Mu Rong Chun looked at Lu Zi Nuo, and his original expression did not change at all just because he was looked at by the others. He was still cold, and did not have the slightest hint of a smile on his face, as if he was not grateful that Lu Zi Nuo had found him.

Mu Rong Chun nodded slightly towards her. Remembering that the recommendation of An Guang had caused her and the rest of his sisters to step onto an unknown path, he couldn't help but be angry and glare back. Seeing Mu Rong Chun being stunned, he felt a little better.

The ceremony officially began. The highest ruler of the Dacheng, the Emperor, stood at the top of the great hall, dressed in a mysterious crown robe with a crown on his head. The jade bracelet blocked the Son of Heaven's expression, alleviating his serious expression, giving him a sense of nobility and distance.

No one knew the helplessness and desolation in the heart of this nearly fifty-year-old old man. When he ascended to the throne, the Dacheng Empire was already weakened after going through the chaos caused by the Snow Forest. Their borders were not peaceful and the Dacheng Empire was in a predicament.

He didn't want to agree to He Yan's proposal, but he knew that the Dacheng wasn't as peaceful as it was in the past. Even as an emperor, he had no choice but to compromise.

As the emperor of the empire, he had always cared more about his future successor. However, this daughter of his had unknowingly taken root and grew into a soft yet tenacious vine. He never turned back to look at his youngest daughter. This was his eighth daughter, and he didn't even remember the appearance of his mother's consort. However, for the safety of the citizens of the Dacheng, he suddenly remembered that his youngest daughter was already at the age where she would sacrifice herself for the Empire. The old man was already gradually weakening, yet he was trying his best to straighten his back in front of the gazes of reverence or expectation.

Princess Xian An was standing on the right side of the emperor. Right now, he was staring straight ahead with his bright eyes; The long skirt was embroidered with fine golden lines woven with phoenix patterns. It was also decorated with auspicious clouds, symbolizing the noble position of the Dacheng's princess.

She had lived in this crystal tower for fourteen years, and after walking around outside for a bit, she finally understood that she had been ridiculously naive in the past. And it was precisely because she understood that she had instilled courage into her decision. This courage was not to flee or forget fear, but to give her the strength to continue forward even in fear.

Also - Lu Zi Nuo.

She turned her gaze to the weak scholar. Seeing his smiling expression, she silently thanked him in her heart with her lips slightly bent.

In just a short month, that charming and willful little girl who almost wanted to escape and solve the problem had already become a star in the depths of Dacheng's palace. Even though the road ahead was difficult, she still had to continue. Just like now, although she didn't know what kind of movements the evil power in the darkness was making, she would still laugh like a spring flower shaking her body here, for Si Qi.

When they were in Peizhou, they knew that Lu Zi Nuo understood her. Perhaps it was because they were born on the same month of the same year, if it wasn't for this marriage alliance, maybe …

He Yan's Mo Zhai Khan had already entered the Pill Phoenix Sect and was drumming together. Just like that, the night banquet began.

When all the different kinds of performances were about to end, there was still no movement, but Lu Zi Nuo knew that this was the most dangerous moment.

"BOOM!" After the loud noise, the night sky bloomed with brilliant fireworks. Everyone looked up. The banquet had finally reached its climax.

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Lu Zi Nuo didn't bother to stretch his neck out, he stood on his tiptoes to take a look, but only coldly surveyed his surroundings, since it was a rare sight to come here.

When looking on from the side, a green light flashed in the corner of his eyes, as if he was walking towards Mu Rong Yuan. At this time, everyone was paying their respects to Mo Zhai Khan and his group, so no one was paying attention to them. Lu Zi Nuo squinted his eyes, as if he saw a shadow of a person appear in the sky, and then that green light shot towards the front.

That cyan light tore through the sky, emitting a dim light under the yellow light. It was extremely obvious that it was a cyan and black light. One glance was enough to tell that it was poisonous. The azure light was like a meteor as it streaked across the sky in a brilliant manner. At such a close distance, it was too late to be careful. Just as he was about to block it, he saw another slight flash, knocking down the poison dart.

"Ding!" A small sound was instantly drowned by the loud noise. As the firework dispersed, it finally calmed down.

Looking around, he didn't see anything unusual, but Lu Zi Nuo felt his heart jumping. Looking back, he saw that Mu Rong Chun was cold and indifferent. He nodded slightly and raised his wine cup. Lu Zi Nuo could only raise his own wine cup and drink it all in one gulp.

When the song finally ended, Lu Zi Nuo was still at a loss. This was something she had never experienced before, and even though he could imagine the waves that were churning inside, the feeling he was experiencing was after all, different.

Mu Rong Yuan walked over and said: "Let's go to my residence. Di Xian has already gone. We still have to send him off tomorrow morning."

Lu Zi Nuo shook his head, she even suspected that he was in the wrong here, after knowing the royal family's secret for so long, what kind of ending would there be? But in such a big capital, where could he go?

Seeing her silence, Mu Rong Yuan naturally understood her hesitation, and said: "I heard that Mo Zhai Ke Han was attacked when he was on his way to the capital."

Breathing in a cold breath of air, Lu Zi Nuo felt even more regretful. Why did he have to use some responsibility from the beginning to righteously persuade Xian An, wasn't this just pushing him into a pit of fire?

"Let's go." Mu Rong Yuan only looked at her warmly. He had nothing to say and could only follow.

At this time, the Shengjing was already under curfew. When they exited the palace, there were many horse carriages waiting for people, and each of them had a special wind lamp on them.

The one driving the carriage was Song Yi, and beside him was a man wearing a cape. Mu Rong Yuan jumped onto the carriage and extended his hand out towards Lu Zi Nuo, this action caused both Song Yi and the man to be startled, but they did not say anything.

Lu Zi Nuo got on the carriage, and Song Yi took it to leave the palace gate.

Not long after, they arrived at the King Yong Palace located at the Xuan Yang Workshop. Lu Zi Nuo followed Mu Rong Yuan out of the carriage, which was a standard residence, but the withered vines at the side of the walls made people feel hopeful, at least in the spring, the scenery would be different.

Entering the Duke Palace, Di Xian welcomed him, but Mu Rong Yuan said: "Rest early."

Lu Zi Nuo nodded his head, and then followed Di Xian to the courtyard he had arranged beforehand, but when he turned his head, he could clearly see the man's side profile, so he said: "I'm afraid it's too hard to leave now, why not go together with me."

"Sure." Mu Rong Yuan helplessly agreed.

The three of them went into the study room, where Di Xian and Song Yi stood guard.

Upon entering, Mu Rong Chun took off his cape and looked at Lu Zi Nuo: "Why are you staring at me?"
