The vicious character collapses in front of the villain husband

Qingqiao held the tree root and examined it. After a moment, he frowned and said, "My Lady, this tree is a little strange, but I can't tell what the problem is for now."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded, dug out the moist soil from the eggshell, thought for a moment, and said to Mu Ying, and also instructed Qing Qiao, "It is best to plant the Owl Shadow Tree in this courtyard. Large trees should not be planted in other places. Don't tell others about the fact that the little prince and I came to this courtyard today."

Qingqiao lowered his head: "Yes."

Mu Ying frowned, "Mother, Ying'er doesn't want father to see this eggshell anymore. Mother, please destroy it or bury it underground. Father will blame himself if he sees this eggshell."

This was exactly what Mu Xiaoxi wanted.

"Okay, mother will take care of it and won't let your father see it. This big tree..." Mu Xiaoxi raised her head slightly, "mother will send people to water it often."

Mu Ying was not on guard at all, "Then Ying'er can come here often to take a nap? Mother, help Ying'er build a small hammock up there!"

"This courtyard is remote. If you come, let Qingqiao accompany you and call a few guards."

Mu Ying looked at Qing Qiao with some fear, not forgetting the time when Qing Qiao whipped her with his arms. She said, "Well... will mother come? Mother left the python tribe after giving birth to me. She almost forgot what this courtyard looks like. I'll take mother around to have a look!"

"okay."

Mu Xiaoxi put the half eggshell that she could barely hold in her palm into her Qiankun bag, ordered Qingqiao to replant the tree back to its original position, and followed Mu Ying to the small house deep in the courtyard.

"In the future, unless your father asks, do not mention what happened with the Owl Shadow Tree today to him."

Mu Ying agreed. Even if her mother didn't say anything, she wouldn't mention it on her own initiative. Otherwise, her father would say that she felt guilty and indebted to him, which would make her extremely uncomfortable.

Better never to mention it.

"Mother, this is Father's room."

As Mu Ying spoke, she recalled the chatter of the palace servants that she had overheard, and looked up at her mother. "Mother, I heard that you only stayed here on the night of your wedding, and then left. Where did you go later?"

Mu Xiaoxi looked at the layout of the room and suddenly felt that it was terribly familiar.

Suddenly she remembered the night when there was lightning and thunder outside... In her memory, there was also the sour feeling of the man's sweat falling into her eyes.

It is true that there are often missions that require pre-participation assessments, but this is the first time that an assessment of that level has been carried out.

Mu Xiaoxi was lost in her memories, a little dazed, and only came back to her senses when Mu Ying shook her hand.

"Mother? I heard that someone brought me back to my father from the fox tribe. Why didn't mother come back with me?" Mu Ying asked with his head raised.

In fact, he had wanted to ask these questions for a long time, but he was afraid that his mother would blame him for being too talkative.

"Mother... has important matters to deal with." The original body must have hated the python clan very much, which is why she was so repulsive. Mu Xiaoxi didn't know how to explain it, so she just straightened the loose hair on Mu Ying's temples as if to comfort her.

Mu Ying was obviously not satisfied with such a perfunctory and non-specific answer, but she still nodded and took Mu Xiaoxi's hand to another room.

"Mother, this is Ying'er's room. Look here. You can see the moon outside from here."

Mu Xiaoxi followed the direction of Mu Ying's finger and looked up to see a big hole in the roof above.

That’s right, with such a big hole, you can naturally see the moon.

"In the past, Ying'er often climbed to the roof to watch the moon out of play, but my python body was too heavy and it crushed the roof. Fortunately, when I fell, my father caught me in time..." As Mu Ying spoke, his expression became tangled, as if he was in great confusion.

"Mother, but I don't know why, my father who caught me looks so big..."

"Hmm? Is that so?" Mu Xiaoxi agreed absentmindedly.

"It's just that they were taller and bigger. Before I could confirm it, my father teleported away. When Ying'er asked him about it later, he said that I fell and got confused. He didn't enter my room, let alone catch me when I fell."

This sounded like a haunted scene in a supernatural novel. Mu Xiaoxi touched Mu Ying's slightly cold face and said, "Did the ghost, no, the person older than your father, say anything?"

"He told me to wait for him and that he would not let me get hurt this time."

Mu Ying recalled that day when he fell headfirst and had no time to grab onto anything. He could only close his eyes and wait to fall, but suddenly he was caught.

The reason why he remembered it so clearly was because his father never hugged him except that time.

"Stupid." The older father pinched his nose and said, "Xiaoying'er, you can fall down like this, do you have a pig's head? Don't be so stupid, and don't trust others easily... Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you, wait until I come back, this time, I will never let those bastards kill you again!"

Mu Xiaoxi lowered her other hand and touched the other side of Mu Ying's face, and found that it was not right.

"Is Ying'er cold? Why is your face so cold?"

Mu Ying shook his head, but the heaven and earth began to sway left and right with this shake.

"Um, mother, Ying'er feels a little dizzy. This little room is shaking so much. Ying'er wants to tell you..." Mu Ying didn't finish her words and fell into Mu Xiaoxi's arms.

When Mu Ying opened her eyes again, she was already in the sedan chair, and next to her was Cheng Ming, who had been there for some unknown period of time.

"Why am I here?"

"Your Highness, you fainted at Empress Mu's place, so she ordered us to go and fetch you back. She also told us to have a good rest."

Mu Ying nodded.

Cheng Ming looked at the little prince's pale face and felt sad.

Your Highness must have been punished by Empress Mu again. He clearly got up early today to pick fresh dew, so why was he punished again?

Empress Mu also said that she would convey a message to His Highness when he wakes up, asking him not to eat carelessly recently and to be careful about everything. Isn't this a threat?

Your Highness is not allowed to eat, and be careful not to make mistakes, otherwise, you may be punished again. Empress Mu had warned and threatened Your Highness in the same way several times before.

I cannot convey this threat. If Empress Mu blames me someday, I will take the punishment on behalf of the little prince!

But even if Jiang Ming and Lan Ming were included, and everyone was punished for the young prince, it would still be difficult to keep the prince safe.

Perhaps the only one who can be relied on is Concubine Qi.

Everyone in the clan said that all the widows of the old demon emperor had been blamed, leaving only Concubine Qi, and there was a reason for this.

There are different opinions, but the most plausible reason is that Concubine Qi had actually already cultivated to the late stage of the Golden Core and was a great demon, but she had been hiding herself all these years and had been keeping a low profile just because she didn't want to cause trouble. The people in the dark were afraid of her and therefore did not take action.

This rumor was further confirmed by the fact that Empress Mu had never caused trouble for Concubine Qi.

Maybe I should go and ask Concubine Qi for help!

Cheng Ming made up his mind to prepare some gold and silver jewelry to ask for Concubine Qi's blessing tomorrow.
