I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

Come to think of it, she went out of town today just for him!

Her hand subconsciously placed on the cloth bag she was carrying.

The thatched cottage was built in a unique style, with a small courtyard outside. As soon as you walked out of the door, you would see a steep slope, which overlooked the entire Qingguang Temple, and even the pilgrims who came up the mountain in an endless stream could be seen clearly. This place was very quiet, a good place to escape from the world, and occasionally the long humming of bells could be heard, which made people feel very peaceful.

When he saw Prince Ling again, his expression was even worse than last time.

Without taking his pulse, we can tell that he only has a month or so to live.

"Your health is so poor, why don't you stay at home and take care of yourself? Why are you coming out here? Are you afraid that you won't die soon enough?" Mu Qingyan forgot his identity for a moment and thought that she was a doctor and he was a disobedient patient.

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room broke out in a cold sweat. Mu Yingyu hunched her shoulders and pulled her sleeve, whispering, "You are tired of living! That's Prince Ling!"

Mu Qingyan then realized that she had spoken out of turn. This was Anguo, an era when imperial power was above all else.

The man's face did not change at all, and he looked at Mu Yingyu, "Miss Mu, I have something to talk to your sister alone, please step aside for a moment."

Mu Yingyu subconsciously looked at Mu Qingyan, gave her a sympathetic but helpless look, and followed A Shu out.

After everyone left, Mu Qingyan felt relieved. "What did the prince want to talk to me about? Since I saved your life, you can't just chop me off for what I said, right?"

Prince Ling smiled and extended his hand, motioning her to sit down. He also personally poured her a cup of tea. "I have already ordered people to investigate the people who ambushed you just now. I will inform you when there is news. Prince Chong did not save you, so I will also have someone inform His Majesty."

Mu Qingyan didn't bother to be polite with him and just picked up the tea and drank it all.

"He didn't even save you, the emperor's uncle, so what am I? Less trouble is worse than more." She put down the cup and looked up at the person opposite her. "You should know that you don't have many days to live, right?"

Knowing that she was a straightforward person, she did not feel sad when she heard that. Instead, she smiled and said, "This is my fate. I will live as long as I can. But, I am very curious. Miss Mu and I have only met twice. Why are you so concerned about my health?"

Mu Qingyan placed her hands on the table and blinked her bright eyes. "Let's be frank. I want to find a backer for myself."

The person opposite had a cunning look in his eyes. "It just so happens that the Queen Mother and my brother are forcing me to marry. Why don't you help me too? We can take care of each other and get what we need. How about that?"

Mu Qingyan subconsciously dodged backwards, "What the hell? You want to marry me?"

"If we have a fake marriage and you become Princess Ling, you can leave the Duke's Mansion. I can also use you as a shield and won't be forced into marriage anymore. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Mu Qingyan stood up and walked around the room. Suddenly, she stopped and looked at the person who was sitting there looking dead, but surprisingly calm. "You, seem to be sure that you won't die?"

"Didn't the girl say that? It will take time to remove the poison in my body. This means that the girl has a way to save me, doesn't it?"

Although he is young, he has many ideas. "How can you be sure that I will save you?"

"Well, the girl just said that she wanted to find a backer for herself."

Mu Qingyan was so angry! What's wrong with this guy's brain? Is he exchanging his life for it?

"I can save you, but I won't marry you. I don't want you to be my backer anymore. I want money as the medical fee for saving you. One thousand taels of gold, isn't it too much?"

How should he answer this? Should he say it's a lot? It seems that his life is not worth a thousand taels of gold. Should he say it's a little? Then how much is appropriate?

"You have just been rejected by the Xiangning Marquis's Mansion. Future marriages will certainly not go smoothly. In addition, without anyone to protect you, how much suffering will you have to endure before you can gain a foothold in the capital? But marrying me is different. You don't have to be like other women, taking care of your husband and children, and guarding the backyard all day. There will be no other women in my backyard except you. You don't have to compete with others for favors, and you don't have to be jealous and deceitful. Isn't this a good destination?"

"Who told you that getting married is the best fate for a woman? All the disasters for women start after they get married. Besides, is it so easy to be Princess Ling? Although I don't understand government affairs, there are no simple interpersonal relationships in the royal family. No matter what your purpose is in marrying me, I have to bear the identity of Princess Ling and endure the storms behind this identity. It would be great if you can protect me in everything, but what if you can't? Then wouldn't my life be frozen to the water? You are a prince, but you can be killed by others, so why bother to drag me into it?"

Prince Ling smiled bitterly, "How do you know I was murdered?"

"Nonsense, did you eat the poison in your body yourself? Do you want to die? Then you can save a thousand taels of gold."

Mu Qingyan sat down, lowered her head and fiddled with her skirt. "Just kidding, your body can't wait any longer. If you delay for a few days, not to mention me, even the Great Luo Immortal can't save you. But I fought with someone today, and my internal energy was too much, so it's not appropriate to save you. I'll go to your house tomorrow."

Prince Ling raised his eyes, "What do you need to prepare?"

"Prepare one thousand taels of gold. No credit. And..." She suddenly came closer, blinked her bright eyes like stars, and flashed a cunning look, "Wash yourself clean and wait for me..."

This tone sounded like a pervert who was flirting with decent women. Prince Ling blushed and even secretly wondered how she could cure him... Even a master like Doctor Yan was helpless. How could a girl of seventeen or eighteen learn from her...

"Cough, cough, cough..." Prince Ling coughed a few times to ease the embarrassment, but only he knew how hot his face was.

This was the first time in his twenties that he was molested by a girl younger than him...

"Don't stay here any longer. Go back to the city as soon as possible. Rest early tonight and get enough rest. You will have a tough battle to fight tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave, but Prince Ling stopped her and said, "In that case, I will go with you. After all, you are still being hunted by someone, and if you encounter bad guys on the road again, you can take care of them."

Mu Qingyan nodded when she heard that. "What you said makes sense. Fighting and running away are tiring. If you have a free guard, why not use it? Let's go!"

King Ling laughed.

Mu Yingyu paced back and forth outside, feeling very nervous. In Kyoto, Prince Ling was a person that no one dared to offend. Mu Qingyan's words just now obviously offended him, otherwise why would he leave him alone?
