Moon frost snow

Her voice was soft, but it was filled with unwavering determination and burning rage.

He Yue was extremely angry and had never felt so desperate to kill someone.

Dazhuang took Xiaoquan from He Yue's arms carefully and distressedly, "Sister, give Xiaoquan to me!"

Mu Nanfeng, who was standing by, was not moved at all. He just watched there. He thought that a child, especially a child who would kill people, was dead, so he didn't understand why He Yue was so sad.

He Yue gave Xiaoquan to Dazhuang. She slowly stood up and walked towards Hongshan step by step.

Hong Shan didn't dare to point the knife at He Yue, nor did he dare to move. He covered his lower back with one hand, and with the other hand holding the knife, he bent down and said to He Yue who was walking towards him, "He, Miss He, yes, he was the one who tried to kill me first, I, I also..."

Hong Shan looked at He Yue who was so close to him. He felt panicked when he saw the look in He Yue's eyes. He felt that it was even more terrifying than when his prince was angry.

Mu Nanfeng approached He Yue and said, "Yue'er, if you are angry or sad, you can punish him however you want, but that child shouldn't kill people casually!"

Hearing this, He Yue became even more furious and stabbed the dagger in her sleeve straight into Hong Shan's heart.

He Yue stabbed Hong Shan in the heart and turned the dagger, yelling, "He is still a child. You killed so many people. You deserve to die, you deserve to die..."

Mu Nanfeng didn't expect He Yue to kill someone, and Hong Shan was not on guard at all because he was in pain and was standing next to Mu Nanfeng.

Hong Shan could only stare at the dagger in his heart and the almost suffocating pain.

He fell to the ground and twitched without any resistance. At this time, everyone drew their swords and pointed them at He Yue.

He Yue looked at Hong Shan lying in agony on the ground, her hands trembling. Li Guihua, Dazhuang, Xiaozhuang, and He Tian were all stunned by He Yue's appearance just now.

He Yue turned around, Mu Nanfeng raised his hand to ask his men to put down the knives, and was just about to grab He Yue's hand.

He Yue was so angry that her blood circulation was blocked and she felt cold inside. She felt dizzy and fainted.

Mu Nanfeng hurriedly hugged her, "Yue'er, Yue'er?"

The voices of her mother, elder brother, Xiao Zhuang, He Tian and Mu Nanfeng echoed in He Yue's ears.

But she just felt like she was in very deep water, sinking continuously.

Mu Nanfeng held He Yue in his arms and said to his men, "Take them all back to the palace."

After saying that, he carried He Yue on his horse and galloped away. For He Yue's safety, Li Guihua and the others had no choice but to get on the carriage and be led to the city by Mu Nanfeng's men.

As soon as they left, the Dragon Guards sent by Mu Han to protect He Yue arrived at the place where they had just been and were checking the two bodies, one large and one small, on the ground.

At this time, Mu Han hurried over, and several Dragon Guards hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty..."

Mu Han frowned slightly, staring at the person lying motionless on the ground with sharp eyes, thinking to himself: What on earth is going on?

The person in front of him had his eyes closed, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was covered with scars, as if he had experienced an extremely brutal battle.

Mu Han couldn't help but wonder, why was this person here? And who had injured him so badly? A series of questions flooded his mind, making him want to get to the bottom of the matter even more.

At this time, someone replied, "Your Majesty, we lost them. When we arrived, they had already left. The person on the ground is Hong Shan, Prince Shu's most capable guard, and there is also a child whom we don't recognize."

Mu Han stood there and couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Yue'er, I'm a step late again."

His voice was full of regret and self-blame, as if this short sentence had exhausted all his strength.

The wind blew gently, lifting the hair in front of his forehead and revealing his deep and melancholy eyes.

His eyes revealed an unspeakable pain, as if he was recalling some unbearable past.

Everything around him seemed so quiet, only his sighs echoed in the air.

He slowly closed his eyes, and every moment he spent with Yue'er kept emerging in his mind.

Those once beautiful times have now become only memories, making his heart feel heavier.

Mu Han looked at the little boy on the ground and knew that he was from He Yue's village. He had seen him before.

Mu Han looked at the Dragon Guards in front of him with a solemn expression, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Find a quiet and peaceful place to bury them properly. After this is done, return to the palace immediately."

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, but more of it was determination and resoluteness.

"Yes! Your Majesty's orders will be obeyed!" Following this neat and loud response, several strong men quickly took action. They walked steadily towards the lifeless bodies of Hongshan and Xiaoquan.

Everyone's face was solemn and dignified, as if what they were doing at the moment was extremely important and sacred.

One of them bent down and gently but firmly lifted Hongshan's arms; the other walked to the other side and carefully lifted Hongshan's legs.

The two men cooperated tacitly, slowly lifted Hongshan's body from the ground, and then walked step by step towards the pit that had been dug not far away.

At the same time, several other people lifted Xiaoquan's body in the same way.

They took every step extremely carefully, fearing that any mistake would be disrespectful to the deceased.

Finally, they arrived at the pit, gently placed Hongshan into the pit, and then placed Xiaoquan beside him.

Looking at these two once vibrant lives now lying quietly in the pit, everyone couldn't help but feel emotional, but their hands did not stop moving at all.

Someone started picking up a shovel and filling the pit with soil, one shovel at a time. The soil gradually covered the bodies of Hongshan and Xiaoquan until they were completely invisible.

The whole process was silent, with only the slight sounds of shovels digging and filling the soil echoing in the air.

Mu Han also rode his horse back to Yudu quickly. He knew that He Yue must have been taken back to the palace by Mu Nanfeng, but he couldn't go directly to the palace now.

Mu Han hurried back to the palace first, with a hint of fatigue on his handsome face.

As soon as Jiang Lingchuan saw him, he immediately stepped forward, frowning and complaining, "Oh! Mu Han, where have you been for the past two days? You are His Majesty, and there are countless matters in the court waiting for your decision as the ruler of a country! And yet, you've disappeared without a trace. The same thing happened to Prince Shu. Without both of you, the court is in complete chaos! The ministers argue endlessly every day, with all kinds of opinions swirling around, and it's impossible for them to reach a consensus. If you keep going on like this, the affairs of state will be delayed!"
