[Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter] However, Mu Li heard everything clearly. He slowly raised his head and maintained his usual indifferent expression. "You're having a nightmare. I just don't want you to be afraid."

Nalan Yanran's mind was still in a mess. She didn't realize that he didn't use the title of 'princess' or 'subordinate' to address each other. In reality, Mu Li appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with unease. Therefore, he didn't realize that he didn't use a respectful title just now.

Nalan Jin felt that what he said was reasonable, at least she couldn't say what he was accusing her of. But whatever the reason, he shouldn't have hugged her. This was definitely wrong. She was quiet for a while, then said, "Then you should wake me up."

Mu Li said in a low voice, "Your subordinate shouted. Princess can't hear."

Didn't you hear? It was also possible that she sometimes slept soundly. Nalan Jin was speechless again. In reality, Mu Li normally didn't like to talk much, but she really wasn't stupid at all. It could even be said that she was very smart.

That's right, how could the guards assigned to her by her brother be lacking in qualifications? She shook her head, feeling that she had made a mistake. She was obviously trying to teach her guards a lesson, but why was it turning into considering whether they were smart or not? In order to bring the topic back, she could only say, "That must be because you didn't shout loud enough."

Mu Li lowered his head. Back then, he had only heard her mournful cry. His heart ached, but he didn't care about anything else. Now that he saw her blaming him, he could not say what he felt in his heart. In short, it was not very comfortable. Especially when she called him 'third brother', which was both precious and dependable. He didn't think that she was her brother at all.

As Mu Li thought this, he suddenly realized that his thoughts were too dangerous. He seemed to care more and more about the princess, to the point where he didn't want her to leave his sight. He had never interacted with a girl before, so he was a very simple-minded person. However, this didn't mean that he didn't know anything. Now, he was thinking of a princess!

When Mu Li's thoughts popped out of his head, it was as though he had been struck in the head, jolting him awake. He knelt down in front of the Nalan Yanran embroidery and lowered his head as he said, "Your subordinate has offended the princess. I ask that you punish me."

The Nalan brocade has psychological barriers to others kneeling to her. That was because in her previous life, when the Supreme Fu Mansion had fallen, she remembered everyone kneeling in the courtyard, trembling with fear. There were all the faces she knew, but all she could do was watch.

After that, whenever someone knelt in front of her, she would feel a strong desire to protect that person. And now. She turned around and walked to the window. With a heavy heart, she looked out and calmly said, "Mu Li, I never let you kneel before me because I don't like this method. You never knelt before me, not because you didn't respect me, but because you never treated me as your master. "

"This subordinate would not dare."

"You don't dare?" Nalan Yanran turned around and stared at him. His tone was much more severe than before: "You have been by my side for a while now, how could I not understand your personality? On the surface, you seem to be my brother's bodyguard. You have to listen to everything I say. However, in your heart, no one can become your master. What you want to do, you have to do even if you have to. If it's something you don't want to do, you still wouldn't do it even if the blade is placed against your neck. "

Mu Li didn't say anything, only lowering his head. It was unknown if it was tacit approval or what.

Nalan Yanran let out a sigh of relief again and looked at him. "The reason you're kneeling to me now is simply because you feel that I'm nothing more than a stranger to you, not that it matters, right?"

Mu Li remained silent, struggling internally. Some of the emotions seemed to be about to burst out of his chest, but he knew that he couldn't say it out loud. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the right to stay by her side.

"Mu Li, look at me. Answer me!" This was one of the few times that Nalan Yanran was strict in her embroidery.

Mu Li's personality was not only indifferent and calm, but also direct, like a young man. He really wanted to say what he was thinking. He wanted to ask her, to answer you? I dare to answer, and do you dare to listen? However, in the end, his reluctance to part still prevailed. He couldn't bear to see her disappointed, unwilling to see her in a difficult situation, unwilling to leave her.

He had never liked anyone before, and he had never thought about who he would like one day. However, the moment he hugged her, he already knew in his heart that he liked this girl, his little mistress. It turned out that liking a person was such a simple matter. Merely being together with her for a short period of time was enough for him to like her.

"Mu Li, I've always been telling you that people must trust each other. And you, when will you be able to trust me? It's like being with your comrades. " Nalan Yanran had been working hard for a long time, but she still said those words. She was someone who had died once, so she had seen through a lot of things, including the feelings between a man and a woman. Mu Li was hiding from her, but she had a rough idea of what he was hiding from her.

