In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

When everyone left, the slave girl A Ling came forward and respectfully helped Sha Shen up. Her hands and neck were covered with whip marks.

Only Aling knew that those dark nights of being treated as non-human, being abused, beaten and violated countless times were finally over.

She no longer remembered who she was. She saw the red sun shining on her body and the wounds on her body seemed to be gently bandaged.

A thin layer of mist covered Mu Jinan's bright eyes, as she once again directly faced the word "slave" in her heart, the slave who was bullied and oppressed by the old feudal system.

She was like an "executioner" who "stood idly by" and slowly lowered her eyes.

My heart feels bitter.

Powerless.

Ah Ling's eyes were filled with determination and gratitude, silently saying "thank you"

Mu Jinan only said two words: "Ten days"

See A Ling taking Sha Shen away.

Mu Jinan looked at Li Huaijin with a guilty look on her face. He had saved her once, so she said distressedly:

“Does the wound hurt?”

Li Huaijin took her hand, his eyes like dancing stars, and wiped the blood off her face. He had just thought of killing Sha Xin, and she dared to hurt Mu Jinan.

He endured the pain from the residual poison in his body and chuckled:

"Come back with me, and I'll have someone make you an identical one."

Outside the Prince of Qi's mansion, Li Heng sat in the carriage, watching Mu Jinan leave, his eyes full of sinisterness, and whispered:

"Shashen, I'm afraid she won't survive."

Ce'an bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we..."

Li Heng interrupted him: "No hurry, let's see how capable she is."

The rain drops gently on Spring's brows. She leans against the small window porch, her eyes as tender as the apricot blossoms swaying in the misty rain.

Holding the starry sky indigo glass cup like a treasure in her hand, she listened to the apricot blossoms and the drizzle, watched the green branches and willows, and lowered her eyes, she said softly:

"The rain from the apricot blossoms wets my clothes, while the wind from the willow trees blows on my face without making me feel cold"

Li Huaijin walked lightly. He stood behind him, and a hint of incomprehensible emotion flashed across his clear eyes.

Said softly:

"Drinking secretly again?"

Mu Jinan turned her head and raised her eyes, her gaze met his. The candlelight was swaying, and the apricot blossoms were kissing her cheeks in the breeze. She looked delicate and soft.

The two of them had eyes that were as gentle and affectionate as water.

Li Huaijin suddenly became a little nervous, lowered his eyes, and did not dare to look her in the eye.

The little deer in my heart seemed to be about to run out.

He sat down gently.

There was a slight warmth in the air through the petals.

Want to get closer to her.

Li Huaijin was about to speak: "Jin'an, I..."

Suddenly, Zezhou shouted "Your Majesty".

Breaking the delicate atmosphere between the two, they immediately sat up straight.

Zezhou was confused and asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Why are your ears so red?"

Li Huaijin's deep eyes showed no trace of emotion. He said, "We will set the rules in the future and report outside the courtyard." He gritted his teeth and said,

"What's the matter?"

Zezhou said innocently: "Your Majesty, General Mu will be able to enter the city and return home tomorrow."

Mu Jinan asked excitedly: "So fast?"

Zezhou scratched his head. Seeing Mu Jinan happy, the prince would be happy, and he would be happy too:

"The prince wrote a letter to General Mu. General Mu knew that his wife was not allowed to enter the palace, so he rode as fast as he could."

Mu Jinan raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing that he had secretly helped him and saved him today, he felt touched:

"Do good deeds, say it firmly, and don't regret it"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Huaijin was thoughtful. When he thought about her leaving the palace, he felt reluctant and was already sad in advance:

"What else do you need from me tomorrow?"

Mu Jinan smiled and said, "Please ask my father to come to the palace to pick me up personally."

----

At noon the next day, inside the Prince Liang's mansion, the maid Jingli was heard crying in panic, reporting to Li Huaijin:

"My Lord, it's bad, Madam Mu vomited blood."

Li Huaijin was struck by lightning and said in panic:

"What?" "Go find the doctor."

He quickly got up and ran all the way to the west wing, Qian'an Pavilion, and approached her.

Her face was pale, her whole body was hot, the wound on her right shoulder was red and swollen, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. The golden snake dart was placed on the bedside, and Wu Rong was tied and kneeling in the room.

Li Huaijin looked flustered, his pupils shrank slightly. Why was this woman so cruel to him? His eyes were red and he said with heartache:

"Mu Jinan, how could you poison yourself? It's ok for you to be cruel to me, but are you trying to piss me off to death?"

"Don't do that to yourself anymore, you hear me?"

Mu Jinan endured the pain and just wanted to get down to business: "Call the imperial physician and bring my father here."

"hurry up"

Li Huaijin had no choice but to order Zezhou to invite General Mu immediately. An hour later, guards and Imperial Physician Xue came in a hurry to treat Mu Jinan.

