Chapter 258 One Word of Affection

It was the morning of the second day when Su Mianyue woke up. Shangguan Pei had just returned from a tour of the barracks and saw that Su Mianyue was about to get up and get off the ground to stop him.

"You haven't cleared your body of the residual poison. It's best to rest for the next few days." Holding Su Mianyue's arm so that she could lean against the bed, Shangguan Pei pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry, I saved you, but your presence has alarmed the entire barracks. Even I, the general, can't make the decision to let you go now."

Shangguan Pei's apology was sincere, but as a general, there were some things that he could not decide.

Su Mianyue nodded faintly. When he decided to come here alone, he thought that it was not easy to leave. Besides, Shangguan Pei saved her time and time again, and Su Mianyue didn't want to put Shangguan Pei in a difficult position.

"I owe you again this time. I don't know when I can repay you." Su Mianyue was not worried about leaving. As long as Shangguan Pei did not want to hurt her life and did not resort to evil tactics, Su Mianyue admitted that it was not difficult to leave.

"You're welcome, Empress Su. This is the matter of the general's duty. If not for the general's lax control of the army, there wouldn't be a trap for empress su," Shangguan Pei blamed himself.

Su Mianyue looked up at the masked and robed man in front of him, who couldn't hide his murderous aura even when he was gossiping. His eyes were a little complicated, and after a moment of contemplation, he said in a low voice: "I thought that after I left there, I would not be involved with General Shangguan any more. Even if I met him again, I would only be an acquaintance, not a minister."

Shangguan Pei stiffened and looked at Su Mianyue with a gentle look, "Miss Su doesn't like the palace. Why should he stay with Wanyan Lin? Forgive me, sir. Wanyan Lin is not a good person."

Frowning, Su Mianyue did not like people to judge Wanyan Lin like this, but she would not blame Shangguan Pei for it. After all, in the eyes of many people, it was not wise for her to abandon the emperor's honor and the empress's honor, but to be involved with another emperor.

In fact, Su Mianyue herself did not know that she had repeatedly rejected this relationship, but she did not know when they had been together, as if this was the end that should be.

Seeing that Su Mianyue didn't speak, Shangguan Pei changed the subject and said, "I received the news that you were ambushed. I thought it was a false message to deceive me, but I didn't want it to be true. With your mind, you shouldn't be so easily deceived."

"I received a letter saying that biwu was in your hands and that my mother's ashes were in your hands." Su Mianyue looked up and fixed his gaze on Shangguan Pei.

"Your maid?" Shangguan Pei had some impression of Biwu, only because biwu was the person Su Mianyue cared about. After seeing Su Mianyue nod, Shangguan Pei continued, "Isn't she with you? As for your mother's ashes, they were broken by those people when the Su Family was ransacked, along with your father and brother's ashes... They couldn't be buried!"

"What did you say?" Su Mianyue stood up excitedly and looked up at guan pei with bloodshot eyes, instantly becoming the goddess of hatred.

Shangguan Pei had always been used to being direct, and it was only when she saw Su Mianyue so excited that she realized that she had made a mistake. It was not wise to provoke Su Mianyue at this time, but she did not know how to comfort him.

After staring at Shangguan Pei for a long time, Su Mianyue nearly fell to the ground because of the emotional turmoil. Shangguan Pei helped her sit down and after a while, her mind gradually returned to normal.

"I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with you. I shouldn't be angry with you." With her eyes slightly lowered, Su Mianyue apologized in a stiff voice, her hands clenched tightly around her dress. After a long time, she said, "Could you please tell me about the su family?"

After a moment of hesitation, Shangguan Pei slowly explained what he knew, which was similar to what Su Mianyue knew. After all, Shangguan Pei was not in Imperial Capital at that time, and all the news was not seen with his own eyes.

Su Mianyue listened quietly, and there was nothing unusual about it except the cracking of his fists. It was as if he was listening to someone else's story, but Shangguan Pei still noticed the murderous and intense hatred that occasionally emanated from Su Mianyue.

After Shangguan Pei had been silent for almost half an hour, Su Mianyue calmed down and smiled at Shangguan Pei, "Thank you for telling me this, but I'm injured now. It's called iron rice and steel. Can you give me something to eat first to fill my stomach?"

Shangguan Pei nodded and silently turned around to tell people to prepare breakfast, in order to avoid suspicion that Shangguan Pei did not eat with Su Mianyue.

For the next three days, Su Mianyue was in bed and recuperated, but she was never calm under the seemingly calm exterior. Three days had passed, and Wanyan Lin should have found her missing. Did he not expect her to be here with Shangguan Pei, or did he not look for her at all?

Not knowing the real situation, Su Mianyue's thoughts became more and more. Finally, she decided to leave here and see the truth whether she was sorry for Shangguan Pei's rescue or not.

However, as Su Mianyue was about to leave, Mu Chen arrived at the barracks. The two of them, who had not seen each other for a long time, sat opposite each other without saying a word.

"It's getting late. Prince Rui will stay here for a while." Su Mianyue could not tell how he felt when he faced Mu Chen. This man loved the original master deeply, but let the original master marry Mu Tinng. Even the throne that he could easily obtain was given up.

Su Mianyue did not know whether Mu Chen had never married a wife because of the original owner. Ever since she came through, Mu Chen had helped her several times, intentionally or unintentionally. Although he tried to hide it, Su Mianyue still felt that he had never cut off the love.

At this moment, Mu Chen's deep eyes made Su Mianyue subconsciously want to avoid it. After a few years, the lazy prince looked much haggard at this moment. He had a temperament that Su Mianyue could not understand, but it could definitely make a woman who had never experienced the world fall for him.

"Why should he know where you are now that you have left?" Mu Chen spoke in a hoarse voice.

"What does Prince Rui have to do with how I live?" Raising the corner of his lips, Su Mianyue pretended to mock him, "King rui is beautiful in front of people, but he can't even follow his own heart. What's the meaning of this? He is also alive. I, Su Mianyue, think that you are more wonderful and interesting than king rui."

"Are you still blaming me?" Mu Chen pursed her lips.

Su Mianyue's heart thumped. She seemed to know too little about the original owner. It seemed that the relationship between the original owner and Mu Chen was not as simple as Biwu said.

Seeing that Su Mianyue did not agree, Mu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "You should have blamed me. I was the one who betrayed you. If I had known your intentions earlier and let you know that I was the one who saved you, you would not have suffered so much and the Su Family would not have been destroyed."

Su Mianyue was surprised to find out what was going on, but his brain was pounding. Many bloody guesses surfaced in his mind, but he didn't say anything.

If what Mu Chen said was true, his "Great love" was the culprit who killed the original owner and the Su Family. But how many people could read the word" love" in it?

Su Mianyue took a sip from the cup and sent the guests away again. Mu Chen took a meaningful look at Su Mianyue who was drinking tea and slowly got up. Before he left the house, he said, "Don't blame me. As you said, I'm not living recklessly. Many things become involuntary because I missed them."

Listening to Mu Chen's cryptic explanation, Su Mianyue opened her mouth to ask a few questions. Finally, she just watched Mu Chen walk out of the camp alone. She and Mu Chen were destined to be impossible, even if the original owner had nothing to do with him.
