Chapter Eighty-Three: Breaking Off the Engagement

  "Green Boundary! The young master is actually a Green Boundary expert!"

  "My god! I used to scold him behind his back for being a good-for-nothing. At 15, Qingyu was a good-for-nothing, what are we?!"

  "Not even a single hair of waste is needed!"

  "A three-foot sword at your waist, does your noble family know or not?"

  "What's going on? Speak clearly!"

  "Is your family aware of how awesome you are?!"

  “……”

  "The imperial edict has arrived!"

  The imperial edict that Han Sheng had been expecting as a lifesaver finally arrived, but it was of no use. He had already turned into a lump of minced meat and could neither hear nor see anything.

  "The imperial edict has arrived!" The Imperial Guards holding the imperial edict rushed over, and after finally squeezing into the crowd, they couldn't see any sign of Han Sheng.

  He looked around and muttered: "Where is everybody?"

  Mu Qingge, who had already sheathed his sharp edges, stood with his hands behind his back in front of Mu Xiong's horse, watching the movements of the Imperial Forest Army with a hint of mocking cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

  "Your Highness!" The Eastern Palace guard, who had been sent by Qin Jingyu to fetch reinforcements, also returned at this moment and hastily reported back to his master.

  However, what he saw was a frightened and trembling Prince of Qin.

  The imperial forest army left and right did not see anyone, frowned and looked at Mu Xiong, asking: "Old Master, dare to ask where is the Korean uncle?"

  Mù Xióng's face was calm and solemn, his tightly pursed lips seeming to have no intention of opening.

  Mu Qing stood in front, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened, and he pointed to the flesh and blood around him: "The Korean uncle is right here, can't this general see?"

  The general of the Imperial Forest Army was stunned for a moment before finally seeing what Mu Qing Ge was pointing at.

  The scattered and blurry flesh and blood, as well as the expensive silk robe fragments, made him have a terrifying guess. His pupils suddenly contracted, his face changed abruptly, and he asked sternly: "Mu Xiao Jue, what did you do to your Korean uncle?"

  Mu Qing smiled coldly, her eyes gleaming with a fierce light, and said fearlessly: "Hanguo's uncle has guilt in his heart and does not dare to live in the world, so he naturally went to accompany me to die in the city of Ye, along with the tens of thousands of Mu family soldiers."

  "You! Kill him!" The General of the Imperial Guard widened his eyes instantly. As soon as he finished speaking, a team of Imperial Guards behind him suddenly drew their waist knives and pointed them at Mu Qingge.

  This move thoroughly irritated the silent Mu family army.

  The fifty thousand troops all drew out their steel blades and pointed them at the Imperial Guards.

  Mu Qingge's five hundred personal guards quickly gathered around him, standing on either side of him with expressionless faces as they gazed at the Imperial Forest Army.

  "Kill Han Sheng!"

  "Han Sheng's death alone is not enough to calm the people's anger!"

  "Well done, young master!"

  "Little Lord, we support you!"

  The voices of support rising and falling around them gradually came together. They spontaneously stood in front of Mu Qing Ge, glaring at the Imperial Guards rushing from the palace.

  The Imperial Guards were also stunned on the spot, not daring to make any drastic moves. The leading general was tense all over, as if facing a great enemy. And those Imperial Guards who drew their swords, the handles of the knives in their hands also trembled slightly, wanting to withdraw.

  The general leading the Imperial Forest Army was shocked in his heart: When did the useless young master of the Mu Estate obtain such terrifying popularity?!

  Such scenes shocked many people.

  There is Mu Xiong and Mu Qing Ge. There is Qin Yi Yao who is in the Mu Jia army, and there is also Rui Wang Qin Zhen Huan who has not yet woken up from the blow of Mu Qing Ge being a master of the Green Boundary.

  There was also Crown Prince Qin Jinyu who had just been frightened by the bloody scene and his soul was about to leave his body.

  What he feared was not Mu Qing's sudden possession of the people's hearts. What he worried about was that when Mu Qing found out who was behind this, the scattered flesh and blood would be his future appearance.

  "Kill him! Kill him!" Suddenly, Prince Qin Jin Xiu was like waking up from a big dream, shrinking back while pointing at Mu Qing Ge and shouting.

