After a while, he mustered his courage and said, "Today, I came to give myself a betrothal gift. Since you and I are betrothed, now I have brought my own betrothal gift. Please accept it, these are my favorite gifts for all these years. If you feel that it's not enough, I will make up for it in the future."

Mu Ying didn't know how to express his feelings, so he could only use these treasures to speak. However, he knew in his heart that Xue Ruoyun was not a vain person.

"What do you mean?" Xue Luoyun still didn't understand what Chen Changsheng was trying to say.

"I, I'm afraid that you will forget me after you go out. If you give me a betrothal gift, then you can't agree to anyone else." Mu Ying looked at Xue Ruyun with sincere eyes as he spoke. He had never truly expressed what he felt in his heart before.

Xue Luoyun understood what he meant, and his heart shook. He was extremely moved, because there had never been a person who treated her so well and with such diligence before.

"These things are too precious. They are all things that the prince loves. I cannot accept them." Xue Luoyun refused.

"You won't promise me? Could it be that you want to agree to someone else's request? " Mu Rong Zhan's expression suddenly changed, instantly becoming covered with a frosty aura.

"You can only promise me that you are my man." Mu Rong Zhan roared angrily, the thing he was afraid of still happened.

"That's not what I meant, you misunderstood me." Xue Luoyun was speechless. His anger could always ignite and explode in an instant.

"Oh, then what do you mean?" Mu Ying awkwardly retracted his expression, as if he was a child.

"What I mean is that I'm going into exile this time. Even if you give me so many things, I won't be able to take them with me. Besides, if I bring these treasures with me, it will arouse the greed of others and maybe bring about a fatal disaster. "So you'd better take it back." Xue Ruyun earnestly advised him, afraid that he would be angered again later.

Hearing her words, Mu Ying did not seem to be without reason. He had been careless. However, like this, if Xue Ruoyun did not accept his betrothal gift, his heart would not feel safe at all, and he would feel uneasy.

"Your Highness, you're afraid that I'll meet some peach blossoms outside. Don't worry, since I've already agreed to your marriage, no matter if I accept the betrothal gift or not, I'll still keep my body as still as jade.

Seeing Mu Ying's worried expression, Xue Ruyun gave her a Tranquil Heart Pill. Regardless of whether it was in the present or the ancient times, even though Xue Ruoyun's beauty was peerless, he was still a single-minded individual. He would not entangle himself with others and provoke others with peach blossoms.

Hearing Xue Luoyun's words, Mu Sheng relaxed his brows and no longer looked serious.

"Oh right, I have prepared a few carriages outside with food for you." Oh right, I have prepared several carriages outside with food for you. If you have any difficulties, send me a message. " The usually cold Mu Hao suddenly turned into a chatterbox.

Xue Luoyun smiled, but his eyes were filled with hot tears. "Thank you."

Mu Ying turned his head. "It's just a small matter. Where did all this nonsense come from?" However, in his heart, he felt that this was not enough. As Xue Ruoyun continued on his journey, he could not be at ease. This was all he could do for Xue Ruyun.

"Then, I will go back to pack my things. It is already late, please go back."

"Give me a letter when you get there. After I finish my business, I will naturally come to find you." Mu Rong Zhan jumped onto the wall, but still said worriedly.

"Alright. "Goodbye." Xue Ruyun watched his figure disappear into the thicket. He stared blankly for a while, before returning to the house in disappointment.

"Miss, the conquest king is really good to you." While folding her clothes, Yun Zhi enviously asked. With her sharp eyes, she had long since seen through the deep feelings Mu Ying had for Xue Ruyun.

"He's cold on the outside but hot on the inside. He's the same to everyone else." Xue Ruyun didn't notice Mu Sheng's deep emotions. He had thought that he was treating his well purely because they were engaged. With so many concubines in his residence, he probably treated them in this way as well.

What Xue Ruyun didn't know was that there were many concubines in the Prince's estate, all of them forced by the empress dowager.

In all these years, she was the first person to have tempted the King.

"She is only doing this to you." Yun Zhi shook her head. She didn't know when her young mistress would be less slow to deal with feelings.

However, matters like emotions were always left to the onlookers to watch the unfolding events unfold from the sidelines. In the midst of it, some people were unable to control themselves, while others were completely oblivious to it.

On the day of their journey, the Xue Family only rented two carriages, one for their parents and one for the three sisters. All the servants had been dismissed, leaving only a maid to wait upon them.

Xue Duan Sheng stood at the door and looked at the Xue Estate that used to be in glory for a moment. Now that it had fallen to this state, he could only blame himself for taking one wrong step. No one else could be blamed. Now that he was poor, his heart was at ease.

"Master, let's go." Although the two of them resented each other back then, in the end, the two of them were still husband and wife who accompanied each other throughout their lives. Now that they were at this stage, they had to support each other even more.

Everyone reluctantly took one last look at the Xue Manor and got into the carriage.

"Wait a moment." A palanquin hurriedly rushed over. Mu Zhuoyun stepped down.

