The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess - C379

It was night, and the moon was bright and sparse; the weather was extremely clear. On a mountain not far from the city gates, Mu Zhuoshi sat on the mountain peak alone, looking into the distance while pondering. Liang Yue also could not fall asleep. She got up and walked up the mountain, the moment she lifted away the branches in front of him, he saw him silently sitting there from afar.

He pursed his lips, wearing a tattered battle robe. He was sharp and handsome, tanned to a bronze hue, and there were small scars where the wind blew through his hair at the temples.

Liang Yue recalled the first time he met him. He was a prince who lived like a prince who didn’t know anything about the world.

He did not expect that in these two years, he would become a weak and weak Crown Prince, who only knew that he had the love of a girl. He had become a mature, reserved, brave, and wise general, a hero that Liang Yue admired a lot.

Liang Yue held onto the branch with one hand, and just like that, one of the branches at her feet snapped, causing a loud noise.

“Who?” Mu Zhuoshi was startled, he immediately held onto the sword and stood up, looking at Liang Yue.

“It’s me.” Seeing that he had been discovered, Liang Yue calmly walked over.

“You’re up so late?” Mu Zhuoshi relaxed.

“Aren’t you the same? What are you thinking about?” Liang Yue walked over, removed the wine jug from her waist and threw it towards Mu Zhuoshi.

Mu Zhuoshi reached out and took it skillfully, bit off the stopper, raised his head and took two gulps, then gave it to Liang Yue.

Liang Yue received it and also drank a mouthful, and then sat down next to Mu Zhuoshi.

“We will reach the capital in one day. I feel so mixed up that I’m actually afraid to face it. ” Mu Zhuoshi did not conceal his cowardice at all, because this was in front of Liang Yue.

“That’s right. Although you’ve always been bright and sharp all the way back to the capital, who knows how many plots are waiting for you the moment you get back.” It’s easy to defend against this kind of attack, but hard to defend against an arrow in the dark. ”

In fact, Liang Yue was also always worried for Mu Zhuoshi. Along the way, Mu Lingfeng had sent so many assassins over, they closed in step by step, their moves were fierce and they did not care about the feelings between brothers. Now that Mu Zhuoshi had safely returned to the capital, it was not like he had many traps waiting for him.

“I can only blame myself for being born in the royal family. From the moment I was born, I was destined to fight for my entire life.” There was no place to hide. “Even if you wanted to live a peaceful life, you would still be dragged into this struggle for power.”

Mu Zhuoshi sighed helplessly. He picked up the wine jug and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

“Because you are the crown prince and are the future emperor of the West Cold. You need to have the authority to rule the world, so you are destined to endure more than ordinary people. “You must remember that the hardships you have gone through are all to forge you, train you, and make you stronger.”

Liang Yue said as she held his hand and encouraged him.

Mu Zhuoshi lowered his head, and saw Liang Yue’s cold and tender hands covering her forehead. He raised his head, and looked at Liang Yue, his eyes surging with emotions.

Seeing Mu Zhuoshi’s expression, Liang Yue shyly lowered her head and tried to retract her hand. But in the next second, Mu Zhuoshi quickly grabbed onto it. Liang Yue faked a spank. Seeing that Mu Zhuo was not going to let go, he could only allow him to pull at him.

“You’ve worked hard on this journey.” Mu Zhuoshi said somewhat guiltily. I don’t have my left arm, so I’m relying on you … ”

“Don’t say that.” Liang Yue immediately extended her finger and covered his mouth.

“This is my duty as a general, this is my duty. Even if you are not the crown prince, I am still willing to follow you for the rest of my life. ” Liang Yue lowered his head and said from the bottom of his heart.

When he finished, he felt embarrassed again and quickly turned his head to the side.

Mu Zhuoshi had only ever seen her fighting valiantly and fearlessly, and he had always been an image of strong determination and self-confidence. Now seeing her shy little daughter’s expression, he felt even more tender and affectionate towards her.

He reached out his hand and slowly held Liang Yue’s hand, causing her face to move over as well.

“Thank you, for staying with me all this time. For the rest of my life, with you accompanying me, I won’t be afraid of anything. ” Mu Zhuoshi said in a low voice, his voice was both hoarse and filled with magnetism.

He slowly lowered his head and his throat rolled a few times. He gently lifted Liang Yue’s chin and kissed it.

Liang Yue closed her eyes nervously. He did not dare to tell Mu Zhuoshi that this was his first kiss. As she was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly pressed his lips against hers. Liang Yue’s mind suddenly went blank, she only felt Mu Zhuoshi’s tongue prying open her mouth and slowly sucking on her scent.

Then his hand slowly wrapped around her waist and he put her down.

Liang Yue didn’t know what to do, and could only do her best to follow his movements. The two of them fell into the grass, Mu Zhuoshi untied her clothes and pressed on top of it.

In the distance, the bright moon was still quietly hanging in the sky. Buggy was singing in high spirits. On this night, Mu Zhuoshi spoke with extreme gentleness. Liang Yue never thought that on such a special night, she would present her first time. However, he was her lover, and she was willing to do so.

When dawn broke, Liang Yue woke up to see herself naked in Mu Zhuoshi’s embrace. The two of them only had one piece of clothing covering them.

