In the capital, after several days of dredging, the floods have receded.

Mo Jingchun has been busy since he came back that day, keeping the prices of food and medicinal materials within the normal range, and not allowing people in Mo's shop to increase prices.

Mo Jingchun was surrounded by people as soon as he came out of Mo's rice shop that day.

It's those people from other shops who want to make money from the national crisis, so they have to raise prices.

However, Mo's store refused to raise prices, causing people to only go to Mo's store to buy. This caused them heavy losses. How could they not hate it.

And it was organized by a woman, which made them even more angry.

So they got together in anger and prepared to make trouble for Mo Jingchun. They just thought that if Mo Jingchun was a weak woman, if he frightened her, she would not confront them.

Mo Jingchun was indeed frightened. She had never encountered anything like this before. Several big men were holding sticks and staring at Mo Jingchun fiercely.

Mo Jingchun said in horror: "What are you going to do?"

One of them said: "Humph, Miss Mo is so capable. Everyone is raising prices but you are not. It's not easy to be a good person."

Although we are on the street now, after the flood, the street is in dilapidated condition and there are almost no people there. A few people just pass by in a hurry, not wanting to cause trouble.

Mo Jingchun wanted to turn around and go back, but was surrounded by thugs. There were only two little guys in the Mojia rice shop and no one was hired to guard them. Now seeing that his boss was in trouble, there was nothing he could do.

Mo Jingchun felt uneasy, and the man just said again: "We don't want to embarrass Miss Mo. If Miss Mo agrees to increase the price of Mo's store, we will naturally leave."

"Impossible" Mo Jingchun answered firmly. She couldn't do how the poor people should live if prices were to rise at this time.

"Since Miss Mo doesn't agree, don't blame us for being rude and take her away," the leader ordered.

Two people stepped forward and grabbed Mo Jingchun. Mo Jingchun was trembling and struggling, "Let go. Let me go. I am the cousin of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Aren't you afraid of the Prime Minister's Mansion's revenge?"

The leader felt a little more wary, but after what he had done, if Mo Jingchun was released now, he would be retaliated by the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ignoring Mo Jingchun's words, he said: "Hurry up, don't stay here for a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sword passed in front of his eyes, and the leader took a few steps back in shock.

Da da da da, Lu Xingci galloped over on a white horse. He was dressed in military uniform and looked heroic, like a branch of a tree, among the black mountains and white waters.

The whole body exuded light like glass, and the bottomless black eyes were like a deep pool of water submerging a person with nowhere to breathe. For a moment, Mo Jingchun was stunned.

Lu Xingci's horse stopped in front of Mo Jingchun, and he turned over and dismounted with a smooth movement.

What came behind him was the army, but they were all women. They were Bian Guanyue's women's army.

Lu Xingci said majestically: "Arrest them all."

The thugs panicked and begged for mercy: "Master Lu, Master Lu, please spare your life. We just wanted to scare Miss Mo, and we didn't really hurt anyone."

Their boss was also engaged in big business, so he naturally recognized Lu Xingci.

Lu Xingci ignored them and said coldly: "Drag them down."

The voices of those people gradually faded away, and Lu Xingci's eyes never left Mo Jingchun.

Seeing Mo Jingchun's stunned look, the corners of his mouth raised and he joked: "Have you seen enough?".

Mo Jingchun suddenly realized, his cheeks heated up and he said: "Who...who looked at you?"

Lu Xingci looked at her with a half-smile, "Yeah, I misunderstood Miss Mo."

Mo Jingchun was so embarrassed by him that he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Why is Mr. Lu here?"

Lu Xingci: "Your Majesty ordered me to lead the women's army to guard the order in the city to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

Mo Jingchun didn't understand why he had to explain it so clearly to her, so he nodded clearly.

Lu Xingci added: "For the sake of Miss Mo's safety, I will send Miss Mo back home."

Mo Jingchun didn't refuse. She was really frightened just now. Fortunately, Lu Xingci showed up in time, otherwise she doesn't know what would have happened.

Lu Xingci got on his horse and stretched out his hand towards Mo Jingchun, who took a step back.

The sending she thought was different from the sending Lu Xingci understood.

Lu Xingci rode his horse closer to Mo Jingchun, put him on the horse with his backhand, and held him in his arms.

Mo Jingchun was very light and his waist was very thin, which he had noticed the last time he was in the temple.

When Mo Jingchun reacted, he had already sat on the horse. Lu Xingci's arms were hugging him. Mo Jingchun lowered his head and blushed so hard that he could bleed.

Lu Xingci's voice sounded above Mo Jingchun's head, "There is no carriage now, so I feel sorry for Miss Mo to ride with me."

Mo Jingchun said shyly: "Yeah."

There was no other way, Lu Xingci had said so, so he had no choice but to accept it.

At first, she thought Lu Xingci was rude, but now she felt that she had misunderstood him. In a place she didn't see, Lu Xingci's smile deepened.

Baima walked slowly on the streets of the capital, not in a hurry.

Mo Jingchun leaned against Lu Xingci's chest, feeling Lu Xingci's warmth through his clothes, and remembered the scene in the temple that day.

Lu Xingci's fair skin and strong muscles cannot be seen at all now that he is wearing clothes.

Mo Jingchun's face turned redder, and he thought of Lu Xingci's injury again, and asked softly: "Is Mr. Lu's injury healed?"

Lu Xingci chuckled, "It's been fine a long time ago."

Mo Jingchun also felt that it was time to get better. It had been half a month, and suddenly the white horse's front hooves were raised. Mo Jingchun was frightened and pressed close to Lu Xingci.

Lu Xingci reined in his horse and apologized: "Is Miss Mo okay? I don't often ride horses and my skills are not good. I hope Miss Mo can forgive me."

Lu Xingci's tone was annoyed, as if he really blamed himself for not controlling the horse well.

Mo Jingchun stayed close to Lu Xingci, not daring to move, and said in a trembling voice: "It's okay."

A trace of regret flashed in Lu Xingci's eyes. He held the reins with one hand and put his other hand around Mo Jingchun's waist. He said seriously: "This way, Miss Mo will be safer."

Mo Jingchun felt strange in his heart, but he was also afraid that he really couldn't control the horse, so he didn't say anything.

The two of them returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as the white horse stopped, Lu Xingci came down with Mo Jingchun in his arms.

Mo Jingchun suppressed the weirdness in his heart and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for sending me off."

Then he walked towards the prime minister's house without giving Lu Xingci a chance to speak.

Lu Xingci watched Mo Jingchun's leaving figure without moving. He didn't leave on horseback until he was completely out of sight.

Back at Wenzhenghou Mansion, Bian Guanyue was already waiting on Lu Xingci's only path.

Lu Xingci stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Mother is well."

Bian Guanyue nodded "Yeah".

Mother and son were speechless. Lu Xingci couldn't stand the atmosphere and was ready to resign.

Just as he was about to speak, Bian Guanyue spoke first.

"Stay away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one can."

Lu Xingci didn't respond. He lowered his head to hide the emotion in his eyes and said, "My son has something to do, so I'll leave first."

Lu Xingci did not respond to Bian Guanyue's words, nor did he look at her, and left directly.

Bian Guanyue looked at Lu Xingci's leaving figure, her expression gradually deepening.
