Mu Feiyu's subordinates followed the sound and looked over, immediately retracting all their movements.
Seeing that she was threatening to kill herself, Mu Beichen immediately stopped in his tracks. He loosened his grip on his right hand, and the sword fell to the ground with a clatter. This sound went unnoticed by anyone on the chaotic street.
What surprised him most was not Mu Feiyu's ulterior motives, nor the assassins who were getting closer and closer to him, but Yu Qianqian's extremely cruel words and the deadly actions she took to force him to back down.
Mu Beichen tentatively took a step forward, his sharp gaze falling on Zhi Yuqianqian. He barely suppressed the chaotic thoughts surging in his mind, and he spoke his words almost in a commanding tone.
"Ah Jin...stop fooling around, come with me!"
"I'll say it again, marrying the Regent was my own choice. Considering how good I've been to you in the past, I'm begging you, please let us go, okay?" Yu Qianqian's face was unusually calm, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes. She looked at Mu Beichen, giving him a cold look, and her voice was as sharp as a knife.
"Hmph! You guys?" Mu Beichen's face darkened, and he glanced at Mu Feiyu, then smiled coldly: "You mean you're going to abandon me and choose him, is that right?"
Before the words were finished, the sound of clattering hooves suddenly came from afar. Everyone turned around abruptly and saw a well-organized procession of people and horses marching through the street.
At a glance, Yu Qianqian recognized the young man leading the group as Prince Xuan, Mu Zixuan. She then slowly recalled that Mu Zixuan had been following Mu Feiyu for a long time.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mu Zixuan led countless men through the crowd, quickly surrounding the entire street. The guards who were originally going to kill Mu Beichen retreated to the side, completely losing their previous unstoppable momentum.
Seeing that all his carefully planned schemes were about to fall apart, Mu Feiyu felt a surge of anger and turned his rage towards Mu Zixuan, shouting angrily, "Mu Zixuan, how could you bring the army to such a grand occasion? Don't you even know anything about etiquette?"
Mu Zixuan raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing the situation between Mu Beichen and Yu Qianqian. He quickly changed his mind and smiled slightly: "Uncle, don't be anxious. I did this because I was following the Emperor's decree to bring my second brother back to the palace to report." As he spoke, Mu Zixuan quickly walked around to Mu Beichen's side and desperately winked at him.
Mu Beichen, however, did not take Mu Zixuan seriously at all. His eyes were filled with turbulent emotions as he stared intently at Yu Qianqian, remaining silent for a long, long time. It seemed that no matter how long she did not reply, he could patiently wait like this.
However, Yu Qianqian did not change her mind because of this reversal of the situation. She remained calm and composed until she felt her body go numb. Suddenly, she let go and threw the dagger to the ground.
Seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Mu Beichen's face. He couldn't wait to take a few steps closer, but before his right hand could land on her shoulder, he was suddenly flung away by a strong force.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was the scorching midday sun. The dazzling sunlight made everything in the world look splendid. Before we knew it, the crowds who had gathered to watch the excitement dispersed, while many soldiers remained on duty by the street.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with weariness. Only Mu Beichen and Yu Qianqian stood there, stunned. They looked up at each other with different expressions, and the two sides remained deadlocked for a long time.
