"Your Majesty." Chu Wanxiang said with a faint smile, "You are done talking. Can I take a walk with you?"

Chu Mobei glanced at Chu Mohan, nodded and said, "Okay."

Chu Wanxiang took Chu Mohan's arm and pushed him slowly toward the lake. Chu Mohan's legs were inconvenient, so he had to rely on her to push him. Chu Wanxiang turned his head and asked: "Brother, I remember

You hate water, so why are you sitting on a boat and admiring the moon today?"

"Because, I'm afraid." Chu Mohan said, "I'm afraid of water."

"So that's it." Chu Wanxiang sighed, "Brother Huang, did you ever drown in water when you were a child?"

"Once. It was winter, we had just moved to this mansion, and our family was poor. In order to save money, my mother-in-law bought me clothes, shoes and socks, and climbed mountains to collect herbs every morning to earn money, so I rarely had the opportunity to go out and play.

Later, it snowed heavily. I was playful and hid in the bushes to watch the lanterns, but fell into the water and drowned." Chu Mohan lowered his eyes, his voice was low and hoarse, "From then on, I never wanted to swim again, let alone

Don’t talk about taking a boat.”

Chu Mobei glanced at her and seemed to notice that his mood swings were a little too big. He touched her hair apologetically: "Xiangxiang..."

"Brother Emperor," Chu Wanxiang shook his head, "It's all over. Let's forget everything we should forget."

Chu Mobei nodded.

"Brother Emperor..." Chu Wanxiang hesitated for a moment and called him softly, "Are you really planning to marry her? You know, this is a trap."

Chu Mobei stopped and looked at her intently.

Chu Wanxiang looked at him calmly: "If I were you, I would never agree."

Chu Mohan's lips moved: "But, I can't let her down..."

Chu Wanxiang pursed his lips, and his eyes flashed with a dark light of painful struggle.

"I... will protect you." Chu Mohan reached out and held her hand, "You stay in the palace, I won't let anyone touch you."

"What about her?" Chu Wanxiang asked, "Don't you care about her anymore?"

"She is already a concubine and has nothing to do with me. Besides, she doesn't love me at all." Chu Mobei's eyes dimmed, "I can't let her ruin my life."

Chu Wanxiang gritted his teeth: "Since you insist so much, then I respect you. But..."

"No need to say it." Chu Mohan interrupted her and changed the subject, "You haven't eaten yet? Let's go eat first and talk about it later."

Qiulan had been taken down, and Chu Mobei held her hand: "You are so hungry. Come on, I will take you to eat."

He took her to a remote courtyard, which was the palace specially reserved for Chu Mohan by the emperor.

The furnishings in the room are simple, with no other decorations except for a few clothes and a bed. Even the tables, chairs and benches are made of wood, which shows that they are not luxurious.

Chu Mobei said: "I'm not used to dining in the palace, just make some random dishes."

"Okay." Chu Wanxiang took out the food box. The food box was small but exquisite. There were four or five dishes of shredded vegetables and pork in it.

"You can eat it." Chu Mobei said, "You just woke up not long ago and you need to replenish your body."

Chu Wanxiang handed him the chopsticks and drank the soup from a bowl.

"You don't want to eat?" Chu Mobei looked at her in surprise, "We have been separated for a year and a half, how do I know what you like to eat now."

"I'm full." Chu Wanxiang said.

Chu Mobei looked at her empty food box and frowned, "Did you not eat much?"

"Yeah." Chu Wanxiang said frankly, "I can't get a word in when you talk, and I don't have the appetite."

"Fool." Chu Mobei rubbed her head, "Don't be so thin."

Chu Wanxiang smiled slightly: "I am not very thin. But you, the longer you grow, the taller you are."

"I'm not fat."

The two chatted for a while. After the meal, Chu Mohan asked, "What are you going to do?"

"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth." Chu Wanxiang said, "Brother, I will find someone to heal your leg as soon as possible. Then you should stop taking care of government affairs and focus on recuperating."

Chu Mohan smiled: "Okay." After a pause, he asked again: "What were you busy with while I was asleep?"

"I'm checking the year

The assassination case."

Chu Mohan's expression changed slightly: "Don't you have any clues about the assassin back then?"

"Not yet. I'm checking. There will always be clues." Chu Wanxiang comforted him, "Don't worry about recovering. I will rescue you and reunite our family."

"Xiangxiang!" Chu Mohan suddenly grasped her wrist and said excitedly, "You mean, you will definitely save me, right?"

Chu Wanxiang looked at him blankly. Seeing his eager and anxious expression, he couldn't help but frown. What was this man nervous about?

"Brother Emperor, don't scare me, I..."

"No, it's not." Chu Mohan said in despair, "Xiangxiang, don't lie to me, tell me, you will definitely save me, right?"

Chu Wanxiang hesitated: "Of course I will save you, brother Huang..."

"I don't want you to save me!" Chu Mohan interrupted her sharply and let go of his hand, "Did you hear that? You are not allowed to save me, otherwise I would rather die!"

"You're crazy!" Chu Wanxiang glared at him, "You don't want to live anymore?"

"Yes, I'm crazy." Chu Mobei murmured, "I'm just going to die. You can't save me, and there's no point in living for me. I don't want to live anymore, and I don't want you to save me."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chu Wanxiang was furious and stood up suddenly.

"Don't get excited... Xiangxiang..." Chu Mobei quickly grabbed her, "I didn't mean to make you angry..."

"Your Majesty..." Qiulan timidly came in. She waited outside until there was no movement inside before she dared to come in and report. Who knew she would see such a scene...

Chu Wanxiang waved Chu Mohan away with a palm and scolded sternly: "Get out!"

Chu Mohan staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground. Qiulan was frightened and panicked to support Chu Mohan: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, how are you?"

"Get out!" Chu Mohan pushed Qiulan away, "I tell you to get out! Get out!"

Qiulan was extremely frightened: "Your Majesty, forgive me..."

"Get out!" Chu Mobei roared, "Get out!"

"Get out..."

Chu Wanxiang couldn't help crying. She had never seen him like this before.

Chu Mobei covered his ears and squatted on the ground, trembling all over and his eyes were red.

Chu Wanxiang hugged his knees and sobbed: "Brother Emperor... I won't let you die, I won't allow it..."

Chu Mohan suddenly looked up at her, his eyes as red as blood, and said word by word: "Xiangxiang, if you don't want to marry me, then divorce me."

Chu Wanxiang suddenly froze.

She didn't expect him to say this.

Husband...

She looked at him in shock. His expression was cold, and he stared at her for a moment, as if he were looking at a stranger.

Tears flowed from Chu Wanxiang's eyes, and her fingertips became cold. She stood up slowly and retreated to the door. She understood that he did not want her to save him. He hated her for abandoning their mother and son, and he blamed her for not staying.
