News of the destruction of the concentration camp spread back to the capital, shocking the whole court.
Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Yue both had pale faces.
"Is there any news about Princess An Ning?"
Of course Xiao Yujue understood the moods of Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Yue at this moment.
Shangguan Wan Ning is the darling of these two people.
"No... no..." The soldier who came back to report was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and replied tremblingly. "When the government officials arrived at the concentration camp... it was already a scorched earth. All the people in the concentration camp were found on the nearby mountains.
The patient...none of them survived..."
The four words "No one will survive" pierced into Mu Jingrui's heart like a sharp blade.
He hated himself for not being firmer and not letting Shangguan Wan Ning leave the capital.
Nowadays, rumors and rumors are spreading among the people, spreading rumors.
People are saying that the concentration camp was destroyed this time because all the patients in the concentration camp were infected with the infectious disease. In order to prevent further spread, the imperial court killed everyone.
"Your Majesty, I want to go to the concentration camp to investigate the truth of the matter."
Mu Jingrui made the request in the court hall.
In fact, at this juncture, Xiao Yujue did not want Mu Jingrui to leave the capital.
He always felt that this matter was not that simple.
However, Xiao Yujue understood how much Mu Jingrui cared about Shangguan Wan Ning, and those who forced him to stay might not be able to keep his heart.
"Precisely." Xiao Yujue ordered at the same time, "I give you the right to act expediently, and you can mobilize any local troops at any time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mu Jingrui couldn't wait to turn around and leave. When he looked at Shangguan Yue, he gave Shangguan Yue a reassuring look.
This gave Shangguan Yue a little more comfort.
Mu Jingrui rushed to the concentration camp without stopping, and the place was already surrounded by people sent by the government.
As the local memorial said, the concentration camp is in ruins.
Mu Jingrui checked the nearby terrain, and then went to the official village to identify the burnt corpses.
His heart was trembling violently, and he couldn't tell whether there was Shangguan Wan Ning among so many mummies.
Mu Jingrui's face was pale and expressionless, and he never said a word from beginning to end.
This left the accompanying prefect and officials at a loss. No one knew what this black-faced god-like King of Zhennan was planning.
Mu Jingrui stood in front of the mummies for a whole day. The feet of those who accompanied him were numb, but no one dared to raise any objection.
"Prince Qi, someone from outside... sent a wedding invitation."
The yamen servant walked in cautiously, and his voice sounded particularly loud in the quiet Yizhuang.
A sharp light flashed in Mu Jingrui's eyes.
This made the prefect tremble with fright, and he hurried forward to grab the big red wedding invitation, and scolded: "You don't have eyes... and you don't even look where this is. Get out!"
The yamen servant was eager to see this, so he greased his feet and turned around to sneak away.
The prefect turned around and saw Mu Jingrui looking at him, swallowed his saliva, and threw the wedding invitation away.
When the invitation was raised in the air, Mu Jingrui saw the name on the wedding invitation.
He jumped up and caught the wedding invitation in the air.
The name written on it made his pupils involuntarily dilate.
"Sun Jinyao and Shangguan Wanning have formed a good relationship and sincerely invite Mu Jingrui to the banquet alone."
The time is tonight.
Mu Jingrui closed the wedding invitation and asked, "Where is Wutong Village?"
The prefect was slightly startled.
"Wutong Village...Twenty miles east of the city is Wutong Village. However...it has been abandoned for a long time. The previous owner was confiscated and exterminated by the previous emperor, so it became a haunted house..."
"Ready your horse."
Mu Jingrui didn't care about this. He only knew that if he could rescue Shangguan Wan Ning, he would have to break into the underworld.
When Mu Jingrui arrived at Wutong Village, it was sunset.
He led the horse and stood at the entrance of Wutong Village.
The high-hanging plaque is wrapped with red silk and satin, and the door is pasted with dazzling red 囍 characters.
A gust of evening breeze blew, and the red silk swayed gently with the breeze, adding a bit of desolation and weirdness.
Mu Jingrui pushed open the door of Wutong Villa, and what he saw was still the festive decoration.
However, the fallen leaves all over the ground made it a bit more desolate.
Mu Jingrui slowly walked in with his sword in hand, and a familiar flute sound came from the front hall.
He came to the front hall and saw Sun Jinyao wearing a groom's suit.
The sound of the flute stopped suddenly.
The two looked at each other.
A faint smile appeared on Sun Jinyao's lips.
He put the flute aside and stood up proudly.
"Are you surprised that I'm not dead?"
"It's definitely a bit of a surprise."
"I invited you here today because I want to treat you to a wedding drink. I think... letting you send Ning'er to get married will save you a lot of trouble in the future."
"Where is Ning'er?"
"When the auspicious time comes, I will let you see the bride. Before that, I think you and I should talk clearly."
Mu Jingrui also agreed with Sun Jinyao's statement.
Shangguan Wanning was engaged to Sun Jinyao. If she hadn't thought that Sun Jinyao was dead, maybe...
"After tonight, Ning'er will be my wife. I will take her away and fly far away, and will no longer care about the affairs of the world or the court. I hope the prince will stop pestering my wife."
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly, but his thoughts were full of things.
"The person Ning'er loves is me. Don't force her. Do whatever you want before you give up Ning'er. As long as you say it, as long as I can do it."
Mu Jingrui is very aware of Shangguan Wan Ning's feelings for Sun Jinyao.
He can kill Sun Jinyao with one sword, but...
He had to admit that Sun Jinyao and Shangguan Wanning had also experienced life and death. Even if there was no love between men and women, they still had the love of brother and sister.
"Unless I die...otherwise, I will not give up on her."
Sun Jinyao's attitude was very firm, which gave Mu Jingrui a headache.
"No room for negotiation?"
"No."
"Then there's nothing more to say." Mu Jingrui has never been a groveling person, "Sun Jinyao, if you insist on doing this, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword."
Sun Jinyao smiled softly and remained calm.
"I know that you, like me, love each other deeply and are absolutely unwilling to be separated except by life and death. Since neither of us is willing to compromise, then... leave it to God to decide."
Sun Jinyao stared at Mu Jingrui and smiled: "Do you dare to take a gamble with me?"
"How do you want to bet?"
"I feel that if any of us wants to spend the rest of our lives with Ning'er with peace of mind, it would be best if one of us dies. So..."
Sun Jinyao pointed to the two cups on the table. "There are two cups of wine here, one is poisonous and one is non-poisonous. Let's choose one cup each, and decide whether we live or die. Those who survive can marry Ning'er and grow old together.
, stay together for life.”
