C7 Fighting

Seeing the newcomer, the empress didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pointed a finger at him in anger and said, "You lecherous monkey, what are you doing here? Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?"

Mu Zhaoyang chuckled and put away his fan before clasping his hands in salute, "Royal sister-in-law, didn't I just come to play with you? If you say so, I'll be very sad."

The Queen stretched out her hand and gestured for the old nanny to retreat. She looked at Mu Zhaoyang with a smile and asked, "When did you return?" How is it? I went out for more than a month, but what was so fun about wasting so much time? "It's just that your royal brother is very fond of you. All of your nephews are able to stand on their own, but only you, your uncle, are here for fun."

At the mention of politics, Mu Zhaoyang quickly waved his hands, "Sister-in-law, please don't say it anymore. I finally managed to push away the task my royal brother gave me. If Royal Sister-in-law heard this, she would have to arrange a whole bunch of things for me. It is so annoying."

Looking at Mu Zhaoyang's distressed expression, the empress pointed at him with a smile.

This Mu Zhaoyang was the late emperor's youngest and most beloved son. Even though he was usually disrespectful and would not touch the imperial court, the late emperor's trusted aides knew that the late emperor had left his power behind. As long as he wanted it, there was nothing he could not obtain.

At the same time, all the civil and military officials knew that Mu Zhaoyang was the younger brother of one of the emperor's parents. The two brothers were ten years behind each other, and with the death of their birth mother, the emperor had raised this younger brother as his son.

Kneeling at the side, Gu Xiaoxiao finally found Mu Zhaoyang's identity from the original owner's memories, while neither of them were paying any attention to her.

Currently, the strongest fights between the princes were Prince Qi and the Crown Prince. In order to gain the Emperor's Sacred Heart and more power, the two of them would spare no effort to rope in all the ministers from all forces. However, Mu Zhaoyang did not dare to make a move because he knew that once he offended this young ancestor, the result would be his eternal loss of ties with the throne.

Enduring the numbing sensation in his legs, Gu Xiaoxiao went through Gu Zhaoyang's information in his mind and placed him on the two positions of 'no one can mess with' and 'no one can take advantage of'. If he could take Mu Zhaoyang in for his own use, then everything would become much easier in the future.

On the other side, the empress and Mu Zhaoyang were still reminiscing about the past. No one paid any attention to Gu Xiaoxiao, who was still kneeling in the middle of the hall. It was as if this person had never existed.

The two of them chatted for another fifteen minutes or so. When it was time for dinner, the empress sent for the emperor and the king to come over for dinner. Only then did Mu Zhaoyang notice that there was one more person in the hall.

"Eh? Your Majesty, who is this person and why is he kneeling here? " Mu Zhaoyang blinked as if he didn't know anything. He looked exceptionally innocent.

"It's nothing, it's just a woman who made a mistake." The empress's gaze fell upon Gu Xiaoxiao, turning icy cold.

"Someone, drag her outside the hall and kneel. Do not leave the palace until dawn."

It was the beginning of the autumn and winter. Gu Xiaoxiao was injured and had not eaten lunch, so there was no need to think about dinner. If she had to kneel outside for the whole night, she would be dead or crippled.

If he really said that, what would happen to his enemies? Gu Xiaoxiao immediately became anxious. She turned around and was about to speak when she saw Mu Zhaoyang's gaze sweeping over her.

It was clearly a frivolous look, but it carried a hint of indifference, as if the life and death of others had nothing to do with him. It was also mixed with a bit of mockery, as if he was watching a clown perform, hoping that the clown would add a bit of fun to his life.

Such a gaze absolutely shouldn't have landed on Gu Xiaoxiao. Gu Xiaoxiao was truly angry now, and the steel lock in her hand was ready to strike at any moment.

Since these people didn't think much of her life, then she might as well just kill them all. She only had half a life left anyway. After killing all these people, she wouldn't be able to gain anything. At most, she could just make those remaining people become ghosts and come back to find them!

Gu Xiaoxiao's gaze instantly turned murderous. Mu Zhaoyang saw it clearly, and he became more interested in it.

Yeah, this woman knows kung fu, but I didn't expect her to dare to make a move in the empress's palace. Tsk tsk, she's really a bold and interesting woman.

Their eyes crossed. They had been fighting for hundreds of rounds in a place no one had noticed, but they were interrupted by a young eunuch who scrambled in through the door.

This eunuch was the one the empress had sent to call Prince Qi over for dinner. "Esteemed empress, something bad has happened. His Highness is sick again!"

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, the empress couldn't care less about her manners anymore and charged out while holding onto the old mama's hand.

His Highness the Qi King had been ill for more than a day or two. However, these matters were kept a secret in the palace, so no one outside was aware of them. Almost everyone rushed out of the Queen's palace, leaving only Gu Xiaoxiao and Mu Zhaoyang behind.

Mu Zhaoyang had already seen what had happened. It was useless to continue pretending. Gu Xiaoxiao stood up and looked Mu Zhaoyang in the eye. Although she was slightly shorter than him, she did not lose out in momentum.

Although Mu Zhaoyang was not in the capital most of the time, he would definitely not believe that any other nobleman or official in the capital would not know him. He was quite courageous to dare to look at him in such a manner after knowing his identity.

Thinking of this, the interest in Mu Zhaoyang's eyes deepened as he giggled and moved closer to Gu Xiaoxiao.

"Actually, I happened to be on the street during the day and was tired from shopping. Thus, I found a place to rest on the city wall and happened to see a big commotion."

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed, and quickly regained her composure, "Really? What a coincidence, but there were many people watching the show on the street today. The prince had chosen a good position on the city wall, so he should be able to see it clearly, right? Congratulations, Your Highness. "

After saying so, Gu Xiaoxiao actually bowed, as if something really happened that required her congratulations.

Mu Zhaoyang looked at her in such a manner. After a while, he could not help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha! This King has really never seen a woman like you before. Hahaha, it's just like … Like... It's like I've lost my mind, hahaha. "

Gu Xiaoxiao thought he was going to say something good, but she didn't expect him to lose his mind in the end. She took two deep breaths, and was finally able to control her hand from slapping him.

"Hahahaha, let's go and see how sister-in-law Huang is doing. If we're lucky, maybe you'll be able to survive." Mu Zhaoyang laughed insolently and left while waving his fan. Gu Xiao did a crushing motion behind him, but had no choice but to follow.
