Chapter 269: Have a Good Sleep
Chapter 269: Have a Good Sleep
"Yue'er, have a good sleep." Lin Muwen responded softly, then hugged Mu Ruixi's slender waist and turned to leave. His eyes were filled with a bit of guilt, as if melting Mu Ruixi's heart.
"Okay, I'll be fine." Mu Ruixi replied. Lin Muwen was very dissatisfied with her lack of care and glared at her fiercely, as if scolding her.
The night wind was slightly chilly, and a strong wind blew across the western wilderness, as if some evil spirit was causing trouble. Lin Muwen applied medicine to Mu Ruixi and asked her if she felt any pain. But Mu Ruixi always said "It's okay".
He was still a long way from winning the battle for the throne. Lin Muwen blamed himself, saying, "I shouldn't have let you take this risk." He stood up, waved his sleeves, and spoke in a decisive tone. Mu Ruixi opened her mouth but held it back.
"This time, I was careless. Besides, I still have the 'Purple Smoke Divine Sword'!" Mu Ruixi said. She couldn't fully use the sword now, but the sword had the nature of protecting its master. If Mu Ruixi was in danger of her life, the sword would definitely sense it.
"But that sword is not invincible. If he reacts too quickly, well, I will never agree to such a thing in the future!" Lin Muwen took off his coat, got on the bed, turned his head to look at the sleeping Mu Ruixi, but he couldn't fall asleep.
"Can you please stop staring at me like that? I can't sleep." Mu Ruixi turned her head away, but Lin Muwen forcibly pulled her gaze back, and their eyes met.
"It's like this, I have something to discuss with you." Lin Muwen's face darkened, and he quickly lay down as if he was about to talk about something serious. She pretended to be asleep, closed her eyes, and reminded him: "Remember, you can't do anything you want without my permission. Go to sleep."
Mu Ruixi was so happy that she could sleep peacefully. It seemed that if she didn't do this, Lin Muwen would keep watching her sleep. But she was really busy, so she just had to wait.
"Lin Muwen, Lin Muwen?" She called softly, but received no response. Only his snoring could be heard. He was clearly acting. "Stop pretending. I really came here for something. Besides, I'm fine. It's just Shuhe who's injured."
"No!" Lin Muwen, not knowing what to say, interrupted her. "No, stop talking nonsense!" Lin Muwen turned his head and glanced at her. In the moonlight outside the window, he could see clearly. "You're fine now, but who knows what will happen if you get hurt next time and Liu Zhiyuan is not around?"
"Have you ever doubted Liu Zhiyuan?" Mu Ruixi asked about his feelings when Liu Zhiyuan was mentioned.
"Yeah, I'm curious too." Lin Muwen raised a finger to his lips, and the two of them fell asleep in tacit understanding.
After all, there will always be someone who hears what you say, so being talkative is a good thing. Neither of them fell asleep, but each carved the words "Crown Prince" on the back of the other's hand.
It must be said that this prince is indeed a character. Even the emperor would have to consider how complicated his subordinates are. But if there were civil officials and military generals in the court, everything would be fine.
Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between good and evil in the imperial court. This time, the battle for the throne is bound to be a fierce struggle. Lin Muwen heard what Mu Ruixi was thinking, and to prevent her from worrying, he comforted her again.
The next morning, she woke up early but didn't get out of bed. The pain from yesterday's battle had eased considerably. "Wake up." She finally spoke until Lin Muwen woke up.
Lin Muwen smiled and said, "Why are you up so early?"
"I have something to talk to you about." Mu Ruixi said firmly. Hearing that she would fight to the last breath, Lin Mu did not hide anymore. He covered her with the quilt and waited for her to speak.
Lin Muwen said, "Go ahead."
"You must promise." Mu Ruixi asked him seriously.
But Lin Muwen didn't hesitate at all. He said, "Go ahead. I need to think about it carefully."
"That won't do. You have to promise." Mu Ruixi stated her request. Judging from her serious expression, it shouldn't be a trivial matter.
"Princess, there's news from outside!" Lin Muwen was shocked. Before he could understand what was going on, Mu Ruixi had already stood up. Lin Muwen motioned for her to continue.
"It is this matter, the change in the western border. I plan to join forces with Prime Minister Shi'an to capture the boss and then capture all the cities in the western border." Lin Muwen immediately refused. Mu Ruixi's expression changed immediately. Looking at her angry expression, he couldn't bear to look at her, but when he thought of her life, he was still willing to accept such a look.
Hearing no response from inside the house, He Hua called out again, and Lin Muwen answered. "Have you been colluding with them for a long time? Why haven't I heard of it? It turns out it's the Prime Minister."
"Of course he knows." She said calmly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"I've already told you not to act on your own." Lin Muwen was the same. Last time, she refused her request, so she came here.
"Do you want to use the same trick again?" Lin Mu knew what she was referring to, and fearing that she would rush over, he hugged her in his arms.
"I don't want to, but I don't want you to take risks either." Lin Muwen said softly, "I understand that everything you do is for my own good, but without you, even if I ascend to the throne, it will be meaningless." Mu Ruixi was moved by his sweet words, but she couldn't give up their ideals because of this.
"Lin Muwen, let me go. It's good for you, for yourself, and for me." Mu Ruixi's tone suddenly softened. She raised her head and looked at Lin Muwen. For a moment, he was really moved. She really cared about his affairs. Mu Ruixi looked at her seriously and nodded: "Okay, but I can't always stand in the front."
"There is a severe drought in the western Xinjiang right now, so there shouldn't be many reinforcements. At most, there will be some rebels. How many people do you think they can have?" Lin Muwen asked.
She kept saying that the poison in his body had not been completely removed and that he couldn't be tortured anymore, but she still let Zhang Shuhe take her with him.
"Do you think I'm useless? You always leave me alone. Shuhe, a woman, can fight with you, so why can't I do it?" Mu Ruixi felt the sourness in his tone and felt warm in her heart.
"You are my driving force, I must ensure your safety." He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
