Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

Chapter 187 Chaos is coming

Concubine Rou was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "How do you know that we will definitely lose? Don't you trust mother so much?"

Ruan Haoyu held Concubine Rou's hand and said slowly, "Mother, it's not that I don't trust you, but the position of the king involves too many things. Even if you take the throne today, there are troubles at home and powerful enemies outside. This position is not so easy to sit on. Why don't you find a beautiful place where your son can honor you well? Isn't it good for us mother and son to stay away from the disputes in the court and live our peaceful lives?"

Concubine Rou also suppressed her anger and said, "Yu'er, I am unwilling to accept this. I have been training you in both civil and military strategies since you were young, hoping that you will reach the top one day. Only then will I be worthy of our ancestors. As a child of the royal family, this is the responsibility you need to bear."

The mother and son talked for several rounds, but neither could convince the other, and finally parted unhappily. However, Concubine Rou never told Ruan Haoyu that Concubine Yao was in her hands.

Now when Ruan Haoyu heard Mu Xiaoqiao say that he had seen Imperial Concubine Yao and that she was wearing a Murray bracelet on her hand, he could not help but be extremely surprised, "Who is this Imperial Concubine Yao, and how did she get the Murray bracelet on her hand?"

Mu Xiaoqiao shook her head. "Time is too tight. I don't have time to ask. Now we can only find a way to rescue her and prevent her from falling into the hands of any party. Only then can we question her carefully."

Now, Imperial Concubine Yao is like a sacrifice. The three forces all want to capture her and sacrifice her. No matter who holds her hand, she will die. But if she is rescued, it means going against the three forces. It is almost impossible to escape with her unscathed. The two of them couldn't help but worry.

Mu Xiaoqiao pondered for a moment and said, "Now, we can only find a way to take her away from Rui Kingdom secretly and away from this place of trouble, so that we can proceed to the next step."

"However, the king's life is at stake. The Crown Prince and the Second Prince have now sent a large number of elite troops to search for Concubine Yao's whereabouts. It is not an easy task to secretly take her away."

"Everything depends on human effort." Mu Xiaoqiao clenched his fist. "This matter is too important. We have no choice but to take the risk."

Ruan Haoyu nodded, "In this case, we must have a foolproof plan."

That night, Mu Xiaoqiao and Ruan Haoyu stayed awake all night.

Chonghua Palace.

Ruan Haofeng was also listening to the report, "His Highness the Sixth Prince did not step out of Cheng'en Palace today, but Cheng'en Palace was heavily guarded, so I was unable to find out what Concubine Rou said to the Sixth Prince. As for Mu Xiaoqiao, she left the palace for a whole day, and as soon as she left the palace, she threw us off her radar and did not return until midnight."

"I'm afraid that my sixth brother will never be able to be of any use to me. What a pity! If he didn't have such an ambitious mother, he would still be very well behaved. I still admire my sixth brother very much."

Ruan Haofeng paused, then smiled, "I just didn't expect that Mu Xiaoqiao is more capable than I thought. He was able to get rid of my secret guards so easily and disappear for a whole day. Tsk tsk, you really can't underestimate the people around Sixth Brother."

"Do we still need to keep monitoring the Sixth Prince and Mu Xiaoqiao?"

Ruan Haofeng's eyes were burning. "Of course we have to monitor him, but I'm afraid you can't do it. I have to do it myself. You should hurry up and find out the news about that person."

The subordinate took the order and left. Ruan Haofeng sat on the armchair and pondered for a while, then called a young eunuch and whispered a few words to him.

The next morning, just after dawn, Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao had just fallen asleep when they were awakened by a knock on the door. A maid said outside the door: "Your Highness, the Second Prince is waiting for you in the front hall. He said he wants to go to court with you."

"Go to court?"

Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao looked at each other. Concubine Rou said yesterday that he didn't need to go to court, because except for the day he was sent as a hostage, the king had never asked him to go to court and had never cared about his son.

Now Ruan Haofeng comes to ask him to go to court?

But since he was here, there was no way he could avoid him. The two of them hurriedly got up, washed, and came to the front hall. Sure enough, Ruan Haofeng was already waiting for him.

"Sixth brother, you finally woke up. Second brother informed the Crown Prince yesterday that from today on, you can also attend court. Please hurry up and come with me."

After Ruan Haofeng finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered his servants to deliver the court robes. Ruan Haoyu was puzzled and asked: "Second brother, why is it so sudden? I have never participated in court affairs and I don't understand anything."

