"I know better than anyone that you are a kind person."

But such a bewitching soup was useless against Mu Zhihuan. She snorted, obviously not believing him.

"You actually lied to me for so long!"

Mu Zhihuan raised her eyes and looked at Gu Mingxuan's sharp and clear face. It was extremely beautiful, but also extremely dangerous.

Now she finally understood why Gu Mingxuan was so concerned about the Tuanzi, it was because he had been aiming for the Tuanzi from the beginning.

Seeing the emotions in Mu Zhihuan's eyes, Gu Mingxuan glanced at Feng Yu out of the corner of her eyes. Feng Yu was also very tactful, after receiving the message, he quietly left, leaving the two of them to deal with it slowly.

Seeing that Feng Yu had left, Gu Mingxuan opened his mouth: "I didn't intentionally hide this from you for so long, it's just that I haven't found the chance to tell you."

Mu Zhihuan scoffed softly, "You intentionally hid this from me for so long. If you truly wanted to hide this from me, wouldn't you have to tell me the truth for the rest of your life?"

Gu Mingxuan hurriedly shook his head and explained, "In the beginning, you were Jiang Zisu's wangfei and even lost your memory. Let alone the General Mu and your plan, you basically did not remember about Ran'er at all."

"If I tell you carelessly, the son you like so much is not your son, but my younger brother."

"Moreover, it is one of the main culprits that caused your family to be destroyed. Not only is it impossible for you to trust me, you will definitely be on guard against me. If so, it will not be worth it."

The logic behind it was this, but Mu Zhihuan was still very unhappy: "Then the reason why you approached me was also because of Ran'er?"

"Yes." With regards to this point, Gu Mingxuan did not want to lie. Seeing Mu Zhihuan's face becoming more and more unsightly, Gu Mingxuan continued.

"I admit that I initially approached you with the goal in mind, but gradually, I began to be attracted to you."

As he spoke, Gu Mingxuan held Mu Zhihuan's hand and placed it on his chest.

"Since I was young, my body was weak and I was sick. My heartbeat was slower than most people's by a lot, but it always walked really fast when I was with you. Only then could I clearly feel that I'm still alive."

The center of her palm was pressed tightly against Gu Mingxuan's chest, and as he felt the heartbeat coming from below, Mu Zhihuan retracted her gaze and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing that she had wavered, Gu Mingxuan continued, "I said, I came here to find my wife and children, but it seems like I can't find my wife and son now. I only found a brother, so are you willing to be my wife and give me a son?"

Mu Zhihuan's ears suddenly turned red. Who said that ancient men could not speak romantic words?

Mu Zhihuan tried her best to pull back his hand, but it was useless as the other party had grabbed onto him too tightly, so after trying twice without any success, Mu Zhihuan decided to give up.

She lifted her eyes and looked at Gu Mingxuan's face. Under the candlelight, the clear outline of his face lacked the usual coldness, and was instead a bit more gentle.

Indistinctly, Mu Zhihuan could see a trace of nervousness in his throat.

This man was actually nervous?

Mu Zhihuan looked up at the man. With his delicate features and straight back, as long as he saw, he would always feel safe.

How could she refuse such a person?

"Not yet."

Hearing Mu Zhihuan's rejection, Gu Mingxuan's face suddenly sank. Mu Zhihuan shrugged her shoulders: "Jiang Zisu and I still have two years of agreement, I don't think he will let me go so quickly."

So that was the case. It was not that she was unwilling to follow him, but rather, her current situation did not allow it.

"What if I allow Jiang Zisu to take the initiative and leave you?"

That could not be better, but Mu Zhihuan looked at Gu Mingxuan suspiciously: "How can you have that capability?"

Gu Mingxuan raised his eyebrows: "Jiang Zisu forced himself to maintain a marriage with you just for the sake of face. This way, the Crown Prince he supports won't be criticized because of him."

This point, Mu Zhihuan had to admit that she had also discovered this problem, which was why she had been so obedient these few days.

As long as the crown prince ascended the throne, Jiang Zisu would have no reason to keep her anymore and she would be free to go.

But even though Jiang Zimu was the crown prince, it was still extremely hard to guess the emperor's thoughts. Until the very last second, you would never know who would win in the end.

Thus, even though this matter seemed simple, it was actually a very long wait.

Of course, Gu Mingxuan understood this logic, which was why he was able to speak in such a relaxed manner, "As long as you let the crown prince become the emperor, it will be fine."

Seeing how determined Gu Mingxuan's tone was, Mu Zhihuan puzzledly frowned.

Although Jiang Zimu was the noble crown prince, he could only do it after the emperor had passed away or the emperor had voluntarily relinquished the title of a sage.

However, looking at the sickly look on the emperor's face, it was obvious that he did not have much time to live, and he still did not put the matter of the crown prince's enthronement on the agenda.

Seeming to know what Mu Zhihuan was thinking, Gu Mingxuan smiled: "The ones who wanted Jiang Zimu to ascend the throne as quickly as possible wasn't only you and me."

Mu Zhihuan looked at Gu Mingxuan doubtfully: "What exactly do you mean?"

Seeing Mu Zhihuan's anxious look, Gu Mingxuan was amused: "Do you want to know? That... "Same old rules."

What was the rule? Mu Zhihuan was startled, but when she saw the faint smile on Gu Mingxuan's face, she reacted immediately.

She glared angrily at Gu Mingxuan: "Have you forgotten that I haven't calmed down from concealing this matter of me from you?"

But Gu Mingxuan still continued to use that pair of cold eyes to stare at Mu Zhihuan, and made up his mind to not speak anymore.

Mu Zhihuan had lost her temper after being hit by this soft nail. She could only look around, but she did not see anyone else.

Mu Zhihuan stood on her tiptoes and lightly kissed Gu Mingxuan's lips.

"You! You can say it now, can't you? "

Gu Mingxuan laughed satirically, seeing Mu Zhihuan's face becoming redder and redder, only then did he slowly say:

"Whether it's Jiang Zisu or Jiang Zimu, they are both more anxious than us, so the only thing we need to do is to create opportunities for them, and they will settle the rest themselves."

Seeing that Mu Zhihuan's brows were getting tighter and tighter, Gu Mingxuan reached out and smoothed out the wrinkles on her forehead:

"I was still thinking about how to find this opportunity, but who would've thought that the opportunity would come so soon."

Opportunity?

Mu Zhihuan slapped Gu Mingxuan's hand away, then pressed it against his chin and thought for a while, then Mu Zhihuan suddenly realized:

"Are you talking about the poison that was administered by Feng Yu?"
