Today, he was dressed in white again, which puzzled Mu Wanting. Shen Xinglan had been wearing black clothes when he came out, so why had he changed into white clothes so soon?

He had a gentle smile on his face.

“I’ve also captured Jiao Dai’s apprentice. Let me take you to see him.”

Mu Wanting was somewhat surprised, but she went with him and indeed met the man, from whom she learned more details about the antidote.

Shen Xinglan seemed somewhat worried: "Be careful, this poison can harm your body."

Mu Wanting blushed slightly as she thought about their intimate moments.

"OK."

When they returned, Mu Wanting was walking with Shen Xinglan, but another Shen Xinglan dressed in black appeared in front of them.

Mu Wanting was taken aback and glanced at Shen Xinglan beside her.

She was somewhat surprised: "This..."

Shen Xinglan was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with coldness, and she held up the hidden arrow in her hand.

"Stay away from Mu Wanting."

Shen Xinglan, dressed in white, had a smile on her face.

"Xinglan, it's been a long time. I'm your older brother, do you remember me?"

Shen Xinglan frowned and walked towards the white-robed Shen Xinglan, his eyes subconsciously looking at his neck, trying to find if it was a human skin mask.

He rubbed Shen Xinglan's neck with his hand and found that it was real skin.

Shen Xinglan's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Big brother, what brings you here?"

Shen Xingchi smiled and said, "My family has encountered such a hardship, so I couldn't rest easy even in Tatars. Naturally, I came along, and I can help you in some way."

"But you are a hostage..."

Shen Xingchi still smiled: "Do you think there's any need to risk your life for an emperor like this?"

"But don't worry, I've already made all the arrangements."

Shen Xinglan trusted Shen Xingchi. Although the brothers had never met over the years, they would occasionally exchange letters.

Mu Wanting, standing to the side, felt a little shy. This was actually Shen Xinglan's twin brother. She wondered how they could look so alike.

After saying goodbye to Shen Xingchi, Mu Wanting returned to her residence with Shen Xinglan. She took out the medical book and began to read it. Only then did she realize that what Shen Xingchi had just said might mean that Shen Xingchi knew when she was poisoned.

Wouldn't her sexual encounter with Shen Xinglan be discovered?

In that instant, she felt her face flush red.

Shen Xinglan's expression was somewhat unpleasant.

"Mu Wanting, why are you with my brother?"

Mu Wanting said, "I don't know. It feels like he's the one who comes to me every time, except the first time when I mistook him for you."

Shen Xinglan said, "Can't you even tell me apart from my brother?"

Mu Wanting stared at Shen Xinglan for a long while before nodding.

"That's right, I really can't tell the difference."

Shen Xinglan was a little angry. He had been so certain that Mu Wanting loved him before, but now he was not so sure at all.

Especially now that the roads to exile are getting longer and longer.

Shen Xinglan didn't say anything more, and Mu Wanting was too lazy to say anything either.

In the middle of the night, Mu Wanting was called out by Li Wu, who spoke woodenly.

"Murong Rong is already lying in ambush ahead. She wants me to drug you, then have sex with me, and ruin your reputation."

Mu Wanting nodded: "I understand."

After a pause, Mu Wanting continued, "Do you know why Murong Rong always gives me this drug?"

"She wants to ruin you. She said she ruined your marriage with Shen Xinglan before, and now she can ruin you as a person."

Shen Xinglan happened to be outside the door when she heard Li Wu's words.

"who?"

Li Wu remained silent, so Mu Wanting asked him again. Only then did Li Wu recount the whole story to Shen Xinglan.

It turns out that this was not the first time Murong Rong had drugged Mu Wanting. Before Murong Rong and Shen Xinglan got engaged, Murong Rong had also drugged both Mu Wanting and Shen Xinglan.

It was during that time that Shen Xinglan completely lost his affection for Mu Wanting, and he went to the battlefield. Only then did the Prince of Pingxi's mansion arrange for him to marry Murong Rong.

Shen Xinglan's face turned pale: "The person who drugged me was actually Murong Rong."

Moreover, Mu Wanting was also drugged at that time.

Looking at her now, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. He could hardly bear to think about what she, a woman, would have to endure in such a room.

He didn't speak until he got back to his room.

"When you were drugged, how did you get through it?"

A mocking smile appeared on Mu Wanting's lips.

"You've been waiting two whole years for this question, and you've finally asked it."

"But actually it doesn't matter anymore."

Shen Xinglan was somewhat puzzled.

Mu Wanting had a smile on her face.

“Because, since then, I have completely given up on you. Now, I only have a responsibility to you. You help me find my mother, and I will escort your family to the Northwest.”

Shen Xinglan felt a pang of pain in her heart. The thought that Mu Wanting no longer liked her made her feel unsteady on her feet.

Mu Wanting said, "That's fine then. I'm going out to deal with Murong Rong."

Murong Rong had actually been in this inn the whole time. This time, she used a scheme to drug Murong Rong.

Then, the people Murong Rong gathered watched a live sex show between her and Li Wu.

Zhao Zhiyuan's face was extremely grim. He picked up his knife and decisively killed Li Wu with a single stroke. The officials dared not speak, after all, he was the heir of the Yongle Marquis's mansion.

As for Murong Rong, her face was also slashed by Zhao Zhiyuan.

His face looked grim.
