Unhappily, he helped Mulansheng to the ground, then watched as his slender fingers grasped a wooden stick and began to rub it. He stared at his beautiful fingers with distinct joints and sighed, "If it were me, my hands would definitely hurt from the friction."
Mulansheng: "..."
It seems that he is just too thick-skinned.
After a while, the fire was lit.
Yun Miao quickly picked up some large firewood and added it in, then sat on the ground with a satisfied look on her face.
Mulansheng looked at her happy face and couldn't help wondering: "You seem very happy in such an inappropriate situation."
In the wilderness, a life of escape.
"You don't understand this kind of freedom." Yun Miao supported herself on the ground with her hands, looking up at the stars in the sky with her little face.
Whether it is the previous life or Miaoya’s memory, this kind of quiet and comfortable freedom and enjoying the tranquility of nature are worthy of the redemption and healing of the soul.
Free?
Mulansheng looked at the night in silence.
Born into the royal family, how dare I dream of freedom?
…
The other side of the capital.
Inside Prince Yuan’s Palace.
The young man in the black python robe had a handsome yet sinister face. His fingers teased the canary in the cage. He raised his eyebrows and sneered in the dark direction, saying in a low voice, "Is the person missing?"
"Yes... yes, Second Master." A nervous voice came from the corner.
"Hehe, you can't even deal with a cripple, what use is there for me to keep you?" Mu Linyuan pinched the neck of the canary in the cage with his long fingers. As soon as his fingertips exerted force, the bird in the cage struggled and cried frantically.
The person in the dark immediately knelt down in fear: "There are more than two of them, there is also a girl with them."
Mu Linyuan's smile became even more creepy. "You mean you didn't lose to Mu Lansheng, but to a woman? You mean, the presence of a woman defeated your shadow guards? And changed the entire situation?"
"Yes..." The shadow guard quickly changed his words, "No, that's not it. Ye Feng is the most powerful master in the palace, and he's also a first-rank guard appointed by the emperor. We really can't stop him. Plus, although Mu Lansheng has a disability, he has deep internal strength. We thought that as long as we can hold Ye Feng back, Mu Lansheng won't be able to escape no matter how powerful he is. But who knew they were accompanied by a woman, and this woman took advantage of the chaos and escaped with Mu Lansheng. Our subordinates didn't find anyone else with them during their previous tracking. This woman... is truly a surprise."
Mu Linyuan turned around and looked at the dark guards, his smile carrying a chilling chill. "Accident? Then tell me, how old is this woman? Does she know any martial arts?"
"Fifteen or sixteen years old, no... I don't know martial arts." The secret guard broke out in a cold sweat and his voice became more and more guilty.
Mu Linyuan sneered, "So the shadow guards I employ in my palace are no match for a powerless woman?"
It's ridiculous.
"I am useless and I should apologize." The secret guard knelt on the ground with a thud.
Mu Linyuan's eyes darkened with regret, but the next second, a sinister and cruel smile appeared on his lips. "However, your goal has been achieved. Mu Lansheng won't be able to reach the capital within ten days, and the Northern Border Marquis has already dispatched troops. Someone will take Mu Lansheng's head for me."
Who says a murder knife must see blood?
Even if he captured Mulansheng, his original intention was to trap him outside the capital.
When the knife from the North arrives, he will be clean.
It's strange that Mulansheng shouldn't have gone to investigate the northern border, giving him the opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
"Now I'll give you a chance to make amends. Find where Mu Lansheng appears and follow him secretly without taking any action. By the way, check if there is anything strange about that woman." Mu Linyuan turned his back.
The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief and immediately kowtowed and retreated: "I obey your command. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy."
A dark shadow passed by in the darkness, and the study room instantly returned to peace.
Mu Linyuan glanced at the motionless bird in the cage, raised his eyebrows, and a hint of amusement appeared on his lips: "Mu Lansheng, I didn't expect that you have never been close to women except Yue Ge for all these years. Now you dare to throw your life to a stranger?"
This made him curious about who that woman was.
early morning.
Yun Miao was awakened by the sun. When she opened her eyes, the fire beside her had gone out and Mulansheng was gone.
Yun Miao happily sat up quickly.
"What? You seem happy that I, a burden, ran away on my own?" The man's voice sounded from behind her.
I saw with my own eyes her shoulders, which had been raised with joy, droop down.
"Hehe, how could that be? Am I the kind of person who doesn't keep his promises?" Yun Miao turned around and looked at Mu Lansheng who was sitting in the shade under the tree behind with a smile.
"It's hard to say." Mulansheng showed a ruthless and mocking expression.
Yun Miao: “…”
But looking at Mu Lansheng hiding in the shade, and then looking at the place where she had just slept in the sun, Yun Miao was speechless, "If I get a heat stroke, you won't be able to climb out of this forest safely by yourself."
From that angle, wouldn't it be like he was looking at an idiot when he sat in the shade of the tree and looked at me sleeping in the sun?
"I saw you sleeping so soundly, not even noticing the scorching sun, how could I bear to disturb you." Mulansheng admitted. He stared at Yun Miao turning over twenty times under the scorching sun, and yet she was still able to sleep until noon. He was filled with admiration.
However, he was not actually disgusted by the woman's careless rudeness at this time.
Compared to the servants in the mansion who served her carefully but felt sorry for her, in her eyes she was just an ordinary person with a minor illness that could be cured at any time.
