"Are you okay?" Luo Mingze asked worriedly. Murong Qing fell silent before looking at Luo Mingze. "I remember. I haven't accepted you at all." Murong Qing said seriously.

"Because I'm always beside you. Even though you can't see me. Everything you say. I hear it clearly." Luo Mingze said smiling. Murong Qing's face turned red.

Murong Qing remembered that he said many things. If he is always beside him then he knows everything. 'The mistake in question was Luo Mingze who, although he died, did not leave Murong Qing's side.' Murong Qing thought frustratedly.

[You guessed it right. That's the problem.]

Murong Qing was too tired to scold the system. "When will you return to the capital?" Murong Qing asked. "Two days." Luo Mingze said. Murong Qing nodded.

Today, Murong Qing had many guests. How come? All the villagers who heard Murong Qing were sick. Everyone came to visit and brought lots of vegetables and food. Murong Qing was really tired of being made by them.

Luo Mingze forced by Murong Min back to the military barracks. Having no choice, Luo Mingze complied. Even though he didn't want to.

"Qing er is having difficulty walking because of your actions, right?!" Murong Min said annoyed. Luo Mingze looked at Murong Min in shock. "I know, you like my brother and I also see that my brother likes you. Don't worry, I won't mess up your relationship. I just hope you take good care of my brother. He is my treasure. Anyone who dare hurt him, I will make them pay with their blood." Murong Min said calmly.

"I'll take good care of him. Don't worry." Luo Mingze said seriously. "I take your word for it. If you treat Qing er badly, I will be the first person who will not let you go." Murong Min said. Luo Mingze smiled.

___Murong Qing's House___

Xie Minghao came in with food. Murong Qing smiled. "I see you're quite tired." Xie Minghao said worriedly. "I am okay. After rest, I will recover." Murong Qing replied. "There's a letter for you." Xie Minghao said. "From whom?" Murong Qing asked opening the letter.

"Liao Zhen, Light Kingdom's prince." Xie Minghao replied. Murong Qing frowned in confusion and started reading the letter.

[Qing er, you are the sweetest person I have ever met. You help everyone without exception, even wanting to help an isolated prince like me. I am very grateful to you.

Are you curious about how I know your name? That's because I heard people call you A Qing. But I think Qing er's nickname is cuter.

Every moment, I dream of you. I miss you and want to hug you all the time. Will you accept my love?

Liao Zhen]

Murong Qing exhaled and put away the letter. "Why did you keep it?" Xie Minghao asked. "I have to give it to my brother as proof. I'm afraid they're playing dirty tricks." Murong Qing said.

Xie Minghao nodded in understanding. "I have to go back now." Xie Minghao said in response to Murong Qing's nod. Murong Qing cleaned up the dirty plates and bowl after eating.

Unlike usual, Murong Qing felt very sleepy and fell asleep. When he woke up again. He found that he was tied to a strange place.

The place was like a temple that had been neglected for a long time. Murong Qing seemed to feel cold because he was not wearing a coat. "Are you awake?" asked someone coming in.

The person in front of him, Liao Zhen, is the Prince of the Light Kingdom. Murong Qing stepped back. "There's no need to be afraid. I tied you up so you wouldn't run away. I heard you're very good at martial arts so I definitely won't win against you." Liao Zhen explained.

Murong Qing just kept quiet and didn't speak. "Don't worry, once you arrive at the Light Kingdom, I will marry you and make you my legal wife. Now there are many soldiers standing guard at the border so I can't take you with me." Liao Zhen explained.

"I'm a man if you don't know. Then I won't marry you." Murong Qing said firmly. "I know, you need time to get to know me. I'll wait. I'll go buy food now." Liao Zhen said before leaving.

Murong Qing regretted that he didn't have his sword at his waist. Today Murong Qing intended to sleep early so he put his sword in the cupboard. Unfortunately, Liao Zhen chose today to kidnap him and even put the knife he always carried in his hand in the cupboard.

"I'm so unlucky." Murong Qing muttered irritably. Murong Qing stepped back when he heard the sound of footsteps. Slowly the footsteps got closer and Murong Qing immediately smiled.

Luo Mingze found Murong Qing. Luo Mingze went straight to Murong Qing and untied him. Luo Mingze lifted Murong Qing's body.

"I can walk." Murong Qing said. Luo Mingze did not answer and continued walking up to the horse. The two of them rode their horses back.

When back to the barracks. Murong Min said that Murong Qing's house could no longer be lived in. "Brother, I was just not careful. I will be more careful from now on." Murong Qing said coaxingly.

"I disagree." Murong Min said disapprovingly. "I don't think it's a problem." Said Ouyang Lanying came carrying the tied Liao Zhen. Murong Qing smiled. "I know, you came." Murong Qing said smiling sweetly.

"If I don't come then you will be used as merchandise by this bastard." Ouyang Lanying said kicking Liao Zhen making Liao Zhen kneel.

"I'm a prince. How dare you!" Liao Zhen said angrily. A young man came with Fan Yuxuan. “Crown prince Liao, how are you?” Murong Qing said in greeting.

"Brother Murong, you don't need to be so formal with me. This isn't a royal event." Liao Rong said smiling. Both Luo Mingze and Murong Min were quite shocked and even Liao Zhen was shocked too.

"I don't dare. Because if I don't called you like that, this dog will bite you." Murong Qing said smiling. "Brother, you are in cahoots with the enemy!" Liao Zhen said angrily. "Are you tired of acting now?" Murong Qing asked silencing Liao Zhen.

Fan Yuxuan walked over to Murong Qing and handed him a box. Murong Qing smiled before opening the box to a sword and knife. Murong Qing kept his sword at his waist and played with the knife in his hand.

Murong Qing then knelt down. "Do you believe I will tear you apart with this knife?" Murong Qing said using the tip of his knife to lift Liao Zhen's chin.

Liao Zhen was so scared that he didn't even dare to move. "You dare play dirty tricks again. This knife will go straight to your neck." Murong Qing said before keeping the knife in his left arm.

“Crown prince Liao, what do you plan to do next?” Murong Qing asked. "Sure, I'm waiting for good news." Liao Rong said with a grin.

A red signal is sent upwards. Qingyuan immediately got on the horse and so did Ouyang Lanying. The two of them galloped their horses towards the defense gate.

"What is it?" Murong Min asked confusedly. "You fail, you will all die." Liao Zhen said happily. "If there is a war then the first person I will kill is you." Liao Rong said coldly.

"You wouldn't dare!" Liao Zhen said mockingly. "I have a royal decree from father. I dare to kill you with this and no one dares to disobey me!" Liao Rong said smiling mockingly.

Liao Zhen swallowed his saliva roughly. The signal is turned on again. This time the signal is in the shape of a lotus. "Everything is fine." Liao Rong said smiling.

"I want to know how you two know each other? You seem to be very close and even recognize each other's signals that even I don't know. Your story is unusual and then Ouyang Lanying, you are also suspicious. Apart from my father and me, no one knows my brother is still alive. How do you know it??" Murong Min asked curiously. "He almost became the crown princess of the Light Kingdom. Is that considered big news or light news?" Liao Rong said laughing. Luo Mingze spat out the wine he was drinking.

Ouyang Lanying held back his laughter. "What?!" Murong Min shouted.
