"You can stay in the capital for a few more days. After I finish dealing with the things at hand, I'll go with you." Mu Sheng took Xue Ruyun's hand.

"What?" You have so many things at hand, how can you leave? " Hearing what Mu Ying said, Xue Luoyun was very surprised. He knew Mu Ying was a great general who held great authority and was extremely busy. How could he possibly follow his outside?

"Don't worry, I will arrange it." Mu Rong Zhan consoled Xue Ruoyun, no longer saying anything.

"Mu Sheng, don't delay your own business because of me." Xue Ruyun didn't want to let Mu Ying leave behind the entire Western Paradise because of him. After all, he held the military power, and the burden on his shoulders was so heavy. It was a matter that concerned the safety of an entire country.

"I have made up my mind. This time, I will not let you go. I'll arrange it, don't worry. " It didn't look like a joke.

Xue Ruyun looked into his eyes and nodded his head. The steady light inside would always bring him peace of mind. The two of them chatted for a long time. It was as though they were back in the past. This place had never changed.

Noon of the second day. The sun had come to summon Mu Zhuo. He woke up with a splitting headache.

He closed his eyes and touched the hard floor, realizing that he was lying on the floor inside his bedroom.

"What's going on?" Mu Zhuoyun rubbed his throbbing temples as he tried his best to recall what happened yesterday.

Sigh, I drank too much last night. I must have been utterly humiliated. He didn't even know how he got back. He only remembered to drink with that crazy woman. After that, he became unconscious.

Originally, he had a lot of things he wanted to say to Xue Luoyun, but he was actually delayed because of the wine contest. Mu Zhuo was extremely vexed and wanted to sit up.

No, he felt a little stuffy in his chest, as if something was pressing down on him.

"What is it?" Mu Zhuo stood up and looked down. He saw a beautiful woman with a flushed face in his arms. The clothes on his shoulders slipped a little, revealing his white chest.

Mu Zhuo stared at his chest a few times. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he cried out "Ah!" He abruptly pushed away the woman and shouted, "Who are you?!"

At this moment, Mu Zhuoyun's heart felt like it was filled with thousands of galloping horses as he was filled with endless remorse. Previously, he had drawn a bed with Xue Lian for the sake of drinking wine. Afterwards, they had been betrothed to each other. From then on, he had no fate with Xue Ruyun.

Who would have thought that after getting rid of Xue Lian's painting, looking forward to the stars and the moon to see Xue Lianyun, he would have to repeat the same mistake. Heavens, why did the heavens have to do this to him?

No, kill her? Otherwise, he couldn't just find someone to take the blame for his actions. Mu Zhuo's mind was filled with random thoughts. It was all his fault, why was he so greedy? He was fine, why was he competing with others for wine?

Mu Zhuo's mind was in a mess as he was filled with endless regret.

The girl only woke up after he pushed her. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Mu Zhuoyun. "You woke up."

"It's you!" "Why are you here!" Mu Zhuo recognized her with a single glance as the cold moon who had fought with her over wine yesterday.

So she actually had a motive to lure him in. This woman was simply too insidious. Mu Zhuoyun glared fiercely at Leng Yue, wishing he could kill her.

"You were drunk yesterday, so you insisted on pulling me away. That's where I came from." Leng Yue spread out her hands and stood up. Pulling up her skirt and tidying her clothes, she helplessly said.

"So what happened to us last night? I didn't expect you to be like this... "Woman!" Mu Zhuoyun hugged his chest as he shouted out uncontrollably. He was burning with anxiety, fearing that he would make another mistake.

When Leng Yue saw him like this, she instantly understood what he meant.

She rolled her eyes at Mu Zhuo, "Hey, what are you thinking about? Looking at you, it's me who should be the one hugging your chest. Nothing is as well covered as that. "

"Didn't anything happen to us yesterday?" When Mu Zhuo saw Leng Yue's appearance, he realized that both he and Leng Yue were wearing clothes. Thus, he felt somewhat relieved.

"He thinks it's beautiful. If you want to, I don't want to."

Only after hearing Leng Yue's words did Mu Zhuzhe relax. He had indeed overreacted.

"Then, why are you in my palace? What do you want? " Mu Zhuoyun stood up and pointed at the cold moon.

"You are so unreasonable. Last night, you drank so much that you didn't even let me go. You insisted that I come to your bedroom to drink, and even chased away the palace maid. I don't trust you, so I'll stay with you. I saw you go crazy for half a night before you fell asleep. In the end, I was really too sleepy. And now you're even questioning me. " The moon was so cold that it was like a fan.

He didn't expect Mu Zhuoyun to be so old, like a child after being drunk.

Hearing her say this, Mu Zhuoyun's face reddened. Last night, he had indeed drunk too much, to the point that he had lost consciousness later on. However, hearing what he said, looking at her clothes, it seemed like nothing had happened.

"Really? Then why are you in my arms?" Mu Zhuoyun suddenly thought.

"That's right, that's because I was too sleepy, so I fell down. Who would have thought that it was you …" he asked. Leng Yue became somewhat shy and turned around. He had indeed been sleeping in his arms just now.

"Then I am relieved." Mu Zhuoyun patted his chest.

