Shangguan Wan Ning was instantly desperate, exhausted both physically and mentally, and leaned limply against the door.
She couldn't just watch Mu Jingrui die like this.
If it weren't for saving him, he wouldn't have to suffer like this. What's more, he still has a bright future.
"You eat first, and then I'll go see the old monster."
For some reason, Sun Jinyao felt vaguely uncomfortable in his heart when he saw Shangguan Wanning being devastated by Mu Jingrui.
After he finished speaking, he walked out and came to the yard. He saw Lu Xiangzi pouring himself a drink.
Sun Jinyao sat down opposite Lu Xiangzi, took the wine glass and said lightly: "Mu Jingrui's death will not do you any good."
"It's not good for me if he doesn't die." Lu Xiangzi simply picked up the whole bottle of wine and drank heavily, "But you...you have no friendship with him at all, but you stole my antidote and took advantage of it.
Leave it to him when we take over the fight. Do you know that based on this alone, I can kill you right away."
Sun Jinyao put down his wine glass and crossed his arms over his chest. "Don't forget, a large number of Mu Jingrui's men are still guarding outside the valley. After all, he is an official of the imperial court. If something happens to you, you will be in big trouble.
."
Lu Xiangzi ignored Sun Jinyao at all, humming a song while holding the wine bottle, and staggered toward his room.
Shangguan Wan stayed at Mu Jingrui's side for the entire night. She watched as Mu Jingrui's aura became weaker and weaker, and he gradually calmed down.
Even if you are a villain once, you have to fight again.
"Ning'er..." Mu Jingrui opened his eyes and saw the haggard Shangguan Wan Ning, with a smile on his lips. He gently raised his hand and stroked Shangguan Wan Ning's face, "Have you not slept all night?"
"I'm fine." Shangguan Wan Ning pressed Mu Jingrui's hand, and the warmth from her palm made her eyes moist.
"Ning'er, listen to me, now..."
The door was pushed open, interrupting Mu Jingrui's words.
Lu Xiangzi walked in with lazy steps, went to Mu Jingrui's bed and took a look, and said with a half-smile: "You have a lot of internal energy, you can survive until now. But... the time is almost up.
, if you have any last words, please tell me quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
"The Deer Divine Doctor..." Shangguan Wan Ning's nose was sore and she was a little flustered.
"Since I dare to enter the cave, I am prepared to die. However, you must keep your promise, otherwise... I will not let you go even if I turn into a ghost." Mu Jingrui looked at Lu Xiangzi with burning eyes.
This look made Lu Xiangzi restrain his cynicism. He pondered a little, hummed softly, put his hands behind his back and walked out.
Shangguan Wan Ning calmed down Mu Jingrui's emotions and hurriedly chased after him.
"Doctor Deer, please..."
"Girl, do you really want to save him?" Lu Xiangzi turned around and looked at Shangguan Wan Ning.
Shangguan Wan Ning was startled and nodded firmly.
"Would you pay any price?"
"yes."
"Okay," Lu Xiangzi said, taking out a purple pill from his sleeve, and said, "I always have conditions when saving people. This is the antidote to save that kid. I can give it to you..."
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at the antidote, her eyes moved, full of joy.
"But don't be too happy too early. My condition is..." Lu Xiangzi paused and said, "You die."
Shangguan Wan Ning's expression suddenly changed.
"You two, only one can live. Choose."
Shangguan Wan Ning was in a state of confusion.
She finally lived her life again, and she understands the preciousness of life better than anyone else.
There are many things she hasn't done yet; there are many people she still can't let go of. How could she let go of her life if she were to give up so easily?
"What? You still think your own life is more important, right?" Lu Xiangzi laughed, "Everything about life and death is all a lie. It's a pity that this kid will try his best to save his life for you, you...
…I’ve let people down.”
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart twitched violently several times.
In the three years of his last life, Mu Jingrui never smiled at her, but she couldn't deny that it was his protection that allowed her to survive.
No matter in her past life or this life, she owed Mu Jingrui.
She recalled the scene in the cave where Mu Jingrui knew there was danger but still risked his life to protect him.
Shangguan Wan Ning took a deep breath and said, "As long as Divine Doctor Deer is willing to save him, my life will be yours."
"no."
Before Lu Xiangzi could speak, Mu Jingrui walked out with difficulty, holding on to the wall.
His face was gloomy, he walked up to Shangguan Wan Ning and looked at her seriously.
"Shangguan Wan Ning, I saved your life and it belongs to me. Only I am qualified to decide your life or death."
Mu Jingrui looked sideways at Lu Xiangzi and said coldly: "I don't need your help."
"Do you think I care about saving you?" Lu Xiangzi said with disdain on his face, "You have a tough mouth now, and it will become poisonous in a while, but you have to beg me."
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat. Listening to what Lu Xiangzi said, would it be very painful when the poison takes effect?
"Miracle Doctor Deer, we..."
"Um……"
Shangguan Wan Ning heard Mu Jingrui snort. She turned around and saw Mu Jingrui's hands clutching his chest tightly, his expression twisted in pain.
Poisoned?
Shangguan Wan Ning hurriedly went up to support Mu Jingrui. She could see with her eyes that Mu Jingrui's face was turning dark rapidly.
"Jing Rui? Jin Rui..." Shangguan Wan Ning was worried. She looked at Lu Xiangzi pleadingly, "Mr. Lu, I agree to any of your conditions. Please save him..."
Lu Xiangzi pondered for a long time, and he secretly observed Mu Jingrui. Even though he was tortured by the poison, he couldn't bear to speak.
Such willpower was the only one he had ever seen in his life.
"He's right. He saved your life, so it belongs to him. Let me change the terms of exchange."
Lu Xiangzi's words gave Shangguan Wan Ning another kind of worry.
"What conditions?"
At this time, Sun Jinyao happened to come over.
Lu Xiangzi pointed his finger and said, "You want to marry him."
"What?" Sun Jinyao stopped, frowned, his face turned slightly red, and he was a little angry, "When did I say I wanted to marry her?"
"No." Lu Xiangzi said with a smile, "Look, you don't want to marry, but she doesn't want to marry. It's just right."
What is the logic?
Shangguan Wan Ning simply couldn't laugh or cry.
"Don't even think about it..." Mu Jingrui endured the severe pain and forced out three words through his teeth.
It would be better for him to die if Shangguan Wan Ning were to marry someone else to save him.
"You are such a fool." Lu Xiangzi pointed at Mu Jingrui and mocked, "She can save your life by marrying now; if you die, she will still marry someone else. You can do the math for yourself.
What’s best for you?”
"It's another thing for her to marry after I die; but as long as I live, I will never let her be another man's wife." Mu Jingrui held Shangguan Wan Ning's hand tightly.
