thinking of this, Mu Zheng opened his mouth, "Since the two of you have already cooked a cooked meal and you like the crown prince, why don't we give you to the crown prince today? "Although he is my son, I will never be selfish."

When Xue Lian heard the emperor's words, she was overjoyed in her heart. A trace of treachery and success flashed in the corner of her eyes. She kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude. "Thank you, your majesty." This was the answer she had been begging for for so long.

However, Mu Zhuo was extremely unwilling. He quickly kowtowed and pleaded loudly:

"Father, this son made a great mistake today. Please punish me. No matter how royal father punishes this son, this son is willing to accept it. But regarding this marriage, I hope that royal father can retract this order. "

"Shut up!" Mu Zheng's expression changed, his face was filled with an inviolable, cold expression.

"This is already the best arrangement." Mu Zheng knew in his heart that Mu Zhuoyun was the one whom Mu Zhuoyun loved. However, how could he allow Mu Zhuoyun to have any thoughts about her woman? Not to mention, now that this matter was laid out in front of them, the result was obvious.

"This child's heart belongs to someone, I hope that royal father can grant my wish." Mu Zhuo, who had always been obedient and sensible, painfully begged for his life in order to make a final effort for his love. He knew very well that if he agreed to draw up this marriage with Xue Lian, then it would be impossible for him to do so from now on. Mu Zhuoyun stubbornly fell to the ground and continuously kowtowed, to the point where blood was flowing out from his forehead.

Xue Lian's heart ached and ached when she saw Mu Zhuo like this. With a heartache, she did so much but was still unable to pull back Mu Zhuo's heart. This time, she was able to see it clearly. His heartache was the result of him having just recovered from a serious illness, yet his forehead had been hit so hard that it was dripping with blood.

Mu Zheng knew who the person Mu Zhuo was referring to was, but he didn't ask him, not allowing him to say Xue Luoyun's name. He did not know how to cherish the marriage bestowed on him that day. Now that he wanted to turn back, there was no turning back. He would not give him the chance to do so again. Furthermore, Mu Zheng also believed that compared to Mu Zhuo, he would take better care of Xue Luoyun and give her even better benefits.

After seeing the emperor ponder for a long time, Xue Lianqing was worried that the Emperor would feel sorry for Mu Zhuo and retract his order. If that was the case, then all the hard work he had done for so long would have been in vain. She dried her eyes and stood up shakily.

"Since the Crown Prince is so unwilling, the Emperor doesn't have to force him. This subject will end her own life." After saying that, Xue Lian ran towards a pillar that was further away and was about to crash into it.

It was Eunuch Wei who acted quickly. With a few steps, he pulled her back.

"Miss Xue, you mustn't."

"Let me go, let me die! Now that my innocence has been destroyed and the Crown Prince is unwilling to marry me, what face do I have in this world? If my father finds out, he'll beat me to death!" As Xue Lian cried and complained, he brought out Xue Duan Sheng, intentionally or unintentionally.

Even though Mu Zhuo was the Crown Prince, he shouldn't have violated the daughter of an important official. This was a disgrace, not to mention the fact that this matter was related to the prestige of the royal family. It was unknown if Xue Lian's words were intentional or unintentional, but if she revealed it, the consequences would be severe.

After thinking about it, Mu Zheng gave the order directly, "The matter today is decided. I will marry Xue Lian, the third daughter of Xue Xiang, to you and choose a good day for the marriage. If you like kowtowing, just kowtow it. I don't think I have such a son. "As for the rest of the matters, let's talk about them when we return to the palace." After Mu Zheng finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Mu Lingfeng looked at Mu Zhuozhen, who was kneeling on the ground in a sorry state, and felt very displeased in his heart. He glanced at Eunuch Wei and nodded his head in thanks. Eunuch Wei feigned an unintentional flutter of his whisk in response.

"Father …" Mu Lingfeng caught up to Mu Zheng.

"Hmm?" Mu Zheng turned around, his face still filled with uncontrollable rage.

"Father, your royal brother was confused for a moment. I hope that royal father will not be angry, and take care of your dragon body. " At this time, Mu Lingfeng came forward to express his thoughts.

"Ol 'Three, you're the one who understands the general situation the best. Amongst the sons, you are the one that I am most at ease with. " Mu Zheng praised.
