Mu Zhi came to the door of the main hall, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand. She was a little nervous inside, but it didn't show on her face at all.

Shadow just said that His Highness would only let her in alone.

She looked at the door in front of her and didn't have the courage to open it for a moment.

During the hesitation, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Mu Zhi was startled.

He couldn't help but take a step back, his face seemed even paler.

After Ying Mei came out, she quickly bowed her head and saluted, and looked at the rumored Miss Mu with her peripheral vision.

It’s really better to hear once than once see.

It seems that this rumor is true. The Mu family's legitimate daughter is as beautiful as a fairy, but extremely weak.

"Miss Mu, come in quickly. It's cold outside. His Highness is already waiting inside."

Yingmei looked at Mu Zhi's pale face and felt pity.

She took the initiative to turn sideways, opened the door, and invited her in.

When Mu Zhi heard this, her heart warmed.

There was a slight smile on his face, and the tension in his heart eased a bit.

I walked in. It was very empty inside. There was a study room in front of me. I walked around the study room and stood still inside.

Mu Zhi heard a cough.

She felt nervous and seemed to be seriously ill.

With a trace of worry filling her heart, Mu Jin forgot to salute.

The people inside didn't care.

After Xuan Ming finished coughing, his voice was hoarse and he said, "Miss Mu is here? I'm not in good health, so I won't get up to greet you."

Mu Zhi was stunned for a moment when she heard the magnetic deep voice.

Especially, he actually called himself me.

It seems that the rumors in Xuan Cang Continent are true. Everyone the king calls himself is me.

But if it offends him, or if he doesn't like it, it's all self-proclaimed loneliness.

"Miss Mu?"

Mu Zhi was stunned when she heard another call.

"I, my maid, are here, and Your Highness is ill, so I dare not bother you. I wonder why Your Highness called me here?" Mu Zhi asked in a low voice.

"No hurry, please sit down, Miss Mu." Xuan Ming said slowly.

Across the curtain, the woman opposite has a beautiful figure.

Xuan Ming narrowed his eyes. After not seeing her for many years, the Mu family's legitimate daughter had indeed grown up.

After hearing this, Mu Zhi raised her head and looked around, and saw a low table next to it. There were many snacks on the table, which were piled high. There was a thick, fluffy cushion underneath beside the table.

This?

Is this for her?

"I don't know Miss Mu's preferences, so I asked the palace servants to prepare some at will. Miss Mu, don't dislike it." Xuan Ming said lightly when he saw Mu Zhi staring at the things on the table.

Mu Zhi quickly thanked her and then walked to the table and sat down.

The cushions are extraordinarily soft, and the armrests next to them are actually wrapped in thick fur. When you put your hands on them, they feel extraordinarily soft.

Mu Zhi felt warm in her heart. After many years, he was still so careful and considerate.

Even if he is the leader of a country, he is meticulous in every detail.

"Miss Mu, please feel free to eat on the table." Xuan Ming leaned against the bed, holding a book in his hand. Seeing Mu Zhi sit down, he lowered his head and turned a page.

When Mu Zhi heard this, she also thanked him for his thoughtfulness.

Taking a sip of the tea that had been poured in advance, his eyes lit up.

It's actually sweet tea.

Mu Zhi stared at the exquisite pastries on the side, couldn't help but picked up one and took a bite.

good to eat.

The pain of eating taboos for so many years seemed to disappear at this moment.

Xuan Ming watched her take one bite and didn't want to take another bite. He thought of something and said casually, "Don't worry, Miss Mu. I have already asked the imperial doctor. Miss Mu can eat these foods once in a while. It will not harm the body."

When Mu Zhi heard this, her body stiffened and she couldn't help but raise her head and look in the direction of the sound.

Disappointingly, there were only figures, and through the heavy curtains, no trace of their real faces could be seen.

Mu Zhi came back to her senses a little disappointed and said thank you.

Xuan Ming paused slightly while turning the book. The disappointment in the little girl's words was too obvious.

Think about what she did just now.

Xuan Ming's heart trembled.

But then I suppressed the impulse in my heart and continued to flip through the book.

"Miss Mu must have heard rumors that my body has long been like a dead tree in autumn and cannot rejuvenate. I came to see Miss Mu today because I want to make it clear to Miss Mu so as not to delay Miss Mu's future years."

After listening to Xuan Ming's words, Mu Zhi shook her hand and the cake fell on the table with a thin sound.

She felt bitter.

After so many years, he approached me for the first time, and it was because he wanted to break off the engagement?

Mu Zhi was silent and did not say a word.

Xuan Ming, with his strong internal energy, naturally heard the noise just now, but he seemed not to have heard it.

He looked down at his pale hands and sighed inwardly.

It's not that he wants to break the contract, it's just that this body doesn't have much life to live, and he can't delay her.

Xuan Ming continued in a calm voice, "I will issue an order and make it clear that I, Xuan Ming, broke the contract and went to your mansion to apologize in person. Mu..."

Mu Zhi panicked and stood up unsteadily, trying to keep her voice calm.

"It's all up to Your Highness to make the decision. My daughter is not feeling well, please leave first." Mu Zhi maintained her dignity on her face and walked out quickly.

Ying Mei, who was guarding outside the door, was stunned when she saw Mu Zhi coming out so quickly.

Feeling unwell? Do you have anything to talk about? The conversation is over so quickly?

Seeing Mu Zhi's face getting paler, Ying Mei wanted to step forward and say a few words of concern.

How can I imagine that the little girl didn't even look at him, called the maid and left in a hurry.

Ying Mei could see clearly that Miss Mu clearly didn't want to talk to her.

What did His Highness say to others?

Make yourself unhappy too.

Yingmei watched Mu Zhi walk away, then turned around and went in to clean up.

Shadow was already guarding the bed.

Xuan Ming kept coughing.

"Did you ask her to be escorted out of the palace in a soft sedan?" Xuan Ming asked as soon as he stopped coughing.

Ying Mei bowed and replied respectfully, "The sedan chair is waiting outside the door, but Miss Mu refused and walked to the palace gate."

Xuan Ming was stunned when he heard this.

The little girl looks so soft and weak, but she has such a stubborn temper?

Is she angry?

Yingmei cleared the table and when she walked out, she heard Xuan Ming order to prepare another portion of today's pastry and send it to Mu Mansion.

Ying Mei was puzzled, but still followed the order.

"Did I do something wrong?" Xuan Ming lay on the bed, put his hand on his forehead, and spoke in a low voice.

Shadow marked the book Xuan Ming had just read and put it away.

"Your Highness is doing this for her own good. I think Miss Mu will figure it out herself." Shadow said coldly.

Xuan Ming's face was expressionless, "After all, it affected her. Although there are no other big ideas in our dynasty that are corrupt, it still has an impact on a woman who regrets her marriage."

Although it had an impact, it was better than being with him and becoming a widow just after getting married.

Shadow moved his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort their king.

But he knew that after so many years, the last thing the monarch needed was comfort.

From not accepting it at the beginning, to accepting my condition now.

Xuan Ming was silent for a while, and then said, "Go and take the Grand Tutor into the palace."

Shadow was stunned.

"Miss Mu has been wronged. He will want to settle the score with me and find a good sedan chair." Xuan Ming said lightly.

The shadow didn't move, Xuan Ming opened his eyes and looked at him, "Is there anything else?"

"Your Highness, it's time for you to rest."

The implication is to find the Taifu tomorrow.

Xuan Ming said nothing, just stared at the shadow.

Shadow walked out without hesitation and went to invite the master.
