After traveling through time, I became a thorn in the eyes of the sickly prince

Chapter 242 Wait a minute, do you think I’m a dead man?

Mu Xi turned her head and found that they were Murong Wenshuo's concubines, palace maids and eunuchs. Their hair was loose and their clothes were untidy. Ge Qiuhe and Shui Molan, who were in the lead, were crying the most miserably.

"Princess, only you can save us. The Empress Dowager has sent the Chu Army to arrest us everywhere, saying that we have brought shame to Daxia and want to execute us to accompany the Emperor in his burial!!!"

"Princess, please save us. We are innocent women and we don't want this to happen."

Dozens of women were sobbing, their eyes filled with despair.

An Muxi stood up and looked at An Yi, "Take them to Wang Po to help. Those who know needlework can do the work, and those who don't can help out." What a joke, how could so many people be buried with a dead person? This is obviously a personal vendetta.

"Yes, Princess!"

After expressing their gratitude, all the women followed An Yi away.

Just as he swallowed the last bite of his steamed bun, he saw Chu Zili leading his troops towards him.

"Princess, the Empress Dowager wants me to arrest Ge Qiuhe and other concubines and palace maids and bring them back to face the law!!!"

"Oh, what law have they broken? Now they are busy making cotton-padded clothes and trousers!"

An Muxi took out another steamed bun. He didn't like this old lady Chu at all. He could still remember clearly how she had bossed him around. It would be best if she died in Jiayuguan and didn't return to Kyoto to harm others.

"Princess, please don't embarrass me!!!" Chu Zili's face showed anger. He didn't expect that Princess Duan would dare to be so neglectful.

"Since you are my subordinate, you should obey me. Don't be like some people who only know how to eat and not work, and crush others everywhere!" After saying that, she took a big bite of the steamed bun. There is a five-year-old emperor in the palace now. How can she be called the Grand Empress Dowager? Tsk tsk, but as long as the emperor's surname is Murong, she seems to be the Grand Empress Dowager. Forget it, never mind.

Seeing Mu Xi's firm attitude, Chu Zilie turned and left.

Not long after,

The Empress Dowager was carried over by the Chu family army.

The old lady changed into a clean dark purple dress and tied her hair up high. Her temperament and majesty immediately rose to a higher level. The unfriendly look in her eyes showed that she was looking for trouble.

As expected, as soon as the sedan chair landed, Queen Mother Chu immediately shouted angrily,

"Princess Duan, you are so arrogant! You dare to stop me from arresting someone?" Her voice was full of ruthlessness, and her clenched fists were trembling slightly. Those concubines dared to hit her in the prison, and those palace maids and eunuchs saw her being humiliated, so they all deserved to die!

An Muxi stood up and looked at Old Lady Chu with burning eyes. He found that her right face was still a little swollen, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

"I have no right to interfere with who the Empress Dowager wants to arrest, but now is the time to recruit people. I am sending them to make cotton-padded clothes. It's so cold, most of the soldiers have caught typhoid fever, and we don't have enough manpower!!!"

"How dare you! Do you know that they have been insulted by the enemy and are not worthy of being the emperor's women?"

"Why were they insulted by the enemy? Isn't it because the Great Xia Kingdom did not protect them? What did they do wrong???" Say it, scanning the old face of the Empress Dowager, "The enemy country doesn't eat all the food!" The meaning is very clear, you are old, otherwise you wouldn't be alive!

"You, you," the Queen Mother pointed a finger at An Muxi and trembled with anger.

"You rebellious bitch, how dare you speak to me like that? Someone, come, get this bitch, cough, cough, cough!" Before he could finish his words, he started coughing violently.

Chu Zili had a gloomy face, drew his sword and walked forward.

An Yi, a guard at the palace, also drew his sword, his eyes full of hostility. This old lady Chu had sent people to kill Concubine Xiao last year, and she and Emperor Kangning falsely accused her own prince of colluding with the old subordinates of Prince Pingnan to rebel. She had long wanted to kill her.

The two sides are at war with each other, and the war is about to break out.

Prime Minister Chu came galloping with a group of soldiers. His gloomy old face seemed to be able to scrape off ice.

"Go and search. Could it be that all the food in Jiayu Pass has been transported away?"

An took a big step forward and bowed.

“Prime Minister Chu, my princess is timid, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to send so many soldiers!”

"Who the hell are you? Get out of the way!!!"

An Yi glared at him, ready to take action. All the palace guards gathered around him. The soldiers who had just recovered from drinking ginger soup also gathered around him. Everyone knew that Prince Duan was exiled to Yazhou last year. No one knew the truth at that time, but now Prince Duan led his soldiers all the way back to Jiayuguan from Yazhou and recovered so much lost land along the way. The soldiers had their own judgment on what was right and wrong.

On the contrary, it was the Chu family army who did not do practical work that left a bad impression on the soldiers. Those prostitutes were brought into the barracks by the Chu family army.

An Muxi looked at Prime Minister Chu's old face and knew why he was angry. "Prime Minister Chu wants to rob food openly, what can these two rows of barracks hold?"

"How dare you! Hand over the food! I have checked and you are the only one with clean food that has not been flooded!"

“Yes, there is clean food, but that food was protected by everyone with their lives. It should be fed to generals who can lead troops to fight, not to useless people!!!” The scorching eyes seemed to stare a hole in Prime Minister Chu’s face.

Queen Mother Chu stood up and said, "Prime Minister, why waste time talking to her? Just grab the food." She looked at Chu Zili and said, "Go and drag those bitches out. I want to see them die with my own eyes!"

Chu Zili led his men to rush to Wang Po's barracks and finally pulled out Ge Qiuhe and other concubines and palace maids.

"Princess, help!" Ge Qiuhe shouted.

"Princess, help!" All the concubines cried out loudly. No one wanted to die.

The Empress Dowager looked at the fearful eyes of these women with a smug smile on her face.

"Now I'm scared. I see you're so arrogant in the cell. Come, strangle them all to death and bury them with the emperor!!!" His eyes were full of ferocity.

Upon hearing this, all the concubines looked at Mu Xi for help.

"Princess, help, wuwuwu!"

Looking at the miserable faces, Mu Xi felt a little reluctant, "Grand Empress Dowager, you said they brought shame to Daxia. May I ask why the Grand Empress Dowager of a country, who has been a prisoner for two months, is now sitting here? Compared with them, shouldn't the Grand Empress Dowager be more worthy of sacrificing her life for the country? Also, with the enemy at hand, where does the Grand Empress Dowager want to bury the emperor? Jiayuguan?"

"An Muxi, I think you are tired of living. Come on, tie us all up."

"Wait, do you think I'm a dead man?" Murong Yue came over surrounded by a group of soldiers. He looked heroic and majestic in his silver military uniform.

There were more than thirty generals and twenty counselors behind him, all with stern expressions. These people used to be the guards and counselors of the various princes, but now they have turned against Prince Duan.
