Sun Jinyao seemed to see through Shangguan Wanning's thoughts and comforted her, "Don't be too sad. When we return to the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will fight for him."
"No matter what, Mu Jingyan is his concubine, and his interests are tied to those of the Mu family."
Shangguan Wanning nodded absentmindedly. She felt dizzy and her vision gradually blurred. She tilted her body and almost fell. Fortunately, Sun Jinyao was quick to catch her.
"Since... you haven't had a good sleep or a good meal. How can your body bear it if you continue like this? Be obedient and go back to rest."
Shangguan Wanning's heart was as calm as still water. She really wanted to follow Mu Jingrui to the underworld, but...
Thinking of her parents at home, she lost her courage.
I already owed my parents in my last life, am I going to do the same thing again in this life?
What's more, she had to return to the capital with her life to seek justice for Mu Jingrui.
Sun Jinyao escorted Shangguan Wanning to the door of the room and said softly, "Lie down for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to make porridge for you."
Shangguan Wanning nodded listlessly.
She was the only one left in the room, and it was so quiet that she could almost hear her own heartbeat. She wanted to force herself to sleep for a while, but as soon as she closed her eyes, Mu Jingrui stood in front of her, covered in blood.
She couldn't sleep, and didn't dare to sleep.
Shangguan Wanning poured herself a glass of water. When she was about to drink it, she glanced at the mirror out of the corner of her eye.
I don't know when, there was a person standing behind her.
She was so frightened that her fingers loosened and the cup fell to the ground. She stood up and wanted to call for help, but was strangled by the throat.
Shangguan Wanning struggled subconsciously, and the other party loosened her wrist slightly, giving her a chance to catch her breath.
"She is indeed very pretty, no wonder...she is so obsessed with him."
The other party's voice, coming through the strange mask, seemed a little weird.
"Who are you?"
Shangguan Wanning could only determine that the other person was a woman.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is..." Chu Xiaolian looked at Shangguan Wanning. She began to understand why Mu Jingrui was so fond of her.
Perhaps, no man can resist such a charming and beautiful woman.
However, she inexplicably hated her and wanted to strangle her to death and tear her into pieces immediately.
Shangguan Wanning saw the murderous intent in the other person's eyes. She groped for the teapot, picked it up and poured it into Chu Xiaolian's hand.
The scalding hot tea made Chu Xiaolian loosen her grip involuntarily.
Shangguan Wanning took the opportunity to escape, opened the door and rushed out.
Chu Xiaolian flipped in the air and used her lightness skills to stand in front of her.
This time, she almost did not hesitate, condensed her true energy in her palm, and struck Shangguan Wanning with a palm.
On the other side, something hit Chu Xiaolian.
She dodged to the side and saw a figure passing by and blocking Shangguan Wanning.
"Ning'er, how are you?"
Shangguan Wanning was still in shock, and shook her head palely. "Brother Yao, I'm fine..."
Chu Xiaolian didn't give the two a chance to talk and attacked Sun Jinyao.
She found that Sun Jinyao's martial arts were not top-notch, but she couldn't subdue or kill him in a short time.
She didn't want to cause any trouble, so she put her finger to her lips. A strange whistle sounded, and soon six masked men in black climbed over the wall and came in.
"Kill that woman."
At the command, six big men in black rushed towards Shangguan Wanning.
Sun Jinyao had no choice but to give up fighting with Chu Xiaolian and turned to protect Shangguan Wanning.
At this time, his back was exposed, and Chu Xiaolian took the opportunity to slap him.
"Brother Yao..."
Shangguan Wanning stepped forward quickly, but was pushed by Sun Jinyao, who yelled, "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and run."
Sun Jinyao held his breath, just wanting to buy as much time as possible for Shangguan Wanning to escape.
Even if Shangguan Wanning didn't know martial arts, she could see that Sun Jinyao couldn't handle seven people alone.
She was already feeling hopeless, but she resolutely walked to the middle.
"The person you want to kill is me, it has nothing to do with him."
"Ning'er..." Sun Jinyao wanted to pull Shangguan Wanning back, but was restrained by several big men in black and could not move forward.
"What? Are you willing to die for him?" Chu Xiaolian asked with a frown.
"He can risk his life for me, so why can't I die for him?"
Shangguan Wanning actually lost the confidence and courage to live on, so she didn't want to implicate others.
Chu Xiaolian clenched her fists. She really wanted Mu Jingrui to come and take a look.
The woman he was thinking about even when he was unconscious had already thrown herself into the arms of another man after he left, and stayed with him through life and death.
"You said it very well. In that case, I will grant your wish."
Chu Xiaolian slapped Shangguan Wanning in the heart.
Shangguan Wanning calmly closed her eyes.
“Ning’er…”
Following Sun Jinyao's heart-wrenching roar, several sharp arrows shot towards Chu Xiaolian.
Chu Xiaolian had no choice but to retract her palm and dodge.
A group of archers rushed in quickly and surrounded Chu Xiaolian and others.
"If anyone dares to touch a hair of my niece, I will let her die a miserable death with thousands of arrows piercing her heart."
Shangguan Wanning looked back and saw Zheng Bingrong and his men arriving and walking towards her quickly.
She was stunned, her thoughts churning, too complicated to describe in words.
"Walk."
Chu Xiaolian threw several hidden weapons, and several big men in black let go of Sun Jinyao and quickly fled with her.
Zheng Bingrong had no intention of chasing after her. He quickly walked up to Shangguan Wanning and saw that she had lost weight. All the words of blame got stuck in his throat, so he had to swallow them back and sighed heavily.
"Why are you so troublesome, kid?"
Zheng Bingrong tried to hold Shangguan Wanning's hand, but she dodged him.
"Stop messing around and come back with me."
"I won't leave..." Shangguan Wanning felt a chill down her spine when she thought of her respected grandfather and uncle, who could actually kill a hundred thousand soldiers for their own selfish reasons.
"You're not leaving? Then where are you going?" Zheng Bingrong's face darkened. "I don't care what you think. Anyway, I promised your mother that I would send you back safely."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to his men. "Come here, take the young lady away."
The soldiers walked towards Shangguan Wanning, and Sun Jinyao stepped forward quickly and protected Shangguan Wanning behind him again.
"Boy, you can't even protect yourself, so don't meddle in other people's business. Let alone you, Sun Jinyao, who is in dire straits now, even if your father were still alive, I wouldn't take you seriously."
Sun Jinyao ignored Zheng Bingrong's ridicule.
"Ning'er doesn't want to go with you, and no one can force her."
Zheng Bingrong got angry and sneered, "Just you?"
