When the door to the secret room opened again, it was already completely dark. There was no one outside, only two sets of dry clothes placed at the entrance.

Murong Yan blushed, and belatedly realized she was a little embarrassed. But with an even more shy man behind her, she didn't think it was a big deal.

She picked up her clothes and returned to the secret room, handing the men's suit to Shen Mu: "Change your clothes and come back with me."

The man pursed his lips, said nothing, changed his clothes obediently, and followed her all the way back to the courtyard in the north of the city.

At night, the two of them slept in each other's arms, neither of them could fall asleep.

Murong Yan thought about it and still felt that there were some things she had to say: "A few days ago, I was attacked and almost raped, but you didn't show up. As soon as Fu Jiuli was in danger, you showed up quickly."

Hearing the jealousy in the woman's tone, Shen Mu hugged the woman tightly in his arms: "I showed up that day. But I promised Shen Yan that I would never show up unless Fu Jiuli's life was in danger."

"Also, I thought you were with him at that time... That's why I didn't show up, but I gave all my strength to Shen Yan..."

Murong Yan finally felt relieved. She snuggled in his arms and asked him, "How did you become Fu Jiuli's master? Why is his safety so important to you?"

Shen Mu was silent for a moment, and then told her his past experiences in detail.

"I think you already know my identity. I was born in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion. I am a twin with Shen Yuan. This is unlucky in North Vietnam. To protect me, my mother sent me to the manor. But I was unlucky and met a group of evil slaves..."

"You probably know what happened later. I was timid and cowardly, so Shen Yan showed up and took it all on for me. If it weren't for him, I would have died on the farm long ago. So he saved my life."

"Later, when I grew up, I took advantage of the time when no one in the village was paying attention and escaped. But I also knew that with a face like Shen Yuan, I couldn't stay in North Vietnam, so I fled to Xining..."

"I finally made it to Xining. I had already used up all my money and could only beg for a living. But I didn't know that begging also has its own territory. Because I occupied another beggar's territory, they beat me up and I was almost beaten to death..."

"Just when I was dying and thought I was doomed, the Empress of Xining passed by. She saved me and made me a guard by her side. She also asked the most powerful leader of the Phoenix Guards to take me in as his disciple and teach me martial arts..."

Murong Yan burst into tears: "And then?"

Shen Mu thought she was just worried about what happened to her, so he gently kissed her tears dry: "It's okay, it's all over."

His eyes gradually deepened, tinged with a blood-red. "Later, Queen Xining was framed and executed. The group did not even spare her four-year-old child, wanting to burn them to death."

"When the queen was in danger, she sent a few of her confidants to escape through the secret passage with her children. The Phoenix Guards and I fought desperately to rescue the queen, but she said she didn't want to live anymore..."

"She committed suicide. Before she died, she told my master to find the child and protect him for life. She also told him not to tell the child the truth. She just wanted him to live a free life."

"Master and I fled, but we were eventually caught up by that group of people. Although we escaped at all costs, Master was seriously injured. Before he died, he passed all his skills to me and told me to find the child..."

Shen Mu paused: "Fu Jiuli is that child."

There were some words hidden deep in my heart that I had never told anyone, but now that I had poured them out, I surprisingly felt much better.

At this moment, he discovered that the woman in his arms was already in tears, and the front of his shirt was already wet with tears.

Shen Mu touched her head and said with a smile: "I'm not crying, why are you crying?"

Murong Yan's eyes were red: "Do you know what the Queen of Xining is called?"

Shen Mu was stunned for a moment: "Murong Lanruo." He knew this.

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Murong Yan in astonishment: "She and you..."

"She is my sister, my only biological sister. Fu Jiuli is my nephew, my sister's only blood relative in this world..." Murong Yan could no longer hold back her sobs.

Shen Mu fell silent, and sighed for a long time: "I'm sorry, when I found him, he had already entered the palace..."

"If I had found him six months earlier, he wouldn't have..."

"But now that he is in this situation, holding great power and deeply trusted by the North Vietnamese emperor, staying in North Vietnam is the best option."

"Now I'm married, but... I can't have children."

The two of them talked for a long time, and finally Murong Yan fell asleep in his arms while crying.

Shen Mu hugged the woman in his arms tightly and rested his chin on her head.

She was too tired, so he would find a chance to talk to her tomorrow about returning her body to Shen Yan.

-

Leaving the palace.

Fu Jiu left for a while in the secret room. The door was still closed, and he couldn't hear any sound from inside. But since they hadn't come out in such a long time, he guessed that the person inside probably needed two sets of dry clothes. He went back to get them, put them down, and left.

He returned to his bedroom and slept with his wife in his arms.

Since getting married, he has not handled any official business and has left it all to Leng Ye, who will take care of it.

How can it be better to handle official business than to be with your wife?

As dusk approached, Shen Nanxing woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was met with a magnified handsome face.

Fu Jiuli was kissing her secretly again.

Shen Nanxing naturally put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. After they kissed for a while, the man's hands became restless again and slipped into her clothes, causing a shudder wherever they passed.

She got angry, pushed him away with both hands, and accused him: "Fu Jiuli!"

Fu Jiuli was pushed away and kissed the top of her head again: "Madam, I'm here."

"Take your hand out!" Shen Nanxing glared at him angrily.

Ever since their first marriage, this man has been like a genius, sticking to her all day long and acting like a hooligan anytime and anywhere.

"Oh." Fu Jiuli took his hand out obediently, but his deep black eyes were filled with grievance, and he looked at his wife with grievance.

Shen Nanxing: ...

It was this kind of look. Whenever he looked at her with this look, she would be defeated by him every time.

She turned away from him and asked, "Have you finished your work today?"

"I'm done." Fu Jiuli said calmly.

Shen Nanxing frowned: "When did you do it? How come I don't know?"

Fu Jiuli kissed her between the eyebrows lovingly: "When you sleep."

Shen Nanxing:!!!

She sleeps so much every day, spending more time in bed than out of bed. Who is to blame for this?
