Holding the script, I want to give up.

"Do you all understand?"

Mu Rongyi whispered a secret plan to the people in the room.

"Understood. We will take the purple fireworks as our command and will never act rashly like last time."

The backbone of that group.

"That's good. I've been out for too long, it's time to go back to the palace. You all hide well."

After Mu Rongyi finished speaking, she left with Xu Bin, leaving the rest of the group to continue their discussion.

"Your Highness, do we really have to launch a palace coup? Can't we just let things take their natural course?"

Xu Bin felt that launching a palace coup would come at a great cost, just like Huangfu Hongxi of Beiji, but their country was strong enough to withstand it, while he feared that their country would be crippled in the end. He thought it best to play it safe, after all, that way there would be the fewest casualties.

"You're still too soft-hearted."

"You know how I've come this far; I've endured so much for so long..."

"Xu Bin, if you don't want to be with me, then you can leave the palace."

"I will give you enough money, so you can settle down anywhere without worry."

"Then you can get married and have children, and you won't have to live such a fearful life with me."

Mu Rongyi stopped and gave him a chance to make a choice.

"Your Highness, you are joking."

"I will not go anywhere; I am willing to follow you to the death."

Xu Bin clasped his hands in a fist salute, knelt on one knee, and said.

"If that's the case, then let's return to the palace."

After Mu Rongyi finished speaking, she used her internal strength to leap onto the wall and scale the eaves, with Xu Bin following behind her.

"Your Highness, is there anything you need?"

When Yue Ai saw that Liu Yunwan was awake, she assumed she needed to use the restroom and went to help her up. But she only turned her head slightly and looked around.

"Where is Your Highness? Has he gone out?"

"Where's Zitong? Is she asleep?"

Liu Yunwan guessed that Mu Rongyi must have gone out of the palace to plot, while Shangguan Zitong was simply too lazy to go and had already rested in her own palace.

"Your Highness, please don't think so much."

"His Highness has simply left the palace."

"The other one must have taken a break."

Are you thirsty? Would you like me to pour you some water?

Yue Ai tucked the blanket around her to prevent her from catching a cold and causing her wound to become infected.

"...Hmm, this is going to be a change of the world."

"I'm not thirsty, just keep me company and talk to me."

Liu Yunwan was somewhat dazed. She had been in this world for so many years, it seemed she had already become one with the novel. But this was a novel she had written herself; how could she not know the ending!

With so few variables, she felt that if the plot had followed the original book, it would have ended long ago. But the sudden appearance of Shangguan Zitong and herself, a person from another world, unlocked different life scripts, but in essence, they all arrived at the same destination.

Based on Shangguan Zitong's claim that she would come looking for her, she must be nearing her end, but Ah Long had said...

Should I help her or not? Liu Yunwan was filled with doubt. But no one could answer her question.

"Your Highness, please speak, I'm listening."

To make it easier to hear her speak, Yue Ai sat down beside her soft couch and listened.

"You've been with me for almost ten years, haven't you!"

"Yes, I was chosen to follow you when you were twelve years old."

"Wow, so much time has passed! Time really flies."

"Your Highness, is something on your mind?"

"No, I was just reminiscing. You still remember back then... Never mind, what's the point of saying these useless things?"

"I know you seem to have a stone weighing on your heart, making it hard for you to breathe."

"I have a lot of things to consider."

"Then you can just choose one thing to do."

"Okay, I understand. You can go now. I want to be alone."

"Yes."

After Yue Ai left, Shangguan Zitong arrived.

"Sister Liu, are you going to...?"

"Need my help?"

Shangguan Zitong pushed her wheelchair with her elbow to Liu Yunwan's soft couch, looking at her expectantly.

"You should focus on healing your injuries first, at least until you can walk again."

"You've taken so long to come see me; I thought you were asleep."

Liu Yunwan had been resting with her eyes closed, but when she saw Shangguan Zitong arrive, she slowly opened her eyes again.

"I came to talk to you because I couldn't sleep."

"Although I am alone now and can't help in any way, I still want to do my part."

"Sister Liu, please take me with you."

Looking at the person lying in bed unable to get out of bed, Shangguan Zitong felt that there was another person in the world who would share a wheelchair with her.

"No, it's not as simple as you think. It's too dangerous. You can't come with us."

"You can talk, but you can't talk about these things. I won't be lenient with you."

Liu Yunwan looked at her calmly and said.

"Oh, my dear sister..."

"Forget it, I won't ask anymore."

