Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Mu Lanxun tapped her nose and said with a smile, "Are you scared?"

"No, I just didn't expect you to tell me so bluntly. Are you really not afraid that I'll be scared?"

Feng Xili had been mentally prepared since her last hunting trip in the enclosure.

She was targeted and persecuted when she was just a little concubine's daughter. She had never hurt anyone, but she was still thrown into the woods and forced to face ferocious beasts.

Who was kind to her at that time?

She doesn't want to be a saint, she just wants to live a simple life.

Mu Lanxun straightened his face and said, "I'm sorry, but if you're with me, you'll encounter this kind of thing sooner or later. Instead of hiding it from you, it's better to let you accept it slowly from the beginning."

She stood up and put her arms around his neck. "I understand. You don't have to explain. Some things don't have right or wrong because of different standpoints."

He took the opportunity to embrace her, his heart burning with joy. Everyone around him thought that he was young, had no experience, and no knowledge. He only had a noble status, but was dependent on others. No one was optimistic about him, and no one supported him.

"Xier, do you think I can control my own life?" His voice was muffled and a little bewildered.

"Mu Mu, you can tell a person's character by looking at him at the age of three. Before you were five, you were loved by your parents, so you have good intentions in your heart." She held his face, tracing his sharp sword-like eyebrows with her fingertips, and there was unquestionable affirmation in her eyes.

"At seven years old, you can tell a person's future. You saw the darkness of human nature for the first time, and fell into the trough of life too early. You tempered your resilience with kindness, which in itself is a persistent and arduous task."

Her eyes were bright. "I'm sorry that I wasn't with you in the first half of my life, but the second half..." She stopped talking halfway.

Mu Lanxun felt relieved. He took her hand and placed it on his lips, pecking it gently. His voice was hoarse, "What about the rest of my life?"

Feng Xili leaned close to his ear and said firmly: "For the rest of my life, if you don't leave me, I won't abandon you."

The next moment, Mu Lanxun choked her breath. Her heart skipped a beat and she wanted to push him away but couldn't.

Uh... the arms around her were shaking. Mu Mu was too excited. Would she say something too sentimental?

"Okay, Xier, keep your word!" He suddenly realized that he was a little rude, so he immediately kept some distance. After such a long time, he finally felt relieved.

"After I sort out the issues in Xilin and the surrounding areas, we'll go back."

Mu Lanxun is, after all, a hostage of another country. He can contribute his strength, but he cannot have any ideas. He still has to stay somewhere honestly.

"Axun, I won't go back for now." Feng Xili frowned and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

It’s a familiar pattern indeed!

The smile in his eyes froze in an instant, "You want to stay?"

"Yes, Axun, give me a year. There is something I must do." She bit her lower lip, enduring the sour heat in her eyes.

He lowered his eyes. A year?

Xier and I have only known each other for a year, and now we have to be separated for another year?

"Why?" His voice was a little cold and his eyes were quite disapproving.

"I'm looking for someone. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!" Her voice trembled, but her tone was firm.

Feng Tianxu...

Mu Lanxun was speechless. He was indeed very conflicted about Feng Tianxu. If there was anyone else in this world who was sincere to Xier besides himself, Feng Tianxu would definitely not be considered.

If Xier had not chosen him early on, his conditions would actually not be much better than those of the Prime Minister's legitimate son.

Feng Tianxu also risked his life to save Xier. Although he made a mistake this time and dragged Xier into the crisis of Zechun City, Feng Tianxu still deserves credit for the fact that Zechun was able to escape this disaster with such little damage.

"Huh..." He sighed deeply, unable to say no.

"How are you going to find it?" he compromised.

For Xier, for Feng Xiang, and for Feng Tianxu.

"I plan to spend a month exploring each of the eleven cities in the northwest. Firstly, I'll be away from Ya'an City so people won't be constantly watching me. Secondly, I can see the beauty of the borderlands and change my mood. Thirdly..."

She took one of his fingers and rubbed his fingertips, smiling slyly, "Just think of it as a test for you and me. Can you stay with me? Can I stay with you?"

As expected! She had just spoken her heart so boldly, and she was also certain that her love for her had not changed.

Mu Lanxun was speechless, having been eaten to death.

"But you're here alone..." He was still a little worried.

Feng Xili raised her head, her eyes curved into two crescents. "Don't worry, I won't reveal my identity. Besides, the ghost doctor strengthened my physique, and I'm in good health now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have woken up so quickly this time. You can all see it."

Speaking of this, he really found it unbelievable. Not long ago, he was so desperate that he wanted to destroy this place.

However, not long after, his Xier not only woke up, but also insisted on "never leaving" him, which made it feel like a dream.

He maintained it carefully, fearing that when he opened his eyes again, his Xier would still be lying there with a weak breath, and he would be helpless.

He shook his head and laughed, pushing all the things that could not be explained onto the ghost doctor, the predicted things onto Ye Xing, and even the vision of the corpse coming back to life onto Ye Xing. I wonder if the old man would be so angry when he knew it?

"Okay." Mu Lanxun finally let go, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Feng Xili felt a pain in her heart when she saw this, and she stuffed her entire hand into his palm. Their fingers were interlocked, and the gaps between their fingers were filled with fine touch.

"Xier, I hope you understand that I agreed to let you stay because I believe you can take care of yourself, right?" He smiled a little creepy.

"So, I'll leave Yuanri to you to command, is that okay?" He changed the subject and sent his close confidant out.

……

Feng Xili laughed angrily, is this what you meant by "trust me"?

"Of course no problem, as long as Yuanri has no objection." She agreed readily.

"He has no objection." He glanced at her and answered affirmatively.

Very good, both of them tacitly took a step back.

Feng Xili spent almost the rest of the days following Mu Lanxun. The two of them discussed things with each other, and with her occasional predictions, even some hidden forces around Xilin were quietly eradicated.

After all, the mission was successfully completed. Feng Xiang returned to the capital to report on his work and secretly left some people in Zechun City, hoping that these people could find the rebellious son.

He learned from Emperor Qi Zhao that Feng Xili had sent someone back to report earlier, and it was Feng Tianxu who accidentally learned that Zechun City was in trouble. In order not to alert the enemy, he staged a play with the county magistrate and secretly investigated, which saved Zechun City from danger.

Therefore, Feng Tianxu's crime of secretly kidnapping the princess was downplayed and he became a meritorious official.

But others may not know the twists and turns involved, but Emperor Qi Zhao and Feng Xiang are clear about it.

Feng Linshang gradually let go of his feelings and stopped getting involved in court affairs.

However, this is all a story for another day.

It is understandable that Feng Xiang became silent after losing his beloved son.

But the strange thing was the Prime Minister's wife. She went out frequently to attend various parties and got along very well with the ladies and young ladies of various families. She didn't look like someone who had lost her own son at all.

However, in the dark night, unknown to anyone, the Prime Minister's wife Ning Nianqiao was holding a small doll in her hand.

Her eyes were wild as she slashed the puppet with a knife, muttering, "I'll stab you to death! I'll stab you to death! You'll lead my Tianxu astray! I'll stab you to death!"
