Chapter 562: Chapter 563 Naturally Protect My Man_1
Just then, Eunuch Li ca in to report, “Your Majesty, Prince He’an has arrived.”
Muniang had already signaled Yu Ze earlier, so naturally, he should be rushing over at this mont.
Long Yi’s mind was still in turmoil. With Yu Ze suddenly arriving, he hadn’t decided what to do yet, who to trust or not to trust. At this mont, Long Yi was uncertain.
But since the man had already co, it would not be good to refuse to et him, especially since his wife had just taken a knife for him.
“Let him in,” Long Yi said in a calm voice.
Yu Ze hurried in, bowed in salute, but his eyes were urgently searching for Muniang in the room. The Hidden Guard had reported that Muniang had deliberately taken a knife for the Emperor, and Yu Ze roughly understood the ins and outs. Although he knew Muniang did it for his sake, Yu Ze’s heart ached at the thought of this young woman being so reckless with her life.
By now, Muniang had already been helped by He Fangfei to sit on the Taishi chair to the side. Yu Ze took a covert glance at her; the wound was not fatal and she should be alright, but the sight of her pale little face still pained him.
“This subject rushed over as soon as I heard that Your Majesty had been attacked here. Out of fear that Your Majesty might have been hard, if sothing truly happened to Your Majesty’s dragon body, not only would this subject feel guilty, but all the subjects under the heavens would bla this subject. After all, Qinghua City is this subject’s territory. I’m afraid the people would bla this subject for not being able to protect Your Majesty and letting Your Majesty co to harm in this subject’s lands,” Yu Ze said.
Yu Ze’s words on the surface seem only to express concern for Long Yi’s well-being, but in reality, he was brainwashing Long Yi. This was his territory; should sothing happen to Long Yi here, and then he usurped the throne, everyone would curse him for regicide and usurpation because it would be too obvious.
At this mont, Long Yi’s mind cleared up, his thoughts no longer shallow. He’d already been swayed by Muniang’s actions, and now Yu Ze’s words obviously intended for him to dismiss the last bit of doubt in his heart.
What originally seed like a perfectly staged fra-up turned complicated and full of contradictions due to Muniang taking a knife. Long Yi was no longer solely suspicious of Yu Ze; he was wary of anyone who coveted his throne, now suspecting that it might be that reckless individual who wanted to assassinate him and intentionally fra Yu Ze for it.
If he were to die, Yu Ze would be scorned by everyone, and the true culprit would benefit in the end!
Now, Long Yi didn’t dwell on his suspicion of Yu Ze; instead, he was considering who stood to gain in the end, which would point to the real assassin.
“Today’s incident clearly involves soone with the intent to fra and shift the bla. The matter is of great importance, and I will certainly investigate to get to the bottom of it,” Long Yi said.
Muniang sighed with relief, it seed the Emperor was going to let Yu Ze off the hook this ti.
Lady Rong clenched her teeth in hatred. A good ga of chess ruined by Qiao Muniang. Such a pri opportunity to topple Yu Ze wasted, that woman was simply infuriating!
Muniang triumphantly raised an eyebrow at Lady Rong, her eyes chilling several degrees as she watched Lady Rong with the look of soone enjoying a monkey show.
Lady Rong’s failure was one thing, but she also suffered a scolding for nothing. Long Yi didn’t let her get up before he walked away, leaving her there, whether by forgetting or as an intentional punishnt.
Muniang thought to herself, “A man’s dignity truly cannot be trampled,” Lady Rong had indeed hit a steel plate this ti.
Yu Ze looked coldly at Lady Rong on the ground: “His Majesty has left, if you want to put on a show by kneeling, do it sowhere else, out of my sight.”
Lady Rong glared at him furiously before letting a young maid help her up and walked away, her body staggering.
He Fangfei sensed that Yu Ze and Muniang likely had matters to discuss and didn’t want to be the third wheel, so she left as well, dismissing all the servants in the room on her way out.
Muniang, noticing the chilly look in Yu Ze’s eyes, knew that he was angry because she had carelessly joked about her own well-being. Her previously fierce deanor instantly softened, and she weakly called out, “Husband.”
Yu Ze, with a stern face, pulled her into his embrace, about to undo her clothing. Muniang blushed, “You’re angry, fine, but why the need for pushing and pulling?”
Yu Ze glared at her, “Sit still!”
Muniang complied, and Yu Ze began to unfasten her clothes, revealing her pale and delicate shoulders, already bandaged, but with a bit of blood oozing out. Nevertheless, Yu Ze’s heart still ached intensely.
“You’re quite clever to co up with such a good thod, but what if the blade had no eyes and struck a vital spot? What would I do then?!” Yu Ze said sternly.
“I was just anxious, afraid that the emperor might really suspect you because of this. It would be troubleso then. I naturally had a sense of asure, look, the wound isn’t deep at all,” Muniang’s voice grew fainter—perhaps Yu Ze’s gaze was too penetrating, or maybe she felt incredibly guilty.
Muniang had no choice but to tug at Yu Ze’s sleeve and whispered, “I was wrong, okay? I definitely won’t dare to do it again. My shoulder still hurts, oh, it’s killing .”
Yu Ze felt both angry and helpless, “Why didn’t I hear you cry out in pain earlier?” Though he said that, he still carefully dressed Muniang, his movents beca imasurably gentler, for fear of hurting her.
Muniang cunningly smiled, “What’s the use of showing pain in front of others? Only my husband feels for .”
“Stop playing with words here, if you dare to take your life lightly again, I won’t let you off,” Yu Ze said fiercely.
Muniang quickly nodded her head obediently, “Definitely, definitely!”
Yu Ze sighed with resignation, “This was directed at
to begin with, why should you protect ? I am a man; do I need my own woman to stand in front for ?”
But Muniang said, “You’re my man too; of course, I have to protect my man!”
Yu Ze ruffled Muniang’s hair, “You sure have a lot of principles.” However, his heart felt unexpectedly comforted.
“Even if you hadn’t stepped in this ti, I would have managed. My life is not sothing the emperor can take whenever he pleases,” Yu Ze said earnestly.
Muniang blinked, “What do you an?”
“I didn’t tell you these things before because you don’t like them, but Muniang, you must believe . Even for your sake and our children’s, I will absolutely not allow myself to be in danger, nor will I let you all be in danger. For now, I comply with the emperor to avoid too much trouble, but if he really becos prejudiced against
and intends to sanction , I am not soone who will just sit and await death. I still hold many cards in my hand.”
Muniang nestled into Yu Ze’s embrace, “Mmm, I believe you.”
“It’s clear that Nangong Qian targeted you deliberately this ti. But didn’t you say he’s still coveting the throne? How does he have the leisure to trouble you now?” Muniang suddenly asked.
