I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 236: Is the drama a bit too much?

Jiemie told Mu Yuan the urgent news from Jixue.

"Your Highness, there's news from Jixue that Xueying is going back to [Luoyu] to accept the bounty."

Mu Yuan was practicing calligraphy when he paused and completely ruined a piece of good calligraphy.

"Why is it so sudden?"

Aren't you waiting for news from him, ready to catch [Luo Yu] in one fell swoop?

"Where is she?"

"Your Highness, we are having dinner at Zuixianlou right now."

Mu Yuan walked out of the palace in a somewhat panicked manner. Jiemie couldn't help but remind him, "Your Highness, this is an extraordinary period. You should try to reduce your outings."

The Queen's recent behavior clearly shows that she is desperate. We should act with caution at this time and not leave any loopholes for the other side to exploit.

Mu Yuan ignored him and quickly left the palace and headed for Zuixian Tower.

Jiemie knew that as long as His Highness wanted to do something, even His Majesty would not be able to stop him...

However, when Mu Yuan arrived at Zuixianlou, Xin Youran had already gone far away. Ji Xue was delayed for a while because of paying the bill, and just as she chased out, she ran into Mu Yuan.

"Your Highness, Miss Youyou is already on her way to [Falling Rain]."

Mu Yuan frowned slightly, "Lead the way."

Ji Xue quickly understood and explained the whole story to Xin Youran on the way to chase him.

"Your Highness, Miss Youyou went to the gold shop today and learned that the incense bead bracelet she ordered from the gold shop was already given to Ningxiang Pavilion by Shopkeeper Zhuo. She then went back to Ningxiang Pavilion and realized that all her hard work had been in vain for someone else."

"She was so angry that she went to the restaurant to drink. She decided not to trust others anymore and wanted to start her own business. She went back to [Falling Rain] to accept the bounty in order to raise the money needed for the shop..."

Mu Yuan felt helpless. Why didn't she tell him that she had no money?

When something happens, why can't I think of him...

The original plan was to accuse Xin Youran, but after catching up with her, I found her standing there with a confused look on her face and tears in her eyes. I felt so soft-hearted.

Without caring about anything else, he held her in his arms and asked, "Are you thinking of something sad?"

"Why are you still crying?"

Xin Youran wiped the corners of her eyes hurriedly. Yes, isn’t it just that Mu Yuan is going to take a concubine? Why is she crying?

Realizing her own loss of composure, she pushed Mu Yuan away.

"Someone is going to be the Crown Princess, why are you so close to me?"

After these words came out of her mouth, Xin Youran cursed herself in her heart, saying that she was so useless!

We agreed to cut ties and live our own lives!

I really want to bite off my tongue. Can it be salvaged if I say she has lost her memory?

Xin Youran turned her back, not daring to look at Mu Yuan, and kept repeating in her heart: Xiao Yueyue, Xiao Yueyue, can you come quickly!

Little did they know that Leng Yue had already been sent away by Ji Xue...

"My lady, is this the reason why you are so sad that you are crying?"

Xin Youran: ? ? !

"Madam, can you give me a chance to explain?"

What is there to explain? They are not really husband and wife, so what is there to explain?

Unmarried men and unmarried women.

Mu Yuan turned to her again and saw that her face was flushed. She must be shy.

"Ma'am, do you want me to carry you to the carriage?"

Xin Youran: ???

What kind of top-level understanding is this?

Before she could utter a word of rebuttal, he had already picked her up and carried her to the carriage that had been prepared early in the morning as quickly as possible.

"No, Mu Yuan, when did you learn to talk to yourself and force others to do things?"

"I'm asking you a question, stop pretending to be deaf and dumb."

"This is on the street! Don't I have any dignity?"

After getting on the carriage, Mu Yuan didn't say anything. He just watched Xin Youran get angry at him quietly.

Xin Youran saw that after saying so much, this person didn't respond a single word, and his punches were like hitting cotton. It was really boring!

After Mu Yuan saw that she had calmed down, he poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Are you thirsty, ma'am?"

"Drink some water to moisten your throat."

"you!"

It was the first time that Xin Youran discovered that Mu Yuan had such a rogue side.

But looking at the steaming tea with a fragrant aroma, I swallowed unconsciously. My throat was really dry.

Without hesitation, he took the cup and drank from it in big gulps.

Mu Yuan had prepared a handkerchief early and handed it to her the moment she finished drinking her tea.

Xin Youran handed him the teacup, took the handkerchief, wiped her mouth, and returned it.

The two of them moved in perfect harmony, like an old married couple who had long been accustomed to each other.

Seeing that the time was right, Mu Yuan quickly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "The matter of the gold shop has been investigated. There is something fishy about Shopkeeper Zhuo. He has been taken away for questioning."

"It's my fault that you lost money."

"This is a little gift from me, I hope it can make it up to you."

It seems that the group of people who assassinated last night were really related to Mu Yuan.

But she was indeed wrong. She did not keep her eyes open and judge people well, which is a big taboo in the business world.

Seeing that Xin Youran was hesitant to accept the banknote, Mu Yuan continued, "My lady, I didn't sleep all night last night. I always feel like I owe you something. I hope you will accept it, otherwise I will be unable to sleep or eat..."

Mu Yuan looked tired, and if you looked closely, you could see the dark circles under his eyes.

Uh, has this become a problem for him?

"No, no, I have a big problem too. The lack of money is only temporary. Once I go to [Falling Rain] to accept a bounty, I'll have money."

"This isn't your fault, don't dwell on it."

Xin Youran patted Mu Yuan's shoulder as she spoke. No, how could this be considered as her comforting him?

This slap didn't matter. Mu Yuan started coughing like crazy, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. Then he covered his mouth with the handkerchief she had used, and then there was blood on the handkerchief...

Xin Youran witnessed all this and was stunned for a moment. "No way, Mu Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Is time running out?"

As he spoke, he lifted his wrist and felt his pulse. "That shouldn't be the case. Judging from your pulse, the Ice Soul Poison has been cured, and your pulse..."

Before she finished speaking, her brows furrowed. Her pulse, which had been fine just now, now became extremely disordered.

"No, what's going on? Have you asked Doctor Qin to take a look?"

He is vomiting blood and his pulse is disordered. Could it be that her predictions are right?

Seeing this, Mu Yuan quickly pulled his wrist away, "It's okay..."

"Madam, won't you even agree to my small request?"

It seemed that if she didn't accept the banknote, Mu Yuan might die in front of her in the next second.

"Promise, promise!"

"Don't worry, you'll be fine. Consider these as your shares. When I become rich, we'll split it equally."

Xin Youran casually took the stack of banknotes and hurriedly supported Mu Yuan. "Let's go get Doctor Qin to take a look. Vomiting blood is no small matter!"

Seeing her so nervous, Mu Yuan's heart began to beat fast. Was she acting a little too much?
