Shangguan Wanning was seen wearing a white dress, with long black hair hanging down and the hairpins sparkling. She was walking slowly towards Mu Jingrui.
Everyone consciously made way for Shangguan Wanning.
There seemed to be a smell of gunpowder in the air.
Those who had a grudge against Mu Jingrui were secretly gloating and waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
"Master Mu is getting married, why didn't you send me an invitation?"
Shangguan Wanning walked in front of Mu Jingrui.
Mu Jingrui just stared at her blankly.
Her eyes were still filled with red bloodshot, and even though she covered them with makeup, she looked exhausted.
"Master Mu, are you worried that I can't afford the gift, or are you worried that I will do something irrational?"
Mu Jingrui lowered his head, avoiding Shangguan Wanning's gaze, and remained silent.
Shangguan Wanning was indignant. She hated Mu Jingrui for still avoiding her.
She made a gesture, and the accompanying guard took a long and narrow box in both hands.
Shangguan Wanning gently opened it and took out a sword.
She pulled it out slowly, and the sword tip flashed with a cold and sharp light.
Everyone present stared at Shangguan Wanning's hand, almost holding their breath.
"Master Mu, what do you think of this sword? Do you like it?"
A faint smile appeared on Shangguan Wanning's lips.
Mu Jingrui stared at him, his heart sinking.
"very good."
His voice was hoarse, as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth.
"I don't have anything to give to Master Mu, so I'll give you my sword. Is that okay?"
Mu Jingrui's chest heaved as he tried his best to suppress his emotions that were about to explode at any time.
“Ning’er…”
Mu Jingrui subconsciously took a step forward, and a sharp light flashed in Shangguan Wanning's eyes.
She raised her sword towards Mu Jingrui and pressed it against his chest.
The guests watching let out a burst of sighs.
Everyone stared at Shangguan Wanning's wrist.
Mu Jingrui was so disheartened that he was willing to die in Shangguan Wanning's hands without any regrets.
Shangguan Wanning was heartbroken. She wanted Mu Jingrui to give her an explanation, even if it was just an apology.
The two confronted each other for a long time.
"You do it." Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wanning and actually smiled faintly.
"Do you think I don't dare?" Shangguan Wanning's voice turned cold.
Mu Jingrui didn't answer and just looked at Shangguan Wanning.
He wanted to remember her appearance clearly. Even if he reached the Naihe Bridge or drank Mengpo soup, he would not forget her.
I'll have to wait until my next life to say "I'm sorry" to her.
"Princess, please show mercy."
Yin Yuqing on the side couldn't help it any longer. She didn't care about propriety and shame, she tore off her red veil and grabbed Shangguan Wanning's sleeve and begged.
"I know that my husband has let you down, but...relationships cannot be forced. Now that things have come to this, please stop making things difficult for him."
Shangguan Wanning's brain exploded with a bang.
She suddenly realized that she was no longer Mu Jingrui's only one, and she even lost the qualifications to stand by his side.
She thought she could change her fate of being his concubine, but who knew...
"Princess, I beg you."
Seeing that Shangguan Wanning was indifferent and Mu Jingrui had no intention of resisting, Yin Yuqing had no choice but to kneel down.
"Princess, as long as you can let my husband go, I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay you."
Husband?
Shangguan Wanning looked down at Yin Yuqing. She didn't know if Yin Yuqing and Mu Jingrui had been together behind her back for a long time, or...
Everything seems not so important anymore.
"Mu Jingrui, I only have one question for you, and you answer it in front of everyone. Why... didn't you come on the day of our wedding?"
"because……"
Mu Jingrui really wanted to tell the truth, but Mu Jingyan had not come back yet.
He clenched his fists, closed his eyes in pain, and finally said softly: "I have nothing to say."
Shangguan Wanning was completely desperate.
She never imagined that the King of Zhennan, who would become famous and powerful in the future, would actually be a coward in terms of feelings.
Shangguan Wanning felt hopeless, and she felt as if the whole world had darkened in an instant.
Mu Jingrui saw the despair in Shangguan Wanning's eyes, and he absolutely could not let the woman he loved deeply continue to sink.
"I will give you an explanation..."
As soon as Mu Jingrui finished speaking, he took a big step forward.
Everyone exclaimed immediately.
The long sword in Shangguan Wanning's hand pierced Mu Jingrui's chest.
Blood fell drop by drop.
Seeing this, the guard finally managed to hold back and rushed forward.
Mu Jingrui made a gesture, indicating that everyone was not allowed to come forward.
He raised his eyes and stared at Shangguan Wanning, and whispered: "I will give you my life, I..."
Shangguan Wan Ning was confused.
She really thought about killing Mu Jingrui to vent her anger, but when she saw that he was seriously injured, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Why?
Shangguan Wanning felt dizzy and fell forward.
Mu Jingrui wanted to catch her, but a gust of palm wind came towards him. He subconsciously gathered his true energy to fight back, but was afraid of hurting Shangguan Wanning in front of him, so he could only use half of his strength.
Mu Jingrui, who was already injured, was pushed back several steps. A figure flashed before his eyes and caught Shangguan Wanning steadily.
"You don't deserve to touch her."
Familiar mask, familiar voice.
Sun Jinyao picked up the unconscious Shangguan Wanning and was about to leave, but two groups of guards came up to stop him.
He sprinkled a handful of powder, and the guards retreated one after another. He took the opportunity to take Shangguan Wanning and jumped out of the window.
“Ning’er…”
Mu Jingrui gritted his teeth and drew out his sword, wanting to chase after him, but suddenly his wrist tightened.
He turned around and saw Yin Yuqing pulling him with tears in her eyes.
"Don't go, please... don't leave me..."
Mu Jingrui shook off Yin Yuqing's hand and chased for a few steps before he felt the blood boiling in his dantian.
The external and internal injuries made his whole body hot, as if he was about to explode.
He was caught off guard and vomited a large mouthful of blood. His vision gradually blurred and he finally fell to the ground.
In a trance, Shangguan Wanning seemed to feel a cool and warm breeze brushing across her cheeks, and the sweet taste slowly seeped into her mouth. In her ears, there was a melodious flute sound.
She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. When she woke up again, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room.
The air is filled with a refreshing fragrance.
"You're awake."
"Brother Yao..."
Shangguan Wanning choked up before she could even open her mouth to speak.
"I have sent a letter to your parents, telling them that you are safe. Don't worry. The environment here is quiet and serene, and no one will disturb you. It is a good place for you to recuperate and heal your wounds."
Sun Jinyao cooled a bowl of millet porridge and handed it to Shangguan Wanning. "Eat something. No matter what you plan to do, what you want to do, or where you want to go, I will accompany you."
