The pale and bloodless face, the beautiful features that were almost thin, the dazed and confused expression, the watery eyes looking at her as if asking for help... Mu Kaiwei suppressed his anger for the time being, and his expression became more indifferent.

Prince Li, who was standing by, was frightened, especially when he saw the gifted sword hanging on Princess Kang's waist. However, after all, the "Jade Rakshasa" was not angry with him, so he could just stand by and watch.

Humph, go ahead and quarrel, make a fuss, and even better, use knives, sticks, fists, and kicks to beat the Empress Dowager’s beloved Prince Kang until he vomits blood. Then let’s see how straight your back can be, the Princess Kang who has the effect of “suppressing evil spirits”.

Prince Li's eyes were shining with excitement, and he tried to add fuel to the fire, "Don't be angry, sister-in-law, don't mind it. It was me who dragged Jinxi onto the pleasure boat. Men can never resist seeing young and beautiful girls. Besides, this must be Jinxi's first time to cruise on the river on a pleasure boat, so he finds everything new to him. Sister-in-law, let him try it, don't be restrained... Oh, by the way, I have always wanted to set up a banquet to apologize to you and your wife. I was just telling Jinxi about this... Uh!" His heart trembled because the woman who looked petite but was actually very ferocious suddenly turned around and faced him.

"Your Highness Prince Li." Mu Kaiwei clasped his arms, put his hands together, and bowed slightly in salute.

Suddenly, he started to bow seriously... What was that? Prince Li's eyes twitched. "No need to bow, sister-in-law..."

"Imperial sister-in-law!" An eager voice called out.

Although Mu Kaiwei was concentrating on staring at Prince Kang... and the "unwanted" claw, the moment she entered the ship, she could already tell which Lan people were inside from the corner of her eye.

Seeing the young boy Fu Jinyi jump in front of him, smiling at her with a sincere face, Mu Kaiwei's frosty face finally warmed up a little, and he also bowed to the young boy, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

Fu Jinyi smiled even brighter. "Call me Ah Jiu, my dear sister-in-law. I'd like to take you as my teacher. Ah Jiu greets you." As he spoke, he bowed deeply and returned the greeting.

Prince Li's eyes twitched even more, and he said in a slightly gruff voice, "Ninth brother, stop making trouble. My brother is discussing serious matters with Princess Kang!"

"What business is that?" Fu Jinyi retorted. "Fifth Brother, you said there was something fun to do, so I slipped out of the palace. And you dragged along Brother Xi, whom I met by chance. It would have been fine if we'd just been cruising the river on a pleasure boat and listening to some songs, but why are you talking about all this nonsense? I'm tired of it. Only Brother Jinxi can handle it." His beautiful eyes turned back to the tightly-dressed woman before him, unconcealed in admiration.

"If you ask me, the most noteworthy thing today is witnessing the Emperor's cousin's wife's light-footed crossing of the river. It truly brightened my eyes and filled me with energy and spirit."

Prince Li's two eyes were slightly entangled, but he suppressed his temper and said, "Ninth brother, it is very rude of you to say that. You are blind and fail to recognize the great man. Master Liu once reminded me to be careful and not to drink after the hour of You. I was just careless once, but the next day I was talking nonsense in front of the palace. Master Liu also said that once there is a first mistake, there will be a second one. There is no way to avoid it." He looked at Mu Kaiwei and grinned awkwardly.

"So, that day, I was helpless when I caused trouble at Prince Kang's mansion, but my father increased the punishment for it, which actually helped me avoid disaster. Now, as soon as I was released from confinement, I wanted to go out for some fresh air. Master Liu calculated the direction and told me to head south, saying good things were about to happen." He clapped his hands in delight. "What a coincidence! It's pure luck. A wanted criminal who no detective in the capital could catch has now fallen into my hands. It's a piece of cake to apprehend him."

