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

The red candles of mandarin ducks are burning, the water in the cups is flowing, the moonlight shines on the shadows into a pair, Mu Jinan wears a bright red wedding dress, sits quietly in the red tent, and listens to the noise outside.

With a creak, the door opened and a slender figure gradually approached her. Li Heng looked at his wife in front of him. She was extremely beautiful, charming and pretty, but she had never been to school. He picked up the wine cup and handed it to her:

"My dear, from now on, we are husband and wife. You must speak well of me in front of your father and brother."

Mu Jinan glanced at the wine cup and knew that he was for military power. She did not drink, and her expression was firm and indifferent: "Prince Rui, I am not feeling well and cannot have sex with you."

Li Heng had been in Yuhe for many years and had been bullied. He hated everyone and only wanted to rely on General Mu's power. He had no feelings for her. His eyes were lonely and sinister. He pushed open the door and left. A figure stood in the yard. The woman looked at him affectionately. He smiled strangely. The two went to another room. This person was Mu Yun. She said:

"My lord, if my sister doesn't help you, I will. I want to be your princess."

Li Heng did not refuse the woman who came to his doorstep. He smiled and said, "Okay, when I ascend to the throne, you will be my queen."

The two of them are having a great time...

Since then, Mu Jinan stayed alone in the empty room for five days. The two did not consummate their marriage. She was busy practicing martial arts and studying, while Li Heng was busy with state affairs, forming cliques for personal gain, and framing court officials. He tried to show his goodwill to her many times by giving her jewelry and clothes, but Mu Jinan refused to accept them all.

Perhaps because she was so cold, Li Heng gradually had other thoughts and would appear in front of her intentionally from time to time, but his intention was to take advantage of her rather than show some affection.

Li Yuanyang accidentally discovered that Mu Jinan was the woman who helped him find his mother's relics, and he also remembered the little girl who practiced sword with him before. He learned that Mu Yun and Li Heng were often together, so he often came to the mansion and saw her sitting on the swing alone. He quietly helped her push the swing from behind. Mu Jinan stood up immediately after finding out. If someone saw it, they would definitely criticize her for not observing the rules for women.

Although Li Yuanyang hated the prince and princess of Sheng'an City, he was particularly gentle to her and handed her a few bags of cakes:

"When you were little, you loved eating winter melon candy the most. I bought this for you. I helped you push the swing before, and you even called me Brother Yuan Yang. Why are you so distant now? That day on the long street, I fell in love with you at first sight. I was a step too late."

Mu Jinan clenched the book in her hand and refused, "Prince, there are differences between men and women. I don't remember what happened when we were young. Please don't look for me again. Even if you come earlier, I don't want to marry someone thousands of miles away. The prince is in the study."

Li Yuanyang's eyes were dim. He actually missed such a beautiful woman. He walked towards the study and looked back at her.

With a creak, the door opened and closed. Several people smiled at each other and sat together. He was smiling. This person was Lin Xiuyuan:

"I only killed a dozen women, abducted and sold hundreds of innocent people, killed dozens of people who refused to obey, and sent some official prostitutes to the court officials, but she kept on biting me. She is just a woman, but she was named the King of Rong. Do you want to have the same power as the prince? We should also thank that prince for giving us a helping hand. Once the King of Rui ascends the throne, the world will belong to our nobles."

This man was greedy and brewed tea here. He also poured tea for Lin Xiuyuan and others, and said with a smile: "I have already told Zheng Qiu that in the spring examination next year, Master Xia and Lu Mingxu will both pass the examination." This man was Xiao Hechuan.

"The imperial examination is carried out based on requests and the examination papers are circulated. In this way, we, the aristocratic families, control the court officials. Yuan Qinghe's delusion of changing the imperial examination system and allowing women to take the exam has been eliminated by the people I sent. No one will dare to go against us in the future." He was confident, and this person was Cui Hengling.

Lu Shenghe, who was sitting next to him, also had a positive expression. He was just waiting for Li Heng to ascend the throne and was planning for a bright future. He had an evil look in his eyes:

"The Minister of Revenue Jiang Xiaobai opened his warehouses to release grain to help refugees, which was against me. After the Crown Prince passed away, no one dared to intervene in my selling of official positions and titles, so I set up a trap and killed Jiang Xiaobai and his son Jiang Yanqing during exile."

