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

Li Fuguo, who was standing by, was suddenly shocked. How could she know this? He cunningly explained:

"Your Majesty, she must want to reject the marriage, so she deliberately slandered and sowed discord between you and the Queen, and between you and me."

"Your Majesty, don't trust her."

Li Xu recalled that Zhang Yanhe had never had any involvement with Mu Jinan, but last night she insisted that he must send Mu Jinan to get married today. He was confused, but in his heart, Mu Jinan had to be eliminated.

He pinched Mu Jinan's neck and threw her out with force. Mu Jinan staggered and her forehead hit Li Huaijin's coffin. Blood spread and dripped onto his coffin.

The blood slid along the lines of the coffin, across his fingers, and seeped into the peony crown in his hand.

Li Xu pointed at Mu Jinan:

"Put on your wedding dress, the carriage is outside the mansion, and I will personally escort you out of the city."

Several palace maids came to the mourning hall and put on her wedding dress.

White silk and black cloth, Mu Jinan was wearing a red wedding dress, bright and eye-catching, with a golden crown and jadeite, dazzling and charming, with his jade pendant tied around his waist, and his black hair fluttering in the wind.

Mu Jinan looked at Li Huaijin. The way he lay quietly was heartbreaking. His thick eyelashes covered his beautiful eyes, his brows were as sharp as swords, and his handsome face.

She brushed his lips with her fingertips, gently:

"Huai Jin, I will always be your wife"

She would never see him again in this life, nor could she keep vigil over him or see him buried.

Her tears were like pearls from a broken string, and her warm lips lightly touched his forehead:

"Huai Jin, in the next life, I will protect you instead"

Li Xu stood in front of the mourning hall, having lost his patience, and urged:

"Set off"

Mu Jinan didn't trust Li Xu, and she didn't trust the civil officials in the court, as well as Zhang Yanhe and Li Fuguo. She couldn't let the people of the Mu family, Nangong, and King Liang take risks with her, so she shouted:

"Wait a minute"

Li Xu turned his head. He stood in the yard, looking at the white silk and black cloth. A ray of sunlight shone on half of Mu Jinan's face. He couldn't see her eyes clearly. He only felt the dark ice coming at him. Yellow chrysanthemums were blowing around her red wedding dress.

Li Huaijin's ice crystal coffin exuded a chill.

He didn't know why, but a trace of fear rose in his heart. He stepped back and said calmly:

"Anything else?"

Mu Jinan pulled out the sword from Zezhou's hand and put it against her neck, her blood vessels clearly visible:

"I have a few requests. If your majesty agrees, I will leave the city immediately."

Zezhou Yunchi wanted to take the sword and shouted:

"Princess, no."

"Princess, put down your sword!"

Everyone was instantly panicked. If the princess who was married to a foreign country died suddenly, the foreign tribes would think that Sheng State was going back on its word, which would cause conflicts.

Li Xu took a step forward. He wanted to see if she really wanted to die or was just pretending. He said angrily:

"Mu Jinan, if you dare to commit suicide, I will kill all your clans"

Mu Jinan bit her lips lightly, and when the sword was used with force, blood spread.

Li Xu quickly shouted: "Stop, I promise you"

He discussed with the Qingque tribe and decided that the princess to be married off must be Mu Jinan, so he had to compromise.

Mu Jinan loosened her grip on the hilt of the sword. She looked at the guards standing in the courtyard inside the palace, and at the imperial guard, Yan Yi, standing in the distance.

She didn't want to sacrifice any innocent people because of herself. Her voice was trembling, but so strong and powerful:

"I want you to promise to the people of the world at the city gate that you will not kill anyone from the Mu family, the Nangong family, or the Liang Palace."

"I will dismiss all the guards in the Prince of Liang's mansion and have them withdraw from the city and leave quickly. I will wait at the city gate for a full day, and I will marry after they leave safely."

"I want to take Yunchi away"

"It was me who chopped off An Xuan's head and forced me to death. Your Majesty, can you stop the world from talking about this?"

Li Xu gritted his teeth, pointed at Mu Jinan with murderous intent in his eyes:

"How dare you threaten me, bitch?"

"This man is guilty of committing treason. I will kill him."

