After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

"Chen'er, are you okay? Are you scared?" Murong Ling'er hugged Murong Chen tightly in her arms.

Murong Chen hugged his mother tightly and said coquettishly: "Mom, I'm fine! Uncle Chu is protecting me, so I'm not afraid at all."

Murong Ling'er gently patted her son's back and said with satisfaction, "I knew my son was the best! He's so brave and strong."

After saying that, she looked up at Chu Lingfeng, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude, "Thank you so much for this time!"

Chu Lingfeng nodded slightly, his expression solemn. "No need to thank me. This time, the assassins were clearly targeting my Chu family. It was my inconsiderateness that put everyone in such danger. It's obviously me who has implicated you all."

At this moment, the convicts who were walking together under the protection of the officials gathered together not far away, and complaints were heard one after another.

"Who did the Chu family offend? They made us suffer for no reason!"

"That's right. It's really unlucky. It's bad enough as it is, and now this happens."

"If you ask me, the Chu family shouldn't have joined our team. Now, who knows, they might even lose their lives one day."

They talked one after another, and their voices became louder and louder.

At this time, Chifeng walked over and heard these complaints. He shouted angrily, "Shut up! The Chu family was so kind to protect us and didn't abandon us when we were in danger. You are so ungrateful and still here to talk nonsense!"

The prisoners suddenly quieted down, but a few of them were still muttering.

Chifeng glanced around and continued, "We are all in this together. Only by uniting as one can we overcome this hardship. The Chu family has suffered such a disaster, yet you still think of protecting everyone. You have done your utmost. If I hear anyone complain again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Chifeng knew that although they were implicated by the Chu family this time, it was Chu Lingfeng's people who saved them. In this situation, he could only let everyone unite and get along with each other, otherwise who knows what would happen along the way!

Murong Ling'er and others had different expressions when they heard the commotion here.

Murong Ling'er frowned, feeling a little worried that these fugitives might cause trouble.

Chu Lingfeng had a calm expression, as if he was thinking about something.

Chu Lingfeng took a deep breath and said to Qi Feng, "Captain Qi, don't be angry. It's normal for everyone to feel a little panicked. From now on, we'll have to rely on you to take care of maintaining order."

Chifeng nodded, turned around and continued to stare at the fugitives.

Just when the situation was temporarily stabilized, Chu Lingfeng's subordinate Lin Yu hurried over.

"Prince, the boat is here!" Lin Yu said respectfully to Chu Lingfeng.

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the ship in an orderly manner under Chifeng's command.

After getting on the boat, Murong Ling'er discovered that the sword wound on Chu Lingfeng's body was bleeding continuously. She had not paid attention to it before because the situation was urgent, but at this moment her heart tightened.

"Chu Lingfeng, sit down first, I will help you treat your wound." Murong Ling'er said softly.

Chu Lingfeng nodded slightly and sat down as he was told.

Murong Ling'er carefully cut open the clothes near his wound. Murong Chen watched from the side, his little face full of tension and heartache.

"Uncle Chu, you must be in a lot of pain!" Murong Chen looked distressed.

Chu Lingfeng touched Murong Chen's head and said gently, "Be good, Chen'er. Uncle Chu won't feel any pain."

Murong Ling'er carefully cleaned Chu Lingfeng's wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it, her movements gentle and skillful.

Chu Lingfeng looked at her serious expression, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

At this moment, Huo Shuixian came over and saw this scene. She sarcastically said, "Oh! You can't wait to show your courtesy. You are really shameless."

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but just loud enough for the people around her to hear, and the prisoners began to whisper.

"This girl is truly shameless! She already has a child and yet she's still so ostentatious!"

"I guess he wants to find a good way out for himself by taking care of Prince Chu!"

"Humph! Who knows what she's up to?"

Huo Jianjie's face darkened when he heard his daughter's words. He shouted, "Narcissus, don't talk about your sister like that! Your sister is helping Prince Chu treat his wounds. She's in exile and she's desperate to save her life. How can she be so polite? You're talking nonsense here. How can you be so disrespectful? What did your father teach you every day? How could you be so rude!"

Huo Shuixian curled her lips and said unconvincedly, "Dad, I'm not wrong. Her motives were not pure to begin with."

Murong Chen, who had been standing nearby, could no longer hold back after hearing this. He glared at Huo Shuixian angrily and shouted, "You're talking nonsense! My mother is the best person in the world, you are not allowed to slander her! You are vicious yourself, and you think others are as bad as you are."

Huo Shuixian was speechless for a moment after being confronted by a little kid. She said angrily, "What do you know, little brat?"

Murong Chen's face flushed with anger. "I know more than you. My mother is kind and brave. Unlike you, you only know how to curse people and hide at critical moments. You have no shame and still have the nerve to criticize my mother."

When the convicts heard Huo Jianjie's words, they remembered that they were now on the road of exile and their lives were in danger, so how could they care about these rules? They immediately felt ashamed and stopped talking.

"Son, don't argue with a mad dog. After all, it damages our style!" Murong Ling'er touched Murong Chen's head and smiled.

"You, you said..." When Huo Shuixian heard Murong Ling'er call her a mad dog, she was so angry that her eyes widened, her face turned red, and she was ready to curse.

"That's enough! Narcissus, you still don't repent!" Huo Jianjie interrupted her sternly, "If you keep on being so unreasonable, even your father can't protect you! Apologize to your sister now!"

Huo Shuixian bit her lip, full of reluctance, but under her father's majestic gaze, she finally lowered her head with a face full of resentment!

Murong Ling'er didn't even look at her! She ignored all the gossip from beginning to end and just quietly packed up the items used to treat the wound.

Chu Lingfeng looked at Murong Ling'er with an apologetic look and said, "Miss Murong, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

Murong Linger smiled calmly, "It's okay, the innocent will be innocent." After that, she took Murong Chen to the side to rest.

A brief period of calm returned to the ship, but everyone had their own thoughts!

Murong Ling'er took Murong Chen to sit in the corner, and Murong Chen was still angry.

"Chen'er, don't get angry at people who are not worthy. It's not worth it to make yourself angry." Murong Ling'er gently comforted her son.

Murong Chen nodded, "Mother, I'm just mad at her for saying that to you."

"Mother knows that Chen'er is protecting me, but we just need to do our best and don't care about what others think." Murong Ling'er patted Murong Chen's shoulder gently.

Elsewhere, Huo Jianjie pulled Huo Shuixian aside and scolded her in a low voice, "Girl, how could you be so willful and reckless? Your sister and Prince Chu are innocent. If you slander her like this and spread the news, how will your sister live in the future?"

Huo Shuixian grumbled, "Dad, I just can't stand her being in the spotlight."

"You! When can you change your temper? Stop targeting your sister. If it weren't for your sister and Prince Chu this time, we don't know what would have happened. We should be grateful." Huo Jianjie shook his head helplessly.

Chu Lingfeng sat there, his thoughts drifting away. He was wondering who was responsible for this assassination and why it was done while he was in exile.

Moreover, the appearance of Murong Ling'er and her son seemed to add some variables to this difficult journey.

As night fell, everyone on the boat gradually fell asleep.