On this side, when Prince Li was talking to the Ninth Prince and Mu Kaiwei, Prince Kang seemed to have finally calmed down. Seeing that his princess did not get angry at him on the spot, but her eyes no longer met his, Fu Jinxi stood up and walked to her side in silence, but still did not get any attention.

He originally wanted to secretly pull her sleeve or the corner of her clothes to attract her attention, but she was wearing tight clothes today, her wrists were bound, and the corners of her clothes were tied very short, making it impossible for him to do anything.

Furthermore, she…she was determined to ignore him completely, because it was difficult to do it secretly, so he thought of holding her hand openly. Unexpectedly, she cleverly dodged and clasped her fists to King Li again, her tone calm—

"I've come to ask for advice from His Royal Highness Prince Li regarding the capture of the key criminal in the Baohua Temple case."

"Please ask... this king?" King Li pointed his well-maintained white index finger at himself, his eye bags twitching with shock.

The dignified "Imperial Capital Jade Rakshasa" has something to ask him?!

Are you kidding me? You can’t just wish for something as impressive as this!

He patted his belly and laughed heartily, "Sister-in-law, if you ask, I'll let you ask. Ah! You want to know how I arrested that person that day, don't you? Jinxi just asked the same question. You two are quite in tune with each other. Hahahaha, in that case, sister-in-law, please give me some face and spare Jinxi today?"

"Fifth brother, let's not go off topic. The Queen's wife is still waiting for your answer." Fu Jinyi shook his head unbearably.

Mu Kaiwei pretended not to hear Prince Li's plea for mercy for someone, and simply said, "I really want to know how Your Highness captured the criminal, so no matter how big or small the matter is, I hope you can tell me."

Prince Li saw Prince Kang standing there pitifully, while Princess Kang, though not angry, remained cold and indifferent, with a serious smile. He wondered what kind of quarrel the couple would have behind closed doors when they returned home. Just imagining it made him feel happy.

Finally, finally, having managed to wash away a little of the shame he felt after being knocked unconscious by the imperial sword, he waved his hand with a magnanimous gesture. "Haha, after all, it's all thanks to the advice of the expert. The expert said it would be best to head south, and I was heading south that day. The expert calculated that good fortune was approaching and that it would be best to relax instead of work, which suited my temperament perfectly. So, I ate, drank, listened to music, touched hands... well, basically, I just did whatever I wanted.

As I stood up to relieve myself, that blind criminal bumped into me. I grabbed him by the collar, knocking his cloth cap off his head. His head was completely bald, and his scars were clearly visible. He chuckled, "He's clearly a monk, but he's hiding in a brothel. That's quite a trick, don't you think?"

Mu Kaiwei pondered for a few breaths and asked, "Since the Baohua Temple case, Guanqin has been on the run for over four months. Why didn't he grow his hair long? Once his hair grows out, it can not only hide the scars on his head, but also make it easier to hide his identity, right?"

"Mrs. Huang Zhang asked a good question. This is indeed a suspicious point." Fu Jinyi nodded vigorously.

"Uh... well..." King Li didn't think too much about it and was stunned by the question. His eyes couldn't help but glance at the man standing in the corner of the ship, who was silent from beginning to end.

Seeing this, Mu Kaiwei turned his head and raised his eyelashes, then officially met the man's eyes.

When she stepped into the ship's tower, except for King Li who followed behind her, everyone inside was either kneeling or sitting cross-legged. Only one person stood up from his seat and quietly retreated to the wooden pillar in the corner. He was wearing a dark black robe with wide sleeves, his hair was completely gray, but his face was very smooth, and he looked no more than thirty years old.

Seeing several royal nobles looking over, he bowed his head slightly in respect and answered for Prince Li. "Princess Kang, I'm afraid you'll need to ask the prisoner yourself to get the answer. We ordinary people can't fathom the prisoner's thoughts. I've heard that the monks of the 'Seven Temples of Baohua Temple' all became monks when they were young. Perhaps Master Guanqin, who's been a monk for so long, would be unable to face the test of growing his hair and becoming an ordinary citizen."

