Upon hearing this, Doctor Jing immediately put down the handkerchief in his hand, wiped his hands casually on his collar, took the cinnabar, and looked at it carefully, "Yes, this is it."

Doctor Jing was a little excited, and looked up at Mu Xiaoqiao, "Girl, you are amazing. No one has collected this cinnabar for more than ten years. I didn't expect that you actually brought it back. This kid can be saved."

Hearing this, Mu Xiaoqiao felt that the haze that had been lingering on her for a long time had been slightly dispelled, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Jing."

Doctor Jing took the cinnabar to prepare medicine. As soon as he left the room, Chen Taorui, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't wait to speak: "General, he is..."

Mu Xiaoqiao knew that he had guessed it, so she nodded, "Yes, he is the Crown Prince of Nanrong, Ruan Haoyu."

"I killed him." Chen Taorui drew his knife, his face full of murderous intent.

When the others saw that something was not right, they quickly grabbed Chen Taorui, and Mu Xiaoqiao shouted, "Put away the knife."

"General..." Chen Taorui was furious, "He almost ruined your reputation, why are you still defending him?"

Mu Xiaoqiao pinched her brows. She didn't know what to say about this matter. "In short, we can't kill him now. The Nanrong Palace has changed. Keeping him will do more good than harm to our Great Jin Dynasty."

She could only bring up the overall situation to convince her subordinates. They were all iron-blooded men who were absolutely loyal to Da Jin. Only this reason could make them not act rashly for the time being.

Sure enough, Chen Taorui finally calmed down after hearing this, and asked in confusion: "Has Nanrong Palace changed?"

Mu Xiaoqiao simply told his men the rumors he had heard, and finally said: "Whether the rumors are true or not, Nanrong is definitely facing internal and external troubles, so we should wait and see for the time being. This Crown Prince Haoyu..."

Mu Xiaoqiao looked at Ruan Haoyu. Although he had been unconscious for such a long time, the blood on his body had been cleaned up and his external injuries had healed a lot. His face was still pale, but he was still so handsome that it made both gods and humans infuriate people.

"He saved my life, so if I save him this time, we're even. I, Mu Xiaoqiao, never owe anyone a favor, so this time, no one is allowed to take action."

Mu Xiaoqiao's eyes swept over his subordinates one by one, and finally fell on Chen Taorui.

Chen Taorui reluctantly put away his sword and clasped his fists, saying, "I obey your orders!"

Mu Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "You have all traveled thousands of miles for me for so many days. You should go and have a rest first. We have to travel overnight tonight."

After bowing, several people retreated. Mu Xiaoqiao helped Ruan Haoyu change the scarf on his forehead. Her fingers moved from his eyebrows down, across his high nose bridge, and gently rested on his lips.

He is the man who took her first kiss and is also the prince of the enemy country. There are two countries between them, but they want to stop the war between the two countries through marriage and bring peace to the people of both countries. Is there love between them?

Mu Xiaoqiao was not clear. They had known each other for too short a time, so short that they had not even spoken much. But Mu Xiaoqiao felt as if they had known each other for a long time, so long that... she had forgotten that she had entered the enemy camp in the first place just to kill him. It had been so long that she only remembered the moment when he pressed her head in his arms and jumped off.

Mu Xiaoqiao only knew that she didn't want to kill him at all. Instead, she hoped that he would get better soon, hoped that he could solve the Nanrong Palace coup, and hoped that he could really facilitate the marriage...

Mu Xiaoqiao felt her face getting a little hot. She used to hate hearing her father talk about arranging a marriage for her. She felt that fighting on the battlefield was her mission in life. Why was she so eager to get married now?

The lips under his hand moved slightly, and Mu Xiaoqiao stood up as if his hand was burned, but he heard Ruan Haoyu mumbling in his sleep: "General Mu... Mu Xiaoqiao."

Mu Xiaoqiao laughed. This fool was really persistent.

Suddenly, her ears moved slightly, and there was a strange noise outside, followed by the voice of Liang Qiaofu, "Who are you?"

No one answered him, and then there was the sound of weapons clashing. Mu Xiaoqiao knew that the person she was waiting for had arrived.

Feng Qi, the commander of the Jin army sent by Mu Xiaoqiao, blocked the sword that was stabbing at him with his sword and forced the attacker back. Then he heard the voice of his own general Mu behind him, "Stop."

Ruan Haoyu's secret guards naturally recognized Mu Xiaoqiao. They were shocked to see her standing there majestically. They had not received any orders from the prince for a long time and had lost the prince's trace. They could only follow the prince's last instructions and chase after the people who rescued Mu Xiaoqiao.

Now Mu Xiaoqiao is standing here unscathed, so their prince...

"Come in." Mu Xiaoqiao said lightly while standing at the door, signaling Ruan Haoyu's secret guards.

"General..." The soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty all wanted to stop Mu Xiaoqiao from being alone with those secret guards, fearing that there might be danger.

Mu Xiaoqiao waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's okay." Ruan Haoyu was still inside. The secret guards usually only pledged loyalty to one master and had to undergo strict selection, so Mu Xiaoqiao was sure that these people would not act rashly.

Half an hour later, Mu Xiaoqiao walked out of the room alone, took a deep breath, and it was time to go back.

She had already explained everything clearly to the secret guards, and also told them the news of the Nanrong Palace coup, so that when Ruan Haoyu woke up, they would have enough time to plan and would not fall into danger.

She simply felt that Nanrong was better off in Ruan Haoyu's hands than in Ruan Haotian's hands.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the courtyard. Seeing that Liang Qiaofu and Doctor Jing were busy, Mu Xiaoqiao knew that they had many doubts. She was sorry to involve them in the court situation, but she also believed that Ruan Haoyu would be able to protect them.

Taking a deep breath, she walked into the thatched cottage in the yard. Doctor Jing was decocting medicine for Ruan Haoyu inside, and Woodcutter Liang was also helping. Mu Xiaoqiao stood beside them, not knowing how to start the conversation for a moment.

It was Liang the Woodcutter who saw her embarrassment and laughed, "Young lady, don't be embarrassed. Doctor Jing and I are both country folks. We don't care if you are a big shot or not. Since you are guests in our Taohua Village, we are just showing our hospitality. After you leave, we will live our lives as usual. We don't know anything else."

Mu Xiaoqiao was very grateful. She thought for a moment, took off the glass earrings she had been wearing, and put one in each of their hands. She said, "I have nothing but these glass earrings, which were passed down from my grandmother. If you need me, Mu Xiaoqiao, in the future, just send these earrings to General Mu's mansion in Dajin. I will brave mountains of swords and seas of fire for you."

Woodcutter Liang and Doctor Jing were still trying to refuse, but Mu Xiaoqiao had already walked out of the hut, called together his men, took a deep look at the room where Ruan Haoyu was, and then without hesitation, shouted, "Let's go!" and rode away first.
