In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her
Chapter 37: Rewarded for Saving the Emperor and Served as an Official
"Hurry, urry"
Mu Jinan followed the imperial carriage mark and slowly followed behind Emperor Ming. He saw that Emperor Ming was busy flirting with Concubine Shen, leaving the guards far behind and not allowing anyone to follow him.
Mu Jinan dismounted and followed closer, hiding behind the dense woods.
Hearing the two people fighting, Mu Jinan had no choice but to cover his eyes with his fingers, thinking:
“It’s really offensive”
After a while, the two continued to walk forward hand in hand, and Mu Jinan moved slowly.
She saw a masked man holding a bow and arrow behind a tree on the left.
She immediately nocked the arrow and drew her bow, holding her breath.
His eyes were cold.
When she saw the assassin draw his bow and arrow, her arrow flew out of her hand.
Like fire breaking ice.
The assassin's arrow pierced him and he fell.
Shouted: "There is an assassin"
Emperor Ming turned around in panic and protected Concubine Shen behind him. Concubine Shen hid behind Emperor Ming softly like a frightened little rabbit.
Mu Jinan held the Taoyu sword in his hand and moved in front of Emperor Ming to protect him. Five or six assassins attacked Mu Jinan together.
She pointed her sword, leaped into the air, kicked the assassin on the head, and unsheathed her sword, only to see the assassin's sword pointed straight at her heart.
She leaped back and stepped on the assassin's shoulder in mid-air. She gathered three parts of her strength and pierced his skull with her sword. Her face was covered in blood.
There were two or three assassins with swords in their hands, some of them retreated in fear. When Concubine Shen saw the bloody scene, she lowered her head in fear.
One assassin escaped wounded.
Mu Jinan flashed into the middle of the assassins like an addict, and Tao Yu's sword pierced through their hearts, and the two men were killed and fell to the ground.
She put her sword to the man's neck and said sternly:
"Who sent you?"
The man suddenly bit the poison in his mouth, vomited blood and died.
The eunuchs in the distance came running with their guards, saying in fear: "Your Majesty, I am too late to save you."
Li Heng brought a group of guards with him. He was the one who arranged the assassin today. He wanted to stab Emperor Ming and then rescue him, so as to gain his deeper trust. He also wanted Emperor Ming to grant him marriage to Mu Jinan.
But it was destroyed by Mu Jinan, who got there first.
Emperor Ming calmed down and said, "Nothing, Madam Mu is here."
She stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I am here to see you. I was hunting just now and accidentally stumbled into this place. I saw someone attacking your Majesty from behind, so I killed him. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
Emperor Ming was grateful to her for saving him:
"How can this be a crime? You have done a great job in saving the emperor, and I must reward you."
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Mu Jinan bowed his head and said:
"I dare not ask for anything more. Seeing that the imperial concubine is as beautiful as a goddess and your majesty is brave and powerful, I only wish that your majesty and the imperial concubine will be safe and sound. If your majesty agrees, I would like to serve as an official in the court."
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the internal official Gao, and he asked softly: "A woman serving as an official?"
Emperor Ming was immersed in the gratitude and praise for being rescued. Seeing the imperial concubine lowering her eyes and smiling, he waved his sleeves and said:
"I'll give you a small official position, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue. The former Deputy Director will be promoted to Director, and Jiang Yanqing will be promoted to Assistant Director of the Ministry of Revenue."
Mu Jinan was overjoyed, his wish fulfilled, and said happily:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Emperor Ming said to the eunuch Gao: "Find out where these assassins came from."
After seeing Emperor Ming off, Li Heng stepped forward and stared at Mu Jinan intently. He became more and more curious. Was she really the gentle girl from the Jiangnan water town? How could she have changed so much?
Mu Jinan glared at him. She didn't know who arranged the assassin. She just wanted to be an official.
"Prince Rui, is there something on my face? Have you seen enough?"
Li Heng came closer to her, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "There is blood on your face"
Mu Jinan then realized that she had pushed his hand away and wiped it again and again with her sleeve.
Li Heng saw that she still looked the same as before, charming and attractive:
“Not finished”
Mu Jinan had no patience for him and looked unhappy:
"where?"
Li Heng's eyes curled up slightly and he stretched out his hand.
Mu Jinan subconsciously took a step back. He missed his target and felt a little disappointed for some reason.
He obviously just wanted to torture Mu Jinan and kill him.
