An embarrassed woman said angrily, “Father, are we really going to sit and wait to die?” The flickering light made her face even more ferocious.
This woman was Liu Zixi who was led by Liu Muwei to escape from the Liu family since they knew that the Liu family had been defeated.
Looking at his exasperated daughter in front of him, Liu Muwei said in a deep voice, “Now all the people of the Liu family have been arrested by Qi Liange, and those people on my side have probably been arrested by Qi Liange as well. Qi Liange is already ready for everything now. It’s impossible for him to give us any chance to stage a comeback.”
Liu Zixi heard Liu Muwei’s words and resentfully said, “I am the crown princess. If he becomes the emperor, of course, I will be the empress.”
Liu Muwei looked at her irrational daughter and sighed fiercely in her heart.
“Don’t live under any illusions. What you need to do now is to figure out how to get the bargaining chips from Qi Liange to live and make a comeback in the future, instead of blindly fantasizing. If we did not have Qi Muyuan as a bargaining chip, do you think we would still be safe now?” Liu Muwei gently shouted at Liu Zixi.
The current situation was beyond his control. Qi Liange had been out of their control, and now they were at the mercy of Qi Liange.
When Liu Zixi heard Liu Muwei’s roar, she only felt aggrieved in her mind and looked at Qi Muyuan who seemed not to be worried on the side. She was even angrier in her mind.
“Bitch! You’d better pray that Qi Liange will come to save you. If he doesn’t come here, I’ll take you to die with me even if I die.” Liu Zixi roared angrily at Qi Muyuan and kicked Qi Muyuan.
And even if Qi Muyuan bore Liu Zixi’s kick, she was still indifferent. She was not worried that Qi Liange wouldn’t come to save her. Even though she was suffering now, she could endure it anyway.
Liu Muwei stopped Liu Zixi and gently said, “Zi Xi, enough! If Qi Liange sees his sister like this, I’m not sure what he will do to us. Give yourself a fallback.”
And Liu Zixi listened to Liu Muwei’s words. Even though she was resentful in her mind, she still stopped kicking Qi Muyuan. Liu Muwei was right. She understood it all.
Qi Muyuan looked at Liu Muwei and mockingly said, “Oh! I haven’t expected that Prime Minister Liu really understands the situation. If you had known how to do at the beginning, you wouldn’t have fallen low like this.”
As soon as Liu Muwei listened to the words of Qi Muyuan, he turned to look at her and only saw the undisguised hatred and schadenfreude in her eyes.
“Yes. If we had known how to do at the beginning, we would not have fallen low like this. But Princess, your queen mother has died. Even though you have got everything now, your queen mother still cannot come back to life.” Liu Muwei said. He calmly looked at Qi Muyuan as if he did not see the hatred in Qi Muyuan’s eyes.
Qi Muyuan resentfully looked at Liu Muwei and said, “Shut up! You killed my queen mother. Now it’s your retribution. None of the people of the Liu family can live. Both you and Liu Zixi deserve to die. You are going to be buried with my queen mother.”
As soon as Liu Zixi listened to the words of Qi Muyuan, she was angry for a moment. Liu Zixi just rushed forward and gave Qi Muyuan a slap regardless of Liu Muwei’s stop.
“Even if I’m buried with your mother, I’ll take you with me and send you to be reunited with your mother.” Liu Zixi said like crazy.
Liu Muwei looked at all this and asked himself in his mind whether he was right or wrong at the beginning.
A masked man stood in the dark and whispered in a hoarse voice, “Prime Minister Liu. I can only help you so far. If the emperor comes here, I hope you will return Princess Muyuan safely.”
Liu Muwei listened to the man’s words. He was stunned. Then he nodded and said, “Why do you help us? In this way, you will have no way out in the future.”
As soon as the man listened to Liu Muwei’s words, he also knew what Liu Muwei meant by saying that. His heart was suddenly filled with guilt, but looking at Liu Zixi’s anxious face, the man calmly said, “Even if I regret it now, there’s also no turning back, right? He never forgives those people who betray him. What’s more, I hurt the person closest to him.”
As soon as he heard the man’s words, Liu Muwei was stunned and then said with relief, “Yes. I am an example.”
On this side, Qi Liange had assembled his army and was ready to set out to rescue Qi Muyuan.
The man in black walked to Qi Liange and said, “Emperor, everything is ready.”
Qi Liange nodded and said, “What’s going on in the post house?”
The man in black replied in a deep voice, “Everything is fine in the post house, and according to your instructions, if Miss Bai wants to leave, we will try our best to stop her at all costs.”
Qi Liange nodded with satisfaction and said, “If the others want to leave, just kill them. Remember not to hurt Aoxue and just put her under house arrest. Whoever hurts her deserves to die.”
The man in black nodded to obey the order.
Qi Liange looked at the empty position beside him and lightly asked, “Have you found Suxiao?”
Although he didn’t see Suxiao, he had probably guessed in his mind where Suxiao was at this moment.
The man in black whispered, “Emperor. There is no sign of Suxiao.”
Qi Liange nodded and made up his mind. He said, “I see. Let’s set out when everything is ready.”
Qi Liange and his people were ready to start, while the post house was surrounded by the dark clouds at this time. The atmosphere was extremely gloomy.
