Xiao Chengyi didn't pay attention to Mu Xuechu's expression. Seeing that it was getting late, he said: "You should rest early. I will take Yan Yan to see you off when you leave Beijing."
Shen Chi said "Hello" and reached out to shake Mu Xuechu's hand to signal her.
Mu Xuechu came back to her senses and hurriedly gathered her thoughts to send Xiao Chengyi away in person. After they left, she closed the door and walked to Shenchi to help him.
But Shen Chi held her hand and asked worriedly: "Chu'er, are you worried about something?"
He could see clearly just now that Mu Xuechu's expression was obviously wrong after he heard that General Mu also knew about Xiao Chengyi's life experience.
Mu Xuechu squatted down, looked at Shen Chi and said, "I really can't hide anything from you. I didn't expect Yi'er to be the orphan of Prince Chen, and my eldest brother actually knew about it."
Shen Chi asked with some confusion: "Is there any problem with this?"
Mu Xuechu frowned: "Yes, there is a big problem. Did you know that my eldest brother and Prince Chen were brothers and sisters back then? Logically speaking, our Mu family should have the same fate as the Zhenguo Palace.
But after Yuan Hao ascended the throne, instead of punishing the Mu family, he allowed my eldest brother to continue to hold military power. Do you know why?"
Hearing what she said, Shen Chi felt a little bad in his heart. He frowned and asked, "Why?"
Mu Xuechu lowered her eyes and spoke in a low voice. Shen Chi's expression changed, and the room suddenly fell into a dead silence.
...
General's Mansion, Shuiyunju.
Mu Yun'an screamed and suddenly woke up from the nightmare. She was breathing heavily and there were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her heart felt like it was about to jump out.
She actually dreamed that when she died in her previous life, she dreamed that Xiao Chengyi was holding an arrow and looking at her with disgust under the tower. The arrow pierced her heart without any hesitation.
Then she woke up.
Mu Yun'an sat up and clutched her chest, lost in thought. Ever since she and Xiao Chengyi were together, she had never seen or dreamed about the scene when she died in her previous life.
But today she dreamed again, and it was so clear.
Mu Yunan was in a daze for a while before she gradually came back to her senses. She looked at the position next to her through the moonlight, and Xiao Chengyi was not there. She shouted in a hoarse voice: "Brother Yi."
No one responded in the silent room.
Mu Yun'an didn't know where Xiao Chengyi had gone. He was obviously there before she went to bed. Without Xiao Chengyi, she felt sleepy and just huddled in the corner with a quilt.
She thought about the dream she had, and thought it might have been affected by Shen Wanyue's words today. She looked indifferent on the surface, but in fact, she still felt a shadow in her heart.
She was actually afraid, afraid that Xiao Chengyi would abandon her like what Shen Wanyue said, and that there were some hidden secrets in her past life that she didn't know about.
Mu Yun'an couldn't help but think wildly. Even though she was covered with a quilt, she felt cold, and her heart felt empty without any sense of security.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a slight noise outside.
Xiao Chengyi walked in softly and saw Mu Yun'an sitting huddled in the corner on the bed. He was startled and hurried over and called out: "Yan Yan."
When Mu Yun'an heard his voice, he raised his head, stood up, and quickly rushed over to the thick nasal voice as if he was about to cry, full of grievance: "Brother Yi, where have you been? I'm scared!"