Ruan Haofeng patted Ruan Haoyu on the shoulder and said, "Sixth brother, you have grown up. You are a descendant of our royal family after all. It is only a matter of time before you take this step. Hurry up and change your clothes and follow me."

Ruan Haoyu had no choice but to change into court clothes and follow. Concubine Rou walked out from the back hall, her face as gloomy as water, and said to Mu Xiaoqiao: "What does the Second Prince want Yu'er to do?"

Mu Xiaoqiao lowered his eyebrows and said, "In reply to your Majesty, the Second Prince asked Your Highness to go to court with him."

Concubine Rou said bitterly: "This Ruan Haofeng has ulterior motives and is ruining my plans."

Mu Xiaoqiao lowered her head and said nothing. Concubine Rou thought for a moment and said softly, "Xiaoqiao, come here."

Mu Xiaoqiao took two steps forward and walked in front of Concubine Rou. Concubine Rou took her hand and said softly, "Xiaoqiao, you have been following Yu'er for the past few years. You have worked hard."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Xiao Qiao has worked hard. I haven't thanked you for your cultivation yet. It is my honor to serve Your Highness."

"I know you are a good child. I personally raised you and watched you grow up. I believe that you also hope for the best for Yu'er, just like I do, right?"

Mu Xiaoqiao understood Concubine Rou’s thoughts. Seeing that she couldn’t persuade Ruan Haoyu, she turned to try to persuade her first and let her persuade her again.

"Xiao Qiao is deeply indebted to the Queen and His Highness, and naturally hopes that the Queen and His Highness can live a long and healthy life."

Concubine Rou laughed, "What a silly child! What a silly thing to say. I know that Yu'er likes you. Once the big thing is done, I will let Yu'er make you a noble concubine."

Imperial Concubine? Mu Xiaoqiao sighed inwardly. In Concubine Rou's heart, she was just a servant after all, not worthy of the position of Queen. She thought that she was born in a humble family, and the position of Imperial Concubine was already very high. Who knew that she didn't care about these at all.

Mu Xiaoqiao deliberately showed a happy expression and was about to kneel down to thank her, but Concubine Rou held her back and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my lady. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Concubine Rou was very satisfied with Mu Xiaoqiao's performance. After dismissing her attendants, she said, "Xiaoqiao, I need you to take the Phantom Guard to do something. This thing may be a little dangerous, but if it succeeds, Yu'er's road to success will be reduced by half. Are you willing to go?"

Mu Xiaoqiao nodded, "I am willing to die for you, my lady."

"Good boy, then, tonight, you take three hundred Phantom Guards and go to..."

It was a dark and windy night, a perfect weather for murder and arson.

Mu Xiaoqiao was dressed in black, and her petite face was wrapped in a black scarf, revealing only a pair of big, lively eyes. She almost blended into the darkness. She hid high up, looking at the twinkling firelights below.

Nishang came to her side quietly and said, "Commander, are we really going to break into the camp of this 80,000-strong army?"

Using only 300 people to break into the camp of an army of 80,000 is like hitting a rock with an egg no matter how you look at it.

Mu Xiaoqiao nodded, "Of course we have to break in, but we can't force our way in."

She had passed through the military camp of 30,000 troops intact, so there was nothing to be afraid of with 80,000 troops. However, everything had to be done in a proper manner, and forcing through would undoubtedly be courting death.

Concubine Rou asked her to take the commander's head from among thousands of soldiers and horses, hoping to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and capture the thief and the king. Now Ruan Haofeng is in the palace, so it is not easy to do it. She can only make his 80,000 troops lose their combat effectiveness first. It must be said that Concubine Rou still has brains.

However, Mu Xiaoqiao didn't want to take the risk. If she didn't cherish her life and was accidentally killed, she didn't know if she could go back to the modern world. Maybe even Ruan Haoyu would be implicated and couldn't go back.

But the situation is complicated now, and they must get out of Rui State as soon as possible. After all, they have more important things to do.

Nishang nodded, "Commander, the Phantom Guards reported that the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince have also stationed their troops five miles away."

"Very good, let's go ahead and set the fire as planned."

The more chaotic the situation is now, the more advantageous it is to her. Since everyone wants to use her and Ruan Haoyu, they cannot disappoint these people who value them so much.

Nichang took the order and went. Mu Xiaoqiao's eyes flickered slightly. It was time to end the chaos in Rui Kingdom. Since she came back, she hadn't had a good night's sleep. She hated such a life so much.
