Mu Yanqing suppressed the thought that made her scream wildly and exhaled heavily.

"Mu Cang secretly went to the Prince's Mansion for me and found the dungeon with a large number of weapons and dragon robe. He fled back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with wounds. He just told me what he saw and was caught by the Prime Minister. Xie Hanli and his men kidnapped him. When I found him regardless of the obstacles, he had already...! That was the first time he had spoken to me in fourteen years, and it was the last time!"

When Helian Jingyu saw Mu Yanqing holding back tears and talking about Mu Cang, his eyes moved slightly.

"You said he went to the Prince's Mansion secretly for you? What's the reason?"

"My sister married Xie Hanli for more than two years and did not give birth to a child. Xie Hanli told Master Mu on this ground that he wanted to marry me as a concubine. He also said that we two sisters were real sisters after all, and would not have disputes over favor." Mu Yanqing looked murderous when she mentioned Xie Hanli.

"You don't want to marry the prince, so you let Mu Cang kill him, right?" Helian Jingyu knew that he was right when he saw Mu Yanqing's expression froze.

"How could I marry him? The prince is gentle and elegant in front of the emperor, but no one behind his back knows that he is cruel and vicious. Although he has never made a concubine for two years and has never given any title to a woman, there are countless women who have been ruined by him! Is there little to be a scattered thing in the prince's mansion? The unjust souls who died in his hands can fill the entire prince's mansion in the middle of the night." Mu Yanqing held her knees with her hands and her eyes were hanging down.

"You know that your father and the prince are in the same group, but you still ask Mu Cang to kill the prince?"

Mu Yanqing raised Shui Yingying's gaze and looked at Helian Jingyu, "Xie Hanli has tried to treat me more than once, and she has been stopped by Mu Cang every time. If Mu Cang hadn't been by my side to protect me, I would have been bullied by Xie Hanli long ago!"

"Isn't this Mu Cang sent by your father to monitor you? He knew that Mu Xiangye intended to use you to tie the prince's heart, so why would he still go against the prince?" Helian Jingyu saw Mu Yanqing's eyelashes trembling slightly, "Has he fallen in love with you?"

Mu Yanqing widened her eyes and looked at Helian Jingyu, then shook her head vigorously, "Every lady in the prime minister's mansion has secret guards around her. Because the secret guard's duty is to protect the lady he wants to protect, he is always inseparable from the people he wants to protect. But after all, there is a difference between men and women. The secret guards around the ladies were selected and trained by Mu Xiangye from many boys when they were very young, and they were... "Mu Yanqing bit her lips and couldn't continue to say it.

Helian Jingyu raised his eyes, "You mean, they have all been passively used?"

Mu Yanqing nodded, "Mu Cang has been with me when I was three years old. In addition to practicing martial arts, he followed me to protect me. It was because I was afraid when I thought of marrying into the Prince's Mansion. One night I dreamed that I was cruelly abused by Xie Hanli, and I woke up and became seriously ill. Because of protecting me, Mu Cang became the thorn in the prince's side. The prince wanted to kill him, so we thought to take action first! If it weren't for me, Mu Cang wouldn't go to the Prince's Mansion to assassinate. If he hadn't told me the prince's secret to come back and left Suocheng, he wouldn't have been caught by Master Mu to give it to the prince."

When Helian Jingyu saw Mu Yanqing crying silently, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, "You should be glad that there is someone in this life who is willing to protect you with your life. This is your happiness!"

"No, I don't want such happiness. I would rather Mu Cang live! If I marry the prince, nothing will happen. Mu Cang is only nineteen years old, and he shouldn't be cruelly killed by those people." Mu Yanqing grabbed Helian Jingyu's hand, her hands were cold and trembling.

"Do you like him?" Helian Jingyu felt her sadness, and he felt uncomfortable being grabbed by her hands. Such intimate contact with a woman made him uncomfortable.

The sad smile on Mu Yanqing's face was even worse than crying, "He has been protecting me from the age of three to the age of seventeen, for a full fourteen years. Although he never speaks, I know he will not harm me. He clearly sent Mr. Mu to monitor me and protect me, but behind his back he has always been my good brother."

"Good brother? Do you think he is the elder brother? I can understand such a brother-sister relationship!" Helian Jingyu suddenly remembered the Yu Yaorao, who had several children in Qingfeng Village who had not lost his vitality.

It's been eight years since she met her at the age of fifteen, and later missed it, and then met again. The initial love and love has now all turned into brother-sister relationships. Although she can't be a couple, she can always hear her call him brother. He feels enough and he is very happy.

"I have never seen my mother since I was born. I heard from my sister that my mother died suddenly less than half a year after I gave birth to me. Master Mu has always had ambitions. The legitimate daughters and concubines in the prime minister's mansion have to receive cruel training since childhood, and they have to be punished if they are inferior to each other. His purpose is very simple, to stuff both his son and daughter into the royal family."

