Chapter 507

Ye Luji walked across the centre and the many soldiers of Beirong let out a sigh of relief. They were just about to send people to greet King Dongdan when suddenly an arrow flew from nowhere and pierced Ye Luji’s heart, killing him on the spot.

Ye Luyan immediately shouted, “The Han thieves tricked and deliberately shot King Dongdan! Kill them! We must avenge His Highness!”

When Xie Xuanchen saw Ye Luji getting hit by an arrow, he sighed with emotion, “How ruthless, as expected of a man who does only grand things.”

It’s a pity that the person Ye Luyan was up against was him.

Xie Xuanchen waved his hand suddenly and the army behind him started to shout as they charged with full force as well.

Mu Mingtang didn’t know what was going on recently, but she was always feeling tired and lethargic. She had been feeling groggy all day long and never really had an appet.i.te for food.

The servants were worried. The Prince had gone to the border to escort King Dongdan’s release. Before leaving, he had specifically ordered them to take good care of the Princess. If Her Highness lost even a strand of hair, they were to replace it with their heads off from their shoulders.

So upon seeing Mu Mingtang not eating, the servants were very worried. They thought that the Princess was probably not used to the climate in the Zhending Residence, so they started to cook food from her hometown.

Mu Mingtang also knew that she couldn’t afford to ‘fight’ with her own body. Before Xie Xuanchen left, the two of them had a little quarrel. In fact, it wasn’t so much a fight as it was just tension and awkwardness. After all, it just sprouted from Mu Mingtang’s unilateral reaction. From the start to the end, Xie Xuanchen played no part in it nor did he understand what was going on.

Mu Mingtang also knew that her emotions were unreasonable. There were no signs of Xie Xuanchen taking concubines now as he was constantly running back and forth from the military camp back home. Mu Mingtang knew best how much Xie Xuanchen’s time was stretched thin. Honestly, it was really unreasonable of her to harbour any displeasure towards him based on a hypothetical situation that hadn’t happened.

Mu Mingtang knew about this, but her heart was still clouded with uncertainty. There are many families in the capital with many side wives and concubines. After all, any family without them would actually be criticised and talked about. Mu Mingtang thought she had gotten used to it after so long, but now, after thinking about the fact that it might actually happen to her, she was feeling really anxious.

Beirong had applied pressure on Xie Xuanchen to hand Ye Luji over. Besides, he had to discuss joining forces with General Xu and the others, so there was not a single second to lose. Before leaving, he clearly knew that Mu Mingtang had a tightened knot in her heart, but he couldn’t guess what the crux was, so any other matter must be settled quickly. Back then, all he could do was set aside his problems before bringing his men, along with the captive Ye Luji, to set off.

When Xie Xuanchen left, he was afraid that something might happen back at home, so he had instructed everyone to take good care of the Princess. With Mu Mingtang not wanting to eat anything at this point, the entire residence was getting very nervous.
