Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 84 Braiding

While Su Yue was still sound asleep, Mu Yulin had already woken up.

He struggled to sit up, enduring the pain, and instructed Mu Yuhe on the tasks that needed to be handled. After giving his instructions, he fell into a deep sleep again.

When Su Yue slowly woke up and opened her eyes, only Mu Yulin, who was lying on the hospital bed, and Mo Liu, who was standing by the bedside silently guarding her, remained in the room.

Su Yue stretched, rubbed her messy, bird's nest-like hair, and slowly walked to the bedside.

She gazed quietly at Mu Yulin, who was still unconscious. Then, she took out some spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and gently fed it to Mu Yulin.

After confirming that Mu Yulin was alright, Su Yue decided to leave as soon as possible.

After all, the future situation is turbulent and war could break out at any time, and she does not want to be drawn into this conflict.

When Mo Liu saw Su Yue's messy hair, he couldn't help but smile slightly, secretly amused.

He suddenly realized that perhaps only at this moment would Su Yue show a childlike innocence.

Mo Liu gently pulled Su Yue to sit down on a stool, then stretched out his slender fingers and gently combed Su Yue's messy hair.

As her hair gradually became soft and smooth, he began to carefully braid a delicate braid for Su Yue, starting from the top of her head.

Su Yue was surprised to discover that Mo Liu actually knew how to style girls' hair. This made her exclaim that Mo Liu was truly multi-talented!

She stroked her newly braided pigtails with delight, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

Ever since she traveled to ancient times, Su Yue has been troubled by how to style her hair in a suitable way.

When she first arrived, she probably didn't eat well and was somewhat malnourished, which caused her hair to become frizzy. Later, she ate well every day and drank the spiritual spring water, and her hair recovered.

Su Yue herself used to know nothing about hairstyles except how to tie a ponytail with a hair tie. And now she was tying it with a rope, so the ponytail was always loose and didn't look good at all.

However, with Chun Tao's help in combing her hair, she stopped worrying about this problem.

However, Chun Tao wasn't with her on the way to Kyoto, so whenever she had time, she could only tie her hair into a ponytail, or leave it loose, or just tie it haphazardly on top of her head. As a result, it looked messy, like a bird's nest.

"Mo Liu, you braided this hair quite well! Do you often braid hair for young girls?" Su Yue teased playfully, tilting her head.

Upon hearing this, Mo Liu's face instantly turned bright red. He immediately stepped forward and flicked Su Yue on the forehead, saying urgently, "Don't talk nonsense!"

To be honest, it didn't hurt that much, but Su Yue still quickly covered her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't say a word, just stared at Mo Liu with a pitiful expression.

Upon seeing this, Mo Liu panicked. Had he gone too far? How did he make this little girl cry?

She's still young and doesn't understand anything. Why should a grown man like me argue with a child like her? Thinking of this, Mo Liu felt a pang of guilt.

"Don't cry! I shouldn't have hit you. I'll hit you back, okay?" Mo Liu grabbed Su Yue's small hand and hit himself with it.

Su Yue almost burst out laughing when she heard Mo Liu's words. How could Mo Liu be so easily fooled? Luckily, she held back and didn't give herself away.

She decided it was best not to tease him anymore; what if she really angered him? So she pulled her hand away from Mo Liu's and leaned on the table.

Although she tried her best to restrain herself, the thought of Mo Liu's panicked appearance just now made her smile uncontrollably, and her shoulders trembled incessantly.

Seeing Su Yue like this, Mo Liu panicked even more. Oh no, she's crying because of what I did?

It's all my fault for hitting her. Why did I have to hit her? Now look what happened, I made her cry, and I don't know how to comfort her.

He stood there somewhat helplessly, unsure of what to do.

"I told you to fight back, so stop crying. I know where the National Treasury is. If you stop crying, I'll take you there." Mo Liu remembered that Su Yue especially liked to visit the National Treasury, so taking her there wasn't a bad idea.

Su Yue ignored him and secretly smiled.

"Don't cry. If you don't want to go to the national treasury, I'll take you to other places. As long as you stop crying, I'll take you wherever you want to go." Mo Liu squatted down and coaxed her gently.

To be honest, he had never coaxed a child before; this was the first time he had ever done so.

Su Yue composed herself, managed to squeeze out two tears, then looked up, pouting, and asked, "Really? Wherever I want to go, you'll agree to take me?"

Looking at Su Yue's red eyes, Mo Liu felt a pang of guilt, thinking to himself that he was a terrible person for making such a young child cry. So he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Alright then! I'll forgive you this time." Su Yue quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if she hadn't just been crying. Then, she casually said, "I'm hungry."

Mo Liu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly instructed the guards outside to have the food brought over.

Following Mu Yulin's instructions, Mu Yuhe arranged all matters in a methodical manner.

Not long after, one of his men reported that they had found a coffin in a courtyard, but surprisingly, the person lying inside was not the old emperor, but the empress.

If it weren't for the recent cold weather and snow, this corpse would probably have already begun to rot. Looking at her now, the Empress's face appears slightly pale, but an uninformed person might mistake her for simply being asleep.

However, Mu Yuhe's men have been searching for almost a whole day without finding where the old emperor's body was hidden.

Mu Yuhe gradually lost patience and wondered to himself where the Fifth Prince had hidden his father's body.

However, the Fifth Prince has already died, and even if we go to question the Ninth Prince, he may not reveal the truth.

Left with no other choice, they could only increase manpower and continue searching the palace, even if it meant turning over every inch of the land, until they found the corpse.

Otherwise, how could he have tricked the princes who were outside the palace into returning to the palace and captured them all at once?

Only by finding his father's remains could he achieve his and his fourth brother's goals.

Although the Empress was not his and his fourth brother's biological mother, she was a pretty good person, at least she never schemed against the two brothers.

She could be considered a model of virtue for the nation.
