"I am Mu Jin, the No. 2 secret guard under the command of Gu Hanzhou, the regent of Mobei."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Li and Jiang Xue Ning looked at her. They had guessed that her and Gu Tangli's true identities might not be simple, but they didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Jiang Xue Ning twirled the brush in her hand and narrowed her eyes. "You are number two, so who is number one?"

"Gu Tangli has never lost a battle. She is definitely number one."

Jiang Xue Ning looked at her serious and even proud expression, and laughed angrily, "You are so awesome, should I applaud you and praise you?"

Mu Jin said seriously, "She was only ten years old when she went on her first mission. If she wasn't so powerful, Gu Tangli would have disappeared from the world long ago."

"She really went through a lot of hardships and suffered a lot to have the chance to come to you alive and call you sister."

She thought they must be very good friends, so she could say such things seriously.

"I am sorry for her. I made her suffer so much at such a young age."

"She never blamed you. She has been invincible for so many years. She only cried when she knew you might still be alive." Mu Jin knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, only you can save Tangli now."

Jiang Xue Ning motioned to Jiang Li to help her up, "What happened? Explain it clearly."

Mu Jin said softly, "Mr. Ning San is actually the Regent King of Mobei, Gu Hanzhou. Tang Li came back this time on orders to kill you. But Tang Li has absolutely no such intention. She has survived until now only because of her belief in revenge for the Gu family."

She sighed, "Why did you tell me?"

"We have been controlled by Gu Hanzhou with poison. We have to take the antidote on time, otherwise we will die from the poison. He asked Tangli to meet today. He wants to force Tangli to kill you. There are still seven days before the poison takes effect."

Jiang Xuening frowned. It sounded like the situation was very bad, and time was very urgent. If it wasn't handled properly, something might go wrong.

"Why not tell me earlier so I can have more time to deal with it."

Mu Jin lowered her eyes and did not tell the real reason. Instead, she said, "Tangli should have other plans, but the situation is critical now, so I took the initiative to tell you."

Jiang Xue Ning asked some more questions, and generally speaking, Gu Hanzhou was very powerful in Mobei. In order to appease and win over him, the royal family even granted him the eldest princess in marriage.

Mobei is a country south of the desert, so Gu Hanzhou has always been ambitious to get out. This time he wants to use Gu Tangli to take over Xiangchu.

She didn't know anything else.

Jiang Xue Ning asked curiously, "Are you acting on your own initiative to protect Tangli?"

"We started carrying out missions together a long time ago. It's normal for people like us to only care about ourselves when in danger. Only Tangli never abandoned me once. She saved me many times."

Of course, she gradually grew up, and they protected each other and were the best companions. Someone once said that they were each other's armor and weakness, which was both fortunate and unfortunate.

In the past, they had completed many difficult tasks relying on their trust and tacit understanding of each other. They were each other's armor.

Now, Gu Hanzhou is using her life to control Gu Tangli, and she has become her weak spot.

Mu Jin said, "That's about all I know. For the rest, you can wait until Tangli wakes up and have a good talk with her."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you." Jiang Xue promised, "I will do my best to protect you."

That being said, this is a tricky situation.

Mu Jin left, and Jiang Xue Ning smiled bitterly, "I guessed there was something wrong with her sudden return, but I didn't expect it to be such a big problem."

She felt even more distressed. Gu Hanzhou treated her like this, and she was still pregnant with his child. It was obvious that she must have suffered a lot of injustice behind her back.

Jiang Li comforted her, "She is smart and capable. It is impossible that she has no backup plan or coping methods. Let's talk to her in the morning and see what she says."

"That's all we can do. It's late at night so go to bed early."

Soon the entire palace became quiet and most people fell asleep.

Mu Jin was in the room. She wrote a letter and put it in the box, then wiped her knife again.

Finally, she put a peace amulet in her arms. It was something they had prayed for at the temple before leaving Mobei.

She still remembered that Gu Tangli had asked for a fortune stick for the trip to Hunan and Chu, and the result was a very unlucky fortune stick.

She thought a lot and stood in front of her door for a while, but did not push it open to disturb her.

"You have to be well and be happy. From now on, just be the eleventh in the Gu family, and stop being the number one."

She turned around and walked away without hesitation, her figure quickly disappearing into the night.

This time, she only wanted to be her armor, not her weakness.

The next day, Gu Tangli woke up from a nightmare in a sweat, feeling suffocated.

She dreamed again of the days when she was escaping in the rainforest, a nightmare that was engraved in her soul.

Yuhe, the maid sent by the mansion to serve her, heard the noise and brought her in to help her wash and dress.

After she finished washing up and sitting at the table to eat, she finally realized and asked, "Why hasn't Mu Jin come today?"

Yuhe really hadn't noticed that Mujin was her confidant and didn't have much contact with the maids in the mansion.

"I'll go and take a look. Maybe he hasn't gotten up yet."

Maybe she had a nightmare. She was not in a good mood and had a headache early in the morning. She looked at the breakfast on the table and had no appetite.

She thought to herself that she couldn't delay any longer. She had to solve the problem quickly, but the problem of "antidote" was still difficult.

We can only touch the people that Gu Hanzhou cares about, one life for another, and see if it works.

But Gu Hanzhou was a man who could kill his father when he became ruthless. When he killed his father with his own hands, it was she who handed him the knife.

So this move was very risky and might anger him and backfire. She had never tried it before, and now she couldn't care less and could only give it a try.

While she was thinking, Yuhe came back and reported, "I went to check it myself, and there was no one in the room."

This doesn't seem right, why is there no one here?

Her expression changed and she stood up and went to the room where Mu Jin lived. It was indeed empty, and she took a look at the quilt on the bed which was neatly folded.

There was a wooden box on the table, which was too conspicuous. She walked over and opened the box, and found a jade bracelet inside. Under the jade bracelet was a letter, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

He picked up the letter and glanced at it quickly. His expression changed drastically and he became a little unsteady.

She grabbed the letter in her hand and ran away without caring about anything. Yu He was so anxious that she shouted, "You can't run, girl, you can't run now!"

When she ran over, Jiang Xue Ning had just gotten up and was stretching in the yard.

"What's wrong with you?"

She grabbed her hand and said, "Save Mu Jin..."

"Sister, I beg you to save Mu Jin!"

"Save her..."
