Pampered Into Being The Empress - Chapter 54
The golden eagle in the grassland is always extremely fierce when hunting. The golden eagle of Tuobayu often swoops from the sky to the ground after aiming at its prey from a height of ten thousand meters.
The weight of the golden eagle is not small, and the claws are extremely sharp. There are two causes of death for those wolves. Otherwise, the claws pierced the skull and died, or the cruel fowl took the side Fang used a pointed beak to puncture the arteries of the neck, and died slowly due to excessive blood loss.
Mu Huai has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his reaction to the people or things who attacked him was much more alert than ordinary people. Out of intuition, he gradually realized something was wrong.
Animals have always reacted the fastest to the appearance of natural enemies. Mu Huai saw that the maroon horse he was riding raised his front hoof slightly and made a low neighing sound.
He could also clearly see a large shadow falling on the ground in front of the horse’s head, and the shadow was getting bigger and bigger.
Mu Huai looked at him slightly, he didn’t think much about the reason, and after pulling the horse back, he quickly jumped from the horse back to the side.
When the golden eagle dives into its prey, it cannot easily change its direction, otherwise its power will be greatly reduced.
And because the grasslands of Bianjing and Falconry are not the same, the dense buildings and excessive updrafts in Bianjing more or less hinder the power of the golden eagle to dive down.
Just listen to the sound of “Boom——”.
Mu Huai stood next to the amazed attendants, watching the golden eagle hit the maroon horse’s back with gloomy eyes, and the horse neighed in pain.
After a long while, he finally fell to the ground with a “bang–”
The look of all the attendants suddenly changed, they were about to sip their escorts, but they were stopped by Mu Huai in time and were ordered to silence.
Rong Xi, who was sitting in the trolley, separated the tulle of the fan, and saw a falling object hitting Mu Huai.
Seeing that he had attacked the wrong target, the golden eagle was about to attack Mu Huai, who was wearing a scarlet red dress.
When it lifted off slightly and was about to dive for the next time, Mu Huai had already grasped the long knife pinned to the waist of his side servant.
The golden eagle dived from mid-air, and its lethality was not as good as it fell from high altitude.
When it was about to approach Mu Huai and the other attendants, Mu Huai’s eyes lighted up, and after drew his sword violently, he chopped the ferocious bird of prey in half.
Before the golden eagle could let out the last tragic whistle, he died tragically under Mu Huai’s knife, and fell into two halves, falling to the ground not far in front of Mu Huai.
Rong Xi almost screamed out, seeing that Mu Huai hadn’t been hurt by the golden eagle, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, but the heart that was pounding because of panic was not calmed for a while.
The royal guard of honor driving a luxurious three-wheeled car, seeing that something was wrong with the prince, stopped moving forward.
Rong Xi tried his best to keep himself calm, fearing that he would lose his temper in front of everyone, but the voice was a little trembling. He raised his voice with concern and asked Xiang Mu Huai: “…Your Majesty, are you okay?”
Mu Huai stared at the dead bird on the ground with cold eyes, and also glanced at the dying maroon horse that was lying on the ground not far away.
Hearing the woman calling him, Mu Huai suddenly realized that she was pregnant and courageous all the time, and she couldn’t see such a **** picture.
Mu Huai walked to the car and saw that the woman had removed the tuan fan. The beautiful face painted in detail was panicked, but she looked at it with a thrilling beauty.
Vivid and gorgeous.
Mu Huai’s voice was calm, and he said to Rong Xi: “It’s lonely, a crazy beast, don’t be afraid.”
“can……”
“Don’t be afraid, it’s okay.” Mu Huai said again.
Rong Xi wanted to say that there was definitely something wrong with Shicai, but considering that Mu Huai was afraid of causing panic among the people around him, he finally fell silent and said nothing.
Mu Huai ordered the attendant to lift the horse corpse and the golden eagle body that had been chopped in half from the middle of the road, and said something to the attendant who picked up the golden eagle body. The attendant nodded after listening.
After a long while, the attendants brought another darker horse, Mu Huai calmly rode on the horse’s back, he waved his whip, and once again ordered the team he met to advance to the Yongxi Palace.
When Anan sat behind the horse, Mu Huai’s eyes darkened.
How could he not guess that someone wanted to kill him with this well-trained golden eagle.
However, today is his wedding day with Rong Xi.
There are so many people in Yujie and Jinmingchi. He can’t let these people panic, nor can he let this matter ruin his wedding ceremony with Rong Xi.
Mu Huai vaguely guessed who the person was, but he was not sure yet.
