The vicious character collapses in front of the villain husband

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, and Zi Ming came to the outside of Mu Ying's bedroom.

The lights were still on in the hall. Zi Ming saw through the gap in the window that Cheng Ming was patiently coaxing Mu Ying and saying something. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Humph, you stupid thing, don't you know who is your master? Don't you know who you should be devoted to?

Zi Ming waited for a while, until Cheng Ming turned off the lights and left, then he sneaked in through the open window.

Without much trouble, he found the purse that Mu Ying had hung on the head of the bed, took it down, and replaced it with another identical ordinary purse that he had prepared in advance.

Zi Ming thought he had accomplished his mission, but when he turned over to leave, he heard a sound of breaking air behind him.

It was too late to dodge. The sharp hidden weapon pierced his shoulder fiercely. The force was so great that Zi Ming rushed forward four or five steps before falling to the ground.

The man who threw the hidden weapon behind him stopped moving. Zi Ming gritted his teeth, got up, and flew forward. He had only taken two or three steps when he was pierced through the other shoulder by a sharp weapon.

The pain of the broken bones instead stimulated her desire to survive. She tried her best to move forward, but the people behind her threw sharp weapons again, piercing her knees and thigh bones. They were neither hurried nor slow, and each time they waited for her to stand up before throwing the things in their hands.

How cruel.

Zi Ming knew that he had no chance of survival today, so he grasped the fire starter in his hand, swung it hard, and the flame came close to his purse.

The person behind her noticed her movement, flew over suddenly, and stepped on the flames.

Zi Ming used up his last bit of strength and threw the burning object in his hand into the air, and it fell into a pile of dry straw nearby.

A raging fire broke out in an instant.

Only then did Zi Ming see that the weapon that stabbed him was just a thin branch.

"Damn it, I will become a ghost when I die, you..." Zi Ming stopped cursing and saw clearly that the person who ambushed him silently was actually the Demon King!

There was still flames in Mu Huo's eyes. He looked down at the maid who was about to be pierced into a hedgehog by the branches. He threw out all the branches in his hands at once and nailed her to the ground.

【Beep! 】

Mu Xiaoxi opened her eyes in a daze. She could faintly hear the noise of a crowd outside and could hear people shouting, "There's a fire, there's a fire!"

Sometimes good hearing is not necessarily a good thing. Mu Xiaoxi rolled up his tail to cover his ears, but still heard the clear voice of the system issuing tasks.

[Trigger mission: Severely punish the python princess Mu Zhen]

[Mission content: The villain Mu Huo caught Zi Ming, a servant of Mu Zhen, who was behaving improperly. During the interrogation, a fire broke out. The vicious wife was awakened by the noise of a fire in the middle of the night. Without being able to identify the exact cause, the villain's only blood relative, Princess Mu Zhen, was severely punished.]

[Mission Reward: Combat Power +2]

[Mission failed: combat power reset to zero]

So, the punishment was given because he was woken up and was in a bad mood?

Mu Xiaoxi smiled helplessly, casually put on a Ruyi cloud pattern shirt, loosely tied up her long hair with a golden peach blossom hairpin, pushed the door open and went out, only to see Qingqiao already waiting outside the hall.

"My Lady, there is a fire in front of the little prince's bedroom."

"Well, let's go take a look."

From a distance, the flames could be seen getting smaller and smaller.

The fire got smaller, but the crowd did not decrease. Instead, it gathered in layer after layer.

Qingqiao pushed through the crowd.

When everyone saw Mu Xiaoxi, they all made way and saluted, "Empress Mu."

Mu Xiaoxi saw Mu Huo in a black robe not even looking at her. She also saw the little demon surrounded by everyone, lying face down, with long and short tree branches stuck all over his body and a purple wreath around his neck.

Knowing that this was the caught Zi Ming.

When Zi Ming heard the greetings from the crowd, he suddenly looked up and smiled strangely, stretching his hands towards Mu Xiaoxi, "Madam, save me! Madam! You asked me to poison you, and I did as you said. Please save me, Madam!"

Mu Xiaoxi curled her lips and asked Mu Huo, who was standing calmly beside her, "Is this little demon the princess' personal maid?"

Mu Zhen came in a hurry and heard these words. He looked at Mu Xiaoxi with hatred in his eyes that he could not hide.

But seeing Mu Huo still beside her, she felt guilty and forced out tears, and asked pitifully, "She is my maid, so what?"

Mu Xiaoxi smiled but said nothing. She tilted her head slightly and asked Mu Huo, "Your Highness has captured this man. How does Your Highness want to deal with him?"

Mu Huo turned his head, his long eyebrows reaching his temples. The firelight made him look even more handsome. Perhaps it was because of the firelight, his eyes didn't seem so cold for the first time.

He just said calmly: "Zi Ming pointed out the queen, do you want to explain it?"

On the other side, Mu Zhen winked at Zi Ming, who immediately felt the wreath around his neck tighten, and felt a chill in his heart. This was the princess's warning to him not to talk nonsense, but he had already decided to bite her to death and just say that it was the fox who ordered it.

Cheng Ming and the other two didn't know that the wreath around the princess' neck could be tightened at any time according to her wishes. It could not be cut or burned, and could strangle a person to death.

In any case, if I dare to say a word about the poisonous insect today, I will surely die. If the fox instigated me to do so, at least, Her Royal Highness the Princess will ask the Demon King for forgiveness.

Zi Ming made up his mind.

"My lady, you have to save me! You said that if I did this, you would give me a hundred taels of gold and silver and let me escape from slavery. Although I am the maid of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I also have seven emotions and six desires, and I also want to live a life that is not a slave. Is it possible? Are you asking me to do this just because I am the maid of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

These words were suggestive, and the Python civilians who were gathered in three layers around them all began to whisper to each other.

"What is going on here? Logically speaking, even though the princess and the demon king are not siblings, she shouldn't harm the little prince, right?"

"I don't think the princess has any reason to harm the little prince, but the queen..."

"Oh, I know, I know, this fox lady doesn't treat the little prince as her own flesh and blood!"

"It is said that the young prince is almost dying now, why do you still want to harm him?"

"Humph, I don't think they want to harm the little prince, but to eradicate the royal bloodline of the python clan. They use a little prince to frame the princess and kill one by one."

"They are just picking on us! Tsk tsk tsk, they can just fool a maid and frame the princess!"

"Fortunately, this maid still has a conscience!"

"This is bullying our python clan because we have no successors! Alas!"

Mu Xiaoxi couldn't help but sneer, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Do I have a good explanation?"

The person next to him said calmly, "It's better than never explaining at all."

Mu Xiaoxi didn't understand what was going on. Mu Huo suddenly said this and turned away without saying anything else.

Mu Xiaoxi didn't want to listen to the buzzing of the crowd anymore. It was totally meaningless. She stroked the tip of her ear and said to Qingqiao beside her: "It's too noisy, Qingqiao."

Qingqiao's hands immediately transformed into slender branches, nearly three meters long, and swung them towards the crowd.

The crowd dodged in panic.

But when they gathered together, they had the illusion that they were ants but extremely powerful, and complaints immediately broke out among the crowd.

"Hey hey! Why are you still like this?!"

"My lady, can't we just say a fair word from the sidelines?"

"Yeah, what have we done wrong? You want to beat us like this? Isn't that a bit too overbearing?"

"This is the python tribe, not your fox tribe. You can't just do whatever you want here. You can't just get angry and beat anyone up!"

"I just can't stand this kind of bullying of honest people!"