"Hey, do you think I'm not taking advantage of you? Sis isn't interested in you at all." Leng Yue was so angry that she turned around and left.

"Sigh, wait." Mu Zhuoyun suddenly called out to her.

"What else do you have to say?" Leng Yue turned around unhappily.

"En, thank you for yesterday's matter." Mu Zhuo's tone softened. When she heard that it was Leng Yue who took care of her yesterday, she felt a little sorry. She had even purposely targeted her previously.

Hearing Mu Zhuo's thanks, the anger in Leng Yue's heart finally subsided. "Forget it, we're all friends." Liang Yue smiled and walked out.

Mu Zhuo looked at her back and shook her head with a smile.

After he finished washing himself, Mu Zhuoyun hastily went to find Xue Ruoyun. Yesterday, he had a lot of things to say to her, but he didn't expect that he would miss out on because of his drinking.

During this period of time, he had already thought it through. Since he had already broken off his relationship with Xue Lian, this was the chance that the heavens had given him to once again pursue Xue Ruyun. Regardless of whether she was engaged to Mu Ying or not, Mu Zhuo must let her know his feelings.

I heard that this morning, Xue Luoyun entered the palace with Mu Ying, and is currently taking a walk in the imperial garden. Mu Zhuozhi purposely changed into a set of steadier and more restrained clothes before he hurriedly walked towards the imperial garden.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" From far away, they could hear Mu Zheng asking Mu Ying.

Mu Ying nodded and said without any hesitation, "Luyun is going to find his father, so I can't be at ease."

Mu Zheng glanced at Xue Ruyun and saw her nodding. "Beijing is not the place for me to stay."

"Since you don't have any military power now, and you have pretty much handed over military matters, where do you want to go, I can't control you either. But what do you plan to do with Imperial Mother?" Mu Zheng asked.

"Yes, I told her I was going to Jiangnan …"

"What?" What did you say? " Without waiting for Mu Sheng to finish speaking, Xue Ruoyun suddenly asked Mu Zheng nervously.

"You are now a idle prince, without military power?" Xue Ruyun looked at Mu Ying, his face full of surprise. Why was this? Mu Ying's military talents were outstanding, and his merit points were outstanding. How could he have lost the military authority?

To Mu Zhan, military power was the result of many years of hard work. It was a symbol of his identity, so why did he suddenly lose his military power? Xue Ruyun didn't understand, but felt that there was some sort of connection between him and this.

"What, you didn't tell her?" Mu Zheng felt that he had leaked the information. He looked at Mu Ying and thought that Xue Ruyun already knew about this matter.

Mu Sheng didn't say anything, which made Xue Ruoyun even more anxious.

"Mu Ying, is there something you're hiding from me?" Xue Ruyun looked at Mu Sheng.

Seeing the two of them not saying a word, Xue Luoyun was a bit angry.

"What exactly is going on? "Tell me." Xue Luoyun asked Mu Zheng.

Helpless, Mu Zheng walked towards Mu Ying. "It's better if you tell her."

Mu Sheng muttered to himself for a moment before finally nodding his head. "Because of some small matters, the empress dowager took back my military powers and handed them over to the emperor." Mu Yong said in an undertone, as he didn't want to make Xue Ruoyun feel guilty.

However, when Mu Zheng heard this, he didn't want to hide it anymore. "Why don't you let her know?"

"What he said wasn't the truth, right? You tell it." Xue Ruyun understood the meaning behind Mu Zheng's words.

"Do you know why the Empress Dowager suddenly consented to your marriage? That's because Mu … "

"Don't say that..." Mu Ying wanted to stop him.

"He gave up the military power in exchange for your marriage. "The empress dowager had always been prejudiced against you, but Mu Ying was so determined to marry you that he used military power in exchange for the empress dowager's bestowing of marriage on him." Mu Zheng ignored Mu Sheng, as he didn't want Xue Ruyun to be kept in the dark.

Mu Zheng thought back to that day. If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of this trump card, who knows if he would be the one accompanying Xue Ruoyun right now.

"Is what he said true?" Xue Ruyun looked at Mu Ying, not daring to believe it.

Only today did she know that after this marriage, Mu Ying had actually done so much, much more than she had imagined.

"Why? "Why would you do that?" Xue Ruyun grabbed onto Mu Sheng. "You don't have to give up so much for me." Xue Ruyun's eyes were bloodshot. It turned out that from that early on, he had already been planning things for himself.

"Idiot, military authority is like a floating cloud to me. Only you are the most important existence to me." Mu Yong said as he looked passionately at Xue Ruyun.

Mu Zheng looked at the two of them, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He didn't have a good feeling about this, but he could only sincerely wish them well.

Mu Zhuo looked at them from afar. He had long since heard their conversation clearly.

Who would have thought that Mu Ying would actually pay so much for the sake of Xue Luoyun? He was even willing to hand over the most important military authority. Thinking about it, he was truly ashamed of himself.

Seeing them like this, he was afraid that he would never get another chance.

Mu Zhuo gave a wry smile. The pair of well-matched figures caused him to be unable to open his eyes. Mu Zhuo turned around with heavy footsteps and walked step by step back into the palace.
