Chapter 114 King Rui, That's Not the Point

With a sigh, Su Mianyue patted himself on the cheek and pressed down the panic of a genius. She lifted her skirt and walked towards the arrow. Her slender fingers rubbed against the tail feathers. Even Su Mianyue, who did not know the bow and arrow, could tell that the arrow was not an ordinary thing.

"Damn it, I don't show off. I treat my mother like a sick cat. There are endless assassinations." Su Mianyue cursed in a low voice, but his heart was filled with fear.

Whether the other party's purpose was to frame Shangguan Pei or really get rid of her, it was not something she could guard against now. If Shangguan Pei did not react in time, she would have died by now.

Holding the arrow in both hands, Su Mianyue pulled it out with great effort. He saw a mark on the arrow and frowned when he looked carefully, "Rui? Is it..."

Before Su Mianyue could clear his mind, he heard footsteps. Su Mianyue thought it was Biwu, but turned around and saw that it was a palace maid looking around. She subconsciously hid the arrow in her sleeve.

"See you, empress." The maid saluted.

"Which palace are you from? I have never seen you in this palace." Su Mianyue's voice was soft, but his eyes were sharp.

"His highness Prince Rui sent his servant to pass a message to the empress and asked her to step over to xi hua pavilion to discuss some important matters." The maidservant did not answer Su Mianyue's question, so she bowed and left.

"Presumptuous, why didn't I answer your question?" Su Mianyue's voice grew colder. The people behind the scenes had a lot of tricks. After one Shangguan Pei left, they took advantage of him.

But Su Mianyue was not afraid at the moment. She had guessed that it was mostly Gu Linng's scheme, which was to make her queen.

Whether she was innocent or not, Mu Tinng would plant seeds of doubt in her heart, and the world would speculate on the queen's loyalty. However, as long as Su Mianyue was alive, Su Chengye would not pursue the truth behind the scenes, and it was a good plan.

Not sure if the other party was a master or not, Su Mianyue did not dare to act rashly, but could only put on the status of the queen to oppress people.

The palace maid bit her lip, then lowered her head and said, "The empress should move away as soon as possible. Prince Rui can't be away from the table for too long. Does the empress not want to know why Prince Rui is in such a hurry to see you?"

In the last sentence, the palace maid's tone was obviously sour, which showed that she was Prince Rui's admirer.

Su Mianyue sneered. From the moment this maid appeared, she could not even see her face clearly.

Walking down the steps, Su Mianyue reached out his hand to lift the maid's chin, but the maid suddenly retreated, still lowering her head, and said very quickly, "The empress has failed Prince Rui once, won't she refuse to see her once? The maid has something else to do, so leave first."

After a quick recovery, the maid turned around and ran away, not giving Su Mianyue another chance to ask questions.

"Gu Linng, since you want to play, I'll play with you for a while. Don't cry when you lose." A cold smile hung from the corner of his lips. Su Mianyue touched the arrow in his sleeve, rubbed the rui word with his fingertips, and leisurely walked towards xihua pavilion.

Xi hua pavilion was the resting place for the women. Today, except for the imperial concubines, the officials did not bring the women with them. Therefore, the guards of xi hua pavilion were not strict enough and few palace people were on duty. After all, the imperial concubines would not miss any chance to accompany the emperor and would return to their own palace if they had to.

Standing in the courtyard of xi hua pavilion, Su Mianyue scanned the surrounding rooms with a cold gaze, guessing which room Gu Linng had prepared a surprise for her, so he heard a eunuch say in a low voice, "East wing, autumn chrysanthemum residence."

Su Mianyue looked back, only to see the back of the little eunuch jogging. The smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker, and he walked towards the east wing.

Stepping into the autumn chrysanthemum residence, Su Mianyue smelled the pungent fragrance and instantly felt a little nauseous. He quietly opened the window and sat on the chair by the window. He glanced at the tea on the table and sneered, "Your highness Prince Rui is as meticulous as dust. He even knows that this palace wants a cup of hot tea to warm up its body."

