Just across the door, the atmosphere outside was tense to the point where it was irreconcilable and a battle was about to break out.

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Wan Ning, who was watching the fun, immediately became serious, straightened up and stretched out her hand to open the door of protection. Ziheng subconsciously wanted to keep her, but then withdrew his hand in dismay, and just kept it by his side to protect him from the swords outside.

"I'll be back soon." Wan Ning turned her head and made a promise easily, making people wonder whether it was true or false.

At this time, Mu Xun was already holding a sword and attacking Li Song, and the guards behind him also surrounded him with weapons and attacked him. Even though he was alone against four people, Li Song still did not lose the upper hand, and no one on the other side even took advantage.

"Stop it, stop fighting!" Wan Ning shouted, trying to calm down this fight that was mistakenly a life-and-death struggle.

Mu Xun glanced at her to check if everything was okay, but he still didn't stop "sparring" with Lisong, and deliberately called her in an ambiguous tone: "Ningning, come here quickly, I'll take you back!"

The sound disturbed Lisong, and the others took advantage of the time when he turned around to chop him with sharp blades. Two fists were no match for four hands, and Lisong fell into a disadvantage for a while and was attacked from all sides.

"what--"

Suddenly, one of them howled in pain, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he knelt on the ground with one hand covering his ribs. Taking this opportunity, Lisong successfully escaped and looked towards the direction of the villa gate.

"Prince Tumo Muxun has come to visit us. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar, but it is the etiquette of the Tumo royal family to meet each other with weapons."

Ziheng was dressed in white, with a green belt around his waist and a wide veil on his head that covered his face tightly. Although his real face could not be seen, his temperament could tell that he must have an extraordinary background.

Seeing this, the three Tu Mo guards raised their swords and surrounded Prince Mu Xun to protect his safety.

Mu Xun bowed and said, "You must be the owner of the villa. I came here only to pick up my fiancée and did not mean to disturb you."

Ziheng looked at Wan Ning and saw that she did not feel repulsive to the "fiancée". He was even more upset but his face remained calm. He asked, "Fiancée?"

After getting Mu Xun's affirmation, Ziheng continued to ask: "I have never heard that Prince Tumo has a fiancé. Besides, I only have women from Chu Country here. Could it be that Prince Tumo's fiancée is a foreigner?"

Mu Xun smiled proudly and walked forward to hold Wan Ning's wrist. He then checked whether she was okay with a considerate and gentle manner. He then looked in Ziheng's direction. He just wanted to make Ziheng jealous. He didn't know how distorted the face under the veil would be.

"Yes, we are in love with each other and have decided to spend our lives together. How can she not be my fiancée? One day I will bring her back to see the king to ask for an arranged marriage. We in Tumo don't have as many rules as your Chu Kingdom. I'm sure he will agree!" Ziheng replied, his eyes always on Wan Ning.

At this time, Wan Ning no longer refuted like before, but kept secretly looking at this strange man who she had only met twice. She didn't know what kind of expression the face under the veil was. Would he try to keep her like he said before? Or would he retreat in the face of difficulties and let someone take her away.

Ziheng knew that Wan Ning and Mu Xun had a special relationship, but it was not a romantic one. But now he had not been with her for more than half a year, and he was not there when she needed him the most. Maybe she would fall in love with someone else, not to mention that their former friendship caused her to be hurt by the emperor and lose her memory.

"Maybe it's better for her if I can't remember anything like this?"

Ziheng hesitated like this, watching Mu Xun holding Wan Ning's hand and walking away, unconsciously clenching his fist. At this moment, Wan Ning looked back at him with reluctance in her eyes.

"Wait!" Ziheng shouted and walked towards Wan Ning.

Upon seeing this, Tu Mo's guards drew their swords to protect their master and started fighting with Lisong again.

Ziheng grabbed Wan Ning's wrist and asked, "I want you to be here. I want you to stay by my side. Can you not leave?"

Seeing that Wan Ning remained silent, he pressed on, "It's just three days. If you still want to leave, I'll send you away, okay? I can't live without you. You used the spring water from the villa, so you have to be responsible!"

Wan Ning pursed her lips and muttered softly, "Why are you starting to act like a spoiled child?" She looked left and right, and was caught in a dilemma for a moment. The collision between reason and emotion reached its peak.

Mu Xun was anxious, and pulled Wan Ning into his arms, and separated them, as if he was catching an adulterer: "Let go of your hand, this is my fiancée. She doesn't know you, don't pester her anymore, you will cause her trouble and harm! If I were you, I would stay away from her, and it would be best if we never meet in this life. Some people's existence will bring storms, and it is best for such people to live alone until the end of their lives."

Ziheng lowered his head and withdrew his hand angrily, reluctantly looking in Wan Ning's direction.

"Miss, Miss!" Wan Tao got the news and immediately rushed here to join the chaotic situation. She recognized Lisong at a glance.

At that time, she accompanied her young lady to visit Liu Xueyu's wife and had met Lisong. She knew that he was Ziheng's man. Then she set her eyes on Ziheng who was wearing a white veil hat, and her eyes widened in disbelief for a moment.

The news of the emperor's death spread throughout the streets of Chu State, and everyone knew that the emperor had returned to the throne. Before leaving the palace, when she accompanied the young lady to say goodbye to the emperor, she had a few words with Lord Fang Xiong and knew that the emperor was in danger this time. So she always thought that Ziheng was really gone, but she didn't expect to meet him again here, and her eyes instantly turned red and she couldn't bear the sadness.

"you you……"

"Tao'er, I miss you so much!" Wan Ning hugged Wan Tao and broke away from Mu Xun's hand.

"Just look, I now have another witness who can prove that she is my fiancée!" Mu Xun pointed at Wan Tao and introduced her proudly.

Ziheng opened his hand to touch her sleeve, but Mu Xun grabbed him and pushed him away. Lisong was eager to protect his master and stepped forward with his sword. The atmosphere reached a peak in an instant. The guards on Tumo's side were not to be outdone and started fighting again.

In the chaotic battle, Ziheng had been protecting Wan Ning. At this time, a soldier from Tumo drew his sword and came straight towards Wan Ning. The fierce look in his eyes did not seem to be accidental, but rather it seemed that he was targeting her, otherwise he would not be aiming at her vital points.

Ziheng was quick-witted and pulled Wan Ning straight behind him with his left hand, and in a hurry, he grabbed the sharp sword with his right hand. Blood immediately dripped down the sword and fell on his white clothes like a blooming flower.

Wan Ning subconsciously pushed the murderer away, feeling heartbroken and scolding him, "Get away from me, stay away from my man."

"Ziheng, Ziheng, are you okay?" Wan Ning asked.

"Yanyan, do you recognize me?"
