“No need.” Fu Yunchen looked at her. “If you come into the city with me, the people from the Imperial Clan should have already noticed you.”
"..." Mu Run looked up. "And then?"
"I will make contact with you."
"Wait, you carried me into the city?" That must have been extremely eye-catching. Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, a man carrying a woman in broad daylight would attract a lot of attention.
"So they must have seen you."
"...You did that on purpose!"
"Oh."
What are you going to do?
"Tell the people of Huang Cheng Si that you are mine now." It sounded like a joke, yet also serious.
"Then I'm doomed!" Mu Run's expression changed drastically. She still had the Heart-Eating Gu, and her life was in someone else's hands.
"You've ruined me."
"With me here, you won't die."
“Your blood will only last five days. On the fifth day, my Heart-Eating Gu will take effect.” Mu Run sighed. “What should I do? Maybe I should sell you.”
"How much does it cost?" Fu Yunchen asked curiously.
Mu Run said, "Tell them that I'm only doing this to gain your trust, so I can get more valuable information. Why don't you tell me one, even a fake one will do."
"You'll submit to me? Have you?"
"It's fake."
“I don’t really want to do this fake thing. Besides, you could get into trouble.”
"There won't be any trouble. The people from the Imperial Cultivation Bureau will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Maybe what I'm doing is just what they want." Hua Ling is just too stubborn. She doesn't know how to play along or be flexible. Her straightforward nature has driven her into a dead end.
Fu Yunchen picked up a piece of braised beef brisket with his chopsticks and placed it in Mu Run's bowl. "Are you sure you want to be mine?"
Mu Run picked up her chopsticks and nodded without hesitation, "I might be playing with fire, but if I don't play with it, it will burn me to death. I don't want to die, I've never even thought about it."
Fu Yunchen's pupils suddenly trembled.
"I want to live well, to live according to my own ideas. But life is full of disappointments, and it's hard to get even a little bit of what I want." Mu Run ate the braised beef brisket. It lacked aroma and was overcooked, making the meat too soft and mushy, lacking the chewy texture of beef brisket.
Mu Run raised her beautiful face and gave Fu Yunchen a bright smile. "So, sir, give me some information so I can fool them."
Fu Yunchen said, "If they ask you, just say that Prince Zhou and I have been corresponding."
"What about the letters?"
"That way you can come back alive and seize the opportunity to steal the letters and information."
"Your Excellency is truly wise. Another bowl of bird's nest soup, please."
"Heh~ Don't you have hands?"
"The soup bowl is closer to the adults."
Fu Yunchen took the soup bowl and filled it for her. "How about becoming my woman?"
Mu Run shook her head. "No."
Fu Yunchen said, "But now that I've brought you back, your reputation is ruined."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not getting married. Besides, I have no family. My reputation, good or bad, only affects me, it has nothing to do with others." Hua Ling's family was all wiped out in a natural disaster. That was the last straw that broke Hua Ling's back.
“Princess Xiao’an was once pregnant. It was discovered by the imperial physician when he took her pulse in the second month after Princess Xiaoyu’s death,” Fu Yunchen suddenly said.
Mu Run's heart suddenly tightened.
Fu Yunchen said, "The day after that child was discovered, Princess Xiao'an beat him. I didn't even get to see his body before he was burned to ashes and scattered in the moat."