"Now I am the Minister of Revenue. Thirty percent of the land tax is given to us, and half is held by us. Your Majesty has become increasingly violent. Yesterday, fifty people were executed. Perhaps it was the elixir that caused it."

Li Heng looked at Li Yuanyang, knowing that this person wanted to entangle Mu Jinan. He felt a little jealous, but had to cooperate: "Son, your father has allowed you to return to the Qingque tribe."

Li Yuanyang was holding the teacup, and looked up in surprise when he heard this. He had been waiting for many years, and Li Heng had easily accomplished this. He said, "Thank you, Your Highness. In the future, I will go through fire and water for you." Then he left and rode back to Quhe on a fast horse.

"Puff!" A bright red splashed on Lin Xiuyuan's face, his lips turned black, and his chest was suffocated. Xiao Hechuan wiped the blood with his fingertips, his face filled with disbelief and pain: "This tea is poisonous."

Blood rolled rapidly on his lips and tongue. Lin Xiuyuan clenched the table with his fingers, frowning. He had been treacherous for half his life and was usually on guard. He never thought he would die here. He looked outside the house with suspicion:

"Pfft...Who poisoned me?"

With a "thump", Cui Hengling stumbled and fell to the ground. He wanted to find a doctor to detoxify him. Blood slid down the corner of his lips, and his face was reflected in the blood on the floor tiles. He was secretly plotted against, and he was furious and full of hatred:

"Who dares to touch the Cui family and the Xiao family? Could it be those poor families?"

Li Heng cautiously put down the teacup. He had been in the grassland for many years and was not used to drinking tea. In order to avoid death, he saw Xiao Hechuan, Lin Xiuyuan, Cui Hengling, and Lu Shenghe all fell down and were no longer breathing. Li Heng panicked for a moment, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, with a sinister smile:

"Who poisoned? So many people died in the mansion, and I cannot escape the blame. Cehe, go to the palace and report to His Majesty that the princess poisoned an official of the court."

Cehe left immediately. When Emperor Ming learned that the four people had died in Prince Rui's mansion, he was furious and ordered the imperial guards to bring Mu Jinan into the palace and make her kneel before Emperor Ming. Emperor Ming looked at her proudly:

"Mu Jinan, you cursed me for ten years, a five-foot cage, and rotten steamed bread and vegetables, yet you didn't go crazy and managed to survive. Less than a month after you were released from prison, you killed court officials. Your crime is unforgivable."

The candlelight reflected the girl's eyebrows, bright and fierce. She looked calm as she went to die. Mu Jinan flashed a strange smile at the corner of his lips:

"Your Majesty, I have never killed any courtier. Why are you so afraid of me?"

Emperor Ming signaled everyone to leave. At this point, he would make sure to explain the matter clearly and let her die with peace of mind. He lifted Mu Jinan's neck and their eyes met. Hatred soared to the sky, and his phoenix eyes were sinister and murderous:

"I dreamed that in the next life, you were a fifth-rank official, fighting endlessly with the nobles, changing the imperial examination system, and wanting men and women to sit at the same table, have the same position, the same laws, and the same rights."

"You accused me of being extravagant and dissolute, neglecting state affairs, employing treacherous people, and forcing me to abdicate. Therefore, I have imprisoned you since you were five years old and forbade you to study or practice martial arts."

"When an animal is desperate, it will bite. The hesitation of a tiger is not as strong as the sting of a bee or scorpion. You are too smart and wise. I must act decisively and get rid of this trouble of yours."

Mu Jinan's eyes suddenly turned horrified. Is this the reason for imprisoning her? She was suffocated by the pain. She was only five years old. How could she fight against the emperor? A strange emotion flashed in her eyes. She wondered if she had a chance to start over again.

Ten years of darkness, depression, grief, and despair turned into a knife cutting into her heart. Her tears gradually rippled and fell from her eyes. She seemed to accept her fate, but she would never give in:

"The treacherous officials framed the loyal and good, sold official positions and titles, imposed heavy taxes, bullied and killed women, and harmed the common people. They cheated in the imperial examinations and prevented the poor from entering the government. Why didn't Your Majesty punish them? Just because of an illusory dream, you imprisoned your servant for ten years?"

