After Mu Rong Yue left, Jun Ruoran didn't make any movements, but seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, he started chuckling. A voice that was extremely gentle echoed in his ears, "Brother Jun Ru, it's good as long as you live up to your conscience. If one day you're truly unforgivable, then you must use the method you want to end everything."

Someone once told him so.

Then... What was left for him was precisely that flame. She had experienced the most filthy thing in the world, had seen all the darkness in the world, and had finally chosen to end her life in such a bright way.

The Mu Rong Yue today was just like the Mu Ru Yue from before.

When she spoke, no one could refute her. They even wanted to go crazy with her.

However, in the end, reason was still the upper hand. He was the son of the Jun Family, and he had a reason not to go crazy. So, he had only to endure for two more days. As for what happened next? Jun Ruo's gaze was very calm.

When this slave system was completely exposed, it would also be the time when the people from the six families would be beaten by everyone, and they would even have to withdraw from Peony City. He … What could there be after that?

As night fell, the lanterns in Peony City were hung up high in the middle of the garden. Compared to the daytime, they felt even warmer. The prosperity here was completely inversely proportional to the darkness of the slave market.

Because she was worried that the Mayor's mansion would notice her if she went back too early, Mu Ru Yue didn't directly head back to the Mayor's mansion after leaving the restaurant. Instead, she casually strolled around the Peony Garden in the middle of the city.

There were many people walking around here every day. There were even some who stayed at home for a long time like her.

It was as if there was some kind of magic here that caused people to unconsciously forget about their worries and make them feel comfortable. They even wanted to stay here quietly and not do anything anymore. As the peonies flourished, the liveliness in the surroundings seemed to have been cut off from the rest of the world.

No wonder this Peony Garden was so popular. It even became a symbol of Peony City.

Mu Ru Yue sighed in her heart as she sat down on the edge of the flower bed. She closed her eyes to feel the cool breeze and the faint fragrance of peony petals. It was very satisfying.

The City Lord's Mansion was also brightly lit.

The number of guards in the Mayor's Mansion had doubled. They were patrolling the area as if they were worried that a thief would enter.

"Your Highness, isn't this Peony City's lord a bit too excessive? He's simply looking after you like a criminal. Could it be that he wants to rebel?" In a quiet courtyard, Tao Er's voice suddenly sounded.

She looked at the white-clothed man sitting beside her, unable to suppress the rage in her heart. In these two days in the City Lord's Mansion, everything she did was restricted. Even the actions of the crown prince were monitored.

This kind of situation would never happen in the capital. How could they not be angry?

However, no matter how angry he was in his heart, he still couldn't show it on his face. This was because once he showed it, it would be discovered by the City Lord's Mansion.

"What are they thinking about? I'm not interested." Feng Qing's attitude was still very calm. He sat there under the moonlight, dressed in white clothes, looking like an immortal that had descended from the heavens. His pair of cold phoenix eyes would cause people to feel fear when they looked at him.

Her exquisite facial features and her aloof demeanor made people feel that she was cut off from the rest of the world.

Tao Er looked at Feng Qing and listened to his highness' words that seemed to make no difference to the world. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How could His Royal Highness get involved in these disputes? Speaking of which, everything was caused by that Murong Yue. It would be great if she died.

In her heart, Tao Er desperately wished for Mu Ru Yue to die a little earlier.

But on the surface, they could only helplessly persuade their own Highness, "Your Highness, if you don't mind, they will look down on you. You are Tian Xiang, how can you let these people watch over you? "

"If I were to make a move, it would suit their wishes. It would not be wise to alert the enemy. Besides, now is not the time to act. Since leaving the capital, you have lost your usual calm.

"If this continues …"

Feng Qing didn't finish his words, but Tao Er understood that his highness wanted to say something later. If this were to continue, she wouldn't be worthy enough to stay by his side. Ever since the matter of choosing a concubine, everyone had changed.

The ones His Highness could not tolerate the most were those who did not know, and right now, those who stayed by His Highness' side all had their own merits. She had to put her life on the line to get back to His Highness's side, how could she leave again?

The first time he left His Highness' side, at most, he was pointed out, but if it was the second time, then he would really die.

As she thought of this, Tao Er felt a chill run down her spine. Recently, her mind had been disturbed by Mu Ru Yue due to jealousy. That damned woman! Being alive was a disaster! As she thought about it, a trace of killing intent flashed past her eyes.

On the surface, she said obediently: "Your Highness, this servant knows my wrongs. It's because this servant has been too impetuous recently. I hope that Your Highness will forgive me."

Feng Qing only glanced at Tao Er indifferently. Although he didn't know how she suddenly understood, he didn't care. He just hoped that he wouldn't cause any trouble in the future. He stood up and said, "Although we should not alarm the snake with our actions, we must not allow these people to gain an inch more. Otherwise, they might forget who exactly the person living here is."

After Feng Qing said this, he walked out as well. When Peach saw his, she was instantly overjoyed and quickly followed.

At the same time, in the main yard of the City Lord's Mansion. In a two-story bamboo building, the stench of blood spread throughout the room. Inside the room was a wooden bucket filled with blood. Sitting inside the bucket was a young man. The young man's appearance was exquisite and his face was deathly pale. He simply didn't seem like a person.

He was unconscious in this wooden barrel and didn't show any signs of waking up.

At the side, a man in blue watched the entire scene nervously. In his arms, he was holding a woman. This woman was very beautiful, but unfortunately, she was also unconscious, making her look like a doll.

"How is it?"

Qing Xun nervously looked at the person lying on the bed, leisurely eating the grape that the black-clothed old man passed to him, and his heart was already burning with anger. He had never seen such a doctor use a patient's bed for him to rest and let others serve him as if he were the patient.

"Don't be in such a hurry, this isn't your brother's blood after all. It will eventually lose some of its vitality and affinity. An Xin will definitely wake up as soon as possible if she has my herbs in the wooden barrel." White Mirrorjade lazily lay on the bed, speaking indifferently.

"Just when will I be able to wake A'Yue up?" Qing Xun said unhappily.

"Like I said, why be impatient? Although this young man is my reward, he also wants to save a medicinal ingredient that Madam must not lack. You haven't even brought the most important person yet, so how can you let me save Madam? "

As White Mirrorjade spoke, he ate another grape, his face full of smiles.

"As long as you tell me the rules, I will bring the person I need the most right now." Qing Xun promised. This caused White Mirrorjade to be a bit surprised. He was even a bit curious; just how did this City Master capture Mu Ru Yue?

Did he think that Mu Ru Yue was an ordinary woman? Or did he have another way?

White Mirrorjade soon restored his casual demeanor. Whatever the other party did, this had nothing to do with him. He only needed to obtain what he needed.

Thinking this, White Mirrorjade said, "The best time to start is two days. Two days, two days, and a full moon. This is the perfect time to treat my wife." As long as you are absolutely safe, in the future, you and Madam will be together for a hundred years. "

After receiving White Mirrorjade's guarantee, Qing Xun's heart began to calm down. He gently traced the face of the woman in his arms, his expression softening to the extreme. She gently whispered into her ear, "A Yue, I will heal you. In the future, nothing will separate us. You just have to listen to me."
