"Do you want to leave by yourself or do you want me to carry you away?"
Mu Jingrui stood there without moving, and he could see Shangguan Wanning's deliberate dodging.
Shangguan Wanning felt ashamed and struggled to push Mu Jingrui away, but was hugged and locked in her arms by Mu Jingrui.
"What are you doing? Let go..."
"Don't move." Mu Jingrui whispered, "Don't force me to do irrational things."
He endured the torment of lovesickness every day. Now, his beloved is leaning on his chest, but he can only try his best to suppress his inner desire.
"I'll send you back. I will assist you in investigating the matter of the Imperial Doctor. Don't take risks alone. Not every time I have the luck like this today."
Mu Jingrui gently pulled Shangguan Wanning out of her arms and stretched out her hand to caress her face.
The temperature transmitted from his fingertips made Shangguan Wanning feel a little immersed.
She nodded involuntarily.
Mu Jingrui raised Shangguan Wanning and took a small path back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He tried his best to slow down, hoping that the road would be longer and longer.
None of them spoke along the way. Shangguan Wanning looked at Mu Jingrui's side face, and remembered the past when they had been through life and died together in this life, and couldn't help but feel sad.
She carefully stretched out her arms, quietly hugged his neck, leaned against his shoulder, and felt his breath.
Maybe, this is the last time that I have had such a close contact?
"Mr. Mu..."
Just as Shangguan Wanning was immersed in it, a servant-like man came running towards her and stopped in front of Mu Jingrui panting.
"It can be considered to have found you."
Shangguan Wanning wanted to get off Mu Jingrui's back, but Mu Jingrui had no intention of letting her go.
"What's up?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince just received a message from inside. The emperor was furious about Lord Shangguan's cover of his wife and had issued an order to arrest him. Now the Imperial Guard has set off. Your Highness the Crown Prince said that there are other important things to follow you.
We will discuss and ask you to go to the Prince's Mansion immediately."
"What?"
Shangguan Wanning was shocked, her mind was blank for a moment, and her body was trembling slightly.
"Don't worry." Mu Jingrui turned around and comforted her softly, then said to the servant, "I understand. You go back first, I'll arrive soon."
The servant looked at Shangguan Wanning curiously and wanted to say something, but when he looked at Mu Jingrui's sharp eyes, he immediately lost the courage, and turned around and left after saluting.
"My parents and the others..."
"Ning'er, you will meet the Imperial Guard when you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Since the emperor issued an order to capture your parents, you will definitely include you. You are just going back now. It's better to find a place..."
"Mu Jingrui, let me down."
Mu Jingrui hesitated a little and put her down.
"No matter what, I must go back. You have nothing to do with my Shangguan family. I don't want to implicate you, so don't follow me."
After saying that, he endured the pain and walked forward.
She walked out of the alley alone and found that Mu Jingrui had really not followed her, so she couldn't help but feel sad.
It turns out that they are really alienated and no longer have the interdependence of life and death in the past.
Shangguan Wanning endured the sadness and accelerated her pace to rush back.
The gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was already surrounded by people watching the fun.
Everyone was full of curiosity. As the head of all officials, Shangguan Yue would be arrested by the emperor and seize the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shangguan Wanning kept pushing away the onlookers and squeezed in, and happened to see her parents and a group of servants being taken out by the Imperial Guard, including Lu Xiangzi and Sun Jinyao.
The leader of the Imperial Army ordered his subordinates to put a seal on the gate and said to everyone: "Shangguan Yuegui is the prime minister, but he knows that the law is violated and instigates his wife to murder the son of the King of Qin, and he deserves the crime."
"But now Shangguan Yue's only daughter is escaping. If someone knows her whereabouts, she will report to the prefect of Jingzhao and reward one hundred taels of silver; if she can be arrested and sent to the yamen, reward two hundred taels of silver."
Shangguan Wanning's thoughts were in chaos. She couldn't accept that she was fine when she went out. Now suddenly the entire Shangguan family became a sinner.
She should not be a fugitive, she must explain it clearly to the emperor.
At this time, the Imperial Guard pushed Mrs. Shangguan heavily.
Shangguan Wanning was furious and was about to rush forward when she suddenly saw her father looking in her direction.
The two of them looked at each other, and Shangguan Yue shook his head gently.
Shangguan Wanning immediately calmed down.
Now she only has one Li Siniang in her hand. Although she can prove that Shangguan Xiaoxiao's miscarriage has nothing to do with her mother, Li Siniang is just a slave and was once a slave in the prime minister's mansion.
She was a little slight, and even if she came to the emperor, she was not convinced.
Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath and her thoughts became much clearer.
Now, only she can continue to investigate the truth in the Shangguan family. How could she fall into the trap?
She bit her lips tightly, held back tears, and watched her parents and servants be taken away by the Imperial Guard.
Shangguan Wanning reluctantly squeezed out of the crowd and stumbled into the alley.
She warned herself that she had to be calm, and the most important thing at the moment was to find the green tung and find a place to stay.
Suddenly, Shangguan Wanning saw someone walking towards her from the corner of her eyes. She subconsciously tightened her nerves, took a deep breath, and pretended to leave as if nothing had happened.
Unexpectedly, the two of them blocked her way, one after another.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"Princess Anning, you are now wanted by the court, and you are everywhere. You should not run around, lest you be in danger."
Shangguan Wanning watched the two people approaching little by little, and she was forced to retreat to the corner.
"As long as you go back with us obediently, my master promises that you can survive."
"Who is your master?"
"Princess Anning will naturally know when she goes."
"What if I don't go?"
Now is an extraordinary period, how could Shangguan Wanning leave with strangers?
"Then...you can't help."
The two men's faces darkened, and they reached out and grabbed Shangguan Wanning's wrist.
A figure flashed past, blocking Shangguan Wanning and shook the two men back.
"Jing Rui?"
Shangguan Wanning was both surprised and happy, and a ripples of grievance appeared in her heart.
The two men exchanged glances with each other, turned around and ran away.
Mu Jingrui didn't chase him, turned to look at Shangguan Wanning, and asked softly: "Is it okay?"
"Aren't you leaving?"
"Who said I'm leaving?"
"You obviously... didn't follow you."
Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wan and lowered her head, as if she saw the girl who had relied on him everywhere before, and immediately felt soft-hearted.
"I have always followed you. If you don't let you see with your own eyes, how could you give up?" Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning's hand and said, "Let's go, find a place for you to settle down, and then make a long-term plan for other matters.