Liang Yue felt extremely awkward, so she quickly pushed Mu Zhuoshi to wake him up and the two of them got up to put on their clothes.

“Sorry, last night, I …” Mu Zhuoshi said shamefully. He didn’t expect that he would be unable to control himself at this time. He was about to return to the capital and start fighting again. He was worried about his future, and now he was alone again. He felt that this was very unfair to Liang Yue.

“I do.” Liang Yue put on his clothes, stood up and said with certainty.

Hearing Liang Yue’s words and not hating him, Mu Zhuoshi was moved beyond words. He stood up and hugged Liang Yue tightly.

“I will definitely not let you down. Go back, I’ll be like my father asking me to take you in as my concubine.” Mu Zhuoshi promised.

“But, Yuchi Min likes you a lot too.” Liang Yue’s face darkened.

“I’ve always thought of her as my sister, and you’re the only one in my heart. I will find a chance to explain it to her so that she won’t waste her youth on me again. ” Mu Zhuoshi said with difficulty.

Just as he was speaking, Yuchi Min came over from afar. “Big Brother Zhuo Zhi, what are you guys doing here so early?” Yuchi Min said a little jealous.

Seeing the two’s peculiar expressions, she felt that Liang Yue must have said something to Mu Zhuoshi behind her back.

“Nothing, wake up early to take a breath of fresh air.” Mu Zhuoshi said awkwardly as he and Liang Yue looked at each other.

“Let’s go.”

Today, they travelled even faster and finally arrived at the capital on the third day. Although it was a few steps behind the date set by the Emperor. But for them, who had been constantly delayed, this was already too fast.

However, for some reason, there was a rumor circulating around the capital that the crown prince had done a great service and had delayed his return to the capital. It was obvious that he didn’t think much of the emperor and might be plotting something from behind the scenes.

As soon as Mu Zhuoshi and the others entered the capital, they heard these rumors. They looked at each other and vaguely felt that something was wrong. The closer he got to the crown prince’s residence, the more solemn Mu Zhuoshi’s expression became.

This rumor had long since spread to the ears of His Majesty.

“Ling Feng, what do you think about this matter?” In the bright yellow main hall, two small, dark dragon heads were puffing out beads of smoke from a smoke stove. The faint sandalwood fragrance filled his nose, and was faintly discernible, which was captivating.

Mu Zheng was reading the imperial reports in his hands, but didn’t even raise his head as he asked Mu Lingfeng coldly. His expression was dark and uncertain.

Mu Lingfeng sneaked a peek at the emperor who was sitting upright. Seeing a trace of suspicion in his eyes, the corner of his mouth raised to form a curve.

“This, this son does not know how to say, but this son believes in royal brother. Although he did make a great contribution this time. However… and also representing royal father in his personal campaign … This credit should belong to royal father. Also, even though he arrived so late, there were still many geniuses. He must have met with some difficulties along the way, and it was not a deliberate delay … ”

Mu Lingfeng pretended to persuade the emperor, but in reality, he had intentionally lured the emperor towards that direction.

It was fine for the emperor not to listen, but when he heard this, he became even angrier. Recently, his body was not as big as it used to be, and he felt much weaker. As his mental state worsened, his suspicions naturally grew.

Especially after learning about what had happened with Muyun, which gave her a huge blow. A few days ago, her favorite concubine, Zheng Ziyi, had caused such an ugly thing again, causing the anger in Mu Zheng’s heart to grow even stronger.

He felt that he had once cherished everything, so how could everything he believed in change so easily? He trusted them so much, and in the end, they were all lying to him. Mu Zheng’s suspicions were growing bigger and bigger, the anger growing bigger and bigger.

“Cough, cough, cough.” Thinking about it, Mu Zheng couldn’t help but cough.

“Your majesty, calm down. Drink a bowl of bird’s nest and press it down.” Eunuch Qin hurriedly went up to caress the emperor’s back. This made him feel much better.

“Royal father, you must not be angry. You must take care of your own body.” Mu Lingfeng said with concern. Lowering his head, the corners of his mouth curled up. The Emperor’s body was no longer as strong as before, and he, himself, was even closer to the throne.

The emperor had just quelled his anger when a court official came over. He said that the crown prince had sent a message and had returned to the capital today. So I came to ask you about the reception and the award.

After all, the whole country knew that the Crown Prince had done a great service.

Mu Zheng coughed a few more times. After pondering for a long time, he finally said slowly, “Ling Feng, I’ll leave this matter to you. I believe you have a bit more sense of propriety. ” The Emperor knocked on the lid of the soup.

“Yes sir!” Mu Lingfeng was so overjoyed that he forgot, and he immediately accepted the order.

“Haha, Mu Zhuoshi, prepare to meet Chendi.” Mu Lingfeng was so pleased that his heart almost jumped out.

Upon entering the capital, no one welcomed him all the way, which made Mu Zhuoshi very surprised.

Back then, when he was sent to the Northern Frontier, hundreds of civil and military officials came to send him off. Now that he had won the war, why was he in such a sorry state?

“Or maybe it’s because I’m late.” Mu Zhuoshi comforted himself. However, he felt that something was wrong.
