Chapter 348

Wu Meiniang insisted on guarding the door of the sleeping quarters, determined to wait until Qin Mu came out.

She said she must thank the Emperor in person for his great kindness and virtue.

Li Xueyan did not say much and let Wu Meiniang be.

As a result, she stood there for several hours!

I don't know how much time passed.

Li Xueyan quietly walked out of the sleeping quarters.

"Your Highness, how is the Emperor?"

Wu Meiniang hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"My husband is fine, he is just sitting quietly by the window watching the moon."

"Watching the moon?"

Wu Meiniang was very surprised.

She had imagined many things Qin Mu might be doing, but she never expected this.

"Meiniang, you should go back. It's cold at night, and such a big thing happened today, how can a weak girl like you handle it?"

Li Xueyan looked at the thin and frail Wu Meiniang with pity.

"Your Highness, I'm fine! I will wait here!"

Wu Meiniang smiled faintly and shook her head.

"Sigh! You child..."

Li Xueyan sighed, helpless, and turned to enter the sleeping quarters again.

Looking at her back, Wu Meiniang's eyes were full of envy.

The Princess must have been the kindest person in the world in her past life, right?

That's why she could be so lucky to become the Emperor's Princess.

In another sleeping quarter.

Princess Changle lay on the bed, her head resting on Empress Zhangsun's lap.

What happened today was truly too horrifying, far exceeding what Princess Changle could bear.

Even at this moment.

The scene from that time was still appearing in her mind.

The heavy snow in the sky, the heads all over the ground, the corpses piled up like small hills.

The scene of the old men dying generously, the blood gathering into a river.

"Mother, when you and Father founded the Great Tang, did you also experience these things?"

Princess Changle suddenly asked.

Empress Zhangsun was stunned for a moment and said gently: "I suppose so. Every generation of emperors founding a foundation will experience these things, without exception."

"Mother, today I finally understand what it means that the success of one general is built on ten thousand bones."

"Brother... he must be very tired, right?"

Princess Changle's tears flowed uncontrollably, dampening Empress Zhangsun's dress.

"Yes! The foundation he is creating is a hundred or a thousand times harder than what we faced at the time."

Empress Zhangsun also felt a sore nose and her eyes turned red.

Thinking that Qin Mu would experience countless such tragic scenes in the future, Empress Zhangsun felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

But there was no other way!

This is the price of becoming an emperor for the ages!

In an inn in Handu.

Fang Xuanling stood at the door of the private room, pacing back and forth.

Inside the room.

A figure flickered under the candlelight.

Ever since returning to the inn, Li Er had locked himself in the room for several hours.

Fang Xuanling was very worried and had been guarding here.

Li Er seemed to have a telepathic connection with Qin Mu.

He was also sitting by the window, looking up at the bright moonlight.

His mind was in chaos!

Today's scene was truly too shocking.

So shocking that even Li Er could hardly bear it.

If I encountered this situation, would I be as decisive in killing as Qin Mu?

No!

Impossible!

Not to mention the distant past, just before coming to Yizhou, Li Er still had not taken any substantial restrictive measures against the noble clans.

He was afraid!

He was afraid of the series of consequences that would follow if he angered the noble clans.

That was a disaster the Great Tang could not bear at present.

In an instant.

Li Er seemed to have aged a lot.

Qin Mu's figure was like a ten-thousand-foot-high mountain, pressing heavily on his heart.

Also as an emperor, Li Er had always been unwilling to admit that he was weaker than Qin Mu.

But the scene today.

Made the proud Li Er convinced for the first time in his life!

"Qin Mu, oh Qin Mu!"

"How unfortunate am I to exist in the same world as you?"

"How fortunate am I to exist in the same world as you."

Li Er muttered to himself, seemingly saying something contradictory.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not hard to understand.

With Qin Mu around, Li Er could not sleep or eat in peace, always feeling like he was facing a formidable enemy.

This is his misfortune!

But precisely because Qin Mu is here, Li Er sees so much brilliance he has never experienced before, which is also his good fortune.

Fortune and misfortune are just a matter of a single thought.

"I swear, I must catch up to Qin Mu, I must surpass him! No matter the cost, I will not hesitate."

Li Er vowed secretly in his heart.

The next morning.

At the door of the palace sleeping quarters.

Wu Meiniang had fallen asleep squatting under the huge red stone pillar outside the hall.

She hugged herself, leaning against the pillar.

Her thin and frail body formed a sharp contrast with the huge stone pillar.

She looked just like a shivering little cat hiding in a corner.

A tall, straight figure appeared before Wu Meiniang.

However.

Wu Meiniang did not seem to notice, her eyes moving slightly, as if she were dreaming.

"Has she been here all night?"

Qin Mu asked indifferently.

Wei Zheng, who was behind him, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Yes!"

Qin Mu did not say anything more and turned to leave.

Just at this moment.

Wu Meiniang heard the movement and woke up from her dream.
