For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Mu Junqi looked at Mo Xiao Li and said expressionlessly, "Are you okay?"
Perhaps it was because Mo Xiao Li felt resentment at that moment, so he didn't notice the concern in Mu Junqi's eyes. He replied in a low voice, "I am fine. You should rest." After saying that, he walked out without paying any attention to Mu Junqi's calls from behind.
Watching Mo Xiao Li leave, Mu Junqi smiled and said to the maid beside her, "You all go find some healing medicine."
After the maids left, Mu Junqi helped Yun Cheng to a nearby chair and sat down. Then she said, "Actually, there are some things I've wanted to tell you for a long time. It's just that due to various reasons, I haven't been able to say them. Now, taking this opportunity, I want to have a good talk with you."
Yun Cheng smiled helplessly and couldn't help but reach out to gently stroke her hair. After lowering his hand, he said, "Actually, I knew that keeping you locked up in Nanyang wasn't a long-term solution. But I always thought that as long as I treated you well, you could forget about him. However, now I realize I was wrong; I could never truly enter your heart." He smiled helplessly again and looked at Mu Junqi. Seeing her guilty expression made him comfort her instead: "Don't feel guilty; this is what I deserve after all. I came too late."
"Perhaps it was a mistake from the beginning, but now I realize that meeting you in this life is truly a fortunate thing. Despite everything that has happened afterward, at this moment, I do not blame you at all," Mu Junqi said softly.
Just then, the maid brought over the gauze and hemostatic medicine. Mu Junqi immediately took the tray and said to Yun Cheng, "Come here quickly; let me stop the bleeding." Saying this, she pulled Yun Cheng in front of her.
She gently wiped his injured area while slowly blowing on it and occasionally asking, "Does it hurt?"
Throughout this time, Yun Cheng remained silent, only looking at her with a smile that revealed his affection and pity. However, Mu Junqi did not pay attention to any of this and continued her actions.
Unknowingly, perhaps due to Mu Junqi's illusion, she felt that Yun Cheng was different from usual at this moment. Suddenly he spoke up: "How will you choose in the future?"
Mu Junqi was silent for a moment. After treating the wound, she finally looked up at him and said, "Actually, when I was in Nanyang, I dreamed of coming back—not for any other reason but because I was worried about Han Zhe's health. However, once I got here and learned that he was safe and sound, even though I still really wanted to see him in my heart, I just didn't dare to go see him. I was afraid that after such a long separation between us..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Yun Cheng interrupted her: "Although I know you're worried right now, this matter isn't significant. What’s most important now is that the people of the nation believe you have already passed away. With your sudden appearance now, how will everyone view Mo Xiao Li? That is what matters most."
Suddenly, an angry male voice came from outside, "You don't need to worry about these matters. I have already taken care of everything. I have ordered the reinstatement of the Empress, and of course, this Empress is none other than Mu Yueqing. Although this may not be fair to Mu Junqi, my Empress is no one but you."
Upon hearing his words, Yun Cheng looked at him and said, "Is this fair to Mu Junqi?"
"Fairness is determined by me. Although I know this may be somewhat unfair to Mu Junqi, everything stems from you. You never clarified what happened that day with me; what right do you have to argue with me?" Mo Xiao Li said angrily.
Yun Cheng, unrestrained, replied, "Even though you are the emperor of Western Yan, I am not afraid of you at all. If it weren't for your incompetence that day in failing to protect her, would so many things have happened afterward? You claim to love her, yet in the end, you refuse to believe her words. As soon as someone frames her, you won't trust her— is that what you call love?"
Beside them, Mu Junqi could no longer hold back and shouted, "Stop talking!"
Both of them paused and turned to look at her. Mu Junqi continued, "This matter may be in the past, but..." She looked at Yun Cheng and continued, "No matter what happened before, I am back in Western Yan now. Perhaps you really should reveal what happened that day."
Mo Xiao Li remained silent on this matter, but Yun Cheng suddenly smiled and then looked at Mu Junqi and said, "I know you've been wanting to know about this for a while. I didn't want to tell you before because I was worried you'd want to come back. Now that everything has been settled, I will tell you what happened that day."
The scene shifted back a few months.
That day, when Yun Cheng's subordinate reported that Mu Junqi intended to use herself as bait to uncover those hiding in the shadows, he sensed something was going to happen. Therefore, he dispatched many people to follow and investigate.
Because of this, he learned their intentions. Yun Cheng thought this might be an opportunity; however, just as he was preparing to deal with those people, another group suddenly appeared from somewhere else. Their goal was also to take Mu Junqi away. It was at this moment that Yun Cheng realized how dangerous the current palace was. He worried something might happen to Mu Junqi and thought perhaps he could take this chance to bring her to Nanyang.
Thus, he sent someone from Nanyang to prepare for immediate action. Sure enough, that night such an incident occurred. When he saw Mu Junqi fall into the hands of those people, he wished he could kill Mo Xiao Li right then and there— professing love for her yet putting her in such a dangerous situation.
However, at that time they had only sneaked in and could not reveal themselves; they could only watch helplessly as Mu Junqi was injured in that person's grasp. Just as it seemed someone was about to kill her, Yun Cheng could no longer care about anything else and rushed down to subdue that person. Perhaps due to the suddenness of his action, the person had not even realized what was happening before it was too late.
Mu Junqi saw that scene and screamed in fright. As Mo Xiao Li appeared around the corner, he immediately picked up Mu Junqi and carried her away.
However, he didn't know what happened afterward, nor did he have any idea who had managed to throw the dummy there in such a short time and made it look like she had died tragically.
In fact, after that day, Yun Cheng wanted to bring her back, but he never expected that because Mo Xiao Li failed to recognize her in time, he selfishly took Mu Junqi to Nanyang.
Upon hearing his words, the expressions of the two people across from him turned somewhat grim.
