In the tent.

Mu Chen poured a cup of tea for Gu Jin and pushed all the candied fruits in front of Gu Jin, doing it naturally and smoothly.

"Sister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may really be a good person, otherwise we would not know about Prince Yu's plan."

Gu Jin turned the cup in his hand absentmindedly, "Maybe."

Since coming to the enclosure, Mu Chen has been poisoned and assassinated. It is impossible for her to stay with Mu Chen all the time. Perhaps she really needs an ally.

"What are you thinking about, sister?" Mu Chen held his chin and looked at Gu Jin.

Gu Jin shook his head, "Nothing."

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes, looking as if he understood everything, "Did your sister have a fight with your brother-in-law recently?"

"That's not true. What do kids know?"

"I'm not a child!" Mu Chen looked unconvinced. He glanced at Gu Jin and said, "Sister, are you blaming your brother-in-law for what happened between me and my mother?"

Mu Chen lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the emotions in his eyes, "I will not forgive the murderer who killed my mother, I will definitely avenge her, but..."

Mu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jin and said, "But I know this result is not what my brother-in-law wants. His original intention was to protect me and my mother. I don't want you two to become strangers because of this, and I don't want my sister to be unhappy."

Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, and said quickly: "I'm not unhappy..."

"Sister, you don't have to hide it from me. I can see it."

Although Gu Jin forced herself to smile in front of him these days, the light in her eyes was gone.

"My brother-in-law is a very good man. I can see that he loves my sister very much. I hope you are all well and don't have any regrets."

Gu Jin didn't expect Muchen to say these words. In her heart, Muchen was always a child.

"There are some things you don't understand."

"But it's enough that you understand!" Mu Chen looked at Gu Jin with burning eyes, "Sister is the smartest person I have ever met. Even if you are trapped in the fog for a while, there will be a day when the clouds will be cleared and the moon will be seen."

Gu Jin looked at Mu Chen and smiled helplessly for a long while, "He is a little brat."

When Gu Jin left Mu Chen's tent, he saw Mu Zhen sitting under the campfire admiring the moon.

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waiting for me?" Gu Jin walked over and got straight to the point.

Mu Zhen smiled, "Madam is still so frank. Did Madam see my sincerity today?"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Mu Zhen smiled gently, "Then Madam, are you willing to accept my previous proposal?"

Gu Jin's eyes trembled, he looked up at Mu Zhen and said, "As long as Your Highness can protect Prince Chen from harm, I am willing to help Your Highness share the worry."

Mu Zhen's eyes were filled with smiles. "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Gu Jin thought Xie Ran should be asleep, but she didn't expect that he was still waiting for her.

Seeing her come back, Xie Ran immediately stepped forward, took Gu Jin's hand and said, "Ajin, trust me, don't get too close to the prince."

Gu Jin originally intended to ease the relationship with Xie Ran, but when she heard him say that, she became irritated for no reason. She shook off Xie Ran's hand and said, "Xie Ran, do you think you are the only smart person in the world, and that no matter what others do, it is wrong and a joke?"

"The matter here is not as simple as you think. It is not something you can just do by moving your hands in the backyard or doing some business casually!"

Gu Jin's eyes became even colder at this moment. She laughed out loud, "So everything I did before was so unbearable in your eyes."

Xie Ran's heart trembled, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, "Ajin, that's not what I meant..."

"That's enough." Gu Jin turned around, leaving Xie Ran with a cold back. "I don't want to listen to your big truths anymore. In the future, you and I will go our separate ways. The results will prove who is right!"

Mu Zhen heard every word of this. He smiled, and his pale face looked a little cold under the dim candlelight. "Xie Ran, Xie Ran, it turns out that there are things in this world that you can't do!"

Mu Zhen raised his hand and called over a shadow standing in the dark, his tone piercingly cold, "It's been a long time since I sent a message to Zhaoguo. We should let them know some good news..."
