C17 The Seventh Imperial Concubine

Along the way, Mu Haiyang did not speak, but Niansheng said, "Are you curious about where the soldiers in the camp went overnight?"

Mu Haiyang was not curious and pretended not to hear him. She lifted her hand to the carriage window and looked at the scenery. She did not answer him but asked, "Niansheng, do you have a martial arts manual? If you do, lend me two books to learn so that I can fulfill my martial arts dream..." Mu Haiyang's eyes lit up when she said this. Jiazhi did not know martial arts. Xuanzhi, this young man, would not raise a tiger to cause trouble for her? It just so happened that there was a unlucky Second Prince who had gone to war on the battlefield. His martial arts skills were definitely powerful.

Thinking about what he had been doing these few days, he actually forgot to ask about such an important matter. Am I going to have my dream come true? A person secretly smiled as he thought about it. Niansheng was already used to her behaving like this. He knew that she must be imagining the plot of the television in her head.

"Did Niansheng...? Did you? Lend me a few books?" Mu Haiyang was not in the mood to look at the scenery. She shook the people around her and asked eagerly, making it difficult for Niansheng to reject her even if he did not have any books.

Niansheng also ignored her question. He told her about the etiquette after entering the Palace. In front of outsiders, she had to respectfully address him, His Highness Second Prince, as well as bow. There was no need to do so at home. She had to know how to restrain herself appropriately. After saying a basket of words, Mu Haiyang listened to a few words and also appropriately gave her a general understanding of the situation in the Palace. His father had been seriously ill for a year, and the Empress had given birth to a son who was only four years old and was the Sixth Prince. He wanted to let his son succeed the throne and did a lot of shady business behind his back. He poisoned Niansheng's biological mother and later the Emperor fell ill. Now, most of the officials in the court only had her orders, and this expedition was also instigated by the Empress. Although she said she wanted him to earn military merits, she actually had hidden killing intent. It was only after she forced him all the way to Fringe City that the situation turned for the better. The prince of Yueyuan Country needed to be seven years old before he could ascend the throne, not to mention that the emperor had not passed away yet. The Empress was now clearing the obstacles for her son, and the biggest obstacle was Second Prince, who the emperor doted on. In order to win over the court, he had taken in six concubines, but unfortunately, they all died within a few months. Once married, the court officials would be more inclined towards a mature prince, and not a little kid that was still wet behind the ears. The Empress naturally understood the reasoning behind this, and the other princes' mothers and queens were all suppressed by the Empress and did not dare to disobey. This meant that he only had three years to reclaim everything he lost...

The more Mu Haiyang heard, the more she felt that it was like the malicious Empress in fairy tales. Then wasn't she his seventh Imperial Consort? Wait, the seventh was nothing. Wasn't this just letting me be a scapegoat test subject? I'm going to be a wolf that is even more evil than Lyi Xuanzhi, a wolf in sheep's clothing. No wonder he was so scheming.

Niansheng was very uncomfortable with her gaze, so he said, "I won't let you die."

"This is not up to you to decide!" Mu Haiyang rebutted, feeling wronged. If she really entered a wolf's den, she might as well look at Lyi Xuanzhi's dark face every day.

"I can teach you martial arts. When I am not around, I can also protect myself!" Niansheng had always wanted to teach her martial arts. It was because she had asked just now. She did not care what kind of help a weak girl like her could provide. The top six were all personally nurtured by him and not died in the hands of the Empress. Furthermore, Mu Haiyang could not die. He also wanted to take back everything that belonged to him.

Hearing that she could learn martial arts, Mu Haiyang jumped up in joy. She almost hit the roof of the car. She was excited for a long time before she calmed down. However, her mind was still playing the movie. Writing the screenwriter, the story of the heroine... His mood after winning five million was only so-so, right?

