C380 A Desperate Dog Jumping over a Wall

Mu Ruqing was still waiting for news in the Imperial Residence. Changxu rode back on his horse.

"But what happened to the Royal Highness?" Seeing Changxu, Mu Ruqing quickly put down the teacup in her hand. Her eyes were anxious.

"Congratulations, Princess!" Changxu smiled happily, "No, congratulations, Your Ladyship."

"???" Mu Ruqing turned around and looked at Lingyue. She did not turn around.

"Deceased emperor has passed the throne to His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness has become the Emperor, and the Princess is Empress." Changxu's respectful manner made him very happy, "The Emperor ordered me to bring Your Ladyship into the Palace to prepare for the coronation tomorrow."

... "" Mu Ruqing's heart was filled with an indescribable complication and she did not feel very happy. She felt a little gratified. After a long time, she replied, "Okay, Lingyue. Bring some people to pack up. It was arranged just now. All of you, follow me. I am afraid that the king of Yi will jump over the wall in a rush. "

"Yes." Lingyue was happy for the two of them and happily left with Changxu.

"Royal Mother, what's wrong?" Yu Jingmo rubbed his eyes and yawned. He looked like he had just woken up. A few servant girl followed behind him and walked out of the room. "Royal Mother's bed is soft and warm. She is sleeping well."

As Yu Jingmo spoke, he opened his hands and ran towards Mu Ruqing, hugging her thighs.

Mu Ruqing touched his little head. "Jingmo, Royal Mother will bring you out to play, okay?"

"Okay, okay." Yu Jingmo let go of Mu Ruqing and happily danced in the hall.

Mu Ruqing looked at the innocent child and there was always a gloomy feeling in her heart that could not be dispersed.

Her husband was the Emperor, the ruler of the world, and she was the Empress. She should be very happy, but why couldn't she be happy?

Yu Jingmo jumped for a while and pulled servant girl out. As he walked, he turned around and said to Mu Ruqing, "Royal Mother, I will go back and get some small things to play on the way."

Mu Ruqing nodded her head and did not forget to remind, "Be careful."

The wet nurse was sent back by Mu Ruqing. The wet nurse also had a child in her home. Her beautiful name was to let the wet nurse go back to take care of her own child and also gave her a lot of compensation.

Although the wet nurse was reluctant, the money still left.

Mu Ruqing was only worried about the wet nurse and found an excuse to send the wet nurse away. Only when servant girl, who was by Yu Jingmo's side, was replaced by her would she feel at ease.

"Wang... Your Ladyship, you have packed up. Can you get up now?" When Lingyue entered, she did not change her tone for a moment.

"Where's Jingmo?" Mu Ruqing stood up and looked at everything in the hall. She felt like she was in a dream and whispered a few words, "In just a short period of time, he became the Empress?"

... "" Lingyue did not say anything.

"Royal Mother!" Yu Jingmo ran in with the little thing and cried as he ran. When he ran in front of Lingyue, he tripped. Lingyue reacted quickly and hugged him in time. She asked with concern, "Little Master did not fall, right?"

" Yes, yes. Thank you, Ms Lingyue. " Yu Jingmo took good care of the things in his hands. He looked at Lingyue with his black eyes and was very grateful. Then he ran to Mu Ruqing's place and took out the thing in his hand like a treasure. He placed it in front of Mu Ruqing. "This was made by me. I saw that the sisters made it well a few days ago. So I made one and gave it to Royal Mother."

Mu Ruqing looked at his innocent smile and felt warm in her heart. There was no reason for her happiness. She took the small jade pendant from his palm and liked it very much. That jade was not worth much money and the tassels were also very long and short.

She immediately put it on and asked Yu Jingmo, "Jingmo, let Royal Mother take a look. It is still pretty."

" En, whatever Royal Mother wears, it will look good. " Yu Jingmo's eyes curved into a crescent moon.

"Let's go." Mu Ruqing held Yu Jingmo's small hand. It was soft and small. She simply held it and did not want to let go.

The carriage left the mansion and the door of King Chu's Mansion was tightly closed.

Mu Ruqing lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the tightly closed door. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"Is Royal Mother sad?" Yu Jingmo tilted his head and looked at Mu Ruqing. In his small world, there was not much worry.

Mu Ruqing turned her head and smiled at Yu Jingmo, "Royal Mother is very happy to have Jingmo."

Yu Jingmo leaned his head against Mu Ruqing's leg, his face full of happiness.

No one knew from what beginning, there were only Mu Ruqing and Yu Longchen in front of him. Yu Jingmo only knew that they were his parents and he had to treat them well.

The weather was cold. There weren't many people in the market, only a few.

There was a long line of guards beside the carriage of King Chu's Mansion, and at the same time, there was the Praetorian Guard.

Halfway through the journey, they were almost close to Gong City. The stall of the small vendors was gone, and no one could see them anymore.

They could only hear heavy footsteps, the sound of hooves stomping, and the rotation of the axle.

When they were about a third of the way, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Mu Ruqing did not even ask what was going on when she heard the sounds of fighting outside.

It turned out that someone had shot the driver with an arrow. Changxu immediately jumped onto the carriage and steadied the horse.

After that, many assassins rushed in from all directions. They were all coming for Mu Ruqing's carriage.

The sounds of fighting could be heard without an end. Mu Ruqing protected Yu Jingmo and covered his ears. From time to time, she could hear the sound of people stepping on the roof of the carriage.

There were many guards outside. What Changxu did not expect was that the people from the Praetorian Guard were on the same journey as those assassins.

When the assassins rushed out, the Praetorian Guard also started to fight back and killed the nearest guard of the Duke's Mansion.

In just a short while, there was only one guard left in the mansion, and he was tightly surrounding the carriage.

The assassin and the Praetorian Guard were unable to attack, and the sword in Lingyue's hand was dyed red.

"Our Mistress invites Princess Chu to be a guest." The assassin saw that it was difficult to attack and shouted from outside.

Lingyue snorted and stood up. "The one in the carriage is Empress, not Princess Chu."

Changxu and Lingyue were now together. They looked fiercely at the Praetorian Guard outside, "Attacking Empress, you are the Praetorian Guard. You know what the consequences of doing this will be. All your family and friends will be implicated!"

The Praetorian Guard's eyes were slightly shaken, but then they became firm again.

"Are you all gone?" Lingyue slowly lifted her sword and her eyes narrowed, "Just you people. Ha, where did your Mistress get her confidence from?"

"It's enough to kill you all!" After the assassin finished speaking, he rushed forward.

Before he even got close to the carriage, he was already taken care of from the back.

This was the secret guard of the prince's mansion. Mu Ruqing had originally arranged for him to be on guard against Yu Longzi. If he became the Emperor, the first thing he would do would be to attack King Chu's Mansion. As long as Mu Ruqing guaranteed his safety, Yu Longchen would have no worries.

Now that it had come in handy, assassinating her in such a blatant manner could only be the masterpiece of a desperate dog, or Yu Longzi.

"Your Mistress indeed does not have much use." Mu Ruqing's clear voice came from the carriage and the last Praetorian Guard fell after hearing it clearly.

"Your Ladyship, do we need to clean up these corpses?" Lingyue's body was stained with a lot of blood and she did not dare to enter the carriage as she was afraid of scaring Yu Jingmo.

"No need, just let them stay here. I want him to see it with his own eyes. It was not easy for him to destroy part of the Praetorian Guard in his hands." Mu Ruqing narrowed her eyes. Some of the Praetorian Guard in the Palace had already been replaced by Yu Longzi's men. Now, it was time to tidy it up properly.
