You Zhenzhen looked at the three things brought to her by the guards. She knew that her death was approaching and there was no possibility of survival.
She turned her head and looked outside. A ray of soft light from the setting sun shone in, making her feel calm.
She suddenly felt absolutely sorry for everyone around her.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
With Xiao Yujue's current power, she is temporarily unable to take any revenge on her mother's family. Perhaps... it will never be possible in this lifetime.
You Zhenzhen slowly walked to the three-meter-long white silk and stroked it gently and calmly.
She took the white silk and hung it on the beam.
"Wait a moment."
Mu Jingyan walked in and You Zhenzhen didn't even turn her head.
"Why? Are you here to supervise me, or to laugh at my joke?"
"I just... came to give you something like this."
Mu Jingyan walked up to You Zhenzhen and handed her a letter.
On the envelope, the words "Divorce" were clearly written.
In an instant, the tears in You Zhenzhen's eyes flowed down.
"I can't ask His Highness to spare your life on your behalf, but this thing... I hope it will make your life easier."
You Zhenzhen took the divorce letter and hugged it tightly in her arms, crying and muttering to herself: "Zijun, I can be with you... I can marry you..."
After crying, You Zhenzhen started laughing again.
She carefully put the divorce letter in her arms, wiped her tears and stepped onto the stool.
Her determination and frankness deeply touched Mu Jingyan's heart.
Mu Jingyan couldn't bear to watch You Zhenzhen commit suicide, so he turned and walked out.
With a "bang" and the sound of the bench falling to the ground, she knew that a young life had been lost.
Mu Jingrui came back, but Zhao Zijun ran away.
He did not pursue it relentlessly.
Firstly, Zhao Zijun was just a minor character, so there was no need to waste too much time on him. At that time, he did not know what kind of damage Zhao Zijun had left on Xiao Yujue;
Secondly, Mu Jingrui wanted to come back as soon as possible to find out Shangguan Wanning's whereabouts.
But... no one, including the eldest princess and Huo Gang, could say specifically whether Shangguan Wanning was alive or dead.
That day, when they woke up, they were all tied up tightly and placed on a carriage, heading towards the capital.
However, Shangguan Wanning was never seen again.
Huo Gang had been trying to find a chance to escape, but he was unable to do so because he was seriously injured.
Fortunately, they happened to meet the Wuji Sect disciples who came looking for Huo Gang.
It turned out that the current leader of Wuji Sect had caused dissatisfaction among many disciples because of his brutal and immoral behavior.
Everyone discussed secretly and finally chose to rebel collectively and kill the leader with a snipe.
They all agreed that Huo Gang was the only one who could lead Wuji Sect back to its peak, so they traveled thousands of miles to the capital to find Huo Gang.
What a coincidence it is, they saved Huo Gang and others.
"If my guess is correct, Ning'er should have been sent back to the capital before us."
The princess had been thinking about it. She felt that Xiao Zhenting must still have feelings for Shangguan Wanning. That was why he went to so much trouble to save her life without affecting the overall situation.
Mu Jingrui remained silent.
"Since Xiao Zhenting did not kill Miss Shangguan immediately, it means that Miss Shangguan is still useful to him and her life is not in danger for the time being."
When Xiao Yujue said this, he looked directly at Mu Jingrui. "The most urgent thing right now is to break out and join the Prime Minister."
No one raised any objections, and everyone seemed to think that this arrangement was the most appropriate.
Only Mu Jingrui and Zheng Binghong had flickering eyes.
"I'm going to find Ning'er."
Mu Jingrui's sudden words made what Xiao Yujue had been worried about become a reality.
"Jing Rui, you..."
"Your Highness, even if Xiao Zhenting won't kill her, she has a strong personality. If Xiao Zhenting humiliates her, she will definitely not live in humiliation."
This is what Mu Jingrui is most worried about.
Every day Shangguan Wanning stays with Xiao Zhenting is a day more of danger, which is also a painful torture for him.
He couldn't get through a day like this.
"General Mu, we will soon face the imperial reinforcements. We simply do not have the extra troops to attack the capital. If we turn back... what is the difference between that and sending our brothers to their deaths?"
"I know, so..." Mu Jingrui was still calm, "I will go alone."
"That won't work either."
Another deputy general stood up impatiently, looking a little angry.
"We are fighting against the imperial reinforcements. As the commander-in-chief, you are not here. How can you let your brothers fight this battle?"
"The Prince Consort is here."
Mu Jingrui's attitude seemed very firm, which made everyone present a little annoyed.
"The Prince Consort has rich experience in marching and fighting, and none of us would doubt it. However, he is alone and cannot handle everything. General Mu, you led us out of the capital, and now you abandon us at this critical moment of life and death. Isn't that too unkind?"
These words made Mu Jingrui feel a little ashamed.
He was very clear about the current situation, but Shangguan Wanning's disappearance became a huge rock weighing on his heart.
He could not tolerate Shangguan Wanning's whereabouts being unknown. He was worried that she would be hiding in some corner, struggling and waiting for his rescue.
"elder brother……"
Mu Jingyan came forward and pulled her sleeve, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
Zheng Binghong also came over and said in a low voice: "I know you are worried about Ning'er, I am the same as you. But if you leave now, Ning'er will look down on you in the future. For the time being, help the prince break through."
"As long as you are free from the imperial support, I will definitely support you when you think about saving Ning'er."
Mu Jingrui was speechless. Zheng Binghong patted his shoulder gently and the two exchanged glances.
Mu Jingrui could only nod helplessly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
By the third day, Mu Jingrui and others were face to face with the imperial reinforcements.
The enemy's number was several times theirs, and they were well-equipped, with each of them being an infantryman carefully trained by the imperial court.
As the two sides confronted each other, the general leading the army shouted loudly: "Is the person leading the troops in front General Zheng Binghong?"
Zheng Binghong was slightly startled, then he rode his horse forward a little and replied, "That's right."
"Brother Zheng."
The enemy general shouted, dismounted, and walked towards Zheng Binghong alone.
When he walked in, Zheng Binghong took a closer look and found that it was a close confidant who once followed his father. He was surprised and happy.
He also dismounted and went forward.
The two talked for a while, and Zheng Binghong led him to Xiao Yujue.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be polite."
"Your Highness, this brother said that he is willing to surrender to Your Highness with all his men and be at Your disposal."
This is such an unexpected surprise.
