When Meng Yunzheng left Prince Kang's Mansion, the dawn had already appeared in the distant sky. The entire imperial capital was shrouded in green mist. His figure was surrounded by the thick fog and disappeared in an instant. His coming and going were like the invisible wind.

Mu Kaiwei sent Xia Xiu and Xia Xiang back to their room to rest. Although she herself had not slept all night, she was still quite energetic. In the past, when "Six Fans" was on duty, it was common for her to stay awake for several nights while ambushing outside. Now, it was just a piece of cake for her to stay up all night.

When she returned to the bedroom, she thought that the injured and disturbed Prince Kang should be fast asleep. She lifted the bed curtain and took a peek. He was indeed lying flat, but his eyes were still blinking at her, as if he had been waiting for her.

Mu Kaiwei glanced at the inner couch that he had left empty. The space was so large that two of her could lie down there. He only occupied the edge of the bed, which reminded her of the day after their wedding. She woke up refreshed and saw him curled up on the edge of the couch and almost fell to the ground. The feeling of pity that seemed to have collapsed in her heart surged up again.

Without much hesitation, she blew out the light, took off her shoes, got on the bed, drew the bed curtains, and then straddled his body and lay down inside.

As soon as she lay down, the man next to her suddenly lay on his side facing her.

Mu Kaiwei naturally looked towards him. In the dim light, Prince Kang's eyes were a little hazy, and his lips trembled.

"Weiwei...we're reconciled, right?"

Mu Kaiwei was speechless for a moment.

Because she didn't answer immediately, the man looking at her said with a slightly tense voice, "Weiwei doesn't count as having defeated me, so you can't leave me. Even if you do defeat me one day, I won't leave you."

If I beat you, we'll divorce.

What Mu Kaiwei said to him in the carriage that day was not her true feelings, but she could feel that such a simple sentence blurted out made Prince Kang extremely concerned.

She recalled what her master Feng Qingcheng had told her in the small abode tonight, about the process of him being poisoned and having the poison removed, how he had transformed his physique like undergoing a marrow cleansing and muscle strengthening exercise, and how he had been on the brink of death several times. How much pain had he experienced?

If he gave up his status as Prince Kang and stayed away from the capital and the court, his life might be much easier. But if he really gave it up, how could he feel at ease?

"Don't tell me to shut up. You've been asking me to shut up all night." Fu Jinxi looked a little depressed.

"I have something in my mind, and I want Your Highness to help me solve it." Mu Kai pursed his lips to suppress his smile, his tone calm.

"Okay, ask!" As long as she paid attention to him, he would be happy. Besides, she hadn't turned against him or denied the idea of reconciliation, so that meant she agreed, didn't it?

Mu Kaiwei also rolled over to lie on her side facing him and asked slowly, "That night you sneaked into my room and I attacked you with nets, hidden weapons, and blades, even startling my father and my brave uncles. I've always been curious about what you were thinking, Your Highness. When I opened my eyes, you were standing by my bed, motionless. What were you thinking about?"

Fu Jinxi looked at her for a long time, then his eyes flickered slightly and he smiled shyly.

"What did you say?" Mu Kaiwei saw that his lips were slightly open. He clearly spoke, but the sound seemed to be held between his lips and teeth. She didn't hear clearly, and her body naturally moved closer to him.

"...drug." Fu Jinxi sighed, "Then I want to drug you. Senior Feng has made a powder. The amount is only as small as a fingernail. Once it enters the body, it will make the person fall into a deep sleep. The breathing and heartbeat are stable, but the person will not wake up."

"Your Majesty wants to drug me?"

"Yes. Just blow the powder under your nose. It's very simple."

"But why did you give me that drug that puts me into a deep sleep? You—" Mu Kaiwei's words suddenly stopped, his eyes widening as a flash of light flashed through his mind. "…the granddaughter of the Zhu family and the daughter of the Minister of Rites, you… you drugged them both. That's why, as soon as the marriage was arranged, the woman would fall into a strange sleep-deprived illness, causing the two old ladies to cry and beg the emperor to revoke his decision."

