Mù Wú Shuāng's mental defense line completely collapsed, she glared fiercely at Yún Luò Fēng, her originally elegant and dignified face now looked extremely distorted.

  "Yun Luo Feng, you will pay for what you did to me today!"

  Yun Luo Feng's smile was like a gentle breeze on a summer day, but it sent shivers down the spine of Mu Wu Shuang, whose face had turned ashen. With a lazy lean against the cold and unyielding man behind her, she cast a sidelong glance at Mu Wu Shuang: "In this world, I'm the only one who gets to outmaneuver myself, no one has ever been able to outsmart me. I'm actually looking forward to you trying to settle accounts with me!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned solemn and she coldly ordered: "Yun Xiao, bind these two people up for me and send them to my parents' graves. The old man of our family has been waiting there for a long time."

  "Good."

  The man's cold gaze withdrew from the absolutely beautiful girl, and he looked at Mu Xingchou and Mu Wushuang with an expressionless face. A cold and fierce killing intent flashed through his deep black eyes.

  "Halt! What are you doing? I am a high-ranking official of the court, and you're just a lowly guard...!"

  Mo Xing was intimidated by the aura emanating from the man, and he felt that this man not only wanted to bind him but also wanted to kill him! As a result, a wave of fear rose in his heart, and his feet involuntarily retreated backward.

  But before he could turn around and escape, the man picked him up like a little chicken in his hand, and his face suddenly turned pale with fright.

  "Let's go."

  Yun Luo looked at the two people being held by Yun Xiao, lazily yawned and turned to walk towards the city gate.

  After those people's figures disappeared, the crowd at the city gate once again erupted into a noisy discussion.

  "It's really 'knowing the person but not their heart'. I never thought that the elegant and refined Miss Mu would be this kind of person! Her sister merely had a crush on the prince, without even thinking of getting him, yet she actually killed her own sister."

  "Didn't you just hear her say that? Previously, Yun Jia's Yun Luofeng was also harassed by a handsome man on the street, which was also designed by her. Tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect Mu Wushuang to be this kind of person. I reckon once this matter gets out, the Crown Prince won't want her either."

  "Not bad, Mu Wushuang is indeed a heartless woman, she doesn't deserve to be the empress!"

  ……

  Outside the city.

  Surrounded by pine trees, two mausoleums stand quietly on the mountain top. On these mausoleums, epitaphs engraved with cinnabar are strikingly eye-catching, as if painted with fresh blood.

  An elderly man with white hair crawled on the ground, his trembling fingers gently stroking the words on the tombstone, and a deep pain revealed in his eyes.

  Yun Shaojiang, a young and outstanding general, with exceptional talent and bravery, was buried on the battlefield, leaving people to lament. His wife, Bai Ling, was also a heroic woman, who fought alongside Yun Shaojiang for their country, and was buried together with him in this place.

  "Maple, your parents' wish before they passed away was to be buried together here after death, far from the hustle and bustle of the world, and also not to be disturbed by the noise of human affairs. Now they can be said to have had their wish fulfilled, in this forest, there is no one who can disturb them."

  Yun Luo slightly closed his eyes, and to this day, he could still recall the heart-wrenching pain of more than ten years ago when he received news from the front lines that Yun Yang and his wife had died in battle.

  The pain in his heart has not yet subsided, but he must replace his son on the battlefield to protect this land and its people.

  In the end, what did he get? The eldest son and daughter-in-law's feud was not avenged, the youngest son was secretly plotted against and lived in a dark room without seeing the light of day! And he, leaving his granddaughter to go to the border for ten years, but always couldn't surpass Empress Mu's whispers in the emperor's ear.
