Su Mianyue, on the other hand, had a dull look on her face. During this period, she had always felt that she had overlooked something, but now she was trying to figure out the key.
"Yu, listen to me. Whether it's for our little family or for the good of our country, I can't stay out of this." With his soft fingers on Ji Xun's lips, Su Mianyue chuckled and said, "I know what you're worried about, but the only thing I can promise you is that I will do my best to live and not break my promise to you. We're supposed to travel together, aren't we?"
"No, I can't let you risk your life. It's impossible!" Ji Xun's tone was unquestionable.
"You should know that those people can take Xingran away from the palace, and they can harm Faang Yuanh. Even if we do anything to prevent it, there will still be a lot of danger. It is better for us to change the passive into the active and have a chance of survival." Su Mianyue hugged Ji Xun's waist and looked up at him with a slight smile, "Yu, I know you can't let me take a risk, but if I go alone, I can have less scruples, and if you are safe, I can have more security and more chances of winning."
Ji Xun didn't want to let Su Mianyue go alone, but she knew that Su Mianyue's proposal was the best way.
Once they were in the enemy's sight, many things were inconvenient to do, but Ji Xun could not let Su Mianyue into danger alone.
Su Mianyue did not give Ji Xun a chance to speak. He dragged him down the corridor and sat down on the steps. He leaned against Ji Xun's arm and said, "We don't have much time. I don't know what they will do to Xingran. Even if they won't kill Xingran in order to get my help, Xingran, the Yan Country's reserve monarch, has been with them for too long and is not good for the country. Besides, those people have a lot of ancient elixir formulas in their hands. I'm afraid they'll use xingran to do experiments. Even if it's not the medicine man, it could be something else we can't do."
Ji Xun was speechless. He had thought about Su Mianyue's guess before, but he never dared to express it. He was afraid that his guess would come true.
Sensing Ji Xun's stiff body, Su Mianyue sighed and continued, "Do Yu remember that his parents would rather die than give you a chance to live? Now that Xingran was in trouble, as a mother, I realized my mother's original determination. I would rather use my own life in exchange for Xingran's safety. So was Yu?"
"Yue, I can't lose you." Ji Xun's voice was slightly choked up. Even in those days when he had a deep blood feud, he had never felt so powerless.
"We won't lose each other." Su Mianyue blinked her eyes and forced her tears back. She tried her best to say in a calm voice: "I am the luckiest person in my life to meet you. I am also the most relieved to have a pair of lovely and healthy sons. For the sake of this family, I will not allow anything to happen to myself. Those who want to use me must also be prepared to bear everything."
Ji Xun opened his mouth but did not make a sound, but the hand on Su Mianyue's shoulder clenched slightly.
Although it was a little painful, Su Mianyue didn't show it. He just comforted her, "Don't forget the weapon we're working on. With that thing, I have a chance to win. Besides, Yu won't let me fight alone, will he?"
Ji Xun nodded and looked at Su Mianyue's face, "If we can't get through this crisis safely, I won't live alone."
Su Mianyue wanted to persuade Ji Xun to give up on this idea, but on second thought, he nodded and said, "Okay, our family depends on each other."
Fingers interlocked, and the reflection that appeared on the ground under the moonlight clung tightly together.
Neither of them spoke, and it was not yet time for a specific plan to take action. The so-called harmony between the right person and the right place at the right time, they still needed too many conditions to meet.
It was not until dawn that Ji Xun sent Su Mianyue back to his bedchamber and let Su Mianyue take a nap. When he returned early, he could go to General's Mansion together.
Su Mianyue thought about the reason why Wu Yu' e wanted to find her, so he couldn't sleep well, but he was afraid that he would worry Ji Xun if he went to General's Mansion first. He could only wait for Ji Xun to leave the court and change into his normal clothes early.
After Ji Xun left the morning court, the two of them had some breakfast and headed for General's Mansion. The moment they stepped into General's Mansion, Su Mianyue suddenly raised his lips and smiled, "If you have something to say to brother yi, then go to work first. I'll go talk to biwu. I'm afraid this girl is still trying her best."
Ji Xun suddenly realized and nodded at Su Mianyue, "Okay, I'll see you when I'm done."
After squeezing Ji Xun's palm, Su Mianyue went down to look for biwu under the guidance of his servants. Wu Yuqing did not ask any more questions and led Ji Xun to the study.
Biwu lived in a backyard, so wu yuqing didn't put her in her own yard, afraid that it would affect her reputation, but it was also the nearest courtyard to Wu Yuqing.
When su mianyue walked into Biwu's bedroom, she found Biwu lying on the warm couch with a pale face and a line of clear tears hanging on her cheek. It was obvious that she had just cried.
Walking slowly to the warm couch, Su Mianyue said in a low voice, "Don't you feel guilty about torturing yourself and the people who really care about you, Biwu?"
Hearing Su Mianyue's words, Biwu looked up, and the hatred and despair in her eyes were instantly washed away by tears. She was speechless, but her cries were hoarse and heartbreaking.
Originally, she wanted to placate Biwu for a few words, but seeing her like this, Su Mianyue shouted coldly, "Biwu, you said you would be by my side for the rest of your life, and you would always protect me, but now you can't even protect yourself. I, Su Mianyue, am a person who only feels sorry for himself. I, Su Mianyue, disdain to stay by my side. Since you haven't been able to let go for so long, and you still don't want to walk out of that shadow, I'll let you go free in the future. Wherever you want to go, it's up to you. I don't want to see you like this again!"
"Miss!" Biwu called out her old name in a hurry.
Su Mianyue felt another stab in her heart, but she had something to do. She didn't have much time to be by Biwu's side, and she didn't have much time to dispel the devil in her heart.
There was already enough time to give Biwu a cushion. Su Mianyue had no energy to wait any longer. She could not let Biwu hide in hatred and inferiority. It was not only her who suffered, but also Wu Yuqing.
"Biwu, you really disappoint me. It's not because of your loyalty that I have always taken you with me and treated you like a sister. I, Su Mianyue, do not lack servants. I like to see you laugh, I like your perseverance and sunny personality, but look at what you are like now, you torture yourself and Wu Yuqing like this, are you going to drive you and him crazy? Biwu, those who have harmed you deserve to die, but those who love you are not guilty. Why must you stick to the eyes of the world and punish those who are willing to give everything to you with the fault of the bad guys?"
Grabbing Biwu's arm and dragging her to the dresser, Su Mianyue pointed to the disheveled woman in the bronze mirror and asked, "Biwu, how long are you going to stay like this? Do you have to force all of us to the corner and spend the whole day lamenting with you to satisfy yourself? You are an adult. Each of us has our own responsibilities and missions, our own lives and the things we have to take on. No one can share the past for you, and no one has the right to be a stumbling block to your happiness!"