Fu Jinxi replied softly, "Once the Emperor rescinds his order, I will administer the antidote, and the two ladies will naturally regain consciousness."

"Then the prince naturally confirmed the title of 'the evil star' time and time again." Sigh.

His lips curled slightly. "With my status, I'd be in the Emperor's sight. Marrying any girl would only be a burden to him. I don't want to commit sin... That's what I originally thought."

"original?"

"Hmm." He nodded, his eyes fixed, intent on gazing deep into yours. "I didn't expect you to choose me as your princess. I thought I'd just sneak up on you and drug you, like I did twice before, so you could also bolster my reputation as 'The Evil Star'..." The curve of his lips deepened. "But that night, when I sneaked up on your bedside, I held the drug in my hand but hesitated to move. I knew I had to do it, but in my heart, I didn't want to. I couldn't bear to let it go."

Mu Kaiwei's heartbeat grew louder, and he bit his lip and asked, "What is there to be reluctant about?"

He didn't answer immediately, but instead studied her features intently and carefully. After a while, he said, "Ms. Lin didn't want me to implicate the Mu family, let alone get close to her only daughter. I was doing a good job and never got close to her. I just watched from afar...

"I know you like to go horse racing in the Liuhu area. I also know you can play the piccolo. Your father taught you. Every time you go to Liuhu to pay respects to your mother's grave, you play flute music for her. It's beautiful, and I wish someone could play the flute for me. And every month at a fixed time, you would buy food and brushes out of your own pocket to paint the children in the slums of the north city, and you would even personally teach them martial arts. Several of the most capable men in the Six Gates today came from the slums.

"And... and the winter before last, in order to catch a villain who targeted prostitutes, skinning and dismembering them in all sorts of ways, you disguised yourself as a girl from the 'Nuanyue Pavilion' and laid in ambush for a whole month. Later, you were kidnapped by that villain. I was running fast in the night and lost track of you for a while. I was so scared that I almost lost my nerve. Weiwei... I'm not brave enough to stand up to being scared. Don't scare me like that again...

"And... by the way, I also know you like the red bean steamed cakes from Granny Liu on East Street. Old Man Liu has been bedridden for years, and the family relies entirely on his wife selling red bean steamed cakes to support them. Every time you go there, you always buy two large baskets and treat the detectives from the Six Gates to a snack..." At this point, he couldn't help but lick his lips, as if he was greedy. "Weiwei... next time you go out to buy steamed cakes for someone, please leave a few pieces for me, okay? I want you to treat me to a snack, too."

Now she is the Princess of Kang, and she is using his prince's money in a legitimate way. She treated him to a meal with his money, but he said that he wanted her to treat him. Mu Kaiwei felt a little hot in the eyes for some reason.

Fu Jinxi was silent for a moment, then spoke again in a softer tone. "Weiwei, I've been watching you like this forever, watching you laugh heartily at those around you, watching you beat up the bad guys with such majesty, watching you gallop in and out on horseback, so cool and adorable. I thought I'd be watching and guarding you like this for the rest of my life, and that would have been fine. But the Emperor and the Empress Dowager... they gave you to me, allowing me to freely enter your life, and suddenly... I suddenly can't bear to let you go. There's no way back. I just want to be closer and closer.

"Weiwei, I'm so selfish. You're not the girl I like, so I don't want you. I also think I'm thinking about others and don't want to drag others down. However, once I meet someone I like, I become selfish and reckless, and I drag you into it. So you can be angry with me, annoyed with me, beat me, and even want to strangle me, but I won't let you go." Because he is a selfish bastard through and through, he admitted it.

Tears flowed from Mu Kaiwei's hot eyes. Because he was lying on his side, the tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, wetting a small area on the couch.