If he were really that kid, whether he was Rong Xi’s younger brother or not, he would never let him go.
******
It was midsummer night, and there were many Yifang restaurants beside Jinming Pond in Bianjing.
Colorful flags hung on the top of the restaurant, occasionally blown by the summer wind, like colorful clouds floating in the night sky of Bianjing.
Tuobayu found a restaurant at random. After he ordered someone to open a private room, he ordered some food and drinks at random, and sat there alone thinking about his thoughts.
The window was closed, Tuoba Yu looked at the night view of Bianjing with a gloomy expression.
Seeing the life and beauty of the people in the capital city of Qi, on the day of the prince’s wedding, everyone was smiling, but his complexion was still overcast.
His private room is on the fifth floor of the restaurant. You can also see the colorful fireworks above Jinming Pond in the distance. The voice of the restaurant is full of people, occasionally mixed with the sound of singers babbling and singing, and there is also a storyteller in the lobby of the restaurant. People are talking about weird things, and from time to time there are applause from drinkers.
This restaurant is called Neixilou, and it is the highest restaurant in Bianjing. After Mu Huai became the prince, the shopkeeper of Nexilou was not allowed to open the top floor to drinkers.
Because standing at the top of the inner west building, you can overlook the entire Yongxi Forbidden City from it.
Tuoba Yu felt that under Muhuai’s governance in the entire Bianjing, the people’s life was very smooth, and they lived much faster than the people of the feudal country.
He was concentrating on his thoughts, but was interrupted by a delicate voice——
“I have been looking for you for a long time, but you are hiding here and drinking.”
Tuobayu raised his eyes and glanced at Tuobayue, then looked out the window without saying a word.
How annoying, how could I find him again, like a dogskin plaster that can’t be thrown away, I really want to find a chance to kill her.
Tuobayue saw that Tuobayu’s attitude towards her was still the same, indifferent and slightly bored. Although she was slightly disappointed in her heart, she was not like a girl from the Central Plains with too little face.
She sat on the opposite side of Tuoba Yu, picked up the chopsticks, and started using the food and drink on the table.
Tuoba Yu held the lamp, and he glanced at her without saying a word, then looked at the night view of Bianjing outside the window.
Tuobayu finally couldn’t bear the condensation of the atmosphere. She squeezed her palms, and then carefully observed Tuobayu’s expression, and said: “This princess has found the lost thing for you.”
Tuobayu finally shifted his gaze to her and replied faintly: “I didn’t lose anything.”
The corners of Tuoba Yue’s lips were slightly hooked.
She remembered that a few hours ago, after the golden eagle flew away by the Jinming Pond, Tuobayu’s expression was a little sad.
At that time, Tuoba Yue asked incomprehensibly: “Aren’t you going to send someone to look for it?”
Tuobayu replied coldly: “Let it go.”
After speaking, she stayed where she was and left without saying a word.
Tuoba Yue sent an attendant behind him to find the golden eagle’s flight path, and ordered him to find the golden eagle back.
Because she knew that the golden eagle was raised by Tuobayu himself, and he always brought it to his side, and he never gave it to others for feeding.
Tuoba Yue determined that this golden eagle must be important to Tuoba Yu.
From time to time, the waiter bowed his head into the restaurant’s private room, carrying a **** package on his back.
Tuoba Yu reacted swiftly, his eyes could not help changing.
Sure enough, after Tuobayu smiled and ordered the attendant to pour out the golden eagle corpse inside, Tuobayu stood up suddenly from his seat with cold eyebrows.
Tuobayu asked in a deep voice, “What did you do when you found it back?”
Tuobayue’s smile froze on her lips. She was a little dazed. Looking at Tuobayu’s extremely sulky face, she finally replied in confusion: “It is lost, I want to help you find it… this The golden eagle was raised by your own hands. Isn’t it important to you?”
Tuobayu didn’t answer her words, but walked out of the middle and looked around.
Finally, he still sneered angrily and helplessly.
If someone really wants to follow Tuobayue and his party, they must also be a master of concealment, he can’t detect it.
He automatically wanted the golden eagle to kill Mu Huai, and he was already ready to sacrifice the golden eagle.
As soon as Mu Huai died, Qi’s backbone was gone. His current old emperor was sick and cowardly, and even if Mu Huai died, he did not dare to seek revenge from it.
Tuobayu knew that Mu Huai was still young and had no heirs.
No one of the young men of the Mu clan is better than Mu Huai.
If Daqi loses Muhuai, the whole country will definitely go downhill.
