When Mu Jingrui heard Shangguan Wan Ning's voice, his heart twitched. He rushed over and saw Shangguan Wan Ning disguised as a man.
He suddenly turned gloomy and growled: "What are you doing here?"
Shangguan Wan Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Mu Jingrui was safe and sound.
"I'm here to save you. Stop talking and get out first."
When Mu Jingrui saw Shangguan Wan Ning with a billowing smoke behind him, he immediately ordered his men to take the girls out first.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Mu Jingrui felt uneasy when he saw that Shangguan Wan Ning was also helping others to escape first.
"let's go together."
After everyone retreated, Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning and escaped.
This is still the Madam's room, but the fire has surrounded it.
Shangguan Wan Ning finally felt a hint of fear amid the blazing fire and billowing smoke.
She was choked to the point of coughing, and the increasing temperature in the fire made her feel like her hair and vellus hair had been permed and curled.
It’s over, are you really going to die this time?
"Follow me." Mu Jingrui said softly and held Shangguan Wan Ning's hand tightly.
The two were about to rush to the door when a beam fell down.
Mu Jingrui protected Shangguan Wan Ning and threw her down desperately.
The beam fell to the ground against Mu Jingrui's back.
Mu Jingrui felt a sharp pain, but he just snorted softly.
"How are you?" Shangguan Wan Ning grabbed Mu Jingrui's arm, thinking a lot.
This man always looked cold to her on the outside, but when it came to life and death, he could protect her with his life.
Last life...
Shangguan Wan Ning's eyes were a little moist, and Mu Jingrui turned over and pulled her up again.
The exit is blocked.
"Will we die here?" Shangguan Wan Ning's heart was filled with despair. She thought she could have a different counterattack life after rebirth. Who knew...
"I won't let you die." Mu Jingrui looked up and said, "Hold me tight."
Shangguan Wan Ning couldn't guess Mu Jingrui's intention, so she obediently opened her arms and hugged him, placing her cheek against his chest.
Mu Jingrui took a deep breath, gathered his true energy in his palm, and struck the roof with all his strength.
The roof, which had no support from the beams, was the weakest point. After a gap appeared, Mu Jingrui jumped up with Shangguan Wan Ning in his arms and jumped out of the sea of fire.
The two of them landed on the ground, and someone immediately came to greet them.
"Miss, are you okay? Miss..."
Shangguan Wan Ning's consciousness was a little blurry. She just grabbed Mu Jingrui's hand tightly out of instinct. She turned her head slightly and vaguely saw Mu Jingrui's deep eyes staring at her.
"Jing Rui..."
"Miss, are you finally awake?"
When Shangguan Wan Ning opened her eyes, she found that she was already lying in the room.
Lutong stood by the bed and waited, looking at her with concern.
"Why...why am I at home? I clearly remember..." Shangguan Wan Ning forced herself to sit up.
I just moved slightly, but there was burning pain in many places on my body.
Luluo immediately ordered the little maid to bring a pillow and put it on her waist.
"Miss, you... oh! You were carried back from Yingchun Tower. Although not many people know about it, the master lost his temper. But no matter what, you can rest in peace and recover first."
Shangguan Wan Ning remembered all the scenes, her heart sank, she grabbed Lu Tong's hand and asked: "I was carried back... then... where is Jin Rui?"
Lutong shook his head blankly. "I don't know much about this, either."
"Lutong, help me find out..."
"You can't even protect yourself, and you still think about others."
Although Shangguan Yue was very angry, he was still concerned about his daughter's injury after all. He went down to the court to check, and as soon as he entered the room, he heard Shangguan Wan Ning's words, and his face turned livid with anger.
"father……"
"Don't call me dad. I don't have a daughter as unruly and willful as you who doesn't understand etiquette." Shangguan Yue glared at Shangguan Wan Ning angrily, "You are getting bolder and bolder, and you even dare to mobilize my secret guards without permission.
.Do you know how serious the consequences will be if you accidentally fall into the trap."
Shangguan Wan Ning also knew that it was too risky for her to do this.
However, she believed that doing so was worth it. With the experience of her previous life, she could be sure that the person in power in the future would definitely be Prince Xiao Yujue.
If you don't stand on Xiao Yujue's side, the entire Shangguan Mansion will face the disaster of annihilation in the future.
"Dad, it's my daughter's fault, don't be angry." Shangguan Wan Ning still remembers the heart-wrenching scenes from her previous life.
At that time, it was her insistence that caused so many people in the family to be harmed. Even now, before those things happened, she still felt that she owed her father.
Shangguan Wan Ning endured the pain and got out of bed, knelt down in front of her father, and gently shook her father's clothes.
"Dad, my daughter won't dare to do anything anymore."
Shangguan Yue felt heartbroken when he saw his beloved daughter covered in scars.
He sighed deeply and motioned for Lutong to help her back to the bed, his tone still serious.
"Let me ask you, why are you doing this? For Mu Jingrui? When the Mu family was in decline, he came to propose marriage, but you refused to marry, why now..."
"Dad, my daughter secretly mobilized secret guards to rescue Yingchun Tower this time, not just to help Mu Jingrui, but also those poor innocent people trapped in Yingchun Tower. And..."
Shangguan Wan Ning waved her hand and signaled Lu Tong and all the maids to retreat.
"Dad, my daughter is just a prostitute and does not understand the major affairs of the government. However, my daughter still has a little bit of insight into people. My daughter feels that... the second prince... is not a good man or a wise king."
Shangguan Wan Ning's last two words were spoken very softly, but they hit Shangguan Yue's heart like a heavy hammer.
Now that the situation in the DPRK is clear, many people are on Xiao Zhenting's side. Even if Xiao Yujue is the prince, they still have to give Xiao Zhenting some points.
The influence of the Shangguan family and the Zheng family in the court are intertwined, and which side they stand on may change the direction of the wind at any time.
Shangguan Yue was originally undecided. He discussed with his father-in-law that if Shangguan Wan Ning really fell in love with Xiao Zhenting, then he would support Xiao Zhenting in his promotion.
"Ning'er, why did you suddenly...haven't you always liked His Highness the Second Highness?"
Shangguan Wan Ning shook her head firmly. "Dad, you don't have to influence your judgment for me in the court. I don't like Xiao Zhenting. If I don't like it now, I won't like it in the future."
Shangguan Yue looked at his daughter's eyes and vaguely felt that there was something different, but he couldn't tell specifically.
"You should have a good rest. We will talk about other things later."
Shangguan Yue walked out of Shangguan Wan Ning's room thoughtfully, and met Shangguan's wife head-on.
