The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me
Chapter 165 How to choose
Seeing Nangong Min's happy expression, Mu Jin couldn't help but laugh with him, but when he looked up and saw the scar on Nangong Min's forehead, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Mu Jin hurriedly walked over with a frown, wanting to take a closer look at the scar on Nangong Min's forehead, but Nangong Min embarrassedly avoided him.
Mu Jin seemed to be thinking about something and asked, "Did you get this injury last night? Is this why you didn't let me light the lamp?"
Nangong Min looked at Mu Jin somewhat awkwardly.
"It's okay, Jin. I was in a hurry yesterday and bumped into the door frame without paying attention."
There was disbelief in Mu Jin's eyes. The wound on Nangong Min's forehead was obviously caused by some broken and sharp object.
She took Nangong Min's hand, walked into the room, and carefully applied medicine to the wound on Nangong Min's forehead.
Nangong Min looked at Mu Jin gently.
"Don't worry, Jin. This injury is not serious for me. It will heal quickly even without applying medicine."
"I was originally thinking that you might see the wound on my forehead and worry about me, so I thought about coming to see you tonight, but I missed you so much that I couldn't help but come to see you."
Mu Jin guessed that Nangong Min's injury was probably caused by Nangong Min begging Nangong Yun for something yesterday.
As for what he was begging for, it is not difficult to guess. It should be that Nangong Yun wanted Nangong Min to inherit the position of clan leader and marry Bai Ling'er together. Nangong Min refused, so he kowtowed to Nangong Yun and begged for mercy, resulting in the scars.
Mu Jin looked at Nangong Min, whose eyes were full of her, and finally couldn't bear to expose him. She simply said to Nangong Min: "Fool."
The two of them stayed in the courtyard all day, just hugging each other quietly and chatting occasionally.
Nangong Min talked a lot today. He said more in one day than he did in a whole year when he was in the General's Mansion.
He seemed to have endless things to say to Mu Jin. As long as Mu Jin stayed in his arms and listened to him quietly, he felt extremely happy and satisfied.
Time passed quietly, and it was not until dinner time that Nangong Min had to reluctantly part with Mu Jin because he had to find Bai Ling'er and go to Nangong Yundi's bedroom to plead for mercy.
That day, Nangong Min did not come to see Mu Jin until Mu Jin fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Mu Jin woke up from her sleep. She looked towards the end of the bed as usual, but Nangong Min was not sitting there like last night.
Mu Jin felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't find the reason.
Helplessly, she could only close her eyes, trying her best to empty her mind and force herself to fall asleep.
Early in the morning, Mu Jin was awakened by a knock on the door. Mu Jin got up and opened the door. It was Nangong Yun's servant.
"Miss Mu, the old lady said that she would like to invite you to have breakfast with her."
Mu Jin was puzzled. Nangong Yun had left her alone in this small courtyard for the past two days. Did he remember her and come here today?
Although Mu Jin thought so in her heart, she did not show it on her face. After all, she was Nangong Min's grandmother, someone she needed to respect.
Mu Jin said to the attendant, "Please wait a moment. Let me change and wash. Then I will go with you to see the old lady."
Mu Jin changed into a simple and elegant outfit and followed Nangong Yun's attendants out the door.
In the dining room of Yufu Hall, Nangong Yun was placing a piece of cake on Mu Jin's plate with a kind look on his face.
"Miss Mu, I have been feeling unwell these past two days, and I haven't thanked you properly for saving Min'er yet. This is really rude."
Mu Jin said humbly, "Old Madam, there is no need to be so polite."
Nangong Yun smiled slightly after hearing this.
"Miss Mu, to be honest, today I want to personally thank you for saving Min'er's life, and secondly, I have something to ask of you."
Mu Jin put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand: "Old Madam, you are embarrassing me by saying this. I will listen to you if you have anything to say."
Nangong Min smiled and said, "I know you and Min'er love each other, so I shouldn't tell you this, but as a Nangong person, I have to say this."
"Ms. Mu, Min'er should have told you the usefulness of his blood."
Mu Jin nodded.
"This matter has been unknown to outsiders for hundreds of years. Even within the Nangong Divine Sect, only the successor to the Sect Master can know it. This is the secret of our Nangong Divine Sect."
"I told Min about this secret the night before he inherited the position of clan leader, and he only learned about it."
"Min knew that this matter was related to the survival of our Nangong Divine Sect, but he still chose to tell you. This shows how important you are in his mind."
"However, even so, I still want to apologize to you first. Min'er cannot be with you."
Before Mu Jin came, she had already thought that Nangong Min was going to persuade her to break up with Nangong Min, so she didn't feel strange when she heard Nangong Yun say that.
"Madam, I'm afraid I can't listen to you on this matter. Min not only has feelings for me, but also a favor. I respect Min's thoughts. If he is determined to be with me, then I will never leave him."
Nangong Yun was not surprised by Mu Jin's answer.
"Miss Mu, to be honest, you know the secrets of our Nangong Divine Sect, so we cannot spare your life. But Min believes in you, and I also believe in the Mu family. They are upright and honest, and not those sinister villains. So I will not kill you for this."
"Not only will I not kill you, but I will also tell you another secret of the Nangong Divine Sect today. That is, the heir of our Nangong Divine Sect must combine with the Miaogong Spirit Son and Spirit Daughter. Only the blood born can be used as medicine and save the people of this world at the critical moment."
When Nangong Yun said this, Mu Jin was completely stunned as if he had been electrocuted.
She always thought that Nangong Yun and Nangong Min emphasized the need to marry the Miao family just to make the two families stronger. She never dared to think that the marriage between the two families was to give birth to a new medicine man.
Mu Jin pulled the corner of his mouth in disbelief and said, "Isn't the old lady trying to frame me? This is too absurd. Please forgive me for not believing it."
Nangong Yun sighed heavily, "Miss Mu, you are not the only one who doesn't believe it. When I first heard it from my parents, I also found it hard to accept it. We Nangong people have always had only one son for generations, and my parents only have me as their daughter. They want me to inherit the position of the leader of the Nangong Divine Sect and to combine with Miao Gong Lingzi, saying that I can save the people. How can I believe this!"
"But later my parents told me that we, the Nangong people, were born to live for the world. This is our inescapable fate. I have no choice. Min'er's parents are the same, so how can he be an exception?"
"Each of the ten longevity pills from our Nangong Divine Sect condensed the essence and blood of past sect leaders. They were carefully refined and have the power to quell the plague."
"However, now all of these longevity pills have been stolen by Nangong Ce. If a large-scale plague breaks out again in the world, without the longevity pills, tens of millions of innocent people will suffer and be killed by the plague."
"Now, apart from me, only Min's blood can be used as a medicine to refine the longevity pill. Therefore, Min'er and Miaogong Lingnu need to get married as soon as possible to breed a new bloodline and pass on our mission of living for the people of Nangong."
"This matter is of great importance. I beg Miss Mu to help me leave Min'er. No matter what the Mu family needs in the future, our Nangong Divine Sect will definitely support them."
After hearing Nangong Yun's words, Mu Jin's heart was in a mess. She didn't know how to choose. On one side was the love between her children and on the other was the responsibility to save the people. It seemed that no matter which choice she made, it would be wrong.
