On top of the city gate, dozens of people held swords at the necks of Mu Chen and Mu Jingyi. Mu Jingyi looked at the long line of wedding procession, with guards from Prince Liang's Palace in front and behind, and the carriage stopped.

Mei Luo held a red umbrella and helped Mu Jinan get off the carriage. The hem of her red wedding dress was stuck in the mud. Raindrops fell along the brim of the umbrella. The strong wind blew the umbrella sideways, and the raindrops stained Mu Jinan's face.

The girl looked up and saw three big words "Anshangmen". Since then, this place has been called "Yongningmen". It has been weathered by many hardships and passed down for thousands of years. Raindrops fell on the long moat, rippling the water surface and revealing a chill.

Mu Jingyi was held tightly, his wrists bleeding from the struggle. He could go to the war, but why did he want his sister to marry? He fell into the trap accidentally.

He blamed himself so much, he didn't want his sister to marry, he shouted:

"younger sister"

He was filled with grief, and it turned out to be her weak spot.

Mu Chen felt pain in his heart, and the rain fell on his cheeks, mixed with his tears, and he shouted:

"Jin'er...Jin'er..."

He worked hard for the country all his life, but he couldn't even protect his daughter.

Mu Ruan looked at Mu Jinan, tears streaming down her face, her steps trembling, and she cried:

"Jin'er, my Jin'er, how could things have come to this? We are the ones who dragged her down."

Nangong Xingjun's eyes were red, tears dripping down her cheeks:

"She is our daughter... Marrying her so far away... How can she bear those customs?"

The girl had an extremely beautiful face, but one full of sorrow and sadness. She looked at the thousands of people behind her, not knowing who they were. They were still waiting here in the heavy rain.

Li Xu stood outside the city, looking down from a high vantage point. He promised everyone:

"Princess Yifang, you killed the rebel An Xuan, the treacherous Shen Yuzhong, married the Qingque tribe, stabilized the border, and fought for the country. I will definitely reward the Mu family, the Nangong family, the King of Liang, etc., and ensure that they will live a safe and prosperous life and never be troubled."

Mu Jinan stood at the gate, looking at his mean face. She wanted these people to leave as soon as possible. She didn't believe it and would never believe a word from the emperor again. She shouted:

"All guards, evacuate now. You are not allowed to stay, return to Chang'an, or follow the marriage team. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed."

All five thousand guards of the Prince of Liang's mansion knelt down in a mighty manner, their voices piercing the sky and echoing in the wind and rain:

"Follow the princess till death"

Li Xu's face was filled with rage. Are they planning to rebel?

Instead of kneeling to the emperor, kneel to a woman?

Mu Jinan drew her sword and pointed it at Yun Chi. The raindrops soaked her clothes. Her eyes were red as she roared:

"This princess orders you to evacuate immediately. If you dare to stay, you will be killed without mercy."

"Yun Chi, let them go"

Yun Chi pursed his lips, said nothing, and knelt on the ground. His black clothes were stained with mud. There was no sign of retreat on his tough face. He had to obey the prince's orders and protect the princess.

"Princess, I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

"We will escort you all the way"

Cui Xiang on the tower saw that something was wrong and immediately said with caution:

"Your Majesty, you must not let these guards leave. They are all elite soldiers and masters. If they leave, there will be endless troubles."

Mu Jinan looked at the archers on the tower and shouted:

"Your Majesty, you said you would let them go and ask all the archers to withdraw."

It seemed that someone among the people was deliberately guiding them, pointing and saying:

"The princess killed the traitor An Xuan, but the treacherous minister Shen Yuzhong was sent to marry a foreign prince."

"I know the man on the tower. He is the general who quelled the rebellion that day. The court is threatening the princess."

The people were whispering, and the voices were getting louder and louder.

Some even shouted: "Is this how the emperor protects his subjects?"

"Too much bullying"

Mu Jinan looked at the guards kneeling on the ground. They were all Li Huaijin's subordinates. How could they die because of him? He shouted with all his might:

"Go! The princess told you to leave, but since you didn't obey her orders, why did the King of Liang keep you here? Go... Go..."

