A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

Inside Jingkun Palace.

"Your son pays his respects to mother. May you be in good health and have a long life!" Prince Rui bowed, his words full of respect and warmth.

The Imperial Concubine looked at her son, who was so heroic and dignified, with a tall figure and a handsome face. He exuded a natural aura of an emperor. Thinking that she was about to become the most noble woman in the world, the Imperial Concubine was filled with satisfaction and pride.

"Ye'er, get up quickly. Let your mother come with you!" The Imperial Concubine called Prince Rui with a smile on her face, her voice revealing joy that was hard to conceal.

Prince Rui respectfully thanked his mother, then slowly stood up and walked to sit next to the Imperial Concubine.

Upon seeing this, the Imperial Concubine dismissed all the palace maids except her own trusted maid.

"Yer, how are you preparing now?"

"Don't worry, mother. I will live up to your expectations."

The Imperial Concubine nodded with satisfaction and said earnestly: "The more critical the moment, the more we must remain calm and composed. Don't let a momentary impulse ruin the overall situation. Murong Xuanli's incident is a lesson for you. You must learn from it."

Prince Rui replied more respectfully: "My mother taught me that I will keep it in mind and always be vigilant."

"You must keep a close eye on the changes in the situation in the front court," the imperial concubine continued, "and I will look for opportunities in the harem to speak up for your father. With our concerted efforts, the position of crown prince will belong to you."

At this point, the Imperial Concubine unconsciously clenched her handkerchief, and a trace of resentment and unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's just that your father is now bewitched by the beauties sent by Murong Xuanyi all day long, and rarely sets foot in my place anymore."

King Rui's expression suddenly turned gloomy. This Old Five was his strongest opponent at the moment.

Upon seeing this, the Imperial Concubine comforted him, "Although Murong Xuanyi has outstanding personal abilities, he does not have a strong maternal family to back him up." Now it seems that it was a wise move to cut off his maternal family that had enriched the enemy country.

"However," Prince Rui frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, "Old Five is very close to Yuan Ying, and recently he has repeatedly put forward some suggestions that are beneficial to the people's livelihood in the court, and he has won the support of the ministers."

The Imperial Concubine snorted coldly, "So what if Yuan Ying is so powerful? No matter how powerful she is, she is still a woman. As long as we catch her handle, are we afraid that we can't bring her down?"

King Rui nodded slightly to show his agreement.

The Royal Concubine looked at Prince Rui, her eyes full of love and expectation, "Yer, perhaps you don't have to wait too long before you can ascend to the throne. And those who once looked down on us will eventually crawl at our feet."

After hearing this, Prince Rui quickly looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Mother, why are you so sure? Your faith in father..."

The Imperial Concubine raised her lips in a cold smile, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes: "Oh, I don't need to do it myself! The one in Yixiang Palace will clear the obstacles for us.

She is still immersed in the fantasy that her son can escape from the clan house and return to the throne. How ridiculous! If she had not been of some use, how could I let her live to this day. "

"Doctor Hu has become my man now. I only need to give him some guidance and everything will come naturally. You just need to wait patiently. The coronation ceremony will be just around the corner. Hahahaha..."

"Mother, he is my father after all, how could you..." Prince Rui's voice was filled with confusion and struggle.

"You are confused! Born in an imperial family, how can you be so indecisive and womanly! Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters, and those who are not ruthless are not real men. This is the path of an emperor, and you must be decisive and ruthless." The imperial concubine's tone was filled with unquestionable firmness and determination.

Although Prince Rui felt reluctant, he also knew that what the Imperial Concubine said was not without reason. He secretly made up his mind that the throne could only be his, and he would kill anyone who stood in his way, and even gods who stood in his way.

……

Murong Xuanyu hesitated for a long time, but finally he asked Dong Qingqing to come out so that he could ask her in person.

Dong Qingqing saw Murong Xuanyu and said unhappily, "Ninth Prince, what do you want from me?"

