Chapter 209 The emperor has woken up and asked you to go see him.
Su Muxi took An Yutang's attack and then started fighting with him. They said it was a sparring match, but both of them had deadly moves. Su Muxi had sharpness and endurance gained from his experience on the battlefield, while An Yutang was decisive and ruthless in assassinations.
The two were evenly matched and the battle was hard to decide, but An Yutang was vicious, and seeing that he could not quickly deal with Su Muxi, he attacked the emperor on the bed.
Su Muxi couldn't dodge or evade, so she could only fight hard. After a few moves, An Yutang found her weakness and hooked her waist and abdomen with his scimitar. If he used more force, Su Muxi would be cut in half in the next moment.
This is also the reason why An Yutang's scimitar is so powerful. It is different from a normal knife. His scimitar is double-edged. It is a knife when chopping and a sickle when retracting. Su Muxi moved with the speed of An Yutang retracting the knife. He quickly swung the sword with his right hand and switched it to his left hand. When he got close to An Yutang, he finally blocked the scimitar.
At this moment, the two were very close to each other. An Yutang lowered his eyes and looked at Su Muxi, "Xi'er, you are still too kind."
As he spoke, he raised his left hand and slashed towards Su Muxi's neck.
"No." Su Muxi's eyes trembled. She looked into An Yutang's eyes and stabbed the other short blade into An Yutang's chest.
Even so, An Yutang did not retract his hand. He cut Su Muxi's neck on the back, but his force was reduced and he failed to actually cut off Su Muxi's neck.
But this was not an easy experience either, as both of them were injured. Su Muxi deflected An Yutang's scimitar, and An Yutang retreated, covering his chest.
Both of them wanted to end the fight quickly, and although they were ruthless, neither of them really intended to kill. An Yutang was a little slow in retracting the knife, and the stab in Su Muxi's chest missed the target.
After all, they were in the palace, heavily guarded outside. Even if the two of them fought quickly, they still attracted attention from outside.
When Xiao Yunxiu came in, the injured An Yutang was the only one left in the room. The emperor and the marquis' wife were nowhere to be seen.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yunxiu looked at An Yutang, his suspicion undisguised, "Aren't you supposed to show your loyalty? Where's the person?"
An Yutang held a scimitar in one hand and covered his chest with the other, his eyes dim and unclear, "Your Majesty, Su Muxi has been hiding in the palace and just attacked secretly."
An Yutang spat out a mouthful of blood, "There is a secret passage in the palace, Your Majesty should send people to intercept it as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing that there was a secret passage, Xiao Yunxiu broke out in a cold sweat. Su Muxi had already lurked in the palace, but had never taken any action. If An Yutang had not tested Su Muxi today, he dared not even think about the consequences.
He softened his tone, "Lord An, go and treat your wound first, and leave the rest to me."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty," An Yutang bowed his head and saluted, "Su Muxi is also injured, and he is carrying two burdens, so he shouldn't be able to walk far."
After giving the reminder, An Yutang left the bedroom, and Xiao Yunxiu immediately arranged for people to search.
Half of Su Muxi's neck was swollen and her right hand was powerless. She held the Marquis's wife with her left hand and followed behind Xiao Yunjin, who was walking in front carrying the Emperor on his back.
Xiao Yunjin seemed to be a professional at digging secret passages. He even knew all the secret passages in the palace. He walked very fast, with an obviously unhappy look on his face.
After many twists and turns, Xiao Yunjin brought people to a dark room. He helped the emperor to the couch and lit the oil lamp on the table. The dark room was small, but it had all the necessary facilities. Before Su Muxi could get a good look at it, Xiao Yunjin grabbed his arm.
"Madam, please help take care of the emperor. I have something to talk to the princess about."
Madam Hou looked at her son, then at Su Muxi, and said hesitantly, "If you have something to say, please tell me slowly."
"Got it," Xiao Yunjin held Su Muxi's arm tightly and signaled her with his eyes to follow him.
Su Muxi gave the Marquis's wife a soothing smile and followed Xiao Yunjin away. Xiao Yunjin was really familiar with the secret passage. While Su Muxi was still remembering the way, Xiao Yunjin pushed open another door.
It was clearly a wall, but Xiao Yunjin pushed it open. Su Muxi didn't even have time to react before she was pressed against the wall. Xiao Yunjin pressed her down, "You are really my good wife. This is your foolproof plan. You came here alone for An Yutang's sake."
Even though Xiao Yunjin was angry, he still took Su Muxi into consideration, so even though Su Muxi was pushed against the wall, her right shoulder did not touch the wall. There was no light in this dark room, only eyes that had adapted to the darkness.