"Well said, well said!" King Li waved his arm and nodded vigorously.

"Is this... Feifei the master that His Royal Highness Prince Li highly praises?" Mu Kaiwei looked at him openly.

In order to get a closer look at the other person's facial features and expression, she subconsciously stepped closer. She had only taken half a step when she felt someone pulling her right elbow... Apart from Prince Kang, who else would dare to step so close to pull her?

Business was important, and she was in no mood to "settle accounts" with him at the moment. Without a second thought, she quietly broke free.

Upon hearing her question, Prince Li grinned and said, "Yes, yes, it's none other than this Master Liu." He hurried over, as if eager to present a treasure. "Sister-in-law, Master Liu calculated that my good fortune has arrived, but I must put an end to my past misdeeds in order for this good fortune to last, for good times to finally turn from bad to good, for disaster to bring good luck... Hey, hey, so if I cause trouble on your wedding day with Jinxi, I'll have to prepare a table of wine to make amends. I'll be honored, so you won't refuse to come, will you?"

"When His Royal Highness Prince Li holds a banquet, I will certainly come to visit him." Mu Kaiwei was able to achieve great results with little effort.

Prince Li's laughter continued, and he nodded repeatedly. "Very well, very well." Then, he turned to the gray-haired man and said, "Master Liu, this is my Jinxi's princess. Although Master Liu has been in the Imperial Capital for less than half a year, I'm sure you've heard of her name, right?"

The gray-haired man smiled faintly. "Princess Kang, daughter of the Mu family, who have presided over the Three Judicial Offices for three generations, was also the former head of the Six Gates. She holds the rank of Third Rank, the highest female official rank in the Celestial Empire. Her title resounds throughout the capital; how could I not know it?" He clasped his arms, bowed, and said respectfully, "I, Liu Yanguo, am honored today to meet Princess Kang."

aroma!

As the other party saluted, Mu Kaiwei smelled a fragrance.

It should be the scent of a mixture of various flowers and plants, and she couldn't tell the origin for a moment.

There are many men in the Celestial Empire who use perfumed powder and rouge, especially in the Imperial Capital. She originally thought that the Master Liu in front of her would also apply powder and cream, and thought that it was the scent of powder emanating from his body. However, the essence was finally revealed. After the fragrance settled in her nose, it brought with it a hint of fishy odor at the end, which was very faint, but very unpleasant.

Her sense of smell is sharper than that of ordinary people, while the people around her are completely unaware of the strange fragrance.

She remained emotionless, but said calmly, "Liu Zhiren's name is 'Yanguo'. This name can remind me to be careful not to exaggerate. Remember, too much talk leads to mistakes. Don't speak nonsense."

Her words were full of temptation and warning. Prince Li was probably the only one present who didn't understand. Fu Jinyi, who was only ten years old, raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Yanguo with a strange look.

Prince Li laughed heartily. "The Immortal Master often advises me like this! My sister-in-law probably doesn't know that this Immortal Master Liu is truly divine. He has the ability to bring the dead back to life! I saw with my own eyes that he revived a five-year-old child who had accidentally fallen into a well and had been dead for two whole days. There's no one else in our dynasty with such a skill... Oh, no, there's probably no one else like him in the entire world!"

Master is old... old...

But, that person can... come back to life...

Resurrection?!

Mu Kaiwei suddenly remembered what Guanzhi said to Master Yuande before he died.

A familiar shiver ran from her spine to her forehead. It was the feeling when she smelled a clue about something muddy. She stared at Liu Yanguo, her hand on the hilt of her sword, but a figure suddenly blocked her way at this moment.

"Princess, would you mind coming back to the palace with me? Old Xue is waiting on another small boat, sailing along the river with the pleasure boat. I've asked him to come and pick him up. Let's go back and have dinner. I'm a little hungry."

Mu Kai glared at Prince Kang who was forcing his way towards her. She was shocked and wanted to pick up the imperial sword to knock him unconscious, but the strength of his grip on her elbow was so great that she was secretly surprised.

