Quickly wear the host, don't panic, the person hasn't run far yet

"The princess wants to see you."

Zhuxing tried hard to move his legs that were frozen stiff.

But the moment he stood up, he staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, Suifeng, who was standing by, was quick to help him.

Zhuxing lowered his head even more and said thank you in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse.

Then he broke away from Suifeng's hand and walked towards the door with difficulty.

Suifeng shook his head helplessly and followed quickly.

Looking at the young man who was kneeling on the ground with his head down and a pale face, his whole body was soaked by the melted snow.

Mu Wanxi held her chin and looked forward expressionlessly.

It seemed like she was looking at him, but also like she wasn't.

After a long time, Mu Wanxi withdrew her hand and spoke slowly.

"Zhuxing, do you know you are wrong?"

Mu Wanxi's tone was calm, without the anger and questioning that Zhuxing had expected.

He kowtowed quickly.

"I know I was wrong, please punish me, Master."

As the words fell, there was a dull and loud sound of a head hitting the ground.

"What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't have acted on impulse and rushed to the dungeon to assassinate the Second Prince. I almost caused a disaster and brought unnecessary trouble to my master. It was my lack of consideration that caused trouble for my master. I hope my master will forgive my momentary confusion. I will leave it to you without complaint."

Mu Wanxi withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes.

It concealed the hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"The Southern Kingdom delegation will leave Beijing soon. You should follow them back to the Southern Kingdom."

Mu Wanxi's tone was still calm without any ripples, but what she said shocked Zhuxing.

He suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes, and looked at Mu Wanxi in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise.

"Master, what did you say? Are you...going to chase Zhuxing away?"

His lips were trembling slightly, and there was a tremor in his voice, and he no longer had the calmness he had just had.

Mu Wanxi didn't say anything, just looked at him expressionlessly.

Now he was really panicking.

No, he couldn't leave. He had to stay by his master's side, protect his master's safety, and help his master eliminate those people with evil intentions.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never left his master's side.

The master cannot drive him away because of this matter.

He crawled forward a few steps on his knees, getting closer to Mu Wanxi.

"Master, Zhuxing really knows he was wrong. Please give me one more chance. I will never do it again. Please forgive me this time for all the years of your companionship."

Zhuxing begged desperately.

As he spoke, he kowtowed on the ground until blood came out of his forehead.

Mu Wanxi then frowned and spoke.

"enough."

Looking at the young man who was curled up with his thin body and trembling slightly on the ground, Mu Wanxi sighed helplessly.

"Zhu Xing, you are a smart person. You should know why I want you to leave."

"You are no longer suitable to stay by my side. I have given you a chance."

Zhuxing's body suddenly stiffened.

My own secret dirty thoughts.

It turns out that the master knows everything...

He raised his head almost in despair, his eyes full of fear and anxiety.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He really wanted to ask when his master knew about it, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.

It was as if she saw through his thoughts, and as if she wanted him to give up completely.

Mu Wanxi continued calmly.

"Although you are young, you have never been an impulsive person. On the contrary, you are thoughtful. No matter what the reason, you must know what the consequences will be if you assassinate the second prince here, but you still did it."

“If you really want this for me, you can wait until the Second Prince leaves the Regent’s Palace, or even leaves the Northern Kingdom, before you take action against him. With your ability, you have plenty of opportunities.

But you chose this time, this place.

So, you know exactly what it is for.”

There was a hint of sharpness in Mu Wanxi's calm eyes, and a sense of oppression from the superior's intimidation was unconsciously revealed.

"Zhu Xing, I don't need anyone to make any decisions for me, and I don't need you to do unnecessary things in the name of doing good for me.

I know what I want and what I am doing. You are overstepping your authority."

"I don't want to punish you again for this matter. Please leave."

These words were like thunderbolts striking Zhuxing.

He was split into pieces.

He staggered out of the room in a daze, feeling dizzy and not knowing what day it was.

The blood on his forehead had dried, and he stepped on the thick snow in a daze.

He just felt dizzy, his mind full of the last sentence, and his master spoke to him with a disappointed look on his face.

"Go away. I don't want to see you again."

The master was not angry or furious, but was just disappointed in him.

Full of disappointment.

At this moment, he truly realized how wrong he was.

He had thoughts that he shouldn't have had.

And his little thoughts could not escape the eyes of his master.

His master gave him a chance, but he didn't seize it.

He actually just wanted to stop Mu Wanxi from doing that.

He felt that it was not worth it for his master to sacrifice so much for that person.

He just wanted to create some trouble between them.

Let the master see the true face of that person.

It also lets the master know that this sickly person cannot protect her.

He is not someone worthy of entrusting your life to.

He had imagined countless possibilities, but never thought things would turn out like this.

Everything is too late.

As early as when he knelt outside the door, he knew that it was too late.

When Rufeng came out safely and the room was silent without any noise, he knew that everything was over.

His plan failed.

He just still had a hope.

I hope my master knows nothing and can forgive me.

He allowed himself to be beaten, scolded and punished.

It doesn't matter how you deal with him.

Just didn't expect it.

The master will abandon him directly.

And said, I never want to see him again...

No, he couldn't leave like this, thinking of his master's last disappointed look.

Zhuxing clenched his fists, his eyes flickering with unwillingness.

He can't just give up like this.

----

Under the flickering candlelight, Mu Wanxi moved her slightly stiff body.

He put down the book in his hand and looked unconsciously towards the direction of the outer door.

Luo Chen said he had some things to deal with in the study, and he has been out for more than an hour and has not returned yet.

"You really don't know how to take care of yourself. You are so weak, and you don't even know to light more charcoal in the study."

Mu Wanxi muttered to herself and pulled the blanket around her body closer.

I was thinking about whether I should get up and go to the study to see him.

I fell into an embrace that was slightly cold.

The man gently rested his chin on Mu Wanxi's shoulder and hugged her tightly from behind.

The slightly cool breath sprays on my ears, and a familiar scent lingers on my nose.

Mu Wanxi curled up the corners of her lips unconsciously.
