Li Qingshu's knife was placed on Tao Yao's neck. She couldn't even shake her head. She could only desperately look at Murong Fu with her eyes, "No, please don't."

Murong Fu clenched the knife in his hand. "Li Qingshu, are you pleased by seeing me in pain?"

Li Qingshu laughed heartily. "I'm more than just pleased. I'm almost dying of joy. Seeing you suffer brings me great joy."

Li Qingshu signaled to the soldier behind him, and the soldier kicked Gao Yang, kicking him in front of Murong Fu.

"Hurry up and do it! Don't talk nonsense! You, Murong Fu, are the famous God of War of the Daye Dynasty. How can you be so scared of killing someone? I'll count to one, two, three. If you don't do it, Gao Yan's pretty face will be in trouble."

Li Qingshu lifted Tao Yao's chin with his hand and pressed the sharp knife in his hand against her cheek. A shallow blood mark immediately appeared.

Murong Fu's heart was shocked, "Gao Yan, don't blame me."

After saying that, he raised the knife in his hand and was about to chop at Li Qingshu.

Tao Yao took advantage of Li Qingshu's moment of relaxation, stepped hard on his instep, and pushed him away.

Li Qingshu was caught off guard and was knocked back a few steps. Murong Fu took the opportunity to adjust the position of the big knife and cut off Li Qingshu's head with one stroke. Li Qingshu died on the spot.

Murong Fu hugged Tao Yao and said, "Are you okay? He's dead. Don't be afraid. I'm late, Yan'er. I'm sorry."

Tao Yao gestured for him to take the thing out of her mouth. Murong Fu thought she was going to blame him, but the next second, as he just took off the handkerchief, Tao Yao hugged him tightly. With a "puff", the sound of a sword penetrating into flesh came from behind him.

Murong Fu panicked instantly. He felt the familiar wet and fishy blood behind the person in his arms.

That was the deepest feeling he had after so many years of fighting and killing enemies. Blood usually only symbolized death.

He panicked and didn't know what to do for a moment. Murong Fu, who had killed countless people, didn't expect that his retribution would come so quickly.

Murong Fu was filled with murderous aura, and he kicked the culprit Gao Jian to the ground.

Gao Jian spat out a mouthful of blood. Murong Fu had used a lot of force in that kick. Not only would an ordinary person not be able to withstand it, let alone a person who had been terminally ill for many years.

Gao Jian felt like all the bones in his body were broken, and he laughed weakly.

"I never thought my foolish sister would sacrifice herself to save you, Murong Fu. In the end, you have won the world. But don't be too proud. Even if you take this position, can you rest easy? The woman you love most died to save you. You will have to live with guilt for the rest of your life."

He died before he could finish his words.

Murong Fu covered the hole in Tao Yao's chest with his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with his hand.

"Don't be afraid, you will be fine, Gao Yan. It's me who hurt you. I was arrogant and thought I could control the situation. I deliberately used you as bait. You can blame me or hate me, I only ask you not to leave me."

Tao Yao looked at General Murong, who was so famous and always spoke in a haughty manner, and saw that he would actually bow his head and admit his mistakes for her. It was amazing, but it was a pity that she would never see it again.

She raised her blood-stained hand and placed it on his face. "Murong Fu, don't be sad. The day I sacrificed myself to be your pawn, I was prepared for this day. Don't blame yourself."

"Be a good ruler for the people, live well, and we will meet again."

After Tao Yao finished speaking, her hands dropped weakly and she died.

Murong Fu looked at the cold person in his arms, feeling heartbroken and unable to breathe. A tear fell on her face, and his lips kissed her forehead devoutly.

"I will listen to you and live well, Gao Yan. I forgot to tell you that I like you. I fell in love with you from the first sight."

Murong Fu held Taoyao's body and put her back on the bed in her bedroom. A Bi burst into tears.

Murong Fu showed a strange smile on his face, and he spoke gently to Tao Yao who was lying on the bed.

"I'll be back with you soon. Don't miss me too much. Tonight is our wedding night. Don't worry, I won't forget it."

Before he left, he turned around and gave A-Bi a cold look.

"Help her get dressed up. Our wedding is about to begin, and we need to make her the most beautiful bride."

Murong Fu acted quickly and cleaned up the palace in one day. Gao Yang did not die, but he also went crazy. He moved around the palace all day long, muttering to himself like a madman.

"Yan'er, where are you? Why are you playing hide-and-seek with father again?"

Murong Fu, wearing a black dragon robe, looked at Gao Yang, who was blindfolded and catching butterflies crazily in the garden.

The palace servant behind him lowered his head and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, do you want to..."

Murong Fu looked at the peonies in full bloom in the garden. Yan'er loved peonies the most. This was the season when peonies bloomed, and the air was filled with their fragrance.

"No need, just let him catch butterflies for Yan'er here. Take good care of him. If I see anyone mistreating him, watch out for your heads."

The palace servant behind him immediately nodded and agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Murong Fu took a few steps and suddenly remembered something, and explained it to the palace servant behind him.

"By the way, ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some easy-to-digest snacks. Yan'er has had a poor appetite recently. There are also iced glutinous rice balls. She wants to eat them recently. Ask them to prepare them."

The palace maids behind him all had their hearts full of grievances. The princess of the previous dynasty that His Majesty was talking about had been dead for several months, but His Majesty refused to bury her and lived and ate with the corpse every day, as if he had hysteria.

But apart from this incident, he was normal in other aspects. No one in the palace dared to talk about this matter. Everyone kept their mouths shut for fear of angering His Majesty.

Your Majesty's methods are not comparable to those of the previous emperor. Since he ascended the throne, he has carried out a major reshuffle of the government and the country. Everyone is in panic and lives in fear every day.

If I don't agree with something, my head will roll down like a bean, and I have no control over it.

Murong Fu sat at the dining table with a pair of chopsticks and a bowl beside him, and A Bi was serving him. This was because Murong Fu felt that Tao Yao was not dead and Tao Yao was used to A Bi, so he deliberately kept A Bi in this palace.

Murong Fu had a gentle and doting smile on his face as he talked to himself in the air beside him.

"Yan'er, eat less of these icy dumplings. If you eat too much, your stomach will hurt. I'll be heartbroken then."

After dinner, he lay on the bed as usual, with a crystal coffin beside him. The woman in the coffin was extremely beautiful. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress and a red peony silk flower on her temples. She looked like she was asleep.

Murong Fu's lips fell on the woman's lips on the ice coffin.

"Yan'er, today I saw my father-in-law catching butterflies for you in the Imperial Garden. The peonies in the Imperial Garden are so beautiful. I'll take you to see them tomorrow, okay? Don't you love peonies the most? A few days ago, I had someone make a lot of peony silk flowers for you. My Yan'er looks the most beautiful when she wears them."
