Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 387: Unconsciousness, Hidden Mechanisms!

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Unconsciousness, Hidden Mechanisms!

"Inspection Department, come quickly, guard it, guard it!"

"Someone, someone, protect the officer..."

"..."

The execution ground was in chaos, with the appearance of these black-clothed men, it became a mess.

Princess Nianxi was hiding in a small alley, looking at her own people entangled with the Inspection Department and other soldiers in the distance, her brow slightly furrowed.

Why does it always feel like something is wrong?

Just at that moment, whoosh whoosh whoosh, several shadows appeared beside her.

"Princess, you are involved in the prisoner hijacking, we have captured you!"

A cold voice suddenly sounded, startling Princess Nianxi. She quickly turned around to look at them, and they were actually from the Yulong Pavilion!

Princess Nianxi’s complexion changed slightly, and she sternly said, "How dare you! I am the Princess of Daliang Country, and who are you to apprehend me?"

Her reprimand was imposing, but unfortunately, the other party was not afraid at all, and just coldly said, "The Emperor has instructed us to invite the Princess to the Imperial Palace, nothing else!"

Go to the Imperial Palace?

What going to the Imperial Palace, this is clearly house arrest!

Princess Nianxi’s face turned very unpleasant, but she couldn’t resist. These people were from the Yulong Pavilion, top experts among experts, and what they said sounded so nice, all she could do was follow obediently.

When she walked out of the alley, she saw that the fighting on the execution ground had also stopped, and her people had all been captured!

Are Dazhou’s troops this powerful?

No, it’s not them, those people are all from the Yulong Pavilion!

Did the Emperor Zhou know she was going to rescue someone from the execution ground?

Damn it, who betrayed her? She wouldn’t suspect Long Yue because Long Yue had no motive, so who could it be?

"Execute!"

As she was pondering, the words fell, and the head fell to the ground!

But the blood, there wasn’t much left to spurt, because the man’s blood was almost drained, sustained only by a single breath, which finally broke!

...

Long Yue was taken back to the General Mansion by Duanmu Nan.

She was still unconscious, but Duanmu Nan did not rush to wake her up, thinking that with her such emotional fluctuations, it would be better for her to sleep a bit longer.

He gently covered her with the quilt and helped to smooth her shiny black hair, then sat beside the bed, silently watching her.

Whenever she woke up, he had to avert his gaze, fearing she’d misunderstand, only when she was quietly lying there could he take a few more glances.

He sat there, unaware of how much time had passed, when the little woman beside him let out a faint murmur and gradually opened her eyes.

"Yue’er." Duanmu Nan called softly, with endless tenderness in his eyes, "Is your body feeling better?"

"Master... Master, have you been by my side the whole time?"

Long Yue found that the first thing she always saw when she woke up was her Master, she couldn’t help asking, her heart already touched.

Her Master was so good to her, even staying by her side, afraid something might happen to her.

Long Yue looked at him gratefully, and Duanmu Nan was a bit stunned, wanting to say "No, I just came in", but seeing Long Yue’s excited and happy eyes, he softened, nodding slightly, "Hmm!"

Long Yue showed a sweet smile and said, "Master, I’m fine now. You’ve been so tired these days for me, why not rest a while?"

Duanmu Nan was somewhat tired too, and seeing Long Yue’s spirit seemed much better, he thought it might be a good time to rest, though he gave some instructions before leaving.

Long Yue watched Duanmu Nan leave, and when he closed the door, the smile on her face faded.

She looked again at the chessboard.

A Mu said they were all chess pieces, just very special ones.

She gently stroked her abdomen; perhaps because of the mother-child connection, she felt A Mu should be alright.

The man at the execution ground, very real, almost identical to An Mu, but Long Yue knew it wasn’t him.

Even a tiger does not eat its cubs, no matter how ruthless the Emperor was, he wouldn’t drag his child out like livestock to execute. So, where is A Mu now?

Where on earth is he hidden?

This Emperor, he’s really playing a grand game!

Long Yue uncovered the quilt, got out of bed, walked to the window, and thought of her performance at the execution ground today, she couldn’t help but smile.

Life is like a play, all about acting skills. Her performance today should have been quite convincing, right?

Truthfully, at the moment she saw that person, she was genuinely in deep sorrow, nearly fainting, but later, seeing someone indeed came to rescue, she realized that person certainly wasn’t A Mu.

Because the opponent also realized it, they wanted to take him back for further identification.

"A Mu, I’m here waiting for you, and we already have our child, do you... know?"

...

In the underground quiet room.

The lighting was very bright, each of the exquisite candlesticks was burning brightly.

Originally, there weren’t so many lights here, but Li Qingmu said staying underground for a long time with dim lighting was bad for the eyes, so the Emperor immediately brought many candlesticks and candles.

Strangely, this place was actually airy, even with so many candles burning, it didn’t feel stuffy.

"Emperor, why doesn’t it feel stuffy here?"

Li Qingmu was looking at the dome above, trying to discern a flower.

Qi Yun was on the opposite side, the two were playing chess.

"Since this place is My secret chamber, it’s naturally well-designed, you can rest assured living here."

Qi Yun smiled, staring at the board, ah, he only won by half a piece again?

This little thing, is he letting Me win on purpose? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Qi Yun was dissatisfied, "Can you play a proper game of chess with Me?"

The little one’s chess skills were so good, but he was always letting Me win. Shouldn’t it be the other way around, Me letting him win?

Li Qingmu said in surprise, "Emperor, your chess skills are excellent, I can’t win even after exerting all my strength, it’s only because you were giving face, only winning by half a piece..."

"Hmph!"

Qi Yun looked at him coldly, almost amused by the little one’s flattery, how could he be so agreeable?

But...

Ugh, hearing this child calling Emperor every time, it always felt uncomfortable for Qi Yun.

So distant!

Well, they never really got close before, did they?

"Crunch!"

At this point, a soft sound came from the side of the chessboard, revealing a secret compartment, and inside, there was a note.

"Emperor, what’s this?"

Having lived here so long, it was the first time he discovered there was a mechanism here, was it for delivering letters?

Qi Yun: "This is a mechanical box, the Yulong Pavilion sends what I want into the box, press the mechanism over there, and it’s delivered. Isn’t it amazing?"

Qi Yun said this while picking up the small folded paper from the box, not in a hurry to open it, but speaking to Li Qingmu about the history of this mechanical box.

"This was crafted by the great artisan Mr. Lu, everything here hides mechanisms, there are even life and death gates. A slight misstep could lead to death!"

Li Qingmu was surprised, "Here?"

"Hmm!"

"But I didn’t find anything special, didn’t Imperial Doctor Shen also..." Li Qingmu suddenly paused midway, "The mechanisms here haven’t been activated?"

"Hahaha..." Qi Yun laughed heartily, "Exactly, exactly, the little mechanisms here they know of, but those crucial ones, only I can activate them. Alright, let’s see what this..."

Qi Yun said gleefully, and opened the note to read it, but upon reading, his expression changed!
