Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

Li Mofu looked at Zhao Xu with a sense of melancholy. This melancholy was not only because Zhao Xu was leaving the capital, but also because they had lost another helper. The capital was so complicated and chaotic now, and Zhao Xu was one of the few friends they knew in the palace, and now he was leaving too.

"By the way, Li Mofu, I'm giving this back to you. I can't use it and I won't need it in the future." Zhao Xu remembered something and took out a handkerchief from his arms. When he opened it, he found the unknown seeds that Li Mofu had given him before.

Li Mofu was stunned for a moment, then nodded woodenly and took it, "Then have a safe trip."

"Don't worry, you won't leave so soon. You can come and play with me in the next two days." Zhao Xu said in a relaxed tone.

The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Zhao Xu stood up to leave. Lu Mingyun and Li Mofu said something and went to see Zhao Xu off.

After Lu Mingyun and Zhao Xu left, Li Mofu sat alone at the table in the hall in a daze. He felt a little chest tightness, as if something was blocking his chest, making him uncomfortable.

Li Mofu went back to the house quickly. The two cats had curled up in the house to sleep at some point. Guozi saw that Li Mofu looked unwell and went to make a cup of soothing hot tea. After drinking it, Li Mofu lay down on the bed but still felt chest tightness.

"Sir, is there something on your mind?" Guozi asked while sitting on the couch.

Li Mofu turned over and lay on his side, looking at Guozi. "Guozi, if something happens in the capital one day, where should I run to?"

Guozi hesitated for a moment, then uttered an "Ah," "Sir, don't overthink it. Even if something happens in the capital, the Marquis will protect us."

"This is not what if, where should we escape to then?" Li Mofu said,

Guozi put his hands in his sleeves and smiled bitterly, "Sir, forget it. If even the Marquis can't protect us, we won't be able to escape the capital on our own."

This sentence immediately broke down Li Mofu's defense. As long as Marquis Wu'an was in the mansion, there would be no problem. Even if Marquis Wu'an was not there, Lu Mingyun could still hold out a little.

The border is in turmoil. What if Wu'an Hou and Lu Mingyun both go there? What if Lu Fengning also goes there? Wouldn't the entire mansion be left unprotected?

If something happened at this time, how would they escape? Where would they run to? Would they be able to escape?

The family members who stayed in the capital were like the ropes that kept the soldiers on the frontiers safe. If everything went well, it would be fine. But if things didn't go well or if there was a rebellion...

But even if Marquis Wu'an and the Lu brothers were loyal and had no ulterior motives, given the emperor and the prince's current obsession with refining medicine, he really found it hard to believe that they would not take action against Marquis Wu'an's mansion.

By then, both he and Wang Ruiyan will be in danger!

Li Mofu closed his eyes and turned over to lie flat. The more he thought about it, the more suffocated he felt. "What should I do, Guozi? If I had known earlier, I would have insisted on not returning to the capital. Do you think it's too late for me to go back to Su County now?"

Guozi frowned slightly in confusion. He didn't understand what Li Mofu was afraid of, but he still comforted him, "It's okay, sir. If anything happens to the Marquis' Mansion, I will definitely risk my life to protect you."

"..." Li Mofu opened his eyes and looked at the young man on the couch who was only growing taller but not fatter. "Forget it, with your small body, you should protect yourself."

Guozi smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me, I'm very strong."

Li Mofu felt inexplicably happy and laughed twice, and the stuffiness in his chest dissipated.

After a while, Lu Mingyun, who had sent Zhao Xu away, came back. He told Li Mofu that Zhao Xu's insistence on going to Jiangnan was probably due to Duke Zhao's instructions before his death. Li Mofu saw that Lu Mingyun's eyes were not right when he said this, so he asked Lu Mingyun what he thought.

Lu Mingyun told him that Duke Zhao was most likely asking Zhao Xu to support the third prince.

At this time, Li Mofu remembered that there was a third prince in Jiangnan.

The next day, Lu Mingyun and Li Mofu originally planned to have dinner with Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng. After all, Zhao Xu was about to leave the capital, and the opportunities for them to get together were becoming fewer and fewer.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Zheng came by himself.

"I was just about to look for you and Zhao Xu, but I didn't expect you to come!" Lu Mingyun said with some surprise when he saw Zuo Zheng.

Zuo Zheng looked at them with a smile, holding something in his hand. After the maid who brought him in left, he said, "I know you were going to look for me, but after thinking about it, it's more appropriate for me to come find you."

"Why?" Lu Mingyun asked curiously.

Zuo Zheng placed the things on the table, plopped down and said, "Isn't it almost your birthday? I can't come this year, so I have to come in person to give you the gift anyway."

"You're not coming either?" Li Mofu was a little surprised.

Zuo Zheng nodded helplessly. Lu Mingyun hesitated and asked, "Are you leaving the capital too?"

"Well, my father asked me to accompany Zhao Xu to Jiangnan." Zuo Zheng said, putting away his smile.

Lu Mingyun frowned, "...your father is..."

Seeing his expression, Zuo Zheng laughed again. "My father owed Duke Zhao a big favor. It's too dangerous to go to Jiangnan in the middle of winter, so he asked me to go with Zhao Xu."

"Does Zhao Xu know?" Li Mofu asked.

"Of course. My father took me to Duke Zhao's mansion yesterday to talk to him. Now we are brothers in distress again!" Zuo Zheng said with a smile.

Li Mofu pursed his lips. If Duke Zhao really supported the Third Prince, then Minister Zuo's asking Zuo Zheng to accompany Zhao Xu didn't mean that he also supported the Third Prince, and he also hated the current situation where the Emperor and the Crown Prince were so obsessed with refining medicine?

However, Zhao Xu openly said that he didn't want to stay in the capital and miss his family, and wanted to go to Jiangnan to make a name for himself, so Zuo Zheng was at most a lackey.

"...Okay, be careful on the road," Lu Mingyun patted Zuo Zheng's shoulder and said, "Let's go and have dinner with Zhao Xu."

At this point, we can only hope that everything goes well for them.