Mumian painstakingly persuaded Bai Aoxue beside her and said, “Miss. Let’s eat something first. So, you will have the strength to leave tomorrow.”
“Yes, Miss. You’d better have some food.” Hongxiu was also very anxious.
Since the conversation between Miss and Prince was over, Miss had been sitting like this without saying a word. She didn’t answer anyone who talked to her, which made people very anxious.
Looking at the crescent moon in the sky, Bai Aoxue said lightly, “Mumian. Hongxiu. You and Wenxi should act separately from me when we leave tomorrow. None of you should come back to Chengxi Dynasty. I will ask Nalan Youhong to arrange your accommodation. When my business is over, I will come back to you. Do you understand?”
Mumian and Hongxiu temporarily didn’t understand why Bai Aoxue wouldn’t go with them.
But Wenxi frowned tightly aside.
“Why? Miss. Where are you going?” Mumian asked excitedly. There was only one thought in her heart that Bai Aoxue didn’t want them anymore.
When Bai Aoxue looked at Mumian like this, she already knew what she was thinking.
Bai Aoxue said in a deep voice, “I’m going to Mobei Dynasty. Now the situation is very messy. I am afraid that Jun Wuhen will kill my uncle. I must rush to Mobei Dynasty. If you follow me, I can’t guarantee your safety. So, it is the best plan for you to be separated from me.”
When Mumian listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, she said anxiously, “Miss! Is General in danger?”
Bai Aoxue nodded gently. Although she was anxious in her mind, she could not leave at this moment.
Wenxi calmly said, “Miss. Don’t worry. I will take good care of Hongxiu and Mumian.”
Hongxiu and Mumian both did not speak. They acquiesced in the idea of Bai Aoxue in their hearts. Although they all wanted to go with Bai Aoxue to share her sorrows very much, they would only become a burden if they didn’t have the strength.
In that case, they would stay and let Miss worry less. The sooner Miss settled the matter, the sooner she would be able to return to be reunited with them.
Bai Aoxue nodded gently and looked out of the window at the curved moon. She lightly said, “The full moon is coming soon.”
After saying, she slowly got up and said, “Help me with my luggage. I’ll go to find Jun Yeyan.”
Looking at Bai Aoxue leaving the room, Mumian lightly said, “We are…really useless.”
Wenxi looked at Mumian who was so depressed and lightly said, “Don’t say that. Miss has never used us as a tool. Miss has never asked us to do anything for her, hasn’t she? Besides, we are her family. When she is sad, we can listen to her.”
As soon as Mumian listened to Wenxi’s words, she was moved in her heart. Just as Wenxi said, they were a family. Now, Miss was going on a long trip, so they should pray for her in earnest and greet her with a smile when she came back.
Mumian showed a smile and said, “Wenxi. I see. Let’s pack up the luggage for Miss first.”
While Bai Aoxue outside the door was listening to the words of these three people. She gently raised her lips. Even though the Mobei Dynasty was so turbulent, she was not afraid as she was not alone.
“Master. Where are you going?” As soon as Bai Aoxue was about to leave, she heard the voice of Liushuang.
Seeing Liushuang, Bai Aoxue smiled gently and said, “I just have something that needs your help.”
On hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Liushuang opened his bleary peach-blossom-like eyes and said, “Master, please tell me. I must go through fire and water for you as your apprentice.”
As soon as Bai Aoxue heard Liushuang’s words, she raised her hand and gently tapped Liushuang’s head. She said, “I’m going to Mobei Dynasty to find my uncle tomorrow. You can stay with Mumian and others first and then look for a good location in Nanyue Dynasty. You can buy and open a gambling shop. Then you can make a chain of our gambling shops.”
As soon as Liushuang heard that Bai Aoxue was about to leave, he frowned unhappily and said, “Why do you want to leave again? I was just reunited with you today.”
Looking at the appearance of Liushuang, Bai Aoxue secretly thought in her mind that this guy was acting coquettishly, wasn’t he?
But she just lightly said, “Jun Wuhen is going to do harm to my uncle. Whether I can do it or not, I will rush to see my uncle.”
When Liushuang was on his way here, he had heard some gossip more or less. He thought it was fake, but now it seemed to be true.
Liushuang insistently said, “Can I go there with you, Master? I can protect you.”
The Mobei Dynasty had been at war for years. She was a weak woman to go to Mobei Dynasty alone. He would not rest assured.
Bai Aoxue smiled softly and said, “Jun Yeyan will go there with me. You just stay here and expand our gambling shops.”
As soon as Liushuang listened to the words of Bai Aoxue, Liushuang’s peach-blossom-like eyes were instantly gloomy.
Well. How could he forget that man? How could that man let her leave alone?
Liushuang lightly replied, “All right. Master. You should come back early.”
At least, he could stay to expand his and her gambling shops.
Bai Aoxue nodded and said, “I have something to do with Jun Yeyan. Please come with me. We’ll have dinner together later.”
Liushuang followed Bai Aoxue. They walked to a room around the corner. As soon as Bai Aoxue tried to open the door, she heard the sound of the porcelain falling to the ground inside.
Liushuang moved quickly. He pulled Bai Aoxue behind him. Then he stretched out his hand vigilantly and intended to open the door to see what had happened on earth.
“What did you say? Say it again.” As soon as he was about to open the door, the hoarse voice of Jun Yeyan came over. It was low with some restraint.