  Mo Qingge turned her gaze towards him, with a hint of mockery and killing intent visible in the depths of her clear eyes.

  "Who dares!" Mu Xiong finally erupted from his silence.

  He glared with his tiger eyes, and the aura of killing on him spread out, instantly stunning the entire scene. Even Qin Jinyu didn't dare to make another sound.

  The general of the Imperial Forest Army frowned at all this, feeling a great deal of headache.

  If he had known that this matter would be so troublesome, he would have avoided it early on. But now, even if he wanted to withdraw, the imperial edict in his hand left him no room for retreat.

  With a resolute expression, the general of the Imperial Guard clasped his fists and said to Mu Xiong: "Today's matter has already exceeded my jurisdiction. The imperial edict in my hand is the one that summoned the Duke of Korea to enter the palace. Now that the Duke of Korea is dead, I'm afraid we'll have to ask Young Master to accompany me into the palace for an explanation to His Majesty."

  Mu Qingge coldly smiled and remained silent.

  The majestic tiger-like general swept his cold gaze over the Imperial Forest Army: "I will explain to His Majesty myself, you go back and inform him that what Qing Ge did today was under my orders. If the welcoming banquet prepared by Your Majesty has not been cancelled, when the time comes, my grandson and I will arrive punctually."

  After that, he didn't care whether the general of the Imperial Forest Army responded or not, and directly said to Mu Qingge: "Qingge, get on your horse, let's go home."

  Mu Qingge's mouth curved into a faint smile as he turned and mounted his horse. Mu Xiong led the Mu family members and the Mu family army towards the Mu residence. Meanwhile, Qin Yiyao and Mo Yang had already quietly escorted her back to the Chang Le Gong Zhu's residence under Mu Qingge's subtle hint, accompanied by several people.

  The imperial forest army had no choice but to release them and let them leave.

  As he was worried about how to return and report, he saw Rui Wang Qin Jihuang, and hastily approached him, saying: "Rui Wang has been here all along, presumably understanding the course of events. Please follow me back to the palace and tell the Emperor."

  Qin Jinhao's face was tense, he found himself seemingly mistaken about something.

  How could Mu Qingge be hiding so deeply?

  He took a glance at the crown prince surrounded by fear and his eyes flashed, he nodded in agreement to the request of the General of the Imperial Forest Army.

  ……

  Returning to Mu Fu, under the care of You He and Hua Yue, Mu Qing Ge cleaned up and changed into a clean red robe, heading to Mu Xiong's study.

  And what happened at the city gate also spread out at an extremely fast speed.

  For a time, the streets and alleys all knew about Mu Qingge's furious killing of Guo Shu Ye. Her appearance at that time was depicted as even more exaggerated, attracting countless people's praise and worship.

  But what's most intriguing is how she suddenly transformed from a useless person into a master of Green Boundary.

  To know the whole Qin country, although there are many green boundaries, but under the same age, she is the only one. It's simply a super genius, an absolute top-notch demon!

  This news spread even with the wind and entered the inner courtyard of Mu Fu.

  When Bai Suoyue learned of this news from Lü Qingxia, she smashed the flower vase in her room and looked gloomy and terrified.

  "How could Mu Qingge be the Green Realm?" Bai Xueyue refused to believe.

  If he is the Green Realm, then what is the extraordinary talent she has been hiding all along? Her worries about the Mu Estate coveting her talent and forcing her to marry Mu Qing Ge are simply a joke.

  With Mu Qing's talent and status, many girls in Qin State were willing to surrender themselves.

  "Mu Fu, Mu Qing Ge, you two have fooled me so thoroughly, hiding it from me so deeply!" Bai Tuyue gritted her teeth and said.

  In Muxiong's study, Muxiong had already taken off his armor and sat behind the desk. Mulianrong poured him tea, standing beside him with a cold expression.

  Suddenly, the study door was pushed open.

  Mu Qingge walked in with light steps.

  She entered the study and casually found a chair to sit down, without showing any signs of worry.

  Mu Lianrong looked at her with a cloud-like and wind-light appearance, furrowed her brow, and used words to pierce her: "You this troublemaker, now killing the royal relatives in public, do you know what crime it is?"

  Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Did I kill a royal relative? I only killed a deserter on the battlefield."

  A casual explanation made Mu Lianrong angry. She turned to her father with some annoyance and scolded: "Father, you don't even manage this kid, letting him do as he pleases."

  She admitted that killing Han Sheng was a relief. However, this would bring trouble to Mu Qingge.

  This little scoundrel not only killed Han Sheng, but also exposed his own strength, and it's unknown what kind of suspicion the one in the palace will harbor.

  Miao Xiong held a teacup in his hand and was silent for a moment before saying, "Han Sheng, you did well to kill him."

  Mu Lianrong was amused and couldn't help but ask, "What's next? Are we going to tie up Qing Ge and bring her into the palace to calm down that person? And what about the Empress? Qing Ge killed her own brother, who knows how angry she'll be, and how will we deal with Qing Ge behind her back." The more she spoke, the more worried she became, truly wishing she could hide Mu Qingge in her arms and protect her personally.

  Mù Xióng raised his eyes, and calmly looked at Mù Qīng Gē, asking: "Qīng Gē, what do you plan to do?" After experiencing the events in Yì City, he had already changed his opinion of his grandson. He thought that Mù Qīng Gē wouldn't act without a well-thought-out plan. In any case, he wanted to hear his grandson's thoughts first.

  The named Mu Qing smiled and raised his eyes to look at Grandfather and Aunt: "Why not, take this opportunity to dissolve my marriage with Princess Chang Le."

  "What did you say?" Mu Lianrong reacted fiercely.

  Chang Le Gong Zhu is a royal family member, but after getting to know her, she's not bad. How could this stinky brat push away his wife who others can't even get?

  Mù Xióng also furrowed his brow in confusion: "Why?" Princess Cháng Lè was willing to take risks and accompany her grandson to Yì City, and this old man had seen the deep affection between them. How could his own grandson be so indifferent?

  It's hard... He still misses Rui Wang...

  At this thought, Mu Xiong's face suddenly turned ugly.

  As soon as Mu Qing saw Mu Xiong's face, she understood that he had misunderstood. She quickly said: "I broke off the engagement for the princess's sake, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

  "What does this mean? Isn't marrying into our Mu Manor a humiliation for Princess Chang Le? Besides, I think the princess has deep feelings for you." Mu Xiong frowned.

  Mu Lianrong looked at her father with a puzzled expression.

  Then, Miao Xiong simply told Mu Qing Ge about Qin Yi Yao following him to Ya Cheng, which immediately moved Mu Lian Rong to tears.

  She bluntly said to Mu Qing: "You little scoundrel, the princess has deep feelings for you. If you dare to betray her, I won't forgive you!"

  The increasingly dark scene made Mu Qing sigh and spread her hands, saying: "That's right, that's why I must cancel the engagement with her." In Yicheng, she had already sensed Qin Yiyao's thoughts about her.

  If she were truly a man, Qin Yiyao as his wife, he wouldn't dislike it.

  But she is a genuine daughter of the family, how can he marry Qin Yiyao? If he really marries her, it would be ruining her for life.

  "Speak clearly." Mu Xiong's sword-like eyebrows were already knotted into a knot.

  Mu Lianrong was also staring at her with a fierce gaze, as if she were the number one heartless person in the world.

  The two people's confrontation made Mu Qingge sigh again and again in her heart. Finally, she made up her mind, stood up from the chair, raised her hand to remove the purple earring on her left ear.

  Suddenly, a strange scene unfolded before Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong.

  Her originally sharp facial features softened. Her stunning face looked more refined, with a hint of elegance between her eyebrows, yet added a few touches of charm. The exposed Adam's apple gradually disappeared, and the original place became smooth and clean. Her slender figure was even more delicate and slender, and from any angle, it was a perfect curve.

  "Th...th...th..." Mu Xiong was tongue-tied and his eyes widened in shock.

  Mu Lianrong also stared blankly at Mu Qingge, who was transforming into a living person before their eyes.

  Bang!

  Mu Xiong stood up fiercely, pointing at Mu Qingge, and couldn't speak for a long time. Who could tell him how his good son had turned into a granddaughter?

