After returning to Xu's house, I no longer had the chance to talk to Xu Shu.

Wu Yong, Qi Huairen and others had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When they saw him coming back, they rushed up to him and asked him about the situation. They talked at the same time and it was a very chaotic scene.

Mu Jinghua felt annoyed after hearing this. He glanced at Xu Shu and went back to his room.

It was boring to go back to the room. The long night was about to pass and the sky was already turning pale. Thinking of the battle outside that seemed to be still going on, Mu Jinghua had no desire to sleep and just stared out the window in a daze.

The happy couplet from yesterday has not been opened yet and is printed on the window, making people laugh for some unknown reason.

When Xu Shu came back, he saw him sitting alone by the bed, with empty eyes and a lost look like an abandoned kitten.

His heart trembled and he subconsciously slowed down his pace. When he reached Mu Jinghua, the young man came to his senses and became aware of his presence.

"Do you want to sleep for a while?" Mu Jinghua opened his mouth, but found that his voice was inexplicably hoarse.

Xu Shu neither nodded nor shook his head, but just looked at him quietly for a long while before asking, "Why are you unhappy?"

Mu Jinghua's heart trembled, and suddenly he felt that he was being unreasonable.

It was obvious that Xu Shu had already tolerated him and agreed to his outrageous request, but he still acted so distraught and disturbed him.

But he...but he...

"What's wrong?" Xu Shu asked again, but did not wait for his answer. Instead, he touched his face and said softly, "Go to sleep for a while. I will take care of the rest."

Mu Jinghua held him back: "Don't..."

Xu Shu hummed, somewhat helplessly: "You want me to sleep with you?"

"Hmm..." Mu Jinghua whispered, "If the city is breached, then I am too stupid."

"How could that be?" Xu Shu sat on the bed. "The city will not fall, and nothing will happen to you. Just do what you want..."

He bent down and kissed his forehead: "I will always support you."

"But Xu Shu..." Mu Jinghua suddenly felt extremely wronged, "But..."

"Hmm?" Xu Shu saw that his eyes suddenly turned red, and touched the corner of his eyes with a bit of heartache.

"But..." Mu Jinghua muttered for a long time, tears hanging on his eyelashes, fluttering and about to fall. His voice was weak, "But, don't you have any bottom line and principles towards me?"

"You clearly knew that I poisoned you, and you would never agree with it, but... you still pretended not to know."

"Being an emperor is... that's ridiculous. Why, why don't you just say no? If you just indulge me blindly, I don't know... I won't even know why you left me... I don't want this, I don't want..."

He cried so pitifully.

Xu Shu couldn't help but stare at him in a trance. He lowered his eyes and kissed the corner of his eyes. His eyes were deep. He kissed him so vigorously, like a paranoid madman, trying hard to merge the person in front of him into his own flesh and blood.

Mu Jinghua was unfamiliar with Xu Shu like this, and even subconsciously pushed Xu Shu and whispered, "Don't..."

Xu Shu stopped immediately, but his eyes were even redder than Mu Jinghua who had just cried. This made Mu Jinghua's heart confused again, and he looked at Xu Shu, not knowing what to say.

"Did you get scared?" Xu Shu reached out to touch his face, but seeing his body stiffened, he couldn't help but soften his voice, "I didn't think about this. It was my negligence."

Mu Jinghua tilted his head slightly.

"But you have to believe, Mu Jinghua, you have to believe that there will be no one in this world who will love you more than I do."

Xu Shu's heart was burning, but after saying this he felt that what he said was too paranoid and was worried that it would scare Mu Jinghua. He couldn't help but cough lightly and was thinking about saying something to ease the atmosphere.

Mu Jinghua suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly: "No one will love you more than me."

he whispered.

Xu Shu felt his heart soften. He lowered his eyes and kissed Mu Jinghua before smiling, "Are you not sad anymore?"

Mu Jinghua leaned on his arms and couldn't help but say, "But you sounded fierce when you spoke, I thought you were angry, and you didn't say a word on the way back, I..."

He chattered on and on with Xu Shu, but his logic was very clear.

After hearing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little Mujin, you don't look like a boy at all."

"I'm not a boy, I'm a brother."

Xu Shu was choked by these words, and then laughed: "He is still a little brother who is more beautiful than flowers."

"Why are you teasing me like this!" Mu Jinghua was so angry that he punched him, "It was you who treated me coldly first."

"I am innocent, baby." Xu Shu sighed, "I was afraid that the horse would be cold after running at night, so I took the initiative to lead the horse back. As for what you said about me being mean to you... I really don't know anything about it, so I definitely didn't do it on purpose."

"Hmph." Mu Jinghua pushed him away and sat on the bed depressedly without saying a word.

"Then I'll apologize to you, okay?" Xu Shu leaned forward to kiss him, but was pushed away by Mu Jinghua again, "It's indecent, it's already daybreak."

Xu Shu sighed: "Why are we still restricted to occasions and times after getting married?"

Mu Jinghua became serious and asked, "Do you really want me to be the emperor?"

"Yeah." Xu Shu poked his face. "Why, you were not angry with me before, but now you are afraid?"

"You know I'm angry with you, yet you still indulge me like this." Mu Jinghua couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

However, Xu Shu had very good hearing. When he heard his voice, he reached out to tickle him.

He knew exactly where Mu Jinghua was most ticklish, and the two of them started playing around, and soon rolled onto the bed.

Xu Shu let down the bed curtain, but Mu Jinghua was determined this time.

He pushed Xu Shu away, as if he was going to make this clear: "Xu Shu, there is still something wrong with you."

Xu Shu touched the tip of his nose, puzzled: "Tell me more."

Mu Jinghua listed them one by one with him: "First, you knew that I poisoned the wedding, but you didn't expose me. With your intelligence, how could you not find another way?"

"I'm afraid you'll be angry and stop being friends with me."

"Nonsense." Mu Jinghua glared at him, "You know I'm not that kind of person."

Xu Shu touched the tip of his nose and said nothing.

Mu Jinghua continued: "The second is the disputes outside the city. You don't seem to care about it. Until now, you haven't even taken a look. It was not like this when you were in Yuzhou."

"I'm not..." Xu Shu was about to argue again, but was interrupted by Mu Jinghua.

"Don't say anything. I won't believe what Qiao Jianhong said anyway."

Xu Shu: “…”

"Finally...where is Xu Ya?"

Xu Shu: "I went back to Yuzhou."

"You're lying." Mu Jinghua pulled at the corner of his clothes, "You lied to me, Wan Ge'er said he heard it."

"What did you hear?" Xu Shu felt something was wrong.

"I heard your conversation with Brother Jiang and Xu Shi. Xu Shi is from Fengdan. He also heard that you assigned Xu Shi a very important task."

"It's just to make weapons." Xu Shu glanced at Mu Jinghua's face and shut up obediently.

"Finally, it's about me saying I want to be the emperor." Mu Jinghua said sternly, "You agreed without much objection. This is totally unlike you."

"I agreed because you wanted to." Xu Shu was a little helpless.

Why does it feel like it would be wrong for him to agree, and it would be wrong for him to not agree?