She said softly, "I heard from Master that in the years since you returned to the Imperial Capital, you've done a lot of things under the Emperor's nose. You want to go against him, and you have to keep looking at me. Your Highness, you keep yourself so busy, don't you feel tired?"

Fu Jinxi clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, not daring to reach out to wipe her tears, fearing that getting too close would ruin the hard-earned atmosphere of reconciliation.

"It's because I look at you that I don't feel so tired." He pursed his lips shyly. "When I see you, I always feel happy."

"I don't like it..." Mu Kaiwei wanted to speak, but his throat choked.

This unintentional pause immediately made Prince Kang's facial features tense up, and his eyes narrowed as if in pain.

"You, you don't like me...I..." Her voice sounded like she was about to cry.

Mu Kai adjusted his breath and said again: "I don't like it that the prince sneaks into women's boudoirs at every turn. Look, you sneaked into the boudoir of the eldest daughter of Zhu Ge's family, and also sneaked into the boudoir of the daughter of the Minister of Rites. Both of them are famous ladies in the imperial capital. You go in and out of their boudoirs and must have seen them sleeping. Then...then you must think that my boudoir is full of traps and every step is dangerous. Maybe you also think that their sleeping faces are more beautiful and delicate than mine. I don't like that..." Her heartbeat quickened, but her voice became softer and softer.

"I didn't!" Fu Jinxi suddenly sat up as if struck by lightning.

As a result, he moved too fast and felt a sudden sharp pain in his chest, as if the aftereffects of the Xuanyin Palm were released again. He gasped, sat up, and fell down again the next moment.

"Fu Jinxi!" This time, Mu Kaiwei sat up in shock and leaned over to look at him. "Are you okay? How do you feel... ah?!" He grabbed her hand that was caressing his chest.

"Weiwei... Weiwei..." She widened her long, not narrow, eyes, her expression anxious yet stubborn. "I don't think they're pretty, I haven't considered whether they're elegant or not. I go in and out of their boudoirs only when absolutely necessary, but I like your boudoir. It's wonderfully full of traps, every step so thrilling, and being greeted so repeatedly by you, I duck and scream, yet my heart is filled with wonder and joy. You... you don't like me sneaking into other women's boudoirs, so I'll never do that again. I swear, from now on... from now on, I'll only enter your boudoir, only for you. Okay? Weiwei, okay?"

What does "coming in and out only for you" mean?

Mu Kaiwei felt both amused and annoyed after hearing his words. Her ears felt hot, and then tears came. The new wave of tears was really inexplicable. She had always advocated shedding blood rather than tears, but she was really crying too much in front of Prince Kang.

It turned out that he had been secretly watching her for so many years, silently guarding her from afar or near.

Wasn't it because her mother had done a great favor to his Prince Kang Mansion that he fell in love with her, but rather that he fell in love with her naturally?

What about him?

Behind all that unstoppable pity, is there no pure affection between men and women?

From the first time she met him, "Black Master San", to later learning his background, all the experiences of fighting and getting along with him came to her mind, joy, anger, sorrow, surprise, panic, and layers of warmth like waves, soaking her head, and even her heart was wet, warm, painful, bitter and sweet, and she didn't know what to do.

So... this is love, right? You fall in love with someone without even realizing it.

"Weiwei, stop crying. Just beat me up. That way, both of us will feel better." He sighed deeply, but didn't forget to clarify. "I asked you to beat me up, not you to beat me up. Let's make this clear first." He was still afraid she'd use the excuse of "beating him up" to force him to leave.

"Fu Jinxi, don't say anything." Her voice became even lower.

Prince Kang sighed again, "I know, you want me to shut up again." Unexpectedly, his princess said -

"Open your mouth."

...Instead of shutting up, he was told to open his mouth? He was startled at first, but driven by instinct, he couldn't help but open his lips obediently.

His eyes widened instantly, and his pupils flickered, because his wife's pink face suddenly leaned towards him.

