Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 416: The Little Palace Maid Reluctant to End Her Life (23)

Zhaoqingyuan is destined to be turbulent tonight.

Many torches were lit throughout the garden, and there were faint sounds of shouting and fighting, but soon the noise died down and silence returned.

All those who were awakened huddled in their rooms, and no one dared to go out for fear of being affected.

In the room, Qin Moyao, whose shoulder blade was stabbed by a knife, was half-kneeling on the ground. His face was ferocious, and he covered his shoulder that was bleeding with one hand. He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Soon someone came in and dragged him away silently.

He struggled to look at the bed, then looked at Qin Huai.

He knew that he had lost.

The former emperor was completely reduced to a prisoner.

After the door was closed again, Qin Huai let go of the knife handle, and the knife fell to the ground with a "clang".

He slowly raised his eyes and looked at the bed in the inner room, and a crack finally appeared on his dead face.

He didn't know what was about to greet him.

Is it Mu Zhou's hatred, curse, and blame?

Or the fear that he wanted to kill his father.

He took stiff steps, and the closer he got, the lighter his breathing became. When he reached the bed, his neck felt as if it was being strangled.

Mu Zhou was wrapped tightly on the bed, and the mess under the thin blanket could not be seen.

Even most of his face was covered.

She just lay there motionless with her eyes closed, as if she was at someone's mercy.

When his eyes fell on her hands tied above her head, Qin Huai's sanity collapsed in an instant.

The perception that I had lost since I held the knife finally returned at this moment.

He clenched his back teeth so hard that his jaw trembled slightly. After a lot of effort, he finally bent down and untied the laces with trembling hands.

It wasn't a complicated way of tying it, but it took him a long time.

Mu Zhou, who had kept his eyes closed, opened them tremblingly at this moment.

The moment I saw him, a tear rolled down the corner of my eye and slowly disappeared among my hair.

Mu Zhou looked at him with tearful eyes, his pale lips moved, and he murmured softly:

"Your Highness, it's really you. You came to save me..."

The sound was so light that it seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind. It fell into Qin Huai's ears. His chest tightened and his heart ached.

Qin Huai didn't have time to think about the strangeness in her words, he just wanted to comfort her with soft words.

"It's me." His face was clearly extremely gloomy, but he still suppressed the anger in his eyes and spoke softly and soothingly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

But the bulging veins on his forehead still revealed his suppressed anger and viciousness.

After his hands were released and he was free, seeing Qin Huai standing up as if to leave, Mu Zhou put his arms around Qin Huai's neck without thinking:

"do not go."

Her body was also lifted up a little.

Qin Huai was stunned and instinctively put his arms around her waist, pressing her tightly into his arms.

He suffered a lot of injuries along the way, especially in the chest.

But at this moment he was unwilling to let go even a little bit.

He swallowed the blood in his throat, his voice a little muffled:

"I do not go."

Mu Zhou rested his head on his shoulder, relaxed as he listened to his words, and slowly began to cry.

As if she had finally found support and confidence, she told all her grievances.

She spoke intermittently, and Qin Huai's eyes kept changing.

He didn't know that Mu Zhou had been forced by his father.

She simply didn't want to.

That's why she just said she came to save her.

The jealousy disappeared in an instant, and anger lingered in my heart.

Qin Huai suddenly felt that the knife he used to stab the emperor was a little light.

He patted Mu Zhou's back gently, his low and hoarse voice was particularly firm:

"No one will be able to bully you anymore."

He would take her to sit on the highest throne together, he would be the emperor and she would be the queen.

No one in this world will be able to bully her anymore.

Mu Zhou leaned in his arms and cried breathlessly. She was tired of crying and gradually felt sleepy.

I don't know when I fell asleep.

Qin Huai sat motionless beside the bed, his tall figure almost encircling her completely.

Mu Zhou is petite, and after falling asleep, she curled up quietly in Qin Huai's arms, one hand still tightly grasping the fabric of his collar, unwilling to let go.

He lowered his eyes to look at Mu Zhou's tear-stained face, feeling pity for her. He quietly wiped away the tears from her cheeks, with indelible tenderness in his cold eyes.

He carefully laid her flat on the bed. Seeing that her fingers were still unconsciously exerting force, he lowered his voice:

"Be good, Zhou'er. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he kissed her forehead.

Today's matter was too hasty after all. In order to avoid hidden dangers in the future, he still had a lot of things to finish.

Now that he is not alone, he must be absolutely sure.

His soft reassurance quickly soothed the sleeping Mu Zhou, and she relaxed completely, the blanket that had been between them just slipping off, revealing Mu Zhou's messy, half-undressed clothes.

As far as Qin Huai could see, he saw the thin inner garment being unbuttoned, revealing a cherry pink tube top.

A surge of anger instantly rose in his chest.

He clenched his fists and managed to restrain himself from rushing to the dark cell to deliver another blow.

At this moment, Qin Huai only regretted why he did not act earlier, causing Mu Zhou to suffer so much grievance.

In the past, she must have been worried and frightened, but had nowhere to turn for help. After all, the person she was facing was the emperor, the supreme imperial power.

It's normal that she doesn't dare to tell herself the truth.

Qin Huai felt annoyed as he helped her straighten her clothes, then covered her with the blanket before leaving.

At the door, a team of guards and two palace maids were standing in the yard.

"Take care of her."

After giving the instructions with a serious look, he left.

On the other side, in Shu Fei's bedroom, she huddled on the bed, her face tense, her mouth tightly covered, not daring to make a sound.

When she heard the night watch nanny say that a large number of guards had gone to the side room where Mu Zhou lived, a look of confusion flashed across her face.

There is a big commotion outside now, and everyone speculates that it might be a palace coup, which could cost lives.

But if it was a palace coup, why would we go to Mu Zhou?

Could it be that she was bold enough to go out and wander around and was caught?

As she was feeling anxious, day finally broke.

Whatever the outcome, it's time to find out.

Soon, everyone knew what happened last night.

Su Hai, the eunuch beside the emperor, read out the imperial edict. The emperor was suddenly stabbed last night. Fortunately, the prince was by his side and rescued him in time, so he was not killed. However, his injuries were still serious. He had returned to the palace early and ordered everyone to leave Zhaoqing Garden today.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise after hearing the imperial edict.

But now Zhaoqing Garden is surrounded by imperial guards and soldiers. Even if officials have doubts, they dare not say much since their families are all present.

I could only obey orders and return to the capital.

*

At this time, Mu Zhou had already returned to Beijing earlier than the main force.

When she woke up, she found herself in the carriage.

The carriage was luxurious and comfortable, with a bed for people to rest on. She rubbed her cheek against the soft silk pillow, and it took her a long time to realize that something was wrong.

She sat up suddenly and looked at the unfamiliar environment around her warily.
