"Ning'er, I know you've been very tired in the past two years. Don't worry, these days will soon be over."
Shangguan Yue patted his daughter's hand and comforted her, "It won't be long before your uncle and Jing Rui will be able to break through the city gate. When His Highness ascends the throne, we will go and bring your mother back to the capital. By then, our family will be reunited, and Dad will have plenty of time to spend with you."
"Okay. When the time comes, you have to make up for the time you owed to your mother over the years."
"Haha, I'm just afraid that by that time you'll be married."
"I won't marry. I will stay with you and mother forever."
Shangguan Wanning took her father's arm and acted coquettishly, leaning on his shoulder, taking the opportunity to wipe away the tears that accidentally fell.
"Really not going to marry? I'm afraid Mu Jingrui will bring his elite soldiers to snatch you away."
Shangguan Yue noticed his daughter's mood change, sighed silently, and said softly: "Ning'er, don't think too much. Whether it's Jing Rui or your uncle and I, we won't let anything happen to you."
Shangguan Wanning knew that she couldn't hide her thoughts from her father, so she nodded slightly.
"Dad, eat some food."
The father and daughter did not continue the sad topic, they just recalled their happy life in the past.
By the time Shangguan Wanning walked out of her father's military tent, it was already late at night.
A gust of evening breeze blew towards her, making her mind particularly clear.
She believed that with the power of her father, Mu Jingrui and her uncle, even if Xiao Yujue personally ordered to send her to Xiao Zhenting, they had the means and ability to protect her.
But if things really develop in this way, the prestige that Mu Jingrui and Zheng Binghong have worked so hard to build up may be completely destroyed.
Even when they led the attack on the capital, there were cases of subordinates disobeying them.
Seeing that they were only one step away from victory, Shangguan Wanning didn't want so many people's efforts to go to waste.
She came to Mu Jingrui's military tent and stood at the door for a long time before she mustered up the courage to go in.
"Ning'er?"
Mu Jingrui couldn't sleep and was wiping his sword. He was a little surprised to see Shangguan Wanning come in.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping yet so late?"
Mu Jingrui pulled Shangguan Wanning into his arms and gently held her hand. "Your hands are cold, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Jing Rui, I..."
"Silly girl." Mu Jingrui hugged Shangguan Wanning tightly, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Go back and have a good sleep. Wait until you wake up tomorrow... um..."
Before Mu Jingrui could finish his words, Shangguan Wanning stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Ning'er, you..." Mu Jingrui was stunned.
Shangguan Wanning is rarely so proactive.
Especially after he married Yin Yuqing, she never took the initiative to show affection to him.
"Jing Rui, you said that after you help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince conquer the capital, you will come to marry me. Do you still keep your word?"
Mu Jingrui gently stroked Shangguan Wanning's face. "Of course it counts. Ning'er, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly..."
"Jingrui, hug me."
Mu Jingrui felt that Shangguan Wanning's behavior was a little strange, but he still hugged her again.
Shangguan Wanning's heart was beating non-stop, and sweat was oozing out of her nervous palms.
She reached out carefully and untied Mu Jingrui's belt.
"Ning'er, what are you doing?"
Mu Jingrui noticed Shangguan Wanning's intention and grabbed her hand.
Shangguan Wanning came out of Mu Jingrui's arms and said with a red face: "I have something to give you."
"What is it?"
"Turn around."
Mu Jingrui became even more confused. He always felt that Shangguan Wanning was a little weird, but he still listened to her.
"Ning'er, what's wrong with you? Did you hear any rumors? Don't worry about them. Anyway, I'm here and I will never let you..."
Shangguan Wanning hugged Mu Jingrui from behind.
This time, Mu Jingrui felt different.
In an instant, his blood boiled, his body temperature rose rapidly, and he didn't even have the courage to look back.
"Ning'er, are you... sick?" Mu Jingrui's voice became hoarse.
Shangguan Wanning said nothing and tried to untie Mu Jingrui's belt again.
Mu Jingrui didn't move, he clenched his fists, and his brain seemed like it was about to explode.
Until Shangguan Wanning blew out the light and kissed his face with her soft lips.
"Jing Rui, don't ask anything... I want to... be your woman..."
Mu Jingrui's remaining rationality told him that it was wrong to do so. He couldn't destroy Shangguan Wanning's innocence and reputation because of a momentary impulse.
but……
Shangguan Wanning wrapped her boneless hands around his neck and kissed his face bit by bit.
His emotions burst out like a flood, no longer under the control of reason.
He turned the passive situation into active one, and held Shangguan Wanning tightly in his arms, picked her up and put her on the bed.
The madness and beauty of this night made the two become a real couple, and also left the most profound memories.
Shangguan Wanning curled up tiredly in Mu Jingrui's arms, like a well-behaved and docile kitten.
"Jingrui, will you... forget me in the future?"
Mu Jingrui chuckled and kissed her gently between the eyebrows. "We will be together every day from now on. It will be difficult for me to forget you."
"So...what if I'm not with you anymore?"
"Ning'er, can you tell me. What happened?"
Mu Jingrui calmed down, turned his head to look at the person in his arms, and stared into her eyes.
"It's okay, it just happened suddenly..." Shangguan Wanning opened her arms and hugged Mu Jingrui, looking at him tenderly.
A silver needle appeared between her fingers.
She slowly kissed Mu Jingrui's lips, and when Mu Jingrui was off guard, she accurately penetrated his neck.
"Ning'er...you..." Mu Jingrui realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. His eyes went dark and he fainted.
Shangguan Wanning closed her eyes in sorrow and pain, stood up, put on her clothes, and covered Mu Jingrui with a blanket.
She looked at Mu Jingrui with nostalgia, gritted her teeth, and walked out of the military tent before tears fell.
It was getting light in the sky, and Shangguan Wanning found Xiao Yujue in the dim light of the rising sun.
"What? You want to enter the palace on your own initiative?"
"You announce to the world that you have killed Mu Jingrui and handed me over as Xiao Zhenting requested, so that he will no longer have an excuse to regret it."
Xiao Yujue didn't react for a moment, and asked nervously: "Jing Rui he..."
"He's fine, Your Highness can rest assured. Xiao Zhenting proposed conditions that he thought you would not agree to. He was just trying to sow discord between you and the other generals, and between Jing Rui and them."
"It's not difficult to create the illusion that Jing Rui is dead, but you... you should know that when you get to Xiao Zhenting's place, I can't guarantee your safety."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I know what to do."