Someone among the people shouted: "It's just a few thousand guards. Sending the princess to marry can show the prestige of our country."

"Your Majesty, we have millions of soldiers. Why should we be afraid of these few people? Let them escort the princess away."

"Yes... Your Majesty, please allow them to escort the princess."

All the people knelt down, including those in rags, women carrying vegetable baskets, and the tea doctor to whom Hu Yulou sold sesame cakes, because she had given him fifteen cents more that day.

There was Mu Jin'an, the owner of the Fuxinlou Inn when he first came to Chang'an and escaped from Prince Liang's Mansion. His hair had turned a lot whiter. Before that, Shen Yuzhong plundered the property of wealthy families in the city to enrich the national treasury. He was beaten and his family was destroyed.

Madam Su Zhi, Yuan Xuan, her father was framed by Prime Minister Lin for stealing government silver, but in fact Prime Minister Lin embezzled the money. Li Huaijin investigated the case and has now cleared his name. She knows that life is not easy for a woman, and she admires Mu Jinan even more in her heart.

When she was in Hu Yulou, Mu Jinan gave her a lot of gold cakes. She gave all the money to Hu Yulou's mother, which made her mother give up the idea of ​​letting her receive customers.

I came to see her off today. She was dressed in blue, holding an umbrella, carrying a zither on her back. She was feeling melancholy, standing in the distance and looking at Mu Jinan.

Mu Qingyin had been blaming herself for causing Mu Jinan to fall into the water dungeon of Li Heng, the Prince of Rui, and suffer serious injuries. She cried out:

"Sister, sister, don't go"

Mu Qingyao covered her mouth and cursed in a low voice: "You are crazy, His Majesty is on the tower."

Looking at Mu Jinan's stubborn spirit, the hatred in his heart dissipated a little. He always thought that Mu Jinan was the daughter of his father and Princess Rongde, but today, she didn't look like Mu Xiang at all.

Mu Xiang and Princess Rongde are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Mu Jinan only likes to wield swords and guns.

Mu Xiang's back sank slightly and he shook his head, thinking about Princess Rongde playing the piano. He felt sad. He was just greedy and had never really done anything for Rongde.

Just like now, he couldn't do anything and didn't even dare to stand up.

Mu Shiyi knelt on the ground, looking at Mu Jinan from afar and kowtowed to her three times. If it weren't for Mu Jinan, she would have been murdered by Xiao Wan and lived outside. Now she is back in the mansion and is living a very comfortable life.

Li Ma Ma burst into tears: "My dear, Princess, I am sorry for not being able to take good care of your only daughter."

Mu Jinan said that she was old, seriously ill, and exhausted from the long journey, so he would not let her leave Chang'an City.

Jing Li was dressed in mourning clothes. It was said that good people would be rewarded. It was Mu Jinan who helped her escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Why was she forced to marry? She sobbed softly and cried:

"Lady"

"Didn't you say that you wish for justice when a mirror hangs high and the dawn breaks? Where is justice?"

Wu Rong was in tears, dressed neatly, with clear eyes. If Mu Jinan hadn't helped her, how could she have avenged her aunt?

"Madam Mu, why are you so miserable?"

Li Che lowered his head with bitterness in his eyes. Li Xu had framed him and Concubine Shen, but it was Mu Jinan who went to the palace to plead for mercy, and Emperor Ming let him go. It was also her advice that enabled him to withdraw from the fight for the throne as soon as possible, thus saving his life.

He regretted letting Sha Xin bully Mu Jinan at the birthday party. He tightly grasped the gilded bronze dragon in his hand. It was the prize she deserved for winning the archery competition. He quietly gave it to her maid Fan Shu:

"Jin'an, I wish you well"

Yan Yi, Jiang Yanqing, Wang Huaiyang, Lu Yanci, Wang Zhengzhong, Guo Yi and others were all gloomy-faced and helpless.

Jiang Yin frowned and said nothing. His dead son was no match for this woman, but he had to find out the truth. He didn't want to be a knife in someone else's hands. He thought to himself:

"Mu Jinan, if you have the ability, we will meet again"
