C43 Sisters reunited

Mu Linfeng walked stiffly to Mu Qianxue's side. His gaze was firmly locked onto Mu Qianxue's body without moving away. Grief, gratification, joy, sorrow ? ? flashed past his eyes.

He raised his hand and caressed Mu Qianxue's moist cheek. "I've finally found you. How wonderful!"

Mu Linfeng's words made Mu Qianxue's tears fall even more fiercely as she sobbed, "I'm sorry ? Third Brother, I'm sorry. If I hadn't married Xiao Ruo Ao back then, maybe ?" If I had known earlier that he was vicious, Nan Zhao wouldn't have perished. My royal father, mother, and the citizens of Nan Zhao wouldn't have died.

In the past, royal father always said that she was a treasure bestowed by the heavens to Nan Zhao, but who would have thought that she was the bane of Nan Zhao's destruction? She had pretended to be strong all the way, but she blamed herself in her heart and couldn't forgive herself for her mistakes.

Mu Linfeng said hoarsely, "Xiao Ruo Ao wants to lie to you, but how would he let you find out what he's thinking? In short ?" I believe that this is also the greatest hope for royal father and mother. "

It was only after a long time that she finally managed to stop crying. She enunciated each word, "The hatred of my parents, the hatred of the destruction of our nation, will forever be etched in my heart. I shall repay this arrogance a hundred times in the future; if West Chu doesn't die, my heart won't die!"

"You have been exceptionally intelligent since you were a child and have a world-shocking talent. Third brother believes that you can definitely destroy Xi Chu, take revenge for your parents, and avenge the dead clansmen!"

Mu Linfeng suppressed the churning feeling in his chest and walked up to Dongfang Zhi. He clasped his hands and bowed deeply as he said, "Thank you, Brother Dongfang, for risking your life to save Qianxue. I will not forget your kindness today as long as I, Mu Linfeng, am alive."

Dongfang Yi supported him up and said, "Brother Mu doesn't care about outsiders anymore. You and I are friends of life and death, so this is how it should be." He paused for a moment before he turned his head and said: "Nineteen, send someone to clean up the empty east yard and let Princess live."

Nineteen had a strange expression on his face. "There are many empty rooms in the West District. Why not let the princess stay here and have a walk with Prince Zhuang?" Although there weren't any clear rules, generally speaking, the eastern courtyard of the mansion was for the main wife to live in. Because Dongfang Gu had never taken a wife, the eastern courtyard of King Rui's Estate was always empty, but even so, it shouldn't be for Mo Qianxue to live in.

Dongfang Yi didn't know what she was thinking about. "It's hot in the summer, and the trees in the west courtyard aren't easy to dry. The princess is weak, so she's not suitable to live here. Just do as I say."

"Yes." Nineteen reluctantly agreed.

"I went to the West Chu without telling my imperial brother. Since I'm back now, I should go to the palace and apologize to my imperial brother. I'll take my leave now, and come back later."

Mu Linfeng hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you go to the West Chu without an imperial edict, I'm afraid the Zhou Emperor will blame you. Should I accompany you there? If there's anything that I can take responsibility of, I'll carry it."

Dongfang Yi picked up the sword from the ground and handed it over to him. "I've always been very good to my royal brother. Besides, there won't be any problems this time. At most, I'll just reprimand him a little. Brother Mu don't need to worry."

"But ?"

Dongfang Yi patted him on the shoulder, then interrupted, "That's enough. You haven't seen the princess in so many years. Speak properly. If you have anything to say, just instruct the servants." Before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and left. It was obvious that he didn't plan on giving Mu Linfeng the chance to refuse.

"This east." Mu Linfeng had known him for many years, so how could he not understand his thoughts? His face was cold, his heart was warm, his expression was cold, but he was actually thinking for others. If it wasn't for him, Qianxue wouldn't have been able to leave Xizhi alive.

Just as he was about to reach the entrance, Dongfang Qing noticed footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Nineteen. He frowned and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Nineteen bit his lip and stepped forward. "This servant wishes to accompany Your Highness into the palace. If Your Majesty blames me for it ?"

Dongfang Yi interrupted, "I've already said that nothing will happen, so don't worry about it. Take a step back, if His Majesty really wants to blame us, it won't do you any good if you go."

Nineteen lowered her head and stared at the lilac embroidery on the tip of her satin shoes and muttered, "We shouldn't have saved Mu Qianxue from the very beginning."

"What did you say?" Nineteen said it very softly. Dongfang Nian didn't hear it clearly.

Nineteen shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm just worried about the prince."

"Alright, you can go back now. Remember to clean up the East District. In addition, when the princess comes to the manor for the first time, there will inevitably be many problems. Choose a few clever servants to serve her."

"Got it." After nineteen muffled sounds of agreement, Dongfang Gu walked out of the manor gate, took the reins from the attendant, and rode the horse away.

When Emperor Cheng bestowed upon Dongfang Shou's mansion, he casually chose a house that was the furthest from the palace city and galloped on his horse for nearly an hour. Afterwards, when he ascended the throne and bestowed Dongfang with the title of Prince Wei, he wanted to change the house that was closest to the palace city, but the latter rejected him.

"Greetings, King Rui!"

"Greetings, Your Highness King Rui!"

While the palace guards and the palace maids bowed, Dongfang Shan stepped into the west side of the Cheng De Palace. There were nearly ten princes in the northern week, but he was the only one who could avoid entering.

Dongfang Yan stretched out his arms horizontally, with his right hand at the bottom and his left hand at the top. He bowed towards the yellow figure that was sitting behind the imperial desk and reviewing the imperial reports. "This younger brother pays his respects to Your Majesty. I respectfully greet Your Majesty!" There was no sign of Jiang Yue in the hall. He had probably finished his report and returned home.

The man behind the imperial throne slowly raised his head. His face was very similar to Dongfang Yan's face; it was the same divine and bright face, but his features were much gentler. In the light of the golden crown of nine pearls, his face was like the crown of a jade.

The old eunuch beside him said with joy, "Your Majesty, King Rui is back."

Dong Fang Qian ignored him, put down the red brush in his hand, and looked at Dong Fang Zhi who was still maintaining his bow posture, then said indifferently: "Do you know your crime?"

Dongfang Zhi knew that Jiang Yue must have told him that he went to the West Chu to save a life. He kneeled down and said, "I, your Majesty, am aware of my crimes."

"What's wrong?"

"The younger brother hid the fact that His Majesty left Jinling. This is the first crime; without His Majesty's consent, he barged into West Chu Palace to save people, this is the second; it involves Jiang Yue, and he let the Chu Emperor know that our Northern Zhou Empire was the one who saved Princess Xuanji, causing the two countries to never get along again, this is the third crime."

Dongfang Xi silently listened. After a long time, he stood up and walked over to Dongfang Zhi and personally helped him up, sighing, "I'm not afraid that Emperor Chu would know that our Northern Zhou had rescued Princess Xuanji, nor am I afraid of making an enemy of him. A mere West Chu is nothing in my eyes."
