The large Mu Residence was quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint moonlight poured in through the windows and landed on the figure sitting upright. It stained him with coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an extremely young man with a handsome appearance. From his brow bones to the tip of his nose, the lines were extremely smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chin was sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still wearing the black armor from three days ago. Yes, he had already stayed in this position and sat quietly for three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the longest three days in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless scenes flashed across his mind. They seemed like a strange and distant dream yet extremely real. It was so real that he thought was currently in a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of cold wind blew across the courtyard. The leaves rustled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly did not do anything, but he felt exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he had once gotten lost in the Dahuang Swamp with severe injuries but still walked for ten days without resting, he had not felt such lethargy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes and felt that everything in his mind was about to rip him open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, he opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn was currently breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, came to the desk, and slowly scanned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current status, he naturally ate, wore, and used the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, the paper stopper, ink, and brush were extremely precious items. However, his gaze finally landed on the brush at the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also made with good material, but probably because it was old, the years had left marks on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked very unassuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the brush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was cold to the touch but very smooth and convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he almost could recall her soft hands and the warm contact when it landed on the back of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have to hold it like this,\" she said with a smile, without any contempt toward him on her face—even when his hands were filled with swollen and rotten callouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of that scene and could not help but lightly rub the back of his right hand that was holding the brush. His lips curled up faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this smile quickly disappeared and had a layer of frost on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock, knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knocks were heard from outside, with the guard's careful report. \"Sir, Her Highness is going to Xin Li Garden today. Do you want to follow her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this Mu Residence, there was only one Her Highness—the Crown Princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Mu Qinghe's hand stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ink-filled brush stopped in midair, and the ink landed drop by drop, spreading into a ball of black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, he opened that paper with a normal expression. Then, he finally placed the brush down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His actions were very slow, and he seemed especially focused, but the palm that could hold a ton was shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to pour all his heart and soul into every brushstroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was clearly only one word, but he wrote it with much difficulty\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finished the last stroke, his lips were already pale. Only that pair of eyes was so dark that one could not see the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir?\" the person outside boldly urged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three days, the lord had been locking himself up in the study room and didn't make a sound. They were worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only talking about the princess was useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qinghe looked down at that word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, all the emotions had dissipated, leaving behind endless harshness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go. Have a hundred soldiers to follow her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was normal for the princess to go to Xin Li Garden. Usually, she wouldn't make a scene and rarely brought guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred soldiers and him were sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sufficient to seal her path of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, from Xin Li Garden to the royal family's ancestral hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qinghe had received her three calls for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thirteen Yue Guards were deployed to Huli Mountain, and all the useful people around her were trapped elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only he was reliable, but he did not move and crushed all the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the fire started burning the royal family's ancestral hall, he was not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crazy fires rushed to the sky and almost burned half of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Qi Han tried his best to rush back and knew that many people wanted to save her. He pretended that he did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was until later on, when time was almost up, that he finally brought them to extinguish the fire and save her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, who could be saved? With the big fire, there were no corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qinghe searched in the fire and debris for a long, long time with reddened eyes. Finally, he kneeled on the ground defeatedly and fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he woke up again, Jiang Yucheng was also around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Mu.\" Jiang Yucheng's face no longer had the sorrowness he displayed when he faced the outsiders. He looked down at him from above and had a smile on his lips, with strange mockery. \"You should know that you're no longer her man from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qinghe was silent for a long time, but finally, he smiled slightly under Jiang Yucheng's shocked gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded and said, \"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never was. He did not have such luck, and he no longer dared to have such hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fire then became Mu Qinghe's demon. Every single day and night, this scene would surface in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not recall how many times he had woken up in shock while trembling. He was covered in cold sweat, and the coldness entered his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was tortured continuously and almost became a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation finally changed when he went to Country Yao Chen and saw that young girl. He saw the pair of extremely familiar yet foreign eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest difference was the gaze she looked over with—shock, suspicion, disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qinghe acted as if he had not noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since then, the fire in his dream became a pair of eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard her interrogation: \"Mu Qinghe, how dare you betray me!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single word was like a sharp knife cutting into his body, causing fresh blood to drip out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his chest weakly and hopelessly. \"Your Highness… I….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he was alone, even in his dreams, he did not dare to say such words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that this nightmare could only be solved by her personally. It would be great if she could personally kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally waited for the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The icy cold and sharp blade entered his flesh. He could feel his blood slowly flowing out, together with his warmth and vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he felt great. There was no other moment even better than this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw her awakened, he saw her come back, he saw her about to take back everything that belonged to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the First Deity, he seemed to have lived for very long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was always high and mighty and held great power, but it seemed like he had only truly lived in the decade or so in Tianling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His life seemed to be a long nightmare. Only some parts had warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, there were very few parts, but they were enough to comfort him his entire life. For this, he was willing to make all his choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision gradually became blurry, and he finally could not take another look at that face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, I can finally be considered to have died usefully and got what I wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great.\u003C\u002Fp>",1287,"2026-06-03T05:00:22.847Z","2026-06-03T05:00:27.015Z",1,"novelbin.me","ddbbf1774840845957df54012323380843df67e41f064f5c19d1176ca9525f4a","the-emperor-wants-to-marry-the-doctor-chapter-2587","the-emperor-wants-to-marry-the-doctor-chapter-2585",2588,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-emperor-wants-to-marry-the-doctor-cover.jpg"]
