Chapter 105 Crisis

"I knew you wouldn't want me to fall." The eldest princess supported his shoulders and stroked his face. "Erdong, when you were serving His Majesty, why didn't I realize you were so beautiful—ah!"

Erdong put her aside as if he had been electrocuted, and then hid far away to drink and eat.

Fortunately, after the princess teased him, she continued to drink with Hu Xiner.

Finally, the scene was over. The eldest princess's dirty hands attacked Erdong unconsciously. She hugged Erdong's waist tightly and didn't let him leave.

Erdong's face was almost on fire: "Let go, stop touching me!"

"Okay~ I'll do as you say~" The eldest princess responded obediently, moving around dazedly. "I won't bother you anymore. Come take care of me tonight, okay? I promise I won't do anything!"

Mu Qing gave Erdong a sympathetic look.

He had already thought of Erdong's ending, but what could he say? After all, it was his wife who sold him out.

"Xin'er, let's go." He helped Hu Xin'er back to the room, and the weight of Hu Xin'er's entire body almost fell on him.

But she was unusually quiet, not making a fuss. She just held him and chattered. Mu Qing leaned in to listen, only to discover that what she was muttering was: "Drink! Imperial Jade Wine, one hundred and eighty per cup!"

Although Mu Qing didn't understand, he thought her blushing and mumbling look was very cute.

I couldn't help but pinch her face: "Why didn't I see that you were a little drunkard before?"

"Hmm?" Hu Xin'er widened her eyes in confusion. "Who's the drunkard? Where's the ghost?"

Mu Qing smiled but said nothing: "There is a threshold ahead, be careful."

"It's such a simple thing, why do I need you to remind me?" Hu Xiner took a step forward and almost tripped.

Mu Qing sighed helplessly, and Hu Xin'er said pitifully, "My husband, a ghost stretched out its leg to trip me, and even conjured up three thresholds!"

"Then what should we do?" Mu Qing almost laughed out loud. It was obvious that he was so drunk that he couldn't even see the road clearly, yet he had the nerve to blame it on the ghost.

His young lady still has the nerve to act pitiful.

Hu Xin'er tried hard to open her eyes: "Let's scold it together, it will know it's wrong and won't trip us up!"

Mu Qing suppressed his laughter and cursed the hateful ghost with her. He finally helped her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"How do you feel? Do you feel like vomiting?" He asked patiently as he sat next to Hu Xiner.

Hu Xiner half opened her eyes: "I'm not pregnant, why would I feel like vomiting?"

Mu Qing thought of the fake pregnancy incident and subconsciously touched her belly.

Hu Xin'er patted his hand: "Why are you so excited? Do you have any common sense? How can you get pregnant so soon? It's not like in the stories where you can get pregnant just by holding hands."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qing noticed that she was not in the right mood and hugged her gently. "Are you feeling unwell, or is it because..."

Hu Xin'er asked sadly, "Mu Qing, do you really want a child? What if I can't give birth?"

"How could that be?" Mu Qing looked at Hu Xiner's expression carefully. Although she was still drunk, her attitude was cautious and extremely serious.

Of course he could fool her, after all, Hu Xiner would be blackouts when she woke up tomorrow.

But when facing Hu Xiner, even in such a situation, he was unwilling to be perfunctory.

"I was malnourished when I was little, and there's a real possibility I won't be able to have children." Hu Xin'er shook his hand. "Will you abandon me?"

"Silly girl," Mu Qing kissed her forehead lovingly, "I was so excited when I heard you had a child because it was your child, the blood of both of us flowing in his veins. He is blessed by you, so how could I not want you?"

"What if something else happens?" Hu Xiner asked relentlessly.

"Your words really hurt me." Mu Qing placed her hand on his heart and said affectionately, "From now on, don't say such things again. Do you still need to doubt my feelings for you?"

Hu Xin'er looked up at him for a long moment, then pulled her hand back. "If you leave me, I'll expand my business and keep you as my gigolo!"

Mu Qing laughed: "Okay, but I will never leave you!"

Hu Xiner then became happy and pestered him for a long time.

Finally, Hu Xiner fell asleep. Mu Qing just blew out the candle when he saw a dark shadow flash outside the house. An assassin broke into the room and rushed towards him!

Mu Qing subconsciously touched the dagger at his waist, but when he didn't feel it, he realized that he had already given it to Hu Xiner.

The assassin's sword was close to him, he dodged sideways, but his arm was still stabbed.

With his skills, he could easily run away and alert the Shadow Guards, and the crisis would be resolved.

But Hu Xin'er was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and he could never abandon Hu Xin'er and run away alone.

Otherwise, the desperate assassin will definitely hurt Hu Xiner!

When he was fighting with the assassin, his mind was racing. Fortunately, since the eldest princess occupied the study these days, Hu Xin'er simply worked in the bedroom and could use the things on the table to interfere with the assassin's movements.

Blood was flowing from his arm and the pain was unbearable, but he remained calm and threw the things on the table at the assassin, fighting a desperate battle with the assassin in the dark room.

The assassin's sword cut off the long hair on his temples. At the same time, he felt a square object in his hand. He threw the inkstone with difficulty, but the assassin knocked it down without blinking.

"Dang!" The sound of the inkstone falling to the ground was not loud, but it was enough to alarm the ears of people who practiced martial arts.

The assassin realized his mistake and his moves became more fierce. He left the goal wide open several times. If Mu Qing had a sharp weapon in his hand, he would have been able to defeat him or seriously injure him.

Mu Qing's dodging became more and more awkward, but fortunately the noise of the fight alerted the Shadow Guards.

Several Shadow Guards rushed in and joined the fight.

Mu Qing, disregarding his own safety, shouted, "Capture this man alive!"

Meanwhile, the assassins were outnumbered and defeated.

"Remove his jaw to prevent poison from entering his teeth." Mu Qing said quickly, covering his injured arm.

The candle was relit, and Hu Xin'er murmured on the bed.

"Xin'er?" Mu Qing called out twice tentatively, and found that Hu Xin'er just turned over and fell asleep again.

Mu Qing felt relieved. Fortunately, the assassin knew that time was urgent and only came for him. Otherwise, if Hu Xiner was taken hostage, the situation would be much more difficult.

At the same time, she was also thankful that Hu Xin'er was drunk and unconscious, otherwise she would have been frightened again seeing him like this.

He could still bear the injury on his arm, but it was hard to coax his wife to stop crying.

Yingyi took out some medicine from his pocket and bandaged his arm.

He looked coldly at the man in black who was half-kneeling on the ground and was being held down by several dark shadows.

The assassin who appeared on the wedding night before flashed through Mu Qing's mind, and he had a hunch that they were in the same group!