  Seeing the shocked expressions of Grandfather and Aunt, Mu Qingge shrugged and sighed: "As you see, I am a woman. What's wrong with a woman marrying a wife and having children?"

  Mo Xiong's legs went soft and he fell into his chair, this stimulation was too great, he needed to digest it carefully.

  It's not that he values boys over girls, but after raising his granddaughter as a boy for 15 years, it's hard for him to accept the fact that she is actually a girl. For these 15 years, he has been treating his granddaughter like a grandson!

  Similarly unbearable Mu Lianrong looked at Mu Qingge's eyes and found it hard to express.

  She couldn't have imagined that the little rascal she had been scolding all day, calling him a 'stinky little boy', was actually her daughter, and yet she had been looking forward to her getting married and having children to carry on the Mu family line.

  A sense of being fooled swept over her mind, causing her to blurt out: "You little rascal, what's going on here?"

  Mo Qingge pouted her mouth, wasn't she also very innocent?

  At this point, he immediately gave Mu Qing's true explanation of her song at the beginning, and repeated it to the two members of the Mu family again.

  Perhaps her mysterious mother, in order to consolidate the Mu family's position, had no choice but to disguise her as a man. Or perhaps they had originally thought that after giving birth to another son, they could find an excuse to swap identities and let her return to being a daughter.

  However, plans did not catch up with changes. Mu Furong's father, Mu Liancheng, died in battle, leading to the failure of subsequent plans.

  Mother disappeared after going to find father's body and has been unknown whether she is alive or dead until now.

  She can only live on as the sole heir of the Mu Manor and the young master.

  Suddenly, Mu Qing felt a little relieved. Fortunately, the previous Mu Qing did not stupidly run to reveal her true identity to Qin Jinhuai, otherwise it would have brought her countless troubles.

  After listening to Mu Qing's words, Mu Xiong was speechless for a long time, and his eyes, which were filled with vicissitudes of life, were dotted with tears.

  Mu Lianrong also fell silent.

  No matter what decision is made, it's all for the Mu family, but the one who suffers is only Mu Qingge, a 15-year-old child.

  After a long time, Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong both accepted that Mu Qingge was their daughter.

  They watched as Mu Qing wore the purple earrings again, transforming from a stunning girl to a charming young man, and they all felt amazed.

  Muxiong sighed and said: "I don't even know what kind of background this daughter-in-law of mine has, yet she actually has such a precious treasure."

  "Looking at Eldest Sister's demeanor and appearance, they are not something that an ordinary family can cultivate. She just doesn't want to say, so we won't ask too much." Mu Lianrong also nodded in agreement.

  Suddenly, Mu Xiong's eyes flashed, and he solemnly said to Mu Qing Ge: "Qing Ge, your identity must be kept secret, it cannot be revealed casually."

  If the imperial palace finds out about this, they can directly charge the Mu family with deceiving the emperor.

  He is not greedy for power, but if he loses it, it will be the time of the extinction of the Mu family. The people in the palace have been slow to take action against his family, isn't it because they are afraid of the little power in his hands?

  Mù Qīng Gē understood and nodded. As a woman, she wouldn't go around proclaiming it everywhere, no need for Mù Xióng to remind her specially.

  "So this time, I killed Han Sheng, the Emperor's side will definitely want to vent their anger. Let him cancel the engagement, I don't think he's too happy about taking me as his son-in-law anyway. After he cancels my marriage with Chang Le, Grandfather can take the initiative to punish me by sending me to Ruo City, and I won't be able to return until the coronation ceremony." Mu Qing Ge said out her plan in her heart. Anyway, she saw that the Emperor liked to punish people by making them stay indoors, Han Sheng's crime was only punished with a fine, and he wasn't allowed to go out for a year. Now, she herself was exiled to the remote and desolate border land, what else could this little Emperor say?

  Is he daring enough to kill her when the Mu family's power is at its peak?

  "Are you going to Yicheng?" Mu Xiong asked in surprise.