He felt the woman's soft breath coming towards him, warming his entire face, and felt their noses lightly touching. He finally understood why she wanted him to open his mouth. Her small tongue found a way to squeeze in between his open lips, sweeping across his teeth and touching the inner walls of his mouth and his tongue.

Before, he didn't even dare to wipe her tears, but now he had to take action even if it meant beating him to death!

Unable to bear it any longer, he suddenly opened his arms and hugged her. Even though his chest was hurting, he didn't care whether it would make the injury worse. He just pressed her tightly against his chest.

He held her lips and tongue and savored them carefully. Sometimes she would be obedient and cling to him, and sometimes she would suddenly make trouble for him and bite his mouth lightly or heavily. He caught up with her and probed into her warm and moist little mouth. His cool breath merged with hers. He, who had no unique smell, finally got a hint of cool and sweetness. It was her body fragrance, her breath.

Helpless, dizzy and dazzled.

After finally embracing his beloved in his arms, Prince Kang suddenly felt an emptiness in his dantian and couldn't raise his true energy.

"Weiwei... Weiwei..." Looking out, the things were blurry. His voice was filled with anxiety and annoyance, but he was still unwilling to let go.

"This prince and you... want to be... a real couple..."

Hey, it was all her fault. She shouldn't have bothered him at this time. Mu Kaiwei was also a little annoyed and wanted to laugh.

Master Feng Qingcheng had clearly instructed that Prince Kang, after the second round of silver needles, needed to rest and regulate his Qi, not to use his true Qi, and not to become overly emotional. But then, Senior Brother barged in and caused a disturbance, and now she was causing trouble for him too...

Holding his cold face, Mu Kaiwei felt full of apology and pity.

She reverently kissed his head, his phoenix eyes, and the tip of his handsome nose, then the corners of his mouth and cheeks, and finally leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Your Highness, I'll wait for you."

Prince Kang had suffered countless disasters and injuries since he was a child, but none of them were as severe as this one. He wanted to jump up and shout for joy, thinking that this injury was too good to be true.

Of course, such words as "It feels so good to be hurt" can only be expressed wildly in his heart and cannot be spoken out loud. If his princess heard it, she would be annoyed again.

His princess. His... Hehe, hehe, well... although it hasn't been finalized yet, it will be soon. Soon, after he recovers from his injuries and regains his mental and physical strength, it will be time for the two of them to "get married."

In fact, he felt that today was a great opportunity.

He lay on the couch for nearly three days, and had to let Feng Qingcheng give him acupuncture every day. Until today, the blood drawn by the silver needles was bright red. When he sat cross-legged and circulated his Qi, the tendons and acupoints of his Ren and Du meridians became relaxed and unobstructed, and the blockage in his chest was gone. He finally turned into a lively flying dragon again.

Around noon, Aunt Lan and Old Xue were busy in the kitchen, one was talking to Chief Steward Shao in the front hall. Xia Xiu and Xia Xiang were guarding outside the master's main courtyard. In the small hall of the main courtyard's bedroom, in addition to Prince Kang who had gone to bed and continued to make trouble, and Princess Kang who had finally agreed to reconcile with him some time ago, Feng Qingcheng was also present.

"It was just a minor blow from the Xuanyin Palm. You're so useless! Even after repeated acupuncture and medication, it took three or four days to recover." Feng Qingcheng was known for her venomous words, especially when directed at Prince Kang. It wasn't directed at him personally, but rather at her disdain for men. She treated all the women around her kindly, even offering verbal instruction on the two martial arts maids she had just met.

Fu Jinxi didn't care at all about Feng Qingcheng's contemptuous expression. He pulled down his wide sleeves and took back his hand, whose pulse had just been taken by the other party, and looked at Mu Kaiwei beside him with a smile.

On this side, Mu Kaiwei, after carefully observing her master Feng Qingcheng's unique method of taking and diagnosing the pulse, was trying to feel her own pulse on her wrist with one hand. Noticing the man's gaze, she subconsciously looked back and suddenly met Prince Kang's beautiful phoenix eyes. Her heart skipped a beat.

