Traveling through books: trapped in an infinite cycle of injustice

The ambiguous atmosphere just now was broken by the guards who came, and the two of them immediately looked away in embarrassment.

The guard realized that he came at the wrong time, and left in a hurry after saying a few words.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Wei Yunchen hurriedly wrapped the gauze on his hand and retreated to a safe distance, coughing lightly.

"What happened between you and Concubine Ji just now?"

When Yan Mu heard the word "Ji Fei", he thought, could it be 'Ji Feier''s name in this time and space?

"The girl who just came out with me is called Concubine Ji?"

Looking at the expression on Yan Muyi's face, Wei Yunchen probably guessed that she really didn't know Concubine Ji.

"You don't know each other? Then how come you two are together?"

"I passed by and heard someone shouting for help, and then I came in. I found that someone was trying to kill her, so I went over to help."

Thinking that the man was still lying in the room, Yan Muyi took Wei Yunchen's hand.

"When you came to rescue us just now, did you see an injured guard lying on the ground in other rooms?"

"No, after putting out the fire, we did a patrol and there was no suspicious person. However, according to feedback from the guards, there was indeed blood stains in one of the rooms."

Yan Mu thought, could it be that Concubine Ying carried him away? He didn't forget to take the witness away even though he was killing people and silencing them. It seemed that he had underestimated Concubine Ying's IQ.

She didn't know whether she should tell Wei Yunchen about seeing Concubine Ying. After all, she didn't know the full story.

Wei Yunchen saw her hesitating, put down his usual arrogant attitude, and said softly.

"Don't worry, just tell the truth."

Although he couldn't see it with his eyes, it was hard for Yan Muyi to imagine that such a gentle and firm tone came from Wei Yunchen's mouth.

In the end, Yan Muyi chose to tell Wei Yunchen exactly what happened.

"When I came, the masked guard had already taken a knife to stab the girl, so I pushed the guard down from behind, and the guard in turn strangled my neck. At the last moment, the girl stabbed the guard, and I Save a life."

When Wei Yunchen heard this, his face twitched involuntarily, and his face became darker and darker. If he wanted to know who the masked guard was, he would have to cut him to pieces.

Yan Mu paused and continued talking about what happened next.

"Because the masked guard fell to the ground, we took the opportunity to escape. We were attacked by several strong men again. We had no choice but to hide back and devise a plan. We could only find someone to rescue us by pretending to be on fire."

When Wei Yunchen heard this, he was really angry and anxious, with a hint of concern and anger in his tone.

"Why are you always so courageous? If we hadn't arrived in time, would you and Concubine Ji have been burned alive?"

Yan Mu lowered his head and stopped arguing with Wei Yunchen. She knew that she was really making a dangerous move this time. There is no way, no matter what, you will die, and you will be killed if you go out. If you set fire to the house, at least there is a glimmer of hope.

Although Wei Yunchen was very angry, his anger was instantly extinguished when he saw that Yan Mu in front of him looked like a child who bowed his head to admit his mistake.

He couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently stroke Yan Muyi's head. He shouldn't scold her, after all, she had just saved her life from the fire. It was she who risked everything to save Concubine Ji, whom she had never met.

In the past, I always felt that everything Yan Muyi did was intentional. But this time, he completely changed his view of her. It was because he was too prejudiced against her before. In fact, she was kind and witty, and he liked her.

Wei Yunchen's eyes revealed a hint of casual emotion, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Because Yan Muyi couldn't see anything and it was quite unexpected to be touched by Wei Yunchen like this, he coughed lightly to hint to Wei Yunchen.

At this moment, he realized that his unconscious actions were actually...

He pulled his hand back and adjusted his mood.

"By the way, how is Concubine Ji you mentioned doing now?"

"She has been sent back to Qinxin Palace. Doctor Yan will take good care of her."

"Oh......"

Silence fell between the two again.

"Where else do you feel uncomfortable? If not, I will send you back to Qinglin Hall now!"

When Yan Mu heard this, he nodded immediately. She wanted to leave as soon as possible, and didn't want to stay here in embarrassment any longer.

Wei Yunchen supported her all the way back to Qinglin Hall. The two of them were silent along the way. Yan Mu just wanted to return to Qinglin Hall as soon as possible. The indescribable atmosphere between her and Wei Yunchen really made her very uncomfortable.

This journey seemed as long as a century. Fortunately, Yan Muyi's eyes were wrapped with gauze and he could not see Wei Yunchen's expression at this moment. Because of his shyness, his face was flushed from his eyes to his ears, just like a red boy.

Finally returning to Qinglin Hall, Wei Yunchen called Qing'er and Linglong over as soon as he entered the gate.

When the two of them saw Yan Muyi, they rushed forward nervously.

"Mu Yi, what's wrong with you!?"

"Mu Yi, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Wei Yunchen pushed the two of them out, fearing that they would bump into Yan Muyi due to their clumsiness.

Both of them were confused about Wei Yunchen's actions? It was as if Yan Muyi was his property and no one else could touch it.

Yan Mu freed her arm from Wei Yunchen's hand, followed the source of the sound and walked to Linglong and Qing'er. He turned around and bowed his head.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your help."

Linglong and Qing'er were stunned. Before they could react, Yan Muyi pulled them away and turned around.

Wei Yunchen stayed where he was, puzzled by Yan Muyi's actions just now. Is this considered burning a bridge or avoiding suspicion? But the indifference just now poured cold water on Wei Yunchen's heart.

"Mu Yi, what's going on between you and the young master?"

The attentive Qing'er observed the subtle changes between her and Wei Yunchen. And Linglong, who had a big heart, also interjected.

"Yes! What's wrong with you? Why are you covered in paint when you go out?"

Yan Mu told the story of the thrilling scene just now, and both of them were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.

"What did you say? Concubine Ji was assassinated? Who has the courage to assassinate a concubine in the palace? She is the most favored one."

"Concubine Ji? Why haven't I heard of this kind of person?"

Yan Mu had no idea about this concubine who looked exactly like 'Ji Feier'.

Qing'er explained.

"It wouldn't be surprising if you don't know her. She is a new concubine in the palace recently. I heard she is a foreign princess. She is very beautiful. She was favored by the emperor as soon as she entered the palace. Queen Ying and others are very jealous of her."

Linglong also leaned over and gossiped together.

"But she is withdrawn by nature and never talks to other concubines. Except for the emperor, she stays in Qinxin Palace."

At Qing'er and Linglong's place, Yan Muyi roughly learned the information about Concubine Ji. Could it be that she was really Ji Feier, but her behavior at that time felt like she didn't recognize me at all.

"Qing'er, Linglong, can you help me find out how Concubine Ji is doing now? I haven't seen her since I woke up. Wei Yunchen said that Dr. Yan sent her back to Qinxin Palace for treatment."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely help you find out. By the way, you don't even know Concubine Ji, but you risk your life to save people. I want to give you a hero certificate. Why are you so brave for justice?"

Linglong's words were somewhat teasing, and Yan Muyi responded in a joking manner.

"I've always been so courageous and generous with my money! How could you have fallen under my pomegranate skirt?"

"Good on you, Yan Muyi!"

When Linglong heard Yan Muyi teasing her like this, she rushed forward to play with her. Qing'er watched from the side and stopped Linglong.

"Linglong, Mu Yi's eye is still injured, it's almost healed, don't hurt Mu Yi again."

While the three of them were laughing and playing, Concubine Jin walked in.

"I heard that Mu Yi was injured. Looking at the fun you three are having, it doesn't look like he was injured."

During the fight, the three of them were so startled by Concubine Jin's sudden move that they paused their movements, as if pressing the pause button.
