Chapter 96: When did we think of leaving?
The two of them went together to attend Mo Fei's coronation ceremony.
It's undeniable that the young general, who rose to fame at a young age, possessed exceptional skill in both military strategy and government. She quickly suppressed the civil unrest and became empress, while Liu Yu became regent. After all, in the early days of the nation, the Yuegan Clan was bound to have a seat at court.
In the Shangshu's room, Mu Xingchen was lying lazily on the dragon chair, peeling grapes slowly in his hands.
The eunuch standing by was so frightened by this scene that he broke out in a cold sweat, "Miss Mu...Miss Mu, this..." He glanced at Mo Fei, almost crying in despair.
Mo Fei nodded to the eunuch, indicating that it was okay. She sat directly below Mu Xingchen and asked with a smile, "Is this seat comfortable?"
Mu Xingchen nodded lazily: "That's all. It's just the way you are used to it."
The eunuch's face turned pale when he heard this. The person in front of him not only sat on the dragon throne, but also talked about the dragon throne. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead without saying a word.
Mo Fei smiled and said, "It can't be helped. I've made a mess here. If I don't clean up the mess, my parents will blame me."
Mu Xingchen sat up. "Okay, then take your time cleaning up." She suddenly turned serious and asked, "Hasn't the person been found yet?"
Mo Fei's smile faded a little. "Miss Fengxue probably doesn't want to be found. I had someone find the military doctor who last saw her in Xiao Su's camp, and he said she's pregnant."
Mu Xingchen paused slightly, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
Mo Fei's eyes darkened, and he sighed silently, "Perhaps she was afraid that I would be soft-hearted. She knew that Xiao Su died on the third day of my pregnancy."
They knew better than anyone that if Xiao Su didn't die, the war would have to last for years. He was Xiyao's second war god general besides her, and after his death, Xiyao would have no generals to rely on.
Mo Fei concealed the dark color in his eyes and said, "Thanks to Miss Fengxue, the Hongguang was able to break through so quickly."
Mu Xingchen's heart was beating fast, and her brows were furrowed so tightly that she could pinch a fly to death.
"Don't worry, Zui Weng Lou is also looking for someone now. I believe there will be news soon."
Mu Xingchen nodded and slowly sat back down, but the wrinkles on her brow showed that she was no longer as happy as before.
"By the way, how are you and him? Do you still want to leave?" Mo Fei suddenly asked.
Mu Xingchen came back to her senses and shook her head.
These days she has been dreaming about Li Jing's death in her previous life. He died over and over again in front of her eyes, so she was panicked every time she woke up.
Fortunately, they spent this month together every day, and this feeling of panic gradually subsided.
A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she smiled slowly: "It's destined. What else can I do if I fall for you at first sight?"
In fact, from the first moment she saw Li Jing, she broke all her principles and boundaries.
She would not save a stranger without hesitation, but now everything has an answer.
Mo Fei pursed her lips and smiled, "I wish you happiness." As she spoke, she didn't know what she remembered, and her eyes darkened.
Mu Xingchen looked at her expression and sighed calmly. The young general and the military advisor had once had a passionate love affair, but it was cut short by Li Yan.
Li Yan is now imprisoned in a dark cage. He can neither commit suicide nor live a good life. He is imprisoned in darkness forever.
He said that the possessiveness of imprisonment was love. If this was love, he would probably be willing to do it. However, it didn't last long before he could no longer bear it and shouted every day that he should be killed.
Mo Fei's eyes darkened. "Only when you truly love someone will you create a prison of your own. Otherwise, everything will be painful."
Mu Xingchen nodded in agreement. She stood up and said goodbye, "Goodbye. It may be difficult for us to meet again in the future."
Mo Fei nodded and said, "What I say will always work. If you need anything in the future, just write a letter. Whether it's Zui Weng Lou or the imperial court, I will do my best."
The two smiled at each other.
Outside, the snow was extremely strong, piling up three feet high. Mu Xingchen, holding an umbrella, met someone outside the palace.
Bai Xu knelt outside the palace from the time she entered until she left. For several hours, he was covered in wind and snow and was almost frozen into an icicle.
The moment Mu Xingchen came out, his eyes instantly brightened.
"Axing." He raised his head and said tremblingly.
Mu Xingchen stopped and looked down at Bai Xu and said calmly, "Why bother again?"
Bai Xu shook his head, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
"Axing, why is it him? We grew up together and have been together for a long time. We almost only have each other. How long have you known each other? Why is it him?"
He was puzzled. He really was puzzled. How could someone like Mu Xingchen fall in love with someone else even if she didn't love him?
Mu Xingchen paused holding the umbrella handle, and she couldn't help laughing when she thought of Li Jing.
"It must be him, it must be him."
She had waited for a long time. Even though he said goodbye at the last moment before his death, he still took half of his demon soul to accompany her in reincarnation. He probably guessed that she would follow him.
Even though Li Jing had no memories in this life, he still gave her everything he could. They were both demon spirits, and he showed the same unconditional love. How could someone as smart as him not guess her calculations? From beginning to end, it was all just a web woven in her mind.
"He would never betray me even if he died, but you are different, Bai Xu. You want me to die."
Bai Xu's face suddenly turned pale. He shook his head: "No, no, I had no choice. Ah Xing, I didn't do that. I didn't mean it..."
Mu Xingchen walked past him without hesitation, and after a few steps she suddenly raised her umbrella.
Li Jing was waiting for her in front, dressed in black and holding an umbrella. He looked at her with a gentle and weary look, and a hint of indescribable emotion, like...
Mu Xingchen felt that his eyes seemed somewhat familiar. Her hand trembled and the umbrella slowly fell down.
"you……"
Li Jing walked up to her and held up an umbrella to shield her from the wind and snow.
Mu Xingchen's eyes were red as he said, "When did you remember it?"
Li Jing asked in a low voice, "At first sight."
Mu Xingchen's pupils widened, she moved her lips to speak but couldn't.
After a while, she felt a little funny, and her scarlet eyes filled with tears: "So you really did it on purpose."
No matter who can compare his acting skills, he is the best actor.
Li Jing hugged Mu Xingchen fiercely. He closed his eyes and said with lingering fear: "In Blackwater Bay, this is the last chance I give you. If you choose to escape, I will choose to let you go."
After saying that, he let her go, looked into her eyes and said seriously, "If you choose to come to me, I will choose to imprison you."
So that evil spirit eventually became an indelible mark in her body, and she would be branded for the rest of her life.
His voice was hoarse, "But you chose to come back to me."
He had made every possible preparation, fearing she wouldn't come, but luckily she did. Once she came, she really couldn't leave.
Mu Xingchen laughed so hard that her body trembled. "Who is better at seducing people than you? Ah, Li Jing, you are the king of the fishing system."
Li Jing rubbed Mu Xingchen's hair, and at this moment the last trace of fear in his heart completely disappeared.
"Let's go."
