The team traveled all night and finally entered the capital city half a month later.

That night, the team rested on a hillside dozens of miles away from the capital. The secret guards built a large fire on the ground and surrounded Lu Jiuqing's carriage in the middle, while the others were scattered around.

Lu Jiuqing was sitting by the fire, with no expression on his face. Mo Chengning was sitting next to her, playing with a nine-link ring in his hand.

Ever since Lu Jiuqing became taciturn, Mo Chengning has become much more steady, but he has always been by Lu Jiuqing's side.

Mo Xiao brought the prepared medicine and handed it to Lu Jiuqing: "Drink it while it's hot."

Without blinking, Lu Jiuqing reached out to take the medicine bowl, raised his head and wiped it clean.

Mo Xiao took the empty bowl, took out another piece of dry food and handed it to Lu Jiuqing, saying softly: "I'll just eat this tonight, and I'll prepare something delicious for you tomorrow."

Lu Jiuqing took it silently and stuffed it into his mouth mechanically, without any expression on his face.

She didn't care if it tasted good or not, and she didn't care who gave it to her. She couldn't resist it anyway.

Mo Xiao sat next to her, keeping his eyes on Lu Jiuqing. He saw her expressionlessly stuffing food into her mouth, gradually clenching her back molars.

Mo Xiao came to the capital from Jiangnan holding back a breath of anger.

This kind of Lu Jiuqing is obedient, but like a puppet without a soul.

This is not the result Mo Xiao wants.

When Lu Jiuqing stuffed the cake into his mouth again, Mo Xiao snatched the cake away and said through gritted teeth: "Don't you think it's choking?"

Lu Jiuqing looked at his empty hand, and after a moment of silence, he put his hand down. She didn't say anything, just looked at the fire quietly, as if nothing had happened.

Mo Xiao's fingers holding the cake turned white and he crushed the cake into pieces.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and stood up. After a while, he took another cake and handed it to Lu Jiuqing, along with a water bag.

"Eat a sip of cake and drink a sip of water. Slowly."

Lu Jiuqing took the cake, then listened to Mo Xiao's words, took a bite of the cake and drank a sip of water, and moved very slowly.

Mo Xiao's eyes turned red when he saw Lu Jiuqing like this.

He couldn't help but reached out and touched Lu Jiuqing's hair, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What should I do to you? Will staying by my side make you so painful?"

Lu Jiuqing continued her actions as if he didn't hear Mo Xiao's words at all.

Mo Xiao closed his eyes, retracted his hand, and sat silently next to Lu Jiuqing.

Mo Chengning sat aside, the nine-ring chain in his hand suddenly became boring to him. He raised his hand and threw the Nine Rings away, looked up at Lu Jiuqing beside him, and called out: "Mother."

Lu Jiuqing stopped eating, blinked, and looked back at Mo Chengning beside him. At that moment, her expression became obviously much more vivid.

Mo Chengning smiled and pointed at the cake in Lu Jiuqing's hand: "Mother, is this delicious?"

Lu Jiuqing frowned and did not answer for a while.

Is it tasty? She couldn't taste it at all, maybe she didn't care at all.

Mo Xiao continued: "If it's delicious, I'd like to eat some too."

Lu Jiuqing came back to her senses, frowned and glanced at the cake in his hand, took another bite and ate it, then looked at Mo Chengning: "It's a bit dry, but the taste is okay, Ning Ning, do you want to eat it?"

The smile on Mo Chengning's face became a little thicker and he said with a smile, "I want to try it."
