In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Li Heng knelt down with his head lowered:

"Father, I am a slave of the Yuhe tribe. There are also people from the Qingque tribe who often come here. They said that no one has come to pick me up in more than ten years. Father must have no longer wanted me, so they dared to whip me."

Emperor Ming hurriedly helped him up and hugged him, anger and self-blame mixed together:

"Don't worry, my father will seek justice for you, and no one will dare to bully you again."

Li Heng hugged Emperor Ming tightly and cried softly:

"Father, every night when I fall asleep these years, I dream of you holding me like this. I want to hold on tightly, but I wake up from the dream."

Suddenly, he said with a smile on his face: "From now on, I will also be a child under the protection of my father."

Li Huaijin looked back at Mu Jinan, and seeing her staring at Li Heng with a serious expression, a hint of loss and coldness flashed across his eyes.

Li Heng said softly: "Father, please take a seat."

Emperor Ming walked forward and sat down sadly, and Li Heng bowed and sat back in his seat.

The eunuch shouted: "Open the banquet!"

As the music started, more than a dozen beautiful Hu girls wearing veils and red waist-baring skirts appeared. Their waists were slender and flexible, and their dancing postures were graceful. Mu Jinan looked at the delicious food in front of him with shining eyes.

Seeing that she was staring at the delicacies on the table, Li Huaijin asked the maid who was serving the dishes to leave and whispered:

"You serve the food"

Mu Jinan moved his body, stepped forward gently, and said in his heart:

"This camel hoof soup is made with bone broth and flavored with wild mushrooms. It is the best for beauty and figure. I really want to have a bite."

Seeing her greedy look, Li Huaijin wanted her to eat more, but was also worried that she would get drunk:

"Eat what you want, but don't drink this wine"

Mu Jinan whispered: "Thank you, Your Majesty"

She looked at the table full of delicious food, kept picking up food for herself, and thought to herself:

"This dish is extremely luxurious. First, remove the skin and internal organs of the goose, marinate it with glutinous rice, then put the goose into the whole processed sheep, sew it up and roast it. When the lamb is cooked, remove the lamb and only eat the goose meat."

"There are also sheepskin filaments, clove-flavored fish sashimi, the Eight Immortals Plate, and Mr. Li's favorite golden chicken."

"Cherry cheese, deer tail sauce, ice crystal lotus and gyokuro balls"

“I need to eat more today.”

Li Huaijin unconsciously moved to the side to give her more space.

Princess Huaiyu, who was sitting next to Li Heng, raised her eyes slightly and asked with concern:

"Brother Wang, why don't you eat?"

Li Heng nodded slightly. He knew that Princess Huaiyu was only a member of the royal family, not the biological daughter of Emperor Ming. She was raised in the palace, and he also knew her fate:

"I just returned to Chang'an. Maybe I am not used to the local climate and my appetite is poor."

Princess Huaiyu had just seen that Emperor Ming favored Li Heng, and she also wanted to find a backer for herself. She often showed her favor to Crown Prince Li Xu, Prince of Qi Li Che, and Prince of Liang Li Huaijin. She was originally isolated and helpless:

"Brother Wang, you can try this lamb dish. This is the lamb tenderloin I chose. The meat is tender and has a delicate taste."

As she spoke, she signaled the maid to give her piece of dish to Li Heng. Li Heng smiled and said:

"Thank you, sister."

Mu Jinan saw that Li Heng only took a few bites symbolically, and then looked at his face. Li Heng's appearance was gentle like jade, he stood like a beautiful orchid and his smile was like the bright moon in one's arms.

He looks very humble, no wonder the original owner was deceived by him. He cries like a tearful pear blossom, who wouldn't feel sorry for him?

It’s a pity that he has evil intentions and has wasted this good appearance.

At this time, Li Heng picked up the wine cup. He heard that the prince was very cautious, so he wanted to test him:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince"

Prince Li Xu responded: "I will use tea instead of wine to congratulate Brother Heng on his return to the palace."

Li Heng smiled on the surface, but he felt in his heart that the rumor was true. Li Xu didn't dare to drink a single glass of wine for fear of causing trouble.

Emperor Ming glanced at the Princess of Qi from time to time, while Shen Yuyuan avoided and lowered her head. She had already sensed that her father-in-law had ill intentions. Shen Yuyuan naturally admired her husband Li Che.

At this time, Lin Xiuyuan, the Prime Minister of the Lin family, who was sitting on one side, had always wanted to support Prince of Qi Li Che as the crown prince and was very dissatisfied with Li Xu.

He and Concubine Hui, Li Che's mother, plotted against the three princes. Emperor Ming killed the three princes by mistake in one day. But later, Concubine Hui died. Emperor Ming hesitated and finally made the eldest prince the crown prince:

"I heard that the recently dismissed Lord Zhang often went to the East Palace to chat with Your Highness?"

Crown Prince Li Xu looked up at Emperor Ming, his eyes flickering and his palms sweating.

