Who knows, my family members, the host is forced to love again

Chapter 178 The Queen Mother He Escaped Again 05

That night.

The moonlight is blurry.

The branches outside the window kept swaying, casting tiny shadows on the ground.

The faint moonlight poured into the bedroom, and everything around seemed so quiet.

Suddenly, a dark shadow fell in front of the window.

The black shadow then gradually approached the bed, like a ghost, silently.

The dark shadow gently lifted the bed curtain, but the scene that came into view was shocking.

There was no one on the bed!

Suddenly realizing that he had been tricked, he was about to turn around and leave when he felt a chill on his neck.

Then, a beautiful female voice rang out in the darkness.

"Prince Regent, you're not sleeping at this hour, but you're here in my bedroom. You're really in a good mood!"

The woman's low laughter was heard, and she continued, "I wonder if the prince is planning to take advantage of the dark night to kill or burn people? Or is he planning to steal the beauty?"

Hearing what the other party said, Xiao Muhuai's face turned completely red.

The red color even spread to the neck.

He is a cold person, but now with this touch of red, he looks inexplicably cute.

With the help of moonlight, Lu Huaiyuan could see everything.

His eyes moved slightly, and he asked teasingly, "Why isn't Your Highness speaking? Could it be that you feel embarrassed?"

Xiao Muhuai: "I..., this king..., is not..."

He is usually a quiet person, but now he is "forced" to speak so much that even his language system is confused.

Seeing this, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but laugh: "Why, did I hit the nail on the head, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Muhuai: "I..."

He turned his head and looked at the dagger at his neck, feeling helpless.

"Her Majesty, did you know that I was coming?"

Everything that happened tonight was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of his.

He was caught in the act, and besides feeling embarrassed, he was also very surprised.

"I don't know!" Lu Huaiyuan said confidently, "I was planning to catch a 'rat', but I didn't expect to catch a 'big fish'."

Xiao Muhuai: "..."

it's confirmed!

This person must have known that he was coming, so he was waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Muhuai sighed and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't inform others. Isn't she afraid that this humble minister will harm you?"

Lu Huaiyuan took a few steps closer and asked, "How does your Highness intend to harm me? Kill me? Or..."

He didn't say the rest of the words, but his tone was very meaningful.

When Xiao Muhuai heard this, his eyes became a little dark.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, then suddenly turned around, hooked his arm around Lu Huaiyuan's waist, and closed the distance between them.

The dagger slashed across Xiao Muhuai's neck, leaving a deep scar in an instant.

Lu Huaiyuan didn't expect him to do this suddenly, and he was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Muhuai leaned close to him, feeling their hearts beating in unison, and felt inexplicably at peace.

He went to the palace during the day today, intending to persuade Jun Chengyan to give up his plan to marry Lu Huaiyuan.

But unexpectedly, on the way back, he suddenly ran into the so-called Empress Dowager herself.

But at just one glance, he felt the heart beating violently in his chest.

Xiao Muhuai didn't dare to say anything. He could only try hard to keep a cool expression on his face, and then left in a "disgraceful" manner.

After returning home, he was still upset.

Lying in bed, I tossed and turned.

In his mind, it seemed as if there were two people fighting and arguing.

But in the end, he abandoned all his rationality and sneaked into the palace alone, wanting to find out what was going on in the other party's bedroom.

But unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Muhuai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

His originally irritable mood unexpectedly calmed down the moment he approached the person in front of him.

It's like a lost bird that finally found its home.

Lu Huaiyuan paused because of Xiao Muhuai's sudden behavior.

He wanted to break free, but he heard the person in front of him suddenly say, "A Yuan, can I take you away from here?"

Lu Huaiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and a question mark slowly appeared on his forehead.

But before he could say anything, he suddenly felt the presence of other people.

Lu Huaiyuan frowned, looking obviously unhappy.

"Someone is coming." he said.

Hearing him say this, Xiao Muhuai, who didn't feel anyone approaching, was stunned for a moment.

However, after he came to his senses, he still chose to believe Lu Huaiyuan's words.

Xiao Muhuai let go of his hand, then flashed and disappeared in front of Lu Huaiyuan.

And the next second, a burst of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall.

"Surround this place for me." A majestic male voice came, with murderous intent undisguised in his voice: "If you see anyone appear, kill them without mercy!"

The voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the two people in the room to hear clearly.

Xiao Muhuai was shocked, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Lu Huaiyuan.

Under the cold moonlight, half of the other person's face is hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see his true emotions at the moment.

Xiao Muhuai didn't know what he was thinking, he just saw him walking towards the palace gate.

Lu Huaiyuan raised his hand and opened the door before Jun Chengyan pushed it open.

Everything happened so suddenly that Jun Chengyan's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Lu Huaiyuan spoke, his eyes fixed on the face of the person in front of him.

He was wearing pajamas and a cloak that wrapped him up.

His face was still a little messy from just waking up, but his tone was clearly unhappy.

Jun Chengyan swallowed subconsciously and quickly explained, "A thief broke into the palace at night. I was worried about your safety, so I sent some people to protect you."

Lu Huaiyuan swept his eyes outside and saw quite a few Royal Guards.

It goes without saying who the thief Jun Chengyan is talking about is.

But as to whether these people were here to protect him, that is another matter.

Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan silently withdrew his gaze, his expression unchanged.

Seeing this, Jun Chengyan put his hand on Lu Huaiyuan's shoulder, then took him in with a forceful embrace and walked in.

"It's windy at night, and Yuan is wearing thin clothes. You must be careful not to catch a cold."

Lu Huaiyuan broke free without leaving a trace, walked to the side, and turned on the lights in the house.

"Your Majesty said that someone broke into the palace at night. Has the thief been caught?" he asked.

Jun Chengyan stared at Lu Huaiyuan's back with an ambiguous expression: "That thief is too insidious and cunning. I don't know where he is hiding!"

Lu Huaiyuan seemed oblivious and simply said, "Since that's the case, we should have them be extremely vigilant. Protecting His Majesty is paramount."

Jun Chengyan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Lu Huaiyuan's bedroom inconspicuously.

"My safety is one thing, but I'm also very worried about your safety."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Huaiyuan and said, "Ayuan, I'm worried about you staying in this bedroom."

"Would you please let me stay tonight?"