Su Muxi met Xiao Yunjin's deep black eyes and felt uncomfortable for a moment, "Who is your wife?"
Although she couldn't see the other person's expression, she felt like a thorn in her back. Su Muxi pushed the other person with her hand. "Don't come over to control me."
After Xiao Yunjin entered the palace, he lost contact with Su Muxi. He really thought that Su Muxi did as they had agreed, that he would go into the palace to negotiate while she would go to the border defense camp to wait for the signal to attack.
He had just gotten rid of Xiao Yunxiu when he saw Su Muxi, who was in danger. His heart was beating out of his throat. He hadn't recovered yet, and when he heard Su Muxi stabbing him, how could he bear it?
You can't hit or scold him, just shut his mouth.
Su Muxi was stunned by his invitation. Just as she was about to resist, she was suppressed. Xiao Yunjin pressed her left shoulder with one hand to prevent her from moving, and pinched her jaw with the other hand to force her to open her mouth.
Xiao Yunjin conquered cities and territories, exploring Su Muxi's sweetness in order to soothe his troubled heart.
Su Muxi couldn't move. The scorching breath baked her, even depriving her of her breath. The lack of oxygen made her head dizzy, as if Xiao Yunjin was the only one left in the world. Her nostrils could smell his scent, and even her body had his scent.
"Wuwuwu..." Su Muxi felt Xiao Yunjin's emotions in this suffocating kiss. He was afraid and sad.
Su Muxi finally stopped struggling. She leaned softly against the wall, enduring Xiao Yunjin's plundering as if to vent his anger.
She softened, and Xiao Yunjin's heart softened as well. He hugged her with one hand, and changed the hand that was pinching her chin to stroking Su Muxi's injured neck to soothe her emotions.
The two people, who had made many calculations and were very scheming, completely let down their guard in this dark room and immersed themselves in the love at this moment.
Xiao Yunjin finally let go of Su Muxi's lips. In the darkness, he stripped off Su Muxi's clothes, dissolved the ointment with his inner strength, and applied it to Su Muxi's injured neck. At the same time, he leaned on her left shoulder, panting, to calm the emotions in his heart.
Su Muxi let him do what he wanted, but her shoulders and neck were burning, which was unbearable. She had to pull Xiao Yunjin's sleeve and said, "I avoided it. I didn't hurt any vital parts."
Xiao Yunjin didn't want to talk to her, so he bit her left shoulder, felt the muscles under her lips tense, and used his lips and tongue to trace the mark he left.
"My legs are sore," Su Muxi wanted to hide because of the itch, but she couldn't move at all, so she could only show weakness.
They are in danger now, and it is not wise to waste time here.
As soon as she showed weakness, Xiao Yunjin let her go. It wasn't really letting her go, he just straightened her clothes and held her knees with one hand to lift her up.
Su Muxi was picked up by him like a child. She sat on Xiao Yunjin's arms and felt speechless.
"Hold it steady. You are worried about the emperor's safety, but I am not." Xiao Yunjin had seen through Su Muxi's intentions, but he was comforted very well and didn't bother with her. "If you are playing tricks on me, I will take you away and let them fend for themselves here."
Su Muxi held his shoulder with her left hand and stopped talking, which was considered as tacit approval of Xiao Yunjin's behavior. Although this posture was ugly, his right shoulder was indeed not touched at all.
Xiao Yunjin carried Su Muxi back, and knowing that she was uncomfortable, he told her what happened in the palace.
The Queen Mother is the Second Prince's person. Jin Huazun came to the palace and called the Sixth Prince away from the palace. He threw the little prince at the door of Lord Wei. He also told her how He Yuncheng escaped just now and how he went to the Emperor's bedroom to look for someone when he heard the news that Su Muxi had entered the palace.
Su Muxi listened silently, extracting useful information from the news provided by Xiao Yunjin. The Sixth Prince has begun to force the emperor to abdicate. Once He Yuncheng escapes from the city, he will definitely contact the troops stationed outside the capital by Prince Huaiyang.
The two returned to the dark room, and Xiao Yunjin put Su Muxi down at the door so as not to let the marquis's wife see her embarrassment.
Madam Hou looked around at the two of them, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Xiao Yunjin in particular stared at them for a long time.
Xiao Yunjin was annoyed by her staring at him, "If you have something to say, just say it."
The Marquis's wife just wanted to confirm whether he was angry or not, so she shook her head at Xiao Yunjin, indicating that she had nothing to say.
He turned to Su Muxi and said, "The emperor has woken up. I want you to go see him."
Su Muxi smiled at the Marquis's wife soothingly and went to meet the Emperor by the bed.