  Her eyes sparkled as she spoke, a cold glint flashing in the depths of her clear gaze: "I revealed my true strength today, and if I continue to stay in Luodu, I'll only face endless tests and assassination attempts. My priority now is to improve my strength; I don't have time for idle games with them. The city of Yi is a good place, it's our Mu family's fiefdom, and we have the Mu family army, so there's no need to worry about safety issues. It's just right for me to focus on cultivation for a while. I'll leave now; as long as Grandfather stays low-key for this period of time, the Mu family can fade from view. The struggle between the Crown Prince and Rui Wang won't involve our family, and by next year when I return for my coming-of-age ceremony, everything should have settled down."

  "What do you want to do, Song Er?" Mu Xiong asked with a frown. He didn't think his granddaughter was the evasive type at all.

  Being stared at by the old fox's tiger eyes, Mu Qingge had to say out another plan in his heart: "Grandfather should know that retreat is a way to advance. This time in Yu City, it's clear that someone wants the Mu family to perish. But even if we clearly know who it is, it's hard to take action against him. Because our Mu family values loyalty and righteousness. So why not retreat for now and let them bite each other for a while? There are still ten months until the coronation ceremony, which will be our Mu family's dormant period. When I return, it will be the time for our Mu family to collect debts."

  Miao Xiong was shocked to hear this, and the murderous intent that leaked out of Miao Qing's words left him stunned. He said in a deep voice: "Qing'er, you must not act rashly. Our Miao family will never be treacherous officials or traitors."

  "Father, can't you see through it by now?" Mu Lianrong frowned.

  Mù Xióng's eyes twitched, and he sighed: "I just don't want the world to be in chaos, bringing Qin Guo into the flames of war."

  "Grandfather, rest assured." Mu Qingge raised the corner of her mouth, and her eyes narrowed into a smile with a hint of coldness: "The emperor of Qin country still has the surname Qin, but who can sit on it depends on what our Mu family says. We are not rebelling against the ruler, but rather clearing away evil from the imperial court!"

  Purge the inner court!

  Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong couldn't help but take a sharp breath in unison.

  They were shocked by Mu Qing's thoughts, even more shocked by her boldness.

  After a long silence, Mu Xiong finally looked at Mu Qing Ge and said: "Qing Ge, Grandfather has agreed to let you go to Yi City. But you also have to promise Grandfather, if you're not confident, don't act rashly. Also, don't harm innocent people or the common folk."

  "Grandpa, don't worry." Mu Xiong's compromise made Mu Qing Ge's mouth corners rise even higher.

  However, the light in his eyes was icy cold.

  Those who owe her debts will pay them back in this life or the next!

  ……

  After discussing a good strategy, Mu Qingge and Mu Xiong entered the palace together. Meanwhile, Mu Lianrong secretly prepared for Mu Qingge's trip to Yi City. What kind of place Yi City was, she was very clear about it. Her precious niece would be staying there for so long, so she naturally wanted to make good preparations.

  In the imperial palace, what awaited Mu Xiong and Mu Qing Ge was not a celebratory feast for their victory, but a solemn trial in the grand hall.

  Mocheng Ge was still entering this kind of grand hall for the first time.

  In the palace, there were no civil and military officials.

  Apart from the gloomy emperor, there were also the tearful Empress Han, the Crown Prince and Rui Wang. Of course, there was also the general of the Imperial Guard who had previously delivered the imperial edict.

  It seems that Emperor Qin Cang does not intend to make this matter public.

  Seeing this array, Mu Qingge had already understood Qin Huang's plan. Also, if it was to be a public trial, Han Sheng's punishment would indeed be unjustifiable.

  Qin Huang was also a shrewd person, since Han Sheng had already died, he naturally did not want to bear the infamy of being an accessory.

  "Murdering royalty in broad daylight, don't you know that's a crime?" Qin Cang gave him a severe warning.

  "Your Majesty, Mu Qing Ge only sought justice for the Mu family soldiers who died in Yi City."

  "Korean Sheng's dereliction of duty has already been dealt with by me. Even if you were dissatisfied, you should have come to me to discuss it. But instead, you slaughtered him in the streets, completely disregarding the law and putting me in a difficult position."

  Qin Cang was shocked. He had just found out that Mu Qingge was not only not a waste, but also an extraordinary genius. The 15-year-old Green Boundary, if spread out, would shock the surrounding neighboring countries.

  He wanted to kill her, but he couldn't.

