The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Chapter 17 Can't Wait to Marry You

The next day.

At daybreak, a neat group of people entered the city, and early-morning hawkers and pedestrians on both sides avoided them.

"Your Highness! People from the capital have entered the city." Qingshan's voice sounded outside the house, which was earlier than they expected.

"I got it. Go and get ready." Qingshan walked away, but Jing Muyang didn't move.

He looked at Chujian who was sleeping in his arms. Her long eyelashes cast shadows, her rosy cheeks were shiny and beautiful, and the flaming red lips he had tasted just last night, all looked so peaceful and beautiful at this moment.

When she first saw it, she always felt that someone was staring at her in her dreams, and it was extremely aggressive. She couldn't get rid of it or hide from it no matter how hard she tried.

Just when she felt she was about to be attacked, she suddenly opened her eyes. Jing Muyang's enlarged face was already in front of her and he quickly kissed her on the lips.

"Mu Yang!" He actually stole a kiss! My face turned red when I first saw him.

Jing Muyang smiled brightly after stealing the kiss, "Princess, have you woken up? If not, let's sleep for a while longer."

"Wake up." Chu Jian immediately got up and put on his clothes. This Jing Muyang was really too dangerous.

"So the princess is so eager to return to Beijing, then let's set off early today." Jing Muyang teased and stood up.

"Mu Yang! Jing Mu Yang!" She was shy when they first met but couldn't refute. It was her fault for saying something she shouldn't have said last night. She had been questioning him for most of the night, and he was still talking when he woke up early in the morning.

Jing Muyang looked at her seriously, then smiled and hugged her in his arms, "It's the first time we met. I can't wait to return to Beijing and marry you."

The smug look on her face when she first saw him in his arms was pretty good.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Liu requests to see you!" Qingshan's voice sounded again.

"Okay, come in and serve."

Soon the door opened, Qingshan did not come in, but several maids came in carrying water, towels and cups, invited Chu Jian in, and gave her a scolding.

She felt uncomfortable having to have someone hand her hands to wash and brush her teeth. She wanted to refuse, but when she saw the little girls carefully wiping her hands, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Chu Jian, we are setting off for Beijing today. My father has sent someone here. You need to dress up." Jing Muyang could see that she was uncomfortable, but she needed the help of these maids now.

"Someone's coming? So early?" It was just daybreak. The sun rises early during daylight saving time, so it must be around six o'clock now.

"Yes, so early." Jing Muyang was also washing up. "They rushed here overnight. They probably knew that the prince and the princess couldn't wait to return to the capital."

I saw Jing Muyang grinning when I first met him. When did he become so talkative?

The maids put her hair in a bun, put a pearl hairpin in her hair, sculpted her face and painted her face. She had a good foundation and was naturally delicate. Although her overall facial features did not change much, she looked more elegant and noble, and her every move was playful and lively.

After everything was cleaned up, Jing Muyang took her hand and walked out of the house. Only then did she realize that there were several men holding whisks standing in the yard. When they saw them come out, they immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your servant greets His Majesty the King of War!" The old man in the lead shouted in a shrill voice with tears streaming down his face.

"Eunuch Liu is so polite. Sorry for keeping me waiting." Jing Muyang stepped forward and gave him a light support.

"Your Highness, it really is you! When the Emperor saw the token yesterday, he was so excited that he got up from his sickbed and sent servants to find out the truth overnight." Eunuch Liu wiped his tears, "Ever since the accident with the Prince, the Emperor has been unable to think about you and has been bedridden for several days."

Eunuch Liu looked him up and down, "I never thought that the prince was still alive and his legs and feet were restored. It's really the blessing of my great Lingyin Emperor!"

"It was my princess, Haoyou." Jing Muyang corrected him, "If it wasn't for the princess, even if I woke up alive in the coffin, I wouldn't be able to climb out of the tomb."

"Yes, yes, yes, my princess is so grateful!" Eunuch Liu knelt down again and bowed to the man he had just met.

She wanted to hide when they first met, but Jing Muyang put his arm around her waist and accepted the gesture.

"Eunuch Liu... Eunuch Liu, please stand up." She didn't know if this was the right answer.