If the golden eagle successfully killed Mu Huai without being caught by the attendant, after it flew back to his place, he would kill it himself.
If he could not successfully assassinate Mu Huai, then the bird of prey would die in Mu Huai’s hands, and he would definitely not send anyone to search for its body.
Tuobayue made his own choice and found the body of the golden eagle. Now that the two of them came together in advance, it was revealed that he wanted to kill Mu Huai.
What a fool.
After Tuobayu entered the private room again, he stared at Tuobayue coldly with those sharp eyes, and said solemnly: “It’s just a plaything. It ran away or died. I don’t care. It’s the third princess. You, don’t make your own claim. Please stay calm these few days and stop running around in the Qi state. After all, the next day will be the day when the Falcon Nation should enter.”
These words were a little bit fierce, but somehow they still honored Princess Tuobayue.
Tuoba Yue was originally an arrogant princess. After listening to Tuobayu’s bad tone, she just replied obediently: “Okay…well, I promised you that.”
The attendant standing behind Tuoba Yue was quite surprised.
The three princesses were domineering and stubborn, and they dared to ride on the neck of the maharaja to act coquettishly. The servants in the palace of the falcon were afraid of her.
But Tuoba Yue listened very much to the words of this elder son.
One thing drops one thing.
******
Haoyue hung high.
Because of the prince’s wedding, the East Palace was also re-arranged. The red silk was wrapped everywhere, and the doors and windows were also decorated with happy characters.
In the East Palace this night, the warm orange glow was as bright as day.
Rong Xi was still wearing heavy Ju Yihua clothes, but he took off the heavy dragon, phoenix, bead and green hair crown, and there was a bitter medicinal smell in the bedroom.
Dan Xiang stood on the side of the bed, watching Rong Xi bow his head and drink the extremely bitter soup medicine.
In the flickering flames, the crown princess’s face was not haggard because of makeup.
But today, the prince has suffered a lot. Even if this cumbersome wedding ceremony makes a healthy young girl go through it, it will be exhausted.
Not to mention, the princess was still pregnant.
On this day alone, the crown princess drank the powerful decoction several times, hanging her mind.
She looked distressed.
——”Danxiang, you send someone out to see, why the prince hasn’t returned to the palace.”
Rong Xi’s words interrupted Dan Xiang’s thoughts.
Dan Xiang explained to him: “Master, after hearing that you and the prince were paid homage by a hundred officials, the emperor heard about the things on the road, so he called the prince to his side and asked for a long time.”
After hearing this, Rong Xi nodded slightly and replied, “I see.”
However, Emperor Zhuang was very concerned about the youngest son of Mu Huai.
Mu Huai is his most beloved son, and also his most capable son. Since Emperor Zhuang’s health problems, he has been inseparable from Mu Huai in all aspects.
However, an elderly man who is dyingly ill can hardly support the operation of a country with a large region like Qi.
There are even rumors in the palace that Emperor Zhuang intends to allow Mu Huai to succeed to the throne in advance, and that he will be an idle emperor to spend his old age in peace.
But the news was quickly suppressed, and Mu Huai also explained to Emperor Zhuang that he would definitely assist him, but he would not succeed in advance to do the unfilial thing.
At this time, an **** came from outside the hall, and he respectfully preached outside: “Prince Princess, your Royal Highness let the little one enter the hall to pass a message, saying that you can rest first and don’t wait for him.”
Rong Xi’s thoughts were interrupted by these words, and his heart was somewhat lost.
When will Mu Huai come back? What happened today made her feel very insecure. He walked around the ghost gate. Although the man was calm after being unharmed, she was almost afraid of death.
She was so afraid that Mu Huai would die.
What should she and the child do if he dies?
Seeing that Rong Xi was a little lost, Dan Xiang whispered in her ear: “Master, since your Highness has said so, he will change the Ju Yi first, and the servant will also help you to remove the fake bun first. You are still pregnant. , Another day of tossing, but not tired.”
Rong Xi nodded.
Today, as Dan Xiang said, she was tired physically and mentally.
After changing into comfortable and soft bedding, Dan Xiang brought the special ointment prescribed by the imperial physician, and Rong Xi applied the ointment to himself before Mu Huai returned to the palace and gently massaged his stomach.
Since she got bigger, she deliberately restrained her food intake and paid attention to maintenance. She didn’t get much fat on her body and she didn’t have any stretch marks on her abdomen.
The maidservants on the side looked at Rong Xi’s white skin like Xinxue, and felt that after she was pregnant, the texture looked more and more delicate, just like condensed tofu.
