Chapter 90 Running away
The old man tried hard to recall: "That day, I seemed to hear the sound of fighting, and I also heard someone shouting a few words, saying that they were ordered by the princess..."
Hu Xiner suddenly felt a chill on her back. The group of people who came to kill Mu Qing were actually following the princess's orders?
No wonder the princess, with such a noble status, would rather stay in a farmhouse, endure simple food, and cling to Mu Qing!
I originally thought she was purely in love, but now it seems that all of that was probably a disguise!
She hurried home, feeling extremely regretful that all those stories about domestic intrigues and palace fighting in TV dramas she had read before were in vain!
It's easy to imagine that how could the eldest princess, living in a cannibalistic place like the palace, be innocent?
Seeing her running back in a hurry, Mu Qing quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hu Xin'er lowered her voice: "Where's the eldest princess?"
"Still unconscious." Mu Qing also subconsciously moved closer and answered in a low voice.
"That's good. Let's pack up and leave quickly." The tense string in Hu Xiner's heart loosened a little, and she started to pack up the boxes and drawers.
"Xin'er, what happened?" Mu Qing became nervous because of her. Just as she finished speaking, a bundle of cloth was stuffed into her hand.
As Hu Xin'er retrieved the most important belongings, she whispered, "You were injured by the assassins sent by the princess! Princess, you must have been driven to murder by unrequited love. You won't be let off easily this time!"
"Why do you say that?" Mu Qing took the bundle and subconsciously hung it on his body. "Who told you that?"
"There's no time to explain!" Hu Xin'er was already anxious and short of breath, and his question made her head buzz. She picked up a piece of clothing from the closet and threw it away.
Soon the whole house was turned upside down. Mu Qing had been infected by her nervousness before, but now that he had calmed down, he found that he had many questions.
So he put the bag on the table and tried to calm his voice: "Xin'er, calm down first."
Hu Xin'er turned a deaf ear, but if you listened carefully you could hear her mumbling all the time.
"Just pack two sets of clothes and buy more when you get to the other place. Or just bring the money..."
Her attitude was so serious, but the reasons she gave were really unconvincing.
Mu Qing called out a few more times, but Hu Xin'er didn't hear a word. She just put the valuables into the package and took them out again like a headless fly.
"Xin'er!" Mu Qing had no choice but to hold her shoulders and force her to calm down.
However, he found that Hu Xin'er's whole body was trembling slightly. He had never seen her so scared.
Hu Xin'er looked at him in disbelief, not understanding why he asked her to stop: "What are you doing? It's too late. If we don't escape now, there will be no chance!"
"Calm down first." Mu Qing said soothingly. However, the more he tried to calm Hu Xiner down, the more confused her mind became. She could only imagine the scene of the killer killing them!
She shook her head violently and cried, "Mu Qing, believe me, the princess wants to kill you. That old man heard it himself! Now that we've angered the princess, she'll definitely take action sooner or later!"
Mu Qing was so distressed that he hugged her tightly in his arms: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just speak slowly."
The warm embrace temporarily calmed Hu Xiner's inner fear. She closed her eyes, let out a trembling breath, and tried to calmly relay the result of her question.
Hearing this, Mu Qing pondered and said, "Don't rush to deal with it. The Princess's Shadow Army is very powerful. If they wanted to kill me, they would have done it long ago. Why bother with all this trouble? There must be a misunderstanding!"
Hu Xin'er couldn't listen to these words. She was just an ordinary person and had the same fears and weaknesses as ordinary people!
The assassin at the wedding, the mystery of Mu Qing, the force of the Shadow Guards, and the pressure from the eldest princess...
She thought she didn't care about these things, but they weighed on her mind all the time, until this moment she was on the verge of collapse.
Mu Qing's analysis makes sense, but...
"What if there's no misunderstanding?" She buried her face in Mu Qing's chest, so greedy for his breath.
From Erdong's previous words, Mu Qing knew that he must be a very important person, and the eldest princess would never kill him casually.
Just as he was about to comfort Hu Xiner who was making a fuss, he suddenly felt a wetness in his chest.
He held up Hu Xiner's face and found that Boss Hu, who was confident and generous in the eyes of everyone, was now crying uncontrollably, feeling aggrieved and scared like a child.
"What if she really wants to kill you?" Hu Xin'er asked, choking with sobs, "Mu Qing, I'm so scared. I'm afraid you'll die."
Mu Qing's heart suddenly softened.
If it happened to someone else, or even if Hu Xiner herself encountered such a fatal disaster, she should be able to face it with courage and calmness.
But she was so anxious about Mu Qing that she wanted to cry, and her first reaction was to run back and elope with Mu Qing.
He even didn't care about Erdong, with whom he had a good relationship.
This was because she cared too much and was perhaps not even aware that in the short time they had been together, she already cared so much about Mu Qing.
Even more than caring about her own life.
"No." Mu Qing gently kissed her forehead. "Calm down first, I'll explain it to you slowly."
He was thinking about what method he could use to avoid revealing his identity and at the same time reassure Hu Xiner.
Hu Xin'er hummed in tears, "I believe you."
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the eldest princess rushed in with a look of joy on her face: "Mu Qing, you sent me back personally?"
Seeing the two people hugging each other tightly, her noble and reserved smile froze on her face.
Then he saw the mess in the room, the bundle on the table, and the luggage in Hu Xiner's hand.
She slowly clenched her fists: "Are you going to elope?"
Mu Qing was speechless. There was no way to refute this situation.
Hu Xiner was suddenly caught and was at a loss.
"Okay, you are all fine!" The eldest princess' voice was shaking with anger, but she forced herself to keep smiling.
The two people in front of her, one is her chosen male favorite, and the other is her reserved maid!
She didn't care about her dignity and status as the eldest princess, and was willing to live in this small farmyard.
Since she has shown the same attitude as when she visited the thatched cottage three times, all the people should bow down to her noble personality charm.
But! It’s okay for Hu Xin’er and Mu Qing to show her their love every day, she can think of it as attracting her attention.
But! Now they are actually teaming up to betray her, the noble and graceful princess.
"Princess, you..." It was the first time that Xiaolan saw her princess lose her temper. She was so scared that she couldn't speak clearly.
The eldest princess shouted, "Shadow Guards, catch them!"
The Shadow Guards all appeared and surrounded the two people who were still hugging each other.
