After being thoroughly violated, he ran away with the enemy emperor's child.

Has Aci gained weight?

Or did he see it wrong?

After all, Aci was dressed loosely and wearing a veil today, and they were some distance apart, so he couldn't see her very clearly.

Just as he was trying to get a clearer view, Yuan Jin stood between him and Aci.

"..."

His gaze shifted to Yuan Jin, and Mo Yan said coldly, "Get out of the way."

"hehe."

Yuan Jin sneered, "A prisoner making so many demands? Do you think this is the Zhao Kingdom?"

"I advise you to come with me obediently, and you'll suffer less."

As Yuan Jin spoke, his gaze fell on Mo Yan's waist and abdomen. His wounds were still bleeding, and his robes below the waist were already stained red with blood, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

I said, move aside.

Mo Yan's voice grew colder, and his gaze toward Yuan Jin turned hostile: "Don't think that just because Aci's younger brother likes you, you can speak to me like that."

"Don't say that Aci couldn't bear to kill me. Even if he killed me with his own hands, that would be a matter between him and me, and has nothing to do with you, an outsider."

"..."

Yuan Jin was stunned. He subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with Mo Yan's words, but he didn't know how to refute them.

As he pondered, Mo Yan turned his body slightly and looked up at the platform again.

On the high platform, his Aci, facing sideways, drew back the bowstring, and the arrow in his hand shot fiercely toward the bullseye.

At the same time, a gust of wind blew by, lifting the veil on his body and stirring the jade pendant at his waist.

This time, Mo Yan finally saw things clearly.

...He wasn't mistaken.

His pupils contracted sharply, and he stared at one spot, unable to recover for a long time.

Rumors about that village resurfaced in Mo Yan's mind, his heart raced, and he subconsciously took a step forward.

Has Aci really become a **?

When did this happen?

How long?

Countless doubts arose in his heart. Mo Yan couldn't wait to see him, kiss him, hug him, and then tell him: Mo Yan will always listen to A Ci. Whatever A Ci tells him to do, he will do.

But Yuan Jin blocked his path, standing between him and Aci once again. "Mo Yan, what do you want to do?"

"..."

Mo Yan clenched his fists and suddenly took a few steps back.

The rope struck the blade of one of the soldiers, creating a gash. The next instant, a tearing sound rang out, and the rope fell to the ground.

Using his lightness skill, Mo Yan stepped onto Yuan Jin's shoulder, used the momentum to jump onto the high platform, and then ran towards Chu Junci.

All of this happened too fast. By the time Yuan Jin reacted, Mo Yan was already standing in front of Chu Junci.

Neither of them spoke. Mo Yan's lips trembled as his gaze slid across A Ci's face through the veil.

"Aci..."

"..."

Chu Junci looked at him as well, his grip on the longbow tightening.

Standing beside Chu Junci, Chu Li was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Mo Yan for a long while before exclaiming in surprise, "Mo Yan! Why did you come up here?!"

Wasn't Mo Yan just down there? How did he suddenly float up like a ghost?

After regaining his senses, he hurriedly turned to the side to block his brother, but he was not as tall as his brother and could only block the lower half of his brother's face.

With his arms outstretched in a protective stance, he glared at Mo Yan: "Mo Yan, what do you want to do?"

"His Majesty!"

Yuan Jin and the soldiers rushed over and surrounded Mo Yan again.

But Mo Yan could no longer see anyone else. He lowered his eyes to look at Chu Junci: "Aci, are you...?"

She couldn't say the rest, especially with so many people around, and given Aci's noble status, if someone overheard...

Thinking of this, he closed his lips and just stared at him without saying a word.

The wound on his waist and abdomen was torn open again by the movement just now. Mo Yan's face turned pale. In addition, he had hardly rested for the past half month. His vision blurred and his breathing became heavy.

Shaking his head quickly, Mo Yan said again, "Aci, I have something I want to tell you. Will you come see me?"

"I know what you're afraid of. Don't worry, I would never do anything to harm Yong Kingdom."

"I swear in the name of Emperor Zhao that if I ever cause Aci any sorrow, I will suffer a terrible death, a miserable end, and be punished by all..."

That's enough.

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Junci raised her head slightly and looked into Mo Yan's eyes: "Mo Yan, next month I will send someone to Zhao Kingdom to sign a peace treaty..."

"Sign, I'll sign with you."

Mo Yan hurriedly replied, "Aci can have anything she wants, just don't ignore me, okay?"

"Aci".

He took a step forward, only to be kicked away by Chu Li: "If you're going to talk, just talk. Why are you standing so close?"

"..."

After being kicked, he realized that Chu Li was still there. Looking down at Chu Li's sullen face, Mo Yan frowned but said nothing.

"A-Li".

Chu Junci patted Chu Li on the shoulder, "I have something to say to him, go find A Jin."

"Brother!" Chu Li said with a look of disapproval.

"Go ahead, don't worry about me."

"…oh."

Chu Li left reluctantly and stood next to Yuan Jin, glaring fiercely at Mo Yan as if he were looking at a pile of cow dung.

"Ah Jin, I'm so angry!"

"My brother suffered and worked hard because of him. If it weren't for him, my brother would still be the same brother he always was, and he wouldn't have had to go through so much hardship."

"And he's also like this..."

The word "ugly" stuck in Chu Li's throat. He glared at Mo Yan's face. "And he's even uglier than my brother! In short, I hate him to death!"

"Don't be angry, A-Li, I hate him too!"

"Right, right, you hate him too."

Mo Yan, whom the two disliked, was standing in front of Chu Junci. They were facing each other, but neither of them spoke.

A gentle breeze blew, stirring the veil on Chu Junci's head, and they finally gazed at each other without any obstruction.

"Aci..."

Mo Yan moved his lips slightly, "Are you still angry with me?"

"..."

Chu Junci remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"When did you find out I was Chu Ling?"

"A few days ago."

Mo Yan replied, "I saw the real Xie Yunzhou at the border before, and only then did I realize that I had been mistaking your identity all along."

"Later, after entering the city, I saw the painting you gave him in Xie Yunzhou's secret room, and that's when I was completely certain..."

"Did you burn down the Xie residence?"

Chu Junci glanced at him and said, "A few days ago, the Xie family reported that a fire broke out in the mansion for no reason, and Xie Yunzhou's bedroom was burned to a crisp."

"..."

Mo Yan lowered his head and remained silent.

After a while, he looked up again: "Aci, let's not talk about other people, okay?"

"I miss you so much."

"Don't you hate me?" Chu Junci asked him.

"I almost killed you."

"I don't hate."

Mo Yan's eyes were serious: "I was the one who deceived you first, so it's only right that Aci is angry."

"and……"

His gaze slid to one spot, and Mo Yan blushed, a rare occurrence for him: "And now Aci is pregnant..."

"Shut up."

Chu Junci interrupted him, saying in a low voice, "Perhaps you've misunderstood something."