He didn't hurt her, but when she wanted to save his face and tried to break free from his grasp in secret, she failed.

……cannot?

How is that possible?!

King Kang's phoenix eyes did not blink, and there was a faint light in his pupils that made her tremble with fear. It seemed that he wanted to tell her something, but she had no time to see through or guess what it was because the situation changed suddenly.

Prince Li chartered the pleasure boat of "Nuan Yue Pavilion" for a river cruise. There were nearly twenty musicians, singing girls and serving maids alone. It was a large number of people, and the pleasure boat was afraid that it would not be able to accommodate more. Therefore, only two attendants were left on the front and back decks of the pleasure boat, while the rest of the guards took three light boats to sail on the river with the pleasure boat.

There were two boatmen on each of the three light boats, a total of six people. At this time, the six boatmen attacked at the same time, throwing away the oars and long poles, pulling out the knives that had been hidden in advance, and jumping onto the inner deck of the pleasure boat.

Not only that, a corner of the bottom of the pleasure boat was broken by someone, and the river water rushed in rapidly, and a dozen men in black who were hiding under the water suddenly appeared.

"Assassin! There is an assassin! Protect me, quickly!" King Li shouted in panic, but most of the guards were on the three light boats and could not come to the rescue in time. The four guards on the pleasure boat were knocked down in an instant.

The musicians and singing girls were so frightened that they rolled and crawled. Prince Li also rolled and crawled until he reached Mu Kaiwei's feet.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, protect this king. It all depends on you. Protect this king!"

Mu Kaiwei immediately pushed Prince Kang behind her, then stretched out her long arms and grabbed Fu Jinyi and stuffed him behind her at lightning speed. Then she drew out her sword and used her single-man-stand-against-ten-man tactics to fight.

What's strange is that the target of these assassins doesn't seem to be Prince Li, Prince Kang, or the Ninth Prince Fu Jinyi. Their target seems to be her - Mu Kaiwei.

But King Li didn't think so at all. The flashing of swords and sabers frightened him so much that he wanted to hug Mu Kaiwei's thighs and use her as a barrier.

"Lower your head! Don't stand up!" After Mu Kaiwei killed three assassins, he was finally dragged down by King Li for "pushing too close". His sword suddenly stopped and the back of his hand was cut by the opponent.

At the same time, she heard Prince Kang shouting her name behind her, and in the blink of an eye, the plank under her feet burst.

Shipwreck.

It wasn't a shipwreck where the river water rushed in and completely submerged the entire ship, but the entire bottom of the ship inexplicably cracked into countless pieces, and all the people on the ship fell into the river.

"Your Highness! Prince Li! Quick, row the boat over there!", "Ah! His Highness the Ninth Prince is over there, clinging to a wooden pillar and floating there! Your Highness, Your Highness—hold on a little longer, I'll be there soon!", "Master Liu is also fine, clinging to another wooden pillar, what a blessing!"

"What a blessing! You... bastards, you are all good-for-nothings. What's the point of me keeping a bunch of you useless people?!" King Li, who was pulled onto the boat, was panting and shaking all over, but he still didn't forget to curse.

There was chaos on the river. The pleasure boat was broken into pieces and many people were clinging to driftwood waiting to be rescued. Passing ships noticed the situation and took the initiative to move their boats closer.

A guard from Prince Li's palace suddenly asked, "...Where are the assassins? Why are they all gone? Ah! And where are Prince Kang and Princess Kang?" Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked around, and sure enough, there was no trace of Prince Kang and his wife on the floating stump.

The guard continued, "Huh? The old steward surnamed Xue from Prince Kang's mansion is gone too. He was there just now!"

Fu Jinyi, who had just been rescued onto the boat, was pale and trembling uncontrollably. He said to Prince Li, "Brother Jinxi pushed... me onto the driftwood, and then we sank into the river. And my cousin's wife... the boat broke and split, and when she fell into the river, I saw... I saw those assassins... so many of them swam towards her. Fifth brother, we must find them, we must find them, quickly send some men over... we must find them."