Mu Li's heart turned cold when he heard her words. She had a good-natured personality and was very kind to her subordinates. She came from a noble background, but she could make herself sacrifice herself to that small medicine store for a free diagnosis. Her peculiarities made him relax his vigilance and feel that they could be on the same side. However, she was born to be a master, and he was someone who couldn't even control his own destiny. How could they travel together?

The reason why she was saying these words to him now was because he had held her just now! She wanted him to give up. She wanted him to stop thinking about her. She was afraid of hurting him, so she spoke in such a tactful manner. If he didn't restrain his emotions, how could he be worthy of her? Worthy of the Crown Prince? Was he worthy of the Northern Duke Residence?

Mu Li rose and respectfully bowed to her. "Princess, you are my master. This subordinate swears to protect you. This subordinate accidentally offended you just now, so I won't do it again."

Nalan Jin nodded his head and even found a way out for him: "I didn't blame you for the urgency of the situation."

Mu Li arranged half of the military strategy that he had copied so that she could study it later. He helped her restudy the ink before leaving the house. Every time she wasn't in a good mood, she would write, and as she wrote, she would calm down.

Mu Li thought that writing calmness would allow people to calm down. What he didn't know was that the reason why Nalan Yanran was writing was because her calligraphy was taught by her third brother. Her handwriting was almost identical to her. Every time she saw the words she had written, she felt strangely at peace.

Love was such an unreasonable thing. It was obvious that that person had betrayed her, but she still couldn't forget. Before she left Jinling, she would have made it clear to him that she couldn't let him go. She wanted him to tell her personally that relationships were far less important than career, and he chose the latter. If that was the case, she probably wouldn't be as obsessed with it as she was now.

Nalan Yanran picked up the military strategy that Mu Li copied and sat it on top of the desk. She looked at it for a long time, but still didn't manage to catch a glimpse of it. Although Mu Li's calligraphy looked much better than before, it was still slightly illegible and didn't match his clean personality. From the looks of it, she still needed to properly supervise him.

The thought of supervising his writing gave her another headache. Mu Li was a few years older than Xu Jinsheng, but the Nalan brocade was about the same age as him. She had also been in love for the first time, wholeheartedly adoring a person.

The first person he had fallen in love with would leave a deep impression on him, one that he would never be able to forget. That's because you know how to like at first and give away all your feelings. Since he had paid the price sincerely, it was inevitable that he would have it engraved in his memory.

Back then, she had liked Zong Xuanyi, wasn't that the case as well? This kind of liking the beginning was pure, and the end was simple. And after careful deliberation, the love that had to be admitted to was love. True love was something that a person could not easily part with, just like how she treated her third brother right now.

Mu Li was probably only new to her. Because he had never come into contact with other girls before, he would foolishly take a favorable impression as liking them. In the beginning, it should be easy to suppress it!

Nalan Yanran thought hard and finally thought of a way. It was to let Mu Li come into contact with girls more often. When he got along with a lot of girls, he would understand that this feeling was not love, but a good impression of the opposite sex. The difference between this good feeling and love is that it can be many, and love is the only.

Although the Na Lan embroidery was an action faction, she still decided to let Mascot give it a try in order to prevent Mu Li from being suspicious. She was the smartest of the two girls. She wasn't afraid of creating trouble by getting them to interact more with Mu Li. Even if there were trouble, it would be a good thing. If a man didn't marry his wife, she would act on their behalf when the time came.

As the Nalan Jin was happily making her own plans, she was stunned by Cui Zhu's wailing. She pushed the door open and stood on the second floor, looking down at the courtyard. Because Cui Zhu had come in a crazed state, she was stopped by the woman at the door. She was still shouting loudly for her to see the princess.

The Nalan Jin had no choice but to let her in. When she saw her, Cui Zhu didn't move forward and knelt on the ground, begging her: "Princess, your servant begs you to save the wangfei!"

"What happened to the princess?"

Cui Zhu didn't dare to say anything, and could only lie on the ground and cry. An ominous premonition rose up in Nalan Jin's heart. She let Mu Li carry her medicine box as she rushed down the stairs with her fastest speed, rushing towards Cangwu Liao.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she felt strange. Normally, there would be many guards at the entrance. The maids and wives also came and went, busying themselves with their own matters. At this moment, the courtyard was extremely spacious, as if she was the only one there. She called out to her mother twice, but no one answered, so she went upstairs.