  This time, the Mu family army suffered heavy losses, and Mu Xiong was already holding back his anger. If he were to dispose of his precious grandson again, wouldn't that be forcing Mu Xiong to rebel?

  One Mu Xiong may not be feared, but there are still several hundred thousand Mu Family Army troops deployed.

  Once Qin is in chaos, the neighboring countries will be eyeing it covetously and can directly tear it apart.

  So he, the emperor of Qin, could only endure it with a humble heart.

  Hmph! It's all the Queen's doing!

  Not only did he fail to kill Mu Xiong, but also stirred up so much trouble.

  Facing Qin Huang's inquiry, Mu Qingge smiled and said: "I was originally a spoiled child, where did I understand what law? I just heard the people around me shouting to kill Han Sheng, so I killed him."

  Her words were spoken lightly, but they drew a poisonous gaze from the empress. The hatred in her eyes was like poison, seeking to take Mu Qing's life.

  But would Mu Qing Ge care?

  She's not afraid of real poison, what can she be afraid of with these few glances?

  Staring, keep staring. She just likes this kind of look that clearly hates her to death, but can't do anything about it, and can only die from anger.

  She doesn't care if Queen Han gets so angry she bursts a blood vessel.

  In the eyes of Queen Han, filled with hatred and resentment, Mu Qingge's mouth corners rose again.

  Such a contemptuous attitude almost choked Han Huanghou with the handkerchief in her hand.

  "Your Majesty, you must do justice for Han Sheng! Even if he deserves to die, it should be by imperial decree. What is the meaning of being killed in the street like this? And what about my family's reputation?" The empress wept and pleaded.

  The Crown Prince Qin Jinxiu has recovered a bit at this moment, standing beside the Empress Dowager, also looking at Mu Qingge with venomous eyes. On the other hand, Rui Wang Qin Jinhuan was unusually silent, and it's unknown what he was thinking about.

  The Han Empress's lament made Qin furrow his brow, and his gaze towards Mu Qingge became even more unfavourable.

  At this time, Mu Xiong spoke up: "Your Majesty, this time, Song Er was a bit young and impulsive. But the blood of the tens of thousands of soldiers in my Mu family army cannot be shed in vain. Han Sheng must die to appease the hearts of the soldiers. Now, Song Er has simply sent him on his way ahead of time. Although it was a bit rash and didn't take into account Your Majesty's feelings, it also calmed the people's hearts and made them grateful to Your Majesty."

  Gratitude? Screw gratitude! Without your loud propaganda, what would those common people know?

  Qin Cang was furious and wanted to curse loudly, but he had to endure it silently.

  The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the queen had made a wrong move. He didn't even bother to look at her.

  The Empress Han's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Qin Cang's face, and her heart skipped a beat. She knew that the Emperor was looking for a scapegoat again, so she fell silent and dared not speak further.

  "Qin Cang's deep voice was filled with difficulty as he said, 'Mu Ai Qing, although what you say is true. However, Mu Qing Ge's actions are indeed too reckless and presumptuous. If we don't severely punish him, who knows how many others will follow his example? What would I do then?"

  Murong Chui lowered his head and replied submissively: "Yes, Your Majesty."

  Huh?

  Mu Xiong's reaction made Qin Cang stunned. It seemed that he hadn't figured out how Mu Xiong had become so easy to talk to. He actually understood the punishment so deeply and justly?

  So, he followed Mu Xiong's words and said: "Then, according to you, how should I punish him?" As soon as the words came out, Qin Cang regretted it. How could he have handed over the initiative to Mu Xiong like this?

  Mu Xiong's mouth corners then drew a traceless smile.

  More and more fond of his beloved grandson... No, it's his beloved granddaughter. She actually opened her mouth according to the routine that Mu Qingge had agreed upon beforehand, and unexpectedly led the Emperor to hand over the initiative.

  His granddaughter is not only incredibly talented but also has an IQ that's simply monstrous!

  "He then said in a loud voice: 'Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting your old minister.'"

  As soon as this was said, Qin Cang thought of backing down, but it was too late. He could only grit his teeth and ask: "Hmm, you go ahead and say."