King Li's face paled as he continued to curse, but his eyes met Yan Guo, who was sitting at the stern, quietly getting dressed. The latter lowered his brows and gave him a meaningful nod.

King Li was immediately enlightened.

Good times will come after adversity, and good fortune will emerge from adversity! Isn't this exactly the situation he is in now?

So he got through today's disaster without any major incident. It wasn't him who suffered, but someone else. King Kang and his wife took the blame for him, right?

Hahaha, now that good luck has arrived, the road ahead will be smooth and all the way to the sky!

Prince Li finally felt relieved of his depression, but he couldn't show it on his face. He had to finish what he had to do.

"Search! Search thoroughly for them! All your men, send them to me. Whoever finds Prince Kang and his wife will be rewarded handsomely. Gold, silver, houses, girls, whatever you want. Hurry and find them!"

"yes!"

Mu Kaiwei knew that someone was using his internal energy to crack the bottom of the pleasure boat.

When her feet stepped on the deck, she could feel the internal force surging from the soles of her feet. The man was exerting force right behind her. At that time, Prince Li was crawling beside her, Liu Yanguo was diagonally behind her, and the people who were really behind her were the Ninth Prince and her Prince Kang.

After falling into the river, the doubts that had been lingering in her heart for a long time were all resolved after she saw the series of actions that King Kang took next.

After falling into the river, more than a dozen assassins still rushed towards her relentlessly. She suddenly felt that her right hand was powerless, and she immediately realized that the knife that hit the back of her hand must have been poisoned.

She couldn't think too much at the moment, and immediately switched the sword from her right hand to her left hand. Her moves in the water were still sharp, trying to annihilate all the enemies before the poison took full effect.

The assassin was targeting her, and that was for the best.

At that time, she was still vaguely thinking that as long as she could lead the assassin away, her Prince Kang and others would be rescued sooner... Unexpectedly, Prince Kang, who was powerless, swam towards her as fast as a dragon in the water, and all the black-clad men who stood between them were swept away one by one by him.

Prince Kang's method of removing "obstacles" was absolutely simple and extremely brutal. He would grab the black-clad man's neck and twist it, or he would strike his opponent's throat or forehead with a knife. He was always accurate and merciless.

He swam to her, ignoring her staring eyes, and holding her waist tightly, he swam towards a certain direction. Mu Kaiwei couldn't figure out how long she had been in the water, she only knew that it was so long that her heart and lungs could no longer bear it. Suddenly, a breath of abundant life-nourishing air poured into her mouth and nose, allowing her to maintain consciousness.

She knew clearly that it was his mouth that was blocking her, and it was his breath that was passing through her. She was forced to accept it, and in fact, she had no way of not accepting it.

She was finally able to regulate her breathing, and when she regained consciousness, he had already carried her to a place on the river bank where the weeds were waist-high.

This place was very secluded, and the river where the accident happened could be seen from afar. All the assassins were killed by Prince Kang under the river, and no one came to chase them.

The crisis was suddenly resolved, but Mu Kaiwei was completely stunned.

Half her body was numb, her left hand could no longer hold the sword, and even the root of her tongue felt stiff. However, her almond-shaped eyes were still staring straight at Prince Kang.

Will the truth be revealed? Will the details be exposed? At this moment, Fu Jinxi couldn't care less!

He pulled up her right hand that was stabbed and took a look. Seeing that the wound was purple, his face immediately turned pale and blue. He quickly pressed several blood vessels on her arm to shoulder, and then carried her to a dry place.

After placing her on the ground covered with thick weeds, he reached into his sleeves with trembling hands and fumbled around, finally pulling out a small purple bottle and pouring out a bright red pill.

"Eat it!" He put his palm under her lips. "It's a detoxifying elixir, eat it quickly!"

Mu Kaiwei lay there unmoved, his eyes as if evaluating a stranger, focused yet distant.