Mu Jinan turned around and was about to leave. She didn't want to stay even a moment longer with this man who was full of schemes and intrigues. Now that she had entered the court, it was only a matter of time before she would overthrow Li Heng.
I heard a voice behind me:
Li Heng knew that her identity was a little strange, either reincarnation or time travel, but he would not tell Mu Jinan his identity, wanting to take everything away without making a sound:
"Madam Mu killed people without mercy, and was as bloodthirsty as a wolf. Her attacks were so vicious that they pierced through people's skulls. Did you have nightmares at night? Did you ever fear that the souls of those who died under her sword would haunt you?"
Mu Jinan's heart seemed to have stopped breathing. Blood-red scenes flashed through her mind. Her back sank slightly, as if someone had touched upon her secrets.
As a modern person, she used to be afraid to step on a bug to death, but now her hands are covered in blood.
Then he calmed down and turned around:
“I killed those who deserved to be killed.”
Li Heng approached her and raised his eyebrows:
"In the future, you should be more soft-hearted. Be careful not to commit too many sins of killing, or you will not be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation."
Mu Jinan sneered: "Then wait until you see the King of Hell, you speak as if you have been reincarnated before."
Watching her disappear, Li Heng smiled meaningfully:
"The boring world has gained an interesting person"
The moonlight tonight seems particularly soft and beautiful. The starry sky accompanies the Han Palace Fairy, listening to her telling the story in her heart.
The wind gently blew the bonfire, and the men and women laughed and danced on the grassland.
Mu Jinan tasted the rabbit meat she hunted today. She picked up the wine pot and drank sip after sip. She seemed a little drunk. She thought to herself:
"I'm not afraid, and I don't have nightmares."
She staggered to a quiet place. Her alcohol tolerance had improved a lot. After drinking a bottle of wine, she was able to walk.
She looked around and saw no one. She suppressed her voice and whispered to herself:
"The dynasty is about to decline. She may be sent to marry a foreign prince at any time and wait to have her head chopped off."
"Fortunately, I learned Kung Fu and how to make poison, so I can protect myself."
She looked up at the starry sky, the breeze made her eyes a little sore, she bit her lips lightly, and the little pearl at the corner of her eye slid down quietly.
She has always been strong and never fragile.
The footsteps behind him slowly stopped, and Mu Jinan turned around vigilantly:
"Who?"
She looked up and saw Li Huaijin looking down at her. His cold and clear eyes were a little softer, and the moonlight cast the most beautiful and gentle coat on him.
He leaned over, picked up the wine jug and shook it gently.
Li Huaijin was originally angry that she didn't care about him, but when he saw her so drunk, all his anger disappeared.
I heard that she risked her life to save me today, and I felt so sad.
"When did you drink so much?"
Mu Jinan turned her head away. She didn’t know, maybe it was because she had killed the first person, or maybe it was because she couldn’t sleep at night. In any case, these wines could calm her down.
She said calmly, "I heard that the prince was ill? Is he feeling better now?"
Li Huaijin put down the wine jug in his hand. After hearing these words, a lot of his depression disappeared. He said softly:
"Why don't you come see me?"
Mu Jinan was in a low mood at the moment and didn't pay much attention to him. Seeing that he was so lively before, he was worried that he was deliberately lying, so he was a little cold:
"The prince is ill, and the imperial physician is treating him."
Li Huaijin deliberately moved closer to her and brought up old things, thinking she was jealous:
"I went to the brothel that day to investigate a case."
Mu Jinan only felt that his left arm was slightly warm when it was close to her, and she said:
"I know, Your Majesty, you don't need to explain."
Li Huaijin was somewhat confused, and he was very concerned about Nangong Yu:
"Why is the lady so cold to me all of a sudden? Is it because of Nangong Yu?"
Mu Jinan ignored him.
The breeze blew through her black hair and gently blew on his cheek. He was a little flustered, afraid that she would become more and more distant, so he took the initiative to say:
"I heard that His Majesty has promised you an official position. I will wait for you to attend court every day from now on."
Mu Jinan laughed at his words:
"Your Majesty, are we children? Why do we have to go to school hand in hand?"
Li Huaijin's eyes flickered slightly, and his ears blushed. It was unclear whether he didn't hear the mockery of his childishness, or pretended not to understand:
"If you want to hold hands, I will be happy to do so."
Mu Jinan felt a little dizzy and wanted to go back to rest. Just as she was about to get up, Li Huaijin coughed violently a few times and felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Mu Jinan asked in panic: "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"
