Chapter 109 Death
"Yesterday's events were so thrilling and dramatic, perfect material for a story!" Hu Xin'er said with deep regret, "And yet I missed out on it. What a shame!"
Several people burst into laughter.
Erdong gave her a thumbs-up and said, "You're incredibly brave! The assassin is fighting your husband right next to you, but your mind is full of your own story!"
Hu Xin'er reacted and scratched her head embarrassedly: "Doesn't that mean... Mu Qing is not injured?"
Mu Qing came over with the buns in hand. After learning what had just happened, he sighed helplessly, "You really are a painting geek!"
"No wonder everything in the room was in a mess when I woke up." Although Hu Xiner knew from Erdong and the others that Mu Qing was not injured, she still went forward to check.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing put down the buns and was about to clean up the room, but Hu Xin'er stopped him: "Wait, this is for you."
She returned the dagger to Mu Qing, who was a little surprised: "I'll just buy an ordinary dagger to protect myself."
"But this dagger means a lot to you, and you and he have known each other for a long time."
After Hu Xin'er finished explaining, she said to him affectionately, "Mu Qing, I don't want you to be like Lu Yunjue, the star of everyone's show, always getting into danger for no reason. I only want you to be my Mu Qing, and be safe. So, protect yourself, so that you can better protect me."
Mu Qing was so moved that he was speechless, holding the dagger.
"Xin'er, why are you so nice?" He put the dagger in his arms and hugged Hu Xin'er emotionally.
The eldest princess's hands were ready to move.
Erdong held her hand and said, "They are expressing their true feelings. I advise you not to tarnish other people's feelings with your actions."
The eldest princess lowered her head and looked at his big hands pressing on her back, the scorching temperature burning directly into her heart.
She smiled sweetly: "How do you know I'm not expressing my true feelings?"
Erdong wanted to take his hand back, but she held it back.
"Let go, let go!" Erdong felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
The eldest princess said coquettishly: "No, you touched my hand, and I will touch it back~ Men, you light the fire yourself, you have to put it out yourself."
When she turned around, she found that Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing, who were originally immersed in the warm atmosphere, were looking at her awkwardly.
This kind of cheesy and overbearing quotes sometimes really ruin the atmosphere!
"Princess, it's getting late. The carriage outside is ready and we can set off at any time!" Xiaolan reminded as she walked in.
"Eh? Aren't you not leaving?" Hu Xin'er was very surprised.
"I decided to take the captured assassin back to the capital first, and then hand him over to the Dali Temple to find out who is behind this." The eldest princess was a little sad when she mentioned this topic.
"Will it alert the enemy?" Mu Qing asked kindly.
"Don't underestimate my connections. The Dali Temple Minister is an acquaintance of mine." The eldest princess patted Erdong's hand, "Don't worry."
"What if we encounter an assassin again?" Hu Xiner did not participate in last night's meeting. Seeing that the three of them looked as if they knew everything, she looked confused.
It feels like everyone is using 5G data, but I am using 2G network.
Erdong explained, "The princess will leave behind a few shadow guards to protect Mu Qing. I will stay as well."
"In other words, Mu Qing doesn't need to become Lu Yunjue? He doesn't need to go back to the capital anymore?" Hu Xin'er was a little bit unbelievable.
Although she and Mu Qing had imagined such a life before, they did not expect that this day would come so soon.
"What are you thinking about?" The eldest princess complained rudely, "I have to go back to the capital, but I can't do it so hastily. I'll go back and take a look at the situation first, and then find an opportunity to bring him back."
Mu Qing explained to Hu Xiner in a gentle voice that the court was volatile and people's hearts were complicated. In addition, one of them had lost his memory and the other was a village woman, so they were not in an advantageous position.
If we find the right time to bring him back to Beijing, it will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Hu Xiner felt that the eldest princess's image suddenly became taller. Why did she feel that she was the only one present who didn't understand politics?
"Princess, the carriage is outside the door." Xiaolan urged again. She felt that her eldest princess was too kind-hearted and had suffered so much in the countryside for nothing.
The eldest princess walked out of the door reluctantly. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, she suddenly turned around and threw herself on Erdong: "Erdong! I can't bear to leave you!"
"Princess, men and women should not touch each other!" Erdong, who originally thought he had finally escaped from the clutches of the princess, had a smile frozen on his face.
But this time the eldest princess did not argue with him, but sobbed softly.
"Are you crying?" Erdong felt at a loss. "There are plenty of fish in the sea! Don't be so fragile..."
The eldest princess buried herself in his arms and cried, "After I leave, you are not allowed to find another woman."
Erdong is speechless.
How should he respond to this? If he said he wouldn't look for her, that would be giving the princess unnecessary hope.
But if he insisted on finding another woman, the princess would probably tie him up and take him away on the spot.
After thinking for a long time, he could only utter this sentence: "I'm not Lu Yunjue, you think too highly of me."
Mu Qing, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, quickly clarified: "I'm only looking for Xin'er."
"Why are you butting in on a young couple's conversation?" Hu Xiner stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear.
With Erdong as a comparison, she suddenly realized that her husband was so perfect.
Although he doesn't like to show his feelings normally, he has a lot of tricks when it comes to expressing his feelings.
Unlike Erdong, a burly man who was often left speechless by the eldest princess, his face turned red with anxiety and he could only utter one sentence in a dry voice.
She felt that Erdong was not completely indifferent to the eldest princess.
Indeed, facing the eldest princess who rarely showed her vulnerable side, the usually unenthusiastic Erdong was also somewhat moved.
"Wipe your tears." He stretched out his hand clumsily.
The eldest princess raised her head with lightning speed and took the opportunity to kiss him: "You really do care about me. This is our kiss of love. You are not allowed to wipe off the lip marks!"
Erdong touched his face blankly and pushed the princess away: "You are actually pretending to cry!"
He was so angry, he felt that his feelings had been betrayed again!
Xiaolan protected the eldest princess and coughed lightly. The shadow guards showed their heads from all directions.
At this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard, and a man was riding a horse at full speed.
When he saw the princess, he dismounted without a word and knelt on one knee: "Princess, His Majesty has passed away! The court is in turmoil. Please return to the court as soon as possible."
"What did you say?" The eldest princess widened her eyes.
Before anyone could recover from the news, he turned to Erdong again and said, "Is this the Imperial Guard, Erdong? His Majesty, before his death, has ordered that you escort the Princess back to the capital. Let's depart today!"
