Chapter 92 is so intimate, it must be a lie!

Several servants looked at each other, some of them unsure whether to go forward and capture Xu Yanyi.

Xu Yanyi sighed and met Mu Nanzhou's disgusted gaze: "Prince, as the saying goes, a husband and wife for a day are bound by a hundred days of grace. After all, we have been nominally husband and wife for such a long time. Why are you so nervous when I touch your face?"

Mu Nanzhou gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want you to touch me! Someone, come here! What are you doing standing there!"

"Let me see who dares!"

Xu Yanyi glanced around coldly, and a cold and fierce aura emanated from his body, frightening the servants so much that they dared not move.

Mu Nanzhou narrowed his eyes. This damn woman suddenly acted so intimate, there must be something fishy going on!

What's more, he took the money he gave him and wanted to leave. How shameless!

After taking a deep breath, Mu Nanzhou said in a cold voice: "Keep an eye on the princess! If she takes even a single step out of here before the Ninth Princess is completely out of danger, I will lock her up!"

After saying that, Mu Nanzhou glared at Xu Yanyi fiercely and strode away angrily.

He had been busy in the military camp for so many days and had just returned to Nanling Palace. He was preparing to pack up and go to the Jade Buddha Temple to see Li Qiuer. She hadn't seen him for so many days, and he didn't know if she was afraid or sad.

Mu Nanzhou rode his horse at full speed to the Jade Buddha Temple. When he arrived at the gate of the temple, he saw the maid beside Li Qiuer crying there. He frowned and dismounted.

The maid Lianhua was startled and bowed quickly.

Mu Nanzhou glanced at her and said, "Why are you crying here when you are not here to serve Qiu'er?"

Lotus gritted her teeth, lowered her eyes, and seemed to hesitate for a moment before she spoke weakly: "My cousin found a prescription in some ancient book, saying that it is to use blood from the heart as a medicine to make medicine. When the time comes, give it to the prince, and the prince's old illness will be completely cured. I have been persuading my cousin for a long time, but she didn't agree and even drove me out. Prince, you came at the right time, hurry up and persuade my cousin!"

Cutting out the blood from your heart?

Mu Nanzhou's heart skipped a beat and he ran in without saying a word. He kicked the door open and saw Li Qiuer gesturing at her chest with a knife, as if she was going to cut someone from a certain direction.

"Qiu'er!" Mu Nanzhou snatched the knife from Li Qiu'er's hand and grabbed the coat beside him with his other hand to put it on her. "Are you crazy?"

"Cousin, why...why are you here?"

Li Qiuer looked like she was about to cry: "I, I thought you didn't want me anymore, but I still loved you. I was thinking, maybe you thought I was useless and a burden to you. I have a bad background and a bad reputation, but now I'm still by your side. It's understandable that you don't want me. If I can do something for you, will you change your mind?"

"What are you talking about! I was in a hurry to go back to deal with something that happened in the army these days. How could I not want you?" Mu Nanzhou sighed and reached out to wipe the tears from her face. "Besides, you are my only relative now. You just need to be well. Why do you think so much?"

"Cousin, I know I can't help you with anything else, but I saw a prescription in an ancient book. Three years ago, you were seriously injured while fighting against the rebels. After you recovered, your old injuries often recurred and you had to take medicine from time to time. The prescription said that using heart blood as a medicine inducer can cure you! Let me try it..."

As she spoke, Li Qiuer struggled to grab the knife again, "Cousin, don't hold me back, let me try..."

"Alright!" Mu Nanzhou held her shoulders and said word by word, "This king will not abandon you. This kind of messed up prescription is impossible to use. Don't waste your time!"

After saying this, Mu Nanzhou turned his head sharply and looked at the maid Lianhua, and said in a cold voice: "I let Qiu'er stay in the Buddhist temple because I don't want her to add troubles to the palace or the city. I let her practice in seclusion here. Where did this ancient book come from?"

Lianhua was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt down hastily: "To answer your question, my cousin said that she had nothing to do in the temple and wanted to read a book. I went outside to collect some books. I can't read, so I don't know what kind of books they are. I thought they were just some ordinary story books. It's all my fault..."

Mu Nanzhou's face darkened, and he was a little puzzled: "There are few people around the Jade Buddha Temple. There used to be a dental clinic, but it's gone now. Where did you collect the books?"

Lotus hesitated and dared not speak.

Mu Nanzhou felt something was wrong and said coldly: "I have a question for you!"

Boom.

Lianhua kowtowed quickly and said hurriedly: "My Lord, I found it in the pawnshop in the backyard. There were many thrown on the ground, so I picked up some. I also saw the princess's earrings, so the princess must have been there.

Those books might have been deliberately dug out and left there by the princess. She knew that my cousin would feel bored living here. When she was bored, she would ask me to find books for her to read. This is no secret in the palace.

So the princess left those books there. If I find them there, I will take them back. My cousin has always remembered your old illness. How could she not be tempted when she saw the prescription?"

"Lotus! What nonsense are you talking about! The pawnshop has been closed down, how can you say that the scattered items were deliberately placed there by the princess? Stop talking!"

Li Qiuer spoke up immediately, appearing to be very righteous.

Lianhua cried to Mu Nanzhou: "My Lord, I...I will risk my life to speak for my cousin today! My cousin is a kind person, but kind people are always bullied.

In the palace, the princess dared to poison her, and in the dungeon, the princess bit her with those poisons. It was a pity that my cousin was so lucky that she could not die! The princess dared to be so reckless, and she did not admit it and bit my cousin back.

Isn't it because my cousin is now nameless and without status! My Lord, if my cousin continues to live in the palace without a name and without status, I'd be better off leaving the house and becoming a nun!"

Bang!

Li Qiuer raised her hand and slapped Lianhua on the face. She stomped her feet in anger and said, "Are you trying to put me in an unfair position by talking nonsense again? What did I teach you on weekdays? How can you say such things? Get out of here right now!"

Mu Nanzhou's heart tightened, and he looked at Li Qiuer. Now he only had Li Qiuer as his distant cousin, so he would naturally protect this only remaining family relationship. Besides, Li Qiuer had been with him through the most difficult days after the incident at the Mu family, and he was grateful to her.

It is not certain how much Mu Nanzhou loves Li Qiuer, but out of gratitude and because she is his cousin, Mu Nanzhou is still willing to protect her and give her a legitimate status.
