So what if it is?
With just a casual remark, Mu Xi declared that she no longer wanted to remain in the shadows.
The two stared at each other without saying a word, their breathing growing heavier and heavier, even the eunuchs and maids around them lowered their heads to the very bottom.
"Then the younger brother will have to make do a little. He can just reluctantly marry a woman as a decoration, okay?"
Mu Tuo's cunning smile was unsettling to look at.
Mu Xi's eyes remained calm, yet held a chilling intensity: "Mu Tuo, don't push your luck."
He didn't want to fight back then, so he completely ignored Mu Tuo's attempt to force him to abdicate.
"Heh... Mu Tuo, have you finally revealed your true colors?"
Mu Tuo had long known that Mu Xi was not as calm and peaceful as he appeared on the surface; he was still as wise as when he went into battle with his father.
"Little brother, my dear little brother, is your leg better?"
Mu Tuo smiled, his hand involuntarily reaching for Mu Xi's legs in her wheelchair, only to be caught in mid-air.
"Do not touch me"
Mu Xi spoke calmly, her grip on the phone tightening even more around Mu Tuo's hand, causing Mu Tuo to feel intense pain.
Releasing her hand, Mu Xi said indifferently, "Don't just send someone to me. Last time, the foreigner came out of respect for you, but I hope you won't go too far this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting someone from another family take this seat."
Her words, spoken with a calm and clear tone, as pure and crisp as a spring on a snow-capped mountain, truly sent a shiver down Ling Mutuo's spine.
The seriousness in Mu Xi's eyes made him feel inexplicably flustered.
When she came to her senses again, Muxi had already pushed the wheelchair out of the main hall.
That slender figure made Mu Tuo smile involuntarily: "...Interesting..."
Muqi is still the same as before, competitive, argumentative, and combative.
...
Dou Shiliu fainted at the gate of the Mu Mansion and was seen by Xiao Wu. He took her inside and had her clothes changed. To his surprise...
Dou Shiliu has a fever, the kind that makes her delirious.
When Muxi returned, he saw Xiao Wu carrying a bowl of bitter medicine.
I knew in my heart whose it was, but I still couldn't help but follow and take a look.
"I won't eat."
"eat"
"I won't eat."
"eat"
Xiao Wu stared coldly at Dou Shiliu, who was wrapped in a blanket, looking at him with a bewildered expression.
She was surprisingly cute like this; unlike her usual lively self, she was unusually quiet today.
"Drink it," Xiao Wu handed the bitter medicine to Dou Shiliu, looking at her without taking any further action, as if she didn't care whether she ate it or not.
"It's bitter and smells awful, don't drink it," Dou Shiliu shook his little head like a rattle drum.
Xiao Wu remained silent for a few seconds, then decisively placed the medicine on the cabinet to the side, turned around and left, never to care about the woman's life or death again.
Xiao Wu, seeing Mu Xi outside who hadn't gone in, was slightly taken aback and asked, "Master?"
Mu Xi nodded, and after Xiao Wu came out, she pushed her wheelchair inside herself, ignoring Xiao Wu completely.
Xiao Wu quietly faded away.
Did Dou Shiliu sense someone approaching? He glanced at them groggily and vaguely recognized them as some kind of big bad guy.
"You...you big bad guy..."
Mu Xi's eyes fell on the muttering Dou Shiliu, then looked at the medicine on the cabinet, picked it up, and said, "Eat."
The pungent smell of herbs filled the air again, and Dou Shiliu frowned, pouting her red lips: "I'm not drinking it."
Muqi: "Why don't you drink?"
Dou Shiliu: "Because it's very bitter."
Dou Shiliu lowered her eyes. "I've suffered so much, so now I want something sweet."
Mu Xi's eyes flickered slightly. "The medicine will taste sweet if you drink it first."
Dou Shiliu looked at the medicine bowl in a daze, shook his head firmly, and refused to drink it even if he were beaten to death.
“I won’t drink it, unless…” Dou Shiliu’s eyes fell on Mu Xi, the girl carrying a fresh fragrance.
"Unless you buy me candied hawthorns."
Mu Xi nodded calmly. Just when he thought he could get the woman to take her medicine obediently, the little woman suddenly started crying.
Muxi: "..."
I stared blankly as she cried.
"I remember... Waaah, I remember I bought candied hawthorns too... Waaah," Dou Shiliu's eyes reddened, "but the person didn't want them... Waaah, I'm so sad..."
Mu Xi suddenly remembered that the woman had indeed given him a string of candied hawthorns on the bridge last time, but he hadn't taken them.
"I saw him staring at the candied hawthorn for a long time before I bought it for him, but he still didn't want it?"
"Waaaaah"
I'm so heartbroken.
Looking at Dou Shiliu, who was crying and fussing like a child, Mu Xi couldn't help but smile slightly.
He has actually already accepted it.
Dou Shiliu blinked. "Really?"
Muxi: "Hmm"
His heart had long since accepted her candied hawthorn.
Dou Shiliu stopped crying, her eyes still blurry. "Alright then, I'm going to sleep. You can leave now."
Mu Xi glanced at her calmly, "Take your medicine."
Dou Shiliu: "I won't eat."
Mu Xi was surprisingly close to her, and Dou Shiliu suddenly found it hard to breathe, her eyes widening: "You're Mu Xi?"
Mu Xi was silent for a moment, then said, "Hmm."
"You're going to marry the princess..." Dou Shiliu's mouth twitched, completely unable to control himself, and tears started falling.
Mu Xi rarely saw her cry, and he almost never knew that a bodyguard could cry like this.
"Can I not marry you?" Her hazy eyes gazed at Mu Xi in front of her, filled with an irresistible cuteness.
"good"
Dou Shiliu cheered to herself, then suddenly cried out in pain; she had a bit of a headache.
"Headache"
Muxi handed over the bowl of medicine: "Drink this and the pain will go away."
The medicine bowl was pitch black, but the hand holding it was a feast for the eyes, making the medicine seem less awful.
"You feed me," Dou Shiliu nodded seriously. "Yes, that's right, you have to feed me, otherwise I won't drink."
The white ball covered its face. Was its feverish host really that shameless?
Mu Xi pondered for a moment, looked at Dou Shiliu who had lost all sense of direction, and nodded.
Her slender, knotted fingers held a wooden spoon and fed Dou Shiliu in front of her, as if the medicine itself had become utterly tasteless.
One bite, two bites, three bites
Mu Xi's brows relaxed as he watched Dou Shiliu obediently finish his drink. A smile played on his lips, as beautiful as the warm sunshine of March.
Dou Shiliu's taste buds were filled with bitterness, and he was slightly taken aback when he saw Mu Xi's smile.
Mu Xi suddenly felt a slight bitterness on his lips, which traveled to the tip of his tongue and filled his taste buds, causing his brows to furrow.
Dou Shiliu dazedly withdrew the kiss, then lay down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Xi, who had been kissed, couldn't help but touch her thin lips, her brows still slightly furrowed.
This medicine is so bitter it makes your mouth feel dry.