Seeing the murderous look in her eyes, Shangguan Zitong felt it was probably inappropriate to continue this topic.

"If you have anything on your mind, you can talk to me about it."

Liu Yunwan couldn't help but laugh when she saw her frightened expression.

"why are you laughing?"

"What worries could I possibly have? I just want to live to be a hundred years old."

Shangguan Zitong wanted to kick Liu Yunwan when she saw her trying not to laugh, but she couldn't get up.

"No, I just thought of something and wanted to laugh."

"Living to be a hundred years old is a bit difficult!"

Liu Yunwan felt that she would be lucky to live to eighty; living to a hundred seemed like a dream.

"Yeah, that's right, I want to sleep with you and protect you."

Shangguan Zitong sighed, indicating that she knew very well that living to be a hundred years old was impossible, but she still wanted to hope for it.

"This is just a soft couch; it can't support the weight of both of us."

Liu Yunwan thought Shangguan Zitong had gone mad.

"That's easy, just have someone carry you back to your bedroom, and we can sleep together!"

Shangguan Zitong's eyes gleamed as she spoke.

"You're sick, go home."

"I'm going to sleep now. Goodbye."

Liu Yunwan indicated that she didn't want to talk to her and simply closed her eyes.

"Okay, then I'm really going."

Shangguan Zitong slowly pushed her wheelchair away like a robot.

......

"Your Highness, are we really going to choose Grain Rain?"

Xu Bin felt it was still too early.

"Yes, go tell the people outside the palace."

"At that time, Shangguan Zitong and the Crown Princess were almost fully recovered and still had the ability to protect themselves."

Mu Rongyi sat at the square table in her bedroom and said.

"And what about the young prince?"

"Aren't ten shadow guards enough to protect her?"

"Stop asking so many questions, get on with your business."

Mu Rongyi felt that Xu Bin had been acting indecisive and indecisive lately, always asking this and that. Had he been influenced by some young girl to be so soft-hearted? He needed to observe Xu Bin's situation more closely.

"Yes."

After Xu Bin finished speaking and bowed, he left, while Mu Rongyi went to visit Liu Yunwan.

"Sister Liu, please get well soon and come with me to go out of the palace to play."

"It's really getting a bit boring in this palace."

"I'm so lonely all by myself."

Shangguan Zitong is the kind of person who can't sit still; whenever she's free, she'll find someone to chat with.

"Isn't it because I'm here to talk to you?"

"Are you still bored? Isn't it better to be a couch potato?"

"Or have you never had this much free time before, and you're not used to being a couch potato?"

Liu Yunwan tilted her head and looked at her with a smile in her eyes.

"No, um... how should I put it... anyway... I can't really explain it."

Shangguan Zitong scratched the back of her head, just about to express what she wanted to say, when Mu Rongyi entered the hall.

"If you can't explain it clearly, then don't say it. Wanwan needs to rest. Stay away from her and don't disturb her."

Mu Rongyi walked to Liu Yunwan's bedside, looked down at Shangguan Zitong and said without any mercy.

Damn it, why do I suddenly find you so annoying? Your mouth is so vicious. Shangguan Zitong thought that if she had a 40-meter laser sword, she would definitely have struck him from a great distance.

"Mind your own business! I'm not your dog, someone you can summon and dismiss at will."

"Are you bored? Why do you care so much?"

Shangguan Zitong rolled her eyes at him.

"She just came to talk to me to relieve her boredom; she didn't bother me at all."

Liu Yunwan felt that Mu Rongyi was inexplicably targeting Shangguan Zitong. Out of a sense of justice, she defended her.

"Wanwan, you weren't like this before."

“Ever since Shangguan Zitong arrived, you have been protecting her in every way, which is unfair.”

Mu Rongyi said unhappily, feeling that Liu Yunwan was too biased towards Shangguan Zitong.

"No, I'm just stating the facts."

"It's because your heart is biased that you see everything in a biased way."

Liu Yunwan felt that Mu Rongyi was being unreasonable at the moment, which gave her a headache.

"Exactly, you're just bored."

"Isn't the human heart inherently biased towards the left?"

"Sister Liu is biased towards me because I am a guest, and you are just her family."

People are always stricter with their family members and gentler with others.

Shangguan Zitong didn't want to be a third wheel and be disliked all the time, so she decided to be a wingman instead.

"Wanwan, I misunderstood you."

Mu Rongyi suddenly realized.

"Hmm...it's good that you know."

Liu Yunwan sighed.