The blood on Mu Jinan's neck was getting deeper and deeper. She raised her chin, and the sunlight sprinkled on the blade. Her face was half sinister and half bright. She cut into the skin with force and said angrily:

"Yun Chi, I must take you away"

Yun Chi knelt on the ground, his eyes sore:

"Princess, I am a humble servant. Please put down your sword. I am willing to follow you, Your Majesty."

Mu Jinan stared at Li Xu. The blood was no longer dripping. Her steps were a little shaky. She should have eaten more yesterday. She said angrily:

"To shut up"

How could Xiao Hechuan miss this good opportunity? He had always hoped that Mu Jin'an would die to pay for his sister Xiao Wan's life. He slandered:

"Your Majesty, a mere guard dared to use a knife against Your Majesty. You must not let him go."

He Qiushan looked at Li Xu's hesitation and said, "Your Majesty, kill this guard to serve as a warning to others."

Wang Huaiyang in the distance suddenly knelt down:

"Your Majesty, since you are sending the princess to marry, you must have the escort of Sheng Kingdom's guards and maids. If the princess is bullied by the Qingque tribe, it will also damage the reputation of Sheng Kingdom."

"He is a skilled martial artist and can protect the princess even in Qingque. Your Majesty, please spare Yun Chi's life and let the princess take him away."

Jiang Yanqing finally understood why Li Huaijin was so obsessed with Mu Jinan. She was brave and fearless, and had a sense of justice.

He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the princess killed the rebels and she is a meritorious official. Your Majesty, do you want all the people in the world to be disappointed?"

Lu Yanci of Fanyang was always calm and never spoke out. He looked at the new emperor's aggressiveness and felt dissatisfied:

"Your Majesty, I am just a guard. I will consider it as the princess's dowry."

Yan Yi knelt down. He felt that his power was weak. The generals were willing to go to war, the civil officials wanted to send the princess to marry, and His Majesty was also willing. He said:

"Your Majesty, if you delay any further, you may miss the auspicious time. So please grant the princess one wish."

General Guo Yi was very disappointed with Li Xu, but he was powerless and said bluntly:

"Your Majesty, An Xuan has been harassing the Qingque tribe, and their leader has long been dissatisfied. Minister Mu is resourceful, and only if she goes there will there be a chance to suppress the harassment and prevent rebellion. Does Your Majesty want to engage in battle with the Qingque tribe?"

Wang Zhengzhong stood up, glanced at Li Xu, and bowed slightly:

"Your Majesty, the marriage is for the sake of state. This little guard has gone to the Qingque tribe and will never come back. Your Majesty, please spare him."

Li Xu looked at her desperate look and he knew that the Heeque tribe was ready to make a move. If he did not send a princess to marry the princess now, they would rebel in the future. He had just ascended the throne and if he was defeated, he would lose the support of the people.

He had to send Mu Jinan to marry, because only Mu Jinan's wisdom could deal with foreign tribes.

He wanted to solve all this in the safest way possible.

In an instant, the sky was covered by dark clouds and became pitch black.

"Boom" sound.

There was rumbling thunder in the sky and a flash of lightning illuminated the mourning hall.

The ice crystal coffin was freezing cold, the red wedding dress looked sinister and spooky, and Mu Jinan stood in the wind with his hands pressed against his neck, as if he was going to die heroically.

Strong winds blew from all directions, making it impossible for people to open their eyes. The chrysanthemums were uprooted and floated in the air.

Heavy rain poured down, violent storms raged, and everyone looked up at the raging thunder and lightning, feeling a chill down their spines as they stepped back one after another.

The heavy rain soaked everyone's clothes. The guards in the courtyard had solemn expressions and did not move at all.

The imperial guards behind Li Xu and the heavy soldiers outside the mansion held the hilts of their swords tightly, and the rain turned into a long river, flowing under their feet.

There was Mu Jinan's blood mixed in it, very tiny but shocking.

The palace maid held an umbrella for Li Xu. He suddenly felt a little scared. Thinking of Mu Jinan helping him to seize the throne, he compromised and said:

"I promise you, I will leave the city immediately"

There was a "clang" sound.

Mu Jinan's grip on the hilt loosened. Meiluo rushed to her side and quickly wrapped her wound with fine cloth.

The palace guards protected Mu Jinan from the front and back. She dragged her long wedding dress, looked back at Li Huaijin, a tear rolled down the corner of her eye, and she turned around and left sadly.