"Weiwei, Senior Feng said I've recovered. Even though it took three or four days, I'm finally recovered." The emphasis in his words was on the word "recovered." "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

My Lord, I'll wait for you.

Mu Kaiwei understood what he meant and her ears turned red. She couldn't believe that he was trying to tease her in front of her master Feng Qingcheng.

"What are you waiting for this kid for?" Feng Qingcheng cared about his own closed disciple, so he naturally asked him clearly.

"Yes, Weiwei, you said that day that you would wait for me, but I didn't quite understand. What do you want me to do after I recover?" Prince Kang was definitely "adding insult to injury".

Mu Kai blushed slightly and gritted his teeth. He suddenly made a move with his hand placed under the mahogany carved table, reaching out to pinch Prince Kang's waist. The next moment, he was counterattacked. His small hand was intimately entangled by the man's five fingers and tangled in the wide sleeves that were wide enough to hide his sight.

Prince Kang, whose energy and spirit had fully recovered, had no intention of letting go easily. She could only clear her throat and say to Feng Qingcheng, "Father, I am waiting for him... Wait until he recovers and practice martial arts with me."

Fu Jinxi looked at Feng Qingcheng and nodded happily. "Yes, Senior Feng, I accompany her and she accompanies me. I practice with her, and this is how I can practice martial arts to perfection."

Seeing his master frown suspiciously, Mu Kaiwei didn't bother to refute Prince Kang anymore and changed the subject, asking, "Where will the children of Left Censor-in-Chief Zhou's family be sent to eventually? They've been relying on the mute woman to take care of them these past few days, but we can't let them stay in Master's backyard forever. The current situation is uncertain. If the Zhou family really can't hold on, arranging a place for the children as soon as possible will greatly reduce the risk of them being found."

When talking about the two children of the Zhou family, Fu Jinxi stopped teasing her, and the five fingers in his sleeves no longer clasped tightly, but slowly stroked the back of her hand, as if to reassure her.

"You answer this question yourself." Feng Qingcheng pointed at Prince Kang and curled her lips. "Anyway, you're definitely the one who's most likely to cause trouble."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Fu Jinxi was used to being scolded, so he grinned indifferently.

Ignoring Feng Qingcheng's heavy snort, he turned to Mu Kaiwei and said, "Old Madam Zhou has asked me to send the child south. There are distant relatives of Old Madam Zhou in Chang County, which is close to the sea in the south. Although they are distant relatives, they are in close contact privately. Now that I have recovered, I will personally send the child off."

That's right. Mu Kaiwei felt a surge of warmth in his chest. After all, one must be loyal to someone who has entrusted them with a task. At such a critical moment, sending the two children to the person designated by Old Lady Zhou would be a way of living up to their trust.

Unexpectedly, Prince Kang seemed to think over and over again, and after a long pause, he finally said resolutely, "Weiwei, after all, the Zhou family's affairs are extremely urgent, and we can't...how about I send the child south and take care of all the trivial matters, and then we can practice martial arts together properly? Practice hard for seven or eight days, okay?"

What a great size.

Compared with the possibility that the entire family of Left Censor-in-Chief Zhou would be executed, how could the matter of her and him... "practicing martial arts together" be considered important?

She sighed inwardly, not knowing what to say to him. She could only comfort herself that at least he knew his priorities and after much hesitation, he still knew that he had to send the two children to the person designated by Old Lady Zhou.

She shook his hand firmly and said, "I will personally send the Zhou family's child to the family where he is being cared for."

"No!" Fu Jinxi immediately rejected her request. "We don't know what we'll encounter on the way. Once we get to the south, we won't know the enemy's true identity for a while. It's hard to predict what's good or bad. You should stay at Prince Kang's mansion."

Mu Kaiwei said without thinking: "How can I feel at ease if you act alone?"