"Weiwei... Weiwei..." Fu Jinxi said in a trembling voice, "I beg you, take the medicine, I beg you... take the medicine, whatever you want to ask, I will tell you, I won't hide it from you anymore. Don't you want to know about Miss Lin? I'll tell you everything, okay? Open your mouth, take the medicine, open your mouth——"

Using her mother as a bargaining chip, this kind of coaxing really worked. Mu Kaiwei's gloomy heart suddenly flashed, and she obediently opened her teeth to let him feed her the medicine.

After making sure that she had swallowed the elixir and her breathing was normal, Fu Jinxi felt that his heart, which was so frightened that it almost jumped out of his throat, finally returned to its normal place. Then he wrapped her hand with a towel, making sure that the bleeding had completely stopped and had not worsened. In an instant, all his strength seemed to be drained away, and his upper body fell directly on her, his cold face pressed against the side of her neck, gasping for breath.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west and the crows were returning home. Mu Kaiwei looked at the sky full of colorful clouds and tried hard to organize his thoughts.

But Prince Kang, who was pressing on her, was shaking so violently that she had to feel it.

His skin was icy cold, and his odorless breath carried waves of chill. The beating of his chest struck her through his flesh and soaked clothes, as if his heart had been frightened too much and was beating violently.

Mu Kaiwei wanted to push him away so that she could see his expression clearly. She could move her left arm, but she couldn't exert much strength, so her left arm ended up resting on his shoulder, as if she was raising her hand to embrace him.

Prince Kang was aware of her intentions, but at this moment he really didn't want to get up. He was too frightened and needed closer and closer contact to calm down. So he went along with it and said, "Weiwei is willing to touch me actively. I'm so happy." He sighed.

"It's true that I said I was going to the antique shop today, but I was stopped by Prince Li's carriage on the way. The Ninth Prince was also there, as well as that Liu Yanguo... The reason I followed Prince Li and his group on the river tour was mainly because I wanted to meet Master Liu, who is said to have the ability to bring the dead back to life." Another sigh.

"Several singing girls on the pleasure boat kept coming closer to me. I tried every way to find out Liu Yanguo's background, but I had to avoid their touches. Weiwei... I didn't let them touch me." Another sigh, this time very sad.

"I saw you appear, using the boats on the river as a foothold, and then you jumped from the shore onto the boat in a few leaps and dives. I was so shocked that I forgot to breathe. Tell me, tell me yourself, when you finally stepped on the old boatman's long pole, did you slip a little? If you hadn't adjusted your breathing and raised your energy in time, you would have fallen even further into the Luoyu River. I watched with my own eyes, and my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all in a tangle, and my hands couldn't help but clench..."

Is this the point right now?

If Mu Kaiwei could move freely, he would really give him a slap on the back of the head.

But he was right.

The placement of her kick was indeed unstable. She thought she had concealed it very well, but it was still exposed in front of the master.

Thinking lightly, she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, what a master... She asked around in Prince Kang's mansion and looked at everyone in the mansion, but she didn't expect that Prince Kang was a "dark man under the lamp", hiding right under her nose, making it so easy for her to find him!

"Hei... Mr. Hei San..." She tried hard to make a sound.

"...I am." Fu Jinxi replied in a muffled voice.

"King Kang?"

"Yes, I am. Really. Honest and honest, no returns." He stressed nervously, finally raising his head and straightening his upper body.

It was the detoxification pill that took effect. Mu Kaiwei felt that her limbs could move more freely, and the blockage in her chest and dantian was also relieved. She supported herself with her arms and managed to sit up. Seeing him leaning over to help her, she pushed him away with one hand.

In fact, her strength was not enough to stop him. Instead, her refusal was like a heavy blow, which made Fu Jinxi at a loss. She was anxious, but did not dare to express her anger.

