Mu Yingxi's eyes suddenly dimmed. This was a fact she had known all along, so why did she still ask.

If she hadn't been afraid that the entire Mu family would be executed because of her, she would have left everything behind to be with Tian Qiyu.

"Xiao Xi, are you tired?" Mu Xu helped Mu Yingxi sleep and carefully covered her with a quilt, fearing that she would catch cold.

Mu Yingxi nodded lightly. She didn't know how to continue the conversation with Mu Xu.

"Daddy, I won't disturb your rest. If you feel unwell, you must tell daddy and he will call a doctor immediately." Mu Xu still warned uneasily.

Mu Yingxi nodded gently, held Xiaoxue in her arms, and slowly closed her eyes.

Mu Xu glanced at Mu Yingxi lovingly and slowly exited her bedroom.

After Mu Xu left, the whole room instantly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear your own breathing.

Fatigue struck, and Mu Yingxi quickly fell into a deep sleep.

While sleeping until midnight, Mu Yingxi seemed to hear Xiaoxue whining in her arms.

Mu Yingxi was so shocked that she started hugging Xiaoxue, but the wound on her body hurt, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Xiao Xi, is the wound open?" Cang Nuo hurriedly pulled off the black cloth covering his face and supported Mu Yingxi worriedly.

The pain made Mu Yingxi gradually regain consciousness. She looked at Cang Nuo, who was dressed in black, frowned and said, "Brother Shitou, you are not afraid of being seen."

"I don't trust you. When we were in the paddock, I couldn't stay or check your injuries. I sneaked into Mu's mansion secretly and no one discovered my whereabouts." Cang Nuo lowered his head and explained in a low voice that he was afraid of Mu.

Ying Xi will be angry and ignore him.

Mu Yingxi glared at Cang Nuo bitterly and said sarcastically: "Brother Shitou, you think this is the Cang Kingdom, where you can be tyrannical."

Cang Nuo's heart sank instantly, and a hint of helplessness appeared on her face, "Xiao Xi, why are you like your little pet, so unwelcome to my appearance?"

Mu Yingxi realized that she had said the wrong thing, and life in Cang Country might be more difficult than in Tianqi Dynasty.

He must beware of dangers that may arise at any time and cannot relax for a moment.

"Brother Shitou, I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you." Mu Yingxi held Cang Nuo's hand and explained eagerly.

"I know, you are worried about me, just like I am worried about you." Cang Nuo did not tell Mu Yingxi her feelings in the end.

Seeing that Cang Nuo was no longer thinking wildly, Mu Yingxi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Shitou, don't underestimate the imperial physician of Tianqi Dynasty. The poison of the Red Snake in my body has been cured."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cang Nuo poured cold water on his head, "Really? If you hadn't been bitten by a red snake, you would have died long ago."

"Brother Shitou." Mu Yingxi couldn't help but raise her voice and looked at Cang Nuo dissatisfied.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I feel relieved to see that you are safe. It's time for me to go." Cang Nuo covered his handsome face with black cloth again and said dotingly.

"Brother Shitou, be careful." Mu Yingxi warned worriedly. Mu Mansion is not a palace, but it is also full of experts.

Cang Nuo nodded lightly, opened the window, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Seeing that the man had left, Xiaoxue immediately screamed at Mu Yingxi to remind Mu Yingxi of her existence.

"Xiaoxue, Brother Shitou is not an outsider. Just like Xiaoxue, he is my most important relative." Mu Yingxi gently tapped the tip of Xiaoxue's nose and whispered.

Xiaoxue seemed to understand Mu Yingxi's words and nodded gently.

Mu Yingxi glanced at the sky outside. She was injured and would not have to enter the palace tomorrow. Thinking of this, Mu Yingxi couldn't help but smile.

She is not afraid of entering the palace or facing Tian Qiyu, but she is afraid of facing Mu Yingran.

When she saw Mu Yingran, she always felt a deep sense of guilt for taking away all the love Tian Qiyu had for his wife.

"Xiaoxue, it's still early, let's go to bed." Mu Yingxi shook her head mockingly and held Xiaoxue in her arms.

Xiaoxue found a comfortable position in Mu Yingxi's arms and closed her eyes obediently. Even though she was not sleepy at all, she did not want to disturb her master.

After Tian Qijing returned to the palace, he immediately ordered someone to thoroughly investigate Mu Yingxi's injury. He wanted to give Tian Qiyu and Mu Xu an explanation.

Tian Qijing, the archer, was not found, and no evidence was left at the scene.

Tian Qiyu has never seen the assassin, and he doesn't even know the assassin's figure. Everything is like a mystery with no answer.

Tian Qijing gave all the precious medicinal herbs in the palace to Mu Yingxi, and specifically told Mu Yingxi that Mu Yingxi did not have to go to the palace to be on duty until the injury was healed.

Mu Yingxi didn't care about the emperor's reward, but when she thought that the emperor had allowed her so many days of leave, she felt so happy that she couldn't even feel the pain of the wound.

The assassination of Tian Qiyu was left unsolved.

The days of recuperating at home were very boring. Mu Yingxi would occasionally take out the revolving lantern and turn it gently with her hands.

The beautiful memories of the past were still vivid in her mind, and Mu Yingxi even began to miss the glutinous rice balls made by Gu Chenxuan himself.

She forged an official status for Gu Chenxuan, but prevented him from taking the imperial examination. She was so willful, but he was so tolerant, without even asking why.

A gentle knock on the door interrupted Mu Yingxi's thoughts. Mu Yingxi immediately hid the revolving lantern in the cabinet before getting up and opening the door.

"Fourth Prince, you are here." Mu Yingxi was not surprised by Tian Qiyu's appearance. After she was allowed to recuperate at home, Tian Qiyu would come to Mu Mansion every day.

The servants in Mu's mansion might feel strange at first, but now that Tian Qiyu has come more often, the servants in the mansion are no longer surprised.

"Xiao Xi, you don't seem to welcome me?" Tian Qiyu walked sideways past Mu Yingxi and sat down on the chair.

"If I said you weren't welcome, would you leave?" Mu Yingxi still stood where she was and said softly.

"Xiao Xi, I will be sad if you say that." Mu Yingxi said softly, but Tian Qiyu still heard Mu Yingxi's words and said dissatisfied.

Mu Yingxi shook her head helplessly and walked slowly to Tian Qiyu, "Fourth prince, do you have nothing to do in the palace? Now you have only met the emperor's first requirement and the following two conditions.

Are you sure you can defeat the second prince?"

Mu Yingxi's words made Tian Qiyu change his expression and said sternly: "I don't allow you to make fun of your body anymore. I won't watch you in danger again."

Mu Yingxi also changed her expression and responded coldly: "Fourth Prince, no one can influence my decision, not even you."

Tian Qiyu said slowly: "Xiao Xi, do we have to quarrel when we meet? We can't sit down and talk properly."