"Your Highness, you're here." Xue Lian opened the curtains. He joyfully ran down the stairs and ran towards Mu Zhuozhi, almost tripping over her.

However, Mu Zhuo moved around Xue Lian's painting and walked towards Xue Muyun.

"I'll walk you out." Mu Zhuozhi was holding a small pot of green plants and handing it to Xue Ruoyun.

"This is …" Xue Ruyun saw that the plant was so green that it was pleasing to the eyes and filled with vigor and vitality.

"This is the green plant you gave me. It fell accidentally once, and its roots were broken. Its leaves were all broken. I thought that it would wither, but I didn't expect it to actually be strong enough to survive. and ended up being the most delightful plant in my room. " Mu Zhuo hoped to encourage Xue Luoyun in this way, so no matter what difficulties he encountered, he had to remain strong.

"Thank you." Xue Ruyun understood his meaning and looked at him gratefully.

Looking at Mu Zhuo moving away from him, Xue Lian felt quite awkward. He hated Xue Luoyun to the extreme and felt quite sad. He walked back to the carriage in disappointment.

"Isn't this the crown prince you were betrothed to? "What, he's not here to see you?" Xue Shaoli asked even though she knew the answer.

"Xue Luoyun, you slut." Xue Lianshu cursed angrily in a low voice. He could not help but cover his face and cry.

"This journey has been difficult and dangerous. If you encounter any inconvenience, feel free to send me a message." Mu Zhuo's words were exactly the same as Mu Ying's.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I should be on my way." As Xue Ruyun spoke, everyone had already finished their preparations. Xue Lianhua urged them to continue onward.

"Take care." Mu Zhuo waved his hand reluctantly and shouted towards Xue Luoyun's carriage.

Mu Rong Zhan stood far away from the city gate tower, not even bothering to send off Xue Ruoyun. He didn't know what to say. He had done what he could. Even if he saw Xue Ruyun, he still wouldn't be able to say those nagging words. He could only stand on the city wall and watch the wind blow past as he accompanied Jun Wu Yi on his journey.

After Xue Ruyun left, the entire capital suddenly became empty. Walking on the busy street, Mu Ying felt that every one of his faces resembled Xue Ruoyun, but they weren't her face. He jumped onto his horse and quickly returned to the manor. He hoped that he could finish the things in his hands as soon as possible. He didn't feel that time passed so slowly, and he also felt that he could finish everything before the time was ripe.

Mu Zheng looked at the portrait of Xiao Die, and in his mind, he could see the smiling face of Xue Lao Yun. He returned to the Heartrest Palace and began to handle the political affairs with all his might. Only the green plants on the shore were verdant and lush.

The horse carriage jolted all the way out of the capital. When they saw that the bustle had left them and their path became more and more remote, Xue Lianshui and Xue Shaoli could no longer hold it in and cried bitterly in the car.

After crying for a long time, the two of them were jolted by the carriage again. He was lying listlessly in the car. When he thought of the luxurious life he had in the past, he felt that he would be able to walk with a calm mind even if he were to walk around in a large palanquin. Now that they had eaten coarse tea and eaten light rice, wearing coarse clothes, the two of them felt extreme despair.

Xue Ruyun had already been trained before, so these small bumps were like a piece of cake for her. She squeezed into a corner as best she could and let them lie comfortably.

That afternoon, the carriage had been gone for two days. The sun was scorching hot and the carriage had stopped by the roadside. The few of them got off the carriage and sat in the shade of a tree to rest. Mu Zheng's heart was filled with hatred towards Xue Duan Sheng, so he surely wouldn't let him off.

Xue Shaoli and Xue Lianhua were lying on the ground, feeling dizzy and thirsty.

Liu Xu helped Xue Shaoli up and fed her water bit by bit with a kettle. Seeing this, Xue Lian moaned weakly: "Water, I want water."

However, when Liu Xu brought it over, there was no more water in the kettle, so the amount of water on the way was more than enough. However, Xue Shaoli and Xue Lianhua were not in a good mood. They had used a lot of water, but there was not a drop left in the pot.

Xue Lian turned the kettle upside down and opened his mouth wide, but it was empty.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Annoyed, she threw the kettle far away and screamed crazily.

Xue Ruyun was sitting on the side and his mouth was parched. The entire road of water was occupied by two people, and he was too lazy to argue with them. There was not a drop of water left. There was still a way to go until he reached the tavern to replenish the water. Xue Ruyun's health was good, but he was fine.

It was just the two of them. They looked sickly and had delicate bodies. If they didn't drink any more water, they might not be able to hold on. Helpless, Xue Ruyun stood up and picked up the kettle. "Wait, I'll go find some water."

Xue Ruyun said as he walked into the forest.

"Miss, wait for me." Yun Zhi was worried and quickly followed him.

Looking at Xue Luoyun's departing back, Xue Lianhua leaned against a tree, pointed at Xue Luoyun and angrily cursed, "It's all because of this little bitch, the jinx, that caused our family to fall to such a state. I wish I could tear her into ten thousand pieces." Xue Lian's body went limp, but his mouth was still so strong.
