Chapter 848: It Hurts Here in My Chest

Yunze and Liu LanAlthough Mo Yunze is the most likely heir to the throne at present, once this happens, he will either be killed by the emperor or have half his life taken away and sent to some remote...Knowing that An Xuetang was not feeling well at the moment, Mo Yunjing looked at her for a moment before ignoring the blood on his body and holding her in his arms.

He reeked of blood, but she could still faintly smell the faint sandalwood scent that clung to him. It was his scent, a fragrance that instilled an overwhelming sense of security in her.

An Xuetang raised her hand to hug him at the waist, a hint of confusion in her eyes. She felt a tinge of loss and despondency emanating from Ajing now.

Mo Yunjing's mood was indeed not good, but he didn't want to say anything to An Xuetang. After all, her mind was so meticulous that if he said more, she would surely be able to guess one or two things.

He knew she had long disliked his elder brother, so if she knew he was going to surrender the city of Bei Jiang just like that to his brother, she would probably stop him.

He could ignore the words of others, but if she stopped him, he would surely be caught in a dilemma.

Just wait until the dust settles and tell her then.

Mo Yunjing thought that way, but he completely underestimated how intelligent and shrewd his wife was.

Besides, the more he tried to hide, the more An Xuetang wanted to know. And with her abilities, finding out wouldn't be difficult at all.

For now, he remained silent and she didn't press him. She could figure it out later.

They held each other for a while, Mo Yunjing gently pushed her away. He raised his hand to gently tuck her hair behind her ear and said in a low, husky voice, "Want to see them off"

Such things were commonplace for him, and he usually didn't feel the need to see someone off. After all, sometimes forcing himself not to care was the only way to go on with a hard heart.

An Xuetang nodded slightly, "Go take a look."

"Okay."

Since she wanted to see it, he went along with her.

Meanwhile, deep in the mountains, the atmosphere between Yunliu and Ninger was a bit tense.

Since being moved to this strange place by that person, the two of them have been trying every means to escape. They both worry about what might happen to their king and queen.

That strange old man appeared out of nowhere, said a bunch of nonsensical things, and then knocked Yunliu and Ning'er unconscious.

By the time the two of them woke up, they were already in this unfamiliar place.

What's worse, this seems to be another formation. Ning'er has looked for it many times, but no matter how she searches, she can't find the exit.

And here there was no day or night, the sky always bright, so they had no way of knowing how long it had been.

Yun Liu's injuries had improved considerably under Ning Er's care, and the two knew it was time to leave.

Ke Yunliu's interactions with Ning'er these past few days had kindled a bit of greed within him. He liked Ning'er, and he knew it, Ning'er knew it too.

Ning'er always just evaded his feelings, never giving any response.

The two had just gone out together to look for an exit, but after searching for a long time, they couldn't find it. After returning, Ning'er continued to decoct medicine for Yunliu.

Looking at Ning'er's back as she boiled medicine for him, Yunliu recalled that these past days Ning'er had been responsible for all his food, clothing, shelter and transportation. He unexpectedly felt a sense of peacefulness in the quiet rhythm of life.

When Ning'er was fiddling with the medicinal herbs, Yunliu walked over in a somewhat manic way. Before Ning'er could react, his hands had already encircled her waist and held her tightly from behind.

Ning'er's whole body stiffened. She knew he was coming over, and she thought he was simply going to help her as before.

But who could have imagined that he would...

After she came to her senses, Ning'er began to struggle, wanting him to let go of her quickly.

The feeling of contentment that came from being able to hold her completely overwhelmed Yunliu's whole body, he couldn't bear to let go at all.

Before, he didn't understand why he cared so much about everything Ning'er did. When he said he wanted to marry her, he convinced himself that it was because he had accidentally seen her body and felt responsible for her.

Later on, he realized more and more that he wanted her, not just out of a sense of responsibility. The so-called responsibility was merely an excuse he used most conveniently.

Ning'er was held tightly, her whole body stiffened, her chest tightened, and she said with a hint of anger, "Yunliu, let me go."

She said nothing, and Yunliu seemed to ignore her completely. He didn't let go, nor did he say a word.

Ning'er did want to push him away hard, but she knew very well that Yun Liu's injuries hadn't healed yet. If she used force, his wounds might burst open.

Because of this, Ning'er didn't use any force. She remained silent for a moment before continuing, "Yunliu, to avoid making things even more awkward between us, please let go of me now."

Yunliu remained indifferent, offering no response.

His warm breath still lingered on her neck, Ning'er felt her body tensing up, to make matters worse, the beating of her heart was so fast and loud in her chest.

She was afraid, afraid that if he didn't let go, he would discover the emotions she had worked so hard to conceal.

Thinking this way, Ning'er started struggling again, her tone becoming even colder, "Yunliu, let go!"

Finally, Yunliu finally spoke up, "Ning'er, tell me, do you have feelings for me too"

"!"

Ning'er was truly afraid he would see through her, and she struggled even harder.

But the more she struggled, the tighter Yunliu held her. He could see that although he was the injured one now, with Ning'er's skill, if she really wanted to push him away, she certainly could have done so.

But Ning'er didn't, she was worried about his body, so she couldn't bear to use force to break free.

Thinking of this, Yunliu's heart was filled with joy, and she clasped her hands even tighter.

Ning'er frowned, before she could do anything, Yunliu suddenly leaned into her ear, "Ning'er, you clearly care about me, don't you Ning'er, can you please not push me away It hurts, my heart here, it really hurts."

"! "

His words, laced with a hint of grievance, completely stunned Ninger, making her forget all about struggling free. Right now, she seemed a little lost in thought.

Yunliu's tone, Yunliu's words, were like a vine, tightly winding around Ning'er's cold heart. What was worse, this vine seemed to have warmth, as if it could warm her heart.

Gradually, the vines seemed to tighten their grip, not only making it difficult for her to breathe but also oozing pain that spread throughout her limbs.

Ning'er thought, maybe if she let him hold her, maybe he would be well-behaved afterward and no longer touch her inappropriately

Was he now just going along with her wishes, and afterward they could return to their old relationship, pretending today never happened

The excuse he had in his mind, he didn't even know if it was to deceive himself, but ultimately, Ning'er did not struggle anymore. She simply let him hold her like that.

Her silence surprised and delighted Yunliu. It seemed his guess was right, she cared about him!

She must really care about herself!

Yunliu almost shouted with glee, but he held himself back.

After holding her quietly for a while, he slowly let go of her, his hands climbing onto her shoulders and turning her around.

Their eyes met, Yun Liu slowly raised his hand and gently touched her eye corner.n.And although he was crying, even though it was just a matter of soothing him, every time he almost got comforted by Shou'er and the others, An An would let out a shrill scream that grew louder and l...
