Su Qingluan recalled that when she first met Mu Xingzhi, she was worried that such a graceful man might die young. Now she thought that she was just too sweet. This man seemed to be a drama queen.

So now when Su Qingluan smelled the strong smell of medicine, her first reaction was "This guy is acting again."

Of course, she still had to act ecstatic outside - after all, her "looking for husband" persona couldn't fail.

"Shouldn't you be 'unknown whether you are dead or alive, and your whereabouts are unknown'?" As soon as the door closed, Su Qingluan's face was filled with surprise and excitement when she saw her "long-sought" husband appear in front of her.

Mu Xingzhi watched Su Qingluan's expression change as if she were flipping through a book, and sighed, "Qingluan's acting skills are becoming more and more outstanding, and she is able to control her emotions more freely."

Su Qingluan gave a forced smile: "Thank you for the compliment, husband. It's all thanks to you being here." She wouldn't let Mu Xingzhi change the subject so easily now. "So how long will you be 'sick' this time?"

"Until the emperor dies." Although he was clearly his father, Mu Xingzhi spoke as if he were an unrelated person.

Su Qingluan originally had some joking in mind, but the words "Emperor's death" completely destroyed her. That's right, the person in front of her definitely didn't want a place to settle down, but...

Seeing that Su Qingluan was silent, Mu Xingzhi turned his head and looked at her: "Qingluan, don't worry, everything will be over soon."

Su Qingluan lowered her eyes quickly after being told this by Mu Xingyi, and then felt a little annoyed: What on earth was she dodging? It looked as if she was guilty because she had been told what she was thinking!

hateful!

"I'm not worried about my own safety!" Su Qingluan said unconvincedly, "I haven't been involved in your life-threatening fights, and any one of those six people outside can protect me."

Mu Xingzhi was not surprised at all that Su Qingluan noticed that the four people who came later were also his people - it would be better to say that from the very beginning, Mu Xingzhi deliberately let those people reveal some flaws for Su Qingluan to notice.

In fact, he also understood that according to Su Qingluan's character of "as long as you don't cross the bottom line, everything is fine", this level of concealment would only result in "a bit of anger", but for some reason he still tried his best not to deceive the person in front of him.

This subtle feeling was so fleeting that Mu Xingzhi couldn't even grasp the reason. But looking at him looking at Su Qingluan, perhaps she herself didn't realize that the "worry" in her eyes that Mu Xingzhi mentioned was not for himself, but for him.

It was very strange. Mu Xingzhi had met women who were attracted to him before, but even though Su Qingluan's feelings were so obvious, she refused to admit it. Every time he tried to tease her, the woman in front of him would either avoid the question or refuse to admit it. This made Mu Xingzhi doubt: Is it shameful to fall in love with him?

Especially under the premise that the two are already "husband and wife", this avoidance and denial seems even more strange.

What exactly was she avoiding? Mu Xingzhi was curious.

Su Qingluan's awkwardness at having her secrets exposed lasted only a moment before she returned to normal. She looked up and switched to work mode and asked, "What should I do now?"

The blush on her face from when her secrets were exposed had not yet faded, but she asked him in a businesslike manner what he needed to do. Mu Xingzhi looked at Su Qingluan in front of him and always felt that her current appearance... was inexplicably more attractive.

"Why are you looking at me?" Being looked at by Mu Xingzhi's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts was really a test of one's mental strength. Su Qingluan couldn't help but clench her fists: It was not that she wanted to beat Mu Xingzhi, but it was really hard not to feel psychological pressure under such a gaze.

"Nothing..." Mu Xingzhi retracted his gaze. "Although 'Mu Xingzhi' has been found, his life is hanging by a thread, so it's normal for him to be bedridden all day."

Mu Xingzhi's words seemed confusing, but Su Qingluan understood the other party's implication: since he was bedridden, it was reasonable and natural not to see outside visitors.

Su Qingluan understood that this guy was going to use the two things of "serious illness" and "praying" to get rid of the two identities and do something else.

She had a lot to say at once, but in the end she asked softly, "Are you... sure you can win the final victory?"

She herself did not have any deep obsession with supreme power and glory, because standing at the other end of the long river of history, Su Qingluan understood that even if it was a temporary victory, it would not matter. Any dynasty would collapse in just two or three hundred years.

So instead of fantasizing about eternal prosperity, she is more interested in studying food and drink and making some money.

However, she also admitted that having a clear-headed ruler would be beneficial to her overall money-making environment. For this reason alone, Su Qingluan hoped that Mu Xingzhi could take the throne even more.

After all, he would not be so foolish as to capture the people's children and "sacrifice" them to the alchemists, nor would he let the people do things like draining the pond and bearing a tax rate of more than 60%.

Of course, Su Qingluan didn’t believe that Mu Xingzhi was truly kind-hearted—a person who was too kind could never become a leader.

However, even if it is based on pure profit, it is not a wise move to exhaust all the fish.

Mu Xingzhi looked at Su Qingluan: "I thought Qingluan was not interested in these things."

Su Qingluan thought of the old emperor's behavior and complained in a bad way: "You can at least be better than this one! Don't let someone even more bizarre be brought up. I still want to do business properly and make money to build big ships to go out to sea!"

Mu Xingzhi never thought that this was what she was worried about. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "In that case, then I... will try my best not to let more 'weird' people take the position." After being together for such a long time, Mu Xingzhi also understood that the "weird" that Su Qingluan mentioned was not the same as the "weird fairy grass" he knew.

"Hey... I hope everything will be over soon," Su Qingluan looked at the roof with dissatisfaction, "Fortunately, your father is in poor health, so he can't cause any big trouble..."

It was too early for her to say that!

Although the old emperor was becoming increasingly frail and was said to be unable to stand, once a person's will to survive was aroused, he would often burst out with amazing energy.

And if this person happens to hold the power to dominate a country, it would be even more terrifying!

On this day, Su Qingluan, Yan Min and Lu Jinxin were discussing how to promote menstrual pads at "Su Ji". Song Bo suddenly arrived and said that the boss was in a bad situation and asked Su Qingluan to go back quickly.

What concerned Su Qingluan was that he also told the other two people that "the sky is getting overcast and the weather might change", and asked the other two to go back quickly if possible.

But now the sky outside is not cloudless, but it is clear as day. Where does the "cloudy sky" come from?

Su Qingluan looked at Song Bo, but saw that he was unusually anxious, so she turned to look at her two friends: "In that case, you two go home first. I will go see how my husband is doing."

She intuitively felt that Song Bo's "change of situation" might have hidden meaning.
