The lady is reborn? The crazy villain kisses her forcefully and won't let go!

But when she passed by the queen, she couldn't hide the anger in her eyes.

The queen had no time to pay attention to Concubine Cheng's expression and was looking at the woman kneeling on the ground.

That familiar purple dress...

She immediately had a bad feeling.

After Concubine Cheng left, the emperor's majestic gaze fell on the woman kneeling on the ground and asked, "Who are you? How dare you hold the little prince hostage?"

The imperial guards surrounding her pointed their swords at her intently.

However, just as the emperor finished speaking, someone took the lead to reply on behalf of the woman kneeling on the ground, "Yaoyao!"

Song Wenjing walked quickly forward to Mu Luan and looked at her nervously.

Mu Luan raised her eyes, glanced at Song Wenjing, then looked at the emperor, and said gently: "I am the daughter of the general. Mu Luan, because I made a mistake, the queen ordered me to kneel here and repent."

The emperor frowned and looked carefully for a few seconds before realizing that the woman in front of him was none other than Mu Sinian's beloved daughter.

Because this face was very similar to an old friend, he had some impression of it.

But at this moment, one of her fair cheeks was red and swollen, her dress was wrinkled, and there were bright red blood stains on it.

It's obvious that he has been abused to this extent.

"Impossible, why are you here?"

The queen pushed away a guard, her voice no longer as calm as before, and stared at Mu Luan strangely.

Mu Luan blinked, and as if in fear, she subconsciously shrank her head back, and whispered, "Didn't the queen ask you to kneel here?"

The queen was speechless for a moment, her graceful face showing a bit of surprise and embarrassment.

Why is she still in the side hall? How exactly does Zhou Fuhai do things?

It’s still the aunt in charge!

She suddenly turned her head to look at the person beside her.

The head aunt looked like she had seen a ghost, with cold sweat on her forehead. She shook her head desperately at the queen, "I don't know..."

"Shut up!"

The Queen scolded in a low voice.

However, the expressions between the master and the servant were seen by others as an unspoken fact.

The queen did ask Mu Luan to kneel here.

Mu Luan raised her eyes to look at the queen, then quickly lowered them and whispered, "I knelt here for nearly an hour, and suddenly I heard the sound of a child crying at the window, so I... I walked over to see, and who knew it was actually a child."

She said seriously, "Looking at what he's wearing, I guess he's the little prince, but why is he here?"

The emperor looked at the queen deeply and said, "Since you knew it was the little prince, why didn't you report this to the imperial guards?"

"My maid..."

Mu Luan hesitated to speak, glanced at the queen, and then said, "I called the palace maid, but there seems to be no one outside."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, but it was not difficult for others to guess that she was afraid of the Queen.

"You are slandering me. I clearly left two eunuchs..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the queen stopped talking immediately, and then she realized that she had been fooled by this little bitch.

This implicitly acknowledged that Mu Luan's appearance was the Queen's will.

The emperor frowned, his face full of displeasure.

Besides making the man kneel here as punishment, she must have done something else.

"I told you to kneel, how come you are injured and there is blood on your body?"

Song Wenjing knelt on one leg beside Mu Luan, turned his head to look at the queen, and a sharp look flashed across his eyes, "I don't know what mistake Miss Mu made to be reduced to being punished by the queen."

There are rules in the harem that prohibit private punishment, but Mu Luan's appearance clearly shows that he has been severely beaten.

The emperor looked at the silent woman beside him with a cold look.

"How do you explain this?"

The queen twisted her fingers in her sleeves and argued, "I only asked her to reflect on her mistakes in this Buddhist temple, and I did not use private punishment..."

Mu Luan anxiously took over the conversation, "Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty only asked this subject to kneel here tonight to reflect on her mistakes. Nothing else. You also did not resort to... private punishment."

She glanced at the queen timidly, then immediately lowered her eyes, as if she was afraid of saying something wrong again and being punished.

His face was pale and almost bloodless, his kneeling body was trembling, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

How could it look so fragile and pitiful if it wasn't frightened by the beating?

The emperor's face darkened.

Mu Sinian played a significant role in the assassination of the prince.

He was also the biggest contributor to the near-death escape four years ago.

For many years, most of the troops in the capital were in the hands of the Mu family. Even if he wanted to reduce his military power, he would not do it at this critical juncture.

He took leave and left the capital a few days ago to continue tracking the assassin. He fought hard for the country, but his family was bullied by the royal family.

I heard that Mu Sinian dotes on this daughter very much.

In this case, if something really happened, there is no guarantee that Mu Sinian would not feel resentful.

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard Prince Jing's urgent call, "Yaoyao, Yaoyao..."

The emperor turned his head to look and saw that Mu Luan had collapsed due to exhaustion. Fortunately, Song Wenjing was quick to catch her.

Mu Luan felt hot all over, and she thought she could hold on until the time came to leave the palace.

But she was so sleepy, her head felt dizzy and heavy, and she really could not hold on any longer.

Seeing an abnormal blush on her pale face, Song Wenjing, regardless of the difference between men and women, reached out to touch her forehead, and his expression suddenly tensed.

He looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Mu and I grew up together. She has always been a sickly person. If something really happened in the palace..."

The emperor naturally knew what came next.

The most feared thing between a monarch and his subjects is estrangement, not to mention that Mu Sinian is the knife in his hand.

Mu Luan must not let anything happen in the palace!

The emperor glared at the queen and shouted, "You did such a good thing! Ahem..."

As he spoke, he suddenly started coughing violently.

"emperor……"

The queen hurried forward and wanted to tell him to take care of himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the bright yellow dragon robe, the emperor brushed it away in disgust.

He looked at the people below and said in a hoarse voice, "What are you still standing there for? Take the person away and ask the imperial physician to take a look."

The palace maids and eunuchs immediately surrounded her and helped Mu Luan leave the side hall.

Song Wenjing did not follow him, but turned and looked at the queen.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, why did you summon Miss Mu at night? And why did you treat her so cruelly?"

The questioning tone almost broke the queen's dignified expression.

But before she could open her mouth, Cao Mang said, "Prince Jing, please be aware of your status. The Queen is the mother of a country. Don't you even have the right to summon a woman?"

Song Wenjing's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he said meaningfully: "Your Majesty has the right to summon anyone. It's just that when we were looking for the little prince just now, the guards at the west gate never saw the carriage of the general's mansion from beginning to end. It's really amazing that one or two of them appeared in Kunning Palace inexplicably."
