The sky was dimming, Shangguan Wanning lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw the morning sun on the horizon.
She knew that the storm was coming and the wind was blowing.
"Why don't you leave?"
Chu Xiaolian turned the horse's head and came to the carriage, looking at Shangguan Wan Ning with disdain.
Shangguan Wan Ning didn't take it seriously. She got off the carriage and raised her head to look at Chu Xiaolian.
"Do you want to leave?"
Chu Xiaolian was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
"I never thought about leaving. Especially..." Shangguan Wanning looked ahead with a confused look in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "There is going to be a war."
Chu Xiaolian was so anxious that she jumped off the horse. "Since you don't plan to leave, then why... don't you stay with him and accompany him?"
"Do you think it's useful for me to stay by his side? I can neither detoxify him nor help him fight the enemy. Staying by his side only makes him more worried."
"Then you now..."
"I want to go back to the capital."
Regardless of whether Huo Gang brought Lu Xiangzi back or not, Shangguan Wan Ning never thought of leaving the capital.
Although, everything she experienced in her previous life is different from now.
However, she still wanted to stay and help Mu Jingrui.
It's just that she doesn't need Mu Jingrui to know.
"This is a narrow escape. There is no need for you to follow me to death. Disband on the spot and look for a chance to survive on your own. Even if Jingrui finds out about it in the future, he won't blame you."
Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing this.
From the day they followed Mu Jingrui, they had already made up their mind to swear loyalty to him.
"Princess, Muda asked us to protect you and listen to you. No matter where you go, we will follow you."
Shangguan Wan Ning smiled slightly, and without further persuasion, she untied the rope from the carriage and got on the horse.
"Walk."
Everyone returned to their respective positions and followed Shangguan Wan Ning, riding their horses and whips all the way back.
However, things were much worse than Shangguan Wan Ning imagined.
Xiao Yujue's troops have begun to attack the city, and the imperial court has also begun to counterattack.
His behavior completely angered the emperor.
The emperor issued another imperial edict to sever the father-son relationship with him.
Now, for Xiao Yujue, things have become even worse.
It became extremely difficult for Shangguan Wan Ning and others to enter the city again.
"At this time, your Excellency is already outside the city. Why do we need to go in again?" Chu Xiaolian said in confusion, "Just go find him."
Shangguan Wan Ning shook her head.
"It's useless for us to go. I must find my master to save his life."
Chu Xiaolian agreed with Shangguan Wanning's approach in her heart, and the group of people wandered outside the city and observed, looking for a way to enter the capital.
Shangguan Wan Ning was almost desperate.
Do we really have to wait for Huo Gang and others to break out?
At noon, a group of people sat on the leeward slope to rest temporarily.
Suddenly, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard. Everyone dropped the food in their hands and picked up their weapons to prepare for the attack.
"Princess Anning, the eldest princess has sent her subordinates to welcome you back to the capital."
Shangguan Wan Ning took a few steps forward and carefully looked at the guards who came.
Each of them has a sign belonging to the eldest princess's palace hanging on their waist. There doesn't seem to be anything suspicious, but...
"Does Auntie want me to come back?" Shangguan Wanning smiled slightly and said, "She knows me well and knows that I really want to go home."
Shangguan Wan Ning winked at Chu Xiaolian who was about to take action.
Chu Xiaolian slowly pressed back the long sword in her hand with some reluctance.
"By the way, is uncle back? He quietly sent my parents away a few days ago. Is everything okay with him?"
"The prince consort has returned, please rest assured, Princess."
Shangguan Wan Ning smiled and nodded, then suddenly her face darkened and she ordered: "Kill them."
As soon as she finished speaking, the men beside her quickly swarmed up and struck fast and hard.
These people were not sent by the eldest princess's palace at all.
Amidst the light of swords and shadows, Shangguan Wan Ning got on her horse and was ready to evacuate at any time.
She quietly observed the battle situation, and a hidden weapon flew towards her.
She sensed danger, but it was too late to dodge.
A figure flew over and blocked the hidden weapon for her with his body.
The two of them rolled and rolled down the slope together.
Shangguan Wan Ning's body kept crushing the fine stones, and the severe pain made her see stars.
I don’t know how long I rolled, but the back of Shangguan Wan Ning’s head hit a sharp stone hard.
She just groaned, then her vision went dark and she fainted.
In a daze, Shangguan Wan Ning felt a biting chill, and she shivered subconsciously.
She barely managed to open her eyes and found that the bright moon was already in the sky.
The evening breeze blew slowly, and Shangguan Wan Ning's thoughts gradually became clearer.
She endured the severe pain and sat up, looked around and found Chu Xiaolian lying not far from her.
She slowly crawled over, held Chu Xiaolian's wrist and felt her pulse.
Still alive.
Shangguan Wan Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She sat up slowly, pulled out the hidden weapon on Chu Xiaolian's body, sealed the acupuncture points with silver needles to prevent heavy bleeding, then tore off a corner of her skirt and bandaged Chu Xiaolian's wound.
"Um……"
Chu Xiaolian snorted softly and moved with difficulty.
"Are you awake? What do you think?" Shangguan Wan Ning's voice was a little hoarse.
"I'm not dead?" Chu Xiaolian smiled bitterly, seeming a little disappointed.
Shangguan Wan Ning really had no energy left, so she simply lay down next to Chu Xiaolian again.
She looked at the bright moon in the sky and said softly: "I wonder how...Jing Rui is doing at this time..."
Chu Xiaolian said nothing, endless sadness flowing in her heart.
"Why did you risk your life to save me? Don't you...should hate me?" Shangguan Wan Ning turned her head and looked at Chu Xiaolian.
Chu Xiaolian was silent for a long time and then said quietly: "Originally... yes. I don't understand why I wanted to save you. My only thought at the time... he would be sad if you died. I don't want to see him sad.
"
Shangguan Wan Ning was speechless.
Only then did she realize that Chu Xiaolian's love for Mu Jingrui was no less than hers. Even...
Chu Xiaolian paid more for Mu Jingrui than she did.
After resting for a while, Shangguan Wan Ning wanted to get up and check the surrounding environment.
She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Someone is coming."
Chu Xiaolian sat up, protecting Shangguan Wanning behind her, and looked straight ahead.
There is only a jumble of rocks here, not even a place for shelter.
The two could only cling to each other and look warily in the direction of the source of the sound.
A dark shadow came down the slope, walking in their direction, getting closer and closer...
