I'm a cannon fodder, but I'm actually a heartthrob

Chapter 218: Transformed into a Hunter's Indulgent Little Wife 18

In Beichen Kingdom, the carriage drove all the way to the imperial palace.

Eunuch Zhang shouted loudly: "Your Highness, you are finally back!"

Li Cheng got off the carriage, held out his hand, and smiled at Rong Jin, "Madam, get off."

Rong Jin was confused when he heard the words "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince".

When he got off the carriage and confirmed that this was the imperial palace of Beichen Kingdom, he was completely stunned.

"Madam...Prince?!"

0517 said coldly: [Heh, he is not Li Cheng, his real identity is the prince of Beichen, Mu Lianxi. ]

Rong Jin: What a surprise.

Mu Lianxi hugged Rong Jin's waist and whispered softly in his ear: "Madam, please go back to the East Palace with Eunuch Zhang first. I will go back soon and explain to you then."

After watching Rong Jin leave, Mu Lianxi walked slowly towards the Queen's palace.

Following Mu Lianxi's instructions, Eunuch Zhang arranged Rong Jin in the prince's bedroom.

Mu Lianxi didn't let Rong Jin wait too long and came back in less than half an hour.

He stretched out his hand and passed it under Rong Jin's arm, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said stickyly, "My lady, I missed you."

Rong Jin: "But we just separated."

Mu Lianxi buried her face in Rong Jin's neck and rubbed it coquettishly, "I just miss my wife. I don't want to leave my wife for a moment."

Rong Jin pushed his head and said, "Okay, explain it quickly."

Mu Lianxi stood up straight, pulled Rong Jin to sit on the chair, and slowly told the story of how he became Li Cheng.

The Beichen Kingdom and the Nanque Kingdom have always been at odds with each other, and there have been constant disputes between the two countries.

Huo Lanyi, the King Xuan of Nanque State, was a man of great martial arts and wisdom. Under his leadership, Nanque State defeated Beichen State many times.

As the crown prince of Beichen Kingdom, Mu Lianxi naturally disliked him very much.

It so happened that someone from Nanque Kingdom contacted him, wanting to join forces with him to get rid of Huo Lanyi. Mu Lianxi would certainly not refuse, and he ambushed in Changyang County in advance, waiting for Huo Lanyi to arrive.

However, they never expected that Huo Lanyi had also sent people to investigate in Changyang County in advance, and after finding the people from Beichen Kingdom, they chased them everywhere.

Mu Lianxi was not bringing many people with him at the time, and was injured by mistake. In desperation, he hid on a hill in Changyang County, and ran into Li Cheng, a hunter who was out looking for rabbits.

Li Cheng saw the seriously injured Mu Lianxi and thought he was a fugitive, so he wanted to kill him to collect the reward, but he was killed instead because he was not as skilled as the other party. Mu Lianxi then pretended to be Li Cheng and came to Li Cheng's house, where he saw his wife who had just entered the house and had not yet met Li Cheng.

After listening to Mu Lianxi's narration, Rong Jin pointed at his abdomen and said from a tricky angle: "So you are lying to me. The wound on your abdomen was not caused by Huo Lanyi sending people to chase you."

As Rong Jin was talking, he felt something was wrong.

Mu Lianxi's injury was indeed caused by Huo Lanyi sending people to hunt him down, but it happened earlier and had nothing to do with him.

After thinking it through, Rong Jin became more confident: "You've gone too far. You lied to me."

Mu Lian lowered his eyes and said, "Madam, it's my fault. I was afraid that if I told the truth on the way, she would not want to go back to Beichen Kingdom with me."

He grabbed Rong Jin's hand and slapped himself in the face: "Madam, hit me now."

"Hey?" Rong Jin pulled his hand back, pursed his lips and said, "My mind is in a mess right now, get out."

Mu Lianxi walked out obediently and squatted at the door waiting for Rong Jin to change his mind.

As a result, he waited all night but Rong Jin didn't come out.

