Chapter 561: Acting Privately
Su Ruoxi and Mu Zihan carefully analyzed the structure of the underground palace.
By the time things were settled, it was already the middle of the night.
Mu Zihan told her that after solving Mu Ziran's big trouble, they would go to the underground palace together and open the door of the underworld.
This night, perhaps because she was too tired, Su Ruoxi didn't sleep well.
She had a long nightmare, and the scene in the dream was exactly the same as what she had seen on the wordless monument.
When she woke up from her sleep, it was already dawn outside.
Mu Zihan had already gone to the morning court, so when she woke up, she was the only one left in the bed.
"Wan'er!"
Su Ruoxi wiped the sweat on her forehead and called Wan'er.
Wan'er, who had been waiting outside the door, heard Su Ruoxi's voice, so she immediately went to the side hall to prepare hot water and bring it in.
"Why did Niang Niang wake up early today? Did you not sleep well? ”
Wan'er put down the washing water and waited for Su Ruoxi to dress.
Su Ruoxi rubbed her forehead, which was a little painful, and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"The hour is not yet over."
"Hmm!"
Su Ruoxi calculated, and it won't be long before Mu Zihan will go down to the morning court.
Last night, Mu Zihan told her that he had locked the den where Mu Ziran was hiding, and was ready to personally lead troops to exterminate these thieves today.
Originally, Mu Zihan asked her to wait for news in the palace, so she didn't have to go with her.
But last night's nightmare made her feel very uneasy, so she was ready to wait for Mu Zihan to leave the palace after the morning court.
"Wan'er, find a set of clothes for the palace to wear when you leave the palace."
"Is Niangniang going out of the palace? Does the emperor know? ”
Wan'er asked curiously, Su Ruoxi thought about it carefully, and felt that Mu Zihan might not agree to let her accompany her.
After all, this time it is to exterminate the anti-thieves, not to play in the mountains and rivers, and there is a great risk.
So, being reminded by Wan'er like this, Su Ruoxi decided not to go out of the palace with Mu Zihan, but quietly followed by herself, not letting Mu Zihan know.
"This palace is just going out of the palace to see Aunt Yun, you don't have to tell the emperor!"
Su Ruoxi casually found an excuse, just so she could go outside the palace first and sit at Aunt Yun's.
"Good! Wan'er, let's change my mother's clothes! ”
Soon, Su Ruoxi was ready, and after letting Wan'er arrange the carriage, she left the palace from the side gate.
However, she did not take Wan'er with her, and told Wan'er that if the emperor came to look for her, she would tell the emperor that she would go to Aunt Yun.
Coming out of the palace gate, Su Ruoxi asked the coachman to go straight to Flower Street.
I haven't been to Xueyue Pavilion for more than a year, and Xueyue Pavilion is still the same, and business is tepid on weekdays.
Su Ruoxi went straight in to find Aunt Yun, and Aunt Yun looked surprised when she saw her, and excitedly took her hand and took her to her room for a secret talk.
"If it's a pity, I haven't seen you for more than a year, how are you doing? I heard that you have been in a coma for more than half a year, and Aunt Yun is very worried about you, but she can't go into the palace to visit. ”
"Now that I can see you again, Aunt Yun is really happy in her heart."
Aunt Yun stroked Su Ruoxi's cheek and looked at her as if she was looking at her own daughter.
Su Ruoxi took Aunt Yun's hand and briefly talked about what she had experienced in the past year.
Aunt Yun was terrified when she heard this, but she had experienced so much.
"By the way, Aunt Yun, I saw Lan'er."
"She is in Cangyue, doing things for Xuanyuan Yumo, she is doing well, Aunt Yun doesn't have to worry."
When it came to going to the Heavenly Domain, Su Ruoxi briefly talked about Nolan's situation.
At the mention of Nolan, Aunt Yun's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Alas! This child has also suffered a lot since he was a child. If it's a pity, Lan'er is young and ignorant, if there is something that offends you, I hope you can look at Aunt Yun's thin face and don't worry about her. ”
Su Ruoxi nodded and explained, "Aunt Yun, you are too worried. ”
"Although Lan'er does things for Xuanyuan Yumo, Lan'er is still very obedient and has never hurt me, and I treat her like a sister."
Knowing her attitude, Aunt Yun was also a lot more relieved.
The two have been chatting and talking about a lot of things, and Su Ruoxi has also learned some useful information.
It wasn't until the middle of the day that Su Ruoxi saw Mu Zihan's team, so she said goodbye to Aunt Yun and secretly followed behind Mu Zihan's team.
She knew that Mu Ziran's den was not far from the imperial city, and in a remote mountain forest, it only took a day to rush over.
Mu Zihan chose to set off at this time, probably because he wanted to make a sneak attack in the middle of the night and wipe out Mu Ziran's people.
Su Ruoxi followed very carefully all the way, afraid that Mu Zihan would discover and expose her whereabouts.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Mu Zihan stopped to rest on a flat ground.
Su Ruoxi hid in a tree and saw a small river not far away, so she planned to go over and get some water.
Who knows, when she just finished taking the water and turned around to leave, she bumped into Mu Zihan's body head-on.
Seeing Mu Zihan, Su Ruoxi was so frightened that the water bag fell to the ground.
"Zihan, you ......"
Looking at Mu Zihan's appearance, it seemed that he had known that she had followed.
Mu Zihan picked up the water bag, handed it to Su Ruoxi, and said with a smile: "Wan'er told me that you went out of the palace to find Aunt Yun, and I guessed that you would definitely follow behind me." ”
"I've followed me so far, you shouldn't let me go back again, right?"
Su Ruoxi asked tentatively, she didn't want to run so far in vain.
Mu Zihan pinched Su Ruoxi's nose helplessly, and sighed: "I really can't do anything about you!" ”
"You can go with you if you want, but you have to wait in a safe place, you can't put yourself in danger, understand?"
Su Ruoxi smiled and said without hesitation: "Then wouldn't it be safe for me to follow you?" ”
At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun just shone on Su Ruoxi's face, making her smile look extraordinarily good.
Mu Zihan was a little fascinated for a while, because he hadn't seen her smile like this for a long time.
"You can't follow me."
"Why? Do you want to go into battle yourself? Su Ruoxi asked guessingly.
Mu Zihan nodded, "This time, I want to have a complete break with Mu Ziran!" ”
"Therefore, if you have to protect yourself well and follow me, it will only be more dangerous."
Originally, his initial idea was to send Su Ruoxi back to the palace, after all, this time the situation was serious, and there could be no sloppiness.
But when he saw Su Ruoxi, his heart suddenly softened.
"I see! Zihan, you don't have to worry about me, I'll take care of myself! ”
If Mu Zihan was distracted because of her following, she would be even more worried.
The purpose of her insistence on coming with her was that she was afraid that Mu Zihan would fall into a trap or be injured and poisoned, and she would be by her side, at least she could help him heal.
Mu Zihan naturally understood Su Ruoxi's intentions, so he relied on her.