  Mu Xiong raised his eyes, glanced at Qin Cang, and then lowered his head: "Song Er is unruly and cannot be carved. Firstly, I think that in order to guarantee the reputation of the imperial family and avoid this little boy's future behavior from tarnishing the imperial family, Your Majesty should cancel the marriage contract previously granted to the Mu family. Princess Chang Le has exceptional talent and excellent virtues, she deserves a better husband than my son, who is just a piece of rotten wood."

  Call off the engagement?!

  These words finally moved Qin Jinhao, who had been silent.

  If the engagement is cancelled, wouldn't his only connection to the Mu family be severed? Now, with Chang Le and Mu Qing Ge's relationship, they should be very close, so why would the Mu family suddenly propose to dissolve the engagement?

  Qin Jinghao's eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at Mu Qingge standing beside Mu Xiong, seemingly wanting to find out the truth from her.

  Qin Cang did not know that Qin Yi Yao had followed Mu Qing Ge to Ya Cheng. He had agreed to this marriage reluctantly from the start. The imperial edict granting the marriage was mainly due to the Empress Dowager's face.

  In his heart, Chang Le was such an excellent daughter, with a greater role to play, rather than marrying a prodigal son. According to the Empress Dowager's gentle approach, resolve the Mu family affair.

  So, Mu Xiong's proposal was right up his alley, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

  "Mu Ai Qing, have you thought it through? A granddaughter-in-law like Yao'er is not easy to come by!" Qin Cang had already made up his mind, but he still wanted to test Mu Xiong a bit more.

  Mu Xiong's face showed hesitation, and he didn't say a word.

  Scared Qin Cang almost didn't hurry up and issue an edict agreeing to divorce.

  Fortunately, Mu Xiong hesitated and then reluctantly said: "Song Er is not worthy of Princess Chang Le, please Your Majesty issue an edict."

  After hearing this sentence, Qin Cang's hanging heart finally fell. Looking at Mu Qingge again, it seemed a bit more pleasing to the eye.

  He revealed a difficult expression and said, "Alright, since you insist, I can only issue an edict." After speaking, he looked at Mu Xiong again, waiting for his next words.

  "Thank you, Your Majesty. I feel that simply annulling the engagement is not enough punishment. Over the years, I have been remiss in my duties as a parent and allowed this young lady to run wild in Luoyang, flaunting her wealth and status. This unruly child, I am at my wit's end with her, so it would be best to send her to Yicheng, out of sight, out of mind. I implore Your Majesty to sentence Mu Qingge to house arrest in Yicheng until she comes of age, only then can she return to Luoyang."

  This proposal made Qin's eyes flash and she fell into contemplation.

  At the same time, several others on the platform also moved in their hearts.

  Murong Qingge stayed in Luodu, with Murong Xiong there, they didn't dare to make a move. But if he left Luodu and something happened on the road, Murong Xiong couldn't blame them.

  No one opposed Mu Xiong's proposal under the silent consideration of each other.

  Qin Cang hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.

  The matter of Han Sheng has come to an end.

  The emperor got benefits and it's not good to blame Mu Qingge again.

  Those who were dissatisfied with the situation were only Empress Han and the Crown Prince.

  Mù Qīng Gē left the imperial palace with two sacred edicts and parted ways with Mù Xióng at the palace gate. The latter was going to the military camp of the Mù family army outside the city to settle the generals from Yì City. These people would return together with Mù Qīng Gē.

  The welcoming banquet was also postponed to three days later due to Han Sheng's matter.

  Only three days later, Mu Qingge was already on her way to Yaicheng, and the various undercurrents in Luodu could no longer affect her.

  "Stop and listen to the music."

  Just as Mu Qingge was about to return to the manor, she was suddenly stopped by Rui Wang Qin Jinhao.

  She turned around, raised an eyebrow and said: "What instructions does King Rui have?"

  Qin Jinghao revealed a charming smile, walked over and said to Mu Qingge: "Qingge's physique can't cultivate, but now it has become a Green Boundary expert, this king is really surprised."

  "Are you talking about this matter?" Mu Qingge smiled with a hint of playfulness: "This is nothing unusual, do you still remember the wise king of Sheng Wang Temple? I can cultivate, but it's all thanks to him." Continuing to let Mr. Yao be the scapegoat, Mu Qingge didn't have any sense of guilt.

