I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 232 Is he confessing his love to her?

After Mu Yuan returned to the study, he was still a little at a loss. He remembered Xin Youran's serious look and her words that she didn't want him to call her "wife" anymore.

Every word was heart-wrenching. Could it be that she had no love for him at all?

Why do you keep pushing him away...

He was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice when Jiemie came before him.

"Your Highness, there is some clue!"

Mu Yuan was startled, and his arm, which was originally holding the table, went limp and he staggered.

Jiemie hurried forward to help him, but was dissuaded by his eyes.

Who has offended His Highness again? Wasn't everything fine when he just ordered the kitchen to cook for Miss Xin?

"Say, what's the matter?"

"You had someone close to Wang Zhanshi spread the news that Qin Zhanshicheng has been convicted and will be executed soon."

"He listened to it and quickly sent a message to his superiors."

"We followed the clues and found that the person he contacted was a clerk in the gold shop."

Mu Yuan pondered for a moment, "It seems that this Zhuo is really not a simple person. He betrayed me right under my nose."

"I have one thing I'm confused about. Didn't Secretary Wang pass on the message through the eunuch in Yongning Palace?"

"Why is it the shopkeeper Zhuo from the Jinpu this time?"

Mu Yuan, with rare patience, explained to Jiemie, "This is the purpose of inflicting hardship on Qin Yinan. It's to let the enemy down so they can reveal more flaws."

"The more relaxed you are, the more unbridled you become."

"Zhanshi Wang was eager to take credit this time, so he didn't wait for Eunuch Liu and went directly to contact the gold shop. I guess this is a way they would contact each other only when they have something urgent to do."

"Find a way to find out the content of their message and get the gold shop clerk to sign and seal it."

"Adding to the evidence of Wang Zhanshi's interactions with Eunuch Liu, the Empress is likely to have been there before the Marquis of Dingguo."

The last time he went to Yongning Palace, didn’t the Queen Mother still want him to get rid of Marquis Dingguo?

I'm afraid I'll disappoint her and feel sorry for the queen.

I don’t know how Xin Youran ate. It seemed like she stayed in the study for too long.

"Anything else?"

Jiemie quickly replied: "No, no."

Mu Yuan was about to leave the study when he suddenly thought of something and stopped. "Tell General Cui to pay more attention to the Dali Temple and ask him to comfort Qin Yinan."

Jiemie was so jealous!

Is it necessary to let Cui Zhanting be in charge of the Dali Temple?

Their Jiying Sect can completely replace them!

But it has indeed been a turbulent time recently, and there are many things to do.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After Mu Yuan left, Xin Youran regretted what she had said earlier. Wasn't that a bit harsh?

She knew it wasn't his fault, just like girls wearing cooler clothes on a hot summer day, that couldn't be a reason for a vulgar person to commit a crime.

I guess he doesn't have many friends over the years, right?

Maybe everyone has the same idea as her...

Thinking about it this way, Mu Yuan was really pitiful. Suddenly, he felt that the delicious food on the table was no longer fragrant...

In any case, they are friends for life and death, right?

Even if they don't become husband and wife, they can still be considered friends for life.

Just as she was thinking this, Mu Yuan had sat down next to her without her noticing, "What's wrong? Why don't you want to eat?"

He was enjoying the food so much before, but now he is poking at the bowl with his chopsticks.

"No, no."

Xin Youran didn't expect Mu Yuan to come back so soon. She hurriedly put down her chopsticks and said with a wry smile, "I, I'm full."

"Well, nothing much, I'll go back first."

Mu Yuan was also afraid that she would ask him again about the nonsense that prevented him from calling her "wife".

He quickly stood up and said, "I'll take you there."

Although Xin Youran had been to private residences many times, she had only been to two or three of them and was not very familiar with them.

Mu Yuan was well aware of this, so he didn't take her to find Leng Yue, but instead led them to stroll around the back garden.

The two of them strolled in the back garden, each with their own thoughts.

In the end, it was Xin Youran who broke the awkward situation. She couldn't keep things hidden in her heart and had been unable to hold it in any longer.

"Mu Yuan, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that just now. I hope you don't take it to heart."

"Don't worry, we've been through so many life and death situations together, and we've already become a revolutionary friendship. I shouldn't stay away from you just because I'm afraid of death."

"That's too unfair..."

"From now on, we will not only be partners, but also comrades fighting side by side!"

Mu Yuan:......

Who wants to be your comrade?

I just want you to be my wife...

"We have identified the person who assassinated you."

Um, isn't this a bit too fast to change the subject?

Maybe he didn't take it to heart at all, or maybe he was the prince, very broad-minded, and a man who would do great things!

"Is it the gold shop's display cabinet?"

Mu Yuan nodded, "Yes, but the person behind this is someone from the palace."

"People from the palace?"

"I've thought about this, but I really can't remember when I've ever offended anyone in the palace."

"We don't even recognize each other, how could there be any deep hatred?"

Looking at Xin Youran's thoughtful little face, she was really simple. The minds of those people in the palace were a hundred times dirtier than hers.

"Perhaps you're right. Anyone close to me will be affected. This time, it was my inconsiderateness that brought you fatal disaster."

"Sorry……"

Uh, what's going on?

The Crown Prince, who always thinks highly of himself, was apologizing to her and looked very guilty.

Xin Youran couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and shake his shoulder to comfort him. "I told you, this isn't your fault. It's all the fault of those bad guys."

"We agreed to fight side by side, so let's not feel that one of us owed the other anything."

Mu Yuan seemed to be able to feel the warmth of her palm through her clothes, and couldn't help wanting more, so he hugged her small body and rested his head on her shoulder.

Sure enough, her whole body was warm, making people want to get closer.

"Then can I still call you my wife..."

"My mother passed away when she gave birth to me. For all these years, I've never had anyone I wanted to get close to, except you, my wife. You don't know how much pain I felt when I heard you say that I could no longer call you my wife..."

"Am I destined to be a lonely person in this life?"

"I'm so afraid of losing you, it's worse than death..."

Ah this...

What’s going on with Mu Yuan?

Are you confessing your feelings to her?

But he just hung on her like a big injured dog...

Putting aside other things, it is impossible not to reject him.

Xin Youran quickly raised her hand and patted his head, comforting him, "You, you can call me whatever you want."

"Don't think too much. There must be a lot of people who like you. Maybe you just haven't discovered it yet."

"You are so handsome, responsible and capable."

You are so good at acting like a spoiled child. In the future, there will be three thousand beauties vying to love you.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Brother, you are such a big guy, can you please stand up first? Her waist can’t support it!

Xin Youran was about to say a few more words of comfort to him when she suddenly heard a "splash", as if something fell into the water. She was so scared that she pushed Mu Yuan away.

When I turned around, I saw Jixue and Lengyue...
