Outside Fengtian Gate of the Beichen Kingdom's Imperial Palace, flags were fluttering in the wind, and the guards of honor were strict.
Although it was snowing lightly and the air was filled with a hint of killing intent, the ceremony and music pierced through the sky because of the Crown Prince's coronation ceremony in Mu Yunqi. Everything seemed unusually grand.
However, just as the officials were about to kneel down, the sound of a horse galloping broke the solemnity.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, Ling Yunge almost fell off the horse and stood up with difficulty. She had not slept or rested for several days and stared at Mu Yunqi and Xu Zhen on the high platform in a daze. Her bloodshot eyes seemed to be about to drip blood.
On the high platform, Mu Yunqi was dressed in a four-clawed python robe. He was noble and dignified. After seeing who it was, he was momentarily dazed.
She had actually returned so quickly!
"General Yun, don't you know that today is the Crown Prince's coronation ceremony?”Right Prime Minister Xu Qing sneered as he looked at Ling Yunge, who was covered in blood and in a sorry state.
"Prime Minister Xu is right, this is disrespectful…"
Xu Qing's officials immediately chimed in.
Towards those words of reprimand, Ling Yunge seemed to have turned a deaf ear. Her eyes were only staring intently at Mu Yunqi on the high platform.
Looking at the disheveled Ling Yunge, the Left Prime Minister Xu Cheng frowned slightly. He intentionally spoke up for him." The frontline has just sent back good news. I think General Yun wants to come back personally to report the good news!"”
"Good news?" Ling Yunge felt as if someone was strangling his throat as he spat out two words with difficulty.
Her victory on the battlefield and Mu Yunqi's wish to be crowned as the Crown Prince was indeed a joyous occasion. If only his Crown Princess Xu Zhen wasn't standing beside him at this moment!
The cold wind of November brought with it a thin layer of snow, pouring into Ling Yunge's bloodstained collar. The coldness seeped straight into her heart.
"Mu Yunqi, tell me, why?" she asked with confusion.”
"How dare you call His Highness the Crown Prince by his name!”Xu Zhen, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, looked at Ling Yunge with a smug expression on her charming face.
"Shut up!" Ling Yunge said loudly. His red eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.
Mu Yunqi looked coldly at the woman whom he had made a promise to. His calm eyes revealed a cold light." General Yun, even if you have made a contribution in the war, you will not be allowed to be so impudent!”
It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head, but the anger in his heart surged even more." Mu Yunqi, why is it like this?”
"General Yun, what do you mean by this?”Mu Yunqi frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with Ling Yunge's rudeness.
" Why did you marry her? Mu Yunqi, tell me, it's only been three months…"
"Ling Yunge!" Mu Yunqi coldly interrupted Ling Yunge's words," Zhen 'er is BenGong's Crown Princess Consort. Even if you return victorious, it doesn't mean that you can disrespect her!”
Xu Zhen smiled charmingly and said to Mu Yunqi,"Thank you for your protection, Your Highness!"”At the same time, he secretly gave Ling Yunge a smug look.
Ling Yunge felt a sharp pain in her heart. She looked at the two people standing side by side in front of her and felt extremely sarcastic." Mu Yunqi, have you forgotten your promise?”
Some of the officials who were initially puzzled were enlightened when they heard this. It seemed that the relationship between the Crown Prince and Ling Yunge was not simple! However, didn't Ling Tianming never support the Crown Prince…
On the high platform, the Emperor had come here sick. When he saw this scene, his expression became even uglier." Qi 'er, what's going on? How can such a mess be allowed in the coronation ceremony?!"”
Mu Yunqi's face was cold, but when he spoke, he was calm." Father, I don't know what General Yun is talking about!”
"Mu Yunqi, you bastard!" Furious, Ling Yunge no longer had the time to care about the etiquette between monarch and minister. She had never thought that one day, Mu Yunqi would completely negate the relationship between them for five years with a single sentence.
"How dare you! " Cough, cough…" The Emperor frowned and reprimanded. At the same time, he could not help but cough.
The Right Prime Minister Xu Qing was delighted when he saw this. He quickly said angrily," How dare you sing the song of the clouds! You have offended His Majesty! What punishment do you deserve?!"”
Xu Cheng's eyebrows twitched. He quickly said," Your Majesty, General Yun was also impulsive. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me!"”After saying that, he quickly said to Ling Yunge," General Yun, why aren't you apologizing to the Emperor?”
Looking at Mu Yunqi's cold expression, which was like a stranger, Ling Yunge's eyes hurt. She stiffly looked away and knelt down." I deserve to die. I was impulsive. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"”
After stopping his coughing, the Emperor frowned and looked at Ling Yunge." Ling Yunge, it's a serious offense to lose decorum during a grand ceremony.”
"Emperor, General Yun might be in a hurry to return to report the good news. Today is the Crown Prince's coronation ceremony. I hope that the emperor will consider General Yun's recent achievements and spare her this time.”Xu Cheng lowered his head and said respectfully.
He and General Ling were old friends. If he couldn't protect Ling Yunge now, how could he face General Ling in the future?
The Emperor revealed a hesitant expression. He thought about it and looked at Mu Yunqi with a deeper gaze." I'm tired. Let the Crown Prince handle this matter!”
"Yes, your son will obey." Mu Yunqi replied.
Ling Yunge looked at Mu Yunqi again with a bitter gaze. She wanted to know how Mu Yunqi would deal with her!
Standing on the high platform, he looked at Ling Yunge who was kneeling below and the ministers who were waiting for him to speak.
Mu Yunqi sneered. Without any hesitation, every word was like a sharp blade that pierced into Ling Yunge's heart.
"Ling Yunge, you rashly barged into the palace and violated the etiquette of the ceremony. I'm afraid you have ulterior motives.”
……
In the dark and damp prison, the cold was bone-piercing. It was impossible to tell if the blood on his body was brought back from the battlefield or left behind by the torture of the past two days.
Ling Yunge leaned weakly against the wall. The scene from two days ago was like a ghost, constantly replaying in her mind…
"Your Highness, please. Ling Yunge is right in front!”The jailer's flattering voice sounded. Ling Yunge opened her eyes when she heard the words 'Crown Prince'.
Dressed in a black python robe, with a jade-like face and deep black eyes, he stood with his hands behind his back, exuding unparalleled nobility and majesty.
It had been two days, and he was finally here!
The jailer behind him had already retreated. Mu Yunqi stood at the door of the cell and looked at Ling Yunge, who was covered in whip marks and blood. He frowned for a moment and then returned to his cold demeanor.
Leaning weakly against the wall, Ling Yunge couldn't help but tremble. It was unknown whether her voice was filled with cold anger or bitterness." Mu Yunqi, are you here to explain to me?”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:51AM
