After Mu Jingrui sobered up, he found himself sleeping in the room. He was in a daze, as if he remembered someone carrying him back.
Who is it?
"Are you awake?" Chu Xiaolian came in with clear water and handed the wrung towel to Mu Jingrui, "Pull your face, I'll go to the kitchen to get you some millet porridge."
Mu Jingrui did not reach out to pick her up, but just glanced at her indifferently, walked straight to the side, buried her face in the basin.
After a long time, he raised his head from the basin and asked in a low voice: "You sent me back last night?"
"Um."
Chu Xiaolian responded softly, and Mu Jingrui slowly walked towards her. The strong sense of oppression made Chu Xiaolian's heart tremble involuntarily.
"Don't follow me in the future." Mu Jingrui's voice was very soft, but it revealed coldness and ruthlessness.
Chu Xiaolian nodded.
"go out."
Chu Xiaolian put down the towel and walked out without saying a word.
Mu Jingrui was still worried when he remembered what happened yesterday. He walked to the window and looked at the blue sky, and his thoughts became even more firm.
The 30,000 troops he mobilized had arrived, but there was no need to fight.
Mu Jingrui selected three thousand people from them and escorted Brother Shu Yan to the capital as soon as possible.
He knew that he could not stay here for a long time and had to go back and report to the emperor, but before leaving...
Shangguan Wanning personally decocted the medicine for Sun Jinyao in the kitchen. Her thoughts were always in a daze, and the sadness and disappointment of Mu Jingrui turning and leaving constantly emerged in her mind.
"Don't think about it anymore..."
Shangguan Wanning advised herself and walked to Sun Jinyao's room with the medicine. When she reached the corner, Mu Jingrui suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
She was shocked and fell down as she loosened her hands.
Mu Jingrui lowered his head and took it, and the medicine bowl fell into his palm without any leakage.
"Thanks……"
Shangguan Wanning wanted to get it back, but Mu Jingrui turned around and left, saying, "Come with me."
He had no expression on his face and his body was filled with a sharp chill, which made people unable to refuse.
Shangguan Wanning hesitated a little and followed him into his room.
"What's the matter with Lord Mu looking for me? I'm going to... well..."
Before Shangguan Wanning finished speaking, Mu Jingrui hugged her, lowered her head and forced her to kiss her lips.
She was anxious and angry, struggling hard, clenched her fists and hit Mu Jingrui's chest.
But her strength was as light as a feather for Mu Jingrui. His arms tightened and his kisses became deeper, which made her breathless.
Gradually, Shangguan Wanning lost the courage to resist, and she gradually calmed down and leaned quietly on Mu Jingrui's chest.
After a long time, Mu Jingrui let her go and roared: "You are not allowed to marry Sun Jinyao."
Shangguan Wanning's temper immediately surged into her heart.
"Mu Jingrui, who do you think you are? You regret your marriage first, and you are not allowed to marry someone else. Who are you? Why should I listen to you?"
"I said that I had no choice but to marry Yin Yuqing. In short, give me time and I will use the eight-carrying sedan chair to marry you."
"I don't care what the reason for you are. I only know that you didn't come on the day of marriage; afterwards, I didn't marry anyone else. Even if you really have the difficulties, just pretend... we don't have the fate."
"Fate? I don't believe in these things at all. I will not let others get involved in the woman I admire Jingrui's desire. Whether you love me or hate me now, in short... you can only be mine."
Shangguan Wanning stared at Mu Jingrui in a daze.
She seemed to see the tyrannical King of Zhennan in her previous life.
No...not that.
She spent so much effort to not want Mu Jingrui to become like that.
"I have promised to marry Brother Yao. As long as he gets better... I can't let him down..."
"Then if he doesn't get better, don't you have to marry?" Mu Jingrui pushed Shangguan Wanning away, "I'll kill him now."
After Mu Jingrui said that, he turned around and walked out.
Shangguan Wanning did not doubt his current ability and determination at all.
"Mu Jingrui, as long as you walk out of this room, I will die here."
Mu Jingrui stopped and turned around, and saw Shangguan Wanning pulling out her hairpin and pressing it against her throat.
"Don't force me..."
Mu Jingrui calmed down completely.
His eyes were violent and vicious, and he became sad and desperate, and even his eyes were red.
"Can you really die for him?" Mu Jingrui's voice became hoarse.
Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath, and the tears slowly oozed back into her eyes. "Then I owe him..."
Mu Jingrui was really worried that Shangguan Wanning would hurt him, and he did not dare to do anything that would cause her emotional fluctuations.
"Put down your hairpin..."
Shangguan Wanning did not let go, but just walked out step by step.
She walked to the door, turned her back to Mu Jingrui and said, "Jingrui, I hope you remember what you promised me. Whether I am by your side or not, you must live well. Don't hurt me at any time
Family…”
Shangguan Wanning's words reminded Mu Jingrui of every happy time they had when they fell in love.
He watched Shangguan Wanning's figure disappear, and when he looked at the bowl of medicine left behind, he immediately burst into anger. He waved his arm and pushed the bowl of medicine to the ground.
The night is dim, a crescent moon hangs in the sky, the bright moonlight falls, and the ground seems to be covered with a layer of gauze.
Huo Gang was about to go to bed when he heard a light knock on the door.
"Who?" Huo Gang opened the door and saw the person coming, and was surprised, "Princess? Are you...what is there to ask me for so late?"
Brother Shuyan smiled at Huo Gang. "Of course there is something wrong. Why? Let me stand outside and talk?"
Huo Gang was a little hesitant. After all, it was late at night and it was probably against etiquette for the lonely man and widow to live in the same room together.
Before he could finish his thoughts, Brother Shuyan walked over him and walked directly into the room.
"Princess, is there something wrong?"
"I'm going to set off to return to Beijing tomorrow, so let's see how your injuries are recovering."
Huo Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a feeling of sorrow appeared in his heart. "It's nothing serious."
"Brother Huo, you will also go back to the capital, right?"
"Yes. The young lady has saved me and I have to repay her with the help of her. Moreover, my sister is still in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Then do we still have a chance to meet again?" Brother Shuyan asked softly.
Huo Gang was stunned and shook his head with a wry smile. "It should be gone."
Both of them fell silent.
After a long time, Brother Shuyan stared at Huo Gang and said, "Brother Huo, you saved my life more than once, I'm afraid... I won't have a chance to repay you in the future. So, tonight, I want to repay this kindness."
"Princess, no need, let's talk about it..."
Before Huo Gang finished speaking, Brother Shuyan had quickly untied his clothes.