"Ah!" The slender neck was gradually suffocated. Mu Jinan lowered her eyes and looked at the emperor's hand that wanted to strangle her to death. There was a flash of disdain in her eyes. A dignified emperor was afraid of a five-year-old child because of a dream. It seemed that she had won.

"Report!" An urgent voice came into the hall, and a guard knelt hurriedly. There was a scar on the back of his hand. He said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince led his army to attack Longying Gate. There are 50,000 troops outside the city without raising flags, and they attacked the city by surprise."

Emperor Ming's proud thoughts suddenly disappeared. Hearing the sound of fighting in the palace, he looked at Mu Jinan. She was a handle, so she couldn't die at this moment. After the rebellion was quelled, she would be eliminated. He said:

"Order Mu Chen and his son to guard the city gates, and Guo Yi to protect the emperor!"

The night was dark, blood splattered on the red walls, swords flashed, and the cold light was biting. The imperial guards and the troops of Crown Prince Li Xu were in a stalemate.

"Kill!" A silver light streaked across the night sky, and horses and soldiers marched through the dark palace gate. Mu Chen and Mu Jingyi were wearing armor and holding Mo Dao in their hands. They were unstoppable and the rebels were wiped out wherever they passed. Crown Prince Li Xu was soon arrested.

"Don't move!" The cold sword blade was placed on his neck. The two looked at each other. The blood on Mu Chen's face had not yet solidified, and the knife marks were clear. A gloomy look was written all over his face. Mu Jingyi showed a bitter smile.

The man in front of him was wearing a deep blue robe. He had finally waited for this day. Li Heng smiled maliciously, "General Mu, His Majesty ordered you to defend the city, how dare you conspire with the Crown Prince to rebel?"

Mu Chen's face was bloodshot, he looked down upon Li Heng's mean appearance, and sneered: "You are the one who plotted the rebellion, you have evil ambitions, are you the King Rui?"

Mu Chen and Mu Jingyi were escorted into the palace. They looked up at Emperor Ming and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards have sent an order to rescue you."

Emperor Ming looked coldly. The border was peaceful at the moment, so he took this opportunity to get rid of the biggest threat. He concealed his calculations and said, "The imperial guards are in the palace, why do I need you to rescue me? Where is the messenger?"

How could Li Heng leave any evidence behind? He had already killed the person who falsely conveyed the imperial edict. He said, "Your Majesty, that person has been killed after suppressing the rebellion."

Emperor Ming looked at the three Mu clan members and gestured to shut their mouths. He had been holding a grudge for a long time and said, "Li Xu is guilty of treason and shall be executed immediately. The Mu clan shall be convicted of the same crime and the whole family shall be executed. Prince Rui has been meritorious in saving the emperor and shall be appointed as the crown prince."

Li Heng had a proud smile on his face. Not long after returning to Sheng'an City, he became the crown prince. He looked at Emperor Ming and said, "Father, I am willing to divorce my wife. The prince of the Heque tribe admires Mu Jin'an. Why not let her marry him to maintain the relationship between the two tribes?"

Emperor Ming glanced at Li Heng and laughed, "Okay! Then name her Princess Huaixi."

Tears slid down from his eyes, dripping along his armor onto the floor tiles. A loud noise struck everyone's heart. Mu Chen looked at his daughter in front of him, suffocating with heartache:

"Your Majesty, I have been a soldier all my life and have made great contributions to Shengguo. Jin'er is innocent and has been imprisoned for ten years and has been tortured inhumanely. I beg Your Majesty to let her go."

Mu Jingyi knelt forward. Mu Jinan had been imprisoned for ten years. Not long after being released from prison, he was about to marry a foreign prince. His brother had never fulfilled his responsibilities. Despair invaded his bones and blood. The young man cried heartbreakingly:

"Your Majesty, spare Jin'an. I am willing to die."

Emperor Ming was indifferent. Mu Jinan looked up at him. The emperor had been scheming and suspicious for years, but finally succeeded. She was no longer as fearful as before, and looked at him with hatred:

"Your Majesty, my father and brother came to the palace to rescue you. How could you kill them without a trial? How could you just believe what Li Heng said? It was clearly a frame-up by him. Can you feel at ease if you shut us up? Let's fight it out in the next life!"