Murong Xuanyu joked, "See how your son-in-law is doing?"

Dong Qingqing blushed and said, "It's none of your business!"

Murong Xuanyu choked, thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid you'll get bored at home, so I'd like to ask you out for a horse ride? How about that? That's nice of you, right?"

Dong Qingqing was really frustrated. Ever since Anyang got married, her parents wouldn't let her go out. They started looking for a date for her. They also said that she might not be well-liked by her husband's family, so they wanted to find a live-in son-in-law for her. She was really impressed by her father.

When Murong Xuanyu asked her to go horseback riding, Dong Qingqing readily agreed.

Dong Qingqing looked at Murong Xuanyu and said, "Do you dare to compete with me in the suburbs? You are not allowed to give in to me."

"Okay, my prince, today I will let you see what it means to have both strength and beauty!" Murong Xuanyu raised his chin and said proudly.

When Dong Qingqing heard this, a hint of contempt appeared on the corner of her mouth. She snorted and made a gesture as if she was about to vomit.

The two men came to the horse farm with their guards, each picked a horse and rushed to the suburbs. They rushed out like an arrow from a bow.

Murong Xuanyu showed his superb riding skills and took the lead all the way. Dong Qingqing followed closely, not wanting to be outdone.

The two chased each other along the way. When it was hard to tell who was the winner, there was a sound in the air, and an arrow streaked across the sky, heading straight for Murong Xuanyu. He reacted very quickly, pulling the reins hard, causing the horse to turn sideways, and the arrow narrowly missed him and stabbed deeply into a tree trunk nearby.

"Qingqing, be careful, there is an assassin!" Murong Xuanyu looked solemn and quickly looked around. He saw shadows in the deep forest, as if there was an ambush.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince..."

"There is an assassin, protect His Highness the Ninth Prince..." the guard shouted nervously.

Murong Xuanyu leaped from his horse's back to Dong Qingqing's horse's back and held Dong Qingqing tightly in his arms.

Dong Qingqing looked at the arrow that had sunk into the tree with lingering fear, her face pale. Murong Xuanyu whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." As he spoke, more arrows came, and Murong Xuanyu waved his whip to shoot them down one by one.

The enemy seemed to be prepared. More than twenty men in black rushed out of the woods and surrounded us.

Four guards fought with the blacks, and Murong Xuanyu and Dong Qingqing joined them, but their skills were average. Soon, Murong Xuanyu found that these black-clad men were well-trained and fierce, and were obviously not ordinary assassins. While protecting Dong Qingqing, he looked for an opportunity to break out.

At this moment, a man in black took advantage of the chaos and rushed towards Dong Qingqing. Murong Xuanyu was quick-witted and kicked him away, but he was hit in the back by another man in black with a sword. He staggered a few steps and blood splattered everywhere.

Seeing this, Dong Qingqing hurried forward to support him, her eyes full of worry.

"Xuanyu, how are you?" she asked anxiously.

Murong Xuanyu grimaced in pain but still endured the pain and said, "I'm fine, Qingqing, how are you?"

Before the two of them could catch their breath, the assassins surrounded them again. Seeing this, Murong Xuanyi said, "Qingqing, I'll hold them back, you run quickly."

Dong Qingqing stood shoulder to shoulder with him and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

Murong Xuanyu looked at the black man and asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate me?

"The one who wants to kill you!" The leading man in black sneered, swung the sword in his hand, and stabbed straight at Murong Xuanyu.

Murong Xuanyu dodged sideways and swung his sword to counterattack. However, his injuries made his movements slow, and he was almost injured by the sword of the man in black several times. He was saved by the guards every time.

But the other side had more people and better martial arts. Soon, the four guards were also injured one after another.

At the critical moment, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance. It turned out that General Dong had arrived with his men.

Seeing this, the black-clothed man looked stern and attacked more fiercely, trying to eliminate the target before the reinforcements arrived. However, Murong Xuanyu and Dong Qingqing worked together back to back, and with the desperate resistance of the guards, they managed to hold their ground.

