Mu Junhan and An Lingge were embracing by the lake, and their intimate relationship made An Lingxue, who was hiding at the side and peeking at the lake from the sidelines, red in the eyes.

She was a little stuffy today, so she casually strolled around. Who would have thought that she would actually see Hereditary Prince Mu's figure?

Before she could finish tidying up her makeup, she saw Hereditary Prince Mu walking towards her.

This woman truly did not know shame. The emperor had clearly already ordered her marriage with Hereditary Prince Mu to be annulled, yet she dared to meet Hereditary Prince Mu in the academy in private, even giving her a hug without any of the usual etiquette.

This hypocritical woman!

An Lingxue was both jealous and unfair, she couldn't help but reach out and break a thin and long willow branch in front of him.

Mu Junhan detected this subtle sound and immediately looked over. A pair of phoenix eyes flashed with a sharp light, causing An Lingxue to immediately move sideways in fright, hiding herself behind the tree trunk.

However, what she didn't know was that the wind had long since caught sight of her clothes.

Just as Mu Junhan was about to walk in her direction, he pulled him back and shook his head.

"It's the Second Sister."

Their second and third branch of Prince An's Palace had already returned to the capital for a period of time, so Mu Junhan naturally knew that the Second Sister An Lingge was currently speaking of wasn't the original An Lingyi, but was actually the An Lingxue of the third house.

He nodded his head slightly and put away the heartguard mirror. Then, he took out something from his bosom.

It was a black whistle, just like the one he had given to An Lingge.

"While I'm not in the capital, if anything happens to you, you can blow this whistle and Dark Guard will come to help you."

An Lingge's expression changed, "You went to such a dangerous place like Mo Bei, shouldn't you bring all of your Dark Guard with you?"

The more you fought on the battlefield, the more your swords would be blind.

The most fundamental mission of Dark Guard was to protect Master's safety. If Mu Junhan left his Dark Guard in the capital, then wouldn't it be too dangerous for him to be alone in the Mo Bei?

An Lingge pursed her lips, disapproval written all over her face.

Mu Junhan looked down at her, the gorgeous young lady was only fifteen years old, and his face had a peerless beauty, which could be seen from his expression. At this time, she was frowning, his eyes filled with worry, lightening the beauty by a bit, and adding a bit of the normal air of a person.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. He still had an extraordinary elegance that would make people blush and beat their hearts, "Naturally, I will bring some Dark Guard with me. However, I will also leave a portion of it in the capital."

Seeing that An Lingge still wanted to advise him, he continued, "The Mo Bei is not comparable to the capital, it is extremely sparsely populated, other than the soldiers, there are almost no other people there. If the entire Dark Guard were to follow me to the Mo Bei, it would be extremely easy for it to attract the attention of the emperor, and might even disrupt my plans. "

Although he said that, his safety was also very important.

An Lingge's pair of deep black bright eyes had a rare look of worry in them, she opened her mouth, "Then how many Dark Guard did you bring with you to the Mo Bei?"

"Two." Mu Junhan took out two fingers and was shocked at the number.

Why did he only bring two Dark Guard s to the Mo Bei, and leave the rest of them in the capital?

An Lingge became even more worried, "You left almost all of your Dark Guard in the capital?"

"News from the capital must not be cut off, so there must be Dark Guard left in the capital, so that the movements of the emperor within the imperial city can be transmitted to the Mo Bei." There must be news from the imperial city, so there must be Dark Guard left in the imperial city, so that there must be someone to protect you. Mu Junhan explained the reasons one by one, but he actually had no way to refute them.

"I do not need Dark Guard, take those Dark Guard with you." She raised her eyes to look at Mu Junhan, and her bright black eyes clearly reflected the tall and slender figure of a man.

Mu Junhan's heart became softer, and the gentleness in his phoenix eyes grew thicker. "That aunt of yours and his few younger sisters aren't easy to deal with, I can only be at ease with the Dark Guard by your side."

"Think about it, if your Dark Guard isn't by your side, then I would have been thinking about whether or not you ate well and slept soundly, whether or not you were bullied by those aunts and sisters, whether or not some young master is coveting my future wife …"

The more he said, the more ridiculous he became. An Lingge gouged him with a knife and caused him to shut his mouth.

However, she could also tell that Mu Junhan would not change his mind so easily, so she decided not to try to persuade him anymore.

Returning back to the academy, An Lingge saw An Lingxue giving him a meaningful smile.

She raised her eyebrows as if nothing had happened and returned to her seat.

Before the teacher arrived, An Lingxue said to An Lingge, "Big sister, I was by the lake just now and I seemed to have seen you talking to a man."

Although the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were more open-minded, they still paid attention to the difference between males and females. They also strictly set different seats for males and females at the age of seven.

Now that An Lingxue had said these words, it meant that An Lingge was secretly meeting up with a man behind everyone's backs.

An Lingge knew that she was deliberately concealing Mu Junhan's identity so that everyone would know that she was someone who was in cahoots with others.

If the news that the emperor ordered her to break the engagement with another man were to spread out, it was likely that everyone in the capital would be able to drown her with a single spit.

The girls in the academy were all around the same age, the most lively, and also the most gossipy. Now that they heard An Lingxue's extremely leading words, almost all of them became interested as they perked up their ears to listen to their conversation.

An Lingyi noticed that everyone looked at him with disdainful eyes, and couldn't help but to smile maliciously at the side.

Back then, when she failed to scheme for An Lingge, she had instead made herself look coquettish, getting despised and ridiculed by others. Now, it was time for An Lingge to have a taste of this.

Just as she was snickering, An Lingge suddenly spoke up, "Yeah, I just spoke a few words with Junge. He's still young after all, and I can't rest easy for him."

Since An Lingxue wanted to hide Mu Junhan's identity, then An Lingge would do as she said, ignoring Mu Junhan and speaking of him as An Lingjun.

She was lying without blinking, but everyone looked like they believed it, causing An Lingxue to feel as if she had eaten a fly. She only felt like she couldn't spit it out at all and couldn't swallow it.

After a long while, An Lingxue finally squeezed out an ugly smile, "But looking at that man's figure, she doesn't seem to be Junge."

She purposely wanted everyone to misunderstand that An Lingge was up to something, so she intentionally guided the crowd towards the other men, without mentioning who it was.

How could An Lingge not understand her thoughts? However, An Lingge could easily figure out a solution to this trick.

She curled her lips, smiled gently and generously, "Then who does Third Sister think it was?"