Emperor Ming was relieved of his years of worries and was in a particularly good mood. He wanted to hold a grand banquet in the palace at that moment. He would eliminate anyone who endangered the throne!

Mu Jinan was dragged back to the Mu Mansion.

"Boom!" Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed across the night sky, and heavy rain poured down. Mu Jinan's wrists were locked with iron chains. There was only blood in her eyes. Hundreds of people in the Mu Mansion died tragically in front of her. She moved closer to her father. In the past fifteen years, they had only been together for three days, and it was a farewell of death.

Mu Chen's armor was pierced, dozens of swords were pulled out of his body, blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing on his daughter's face. His lips and tongue were soaked in blood, he whimpered and couldn't speak, looking towards the border.

He was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he protected the people, but this was his fate. Mu Chen only regretted not risking his life to take his daughter away. With tears on his face, he tried to leave a last smile for Mu Jinan:

"The long-handled golden sword wins hundreds of battles, and the bow is bent at the full moon to shoot the hawk. The army is mighty and drives away the barbarians, and thousands of families on the border hang lanterns at night. As a father, I am incompetent and cannot protect you. If there is an afterlife, Jin'er will definitely become a great general..."

Mu Jinan saw all her relatives die in front of her. Her years of grief collapsed instantly. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and burst into tears:

"Father, aunt, brother, sister-in-law, we were separated from each other and reunited after ten years. How could we bear the separation of death? The heaven and earth are cruel, dark clouds cover the moon, blood splashes in the mist, the way of heaven is unfair, I refuse to accept it!"

Li Heng deliberately changed into a dragon robe, showing off his power, resenting her for not being on the same page with him and not bringing him and Mu Chen closer. He stepped on Mu Jinan's cheek:

"There are thousands of people outside the city. The imperial guards falsely spread the military information and the imperial decree. It was Mu Yun who planned this for this king. The prince's assassination was planned by this king."

"Do you know how your mother died? Go ask her in person when she goes to hell." Mu Yun looked smug, looking down at Mu Jinan, and then looking at Li Heng gently, with malicious thoughts written all over her face, "My lord, I have another plan. Hurry up and take Princess Huaixi to Youzhou, and let Chen Xuan harass the Xique tribe and say that it was the princess who ordered it. Then send her to Quhe, and Li Yuanyang will definitely not let her go."

Li Heng smiled cunningly and surprised: "Yun'er is a master of strategy and can win battles thousands of miles away. With your help, one day, you will be the queen."

"Li Heng, I curse you to be defeated in every battle, to be humiliated throughout your life, and to die a miserable death." Mu Jinan looked at Li Heng with hatred. How could such a traitor become the crown prince? "I will kill you with my own hands, just like I killed those traitors, and let you pay for the lives of the people and the innocent souls who died in vain!"

Li Heng looked at her coldly: "If it is really you, you are the one who cannot be killed by all the civil and military officials in the court, but you easily took the lives of four people. If it were not for the fact that I do not like to make tea, I would probably die in your hands. You have some ability, but there is no afterlife. At this moment, you will die first."

The next day, the heads of Mu Chen and his son were hung on the city gates. The bride's party left the city. Dozens of guards held swords and looked around. Mu Jinan, sitting in the carriage, was heartbroken when he saw the heads of his father and brother:

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't gotten married, the Mu family wouldn't have been wiped out, Father!"

"Princess, the people are here, you can't cry!" Qiu Shui covered her mouth in the car. Mu Jinan bit Qiu Shui's finger with hatred, looking angry, "For so many years, you never said a word to me. My father died, and I can't cry?"

The team headed north, and the Sheng'an city gate disappeared from her sight. Mu Jinan didn't know what her fate would be. She leaned against the window. The carriage was moving very fast and was shaking.

"Hey! Who is coming?" The guard looked at the young man opposite. He was wearing a bright red brocade robe, a golden crown to tie his high hair, a mask on, and holding a long sword. The cold spring wind blew behind him, his long black hair fluttered, and a touch of silver light reflected in everyone's eyes. The young man holding the sword shuttled through the crowd like a gust of wind, his sword energy was like a rainbow, and every move was fatal. The guard died from his sword before he could even make a move.