Helian Jingyu suddenly became interested in this Xiangye Mu, "Put into the royal family?"

"My son married the princess and princesses, and her daughter married the prince. Whether she was a concubine or a concubine, she always wanted to push her daughter into the fire pit!" Mu Yanqing's voice was cold when she mentioned Mu Xiangye.

"Why didn't Mu Cang listen to Mr. Mu and guard you with a decisive attitude? Since he has physical defects and cannot like you with a man's body, what purpose does he have for you?"

"Please don't say Mu Cang's feelings for me so badly. He has no purpose to me. He just wants me to be happy. When he was twelve years old, he became obsessed with practicing martial arts. Master Mu gave up and let someone throw him into the mountains to fend for himself."

"What then?" Helian Jingyu found that he was indeed bored and was so passionate about other people's housework.

"I was only ten years old at that time. Mu Cang had been with me for seven years and he cared about me more than anyone in the mansion. I knew he was thrown into the mountains and secretly ran out of the prime minister's mansion and ran to the mountains to find him alone. That night it started raining heavily on the mountain. I was cold and afraid. I searched for him in the mountains for a long time and fell down the hillside. Mu Cang was thrown down the hillside. He was cold all over and I dragged him to a stone cave beside him to hide from the rain. When the rain stopped, Mu Cang woke up, but I fainted!"

"You are very kind!" Helian Jingyu looked at Mu Yanqing's face carefully for the first time. Her face was very small, but her eyes were very big, and her pale face set off her lips. No wonder Xie Hanli, the shameless person who was the prince, wanted to marry someone else's sister after marrying her sister. This Mu Yanqing does have the capital to be a disaster.

Mu Yanqing closed her eyes when she recalled, and her long eyelashes looked like two small brushes.

"When I woke up, Mu Cang had already set up a fire in the cave. He didn't say a word, but wrote a few words on the ground with branches. He said, 'Mu Cang's life is the lady'! From then on, Mu Cang was truly loyal to me wholeheartedly. He often wrote on the ground with branches and told me that there was only one master, Mu Yanqing!"

"I don't know what to say to comfort you, so I won't say anything!" Helian Jingyu found that the deal he took on was a bit tricky. He felt uncomfortable just by listening to others' stories. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Do he feel sorry for this girl? Or is it a pity that Mu Cang died?

Mu Yanqing wiped away tears with her hands and looked at Helian Jingyu, "I always thought he could not speak. Until he was seriously injured and ran back from the Prince's Mansion to tell me the secret of the Prince's Mansion, I realized that he could speak, but his voice was hoarse as if he had been cut through his vocal cords by something. Master Mu was really cruel. When those secret guards were very young, they not only made them lose the qualification to be men, but also hurt their voices. The Prime Minister's Mansion is like the Prince's Mansion!

Helian Jingyu stood up, "I know everything, you have a good sleep! It has aroused so many sad things for you, sorry!"

Seeing Helian Jingyu leaving, Mu Yanqing suddenly jumped out of the bed and grabbed his arm tightly, trying to say something, but her lips trembled for a few times and didn't say it.

Helian Jingyu lowered his head and saw Mu Yanqing looking at him with a pair of begging eyes. He moved his brows, "What's wrong?"

Mu Yanqing grabbed his arms tightly with both hands, "Can you not leave?"

Helian Jingyu's eyes widened a little, feeling a little surprised by her boldness. There were only two women who had teased him in his life, one was Yu Yaorao, and the other was the girl in front of him who would go crazy at some time.

"What do you want to do to me?" Helian Jingyu was silent for a long time and suddenly squeezed out a sentence.

Mu Yanqing's lips were half open, as if she was scared by him, "You... don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that!"

"What do you mean?" Helian Jingyu glanced at Mu Yanqing's hands that were holding his arms tightly, "If I want to leave, do you want to use a strong one?"

...

Mu Yanqing let go of her hands as if she was scalded, and the cold ground was under her feet. She felt that she was really crazy. She had been protected by Mu Cang for so many years, and she forgot that not all men were as simple and desireless as Mu Cang.

"I'm sorry, I'm just afraid. I would rather be crazy now and never wake up. Because as soon as I close my eyes, I will see Mu Cang die in front of me. He was roasted to death by them. I saw those people cruelly passing through her body with wood and put him on the fire. I heard his screams and wailing. I smelled the burnt smell of my soft body. I wanted to rush over to save him but was knocked unconscious. Mu Cang died so miserably. He should have run away and should not come back. It was me who harmed him, and I who harmed him!"

Mu Yanqing hugged her shoulders with her hands and shrank into a ball. When she was full of regret and pain, a powerful and warm arm wrapped around her shoulders. Before she could react, she fell into a hug as soon as she exerted force.

Helian Jingyu felt that he shouldn't have made a deal with Xie Hanyu. This deal made him feel that he had lost. He was a little at a loss when he met such a girl who would die if she was not crazy.

"I stayed!"