Hearing these words and seeing the true feelings in her eyes, Fu Jinxi grinned like an idiot.

Feng Qingcheng, who was standing by, felt uncomfortable with the two little ones, so she coughed loudly to call back the attention of Prince Kang and his wife.

"I have something else to tell you, and I'd better let you know in advance." She pulled a square handkerchief from her bosom and slowly spread it out before them. "That day, the cruise ship on the Luoyu River was attacked, and the princess was taken back to the palace and changed her clothes. This is a token for me to leave behind after I practiced in your wet clothes."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jinxi and Mu Kaiwei turned around and stretched their necks to look, and saw that the handkerchief was wrapped in a pile of colored powder, emitting a faint fishy smell.

Mu Kai wrinkled his nose slightly and his eyelashes suddenly fluttered. "Master, that's exactly the smell. First there's a fragrance, then a fishy odor. I thought it was flower incense, sweet with a hint of sourness, but it's not."

Feng Qingcheng said, "This is the Dream-Erosion Flower. Of course, what you see before you is only the powder residue. The living Dream-Erosion Flower is blood red, even the stamens and stems are red as if bleeding. When in full bloom, it is as big as a palm, and that is when it is most poisonous. The poison of this flower is very strange. If the dosage is controlled properly and supplemented with soul-stealing techniques, it can control the will of others."

Fu Jinxi frowned and spoke directly to her, "Senior Feng, are you saying that the assassins on the pleasure boat that day were being controlled by the Dream-Eating Flower poison, and that Weiwei's clothes were also tainted with the Dream-Eating Flower's scent at some point. Those people were attracted by this unique scent, which is why they attacked us?"

Something flashed through his mind, and Mu Kaiwei closed his eyes and tried to recall.

"Weiwei?" Fu Jinxi shook her hand. "What did you think of?"

She opened her eyes and looked at the two men, then let out a deep breath. "I remember. That day, I first went to the Dali Temple prison to see the captured criminal on trial. In that cell, I also smelled the scent of the Dream-Eroding Flower, but the dungeon was filled with a multitude of odors, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Later, when I arrived at the pleasure boat and Liu Yanguo greeted me, I felt the scent coming towards me."

Fu Jinxi pondered, "Although I knew this man was eccentric, I never had any strong evidence, making it difficult to report him to the Three Judicial Departments. Now he's become a close minister to the emperor... Is he just after fame and fortune? What is his ultimate goal?" Feng Qingcheng looked at the small pile of brown powder and suddenly smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. "For those who use the Dream-Eroding Flower as a poison, mastering the dosage of the Dream-Eroding Flower is the key to everything. If you get it just right, you can not only control people's minds, but also make living things appear dead. From the outside, you can't even detect a heartbeat, but your pulse is still beating, your blood is drained, and your body temperature is cold. In fact, you have entered a state of hibernation." His expression was mocking. "So, what is the person who can bring the dead back to life... Haha, making them pretend to die and then wake up is nothing more than that."

King Kang and his wife looked at each other, and could see what the other was thinking in each other's eyes.

They both thought of the same thing - Liu Yanguo claimed that he had the ability to bring the dead back to life, and Guanzhi said that he had seen it with his own eyes before he died. Then there was Prince Li, who also saw it with his own eyes. Then there was the little white dog Snowball that the Queen Mother kept in Kangxianju and was resurrected after drowning. The nobles in the palace experienced it firsthand and saw it with their own eyes.

So all this is just to make him pretend to be dead and then wake up, that's all?

Meanwhile, Feng Qingcheng had already folded her handkerchief into a square and put it away, her voice somewhat leisurely. "This Dream-Erosion Flower only blooms in the deepest valleys of the southwest, blooming only once every ten years. The fully bloomed flower is plucked and used with clean female bodies, their flesh and blood being the only means of refining this strange poison capable of controlling the mind, soul, and will. This uncanny poison-refining technique is a common tactic used by the royal family of a small, southwestern nation. With a population of less than 50,000, this remote, isolated nation originally maintained a peaceful existence with its neighbors and surrounding tribes. Until, in order to gain more tribute, the Celestial Emperor was persuaded to send troops to aid the other small nation in its annihilation."

