Shangguan Wanning bit her lips lightly, closed her eyes, and continued to undress Mu Jingrui with stiff movements.
She forced herself not to recall the past when they were together, but the fragments that emerged in her mind made her cheeks even hotter.
"ah."
Mu Jingrui suddenly grabbed Shangguan Wanning's wrist. She was caught off guard and couldn't help but scream.
"Are you a doctor or not? Why did you take so long to undress me? If I was waiting for you to save my life, wouldn't I have died long ago?"
Shangguan Wanning was choked and speechless.
She opened her mouth to explain, but when she looked up and saw the cunning light in Mu Jingrui's eyes, she immediately understood.
Shangguan Wanning pulled back her hand, pushed Mu Jingrui hard, and roared, "Mu Jingrui, go to hell."
He had clearly seen through her identity a long time ago, and the reason he asked her to apply medicine for him just now was definitely to tease her.
Shangguan Wanning turned and left.
"Where are you going?" Mu Jingrui blocked Shangguan Wanning's way. Seeing her angry look, he softened his heart instantly. "Sit down, and talk slowly if you have anything to say."
"I have nothing to say to you."
Shangguan Wanning was angry that Mu Jingrui not only did not keep the appointment, but also gave the letter she wrote to Yin Yuqing.
If Ge Shuyan hadn't come to her rescue that day, she wouldn't have known how to get off the stage.
"You have nothing to say to me? Then why did you come to the Shenji Camp?"
Shangguan Wanning was speechless for a moment.
"You should know what the Shenjiying is. If anyone finds out that you came here under an assumed name, you will be killed without mercy. You don't need to report to any department in the court. Even if your father comes, he won't be able to find fault with you."
When Shangguan Wanning mentioned her father, her eyes instantly turned red.
Mu Jingrui's heart softened even more, and he felt extremely distressed. He reached out and gently stroked Shangguan Wanning's face, coaxing her gently and patiently.
"Ning'er, what happened? Tell me."
"You clearly know it... Mu Jingrui, why are you still pretending?"
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly and asked, "Did we have any misunderstanding?"
"You...haven't read the letter I wrote to you?"
"What letter?"
Shangguan Wanning told the story again, and Mu Jingrui's heart suddenly surged with anger.
He didn't expect that Yin Yuqing, who was usually weak and timid, was actually so brave that she dared to withhold the letter written to him by Shangguan Wanning.
"Ning'er, I really didn't receive your letter. Let's talk about this later." Mu Jingrui shook Shangguan Wanning's hand and apologized for the injustice she had suffered. "You just said that the black-clad man who held you hostage that day had a token from the Shenjiying around his waist?"
"Yes."
"You didn't see it wrong?"
Since Shangguan Wanning only saw half of it at the time, she was not completely sure.
Seeing her hesitation, Mu Jingrui walked to the desk, opened the secret compartment and took out a rectangular box.
"Ning'er, come and take a look."
Mu Jingrui opened the box, and Shangguan Wanning saw four tokens inside that were of the same shape but with slightly strange patterns.
"These……"
"The Shenjiying is divided into four branches, and each branch performs different tasks. Therefore, the tokens will also be different. Take a closer look and see which one you see."
Shangguan Wanning calmed down, picked up the tokens and examined them carefully for a long time, then pointed to one of the tokens and said, "This is it."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure." Shangguan Wanning looked at Mu Jingrui's frowning face and asked curiously, "What level do I have to reach to get a token?"
"Commander-in-Chief."
"As far as I know, there are only eight lieutenant generals in the Shenji Battalion."
Mu Jingrui nodded.
As expected of a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has a certain understanding of the affairs in the court.
"I'll go check which of the eight lieutenant generals has left the camp recently. You stay here and don't run around."
Shangguan Wanning was a little unconvinced and wanted to refute Mu Jingrui, but when she thought about her father's life being involved, she dared not be willful anymore and nodded obediently.
Mu Jingrui walked out, and before leaving he specifically instructed the guard outside the door that no one was allowed to enter or leave his room without his permission.
Shangguan Wanning was a little angry, and she didn't know whether Mu Jingrui's order was to imprison her or to protect her.
The room fell silent. The tension of the past few days had made Shangguan Wan Ning feel exhausted.
She felt sleepy and fell asleep on the table.
When she woke up again, Shangguan Wan Ning found herself lying on the bed.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked up to see Mu Jingrui sitting at the desk reading official documents.
"It's daybreak?"
"Yeah." Mu Jingrui stood up and walked in front of Shangguan Wanning, "Are you hungry? I've asked the servants to bring breakfast in. You can eat after you get up and wash up."
When Shangguan Wanning saw the various breakfasts on the table, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"By the way, how did you do last night?"
"Don't worry, we'll talk while we eat after we finish washing up."
Shangguan Wanning was in no mood and simply washed her face with clean water. Mu Jingrui had already peeled an egg for her and put it in a bowl.
"At the appropriate time, only one lieutenant general named Wang Bang left. However, I secretly searched his room and found nothing."
Shangguan Wanning stopped what she was doing and looked at Mu Jingrui meaningfully.
"What? You still doubt me?"
Shangguan Wanning shook her head.
"I just still can't figure out the real purpose of the other party taking my father away. Moreover, he asked me to do two things that day. But he never showed up again. What exactly is the problem?"
"Right now, the court seems calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents. Now that your father is not here, if there is any movement from the emperor, I'm afraid... it will be bad for the prince."
Mu Jingrui was very pleased that Shangguan Wanning trusted him from beginning to end.
"Ning'er, you can stay in the Shenji Camp for a few more days to observe and secretly monitor that person."
Shangguan Wanning thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
With Mu Jingrui's protection and secret help, things will naturally be much easier to do.
After breakfast, Shangguan Wanning walked towards the room where she used to live. She found that everyone who passed by her gave her a strange look.
She was puzzled and looked down at her clothes.
There's no problem.
At noon, General Wu arrived.
"Doctor Li, Lord Mu asked me to tell you that he needs to go back to the city and will be back tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Oh... OK." Shangguan Wanning felt that General Wu was looking at her in a strange way, and couldn't help asking, "General Wu, did I... do something wrong? Why do you seem..."
"Huh?" General Wu was stunned, then he laughed.
He turned around to see that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Li, do you know that Master Mu is famous for not being interested in women?"
