The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 389 The Young Singer's Journey 58

Inside Jingtai Palace, Yi Wenjun sat upright at the table, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed, adding a touch of gentle melancholy.

Yi Wenjun's beauty is an extraordinary and refined beauty.

Even though she is now nearly forty and a mother of two, she still looks like she is in her twenties.

Her skin was very fair, with a natural blush of pink on her cheeks.

She is naturally beautiful without wearing makeup.

Her bright eyes were like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, clear and bright.

She was like a cat just awakening, surrounded by a lazy yet mysterious aura, exuding an indescribable charm.

Everyone who saw her in person was awestruck by her breathtaking beauty.

Men of this world, whether they prefer pure and bright beauty or charming and graceful beauty, will all be captivated by Yi Wenjun's beauty once they meet her.

This is probably one of the reasons why Emperor Mingde still couldn't bring himself to kill her even though she had cheated on him.

However, Emperor Mingde was also a proud man. Even though he did not kill Yi Wenjun, he decided to never have anything to do with her again after her return.

Yi Wenjun was happy to see this happen, and she simply stayed quietly in Jingtai Palace every day, savoring the tranquility of life.

The palace servants in Jingtai Palace could only wait quietly outside the palace gates, awaiting her summons.

However, Jingtai Palace was unusually lively today, much more so than usual.

There was no other reason than the arrival of the Crimson King, Xiao Yu.

To be precise, it wasn't Xiao Yu who wanted to come, but rather Yi Wenjun who issued an imperial decree to summon him to the palace.

Yi Wenjun usually maintains a faint sense of detachment from those around her, appearing aloof and unapproachable.

But she is, after all, a mother, and naturally she misses her child.

She initially decided to return to the palace because she received news that Xiao Yu was seriously ill; but later she chose to stay in the palace because she wanted to save Wuxin's life in front of Emperor Mingde.

Despite giving everything for her two children, she inadvertently caused them indelible harm.

Therefore, in order not to anger Xiao Yu, she tried her best to avoid seeing him.

But after learning that Xiao Yu was about to go to the battlefield of Nanjue, she still couldn't sit still.

Although they don't see each other often, as a mother, she still knows her son's true worth.

With his son's abilities, wouldn't going to the battlefield be suicide?

Therefore, Yi Wenjun, unusually, issued an imperial edict to the Red King's residence, summoning Xiao Yu to the palace for an audience.

Xiao Yu slapped his forehead.

I almost forgot about Yi Wenjun.

In fact, the person whose image was most subversive in his memories of both lifetimes was not Emperor Mingde, nor Xiao Ruofeng, nor even the younger generation such as Bu Xiaose and Wuxin, but rather—Yi Wenjun.

In her previous life, she was a concubine; in this life, she is a mother.

Xiao Yu spent a long time mentally preparing himself before leading Long Xie to Jingtai Palace.

Gazing at the figure faintly visible behind the veil, Xiao Yu's lips twitched a few times, but he ultimately couldn't utter the words "Mother Consort."

"...Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this address, Yi Wenjun's expression darkened, and a fleeting, almost imperceptible hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

But this feeling was fleeting. She quickly rallied and said to Xiao Yu in a gentle yet firm voice, "Yu'er, I heard that you are about to go to war. The battlefield is extremely dangerous. If you don't want to go, I can go and beg him to rescind his order."

Xiao Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he was about to refuse, but at this crucial moment, a flash of inspiration struck him, and a certain idea instantly became clear.

His mood suddenly plummeted, his voice filled with helplessness: "Since I enjoy the glory and power that come with being a prince, I should naturally step forward when the country is in danger. How can I be concerned about my own safety? As for the dangers of the battlefield..."

At this point, Xiao Yu paused slightly, as if making a decision.

After a moment, he continued, "If something were to happen to me on the battlefield, it would simply be my fate."

Upon hearing this, Yi Wenjun's heart skipped a beat, and she involuntarily walked up to Xiao Yu, about to offer a few more words of advice.

However, when she met Xiao Yu's determined gaze, she could no longer utter the words of dissuasion she had originally intended to say.

Yu'er is a person with great ambitions, so how could she easily let go of this rare opportunity to add merits and make a name for herself?

Her past with Yun Ge had already made Yu'er suffer ridicule in the court and made her life difficult.

Now, how could she bear to become his stumbling block again?

After hesitating for a long time, Yi Wenjun finally looked at Xiao Yu with a firm gaze, as if she had made a major decision, and said, "Yu'er, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

“I will write a letter, earnestly requesting that my senior brother stay by your side and protect your safety.”

Yi Wenjun's senior brother is Luo Qingyang, the Lone Sword Immortal. After Emperor Tai'an passed away, Luo Qingyang guarded the Lone City of Muliang alone and was the leader of the five great sword immortals of the world.

Now that Baili Dongjun is crippled, apart from Xiao Yu, Luo Qingyang can be considered the strongest fighter in Beili.

Xiao Yu's gaze softened instantly as he looked at Yi Wenjun, and a smile slowly bloomed on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

……

Unlike the unease he felt when entering the palace, Xiao Yu was in an exceptionally cheerful mood when leaving, walking with a brisk pace.

He had only had a sudden inspiration, but he didn't expect Yi Wenjun to be so quick to understand and bring up Luo Qingyang directly.

Today's trip to the palace was definitely worthwhile; I actually managed to snag a sword immortal for free.

However, Xiao Yu's good mood didn't last long, because he saw someone... who wanted to kill him.

At the end of the road, the figures of a group of people gradually became clear.

He was a middle-aged eunuch dressed in purple with a full head of silver hair, followed by several junior eunuchs who escorted him forward.

This person was none other than the Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan.

Jin Xuan has been regretting her decision lately, regretting that she misjudged Xiao Yu and got on his pirate ship. She is constantly thinking about how to completely sever ties with Xiao Yu.

For a fleeting moment, he even considered eliminating Xiao Yu.

Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Jin Xuan paused slightly, a barely perceptible hint of coldness flashing across her face.

He quickly adjusted his expression, forced a stiff smile, and stepped forward to give a perfunctory bow: "Your Highness, the Crimson King."

After the ceremony, Jin Xuan didn't give Xiao Yu a chance to respond at all. She straightened her back and was about to turn and leave.

Xiao Yu's eyes darkened. He didn't say anything, but a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

Just as the two were about to pass each other, Xiao Yu flicked his finger, and a surge of internal energy silently struck Jin Xuan.

Jin Xuan swayed violently, her face turning ashen white in an instant, and she staggered, almost collapsing to the ground.
