Sun Jinyao shook his head.
He had thought about doing something for Shangguan Wanning, so he quietly went to the post station.
But when he arrived, he found that the son of the general of Chengnan Pass was already lying on the ground wailing in pain.
I heard that he fell off his horse while riding, broke both his legs, and was unable to get out of bed for several months.
"What?" Shangguan Wanning was shocked when she heard it.
The general of Chengnan Pass was a top military scholar, and his family has practiced martial arts for generations. I heard that his son is also good at riding horses, so how could he fall off the horse?
"The general of Chengnanguan is only in Beijing to report on his duties and will not stay in the capital for too long. If I can't come to propose marriage in the next two days, then... it's basically impossible."
After hearing what Sun Jinyao said, Shangguan Wanning let out a long sigh, and all her anxiety and sorrow disappeared in an instant.
She did not hide her joy at all, and hummed a little tune as she took Lutong back to the room.
Shangguan Yue was secretly upset, but he did not give up and found another in-law for Shangguan Wanning.
The second person was exposed for corruption and abuse of power the night before the marriage proposal, and was taken away by the Ministry of Justice overnight;
The third person was suddenly sent to patrol the border and could not return for three to five years;
The fourth person...
After a series of failures, Shangguan Yue was furious at home.
He sent people to investigate secretly, and found that it was all Mu Jingrui's doing. In his rage, he suddenly realized that Mu Jingrui's power and means in the court were much more powerful than he had imagined.
this……
It will be even more troublesome.
This means that Mu Jingrui is fully qualified to compete with the Yiyong Marquis Mansion.
Shangguan Yue had to put Shangguan Wanning's marriage on hold for the time being.
This made Shangguan Wanning feel much more relaxed.
She was unable to contact Mu Jingrui for the time being, so she focused on studying medicine with Lu Xiangzi, discussing medical theories with Sun Jinyao every day, and her life was quite fulfilling.
The fifteenth day of this month is the annual Lantern Festival. There is no curfew and everyone, young or old, male or female, can go out to the streets to watch the lanterns. The streets are bustling and lively.
Mu Jingyan changed into a goose yellow dress, put on some makeup, looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and then quietly slipped to the backyard.
"Where are you going?"
A voice came from behind. Mu Jingyan bit his lip lightly and adjusted his expression before turning around and looking at Mu Jingrui with a smile.
"Brother, today is the Lantern Festival, I'm going out for a walk."
"Just go out, why are you sneaking around?" Mu Jingrui walked up to his sister and looked at her carefully.
Mu Jingyan became unhappy when he heard that.
"I'm not being sneaky. I just want to take a shortcut. Going out the back door is shorter."
Mu Jingrui did not delve into it further. During this period, he was overwhelmed by the court duties and his longing for Shangguan Wanning.
"Don't play too late. After all, you are a girl. It's not safe to be outside alone. Bring more money."
"Got it. You're so nagging." Mu Jingyan opened the door to the backyard and left. "I'll bring you some midnight snacks when I come back."
Mu Jingyan arrived at the agreed location, but found it was quiet all around. She looked around and muttered to herself, "Why haven't you come yet..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt someone approaching quickly from behind.
Mu Jingyan immediately became alert and grabbed the other person's pulse.
The other party did not dodge or evade and smoothly leaned on her shoulder.
Mu Jingyan was stunned, and the other party took advantage of the opportunity. He pulled her into his arms and quickly kissed her on the lips.
"You...you are so bad. You attacked me by surprise."
Mu Jingyan responded to Xiao Yujue's kiss, and only waited until he let her go before beating his chest and complaining.
Xiao Yujue held her hand lovingly, placed it on his lips and kissed it again.
"Did you miss me?"
"No." Mu Jingyan turned his head and tried to hold back his smile.
"real?"
"Of course it's true."
"Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you when you miss me."
"You dare."
Mu Jingyan pinched Xiao Yujue's waist.
"You are the only one in the world who dares to talk to me like this." Xiao Yujue pinched Mu Jingyan's nose, "Let's go, let's go see the lanterns."
Xiao Yujue held Mu Jingyan's hand and walked towards the street. The two of them were like an ordinary couple, having a lot of fun.
For Xiao Yujue, only in front of Mu Jingyan can he truly release himself.
Because he knew that this woman loved him, just loved him, without any complicated intentions, and would never harm him.
"I heard that anyone who is lucky enough to light a lantern will have a wish come true."
The two came to a large square with a huge lifelike lotus lantern in the middle.
Xiao Yujue looked in the direction of Mu Jingyan's finger, and sure enough, there were a lot of people competing for the qualification to light the lamp.
"Would you like something?" Xiao Yujue asked with a smile.
"Yes, I do. But in addition to paying a hundred taels of silver, you also have to guess the lantern riddle correctly if you want to light it. If you fail to guess correctly, you won't get your money back."
Xiao Yujue smiled slightly. "Let's try it."
Anyway, money is not a problem.
After Xiao Yujue paid the silver, the person in charge gave him a riddle.
Just as he lowered his head to think, several figures approached him quickly, and then several murderous auras surged and surrounded him.
By the time Xiao Yujue realized it, it was too late.
There was a sharp pain in the body, and a cut was made on the shoulder by the sword energy.
A group of men in black came rushing over, and the crowd of onlookers quickly dispersed and fled.
“Your Highness…”
When Mu Jingyan saw that Xiao Yujue was injured, he was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly protected him behind him and fought desperately.
The guard who had been hiding in the crowd to protect Xiao Yujue also drew his sword and jumped out.
However, in order to be alone with Mu Jingyan, Xiao Yujue did not bring many people with him, and under the siege of the men in black, they were defeated step by step.
"Miss Mu, take His Highness away first."
Mu Jingyan ran without hesitation, supporting Xiao Yujue.
The two men didn't run far before they were stopped by several men in black.
"You go first and don't worry about me." Xiao Yujue said while enduring the severe pain.
Mu Jingyan glared at him angrily. "Who do you think I am? I tell you, no matter what the situation is, I will not let you die before me."
After saying that, Mu Jingyan went to meet him.
Xiao Yujue wanted to help, but the slightest movement caused severe pain in the wound.
Just as he saw that Mu Jingyan was about to collapse, a figure came walking on the moon, sweeping with sword energy, shocking the men in black back. After joining the battle, he killed all the men in black with a few moves.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When Xiao Yujue saw that the person coming was Mu Jingrui, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"You...you came at the right time. If you were any later, you would have to collect the bodies of...your sister and me..."
Xiao Yujue's vision became increasingly blurred. He knew there would be no more danger, so he relaxed and passed out.