In fact, Rong Jin didn't know he was squatting at the door until he woke up and opened the door. He saw Mu Lianxi sleeping against the door frame and asked in astonishment, "Why are you sleeping here?"

Mu Lianxi hugged Rong Jin's waist and asked irrelevantly, "My wife, have you forgiven me?"

Rong Jin did not give him an answer, but said: "Go back to your room and sleep."

Mu Lianxi immediately entered the room excitedly, lay down on the bed, patted the seat next to him and said, "My wife, I want to hold you while sleeping, come on, sleep for a while."

Rong Jin couldn't refuse the kindness, so he lay back on the bed and was embraced by Mu Lianxi.

They slept until the sun was high in the sky. Eunuch Zhang paced anxiously at the door. When he heard a slight movement from inside the room, he called out in a low voice, "Your Highness, are you up?"

Mu Lianxi put on her clothes, walked out the door and said, "What's wrong?"

Eunuch Zhang hesitated and said, "Your Highness, the morning court session has passed."

Mu Lianxi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Tell my father that I'm sick and can't get out of bed. I really can't go to the morning court."

Eunuch Zhang looked at the energetic Mu Lianxi, and went to the emperor against his conscience to repeat everything word for word.

The emperor knew his son's character very well. He sneered and said, "Too sick to get out of bed? I think he doesn't want to get out of bed. Go back and tell him that if he doesn't come to court tomorrow, I will break his legs so that he can never get out of bed again."

Eunuch Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Queen asked with great interest, "Does that Master Chen live with the Crown Prince?"

Eunuch Zhang answered truthfully.

The queen understood and said, "Your Majesty, I will go and see the prince."

The emperor stood up and said, "I will go with you."

The queen glanced at him and smiled, "Your Majesty, please don't go, so as not to scare the child."

The emperor doubted his life: "Am I that terrible?"

Mu Lianxi didn't know that her mother was on her way and personally prepared breakfast for Rong Jin. She said happily, "Madam, please try it. I have learned a lot from the imperial chef in the palace."

Rong Jin tasted the porridge he made and praised it, "It tastes good, much better than before."

Mu Lianxi stepped forward and said, "Of course not. I have been learning this for a long time."

After Rong Jin finished his meal, Mu Lianxi said again: "My wife, because I cook delicious food, can you marry me?"

Rong Jin said nonchalantly: "You are the prince, and I am just an ordinary person. We are not suitable."

Mu Lianxi said seriously: "My lady, I really like you, and I promise to only marry you in this life."

Rong Jin hurriedly said: "You are the prince, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines, you don't have to do it for me..."

Mu Lianxi interrupted, "No! Madam, you are the only one in my heart."

The queen chuckled and did not go in to disturb them.

"Lian Xi is just like his father."

The emperor had said something similar to her in the past, but the queen did not believe it.

Now, more than 20 years have passed, and the emperor's harem only has the empress, and no other concubines.

Before the Queen left, she said to Eunuch Zhang, "Eunuch Zhang, please bring in the gift I prepared for Master Chen later in the evening."

"Yes, Queen."

Not long after the Queen left, Mu Lianxi pushed open the door and came out.

Eunuch Zhang stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother has just been here. This is the gift that the Queen Mother prepared for Master Chen."

"Gift?" Mu Lianxi opened the box and saw a piece of Hetian jade placed inside the box.

Eunuch Zhang was surprised and said, "This jade should be the one that Your Majesty gave to the Empress a few years ago."

Mu Lianxi had some impression, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Yes, mother is thoughtful."

He remembered that this piece of Hetian jade was originally complete and had been treasured in the Queen's Palace.

Before he set out to Nanque Kingdom to look for Rong Jin, he mentioned Rong Jin to the Queen several times. He never expected that when he returned this time, the Queen would carefully carve the jade into a jade pendant and give it to Rong Jin as a gift.

He walked back to the room and showed the jade pendant to Rong Jin.

"Do you like it, madam?" Mu Lianxi hung the jade pendant on Rong Jin's waist, "It suits you very well."