"Thank you, Princess!" Eunuch Liu stood up and took a closer look at Chu Jian. She was good-looking, but a little timid. Her voice just now sounded panicky, thin and soft.

"Your Highness, let's set off after dinner. The Emperor must be eagerly waiting for us." Eunuch Liu had a smile on his face.

"it is good."

Beijing.

In the past few days, news suddenly spread in the capital that the King of War is still alive. No one knows who spread it. In addition, the chief eunuch of the court left the palace overnight last night, and the news quickly spread in the capital, and all kinds of rumors were flying everywhere.

"I heard that the War King has returned from the dead."

"It's too mysterious..."

"I heard that the War King is not dead. He woke up and crawled out after being buried..."

"How do you know so clearly?"

"Haven't you heard? I came from Li County a few days ago, and it's a mess over there. Rumor has it that ghosts have been haunted since the burial of the War King, and even the tombstone has been filed beyond recognition."

"I haven't heard of it. Tell me about it..."

"It is said that there were three daring tomb robbers who followed the funeral procession. As soon as the War King was buried and the soil was filled, they dug a hole and opened the coffin. Guess what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"There was a female ghost with a green head and a black face digging out the heart of the War King. They were so scared that they ran away. When they recovered and went back two days later, there was nothing in the tomb. The body was gone, the coffin was in a mess, and all the gold, silver and jewelry were gone."

"The three were so frightened that they kept talking nonsense, which led to the local authorities investigating. The matter was reported to the court. When the emperor heard that the tomb of the War King had been dug up, he was so angry that he fell ill and did not attend court for several days."

"real or fake?"

"It's just a rumor, but the commotion last night, I think they found some clues."

Everyone was talking at once, completely unaware that the protagonist they were talking about was on his way to the capital.

In the carriage, she sat upright, feeling nervous and scared. Eunuch Liu said that they would arrive in the capital by nightfall, and then they could go directly to the palace to see the emperor. This...

She felt that she was not ready to be taken back to meet her parents, but this meeting was likely to happen today. However, she did not know any of the palace rules. If she broke the rules, would she be beaten with a stick or beheaded like on TV?

The carriage went straight into the palace. Eunuch Liu led Jing Muyang and Chu Jian straight to the Yangxin Palace. The emperor had already gotten off the bed with the help of others. When he saw Jing Muyang, his eyes were dazed for a moment. His son really appeared in front of him.

"Muyang, Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu..." The emperor reached out to grab him, Jing Muyang quickly stepped forward to catch him, held him steady, and then knelt solemnly on the ground.

"Father, I'm back late!"

When she first saw him, she immediately knelt on the ground. No matter what, it was always right to kowtow first. Although she didn't want to, she had to remember where she was and who she was!

"Okay, okay, it's good that you're back!" The emperor choked and pulled him up.

“Father, it’s all thanks to the princess, otherwise I would have really died.” Jing Muyang turned around and pulled Chu Jian up to him, “It’s also thanks to the princess’s care along the way that I recovered so quickly.”

"Okay, okay, my good daughter-in-law, I will reward you handsomely!"

The emperor had a very good first impression of her when they first met, she was warm and gentle, especially when he saw Jing Muyang taking good care of her and paying utmost attention to her, he must be someone he liked.

"Mu Yang..." An anxious cry came from behind.

When I turned around, I saw a pale and thin lady stumbling in.

"Mother!" Jing Muyang knelt again, and Chu Jian quickly knelt down as well.

"Muyang...my prince!" The crying voice was both sad and excited. She hugged Jing Muyang and looked left and right, up and down, and cried for a while.

I don't know how to describe it when I first saw it. This is probably the reaction of parents seeing their child come back to life, excited, touching and incredible.

I stood beside him obediently throughout the whole meeting.

The emperor still felt very uncomfortable when he saw the person. Judging from what happened to Jing Muyang, someone might be unable to bear it anymore.

At the next morning court session, when the ministers were still discussing the theft of the tomb of King Zhan of Li County and the disappearance of the King Zhan's body, Jing Muyang appeared in the Golden Palace supporting the emperor.

The ministers and princes below were all shocked. The body of the War King did not disappear, but the body found a way to save itself.

So after this day, Jing Muyang returned with great force, and there would probably be big moves in the capital.
