The woman before him was gentle and quiet, but his bright black eyes were shrouded in an undisputable sorrow. When Mu Junhan looked in, he actually felt as if his heart was pierced, and his heart ached a lot.
"Let's not even talk about whether the plague will break out. Even if there was a plague in the capital some day, the emperor would still be able to deal with it. There are still civil and military officials who are busy. Why did you do this?"
The corner of Mu Junhan's mouth stretched straight as the hand that was holding onto An Lingge's shoulder gradually tightened.
An Lingge was in pain, she frowned and the man immediately calmed down.
"This matter concerns my life and death." An Lingge lowered her gaze, and her long eyelashes drooped, covering the expression in the depths of her eyes.
Mu Junhan could hear the seriousness in her tone, "I have no way of explaining it to you, but the plague will definitely strike, so I have to do my best to save the most people."
She was already dead, and the only reason she got such a chance at rebirth was because of the mercy of the heavens. If she could save those who were infected with the plague in this life, wouldn't that prove that a person's fate could be changed, and that a person's life could also be changed?
She was absolutely, definitely not willing to die at the hands of An Lingyi and her daughter once again!
The black colored waves beneath An Lingge's eyes churned violently, as if they were endless abyss that wanted to swallow everything. Only, when she lowered her head, Mu Junhan did not see the strong hatred in the depths of her eyes.
"I thought you were a smart person." Mu Junhan smirked, self-mockery could be seen in his eyes. "But you put yourself in danger for something that has no basis in it, and you don't think about getting out of the prison, but you're still worried about the plague."
The moment he heard that An Lingge had been imprisoned by the emperor, and that even the empress dowager had no time to visit him, he immediately rushed here, afraid that An Lingge would suffer some sort of grievance. In the end, however, she wasn't worried for her safety at all!
This woman was so stupid!
Mu Junhan was angry, and his expression also became cold. She took two steps back, and Mu Junhan's hand which was on her shoulder grabbed empty air.
"Hereditary Prince Mu should have long known that I am such a person. However, the marriage between us has long since been annulled, and it is not too late for Hereditary Prince Mu to only know about it now. "
It was as if sharp thorns had risen all over her body, and her tone carried a sense of estrangement.
Mu Junhan laughed out in anger, "Yes, our marriage contract has already been dissolved, we are now just two unrelated people. This Hereditary Prince was obsessed with him, so she came over to see you, and did everything she could to rescue you out!"
That time, they had obviously wanted to dispel the marriage agreement in order to dispel the Emperor's suspicions. Now, An Lingge was actually using this matter to distance herself from the Emperor.
Mu Junhan only felt a dull pain in his heart, his beautiful phoenix eyes dyed with a scarlet color.
An Lingge remained unmoved, her beautiful face seemed to be covered in a layer of ice, "There's no need to trouble Hereditary Prince Mu with my matters, but since Hereditary Prince Mu broke her promise and came back from the Mo Bei, I believe that the emperor will not let you off easily, so think of a strategy."
She turned her head not looking at Mu Junhan, but the latter let out a cry and suddenly pressed down on her shoulders. His other hand grabbed onto her pure white chin, and fiercely pressed down on her red lips.
As if he had gone mad, he bit and sucked on his red lips without knowing what to do. His long tongue pierced through An Lingge's pearly white teeth, but was fiercely bitten by her, and between his tightly pressed lips, a faint smell of blood pervaded out.
Only then did Mu Junhan let go of his hand, and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his bony hand. With hidden pain in his phoenix eyes, he said, "I will save you."
As he finished speaking, he turned around to leave. However, his usually elegant and graceful figure now appeared a bit more lonely.
An Lingge watched as his figure disappeared around the corner, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
Being able to be reborn once was already the pity of the heavens. She should live a good life, break Aunt Li's plans, find out the truth behind her mother's death and protect her brother. How could she indulge in the love between a man and woman?
How could a reincarnated ghost like her be able to obtain such feelings?
The corner of An Lingge's mouth curled up in bitterness. At the same time, a ferocious plague spread out in the dark at night.
The thick, ink-like night sky was like a vicious beast, devouring the lives of its victims one after another. However, those sleeping soundly were unable to detect it at all.
The night seemed to have passed in an instant. When the green morning mist enveloped the land, Mu Junhan was already standing on the imperial court.
He wore a court uniform, and his long and straight figure was outlined by his wide sleeves. He was like a crane amongst a flock of chickens, allowing the Emperor, who was seated on the Dragon Throne, to see it with a single glance.
"Mu Junhan." The emperor's face was stern as he shouted this.
Mu Junhan immediately stood up, "This subject is here."
"Since you destroyed your marriage with the Miss An, we invited you to go to the Mo Bei to conduct a war with them. But now, you abandoned the Mo Bei soldiers and ran back to the capital alone.
The Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne, his eyes sweeping over everyone with the majesty of the Son of Heaven. All the officials standing on either side of him lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Mu Junhan put on a solemn expression, and said seriously, "Reporting to your majesty, this subject heard that Prince An and Miss An were imprisoned due to disrespect towards the Emperor. Even if this subject did not break off the engagement with Miss An, this marriage would definitely be annulled."
That means he did nothing wrong?
The emperor was so angry that his eyes were wide open. "Words to argue!"
Mu Junhan laughed and said unrestrainedly, "This subject is only speaking the truth, this matter truly cannot be blamed on this subject."
"Even so, I can't let you off so easily." The emperor snorted. "Then I'll punish you with a three month salary, and then I'll punish you with …"
"Your majesty, the three months salary of a punitive official is already enough!" Mu Junhan interrupted the Emperor's words with a bitter face, "Without a salary, where would I get that silver to eat wine?"
In his heart, he only knew how to enjoy and enjoy, acting like a playboy. The officials beside him all sighed in their hearts, this Hereditary Prince Mu was extremely noble and handsome, and was also extremely intelligent and astute, just that her personality was too muddled, and they did not know why the girls in the capital would so much like him.
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, and even the beard on his lips trembled. "King Mu, look at that son of yours!"
"This subject is guilty." Prince Mu walked out from the crowd of officials and stood beside Mu Junhan, bowing and cupping his hands towards the emperor, "My son is mischievous, it was this subject who did not teach him well. I hope the emperor can give him a chance to atone for his deeds."