He was a cautious and timid person. Emperor Ming once killed three of his sons in one day. He saw it with his own eyes and was terrified. He was afraid of doing something wrong and also tried to hide his incompetence:

"He once had a painting, which he kept in the East Palace. Now he has been demoted and has come to take it back. This king has no dealings with him."

Seeing that Emperor Ming looked solemn and dissatisfied, he was very suspicious. The senior eunuch beside him quickly defended him:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind and studious, and is devoted to state affairs. The past is in the past, so why should Prime Minister Lin care about it?"

There was a hint of warmth in Emperor Ming's eyes. Madam Xiangying looked at the Princess of Qi and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, looking lonely and sad.

The father-in-law stared at his daughter-in-law. Everyone at the palace banquet could see it clearly, but his son, Prince of Qi Li Che, could not see it.

The palace banquet ended and the crowd dispersed. Only the moon was like a silver plate and the stars dotted the night sky. The windows were closed. In the Qizhao Pavilion in the Prince Liang's Mansion, Mu Jinan helped the slightly drunk Li Huaijin back to the house to rest.

Li Huaijin sat in front of the window, and Mu Jinan poured him a glass of water.

Soon Mu Jinan felt dizzy, his eyelids were sleepy, and his body gradually became hot.

She turned her head, and under the dim candlelight, she raised her eyes slightly, her peach blossom eyes full of tenderness and affection, and collided with his deep, burning eyes.

Her heart was pounding, her cheeks flushed, and a ripple of emotion spread between the two of them.

Li Huaijin lowered his eyebrows, slightly opened his lips, and his ears were red. He couldn't help but get closer to her. His breath was slightly hot and his body was burning hot.

Mu Jinan felt something was wrong, there seemed to be a fragrance in the air, he kept his sanity and whispered:

"My Lord, calm down."

Li Huaijin hugged her.

His eyes seemed to be filled with fire.

His lips were hot and pressed tightly against hers.

Her heart seemed to slow down for a beat, and she was at a loss, with her eyes wide open.

Her belt fell to the ground and her clothes were a little messy.

Li Huaijin was immersed in it.

The heavy kiss made her feel overwhelmed, and she tried her best to push Li Huaijin away.

When he wasn't paying attention, Mu Jinan pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and stabbed it hard into Li Huaijin's shoulder.

Li Huaijin cried out in pain:

"Mu Jinan, you lunatic"

"Such a cruel move"

Mu Jinan supported his dizzy body and said weakly:

"Your Majesty, there is a love incense in this room. I am hurting you to wake you up. Go and take the incense outside."

Li Huaijin dragged his tired body and took the incense away. Zezhou hurried into the house and covered his mouth and nose:

"My Lord, you are injured"

Li Huaijin quickly stood in front of Mu Jinan. Her clothes were disheveled and she didn't want to be seen by others. He said angrily:

"go out"

Li Huaijin picked up her dropped belt and helped her tie it on. Mu Jinan was a little scared and lowered her eyes.

This was her first kiss, and she gave it to him so inexplicably. She was not ready yet, and said in panic:

“Now we’re even.”

She propped herself up and walked out of the house and came to the wing room, Qi'an Pavilion. Meiluo and Jingli saw that she looked unwell and asked with concern, "Madam, are you drunk?"

Mu Jinan closed his eyes tightly: "Go and pour me some cold water, quickly"

Then he asked, "Did you find anything unusual about that person today?"

Jing Li whispered: "An hour ago, I saw her enter Qi Zhao Pavilion"

In the silence of the night, behind the veil, Mu Jinan was deep in a dream, blurry yet real. Her forehead was covered with sweat and her expression was painful:

-

In the white cage, Helian Yuan's fingertips brushed across her snow-white cheek, and a low voice came:

"Xue'er, you are sick. This is your medical record. You can never get out or escape."

"The doctor said you are confused and can't recognize people."

"Marry me, dear"

Jiang Xueer avoided him, her white dress was stained with blood, her eyes were red:

"I'm not sick, you're repaying kindness with hatred"

Jiang Xueer's mind flashed through the 1795 emails and she rushed towards the cage.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed sick.

Until Lu Qinyu stood in front of her, Jiang Xueer shrank back and murmured:

"you are?"

Gunfire rang out.

---

Mu Jinan clenched his fingers and opened his eyes: "Who is he?"

.....

Li Huaijin was alone in the room. He took off his clothes and looked at his wound. His fingertips brushed across his lips. The residual warmth was still there, and it felt sweet.

He was not interested in women, but this was how he felt when he kissed a woman for the first time.

He sat like this by the bed all night, the pain from his wound suppressing his inner desires.

The next morning, Zezhou came into the house and exclaimed:

"My Lord, why didn't you take the medicine?"

He quickly helped Li Huaijin apply the medicine and ordered:

"Go find the person who drugged you"

At this time, Mu Jinan came over and saw Li Huaijin applying medicine. She didn't know where to look and lowered her head and said:

“I have a plan”

Li Huaijin's mind flashed back to how she looked in his arms last night. He glanced at her cherry lips, which were so beautiful and charming. He pursed his lips and glared at her:

"What other tricks do you want to play?"
