"You, you know everything?"

"Yes." Mu Yuxi nodded and gently grabbed Nangong Chen's hand.

"Fool, why did you hide it from me? We are husband and wife. We can share joys and sorrows as well. Why didn't you tell me earlier and insisted on carrying it yourself?"

"I just don't want you to worry. Don't worry, I will take care of these things, so don't worry about it anymore."

Pulling Mu Yuxi into his arms with his backhand, Nangong Chen replied dully, but a wry smile appeared at the corner of Mu Yuxi's mouth.

"Handle it? How are you going to handle it? If it was that simple, why did you lock yourself in the room? Don't worry, I have already thought of a countermeasure."

"You, what do you want to do?"

For some reason, Nangong Chen suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw Mu Yuxi's eyes brightening. As expected, Mu Yuxi had already spoken with a faint smile.

"This time they are so big, they are bound to win, so if you want them to fall behind, you must make sacrifices according to their wishes. Since their target is me, then let me take the responsibility..."

"No, I will never agree." Before Mu Yuxi could finish her words, Nangong Chen interrupted her excitedly.

"Even if I fight them to the death, I will never sacrifice you. If I want you to die, unless they step on my body..."

"Chen, your words are enough for me!"

Moved, she hugged Nangong Chen's neck tightly. Mu Yuxi had tears in her eyes, but she still held back the tears. After sniffing, she let go of him and continued:

"But Chen, now is not the time for you to act on your own initiative. You are the emperor. Whether you like it or not, you have the world on your shoulders. You can't be used by those traitors and become what the world calls you just for the sake of temporary affection.

Hunjun. If that's the case, even if I live, I will never have peace and be depressed for the rest of my life. So promise me, just do what I want..."

"No, I still can't do it."

Pulling out his hand irritably, Nangong Chen stood up with a gloomy look. However, Mu Yuxi did not give up, but walked forward and hugged his waist again.

"Chen, just as you want to protect me, in my heart, you are the only one I want to protect. So, show me your courage. I will wait for the day when you destroy the traitor. Even if I die by then,

Now you can smile again..."

After saying what she wanted to say word by word, Mu Yuxi's eyes were firmer than ever before, and that firmness also surrounded Nangong Chen in an instant...

****************************************

Two days later, after many days of fierce arguments, Nangong Chen finally compromised with the leftist party and accepted their proposal to execute Mu Yuxi in accordance with national law. The execution was scheduled to take place three days later.

After receiving this decree, the left ministers were naturally overjoyed. Although the right ministers felt it was unbearable, after all, the facts were there and it was inconvenient to add any further comments. They finally accepted it with a sigh.

After the imperial edict was issued, it was immediately spread outside the palace, so after going to court, Nangong Chen immediately encountered an unexpected uninvited guest at the door of Zichen Palace.

"Come in."

After giving a faint instruction to the purple figure next to him who was covered in cold air, Nangong Chen had already stepped into the palace door first.

"Nangong Chen, why did you do this to her?"
