Chapter 554
There is still a month away from the imperial palace, but this is the territory of Emperor Mu after all, and Chu Yang's power cannot be penetrated. No matter how arrogant those in Pinglan's country are, they dare not act rashly on the surface.

At night, Mu Xiu and Zi Ling stayed in the City Lord's Mansion.After the dinner, the lone star climbed up to the sky, and the cold wind blew through the railing. Mu Xiu looked at the woman standing quietly on the pavilion, holding the fruit she used to love, but now it was completely tasteless.

After Mu Shu's death, she didn't eat anything, and she didn't even drink water for more than ten days.Mu Xiu's vague speculation in his heart has basically been confirmed.

Ziling stood on the high pavilion all night, but what he was looking at was not the imperial city of Chuyang, but the long yellow sand outside the border, which continued to rise and fall.There, there is her next target, Li Yuxi.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and at this time, Li Yuxi must have returned to Beijing to report on his duties according to the emperor's order.As expected, Jin Yu will try every means to keep him in the imperial city, so as to follow his military power step by step.

What Ziling cared more about was Xu Zixu.If there were no worries, would the queen of Chu Yang give up everything and leave Jin Yu, who had imprisoned her for several years?

The answer is unknown.

The stars were few and far between, and the morning sun dyed the horizon, and the fiery red sun rose from the endless barren horizon outside the city wall, dyeing the sky and the earth into blood.

Zi Ling stood quietly in the high pavilion on the city wall all night thinking about the next solution, while Mu Xiu stood dryly under the city wall all night with her without sleep.

The morning sun was exposed, Zi Ling finally moved, turned around, but met Mu Xiu's silent gaze, relatively speechless.On the way back to Tianchao, in the bumpy carriage, Mu Xiu took out a familiar jade ring and handed it to Zi Ling.

"Ling'er, this is something that Empress Xu entrusted me to hand over to you before leaving Chu Yang." Mu Xiu said, and handed over the green jade ring. "It's poisonous, so I haven't given it to you, sorry."

In fact, Mu Xiu didn't want to make Zi Ling feel sad.She gave everything to those who wanted to repay, but they were using her efforts to covet her life.

When Ziling took the jade jue, an indescribable loss suddenly surged in his heart.In this world, the most difficult thing to see through is the human heart.But her mission must continue.

"Mu Xiu, do you want this world?" Zi Ling turned his gaze to the quiet and bustling street scene outside the carriage, and after a long time, he asked quietly.

"I don't want it." Unexpectedly, the man in front of him who was in the vortex of power refused without hesitation.Zi Ling looked sideways, surprised, but saw him continue to speak indifferently and seriously. "I don't want it, but Linger, if you want it, I can give you this world."

Such an understatement is not young and frivolous.

Ziling stared at him for a long time, then suddenly covered her lips and smiled, this was the first time she smiled purely after becoming a fox demon. "Well, take this world as your betrothal and marry me as your Princess Mu."

In fact, she doesn't want this world, because this world has no meaning to her.However, she needs someone who can stir up the world and protect her for the rest of her life.

Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Mu Xiu softened his expression and raised his lips slightly. "Okay, within five years, this king will take this world as his betrothal and marry you as his concubine."

Carriages rumbled and rolled through the streets, and through many towns, large and small.
