Outside the palace walls.
The procession of welcoming the bride came in a grand and grand manner.
The team consists of palace guards, eunuchs and maids, and at the end of the team are hundreds of musicians and dancers playing music.
In the center of the procession, a gorgeous carriage decorated with gems and gold threads drove slowly, showing a royal style.
Mu Rongruo, who was dressed in a phoenix crown and harem, was sitting in the carriage with a solemn look on her face and didn't say a word.
Jiang You must have left the Imperial City at this moment!
I only wish him a safe and smooth life and a worry-free life.
And she,
So far in this life, all the youth has been locked in this solemn cage.
Mu Rongruo closed his eyes slightly, a teardrop falling from the corner of his eye.
At this moment, the curtains of Xiche were suddenly opened.
The maid Xiao Ai shouted to her breathlessly: "Girl, something happened at the prime minister's palace! Just after you got on the wedding car, the emperor personally led the imperial army to surround the prime minister's palace! Now the prime minister and his wife have been arrested, And all the guests present today, because they have a close personal relationship with the Prime Minister, have been punished by the Emperor for treason!"
"What on earth is Xiao Yunyuan going to do! I have already agreed to marry him! Why does he want to kill everyone!"
Mu Rongruo pulled off the phoenix crown on his head and took off the wedding dress as well.
"Girl, what should we do now? When I came to report the news, the emperor said that the prime minister and his wife would be executed on the spot!"
There were tears in the corners of Xiao Ai's eyes, and her voice was trembling from crying.
Mu Rongruo looked at the wedding team that was still moving forward, and immediately slapped the body of the wedding car frantically, lifted the curtain and shouted: "Stop! I want to get out!!"
But the gongs and drums were so loud that no one noticed her roar.
Seeing that the wedding carriage was about to enter the palace, Mu Rongruo had no time to think about it. She stood up from the carriage and jumped hard, falling directly to the ground.
The coachman was startled when he saw this and quickly stopped the carriage.
Before the wedding team could react, Mu Rongruo was already being supported by a maid and limping towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"The Queen has run away! The Queen has run away!"
When the people present heard the coachman's shout, they all stopped, and the sound of music also stopped instantly.
The accompanying crowd was in chaos. Some guards were already running to catch up, some stood there at a loss, and some hurried to the palace to report the news.
Murong Ruo saw that he was about to be overtaken by several guards who were coming, and saw someone leading the horse passing by at the corner of the street, so he took off a jewel from his belt, threw it into the hand of the horse leader, and then took it away The opponent's horse left Xiao Ai and rode away alone.
"Girl! Girl!"
Xiao Ai's voice gradually disappeared behind him, and Mu Rongruo ignored it.
Conspiracy is the crime of confiscating the family and destroying the family. At this moment, she just wants to keep one of them.
The palace was not far from the prime minister's residence, and Mu Rongruo arrived at the door of his house in less than a cup of tea.
But when she saw that the big red word "Happy" on the door was stained with blood, her heart almost stopped beating.
Mu Rongruo jumped off his horse, endured the pain in his ankle and quickly pushed open the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The wedding banquet that was originally bustling when he left had turned into a bloody slaughterhouse.
The cheerful joy was still echoing in his ears, but the silence in the house at this moment was frighteningly oppressive.
The corpses all over the yard were dragged away one by one by the imperial guards.
The bluestone bricks she had walked through countless times over the years had already been stained red with blood, which was shocking.
"Dad? Mom!!!"
Mu Rongruo looked around for her father and mother, but there were corpses everywhere on the ground, and she couldn't find them at all.
"A Ruo..."
Xiao Yunyuan appeared in front of Mu Rongruo with a surprised look on his face.
He also held a sword in his hand, with blood stains on it.
Not only that, his face and body were stained with blood. I really don’t know how many people he had killed with his own hands just now!
"Where's my father? And my mother? What did you do to them!"
Mu Rongruo rushed forward like crazy and beat Xiao Yunyuan's body, but no matter how strong she was, she was only a weak woman, so how could she hurt him at all.
"A Ruo..."
Xiao Yunyuan held Mu Rongruo's hands tightly and pulled her into his arms.
"Aruo, listen to me. You will be my queen from now on, and there will be no obstacles between us! I can give you anything, as long as you don't leave me!"
His words were more like compensation than an oath, and Mu Rongruo's heart felt cold to the bone.
"Xiao Yunyuan! Let me ask you where is my father and my mother! What did you do to them!!!"
Mu Rongruo didn't struggle, she had already foreseen the result.
It's just that she still wants to hold on to a glimmer of hope. Maybe he can take care of their childhood friendship and let her parents go.
"The murder of the late emperor should implicate the nine tribes. I have executed them on the spot!"
After saying this, Xiao Yunyuan hugged her tighter, as if he was afraid of losing her at any time.
"You killed them...you killed them..."
Mu Rongruo's tears burst down, and she cried: "You clearly promised me that as long as I was willing to marry you, you would not touch them! Xiao Yunyuan, you lied to me, you are the murderer of your father and brother! You In order to secure the throne, you killed so many innocent courtiers in vain, you are so cruel!"
"They have always had second thoughts about me. If they don't die, how can I sit on the throne safely?"
Xiao Yunyuan defended himself, although he knew it was useless.
"Hehe...hehehe...I'm going to kill you...Xiao Yunyuan...I'm going to kill you!"
Mu Rongruo felt as if her heart was filled with despair, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, soaking Xiao Yunyuan's robe even brighter red.
At this moment, a handsome face suddenly appeared in her mind, wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and a handsome young man.
Jiang You, where are you? Take me away quickly!
Mu Rongruo's vision turned dark and he fainted.