The reinforcements led by General Dong were like an unstoppable torrent, instantly breaking up the encirclement of the men in black. Seeing that the situation was not good, the men in black fled into the depths of the dense forest.

"Qingqing, how are you?" General Dong dismounted from his horse, walked quickly to Dong Qingqing, and checked her injuries with concern.

Dong Qingqing said quickly: "Dad, I'm fine. The Ninth Prince was injured while saving me. Please go and see him."

He turned to look at Murong Xuanyu, his eyes full of gratitude, "Ninth Prince, how are you injured? Thank you for risking your life to save me. Qingqing is a child who always makes me worry."

Murong Xuanyu forced a smile, shook his head and said, "It's okay, as long as Qingqing is okay."

Dong Qingqing blushed when she heard this. General Dong frowned and scolded her, "Didn't I forbid you to go out? If your elder brother hadn't told me that you and the Ninth Prince had come to the horse farm, I would have followed you out of concern. The consequences would have been disastrous."

"If anything happens to you, how will your mother and I live?" General Dong's words were filled with some reproach, but more of it was heartache.

"Dad, I know I was wrong." Dong Qingqing bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

"Okay, let's go back to the palace first." General Dong helped Murong Xuanyu up, "Come here, help His Highness the Ninth Prince to mount his horse."

The group returned to Dong's mansion, and General Dong invited a military doctor to treat Murong Xuanyu.

"Fortunately, the wound is not too deep. It will recover after resting for a period of time." said the military doctor.

"Thank you for your help." Murong Xuanyu said.

"This time, all thanks to His Highness the Ninth Prince, I would like to express my gratitude here." General Dong bowed.

"General Dong, you are too polite. This is what I should do," said Murong Xuanyu.

General Dong's eyes were deep and complex. He looked directly at Murong Xuanyu and said bluntly, "Your Highness, Qingqing is too pure to marry into the royal family. I have found a good match for her and they will be married soon."

Murong Xuanyu didn't expect him to be so direct. He took a deep breath and said, "General Dong, I am sincere to Qingqing."

General Dong frowned, "Your Highness, forgive me for being blunt, you are a member of the royal family, and you cannot make the decision on your own regarding marriage. Moreover, the royal family struggles are complicated, and I don't want Qingqing to be involved. The reason why you were assassinated today must be related to your royal family, and this is just the beginning."

Murong Xuanyu understood General Dong's concerns, but he didn't want to give up. "I will protect Qingqing and won't let her get hurt."

General Dong shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, at the critical moment, you can hardly protect yourself, how can you protect others?"

Murong Xuanyu's eyes were as bright as torches, and he vowed: "General Dong, please allow me to prove with my actions that I can give Qingqing true happiness and peace."

"Your Highness, I have said all I can. Please go back. From now on, I hope Your Highness will not disturb Qingqing again." General Dong's words revealed an unquestionable determination.

After hearing this, Murong Xuanyu's eyes became dim, but he still refused to leave.

"General Dong, I know you are doing this for Qingqing's own good, but I like Qingqing, I really like her very much. Please give me another chance to prove my sincerity." Murong Xuanyu said earnestly.

Seeing this, General Dong was also moved, but he still insisted on his decision.

"Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness, but this matter is not negotiable. Qingqing's marriage is about to be decided, and I hope Your Highness will not get involved." General Dong responded in a firm tone.

Murong Xuanyu had no choice but to leave sadly. When he walked out of the study room, he unexpectedly found Dong Qingqing standing at the door, her cheeks flushed, obviously having heard their conversation. He was delighted and quickly called out, "Qingqing!"

Dong Qingqing was still in shock at the moment. She had never expected that Murong Xuanyu, who was always at loggerheads with her, would be so affectionate towards her. She looked at Murong Xuanyu's eyes full of sincerity and expectation, feeling mixed emotions, not knowing how to respond.