Fu Jinxi and Mu Kaiwei looked at each other again, both feeling awe-inspiring.

"The small country of Qiongcang!"

"It's Qiongcang!" The couple actually said the name of the small country in unison.

"It happened fifteen years ago, not long after I returned to Beijing. I remember it vividly," Fu Jinxi said. "I remember the Celestial Empire loaned only twenty thousand soldiers and horses to help the small nation of Fuli easily conquer the isolated Qiongcang. With the annexation of Qiongcang, the Celestial Empire gained annual tribute from Fuli. Among the tributes, Emperor Xingxian's favorite was the pearl white grass grown in Qiongcang. It was said that long-term consumption could not only prolong life but also restore weight."

"I remember this as well." Mu Shengwei's expression was slightly solemn. After a moment's silence, he continued, "If Liu Yanguo is truly an orphan of the Qiongcang royal family, what would he do now that he is with the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty?"

Feng Qingcheng smiled and said, "He's already doing it, and he's doing it very well, isn't he?"

He made friends with the powerful and wealthy, used the fifth prince, Prince Li, as a springboard, and jumped into the palace. He first won the favor of the women in the palace, and then tried to attract the attention of the emperor.

The emperor is no longer young, and he is afraid of getting old and even more afraid of death. When a person who is said to have the ability to "resurrect the dead" appears before him, he will inevitably want to find out whether it is true or not.

The emperor kept him by his side, appointed him as the imperial teacher, and even turned against his ministers and executed him for his sake.

"Master is absolutely right. He's already doing it, and doing it very well." Mu Kaiwei stood up suddenly, his face not quite right. "No... I have to go to the palace. I can't wait!"

"Weiwei?" Fu Jinxi saw her turn around and take out her sword and knife, and couldn't help but hold her arm. "What's going on?"

Mu Kaiwei said quickly, "Senior Brother was summoned to the palace this morning. He said he wanted to investigate Liu Yanguo. We didn't know the Dream-Eating Flower's poison could manipulate people's minds, and we didn't know Liu Yanguo might be trying to get closer to the Emperor because of the destruction of the small Qiongcang Kingdom. I think... the Emperor might have been poisoned by the Dream-Eating Flower, just like Guan Qin and the black-clad assassins, and he's completely following his instructions. If Senior Brother pushes too hard and finds out something, I'm worried they'll take action."

Feng Qingcheng nodded after hearing this and pulled out three small wooden bottles from his sleeve. "That makes sense. You can come and give me some advice, but bring everything you need before you go." The "things" were a panacea for poison prevention and detoxification, a high-quality gold wound medicine, and a mental and spiritual pill. Feng Qingcheng had already prepared a bottle of each for his beloved disciple.

"Thank you, Master." Mu Kaiwei put the small bottle into his arms, picked up his sword and left.

"I will accompany you to the palace!" Fu Jinxi quickly followed and held her hand again.

Mu Kaiwei shook his head firmly. "Don't go? You have to keep your martial arts knowledge a secret. What can you do if you go? Prince Kang, who is powerless, is the least threatening to the enemy and the emperor. We can't let them find out easily. That way, you'll be safe."

"I must go wherever you go. I'll follow you, and I'll take you anywhere." Fu Jinxi's face darkened, and he was even more determined than her. "Even if it means exposing my true identity, then expose it completely! If you want a fight, then come. How can I let you go alone?"

Mu Kaiwei's breathing was a little short, and he didn't know how to dissuade him, so he could only look at Feng Qingcheng for help.

Feng Qingcheng nodded. "That makes sense. Let's go. As for what to bring with you... I don't have any here. Your Highness, please take care of it yourself." This is the extreme of favoring girls over boys.