It would take a few days to travel from Fringe City to the Moon Abyss Palace, and it would take them at least ten to fifteen days to get there. Since they had nothing to do, they taught Mu Haiyang inner force mantra beforehand. It was probably because they had read too many martial arts novels that they were not unfamiliar with learning these things very quickly. When they checked into the inn at night, if they were not very tired, they would ask Niansheng to teach her sword techniques. She felt that it was very cool to use a sword, but Niansheng did not use a weapon. It was as if there was a realm where there was no technique better than a technique.

Mu Haiyang liked the "Flying Snow in the Sky" that Niansheng taught her the most. It really shocked her. When she saw Niansheng use it for the first time, she sat in the yard and saw him wearing white clothes fluttering down from the sky. His uncrowned hair fluttered in the wind. It rolled up catkins and floated around him. Every catkin was a hidden weapon in the midst of changing his moves. He urged his inner energy to slowly drop the catkin. It was as if he had snow on the ground. "It turns out that fairy tales really exist!" Mu Haiyang sat on the steps and sighed. She almost drooled.

It was too beautiful. At that moment, she really felt that Niansheng was a goddess descending to the mortal world. Eh, that's not right! Immortals descending to the mortal world was exactly the same as the male lead in her heart. His clothes were as white as snow, his appearance was delicate and handsome, and his long hair was casually scattered all over the place. The way he held his sword... there was no way that he would fail to meet the requirements. Calm and collected Mu Haiyang!

At this moment, Mu Haiyang was thinking in her heart, If he wanted me to die, I would be willing too! No, at this time, I should go up and eat some tofu. How can I face myself and my ancestors if I don't get some meat from such a young man?

She came back to her senses and went into Niansheng's arms. She hugged him and buried him in his chest. She kept muttering, "Too beautiful, too beautiful, Niansheng's Prince Charming Prince Charming..." She felt like a cheerleader...

Niansheng was taller than her by a head. Now, he could only let her hug him as she pleased. A deep smile appeared on his face as he stroked her long hair.

So this move was Mu Haiyang's favorite and the one she could not learn the most. How could there be such a huge difference between a person and a person? Niansheng told her that she could use any item, such as leaves around her. Only chopsticks could be used... She had to know how to make use of the environment. Mu Haiyang could barely move a few leaves, but the leaves fell to the ground as if they had been drugged. She did not know if she could learn this move in her lifetime. When she returned to the modern world, this move was very useful to her younger sister. She was thinking about the plot again.

Every morning after that, Mu Haiyang woke up very early. She kept practicing her swordsmanship. She could be considered talented these days. At least she could beat two strong men. No matter how many there were, it would not work. Niansheng taught her a secret skill. If she could not beat him, then she would run away. As long as there was life, there was no need to fear that there would be no firewood to burn. At that time, Mu Haiyang still despised him in her heart for a long time. Later on, she discovered that this secret skill was specially taught to her. That was why she didn't have the energy to wake up early and practice in the yard like this even when she took the college entrance exam.

When they arrived at the Moon Abyss Imperial Palace, it was actually a month later. They had been delayed on the road for too long. The day before they arrived at Fringe City, the army had driven out of the city and returned to the city, so they naturally brought back a message. Second Prince was going to take on a concubine, and the conscription ceremony was going to be held within a month. Therefore, all of these were already prepared, and they were waiting for their return.

As it was a casual return, he only brought a few trusted aides with him. When the army arrived in the city, they announced that Second Prince was sick and could not be seen in the court. It was because the assassins sent by the Empress did not find them in plain clothes, so the Empress always thought that Second Prince raising a sick concubine at home was to celebrate. In any case, no matter who he took in, it would be hard for him to escape death.

After secretly sending them back to his residence that night, Niansheng naturally understood that as long as he stepped into the Imperial City, the Empress would definitely know. After being cheated for a month, he definitely had to take action. Furthermore, it was a blatant act of not hiding anything. Right now, her authority was in the Imperial Court. She was just waiting for her son to grow up. The throne of the Yueyuan Country could only be inherited by his son, and no one was allowed to disobey it. Although there were a lot of people in the Imperial Court who went against the Empress, they would not go against this. Niansheng naturally understood that this was the only opportunity he had...
