Chapter 283: Chapter 170: Love Her, Indulge Her, Spoil Her, Pamper Her_2 Chapter 283: Chapter 170: Love Her, Indulge Her, Spoil Her, Pamper Her_2 Thinking of Uncle Song’s white hair and hunched figure, they still managed to be so ruthless, beating him beyond recognition, swelling so badly, Gu Changsheng’s suppressed anger began to boil again.

Zhou Mu felt the small hand in his gradually tightening, and hurriedly embraced her in his arms, comforting her with gentle words, “Don’t be angry, Uncle Song will be fine.”

As wise as he was, how could he not know how much she cared for her family?

Under Zhou Mu’s gentle pats, the anger in Gu Changsheng’s heart slowly dissipated, and she frowned at Zhou Mu.

“Let Eunuch Gui go. The accusation of being unfaithful and unfilial, the criticism from the world…”

Zhou Mu had done too much for her, she didn’t want him to suffer the pointing fingers of the world because of her.

Being with her was already hard enough for people to accept, let alone if it added the accusation of unfaithfulness and unfilial piety…

The people’s foolish loyalty and reverence for filial piety were moral shackles, heavier than Mount Tai; the words of others are ultimately to be feared!

“Ha ha…” Zhou Mu chuckled softly, gently rubbing her head.

She still cared about him so much!

This realization filled Zhou Mu with joy; his eyes and brows brimmed with content and affection.

Their love talk, oblivious to others around them, made the Imperial Forest Army captain grow even more uneasy.

The captain exchanged glances with his subordinates, and cold sweat dripped down, its splatter clearly audible, striking fear into their hearts.

Suddenly, Zhou Mu turned his head, his gaze sharp as a blade, piercing straight into the captain’s soul, his eyes lofty as if he were a divine residence in the clouds, looking down at the insignificant masses.

“Unfaithful and unfilial? I, as a prince, have been loyal to my country, fought in battles for ten years without leaving the saddle, and brought peace to all borders, with the Four Kingdoms paying tribute! As a scion of the Zhou Family, I am true to the imperial blood flowing in my veins!”

“Criticized by the people? Ask yourselves, looking across the Zhou Dynasty, which of the people don’t owe me? Who enjoys luxury and honor, who endured bloody battles to secure your borders?”

“The old man himself doesn’t dare to accuse me of disloyalty and unfilial behavior, which of the common people has the face to criticize me?”

“A mere fifth-ranked captain of the Imperial Forest Army dares speak such nonsense before me? It’s absurdly ignorant! Guards!” One arm embracing his beloved, Zhou Mu’s purple sleeve fluttered, his hand resting at his back.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of people in black leaped over the onlookers, appearing before Zhou Mu, kneeling on one knee ready for orders.

“Daring to threaten my wife, you can’t escape death, drag them away!”

“Understood!”

The people in black moved in response, and in the blink of an eye, they took away the twenty or so Imperial Forest Army soldiers, disappearing before everyone’s eyes.

Poor Imperial Forest Army captain, though somewhat clever, his cleverness led to his downfall, not even getting a chance to beg for mercy before being gagged and dragged away by the people in black.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

The onlookers gaped in shock at the exalted Prince Mu. In their hearts, His Highness Prince Mu was undoubtedly the Undefeated War God, accustomed to killing decisively in battle.

Seeing is believing.

Seeing Eunuch Gui and more than twenty Imperial Forest Army soldiers disappear instantaneously, the shock was undeniable.

This tremendous shock left them as still as wooden chickens, under Zhou Mu’s overpowering might, not daring to breathe too loudly.

The delegation from the Capital City vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only the Little Eunuch who, unknown to them, had picked up the imperial edict kicked aside by Gu Changsheng, holding it tightly in his arms, hiding behind the Suan Ni Beast Stone Carvings.

At this moment, he trembled, clenching the imperial edict in his arms as if it were his last lifeline, not daring to let go.

Zhou Mu frowned at the Little Eunuch and coldly dropped two words, “Announce the decree!”

He wanted to see what sort of trouble the old man was trying to stir up.

It’s one thing to look for him, but to make things hard for his Changsheng? That was absolutely unacceptable!

Gu Changsheng fought back the sourness in her eyes, leaning on Zhou Mu’s broad and strong shoulders as her heart churned…

What virtue or ability did she, Gu Changsheng, possess to meet someone who would treat her like this in this life?

Her heart filled with emotion, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but miss her home a little!

She missed her grandfather and wanted to tell him that she had found a man who would cherish her without conditions…

Zhou Mu caressed her shoulder in silent consolation, watching the terrified Little Eunuch crawl from behind the Suan Ni Beast Stone, his hands trembling as he untied the Yellow Brocade rope wrapped around the imperial edict.

Have you ever seen an eunuch announcing a decree on his knees, while the recipient stands?

That was what was happening before their eyes!

“I… I heard that in Liuzhou City there is a Medicinal Woman… Gu Changsheng, known far and wide for her divine healing skills… Filled with admiration, I hereby order… Medicinal Woman of the Gu Clan, upon receiving this decree… to set out for the Capital City immediately for an audience with the Emperor. Make no mistake! By my command… ”

The Little Eunuch stuttered through the decree, drenched in cold sweat, finally having recited it once.

Gu Changsheng, upon hearing the content of the decree, was startled and looked puzzled at Zhou Mu.

Zhou Mu also had his handsome brows slightly furrowed at this time.

If there was anything inappropriate about this decree, he would not hesitate to refuse it outright.

But as it appeared, there was nothing improper in the content of the decree; neither the phraseology nor the underlying meaning held a single flaw.

As proud as Zhou Mu was, with no interest in the Imperial Throne, why would he bother planting any spies in the palace?

Therefore, at this moment, he couldn’t grasp Emperor Zhoulin’s intentions. Intuitively, this didn’t seem like the old man’s usual style!

That summoning Changsheng to the Capital City was undoubtedly suspicious!

“Go to the Capital City for an audience?” Gu Changsheng mumbled in confusion.

Shit! Aren’t emperors supposed to be high above all? Some small fry like her, when idle, wouldn’t go close to them, right?

“Wife, you must not go to the Capital City!” a shout came from the distance…
