Chapter 158: Take Care
Chapter 158: Take Care
An Muxi was a little at a loss. Li Rui suddenly hugged her. What was he doing?
But when I smelled the faint cold woody scent on him, I felt inexplicably at ease.
She gently put her arms around his waist, and her expression softened. To be fair, this man treated her well. Was this the last time they had such close contact?
If he was just a rich kid, she would definitely be with him without any scruples, and he would willingly agree to be together for the rest of her life.
But he was born into a royal family. Even if he wanted to, he would not be able to resist if the emperor or empress wanted to give him a woman.
Even the ministers would often send him women, and he had taken them into the palace before. Wasn't he one of them?
Now he has many wives and concubines. Just thinking about the palace fighting dramas where those women in the backyard of the palace fight each other to the death all day long is chilling.
Moreover, she knew that Li Rui must have higher goals, and perhaps he would have the opportunity to compete for that position in the future. By then, it would not just be the business of these women in the backyard.
It’s not that she can’t fight, but she really doesn’t want to live that kind of life.
Maybe she was a little attracted to Li Rui, but she cared more about her own feelings.
That kind of life is really not suitable for her. So it is better to make it clear. After this period of contact, she found that Li Rui is not the kind of person who is arbitrary.
Moreover, things that have been promised before should not be easily regretted.
She gently pushed Li Rui's body and left the warm embrace.
"My Lord, the poison in your body has been cured, and I have completed what I promised you. Can I leave the palace now?"
Li Rui was delighted that An Muxi actually responded to him and took the initiative to hug his waist, but suddenly his arms felt empty and she left his arms.
Li Rui felt a little lost, but then he realized that when he was palpitating again, he no longer had the stiffness and difficulty breathing that he had before.
This refreshing feeling was so wonderful that he could finally experience the heart-pounding feeling like a normal person.
The only bad thing was that An Muxi's sudden words ruined his good mood.
This time, his deep eyes did not hide his emotions as he looked at An Muxi.
"Are you really ready to leave?"
An Muxi looked away, not daring to look him in the eye. That look really made people want to sink into it.
It has to be said that Li Rui's appearance is indeed in line with her aesthetic. Now that his poison has been cured, his eyes no longer have the coldness and indifference of the past, but are filled with affection and reluctance.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down and warned herself to be more cautious. This must be a beauty trap used by Li Rui.
She is not that kind of person!
"Your Highness, you promised me."
Li Rui's voice was a little disappointed: "Okay, I understand, but are you planning to go back to Ningguo Mansion?"
As expected, this matter could not be hidden from Li Rui, An Muxi thought.
"I have no plans to recognize them yet. You know that my personality is not suitable for staying in a large mansion."
Li Rui smiled faintly: "Actually, you don't have to worry about this. By the way, Yin Qianqian is dead."
An Muxi was stunned. She didn't know about this. She was busy helping Li Rui detoxify these days and hadn't had time to deal with Yin Qianqian. She didn't expect that she would die.
She looked at Li Rui suspiciously, and seeing a smile in his eyes, she confirmed her thoughts.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I don't have to do it myself then."
Li Rui said, "Is there anything else you need help with? Please let me know."
An Muxi thought for a moment: "Your Highness, can you give me the indentures of those maids?"
In fact, the indentures of those maids were already in An Muxi's hands, but they were maids of Prince Rui's mansion after all, so if she wanted to take them away, she would definitely have to inform Li Rui first.
Now, she can leave as long as she gets her identity documents back.
"Of course, that was originally meant for your maid. Your identity documents will be sent to you later."
An Muxi added: "Thank you very much, Your Highness. Gu Feng and Gu Lei don't have to follow me. Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue are enough. Thank you, Your Highness, for always sending people to protect me."
Li Rui originally wanted to let Gu Feng and Gu Lei continue to follow An Muxi, so that he could keep track of her news at any time, and also so that he would feel more at ease knowing that she could be protected.
It seems that she is determined to draw a clear line between herself and the Rui Palace. Well, Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue are still by her side anyway.
An Muxi didn't know that Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue were also Li Rui's subordinates. Although it was much safer for her to follow the two secret guards, she always felt like she was being monitored, which was a bit uncomfortable.
Since I am leaving Prince Rui's Mansion, I have to separate completely. I definitely can't let those two people follow me anymore.
Li Rui readily agreed. After a moment of silence, An Muxi said, "Since the prince is fine, I will go back and pack my things. I will leave the palace tomorrow."
Li Rui really had no idea what to do with this little woman. He sighed, "Okay, take care of yourself from now on. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."
An Muxi nodded, but thought in her heart that they had to live on their own from now on.
As soon as I walked out of the bedroom door, Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue came to greet me.
An Muxi smiled and said, "It's safe, the man is dead, let's go."
Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue followed An Muxi back to Furong Courtyard.
"Pack your things. We should leave Prince Rui's Mansion tomorrow. I have already told the prince."
Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue looked at each other without saying anything, and went back to pack their things.
An Muxi walked into her small warehouse. Most of the things in it were sent by Li Rui. These things were very valuable, but An Muxi didn't plan to take them away.
She just packed up the other things and put them in a wooden box.
Then I went back to my bedroom and packed my clothes.
He went to the study on the third floor and collected some manuscripts to take away.
After thinking for a while, he drew a cartoon version of Li Rui on a piece of paper. In the cartoon version, there was a cartoon version of Li Rui standing there with a serious expression. Next to him was a little An Muxi with curved eyebrows and eyes, who was waving a handkerchief in her hand.
There is also a text next to it: The rest of your life will be filled with mountains and seas, I hope you can follow your heart. The mountains are high and the waters are long, please take care!
After writing these words, An Muxi picked up the paper and went downstairs.
He took out the small wooden box that he had prepared in the bedroom in the past few days. Inside were all kinds of bottles and jars, including pills and powders.
She helped Li Rui do these days, as a way of thanking him for his protection and care. She closed the wooden box, put the comic on the box, and placed it on the dressing table.
At this time Lu Qingxue came over, and An Muxi heard the noise downstairs and went downstairs.
"Xi'er, are you leaving so soon?"
Lu Qingxue probably heard what Li Rui said just now, so she hurried over to say goodbye to her.
An Muxi smiled and said, "Yes, I plan to leave tomorrow, but I'm just moving to the beauty store. If you are free, you can come and visit me."
Lu Qingxue was a little melancholy: "Now that you're gone, the palace has become even more deserted."
An Muxi comforted him, "If you really feel bored, you can let all the women in the backyard out, then it will be lively."
An Muxi bent over with laughter after she finished speaking, thinking that the scene would be so beautiful.
Lu Qingxue rolled her eyes at her and said, "Please forgive me. In fact, Li Rui had already planned to send all those women out of the mansion."
An Muxi was stunned, but thinking that it had nothing to do with her in the future, she didn't say much.
"I didn't expect you to be the daughter of the Duke of Ning. I've always felt that you are somewhat similar to the Duke's wife. This is good. Even if you are no longer a member of the Prince Rui's Mansion, no one will dare to bully you."
An Muxi smiled and said, "Yes, but I don't plan to go back to the Duke's Mansion. I want to have some fun for a while before considering the future."
Lu Qingxue said with a little envy: "Sometimes I really envy you. In fact, I also want to go out and live a free and easy life."
"Don't learn from me. I'm already rebellious enough. But you're the Princess of Rui. If you leave, who will take care of the Rui Palace?"
