Shangguan Wan Ning slowly approached and found herself lying on the bed. A group of maids and nannies were kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe.
Mu Jingrui stood by her bed, holding her hand tightly, his scarlet eyes seemed to be able to drip blood.
"You won't die... You can't die... Shangguan Wanning, did you hear me? Wake up."
When Shangguan Wanning saw Mu Jingrui's tears slowly falling, her heart began to twitch violently.
"I won't let you die, do you hear me? Don't die... You can't punish me in this way..."
Shangguan Wanning really wanted to go forward and hug Mu Jingrui, but her legs felt as if they were filled with lead and she couldn't move at all.
"Ning'er, I love you... I torture you... Actually I'm afraid of losing you. I want to keep you by my side, Ning'er..."
Shangguan Wanning suddenly burst into tears.
In her previous life, Mu Jingrui had never treated her well, but the warmth he revealed inadvertently made her guess that he liked her.
Now, hearing him say it himself, she felt mixed emotions of sadness and joy.
At this time, Shangguan Wanning saw a guard running in hurriedly, leaning over and whispering a few words in Mu Jingrui's ear.
Mu Jingrui had a blank expression on his face and seemed completely indifferent.
"Sir, the lady has gone. Please calm down and focus on the overall situation."
After the guard finished speaking, he saw Mu Jingrui slowly stand up.
He walked aside and took down the sword hanging on the wall.
He stared for a long time, then drew his sword and slashed it towards his neck.
"Jing Rui..."
Shangguan Wanning's chest felt as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock. She was anxious and sad. A mouthful of blood spurted out and she suddenly sat up.
"Girl?"
Lu Xiangzi immediately pressed several acupoints on Shangguan Wanning's body. The eldest princess was closest to her, so she immediately sat down and let her lean on her body.
"Ning'er, how are you? Don't scare your mother." Mrs. Shangguan wiped the blood stains for Shangguan Wanning tremblingly.
Shangguan Wanning looked around. Was that just... a dream?
No, it wasn't, that scene was so real.
Could it be that, in the previous life, after she died, Mu Jingrui committed suicide for love?
Shangguan Wanning felt heartbroken. She never thought that such a strong and proud man would commit suicide for her?
"Mother..." Shangguan Wan Ning could no longer tell whether it was a dream or reality. She just felt her heart aching and she was about to suffocate. "Mother, where is Jing Rui? I want to see him... I want to see him..."
"Okay, okay, as long as you get better, no matter who you want to see, mother will not stop you." Mrs. Shangguan was worried that her daughter would fall into a coma again, so she agreed to anything.
Shangguan Yue saw that Lu Xiangzi's fingers were always on Shangguan Wanning's pulse, and looked at him anxiously.
After a long time, Lu Xiangzi looked back at Shangguan Yue and nodded slightly.
Shangguan Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ning'er, you should have a good rest first. When you are more energetic, you can meet Mu Jingrui again." The princess gently patted Shangguan Wanning's shoulder and comforted her, "You look so haggard now, aren't you afraid of scaring him?"
Shangguan Wanning gradually calmed down. She looked at her mother's red and swollen eyes and couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Silly child, as long as you are okay." Mrs. Shangguan's eyes were filled with tears, and she lovingly tidied Shangguan Wanning's messy hair.
Lu Xiangzi stood up and said, "Girl, lie down for a while, I'll boil some medicine for you."
"Um."
Shangguan Wanning lay down obediently and closed her eyes again.
Everyone stayed with her for a while, and thinking she had fallen asleep, they tiptoed out.
In fact, Shangguan Wanning couldn't sleep at all. Her mind was full of the scenes she had just seen in her dream, especially the scene where Mu Jingrui drew his sword and committed suicide, which was deeply engraved in her mind.
She suddenly remembered that after her rebirth, she did not think deeply or investigate why she was reborn.
In other words, what exactly did she go through in her previous life?
Her memory froze at the moment she drank the calming soup and fell asleep, and then... when she woke up again, she was back to her 15-year-old age.
What happened before? What happened after?
Shangguan Wanning's thoughts became a tangled mess.
She couldn't calm down and think, she just wanted to see Mu Jingrui as soon as possible.
After reading the secret letter sent by Xiao Yujue, Mu Jingrui crumpled the letter into a ball, placed it in his palm, and then slightly exerted his internal energy to shatter it into pieces.
At this time, the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in.
"grown ups."
"How's the matter I asked you to inquire about?"
"I found out. The imperial physician who returned from the Prime Minister's Residence said that Miss Shangguan was indeed very ill, but she woke up last night."
Mu Jingrui pinched his nose bridge tiredly and waved his hand to signal the butler to leave.
After Shangguan Wan Ning went back in anger last time, the two of them never had the chance to meet again. He didn't dare to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion without permission, but now...
"Sir, someone outside has delivered a letter."
The butler came in again and handed over an envelope respectfully.
Mu Jingrui looked at the lower right corner of the envelope and was stunned. He hurriedly opened it, read it, stood up and walked out.
"Prepare the sedan chair."
Shangguan Wanning felt much better after drinking the medicine prescribed by Lu Xiangzi. She didn't have any serious illness, and she was able to move normally after a night's rest, but her mental state was not very good.
"Mom, why did you bring me to the temple?"
Mrs. Shangguan held her daughter's hand and knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva to pray devoutly.
"You got a serious illness for no apparent reason this time. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva saved you from the disaster. Of course, you have to come and thank the God for his grace."
"oh."
Shangguan Wanning was not interested and kowtowed several times under her mother's gaze.
"Ning'er, I'm going to ask the abbot to give me some money for the incense. You wait for me at the Moon-Watching Pavilion in front."
"good."
Shangguan Wanning took Lutong to the Moon-Watching Pavilion. On the way, Lutong had a stomachache and went to the toilet, so she had to go alone.
Sitting alone in the Moon-Watching Pavilion, looking at the rippling waves on the surface of the artificial lake, she sighed deeply.
"Ning'er."
Shangguan Wanning was stunned and turned around to see Mu Jingrui.
"Jing Rui?"
Shangguan Wanning hurriedly stood up and threw herself into Mu Jingrui's arms.
Her body trembled slightly, and she opened her arms and hugged him tightly, her voice choked with sobs.
"I thought I'd never see you again..."
Mu Jingrui felt that Shangguan Wanning's attitude was a little strange, but he could sense that she seemed very scared.
He held her in his arms, caressed her cheek, and smiled gently: "What nonsense are you talking about. Am I not fine?"
Shangguan Wanning leaned on Mu Jingrui's chest and shook her head.
"Ning'er, did something happen?"
Mu Jingrui wanted to pull Shangguan Wanning out of his arms, but she hugged him even tighter.
Helpless, he had to give up.
