Wang Bang took Shangguan Wanning along a winding path, making a big detour, but Shangguan Wanning had seen a map of the nearby area in Mu Jingrui's room last night.
She knew that although they had been walking for a long time, they had not actually walked very far. They were just going in circles.
About an hour later, Wang Bang brought Shangguan Wanning to a secluded place with a warehouse in front.
Wang Bang avoided the guards' eyes with ease and sneaked into a dim warehouse with Shangguan Wanning.
"The person you want to see is inside." Wang Bang pointed to the corner, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. You have to go back before Mu Jingrui returns to the Shenji Camp."
Shangguan Wanning looked towards the corner.
The place was filled with boxes, blocking her view. She could only see a pair of feet sticking out.
She walked over carefully and saw a weak man lying in a dark and damp place.
A small beam of sunlight shone through the exhaust vent on the roof. He placed his hands in the sunlight and closed his eyes tightly.
"father……"
Shangguan Wanning's eyes were filled with tears and she ran over quickly, helping her father up and leaning him against her.
"Dad, how are you? Answer me, Dad..."
Shangguan Wanning had never seen her father in such a miserable state, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Shangguan Yue seemed to have heard his daughter's call and slowly opened his eyes.
“Ning’er…”
Shangguan Yue's voice was hoarse, and blood oozed from his cracked lips. "Ning'er, how...how did you come here..."
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you."
Shangguan Yue shook his head and whispered, "Don't worry about me... The court may change... Go back and tell your uncle... Take your mother away from the capital and don't worry about anything..."
Shangguan Wanning burst into tears, and shook her head, trying hard to hold back her tears.
"Dad, I'm grown up now. I will protect Mom. Just hold on. I will come to save you..."
Shangguan Yue still shook his head and didn't even have the strength to speak.
Shangguan Wanning took out a pill from her purse and fed it to Shangguan Yue's mouth, but Wang Bang quickly grabbed her wrist.
"What are you going to do?"
"This medicine is to replenish my father's vitality and increase his nutrition and physical strength. He is old and can't stand your torture at all."
Although there were traces of tears on Shangguan Wanning's face, her eyes were extremely sharp, emitting a cold light.
"I'm warning you, if anything happens to my father, I will make sure you and your master are buried with him."
Wang Bang let go of Shangguan Wanning's hand.
After Shangguan Wanning fed her father the medicine, her father fell into a deep sleep.
She dragged her father to the corner and let him lean against the wall. Looking at her father's face, she tidied up his messy hair.
Scenes from my previous life came to my mind.
Shangguan Wanning slowly stood up, looked at Wang Bang and said, "Take off your coat."
"What?"
"Take it off." Shangguan Wan Ning scolded.
Wang Bang hesitated slightly, but still took it off and handed it to Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wan Ning covered her father's body and turned to look at Wang Bang. "Listen carefully, my father is the head of the government and has been pampered for decades. He can't stand any abuse or torture. If you want me to do something for you, you'd better treat my father well."
"That depends on your performance. If you kill Mu Jingrui tonight, you can come and pick him up tomorrow morning."
"Okay, it's a deal."
Shangguan Wanning looked back at her father deeply, then walked out of the warehouse while suppressing her sadness.
After she returned to the Shenji Camp, she remained calm and composed, and did not behave abnormally in front of anyone.
She even continued to examine the soldiers together with other doctors.
Wang Bang watched Shangguan Wanning from afar and was also impressed by the calmness of this woman.
After the morning court the next day, Mu Jingrui couldn't wait to rush back to the Shenji Camp.
He came to Shangguan Wanning's room and saw her leaning on the windowsill alone in a daze, so he put the food box in his hand on the table.
"Ning'er, I brought you some cakes from the capital, come and have some."
Shangguan Wanning was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at Mu Jingrui, and slowly walked in front of him.
"Actually... there are two things I've always wanted to ask you."
Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wanning and said with a smile, "I'm not used to you being so serious all of a sudden. What's the matter? Just ask."
"Why are you... so nice to me?"
Mu Jingrui was stunned, seeming a little surprised by Shangguan Wanning's question.
Then, he smiled faintly and replied: "Because I love you. Ning'er, you should know that."
"That's the second thing I want to ask you." Shangguan Wanning's eyes welled up with tears. "Since you love me, why... do you want to break off the engagement?"
"Ning'er, I have been looking for an opportunity to explain to you about the broken engagement." Mu Jingrui held Shangguan Wanning's hand, "I have never thought about breaking the engagement. From the beginning to the end, the person I wanted to marry was you. It's just..."
Mu Jingrui recounted the entire situation.
It was only at this time that Shangguan Wanning realized that there really was a hidden story that she was unaware of.
"Ning'er, you have to believe me. I really had no choice. Xiaoyan is my only relative, and she was pregnant at the time. I couldn't just ignore her."
Mu Jingrui increased the strength of his palms. He looked at Shangguan Wanning, whose face was calm, and his thoughts became flustered.
"Ning'er, please give me another chance. The Queen Mother has passed away. I promise you that this will never happen again."
Shangguan Wanning was silent for a long time and pulled her hand away from Mu Jingrui's palm.
"Even if I believe you... we can't go back." Shangguan Wanning's voice was very soft, "You have already married Yin Yuqing, and I... have also been engaged to Brother Yao."
"Don't worry about Yin Yuqing, don't worry about Sun Jinyao." Mu Jingrui's heart was filled with anger, "You, Shangguan Wanning, can only be my woman in this life."
Mu Jingrui's domineering behavior made Shangguan Wanning feel helpless.
“Ning’er…”
"You can betray me for your sister, so...if one day I betray you for my family, will you forgive me?"
Mu Jingrui felt heartbroken as he watched Shangguan Wanning's tears silently fall.
"No matter what you did to me, I won't blame you. Ning'er... um..."
Before Mu Jingrui could finish his words, Shangguan Wanning took the initiative to kiss him on the lips.
This made his thoughts churn, his heart surge, and the blood in his body seemed to be burning.
Mu Jingrui hugged Shangguan Wanning tightly and responded to her kiss.
Shangguan Wanning's hand quietly went around Mu Jingrui's back, she took out a dagger that she had prepared in advance from her sleeve, and stabbed it fiercely into Mu Jingrui's body.
