C394 Robbery
Yue Niansheng sat on the palanquin and arrived at the Yan Xi Palace. Now, it was no longer the place where the Empress lived, but his, Yue Niansheng's, Empress.
"Welcome the Emperor." Ho Yun'er bowed at the entrance of the Palace.
"Get up!"
She looked at ___ with a better expression, not with a cold expression. After all, she had her own flesh and blood on her body, while he did not have any affection towards the other concubines. He only wanted to follow this procedure and choose the concubines.
Yue Niansheng's heart was not on these women. His heart was tied to the world, and he wanted Mu Haiyang.
As usual, he entered the main hall to eat.
Ho Yun'er opened her mouth and said, "Emperor, just now Chenqie saw Yan Er in a hurry. Did something happen?"
These few days, Ho Yun'er could already converse with Yue Niansheng as if they were family.
"En. We have found Haiyang. Zhen wants to bring her into the Palace." He said calmly.
He was very happy and said, "Really? When will Ms Mu arrive?" She was genuinely happy.
It had been a long time since she last saw her, and it was all because of her that he was able to sit in the position of Empress. She had heard from Yue Niansheng that she had gone missing, but there had been no news from her for the past six months.
Ho Yun'er was fantasizing about what would happen if Mu Haiyang knew that she was carrying Niansheng's child. She would probably be happy for herself. Only she knew her feelings and her fate with Yue Niansheng.
"Just these few days." He said.
"Can the Emperor let Ms Mu stay at Chenqie's place?"
Hearing this, Yue Niansheng did not agree nor reject. Continuing to eat, Ho Yun'er tactfully shut her mouth.
After eating, Yue Niansheng did not stay at Ho Yun'er's place, nor did he go to the other concubines' resting place. He was like an emperor of abstinence, he would not touch any girl.
Of course, this also meant that there were no worries in the harem. He was more expectant than anyone else in his heart. Yan Er quickly brought Mu Haiyang into the Palace. It had been a long time since he had seen her.
...
Three days later, Lyi Xuanzhi and the other three had already entered the Moon Abyss.
Yici had been frowning and sulking because of this mission. Most importantly, Lingsu actually agreed and even came with her. The three of them got off the carriage and rested in a forest.
"Ci, eat something. You haven't eaten in a long time." Lingsu handed a bun to her.
"No! I'm not used to this kind of food! I only eat what Jiaang Yidao makes." It was obvious that he was sulking.
"If she doesn't eat it, give it to This King to eat!" Lyi Xuanzhi saw her expression of not wanting to stay with him and deliberately said.
"Not for you!" Lingsu refused.
"That's right!" Yici followed Lingsu's words.
"Come, Ci, we will each take half."
"It's not even for you!" Yici grabbed the bun in his hand and said.
Lyi Xuanzhi held back his laughter. This was how this woman was. It was very easy for her to fall into their trap. Now that she was eating buns in large mouthfuls, it had been too long since she had eaten anything.
"Slow down! Slow down! We won't rob you." Lingsu said.
Lyi Xuanzhi coldly handed the water bottle to her and said, "Drink some water."
Yici opened the door with one hand and said, "I won't drink yours. " Even if she swallowed it to death, she wouldn't drink it. In any case, she was still angry in her heart. However, I don't know where this anger comes from, but I keep feeling like I've been deceived.
As they were eating, a man and a group of men surrounded their carriage. Lianfeng saw this and immediately walked in front of them, protecting Lyi Xuanzhi and Yici behind him.
Just when he was wondering when the Yueyuan Country became so chaotic? There was still someone who dared to stop their carriage and rob them?
Before they could react, they saw Yan Er walk in from outside the encirclement. He wore the uniform of a general and held a sword in his right hand.
He bowed and said, "King Lyi, Young Master Yi."
Seeing that it was Yan Er, Lianfeng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "General Yan, you have mobilized so many people. I thought you were a robber."
The corner of Yan Er's mouth moved slightly. It could be considered a polite smile.
Yici still did not know who the person was. She looked up at Lingsu and asked, "Senior brother, who is he?"
"He is Yue Niansheng's confidant, Yan Er."
"Oh, then why is he here?" Yici continued to ask.
Lingsu shook his head, not understanding. Yan Er said, "I am here to bring Imperial Consort back to the Palace."
"Imperial Consort?" "Imperial Consort?" "Imperial Consort?" Other than Lyi Xuanzhi, the three of them looked at Yan Er in confusion.
"En, the Emperor asked me to bring Imperial Consort back to the Palace."
"Senior brother, isn't Yue Niansheng's Imperial Consort already dead?"
"Yes! Dead!"
"Then he said he came to pick up Imperial Consort? " Yici did not know at all.
Yan Er bowed to Yici and said, "Imperial Consort, the Emperor asked me to pick you up."
"Me?" Pointing at himself, he said in an exaggerated manner.
Nodding his head, he replied to her.
"General Yan, are you kidding me? I am just a villager in the mountains. I am not Imperial Consort. Besides, I have never seen Yue Niansheng before." He smiled coyly.
Lyi Xuanzhi did not say anything. He just looked at them coldly. Of course, he knew that this was Yue Niansheng's move. He could even cooperate with Mu Xingchen. There was nothing he didn't dare to do. No, he wouldn't do it.
Of course, Yan Er knew that it would not be so easy to bring her into the Palace, so he made ample preparations. These soldiers were also prepared to bring her into the Palace, and had long made arrangements. This time, she could not refuse even if she wanted to.
Even if the three of them worked together, they wouldn't be able to escape from such an encirclement. Knowing that Yici's martial arts were not high, it was much easier to handle.
"Seeing the Emperor, Imperial Consort understood. The carriage is ready. Invite Imperial Consort to the carriage." She made an inviting gesture.
"Who dares to take her away!!!" Lingsu said angrily and blocked her way.
"Young Master Yi, forgive me for being unreasonable."
"Is this how Yue Niansheng treats Yi Shui Manor?" He said coldly.
"Young Master Yi, I was only ordered to bring Imperial Consort back to the Palace. I have no other intentions, and I don't want to fight with you." He apologized.
"Yan Er, you clearly know that Miss Mu is no longer Imperial Consort. Why did you come and take her away? Yue Niansheng had already exchanged her with my grandfather. What is going on now?" Lianfeng suddenly said angrily.
" What? Exchange?" Yici seemed to have heard some shocking secret, but she was the only one who did not know the reason. They were all well aware of it.
"Lianfeng!" Lyi Xuanzhi finally stopped him.
"I have no other intentions. The Emperor only wishes to see Imperial Consort."
"Let him come to the residence to see her." Lyi Xuanzhi spoke coldly, undoubtedly ending this unnecessary conversation.
When Yan Er heard this, he waved his hand and the encirclement immediately shrunk into a distance. He continued, "I do not wish to fight with everyone, but regarding the matter that the Emperor has instructed, I can only pledge my life to it."
The good words just now were all based on his past feelings. Otherwise, with Yan Er's character, he would have either attacked or been captured.
