Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Lingyan understood Jiang Muxue's sadness very well at this moment.

Even though she no longer liked him, he had been a part of her life for eight years.

Moreover, he was the only person in her life for the past eight years.

So it's not something you can forget just by wanting to.

How could she possibly be as calm as she appeared?

Lingyan then looked at the five people and said, "You all step back a bit, step back a bit further away. We girls have something to say to each other that we can't let you hear."

Upon hearing this, the five people obediently turned and walked away.

Anyway, there's no danger this time.

Besides, Jiang Muxue's martial arts skills are more than enough to protect her.

After they had gone quite a distance, Jiang Muxue walked up to her and said with a smile, "You are so insightful and considerate. If I were a man, I would be just like them."

Seeing that she was still trying to hold back her emotions, Lingyan said softly, "I know you're sad and don't want to show it in front of He Jingchuan and the others. Now it's just the two of us, so you don't have to force a smile anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muxue's eyes stung with tears, and her throat tightened with discomfort.

She looked at Lingyan, her eyes blurred, and tears streamed down her face without her realizing it.

Lingyan tenderly wiped away her tears, then helped her sit down and whispered in her arms, "Cry, cry as much as you want, let out all your sadness, grievances and heartbreak, and after you've cried, look up and look forward."

Hearing Ling Yan's gentle words, Jiang Muxue's last line of defense completely collapsed.

She could no longer hold back and collapsed into Lingyan's arms, bursting into tears.

At this moment, her shoulders trembled violently, and a suppressed yet sorrowful cry escaped her throat, like the mournful cry of a wounded animal in the darkness.

Her tears flowed like a burst dam, instantly soaking Lingyan's clothes.

The cries were heart-wrenching, and her hands were tightly clutching Lingyan's clothes.

At this moment, she had no scruples and simply let herself immerse in this torrent of catharsis, releasing all her negative emotions to the fullest.

Soon after, when she finally stopped crying and slowly raised her head, her previously red and swollen eyes now revealed a different kind of brightness.

She took a deep breath, the breath seemingly carrying the power of new life, filling her entire chest.

Jiang Muxue then gently wiped away the remaining tear stains on her face, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

That smile was like the sunshine after the rain, warm and bright, carefree and relieved.

She stretched her body, and her previously tense muscles relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Every movement seemed so light and free, like a bird that had regained its freedom.

She then stood up, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair. She squinted her eyes slightly, savoring this moment of peace and comfort.

Her smile grew even brighter, a joy that radiated from the bottom of her heart, undisguised and unreserved.

Then Jiang Muxue twirled gracefully, her skirt fluttering in the wind, like a fairy dancing.

Her laughter was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, echoing in the air.

"I feel like I've been reborn," Jiang Muxue said loudly, her voice full of energy and joy.

She opened her arms to embrace the gentle breeze, her smile even more radiant—a farewell to the past and an infinite anticipation for the future.

At this moment, she exuded an aura of ease and comfort.

It was as if all the troubles had vanished, leaving only a pure and hopeful heart.

Then she slowly walked up to Lingyan and sat down next to her, saying, "I plan to go back to the frontier tomorrow. I never liked the capital. I only stayed here for He Jingchuan. Now I don't like him anymore. Without that reason, nothing can bind me anymore. You're right. I am not a fledgling swallow but an eagle. Naturally, I should return to my vast world."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yan frowned and asked, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang Muxue smiled with longing and nostalgia in her eyes: "I have been away from the place I love for eight years and wasted eight years of my life. I don't want to wait any longer. I'm saying goodbye to you today. Don't come to see me off tomorrow. I will keep your secret and never reveal a word. We will meet again in the future."

Lingyan looked at her upon hearing this and found that she was all smiles and seemed relaxed and happy when the topic was brought up.

And she was right, we really shouldn't waste any more.

So Lingyan didn't try to stop her, but instead smiled and offered her her best wishes: "Then I wish you a journey where you soar like a roc, rising high to great heights, and that you will one day ride the wind and waves to cross the vast ocean."

She knew that her return was not just to the frontier, but to join the battle and achieve great things.

Then she looked at her and sincerely wished her well, saying, "I look forward to the day when you become a female general and a female war goddess."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muxue's eyes reddened, and she gazed at her firmly, replying, "I will certainly not let you down."

………………

Lingyan received news at noon the next day that Jiang Muxue had left the capital early that morning.

Yesterday, I also made a special trip to say goodbye to the three princesses and Xie Zhiyi.

Today, I left in a carefree and decisive manner.

Lingyan sincerely wished her in her heart: May your journey be as boundless as the sea where fish can leap and as high as the sky where birds can fly.

The phoenix soars and cries in the nine heavens, its fame resounds throughout the four seas and shines like stars.

Just after she finished offering her wishes, Ying Shuang came to report that Mu Hai was outside requesting an audience.

Mu Hai and Mu Feng are both top-notch secret guards in the mansion and are Xiao Muyao's right-hand men.

The two were not only of similar status, but also of similar abilities.

Of course, sincerity is equally valuable.

She wondered what he wanted to see her about at this time, because usually she would relay any matters to Ying Shuang and Ying Die.

When Mu Hai stepped into the room, Ling Yan saw a Mu Hai who was completely different from usual.

Although he was dressed in black at this moment, he did not have his usual cold and ruthless demeanor.

Instead, he looked uneasy and appeared nervous and flustered.

Most importantly, he actually blushed furiously.

Even her neck and ears turned bright red.

Dude, you've completely ruined your image, you know that?

Is this still the same cold-blooded, ruthless, and shrewd imperial guard who murdered the emperor's dignity?

However, seeing his appearance, Lingyan understood why he had come to see her.

This is something!

At this moment, Mu Hai stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Ling Yan.

Then he lowered his head, blushed, and stammered, "Your Highness, I admire...Miss Yunmeng. Please, Your Highness, give her up."

What? You like Yunmeng?

She had just thought it was Ying Shuang or Ying Die, which was why they came to ask her for permission.

After all, Ying Shuang and Ying Die are now her people.

But was it actually Yunmeng that he liked?

Yunmeng is indeed quite likable.

So, without revealing her emotions, she simply asked in a calm voice, "Oh? What do you like about Yunmeng?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Hai smiled sweetly and replied in a low voice, "I think she is wonderful in every way. She is beautiful, her smile is beautiful, her personality is also very good, she is kind but also ruthless, and her abilities are outstanding. It is very comfortable to be with her. I feel happy just looking at her, and I wish I could look at her like this for the rest of my life."

Ling Yan was speechless upon hearing this.

What does it mean to be both kind and ruthless?

But she understood what he meant.

This means that Yunmeng is kind, but not a saint, and she can be ruthless when necessary, and she is not weak or easily bullied.

Looking at Mu Hai's eyes and expression below, Ling Yan realized that he genuinely liked Yun Meng.

He was very sincere; he came to ask her for her blessing with all his heart.

Whether they can be together or not depends on Yunmeng's own decision.

Lingyan then looked at Mu Hai and replied, "Yunmeng and I grew up together and have a very close relationship. Therefore, I am unwilling to force her as her master. I want her to make her own decision. If she is willing, I will grant you this happy occasion. But if she is not willing, you must not bother her anymore, and you must not resent her. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Hai's heart tightened, and he immediately replied respectfully and firmly, "Your subordinate understands!"
