C454 Out of the Palace

Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen had a big fight and went to the Imperial Palace. Luckily Mu Ruqing gave her a waist tag, so she could directly enter the Palace and save a lot of trouble without having to report.

Mu Ruqing was playing with a few children and when she saw Miao Yingyu coming, she knew that she had something to do and let Lingyue take the child away.

"My eyes are all swollen. Did Yuan Zhen make you angry again?" Mu Ruqing asked with concern. She had already guessed what it was for.

Miao Yingyu shook her head and smiled lightly. She said with relief, "Nothing. I just wanted to see you."

Mu Ruqing wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and her heart was desolate, "I am sorry."

"It has nothing to do with you. This is something that he must do." Miao Yingyu pulled her hand, "You cannot escape. To me, both of you are very important."

Mu Ruqing lowered her head and could not say what she was thinking.

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, can you accompany me out for a walk? I wonder if Empress has time." Miao Yingyu opened her mouth and asked, her gaze was on her. She looked forward to her answer, "We haven't been alone for a long time."

"Okay." Mu Ruqing agreed. In the past few days, Yu Longchen had been watching her very closely. Even if she went to court, he would get people to keep an eye on her movements. If she wanted to leave the Palace, she naturally had to tell him.

"You will stay in the Palace for the next two days, right?" Mu Ruqing asked. Their smiles were always bitter.

"Yes."

Mu Ruqing arranged for Miao Yingyu to stay and told Yu Longchen about this matter that night.

"I don't know what Yuan Zhen did to make her so sad. I will accompany her. You should allow it, right?" Mu Ruqing looked at Yu Longchen probingly.

Yu Longchen did not reject her with a single face as Mu Ruqing had imagined. Instead, he pinched her small face and said, "Go."

Mu Ruqing did not have time to be happy when Yu Longchen said again, "I will go too. I am right next to you. I will not listen to what you guys are saying."

"You are not going to the court? "

"I'm not going!"

Mu Ruqing sighed. He was indeed the Emperor. Even if he was willful, she also knew that this was Yu Longchen's biggest concession. She hugged his waist and nodded obediently, "Okay."

Yu Longchen's heart palpitated. He carried Mu Ruqing to the bed.

Miao Yingyu rested for a day in the Imperial Palace and her mood seemed to have improved a little.

The next day, she woke up early to comb her makeup and asked the palace maid beside her, "These two days, why did I not see the Bureau Chief patrolling?"

"Miss, the Bureau Chief took a leave of absence during this period of time in the residence." The palace maid was sent by Mu Ruqing to serve Miao Yingyu.

" Oh." Miao Yingyu put on the hairpin. Just as she had expected, Changxu must have been injured and was recuperating at home. "Alright, you can leave now."

" Yes. " The palace maid left.

Miao Yingyu took out a small box from her sleeve. Inside was naturally the Gu Insect. Her fingers lightly tapped the wooden box and her gaze was more and more certain. The date that she and Bai Ming had agreed on was today.

After putting away the things, she went to Phoenix Hall.

Seeing that Yu Longchen was still there and did not go to the court, Miao Yingyu was surprised, "Paying respects to the Emperor. What about the Emperor?"

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you. He will go with us and beautifully say that he wants to protect us." Mu Ruqing went up and pulled Miao Yingyu's arm.

Miao Yingyu suddenly knelt down with a frightened look, "Civilians know their crime! Civilians do not know that they will disturb the Emperor."

"Nothing." Yu Longchen opened his mouth and said.

"No! The Emperor going to court is for the country's important matter. If it is delayed because of a civilian, the civilian can only use death to atone for her crime!" Miao Yingyu did not want Mu Ruqing to support her and lowered her head, "Why not wait for the Emperor to go to court in the morning before discussing it."

"Yingyu..." Mu Ruqing's words of persuasion did not even have time to open her mouth when Miao Yingyu stopped her.

"If the Emperor Empress does not allow it, I will leave on my own." Miao Yingyu did not have any intention of getting up.

Yu Longchen vigilantly looked at Miao Yingyu. When Mu Ruqing saw Miao Yingyu like this, she knew her apprehensions and also said, "Why don't you go to the court first?"

"Alright." Yu Longchen then looked away and held Mu Ruqing's hand. "Wait for me here. Get up quickly."

"This Emperor's grace." Miao Yingyu got up but because of a moment of instability, she bumped into Yu Longchen and wanted to kneel down again. Mu Ruqing quickly grabbed her, "Don't. You will make me uncomfortable if you do this."

Only then did Miao Yingyu relax her movements. Yu Longchen changed into his court attire and went to Chao Yang Hall.

"Where are Ru and Ru?" Miao Yingyu looked left and right but did not see anyone.

"They are making a fuss about going to find Mo. Lingyue took them there." When the child was mentioned, Mu Ruqing's face had a satisfied smile.

"Why don't you take me to see the carriage leaving the Palace later?"

"Why? The carriage still doesn't look like that."

"Sigh, you're getting lazier and lazier. It's already so hard to find a reason for you to bring me around the Imperial Palace." Miao Yingyu sighed and looked sad.

"It is my fault. I will bring you there now." Mu Ruqing could not withstand her beautiful appearance and went out with her. Behind them were four palace maids.

Mu Ruqing originally brought Miao Yingyu to walk around the garden but Miao Yingyu could not wait to see the carriage.

The expression on Mu Ruqing's face was subtle as she felt that something was wrong with her but did not point it out and followed her quickly.

The carriage was already prepared and when Miao Yingyu saw it, she immediately got into the carriage. She lifted the curtain and stretched out her hand towards Mu Ruqing, "Qing, come up. I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Mu Ruqing lowered her eyes and her thoughts were unclear. She got into the carriage and sat beside Miao Yingyu, "Yingyu, you should have taken Yuan Zhen away."

Miao Yingyu was stunned and laughed self-deprecatingly. "If you take him away, he will also come back. And I can't just watch you..."

"I am originally a lonely soul. It is just that the heavens have pitied me and gave me a chance. Now, it is time to return it. Yuan Zhen should live well." Mu Ruqing said it with a smile. What she said was so insignificant.

Miao Yingyu shook her head and leaned forward. Suddenly, she hugged her and caressed Mu Ruqing's back. "Qing, you will be fine after sleeping for a while. Sleep for a while."

Under her comforting, Mu Ruqing slowly closed her eyes.

Miao Yingyu had used Gu on her. That Gu worm would let her sleep for a day. After a day, the Gu worm would automatically die in her body and would not affect her body.

Miao Yingyu placed Mu Ruqing on the soft couch and took out her token and ordered the driver, "Empress has orders to leave the Palace immediately."

The palace maid and carriage driver saw the token and did not dare to have any objections.

When the carriage arrived at Profound Martial, there was a eunuch who hurriedly ran away.

Because of the token and the accompanying palace maid of the Empress, the guards naturally did not dare to stop them.

Xuanwu's eunuch directly went to Chao Yang Hall and reported it to Gao Sen.

Gao Sen told Yu Longchen that the Empress's carriage was heading towards the palace gates.

Yu Longchen did not stop for a moment. He stood up and interrupted the official who was talking in the hall.

However, before he could take two steps, he lost consciousness and fell down.

The official and the public officials were in chaos. They surrounded Yu Longchen.

"The Emperor? The Emperor!!"

"Relocate to Imperial Physician? "

"Transfer to Imperial Physician!"

Chao Yang Hall was in a mess and Mu Ruqing's carriage had already left the Imperial Palace.

In an alley in the Imperial Capital, there were five corpses, four palace maids and a carriage driver...