The teacup was placed on the small table beside him. It seemed that the person behind the scenes knew that Su Mianyue did not like the strong fragrance and would definitely sit by the window.

Picking up the teacup, Su Mianyue deliberately turned sideways so that the people outside could see her drinking tea.

"You can't drink this tea." Mu Chen's voice came and knocked the teacup to the ground.

"What does Prince Rui mean by this? This tea was prepared by Prince Rui, and this palace was invited by Prince Rui. Should Prince Rui give this palace a reasonable explanation?" Su Mianyue asked coldly.

Mu Chen was shocked, and his eyes flashed with joy. He asked, "Are you taking the risk because I asked you to come?"

"Prince Rui, that's not the point." Su Mianyue whispered, feeling powerless for Mu Chen's lack of cooperation.

Mu Chen looked grim and then sneered, "You put so much effort into marrying him, but now you're in such a situation. Do you really have no regrets?"

When she thought of the first time she met Mu Chen after coming to this world, Mu Chen looked at her sarcastically, but still helped her. Su Mianyue sighed helplessly. She did not have to pay back the love debt left by the former lord.

"When Prince Rui has time to ask me about this nonsense, why don't you worry about your own situation?" Su Mianyue chuckled, flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave.

Since the other party is not a supporting actor, it is better to keep it to a minimum.

Only Su Mianyue took one step, and Mu Chen grabbed her by the arm and held her in his arms. Before Su Mianyue could react, he rolled around and hid in the corner of the wall, blocking the table beside him in front of both of them to prevent accidental arrows.

"Md, won't you change the routine?" Su Mianyue cried out in a broken voice. He wanted her to ruin her reputation, but he had to play such a dangerous game. If he accidentally killed her, would gu ling be happy?

"You're the real one who scolds people." Mu Chen looked at Su Mianyue calmly. Even sitting in the corner, he was not in a mess. He reached out and brushed Su Mianyue's broken hair across his face. Then he sneered, "Will you be happy to marry a man who can't do as he pleases?"

"Big brother, is this the time to talk?" Slapping Mu Chen's hand away, Su Mianyue's eyes widened and she whispered, "You're not afraid of death. I haven't lived long enough. Stop talking nonsense here. If you have the ability, clean up those people outside. I'll chat with you enough."

In a moment of anger, Su Mianyue forgot to call her'my palace' or' Prince Rui'. It was clearly an angry word, but her clear voice said the taste of coquettishness.

Mu Chen's eyes softened, and for a moment there was a twinkle in his eyes. He quickly said in a cold voice, "The queen is thinking too much. I am not interested in chatting with you."

"Best of all." Su Mianyue snorted, feeling that she was really unlucky tonight. Someone would always come out to be gu ling's free actor.

"But those people outside, I cannot destroy them." Mu Chen said, keeping a little distance from Su Mianyue, sitting on the ground, playing with a knife shaped like a willow leaf, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Su Mianyue did not notice Mu Chen's abnormality and asked, "Then we have to wait for death?"

Mu Chen was distracted by the word "We," and immediately sneered," didn't the empress already see through each other's tricks and plan to follow them?"

His eyes swept over Su Mianyue's wet sleeves. It was obvious that Su Mianyue had noticed something wrong with the tea, so he pretended to drink it. However, mu chen was so confused that he didn't notice it.

Mu Chen's eyes were cold at the thought of his foolish actions. Just as Su Mianyue was about to speak, the dart in his hand had been thrust into his left shoulder and he groaned in pain.

"You're crazy!" Su Mianyue exclaimed.

Looking up at Su Mianyue, Mu Chen made a silent gesture and leaned against the wall to close his eyes. Su Mianyue could only stop talking in his stomach.

Curled up on the side, Su Mianyue waited for half a cup of tea, then heard footsteps, and many concubines panicked, more ministers concerned about the queen's mother's whereabouts.

Of course, the first to break through the door were the orderly footsteps of the Imperial Guard and the sound of spears stabbing in the air.