I can’t blame a arrogant person like the prince for spoiling her so much.
May I ask, which man would not like such a delicate and beautiful woman with a soft voice and slender face?
Seeing that Rong Xi’s expression was still a little lonely, Dan Xiang respectfully persuaded: “Or else, let’s eat some food first.”
Rong Xi shook his head. She ordered Danxiang to prepare the dishes beforehand, but Mu Huai hadn’t returned yet.
She knew that Mu Huai hadn’t used the supper yet, she wanted to wait for her husband to come back and use it together.
-“His Royal Highness Wan’an.”
Rong Xi heard the movement outside the hall, and when he heard that Mu Huai had returned, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Her long black hair was draped and hung softly around her waist.
Rong Xi couldn’t help but got up from the bed, anxious to see the man he was thinking of.
Mu Huai’s dress was stained with the blood of the bird of prey, and when he returned to the palace, he changed into a red dress.
He was wearing scarlet clothes, his brows and eyes were getting more and more dignified, and he was a bit handsome like a man.
Seeing Rong Xi rushing to him in his bedclothes, Mu Huai frowned, and asked in a low voice: “Why are you still pregnant, why did you become so reckless after getting married?”
When Rong Xi saw the man standing in front of him, his eyebrows were still a little proud.
Everything is real, and Mu Huai is scolding her with that low voice.
He finally came back.
Rong Xi’s eye sockets were a little red, and she replied softly: “I know my fault, not next time.”
When Mu Huai saw the woman’s eyes were reddened, there was also water in them.
He was a little at a loss.
Mu Huai felt that his tone was not too heavy, this woman really couldn’t say a word now, she became more squeamish.
But the reason for the squeamishness of this grind was originally he was used to it.
Mu Huai shook his head helplessly, placed his slender hand on the woman’s slender back, and after stroking comfortingly, his tone was lighter: “Go in, lonely princess, on the day of your wedding, you can never be alone. Always stand at the gate of this temple.”
Rong Xi said softly.
The wedding ceremony is very cumbersome. She has already gone with Muhuai in the daytime. Because she is pregnant, she is not even exempted.
After entering the hall, Rong Xi hurriedly ordered Danxiang to prepare the dishes. After the two were seated at the Eight Immortals table, Rong Xi also prepared Mu Huai very carefully.
Mu Huai’s expression was faint, and he seemed to have something on his mind, he used the exquisite food at will.
However, it was discovered that the woman on the opposite side did not use any food, but instead used her white hand to prop up her small face and looked at him eagerly.
Mu Huai felt funny and couldn’t help asking her in a low voice, “What do you think of loneliness?”
I haven’t seen it for a few hours, and the woman’s eyes straightened when she looked at him, as if she didn’t know him.
Reluctantly, Mu Huai picked up a chopstick of dried pork with scented water and placed it in the woman’s food dish.
Then he signaled Rong Xi to eat, and whispered: “Use vegetables, don’t look at loneliness anymore…”
Rong Xi nodded, obediently using the food the man had picked for her.
Neither of them had any appetites, and Mu Huai ordered the palace staff to remove Caishi from time to time.
Mu Huai didn’t like getting blood on his body. Although he changed his clothes after returning to the palace, he still felt uncomfortable and wanted to take a bath tonight.
After he finished bathing and changed his bedding, he saw that the delicate woman sitting beside the bed seemed to be worried, so he sat beside her, held her hand, and asked in a low voice. Said: “What’s wrong? Tonight is always absent-minded.”
Rong Xi came back to her senses, remembering that this afternoon, when she and Mu Huai accepted the courtesy of hundreds of civil and military officials, she was a little nervous.
Mu Huai didn’t say a word, just as it is now, just holding her hand, but it gave her a great sense of security, and she didn’t feel nervous.
Mu Huai was wearing plain white bedclothes, with half-scattered ink hair, and the half-wet hair simply tied with Hetian jade hairpin.
His eyebrows are crisp, his nose is three-dimensional and exquisite, and his appearance is slightly cool and cold.
This dressed-up looked extremely young, and he looked like a young man in his early twenties.
The temperament is less somber and solemn than usual.
But it still made her feel reliable.
Rong Xi finally leaned her head on the man’s shoulder. She whispered and murmured: “The concubine will still have lingering fears when she shows up. I’m afraid that the bird of prey will hurt her husband… and even more afraid that her husband will die… If the husband is gone… , What should the concubine and the child do? The concubine is scared when he thinks about this…”
