After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor
Chapter 302: Young People Meet
From meeting in their youth and growing up together, to being forced to part without saying goodbye, to today's real reunion. Mu Xun listened to the words of thanks coming out of Ziheng's mouth, as if it was a lifetime ago, his nose felt a little sour and he couldn't speak for a while.
He deliberately turned his head to the side, looking into the distance in the darkness, raised the wine jug in his hand and took a big gulp stubbornly, trying to hold back the discomfort in his body. After a long time, Mu Xun's voice sounded in the darkness, defending: "I am willing to help her, not entirely because of you."
After he finished speaking, he struggled a little more, struggling with the fact that this scene was no different from before, but it seemed different in every way, and unfamiliar in every way. Sensing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, when Ziheng was about to say goodbye, Mu Xun mustered up the courage to look back at him, revealing the unique dependent expression when he was a little follower beside him, and smiled and added the name between the two: "Brother Huaichu. Because she is a good person, she took special care of Mengzhu in Nanye and arranged for us to meet..."
Ziheng only heard him call him "Brother Huaichu", and none of the words that followed caught his ear, instantly bringing Ziheng's thoughts back to many years ago. At that time, he had just left Nanye City and joined the border army. He was placed here by the emperor in the name of training, and no one treated him as a prince and no one knew he was.
In all the battles, he was the first to rush in, taking the lead without hesitation, and was the bravest of the three armies. That day, the team was suddenly attacked by Tu Mo, and Ziheng and the main force were separated. Relying on his tactics, he led more than a dozen soldiers to break out of the encirclement. There were only twelve people when they were besieged, and thirteen people when they rushed out - the extra person was Mu Xun.
He was less than ten years old at that time, his face was wrinkled and snotty from crying, and he held Ziheng tightly in panic. He asked him where he was from, what his name was, and where he lived. Mu Xun didn't say anything, just stuck to Ziheng and treated him as his younger brother.
From then on, Mu Xun began to call Ziheng "Brother Huaichu".
After a long time, Ziheng found out that this poor kid was the prince of Tumo. His father was the eldest son of King Tumo, who was also the candidate for the future king. He fell into the water and drowned after drinking. His mother was guarded against everywhere, and he was also tricked into being sent to the chaotic battlefield where two armies were fighting. No one thought that he could come back.
Fortunately, Ziheng came to his rescue. As a prince, he was despised, targeted, and even abandoned by others, so he stayed by his side to take care of him as a younger brother, taught him kung fu to protect himself, and brought him his favorite cakes. Even though Mu Xun was later secretly found and taken back by a confidant sent by his mother, the two still kept in touch when no one was around, until Pei Huaichu, a young general of the Chu State who was well-known for his military prowess, "died" on the battlefield and disappeared without a trace.
Back to the present, Ziheng silently took the wine pot from Mu Xun's hand. It was unknown how much he had just taken a sip, and only half of the pot was left. Ziheng took the wine and put it into his mouth, but was stopped by Mu Xun, who advised him: "You are not well yet, don't drink. How could your emperor be willing to let you out?"
Ziheng gently pushed his hand away, took a sip of wine, and slowly swallowed it, letting the aroma of the wine fill his entire mouth. He slowly said, "You have kept me under house arrest for half a year. Now everyone in the world thinks I am dead. There is no point in keeping me around. Why not make a deal with me and let me go?"
"Brother Huaichu, what are the conditions?" Mu Xun asked.
"I will never set foot in Nanye City in this life." Ziheng smiled with relief and comforted him, "That's fine, just be happy."
Mu Xun nodded and agreed, "That's right. It will be much easier to see you in the future. The world is vast, and there is no place you can't go."
The two exiled souls were leaning on each other and encouraging each other at this moment.
"How have you been recently? I heard that things in Tumo are not peaceful either," Ziheng asked.
Since Princess Mengzhu was assassinated in Nanye City, the marriage selection was completely over. Mengzhu's body was transported back to Tumo, and Mu Xiu's mission as a prince ended - his only use value. After returning, King Tumo not only rewarded him lavishly, but also gave him actual official positions and power.
"Not bad." Mu Xun commented coldly on these days. Although he was entrusted with important tasks by King Tumo and gradually returned to the power field, he was always in awe as one of the candidates for the crown prince, so as not to arouse suspicion and hatred, and was often on thin ice. Only when he took off his identity and returned to Wan Ning and Wan Tao could he have a moment of peace.
"Now Prince Mu Xiu is highly valued by the king. He takes care of everything and I don't need to do anything. Besides, the princess consort helps to handle government affairs, so it won't affect the king even if he is not in good condition. Brother Huaichu, if my mother hadn't forced me to go back, I really want to stay away from all these right and wrongs like you." Mu Xun added, his light blue eyes full of sadness.
Ziheng took another sip of wine, looked at the candlelight in the villa ahead, patted his back gently to comfort him, and said to himself and Mu Xun: "You can't help yourself, be careful everywhere."
Mu Xun nodded. Tumo was in a mess. Princess Qingyu was the biological mother of Prince Mu Ren and secretly supported Mu Xiu. As a result, the power center gradually tilted towards her. Mu Xun was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. He could only continue to hide his incompetence.
It was late at night, and the early autumn night was getting colder. He had said everything he needed to say, and he could say what he couldn't say later. Mu Xun returned the almost empty wine jug to Ziheng, and then he jumped down from the tree to say goodbye.
"Brother Huaichu, our last separation was so sudden. Let me go first this time. Just watch me leave. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, handing Wan Ning to Ziheng safely, which relieved him of one worry. Now he could finally face his mission with peace of mind, go back to Tumo, be his own prince, and avenge his father!
After watching Mu Xun's figure completely disappear from his sight, Ziheng drank all the wine in the pot, then returned to the villa and walked straight towards Wan Ning's room.
Knock, knock, knock—he knocked on Wan Ning’s room. Then the sound of Wan Ning’s footsteps opening the door was heard, along with her mumbling complaints: “Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, do you have any humanity? I’ll punch you later and let you know how powerful I am!”
As soon as the door opened, Ziheng's cheeks were red and he was smiling. When he saw Wan Ning, he immediately opened his arms and asked for a hug, and said coquettishly, "Xiao Wan, hug me."
Seeing his cute and contrasting appearance, Wan Ning was no longer angry. She pretended to blame him and said, "What's wrong with you? Don't think that I can forgive you just because you are like this."
Before she finished speaking, Ziheng took the initiative to come forward and hugged her tightly, resting his head on Wan Ning's shoulder and rubbing his nose against her neck. Wan Ning slowly raised her hand, tentatively hugged her around the waist, and gently patted her back.
Feeling her response, Ziheng pushed harder. The smell of alcohol reached her nose, and Wan Ning suddenly straightened her upper body and asked, "You're still drinking?"
Ziheng continued to lean on her shoulder, holding her head gently with his hand and continuing the intimate action, leaning close to her ear and whispering: "Just a little bit, don't drink it next time."
