Regardless of whether Jun Zhao's purpose at the moment was pure or not, Mu Luan eventually softened her heart.

He said bluntly: "Do you know my identity?"

Jun Zhao admitted it frankly, without hiding anything, and said, "I know."

The night she left the gambling house, he followed her all the way, watching the carriage drive into Yunzhong Road and finally stop at the side door of the general's mansion.

The beautiful lady was escorted into the mansion by guards and servants like the moon surrounded by stars.

Although she went through a side door, there was no one else in the general's mansion who was as noble, beautiful, and delicate as her, except for Mu Sinian's daughter.

Mu Luan knew that Jun Zhao must have investigated her secretly, and it would not be difficult for him to know her identity.

She asked knowingly, "What's your name?"

Jun Zhao lowered his eyes and spoke in a much lower voice, "Jiuyou."

Mu Luan frowned. This name was probably used to hide the identity. No wonder after Jun Zhao ascended the throne in the previous life, no one could find out the past of the Nineteenth Prince.

Because his past is being lived out as another person.

"I can protect you once, but I have a condition."

Jun Zhao raised his eyes, looked directly into her eyes, and whispered, "If I can repay your kindness, I am willing to do anything, regardless of life or death."

Hearing his calm and determined tone, it was likely that even if Mu Luan made any excessive demands at this moment, he would gladly agree to them.

After all, he is a madman who will never give up until he achieves his goal, and he is willing to sacrifice his entire flesh and blood for it.

Mu Luan looked at him, trying to get rid of the hatred she had for him in her previous life, and said, "I don't want you to die. I just hope that no matter what you do in the future, you can't hurt the Mu family."

The man's eyes moved slightly, his inky pupils were as deep as a whirlpool, and he lowered his hands and gently twisted his fingertips.

His existence is evidence of the filthiness of the world. Everyone wants him dead and wants to bury him in the cage of hell and turn him into ashes.

Even the woman closest to him would often poke his head and ask him why he didn't die?

As long as he was alive, she would suffer terribly.

It was really strange to hear these words from the mouth of this woman whom I had met time and time again.

Jun Zhao's thoughts passed in an instant. He lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes and said softly, "I was born in a humble family and I am not capable enough. Your Excellency thinks highly of me."

Inadequate? Not necessarily.

Two years later, a bloody storm swept through the capital. The court and the country were nothing more than pawns in his hands. Isn't this the person in front of him!

Mu Luan secretly complained in her heart and watched him being self-deprecating and self-pitying.

"Since you want me to protect you, you can no longer use the name 'Jiuyou'. How about 'Mufeng'?"

Jun Zhao nodded calmly, his eyes clear and calm, "I will listen to you, Your Excellency."

Mu Luan said: "From now on you will follow me as a guard."

At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, and then Yin Xin said from outside the door: "Miss, it's time to take the medicine."

Mu Luan pulled his outer robe tighter and said, "Come in."

Yinxin walked in with a tray and looked at the man standing beside her with some suspicion.

I don't understand what the lady wanted to say, and why she talked to a strange man for so long.

Jun Zhao's eyes fell on the two bowls of medicine on the tray with wisps of smoke rising from them.

The originally sweet room was gradually filled with a faint smell of medicine.

The moment he smelled the medicine, Jun Zhao's eyes dimmed, and his dark eyes once again surrounded that fair and delicate face.

This woman looks weak and doesn't seem like someone with strong sexual desires. Why is she still taking contraceptive medicine?

Didn't she know that this contraceptive medicine was incompatible with her body and that she must not touch it?

Otherwise, it will only increase the burden on the body and accelerate death!

Mu Luan didn't understand pharmacology, but based on her vague memories from her previous life, she tried to see if the contraceptive soup could cure the root of her illness.

Ever since I bought the contraceptive medicine from Youming Inn, I haven't been able to find a chance to boil it.

I was afraid that my mother, father and brothers would find out, and I wouldn't be able to explain myself even if I was right.

Later, he decided to leave the Huaguang Temple in his mansion, and thought of trying the medicine in the temple, but because of the murder case in the suburbs of Beijing, it has been delayed until now.

She didn't even tell Yin Xin about the contraceptive medicine, she just asked her to boil it well and send it over when it was ready.

Yin Xin picked up a prepared hawthorn, stared at her mistress, and said, "Miss, I'm ready. You can drink it."

Mu Luan smiled at Yin Xin, who was more nervous than herself about taking the medicine. She took the hawthorn from her hand, put it back into the fruit plate, and said, "Go find Guard Yun He. I need to talk to him about something."

Yin Xin looked at the medicine that was about to get cold and said worriedly, "Miss, you have to drink this medicine while it's hot, otherwise..."

Mu Luan interrupted quickly, "I know, I'll drink it myself, you go quickly."

"Miss, you must drink the medicine obediently, you are not allowed to..." Yin Xin instructed, looking back every few steps.

Mu Luan waved her hand, "I know, go now."

As soon as Yin Xin left, Mu Luan picked up two bowls of medicine and walked towards an evergreen not far away.

Jun Zhao looked at her busying around with indifferent eyes, not understanding what she wanted to do.

Mu Luan poured the medicine in her hand into the flowerpots, leaving only one third in each bowl, then returned to the table and put it down.

There was a hint of satisfaction on the corner of her mouth, but she looked up inadvertently and saw Jun Zhao looking at her calmly.

He quickly raised his hand to his lips to make a silent gesture and whispered, "Just pretend you didn't see it."

Jun Zhao actually nodded obediently and then lowered his eyes.

Mu Luan was stunned. She didn't expect Jun Zhao to get into the role of a guard so quickly and be so obedient and well-behaved.

I kind of feel like we're doing something bad together.

This is the first time we have been together so wholeheartedly.

If she didn't drink the medicine, it would get cold. She no longer cared about Jun Zhao and picked up the detoxifying medicine and drank it in small sips.

This medicine is really bitter, even more bitter than the poisons that Jun Zhao used to test on her in her previous life.

Mu Luan broke out in a sweat after drinking half a bowl of medicine.

Jun Zhao looked up at some point, and the girl's wrinkled face was reflected in his dark eyes.

Soon she picked up a hawthorn and hurriedly put it to her mouth.

The red lips soaked in the medicine glowed with a layer of light, slowly wrapped the hawthorn flesh, and finally disappeared into the depths of the secret.

The sour taste eroded the taste buds, and Mu Luan's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Soon, Mu Luan's gaze fell on another bowl of black medicine, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes.

Just as the fingertips touched the edge of the bowl, a bony palm covered the bowl.

Mu Luan looked up in surprise. She didn't know when Jun Zhao became so close to her!

She subconsciously moved her body back to the chair, and after getting a little further away, she asked in confusion, "Why are you doing this?"

Jun Zhao stared at Mu Luan and said in a deep voice, "My dear, you should take care of yourself and have less sex."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Luan seemed to be struck by lightning, and her cheeks quickly flushed.
