Chapter three hundred and eighty second ruthless treatment
Mu Jingyan lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
"Wan Ning, I'm sorry..."
"Don't be stupid, it has nothing to do with you."
Shangguan Wanning smiled faintly, which made Mu Jingyan even more guilty.
"No, it has something to do with me. If my brother wasn't trying to save me, he wouldn't have to be threatened by the Queen Mother. You have married him and lived a happy life..."
Shangguan Wanning's heart sank.
It turned out that what Mu Jingrui said that day was true.
Once upon a time, Shangguan Wanning had been obsessed with wanting to know the reason why Mu Jingrui suddenly regretted his marriage.
But time has changed, what can we do if we know now? Many things are different, and they will never go back to the beginning.
"Maybe, this is God's will."
In the last life, she was not Mu Jingrui's wife, but his concubine.
Neither of them spoke anymore, and in the quiet night, they slowly waited for the passage of time.
Mu Jingrui opened his eyes in a daze and glanced around.
He saw Mu Jingyan lying on the chaise longue and asleep beside him...
Shangguan Wanning lay on the edge of the bed, her eyes closed, her long eyelashes covered her eyelids, and her delicate and small face looked a little haggard.
Mu Jingrui's heart suddenly felt warm.
No matter how heartless the Shangguan Wan said on her mouth, her heart was still towards him.
Mu Jingrui was even more reluctant to give up on her.
He couldn't help but stretched out and gently stroked Shangguan Wanning's face.
"Um……"
Shangguan Wanning felt her cheeks being touched, so she rubbed her sleepy eyes.
When she met Mu Jingrui's deep eyes, she suddenly lost all sleepiness. She was about to shout in surprise, but Mu Jingrui's index finger was placed on his lips and made a move to silence.
He pointed at Mu Jingyan who was asleep, and smiled and held Shangguan Wanning's hand again.
As long as she could watch her quietly like this, she would feel very satisfied.
Shangguan Wanning took Mu Jingrui's pulse. His physical condition was quite stable, which made her breathlessly relieved.
Thinking of Sun Jinyao who was running around outside, Shangguan Wanning's heart hurt a little and wanted to pull her hand back.
Mu Jingrui increased his strength and held her hand and placed it on his chest.
At this time, a nanny walked in with an anxious expression and whispered: "Princess, you have been tired all night, why don't you... go back to your room to rest?"
Shangguan Wanning read some unusual aura from the tone of the nanny.
"What's wrong?"
The nanny seemed a little difficult to speak, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Mrs. Mu is here. If she sees you here... it will probably cause unnecessary misunderstandings and will not be of any benefit to you, so..."
Shangguan Wanning understood that the nanny had good intentions.
She got up and was about to leave, but was caught by Mu Jingrui. "You are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission."
"Brother, are you awake?"
Mu Jingyan opened his eyes when he heard the noise and saw Mu Jingrui awakening and was surprised and happy.
but……
The atmosphere seems to be wrong.
Mu Jingrui did not respond to her joy at all. His dark eyes just stared at Shangguan Wanning. No matter how hard Shangguan Wanning struggled, he did not want to let her go.
"Mu Jingrui, what are you going to do?" Shangguan Wanning scolded in a low voice.
"No leave." Mu Jingrui's voice was weak, but his attitude was very firm.
"Your wife is here and let her see me here. Then... even if you don't care about other people's gossip, should you take into account her feelings?"
"I only care about how you feel."
Mu Jingrui knew that Yin Yuxiang was a hurdle that Shangguan Wanning stepped through in her heart.
"Hey, you two..."
Before Mu Jingyan could finish his words, Yin Yuqing had already walked in with her personal maid.
Seeing Shangguan Wanning and Mu Jingrui holding hands together, she instantly stiffened and her mind was blank.
"Sister-in-law..." Mu Jingyan gritted his teeth and greeted him, "Wan Ning is here to heal my brother..."
"No need to explain."
Mu Jingrui interrupted his sister and looked at Yin Yuqing. "I won't have anything to do with Ning'er taking care of me. You can go back."
Yin Yuqing came to her senses and tears immediately surged into her eyes.
She was worried about Mu Jingrui's safety, unable to sleep or eat, and prayed day and night; but she never expected that Mu Jingrui kept Shangguan Wanning by her side to replace what she should have done.
"Mu Jingrui, do you treat me as your wife?" Yin Yuqing asked crying.
Shangguan Wanning didn't want to be the fuse between them and their wife, so she forcibly shook Mu Jingrui's hand away and wanted to escape from this place.
Yin Yuqing blocked the door and was not allowed to pass Shangguan Wanning. "Don't you think you should stay and make the words clear?"
"I……"
"Okay, then make it clear."
Mu Jingrui forced himself to get out of bed in one breath, walked to Shangguan Wanning's side, but his eyes were fixed on Yin Yuqing.
He waved his hand to send off all the servants and said calmly: "Since you entered the door, I have no husband and wife. I have only Ning'er in my heart, you should understand. Whether you accept it or not, you should accept it.
, One day Ning'er will come in."
"Mu Jingrui, what are you talking about?"
Shangguan Wanning looked at Yin Yuqing's pale face and felt that Mu Jingrui was too cruel to her.
Yin Yuqing felt that she had been greatly humiliated, so she raised her hand and was about to hit Mu Jingrui.
Mu Jingrui grabbed her wrist.
Yin Yu's love couldn't help but cry like rain.
"Mu Jingrui, you are so cruel."
After saying that, he shook Mu Jingrui's hand away and covered his face.
"Uh... I'll go to the kitchen to see if the medicine has been boiled."
Mu Jingyan noticed the atmosphere was abnormal. She didn't dare to look in front of her brother's eyes, so she walked out in shame.
Only Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wanning were left in the room.
"Ninger..."
"Stop talking. Mu Jingrui, it's impossible for me and you to do so."
Shangguan Wanning turned around and was about to leave. Xiao Yujue knocked on the door and walked in, his face pale, as if he was very uneasy.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Shangguan Wanning asked carefully.
"Just just heard from the palace that my father was seriously ill and had just vomited blood not long ago. Now, all the civil and military officials in the court are worried."
Xiao Yujue was also very worried.
The emperor may die at any time.
If he did not stand by the bed, if there was an inexplicable "noble order" after the emperor passed away, he would not only not be able to ascend the throne, but he would probably not even be able to save his life.
"Your Highness, it seems that it's time for us to prepare."
Mu Jingrui and Xiao Yujue exchanged glances with each other, and both of them knew it well.
"Calling the day, even if everything goes well, it will take at least four days for Brother Yao to come back." Shangguan Wanning also looked solemn, "Your Highness, I'll go home and listen to what my father says, try to find out the palace as much as possible."
