Mu Tiantian was surprised to see Jing Jue with a full beard.
"How...how did you get here?" This is a secret underground chamber.
"Of course I'm here to save you." Jing Jue told her that she had become a wanted criminal.
Yesterday, the Emperor ordered a city-wide manhunt for the wanted criminal Mu Tiantian, and even the Jing family and the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion were turned upside down.
Jingjue also remembered why Mu Mu looked familiar; wasn't she Mu Tiantian, the wanted poster that had been posted on the notice board for two years?
After the Emperor left the Jing family, he secretly followed the large group of people to this villa, where he met the Imperial Preceptor Yin Jiahan.
I remember that it was Inga Han who posted this wanted notice.
So he was cautious and, after the emperor left, he didn't leave but instead hid on the roof.
He left only after Yin Jiahan entered the secret room, and he was very worried about Mu Tiantian.
Today, taking advantage of Yin Jiahan's absence at court, he disguised himself and came here, intending to take Mu Tiantian away.
"You said the rooms in this mansion were all poisoned with Gu, so how come you're alright?" Mu Tiantian asked, seeing Jing Jue standing perfectly fine in front of her.
“I once secretly learned Gu poison. The Gu poison he used in this mansion wasn’t very strong, so I was able to get in,” Jing Jue told Mu Tiantian without reservation.
Secretly learning Gu poison is a capital offense if discovered.
"Come with me now," Jing Jue said, reaching for her wrist to lead her away.
Mu Tiantian took a step back, causing him to miss his grab, and smiled, "I appreciate the young marquis's kindness, but I'm doing fine here."
Jing Jue glanced at the dark and gloomy underground chamber and raised his voice, "Is locking you up in this dungeon a good thing?"
"This isn't a dungeon, this is my boudoir," Mu Tiantian said nonchalantly. "Young Marquis, I'm perfectly fine here."
Jing Jue glanced at Mu Tiantian a few more times, looking her up and down. "You must have been controlled by him with a curse. Who would think this dungeon is a good place?"
Mu Tiantian: "......" Why can't this person listen to reason?
Jing Jue became increasingly convinced that Mu Tiantian was being controlled by Yin Jiahan's Gu worms, so he continued to persuade her, determined to take Mu Tiantian away.
At this time, Yin Jiahan had finished his court session and was walking towards his residence.
On his way back along the forest path, he was ambushed.
A throwing knife flew towards him quickly, but he easily dodged it.
The throwing knife embedded itself in the tree behind him.
The next moment, several men in black, wielding long swords, lunged at him.
Yin Jiahan smiled slightly, dodged to the side, and struck the black-clad man's chest with a palm.
The man in black felt as if thousands of ants were crawling on his skin, causing an unbearable itch.
All the other men in black were infected without exception.
Yin Jiahan walked up to one of the men in black, looked down at him, and still had a very faint smile on his lips.
It made the man in black feel extremely uneasy.
"Who sent you?" Yin Jiahan had barely finished speaking when the man in black bit into a poisonous substance and committed suicide.
Immediately afterwards, all the men in black died; they had poison hidden in their mouths.
He must commit suicide immediately if the mission fails.
Yin Jiahan glanced at the dead men in black.
After a while, he picked up the long sword from the ground and quickly slashed it into his own chest.
Yin Jiahan felt a sharp pain and frowned slightly. He looked down at the wound on his chest, where blood was flowing freely and staining his robes red.
But he seemed unsatisfied and slashed his chest with the sword again.
The gruesome sword wound was so deep that the skin was torn open and the blood flowed even more profusely, turning the ice-blue robe into a blood-red robe.
Yin Jiahan was finally satisfied. He forced a weak smile and continued walking towards the mansion.
When he arrived at the mechanism next to the main room's storage shelf, he noticed signs that someone had been there, and turned the mechanism with a cold look in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Jing Jue was still in the secret room trying to persuade Mu Tiantian, his lips almost worn out from talking so much.
"I told you I wasn't bewitched, I wasn't under his control, why can't you understand? I told you he's the one I'm going to marry, why don't you believe me?" Mu Tiantian was exhausted from explaining.
Jing Jue stopped talking, stood up and said, "In that case, I have no choice but to leave."
Mu Tiantian was overjoyed. Heavens above, he had finally given up!
In reality, Jing Jue was just thinking about going back to think of a way to remove the curse from Mu Tiantian. He still felt that she was being controlled by Yin Jiahan, which was why she said that.
Jingjue walked to the stone gate and noticed a circular mechanism on the wall next to it. He twisted it forcefully...
Nothing happened...
Mu Tiantian blinked. "Did you close the door when you came in?"
"No." Jing Jue walked in as soon as the door opened, without closing it.
This door closes automatically.
He twisted the mechanism again, but it didn't work.
Is this just for show?
Mu Tiantian remembered that there should be a master switch outside the stone gate, controlled by Yin Jiahan.
Unless the main switch is turned on, the mechanisms inside are completely useless.
Just then, Jingjue suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the stone gate.
Without a doubt, it must be Yin Jiahan who has returned.
He didn't want to meet Yin Jiahan and needed to find a place to hide quickly.
Seeing his flustered appearance, Mu Tiantian asked in confusion, "What are you trying to do?"
Jingjue made a shushing gesture, then noticed a hiding place under the bed and crawled in without thinking.
Just as Mu Tiantian was wondering if he had taken the wrong medicine, the sound of a mechanism turning came from outside the stone door, and the stone door opened.
Yin Jiahan was severely injured, bleeding profusely, and so weak that even his naturally pale red lips had lost their color.
Yin Jiahan stood in front of Mu Tiantian, his figure dazed, as if he would fall over with the slightest breeze.
"Xiao Han!" Mu Tiantian quickly helped him up, her face full of worry, and asked anxiously, "How could this have happened?"
She helped him toward the bed, wanting him to lie down, but he walked toward the table instead, saying, "Sister, just help me sit in the chair."
"No, you're so badly injured, you need to lie down in bed." Mu Tiantian was extremely anxious; he couldn't possibly sit still in his current state.
Seeing how worried she was about him, Yin Jiahan was overjoyed and said weakly, "Sister, help me to sit down on a chair. There is some wound medicine in the cabinet next to the table."
Seeing that he insisted, Mu Tiantian stopped arguing with him, afraid of aggravating his wound.
She carefully helped him sit down, then went to get the wound medicine.
Jing Jue, who was under the bed, could see Yin Jiahan, who was seriously injured. His lips were white and his robe was stained with blood. Who could have injured him like this?
Mu Tiantian ripped open his shirt, revealing his torn and bleeding chest.
She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood around his wound, then applied medicine to it.
Yin Jiahan noticed the person under the bed and whispered to Mu Tiantian, "Sister, can you give me a kiss?"
"What are you kissing for? Apply the medicine first." At a time like this, you're still thinking about that kind of thing.
"Sister, kiss me."
Yin Jiahan gave orders to the Gu worms inside her body.
