Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

For the first time, Mu Xue cried out aloud, screaming in her sleep, "Flying Eagle, Wild Leopard, don't go! Don't go..."

In her dream, Mu Xue screamed and cried, while Mu Xue lying in bed was also sobbing.

The crying woke up Susu, who was dozing off nearby. She hurriedly grabbed a handkerchief and wiped Muxue's face in a panic.

These past few days, while suppressing the poison for Ye Shangyuan, her already thin face has become even more emaciated.

Su Su assumed that Mu Xue was crying in her dream because she was sick and feeling unwell.

She said with concern, "Miss, it's alright, it's alright. You'll feel better soon after taking the medicine."

Su Su got up in a hurry, and the drum stool made a creaking sound, which was quite jarring.

She didn't hear clearly the names Mu Xue was murmuring.

The noise didn't wake Mu Xue in bed, but it was heard by Ye Shangyuan next door.

He was about to get up when he heard a sound. Thinking something had happened, he didn't care and quickly walked to Mu Xue's room, pushed the door open, and went inside.

He happened to hear Mu Xue talking incoherently, but he was too far away to hear clearly. His eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly walked to the bedside.

At this moment, Mu Xue twisted her body restlessly, muttering a name. This time, Ye Shangyuan clearly heard an unfamiliar name: Yingwu.

The name that Mu Xue cries out in her sleep must belong to someone very special to her.

Thinking of this, Ye Shangyuan's face immediately darkened.

Su Su instantly felt the oppressive atmosphere around her, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Ye Shangyuan sat down by the bed, took Mu Xue's hand, gently pressed her body down, and coaxed her in her ear, "It's alright, it's alright. I'm here, I'm right beside you."

Whether it was his words that had an effect, or the scene in Mu Xue's dream that changed, she actually calmed down slowly.

Ye Shangyuan naturally picked up the handkerchief that Su Su had just tossed aside on the pillow and gently wiped the sweat from Mu Xue's face, tidying her disheveled hair.

Su Su stood to one side, not daring to make a sound.

She suddenly felt a warm feeling about this scene, as if it should be like this.

Although she had never seen Ye Shangyuan's face and didn't know what he looked like, she felt that his demeanor and bearing were a good match for her young lady.

SuSu, standing to the side, couldn't help but fantasize about MuMu and YeShangYuan.

Mu Xue never imagined that she and Ye Shangyuan would have their first CP fan so early.

Ye Shangyuan held Mu Xue's hand and stayed with her until dusk. If Leng Quan hadn't come looking for him, Ye Shangyuan would have stayed with Mu Xue indefinitely.

Leng Quan quietly walked to the bedside. Ye Shangyuan held Mu Xue's hand in one hand and propped his head up with the other, closing his eyes to rest. Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes and looked at the person who came.

Leng Quan hurriedly whispered his purpose.

"My lord, a letter has arrived from the capital. The young marquis requests your immediate return to the capital," Leng Quan said.

Ye Shangyuan released Mu Xue's hand, tucked the blanket around her, got up and took a few steps before speaking, "Did you say what it's about?"

The two walked into the courtyard.

Leng Quan spoke up: "It's the Minister of War who's in trouble."

"Oh?" Ye Shangyuan asked, puzzled.

Minister of War Chen Gong only took office last year. He is very capable and his subordinates are well-behaved. He is also a member of the Wing King's faction. With the Wing King protecting him, what could possibly happen to him?

Leng Quan then reported: "The news from Fei He Liu Hua is that Minister of War Chen Gong was assassinated three nights ago. He was slightly injured, but his wife and son are dead."

"The capital is in a state of panic. All the ministers have submitted memorials requesting the Regent to investigate this matter thoroughly," Leng Quan continued.

He added, "The Minister of War has already knelt in the Imperial Study, begging the Emperor to make a decision. He's been kneeling for two days now."

Ye Shangyuan snorted coldly and said, "He's just trying to attract attention. Let him kneel if he wants to."

"Tell Shen Ji to keep an eye on that kid Ye Chenyu and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble," Ye Shangyuan said.

"Yes." In the entire Western Jade Kingdom, only their prince dared to address the emperor by his given name.

Leng Quan looked at Ye Shangyuan, hesitant to speak.

Seeing that Leng Quan was still standing there, Ye Shangyuan asked, "Is there anything else?"

Leng Quan asked hesitantly, "Does Master have feelings for Miss Xue?"

Ye Shangyuan was taken aback. He glanced at Leng Quan and said coldly, "What, nothing else to do?"

"Yes, I'll get right away!" As soon as Leng Quan saw that Ye Shangyuan's expression was off, he immediately rushed off.

I am so surprised!

I just saw that the prince was always by Mu Xue's side, and I was thinking of reminding him that Mu Xue is engaged.

The question was cut short by the prince before it could even be asked.

Could it be that they've misunderstood? Does the Prince truly treat Mu Xue like a younger sister?

He remembered that he and Ye San had been gossiping together just last night.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw Ye San walking over angrily.

"Three, what's wrong?" Leng Quan asked curiously.

"Damn it, the Jingwang Mansion is a bunch of scoundrels. I'm going to find the Prince first." Ye San said halfway through her sentence, then rushed off to find Ye Shangyuan.

"Your Highness, I have received news that the Jing Prince's Mansion has proposed to dissolve the engagement with Miss Mu," Ye San said angrily.

In the Western Jade Kingdom, it is very difficult for a woman who has been jilted to find a husband again.

This Prince Jing's mansion is utterly despicable; how can a little girl possibly gain a foothold in this Western Jade Kingdom?

The thought of Mu Xue being kicked out of the Mu family made him even angrier.

He then added, "General Mu personally went to the Treasure Pavilion to inquire about the ancient medicine."

When Ye Shangyuan heard that the Jingwang Mansion was proposing to dissolve the engagement, he was overjoyed, but then he remembered the name Mu Xue had called out earlier, and he calmed down.

He said to Ye San, "Let Mu Mu decide the matters of the Mu family herself, but the actions of the Prince Jing's Mansion are indeed a bit excessive."

"That's right, how could they treat such a good girl like Miss Mu like this?" Ye San said, feeling indignant on behalf of Mu Xueming.

"It's time to investigate the Prince Jing's residence. If Mu Mu also intends to break off the engagement, then we should help her out," Ye Shangyuan said after a moment's thought.

Ye San was taken aback, but then he realized that with the Regent Prince around, how could Mu Xue be allowed to suffer any injustice?

There are plenty of fine men in the capital. With the Regent's Mansion as her backing, is Mu Xue worried about not finding a husband? Besides, isn't there her own prince waiting to marry her? Ye San thought to herself with a smug smile.

While Mu Xue's area was quiet, the Treasure Pavilion was anything but.

Having waited in vain for news of the ancient physician, Mu Qinghe personally came to the Treasure Pavilion.

When Liu Ming saw Mu Qing and him enter, he frowned slightly, then immediately put on a smile and went to greet them.

"Oh my, General, why did you come in person? You could have just sent someone to deliver your message!" Liu Ming said with a smile.

"Hmph, I didn't receive any news while I was at home. I suppose Manager Liu is too busy and has forgotten about the Mu family for a moment!" Mu Qinghe said in a cold tone.

"Look at what the General is saying. Come, come, please come inside and have a seat." Liu Ming gestured and bowed to lead the way.

"Manager Liu, you'd better give me a straight answer, or I'll go directly to your master," Mu Qinghe threatened.