Su Mianyue was so cruel that he pinched his thigh with all his might, and his eyes were misty with tears, and he was curled up there again, which made Mu Chen, who knew she was acting, couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Because someone came in, Su Mianyue could not talk to Mu Chen anymore, so he took out the arrow hidden in his sleeve, waved it in front of Mu Chen, and used his hand to express his meaning, regardless of whether Mu Chen could understand it or not, the arrow was hidden in his sleeve again.

After the Imperial Guard found someone behind the table, someone reported the news to mu ting. Mu Tinng immediately ordered, "Arrest the assassin at all costs!"

Su Mianyue was so shocked that he could not help but wonder if Mu Tinng had anything to do with this conspiracy. Could he have made so many false appearances to confuse himself just to get rid of himself at this moment? Even Su Chengye would be imprisoned for it, but Mu Tinng would have earned a good name.

Su Mianyue had never been able to fathom the emperor's thoughts, but at this moment, there was nothing he could do but take a gamble.

Sensing Mu Chen's gaze, Su Mianyue looked up and saw a mocking smile on his face, saying the word "Sad" with his lips. Su Mianyue gave him a dirty look and was in the mood to mock her at this time.

Su Mianyue was displeased, but his face was undisguised. He wrapped his hands around his arms and looked as if he had been too frightened to deal with the situation.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Su Mianyue bit his lips and looked forward with his moist eyes, but there was no focus at all. Mu Chen could not help but admire him and said to himself: thanks to eating so much, he finally learned to be smart.

The wooden table was removed and the spears were pointed at Su Mianyue and Mu Chen. When the two men were seen clearly, the Imperial Guard was completely stunned and smart people rushed out to report the news.

"Why is the empress here? Or with..." As Mu Tinng's expression changed, Gu Linng spoke in a low voice, but everyone was huddled in the yard, hearing what she said. Gu ling quickly covered her mouth in panic and lowered her eyes to swallow the second half of the sentence.

"Your majesty, I will go in and investigate in case there is any fraud." After glancing coldly at gu ling, Shangguan Pei stepped forward and asked for his orders.

"No need. I believe in Prince Rui and the empress more." Mu Tinng's voice was low and he strode into the room. The Imperial Guard had already given way.

There was a man's distance between Mu Chen and Su Mianyue. Mu Chen's hand was covering the wound with his hand, and blood spilled through his fingers. Su Mianyue squatted down in shock.

"Your majesty..." When she looked up at Mu Tinng, Su Mianyue immediately cried out and said in a trembling voice, "I thought I would never see your majesty again..."

Mu Tinng, who had some doubts, immediately threw them aside and walked quickly to Su Mianyue's side, hugging her in his arms and softly saying, "Don't be afraid, I am here."

The simple four words, however, were filled with infinite tenderness, which moved the other people present, and there were many resentful people.

Su Mianyue just nodded and held Mu Tinng's sleeve tightly, not saying a word.

Mu Tinng then looked at mu chen and said, "Send king rui to treat his wounds first."

The Imperial Guard stepped forward and helped Mu Chen to another room for treatment. Mu Tinng took Su Mianyue to the palace next door, accompanied by several concubines of second grade and above, while the others stood in the courtyard waiting.

Out of the palace at this moment, at least for a few hours, and Su Mianyue was frightened, Mu Chen was injured, the two were still together, these things must be answered in front of everyone, otherwise the biggest victim will also become the most criticized person.

After Su Mianyue calmed down, Mu Tinng asked, "Didn't the queen go out for a breather? How did she get here?"

Mu Tinng did not ask why Su Mianyue was in the same room with Mu Chen, but Su Mianyue had to explain, "The concubine was originally in the pavilion to watch the moon. Biwu was afraid that the concubine would get cold, so he went back to the phoenix palace to get a thick cloak. Who knew that while the concubine was sitting in the pavilion, an assassin suddenly wanted to assassinate the concubine, if not the concubine..."
