Chapter 155: Arresting People at Midnight
Mu Xingci looked at the woman who was full of hatred towards him, and his eyes dimmed slightly.
"I'm sorry! I know you won't forgive me easily after hearing about this, but I still told you because I don't want you to feel sad and guilty about your enemies anymore. I just want you to suffer less pain. Even if you don't forgive me, I won't lie to you again."
"Do you think I will be grateful to you if you say that? You're dreaming! Get out of here!" Yun Wansheng cursed and tried to push him away.
Mu Xingci, however, held the woman's two small hands in return: "Wan Sheng, if you are not satisfied, you can hit me as much as you want. Anyway, I will not leave this time."
"You are not related to me, why should I hit you, Mu Xingci, Regent! Please continue to ignore me with your noble status. I can't stand your favoritism." Yun Wansheng said sarcastically.
"How dare I put on airs in front of you, Wansheng? Some things require experience to realize how precious they are. I will never push you away from me again. If you have any dissatisfaction or resentment, just vent it to me. I will never complain against you." Mu Xingci's eyes were full of seriousness.
"You say it so nicely, as if I'm the only one you can have. Mu Xingci, this kind of love you have is not the kind of love between men and women that you think you are. You are being paranoid.
If you really loved me, you wouldn't hurt me so much. Please stop trying to seduce me with this self-proclaimed affection. It just makes me sick." Yun Wansheng said harshly.
"Disgusting?" Mu Xingci's face darkened.
"Yes!" Yun Wansheng sneered at his unhappy expression. See? He had just said something unpleasant and his face darkened. She knew this man's words were untrustworthy.
Mu Xingci's deep eyes were gentle, and his palm gently pinched the woman's small hand: "It's disgusting, Wansheng, once you come in, I will make you feel disgusted every day." As he said, he held up her small hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"Who entered your house? Let me go!" Yun Wansheng glared at the ruffian man and struggled with her hands.
"Since you entered my family, I will only marry you in this life. If you don't agree to marry me, I will have to live alone for the rest of my life." Mu Xingci said with a smile.
Yun Wansheng realized that no matter how many times she rejected him, this man would not listen, so she stopped talking nonsense.
"I'm sleepy, let me go first."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci stood up and sat beside her, his hands naturally hooked around the woman's waist: "Lean on me and sleep more comfortably." As he said that, he held her in his arms regardless of her struggles, and then covered her with his wide cloak.
"Let me go!" Yun Wansheng continued to struggle angrily.
"No, if you move again I'll think you're seducing me." Mu Xingci said with a smile on his face, pulling the person closer to him.
Yun Wansheng was so frightened by his shameless behavior that she dared not move. She knew very well what kind of person this bastard was. If she really angered him, he would go crazy and would not care whether she wanted to or not.
"Go to sleep!" Mu Xingci's slender fingers brushed the woman's hair in front of her forehead, his tone gentle.
Yun Wansheng slapped his hand away, then closed her eyes and snuggled into his arms without looking at him.
Mu Xingci lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms. The love in his eyes could not be concealed. No matter how this woman resisted him, he would never let go.
The carriage sped up at dawn, hoping to reach Jinxi City as quickly as possible. They even ate and drank water in the carriage, and only stopped when they had to go to the bathroom urgently. Otherwise, they would travel non-stop all the way.
The rush lasted until evening. Yun Wansheng was dozing off in a corner of the carriage when she suddenly heard a man's groan of pain, which made her open her eyes.
She saw the man next to her with a red face and cold sweat. When she saw this, she knew that the poison had taken effect again.
When Mu Xingci saw that she had woken up, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he still said softly: "Wan Sheng, while I can still move, can you let me hug you?"
Yun Wansheng knew that he said this just to save their respective faces and prevent them from being too embarrassed.
The current situation made it impossible for her to refuse, so she could only close her eyes and acquiesce to his words. It was better for him to come than for her to take the initiative.
Seeing that she agreed, Mu Xingci couldn't help but smile. He then leaned over and pulled her into his arms. His thin lips gently kissed the woman's neck. After a moment, he took off her clothes.
This time, with the man's teasing and flirting, Yun Wansheng felt much more comfortable. The man wanted her more and more crazy, sending the woman to the clouds again and again. But when he was about to reach the clouds, he had to pull back, for fear of hurting the woman he loved.
That night, the two of them slept in each other's arms, not thinking about the future for the time being.
A carriage would certainly not be as fast as a horse running one way, not to mention that it was an express journey of 800 miles. The anxious attitude was that they absolutely could not let anything happen to the regent who had made great military achievements.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Fei led two secret guards to the Grand Council and called Shangguan Lan out of bed.
When Shangguan Lan heard that the Regent had come here suddenly, before he could even feel the surprise, he heard that he had been poisoned, which frightened him.
But what surprised him even more was that his mortal enemy Jin Pingting was also dead. He didn't know why the old woman wanted to harm the Regent. When he heard the task Xiao Fei assigned to him, he immediately took people to the inn to capture people.
Ever since Jin Pingting and her daughter came here, he had people watching their every move in secret.
As soon as he entered the inn, Shangguan Lan kicked open Yan Baozhu's door without caring about the distinction between men and women. Before the master and servant could react, soldiers had already put three big knives on their necks.
"Yan Ling? What are you doing?" Ah Man was about to resist when a blood mark appeared on her neck, and the blood instantly dyed her inner clothes red.
"First, confiscate all the belongings of the master and servant. Don't let them take back anything that belongs to them. The Yan people are the best at using poison, so everyone should be careful." Shangguan Lan ordered with a slight smile on his lips.
"Yan Ling, what...what do you want to do?" Ah Man looked at Yan Baozhu on the other bed, fearing that this man would hurt her young master.
Shangguan Lan looked at the young woman and asked, "You are the concubine's daughter, right?"
The girl had messy hair and untidy clothes, but her face was half covered by a patterned mask. Looking at the woman who was pretending to be mysterious, Shangguan Lan's disgust was obvious.
"She wears a mask even when she's sleeping. How rare! Someone, take her mask off for me."
Upon hearing this, Yan Baozhu hurriedly pressed down the mask with her hands: "Yan Ling, this mask cannot be taken off. I... I am too ugly to show it to others. If you dare to forcibly take it off, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide immediately. Then my father will never let you go."
"Do you think I'm afraid of your father?"
Shangguan Lan sneered, but did not mention the mask again. The Regent was in danger, and there must not be any accidents on his side. It was just a mask. Anyway, he didn't care whether she was beautiful or ugly, so he would not take it off.
"Brother!" Seeing that he was no longer insisting, Yan Baozhu cleverly called out to him, trying to get close to him.
"Who is your elder brother? If you keep calling people nonsense, I will pull out your tongue." Shangguan Lan said angrily.
Although this so-called sister was only eighteen years old, she had already learned from her mother and was very good at making poison. Therefore, when he arrived, he confiscated all their belongings so that they could not harm others.