  Qin Jing's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "So that's how it is. It seems that Qing Ge has obtained great luck. However, my imperial sister has deep feelings for you, and dissolving the engagement like this, I don't know how heartbroken she will be when she finds out."

  "The princess has the beauty of a heavenly being, and it's really a pity to be paired with me. Please inform the wise king that I'm not a good match for her, and I hope she'll find happiness in the future." Mu Qing Ge said.

  "Oh? Chang Le isn't your good match, then does Qing Ge have someone she secretly admires in her heart?" Qin Jin's eyes sparkled with a hint of urgency.

  Mo Qing sang a song and was delighted. What did this man expect her to say?

  It's impossible, isn't it, for her to say something like 'the one I've had a crush on is actually you'?

  Mo Qing smiled slightly and said calmly: "No."

  Qin Jinhao's smile on his face stiffened, and the luster in his eyes turned cold.

  "If nothing else happens with Rui Wang, I'll take my leave." Mu Qing Ge said, then turned around and left without any hesitation.

  As he watched her leave, Qin Jinghao's face turned cold. He whispered: "Mu Qingge, do you still want to play hard to get?" He never believed that Mu Qingge's attitude towards him would completely change.

  Those affectionate gazes in the past were not fake.

  He firmly believed that Mu Qing's current posture was definitely put on in order to pique his interest.

  Qin Jinghao sneered in his heart: If you were a woman, there might be a chance to spark my interest. But you're a man, and yet you dare to have designs on me? You're bound to live a life of tragedy.

  Mù Qīng Gē didn't know that Qín Jǐn Huáng's imagination was so powerful, if she had known, she would have probably said: "Lucky to have no white blade driving forward, why use one's own body to sacrifice oneself."

  What does it mean?

  Well, it means: 'If you don't seek death, you won't die, why can't you understand.'

  ……

  The East Palace, let everyone withdraw, leaving only Empress Han and Crown Prince Qin Jiyu.

  The Empress Han had dried her tears, and her expression no longer had the dignity of the past, leaving only a gloomy look.

  Qin Jinxiu was no better off either.

  With no outsiders present, he had already shed his warm and elegant disguise, revealing his violent and cold true face. He suddenly punched a fist, his five senses twisted to look at his own mother, unwillingly asking: "Mother, are we just going to let him off like this?"

  The Empress Han glared at him and coldly sneered: "Do you think I will let the person who killed my brother go just like that?"

  Qin Jin's eyes lit up and she eagerly asked: "Empress Dowager, have you made any arrangements?"

  The Empress of Han slightly raised the corner of her lips, and her eyes were filled with cold murderous intent: "He wants to go to Yì City, doesn't he? Along this road, I will naturally take good care of him."

  "That's right!" Qin Jinxiu excitedly clapped his hands. "He has a fate to leave Luodu, but it's unknown whether he has a fate to arrive at Yicheng."

  After finishing speaking, his eyes revealed some reluctance again, and he murmured: "It's just a pity..."

  "What a pity?" The Han Empress said coldly: "Mu Qingge must die! This palace has already sent word back to the Han family, and I believe that the family will make proper arrangements. Besides, do you really think that the only ones who want Mu Qingge's life are us?"

  Qin Jinxiu pursed her lips, concealing her thoughts.

  Fortunately, Queen Heon did not notice his strangeness and was only trapped in hatred.

  "Could it be that Father Emperor will also take action?" Qin Jinxiu asked.

  The Empress Han gave him a cold glance, her smile tinged with chill: "What do you say? Your father the Emperor is not exactly a benevolent man. I'm afraid it's not just your father who will take action, even that woman Jiang might not be able to hold back, and perhaps even the Dowager Empress may make a move."

  "Empress Dowager?!" Qin Jinyu exclaimed in surprise.

  The Empress Dowager said, "You child is still too naive, really thinking that the Empress Dowager dotes on Mu Qingge? In the beginning, the Empress Dowager let your father, the Emperor, bestow a marriage, in order to control the Mu family with a gentle hand. But now, Mu Qingge has refused the marriage, and the old lady might be furious, and simply send someone to kill him off. I'd like to see how Mu Qingge can safely return to Yicheng amidst all these dangers."
