Chapter 404 Let’s Go Home (4)
Qin Feng took a few quick steps and said seriously, "Your Majesty, should we set up camp here and rest today, or should we hurry back to Qinglong Country?"
Mu Zihan raised his head, looked at Wei Ning, and said, "Rest for a day before continuing on your journey."
Qing Ning never said she wanted to go back to Qinglong Country, so if I set off now, I would be separated from her. Although I know she will leave sooner or later, I don't want her to leave so soon.
"Yes." Qin Feng was a little disappointed. It seemed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not planning to return to Qinglong Kingdom. After all, if her identity as a woman was announced to the world, it might cause an uproar.
Wei Ning was walking, and suddenly turned back and asked: "Uncle, are you tired?"
Mu Zihan was stunned, and Qin Feng was also stunned.
This is a very common greeting. If it sounds normal under normal circumstances, it is absolutely normal.
But after last night, Qin Feng knew very well that it was really a whole night, so it came up with... the issue of men's dignity.
"Ahem..." Mu Zihan lowered his head, coughed lightly , and said calmly, "Of course I'm not tired."
"Then why take a day off?"
"You're not feeling well and need to rest." Mu Zihan gave the perfect reason so as not to involve himself with it.
"I am in good health and can go on the road now."
"where are you going?"
Wei Ning turned around and looked at him in surprise: "Uncle Huang, aren't you going with me?"
Mu Zihan was slightly stunned, as if he didn't hear clearly what she said for a moment, or he didn't dare to believe what she said.
"Forget it, I'll go by myself." Wei Ning turned her head away and pretended to leave in anger.
"Qingning!" Mu Zihan came back to his senses, quickly chased after her, and grabbed her arm from behind, "Be good, don't be willful, of course I want to go with you, where do you want to go?"
"I want to go home." Wei Ning looked back at him and said seriously, "Uncle, if I am no longer the crown prince, will Qinglong Kingdom still be my home?"
Once she returns to Qinglong Country, her identity as a woman will be revealed, and she doesn't know what will be waiting for her.
Will those stubborn old ministers forgive her? She has been disguising herself as a man, occupying the position of crown prince for so many years, affecting the country's destiny, and now she wants the empress to ascend the throne...
Thinking of Mu Qingtong, Wei Ning was even more at a loss. From childhood to adulthood, she had received protection and sacrifice. In Mu Qingtong's heart, the prince was the one she needed to protect, because the prince was the future of Qinglong Kingdom and no mistakes could be made.
So she would rather suffer and be humiliated herself than protect this cowardly brother.
If she knew that the brother she had protected for so many years was actually a woman like her, would she feel that all the abuse and insults she had suffered over the years were too unfair and more like a mockery?
Mu Zihan gently held her in his arms. He knew what she was thinking and felt pity for her. "I said, I will take care of everything. You are not the crown prince anymore, but you can be my princess, or anyone you want to be."