Doctor Xue felt the pulse and fell into deep thought. This poison was a bit strange. He said cautiously:

"My Lord, this woman's poison..."

Mu Jinan said softly, "My Lord, this poison is in my body. I feel it is extremely toxic. The person who poisoned me wants to kill me."

Seeing Li Huaijin holding Mu Jinan's hand, his face full of worry, he said:

"Extremely poisonous? This king will definitely take care of it for you."

Doctor Xue lowered his eyes when he saw this. He had heard that King Liang had a concubine whom he doted on, so he echoed:

"The person who poisoned me has evil intentions. I need to carefully prepare the medicine to detoxify you."

Li Huaijin's eyes were deep as he said, "Thank you, Doctor Xue, for everything."

After a while, Zezhou brought General Mu Chen to the palace. When he heard that his daughter was injured, he hurried to the palace.

Li Huaijin stood up: "General Mu"

Mu Chen returned the greeting and said, "Your Majesty"

He looked at Mu Jinan with heartache. Seeing that she was pale, unconscious with a high fever, his hands kept shaking.

Seeing that the bloodstains on the ground had not been removed, he suppressed his anger:

"Jin'er, what's going on?"

"You were fine, why did you suddenly fall ill?"

Li Huaijin blamed himself:

"Madam Mu returned to the general's mansion but was stopped outside. I saw that she was alone, helpless, hungry, and being hunted, so I took her back to the palace. But the thief was not resigned and was seriously injured by an assassin in my mansion."

As he spoke, he handed the Golden Snake Dart to Mu Chen.

"The dart held by the assassin is poisonous, the imperial physician has confirmed it."

A trace of surprise flashed across Mu Chen's eyes: "Golden Snake Dart?"

At this time, Doctor Xue's expression was serious: "This poison is a mixture of multiple toxins. Although it is a trace amount, it is extremely toxic. Fortunately, it was treated early, otherwise..."

As he said this, he shook his head and sighed, adding fuel to the fire:

"Alas, what hatred could have caused such a cruel act?"

Mu Chen had just seen his daughter, and when he saw King Liang was here, he said anxiously:

"Has the assassin been caught?"

Zezhou came in with Wurong, and when Mu Chen saw her, he exclaimed:

"Wu Rong, why are you here?"

Li Huaijin was surprised:

"General, do you know this person? She is a new maid in my house."

Mu Chen was furious and asked, "Tell me, why did you kill Jin'er?"

Seeing Wurong remained silent, Mu Chen drew his sword and placed the sword's core against Wurong's heart.

Wurong was terrified and cried loudly for mercy:

"General, please spare my life. It's my lady."

Mu Chen was stunned as if struck by lightning. How could the lady who was always gentle and virtuous kill her own daughter? His face was full of disbelief:

"Why?"

At this time, Mu Jinan coughed violently a few times and woke up. She breathed hard. Mu Chen hurried over and said anxiously:

"Jin'er, you're awake. How do you feel now?"

Mu Jinan's eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a daze:

"Am I dead? I saw my mother. Can you take me home?"

Mu Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he choked with sobs:

"Jin'er, it's daddy. Daddy will take you back."

A few lines of tears were left on Mu Jinan's pale face. She struggled to see clearly and cried heartbreakingly:

"Father, is it really you? I will have no regrets if I can see you before I die."

Mu Chen comforted her: "No, Jin'er will be fine."

He was furious at the moment, his anger had reached its peak, and he said in a deep voice:

"Wu Rong, why did that vicious woman want to kill the Second Lady?"

Wurong cried like a pear blossom in the rain, which made people feel distressed:

"General, spare my life. Madam wanted the third lady to marry into the Lu family. She tried to assassinate her several times but failed, so she sent me here."

Mu Chen was shocked and asked, "How many times?"

Li Huaijin saw that the time had come and knew what Mu Jinan was thinking, so he acted with her:

"When I first met her, Madam Mu was tied up in Hu Yulou, and a customer was bidding for her. I felt sorry for her, and when I heard her say that she was the general's daughter, I redeemed her and brought her back to the palace to wait for the general to return."

Mu Chen asked angrily: "What, Hu Yulou?" Isn't that a brothel?

Li Huaijin's face was serious, and every word he said touched Mu Jinan's heart. Mu Jinan then realized that he had this side:

"Later, she left the house alone and was assassinated by a dozen thieves, but she luckily escaped."

"I thought the palace was safe, but now..."

Especially the tone of voice that seemed to want to say something but hesitated made Mu Chen even more angry. This was a family scandal that was heard by Prince Liang and the imperial physician.

As he spoke, Li Huaijin actually bowed and said:

"Please forgive me, General, I didn't take good care of Madam Mu."

Mu Chen stood up and said gratefully:

"I am grateful for your kindness, Your Majesty. One day, I will come to thank you in person."

Mu Jinan propped himself up and thought to himself, "Will my father let me recuperate in the palace? I have to go back to the palace to deal with that woman."
