"Don't be so hypocritical. You can't heal your injury by yourself now. Don't you want to be my brother-in-law? We will be a family from now on. Just treat me as your real sister. It's not hypocritical for a sister to feed her brother some porridge."
Dear sister...
These three words in his ears continued to hit Dongfang Mu's heart.
He never dreamed that one day he and Chaoge, with whom he had a fight as soon as they met, would become siblings.
only......
"Well, I, Dongfang Mu, am lucky enough to have a sister like you in my life, and I survived death twice.
But, how is my royal grandfather?"
Dongfang Mu took great courage to ask the last question.
He didn't know why his royal grandfather was not in the palace after such a long time. Moreover, there was no palace servants left in this bedroom. He was afraid that his royal grandfather was no longer in this world.
"Don't worry. I saved your royal grandfather a few days before I rescued you. If nothing unexpected happens, he should lead the army back to the capital in a few days."
Chaoge downplayed it again, and when Dongfang Mu heard this, he grinned excitedly and couldn't help wanting to laugh.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized how painful the new burn from the branding iron was.
When he thought of his disfigured face and the wounds all over his body, the joy on his face couldn't help but dim a little.
"What's wrong? Is it related to the wound?"
Seeing his sudden painful expression, Chaoge frowned slightly and asked worriedly.
"The pain isn't a big deal, but I'm probably unrecognizable now."
Thinking of Chaoge's words that they would be a family in the future and that he would be his brother-in-law, Dongfang Mu felt suffocated in his heart.
With such a character like this, wouldn’t Yun Chaoyu be scared to death?
How can he marry the woman he loves in this state?
Hearing Dongfang Mu's tone, which was full of loneliness, Chaoge couldn't help but smile gently, with a hint of sarcasm on the corners of his mouth.
"Thinking back to when we were in Yunjia Village, you said I was ugly. Haha, it's really karma. No one can escape from the fate. I let you laugh at me, now it's your turn!"
Dongfang Mu was almost moved to tears by Chaoge, but suddenly he was hit hard by Chaoge, leaving him speechless.
"You were so fierce at that time, you only cared about money, and you even threw me into the cave. I was so upset and angry. But you know what, what's the mask on your face? It looks quite real."
"A human skin mask. Haha, if you want, I can make you another person's face to cover up the scars on your face."
Dongfang Mu was so disgusted after hearing Chaoge's words that he shook his head repeatedly!
"I was wondering why the scar on your face suddenly healed. It seems that you also had that disgusting thing stuck on your face before. Don't you feel creepy when you stick a dead person's skin on your face?"
"Don't you think so? Do you want it? If you do, I'll get you the skin of the Southern King to make it for you. Although Queen Rong has taken good care of herself, she still has the skin of a fifty-year-old. It's really a compliment to her to accompany you at the age of nineteen."
Chaoge said this deliberately, and at the end, he shook his head seriously.
Seeing that she was serious, Dongfang Mu was so scared that he felt disgusted!
Even at this moment, hatred surged in Dongfang Mu's eyes again, and a feeling of nausea and vomiting came from his throat.
He was so hungry that he had just taken a few mouthfuls of the vegetable and rice porridge, which he thought was so delicious that he couldn't eat any more just by looking at it.
"Can you please stop saying such disgusting things? I would rather...
But, if I am like this, I will definitely scare that girl Chaoyu, and I may not be able to marry her in this life.
Never mind, she doesn't like me anyway, and Nangong Yao is determined to get her. If she marries Nangong Yao, she will be the queen of Zhannan Kingdom in the future, and she won't go against her father's wishes."
Seeing Dongfang Mu giving up on Yun Chaoyu so easily, Chaoge no longer had the mood to continue joking with him.
She silently fed Dongfang Mu a bowl of porridge. She was a little skeptical about Yun Chaoyu's feelings for Dongfang Mu.
Normal people probably can’t accept this, right?
But the matter of love is between Yun Chaoyu and Dongfang Mu, and it is not her turn to be tested.
Putting down the bowl, Chaoge looked seriously at Dongfang Mu who was immersed in his own sad emotional world, but he couldn't bear it after all.
"Then why do you think I rushed over thousands of miles to save you?
Sometimes I think you are smart, but I just called you my brother-in-law, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and get lost in your own world."
Dongfang Mu, who was feeling sad, slowly raised his eyes. The loneliness in his eyes had long disappeared, replaced by a hidden joy.
But just as that hint of joy crept up to the corners of his eyes, he suddenly forced it down.
"I never thought that the little girl actually liked me. But how dare I appear in front of her in my current state?"
Looking at Dongfang Mu like this, Chaoge really wanted to hit him on the forehead with a melon seed!
But who would have thought that at this moment, outside the quiet palace, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, which immediately made Chaoge's face change, and he stood up vigilantly.
According to the time calculation, it is impossible for Dongfang Yexuan to return to the capital so soon. Chaoge was shocked and immediately made a gesture to Dongfang Mu to keep quiet.
Dongfang Muben also has internal strength, and with such a loud noise outside, how could he not hear it?
Dongfang Mu, whose expression also changed drastically, looked out the window outside the bedroom vigilantly. Unfortunately, he was lying on the bed. Because of the injury to his collarbone, he was unable to use his arms to support himself on the dragon couch and sit up.
He wanted to try to use his waist to exert force, but as soon as he moved, the injuries on his body were pulled further, and his face was distorted with pain again.
"Who told you to move? Some of the injuries are fresh. If you don't want them to heal, just move."
After saying that, Chaoge turned around and walked out of the bedroom without using any wood skills to check. Anyway, he had to face what he had to face, and the worst that could happen was another massacre.
But when she came out, she was stunned by the men in black armor outside.
"Moqi!"
Mo Qi led the Mohist army and successfully entered the Dongxiang Palace. However, the corpses everywhere in the palace had already made him feel cold in his heart.
Seeing all those corpses in the huge Dongxiang Palace, he thought it had become a dead city.
Inside the tightly closed palace gates, there was no sign of any eunuchs or palace maids, let alone the imperial guards who were protecting the palace.
What Mo Qi didn't know was that Chaoge closed the palace gate himself.
However, when Mo Qi looked at the woman standing at the door of the bedroom, he was about to ask about the situation in the Dongxiang Palace, but a familiar voice suddenly startled Mo Qi's hand holding the sword and trembled slightly.
