Chu Xiaolian dodged sideways, and the shrine behind her was split in half.
A figure flashed by and stood in front of Shangguan Wanning.
"Are you okay?" Sun Jinyao looked at Chu Xiaolian and asked Shangguan Wanning in a low voice.
Shangguan Wanning hesitated to speak and shook her head gently.
"You're really pitiful. No wonder men are crazy about you." Chu Xiaolian couldn't stand Shangguan Wanning's evasive look. She condensed her true energy in her palm and was about to attack Sun Jinyao.
"You'd better understand the situation. As long as I have something to do, the guards outside will come in. Not the ones just now, but..."
Chu Xiaolian hesitated slightly, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
"If anything happens to him..." Chu Xiaolian fiercely warned him, "I will come to find you again. When the time comes, no matter who backs you up, I will make sure you die without a complete corpse."
After saying that, Chu Xiaolian jumped out of the window and left.
Shangguan Wan Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then she felt exhausted all over, and could only stand by leaning against a pillar.
"Ning'er, how are you?" Sun Jinyao held Shangguan Wanning, looked at her pale face, and felt her pulse. "Go back and let the old monster take a look at you."
Shangguan Wanning sighed deeply and followed Sun Jinyao back home in a daze.
The night was getting dark and the stars were shining brightly. Mu Jingrui stood under the night sky, looked up at the starry sky, and countless images flashed through his mind.
It is hard to predict whether he will suffer any good or bad luck on this journey. Should he...
Go and see Shangguan Wanning.
Before I knew it, a slender shadow appeared beside me.
He frowned slightly and said coldly: "Next time, if you break into my house without permission again, I will not be polite."
Chu Xiaolian felt a little sad. She looked at Mu Jingrui's tall and slender figure and said softly, "I went to find her and asked her to see you off tomorrow."
Mu Jingrui's eyes lit up and he turned around to look at Chu Xiaolian.
This woman...didn't seem to treat him like an employer.
"But I'm not sure if she will come." Chu Xiaolian lowered her eyelids, not daring to look Mu Jingrui in the eye.
Mu Jingrui couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, and said lightly: "From now on, don't worry about my affairs."
After he finished speaking, he was about to go back to his room. He walked past Chu Xiaolian and paused for a moment before opening his mouth and saying softly, "Thank you."
Chu Xiaolian watched Mu Jingrui's figure disappear in the corridor, a smile blooming on her face.
This was the first time he had been friendly to her.
No matter how much injustice she had suffered before, she felt that it could be written off.
At dawn the next day, Mu Jingrui assembled his army and prepared to set off. He made a brief stop at the city gate to see off the families of the accompanying soldiers.
Mu Jingrui rode on a horse. He looked around and saw only the feeling of reluctance to part.
His eyes always stayed on the long and winding path, and he was expecting the figure he missed to appear.
However, time passed little by little, and Shangguan Wanning never came.
"Brother, the time has come, it's time to set off." Mu Jingyan reminded in a low voice.
Mu Jingrui raised his head and looked at the azure sky, which seemed filled with sadness of farewell.
Maybe……
That's all I can do.
"Brother, it will come, it has already come. Some things...can't be forced."
Mu Jingrui looked down at his sister and sneered, "You are wrong. I insist on forcing you."
The determination in his eyes made Mu Jingyan shudder.
Mu Jingrui signaled the soldiers to blow the horn, and everyone returned to their positions, and the army marched slowly.
On a hillside not far away, Shangguan Wanning stood on a high place, watching the team go farther and farther away.
She knew that this was the beginning of Mu Jingrui's career, and she hoped that he could achieve success soon.
Now, Shangguan Wanning no longer hopes that their relationship will last forever. She only hopes that when he returns with fame and fortune, he will remember the promise he made to her.
After Mu Jingrui arrived at the southwestern border, the twelve small countries relied on the advantages of the alliance and refused to lower their demands on the court, nor did they take the young Mu Jingrui seriously.
The other party even sent an alliance envoy to negotiate with Mu Jingrui.
It is said to be a negotiation, but in fact it is a warning.
Mu Jingrui didn't tolerate them at all and launched an attack the next day.
To his surprise, the other side was indeed well prepared. In the first battle, neither side gained an advantage.
In the following days, Mu Jingrui devoted himself to the battle, and occasionally received letters from Mu Jingyan.
After all, this younger sister understood him and loved him, and would mention Shangguan Wanning when she was chatting with him.
He learned that she was fine.
Shangguan Wanning spent all her energy and time studying medicine.
Lu Xiangzi felt more and more that Shangguan Wanning had a high talent in this area. Many people needed three or four years to comprehend and learn something, but she could understand it in a few months or even a few days.
"Miss."
Lu Tong pushed the door open, and Shangguan Wan Ning put down the medical skills in her hands, looking a little unhappy.
"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you not to bother me unless it's important?"
Lu Tong was a little embarrassed and said, "It was Madam who asked me to come here. Just now, when the Second Miss was admiring the flowers in the garden, she suddenly had a stomachache and her face turned pale. Madam has sent someone to the palace to ask for the imperial physician. She is worried that something might happen to the Second Miss, so please come over and help take a look."
Shangguan Wanning sighed silently.
It is really a hassle to bring Shangguan Xiaoxiao back to take care of the pregnancy.
She was pregnant with the King of Qin's child, and everyone in the palace was very wary of her, fearing that they would not be able to take responsibility if anything went wrong.
Even her mother tried her best and personally supervised Shangguan Xiaoxiao's meals, but Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't know what was good for her and had no peace all day long.
"Miss, are you going?" Lu Tong asked cautiously.
"Can I not go?" Shangguan Wanning said unhappily.
When she arrived at Shangguan Xiaoxiao's courtyard, the imperial physician had already arrived. After examining her, he prescribed pregnancy-preserving medicine.
"How is it? Is Xiaoxiao okay?" Madam Shangguan asked the imperial physician nervously.
"Madam Shangguan, please rest assured. Miss Second just ate too much and has food stagnation in her stomach. It's nothing serious. Just be more careful in the future."
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help laughing out loud, and Mrs. Shangguan gave her a reproachful look, so she had to try her best to hold it in.
She whispered to Lu Tong, "She relies on her pregnancy to make the entire Prime Minister's Mansion revolve around her. They keep sending food to her room for twelve hours a day, just like a buffet. It would be strange if she didn't get too full."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Mrs. Shangguan came in after sending the imperial physician away and just happened to hear what her daughter said.
"Xiaoxiao had severe morning sickness. She threw up after eating, so of course she was hungry easily. When you get married in the future, you will understand this kind of pain after experiencing it."
Shangguan Wanning made a face, walked forward and took her mother's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Mom, I won't marry. I want to stay with you and Dad for the rest of my life. That way, you don't have to worry about me suffering like this."