Both of them were soaking wet, but Prince Kang, whether intentionally or by chance, was completely blocked by the river wind. Mu Kaiwei looked at his fair, youthful face and couldn't help but sigh. The man she married was too easily moved by her. Look, just because she refused his help, he looked hurt. Then, many water droplets slid down from his wet hair, gathered on his black eyelashes, and hung on his cheeks. He didn't even wipe them off, as if... as if he was wronged.

Let me ask, who is wronged?

After making her run around in circles, would the person who started it all come to ask for sympathy from her?

The surge of emotions made it impossible to remain calm. Mu Kaiwei tried his best to control his emotions, his expression cold and calm. "The Queen Mother's Buddhist beads, the ones she found in Baohua Temple... it was you who secretly shot them, forcing Guan Ji to retreat and surrender."

"...Yeah." Fu Jinxi nodded, his breathing a little unstable. The soft smile that his wife had shown when she talked to him or looked at him before was no longer there.

"Yeah." Mu Kaiwei also nodded.

There were so many things she needed to sort out, but her head felt heavy and her thoughts were muddled. After a moment's reflection, she gave a wry smile and shook her head. "I'm just too reliant on my intuition, too much on smell... too self-righteous..."

"slight……"

She murmured again, "Heisan has a strange spicy and cool smell on his body, which you don't have. You don't even have a unique smell, only a simple medicinal fragrance..." So she naturally excluded him and never thought that he might be the person she was looking for. "Oh, so this is called 'success and failure are both due to smell'? Judging people by their smell, being too clever is just foolish." She pursed her lips and laughed at herself.

Fu Jinxi didn't understand what she said, but felt anxious. He wanted to touch her but didn't dare to do so, so he could only beg in a low voice, "I'll take you back first. Your poisonous wound needs someone to diagnose carefully. If there is anything, we can talk about it when we get back home. If you want to hit me, scold me, or chop me, I'll let you do it, okay? Weiwei... okay? Weiwei!" He suddenly called out in surprise, opened his arms and embraced his wife who suddenly fell backwards.

"Weiwei? Open your eyes and look at me, Weiwei!" He patted her cheek lightly and found that her skin temperature was hot and cold, as if the poison was recurring.

"Oh my god... stop slapping me." Mu Kai raised his eyelashes and glanced at him. He was still conscious, and in order to avoid his hand that was about to slap her, he buried his face directly in his arms.

His dead heart suddenly came to life. "Okay, no more, no more. If you keep on hitting me, you'll break my claws. Let's go back. I'll take you back. You know I'm pretty good at light-weight martial arts. We've competed before, haven't we? I'll be very careful holding you and won't make you uncomfortable."

Realizing that the man was about to pick her up by the waist, Mu Kaiwei grabbed his arm. "I don't want you to hold me."

"Weiwei...don't leave me."

She felt that she must have heard correctly. Prince Kang's words were clearly nasal, as if he was about to cry.

She sighed again, her fingers pinching her flesh. "Prince Kang is weak and frail, known throughout the Imperial Capital as 'The Medicated Prince.' What will happen if someone discovers your exceptional martial arts skills?" She frowned and glared at him. "...You play the frail one in public, secretly acting as Hei San. You're really trying to avoid the Emperor's eyes and ears, aren't you? That night at Sanchuankou, the Emperor's hidden assassin...can't be discovered...we must be cautious. So...so, I don't want you to hold me. Let me sit for a while. I'll be able to stand up after I've recovered my breath..."

Even if Fu Xi hadn't cried just now, her eyes were already wet.

His princess did not reject him.

Even though his princess was extremely angry with him, she was still willing to pinch him and glare at him, and her heart was still with him. Even though she was hurt so much, she still thought so much about him.

He bent down and kissed her slightly hot forehead, then her slightly flushed cheeks, whispering in her ear, "So you already know about the Hidden Chess Killer? Don't be alarmed. If he were to be discovered, I would turn the tables on him and show him the truth."

Mu Kaiwei understood who the "he" in his life was referring to. Her chest tightened and she looked stunned.

When Prince Kang picked her up by the waist, she did not struggle this time.

You Ran sighed and gave herself to him.
