The team going back to Nan to pray set off from Dongdu on time the next day. Riding in a carriage covered with soft brocade mattresses, Su Mumu quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and said goodbye to the capital city that she was not very familiar with.

"Madam, be careful of catching cold from the wind."

He hugged Su Mumu from behind and pulled her into his arms. The cool morning wind blew gently in from outside the car curtains. Nan Muchen covered the car curtains to prevent Su Mumu from looking around.

"I came to this eastern capital and left before I had any conditions to visit. Why didn't I even let you have a look?"

Being deliberately accused by Su Mumu, Nan Muchen hugged Su Mumu in his arms and said, cheek to cheek.

"It's still early in the morning and the wind is very cold. I have to go back to the south to pray for a long time. I don't want my wife to fall ill on the way and make me worry."

Ever since he was hit by a poison dart in a sneak attack last time, Nan Muchen has become more gentle and considerate than before, which always made Su Mumu suspect that Nan Muchen's brain was invaded by poison, creating the illusion of gentleness.

"How can it be so delicate?"

Sitting in the swaying carriage, Su Mumu really missed the days of squeezing in the bus. The two-hour bus ride was probably enough for the carriage to sway for a whole day.

"What are you thinking about, madam?"

Noticing that Su Mumu suddenly started to be in a daze, Nan Muchen curiously tilted his head and kissed the dazed Su Mumu.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just think of the old world, when there was no need to take a carriage, and even if you went abroad, you could fly there in just a few hours."

Unable to imagine the world Su Mumu mentioned, Nan Muchen was silent for a long time and asked leisurely.

"Fly? Could it be that the lady can fly?"

In fact, talking about airplanes with the ancients is a bit outrageous. Su Mumu thought about it before returning.

"No, it's a vehicle called an airplane, invented by the Lake brothers. People can fly anywhere on it, and it's extremely fast."

Silently, Nan Qi had delayed many battles due to transportation reasons. Nan Muchen, who was extremely troubled by this, heard this and yearned for it.

"It's really good, but I don't know if my wife understands the principle and can she develop an airplane."

Frustrated by Nan Muchen's wild imagination, Su Mumu sighed repeatedly.

"I am a doctor from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, and I am not studying the design and manufacturing of aircraft. How can I know the professional knowledge and how to manufacture them?"

He frowned in disappointment.

"Madam, if my husband sends someone to the time and space you mentioned, can he learn the techniques mentioned by Madam and come back?"

The more he said it, the more outrageous it became. Su Mumu's eyes widened when she heard it.

"Nan Muchen, what are you hiding? Do you have a way to send me back?"

Almost leaking the secret, Nan Muchen hurriedly stopped the conversation.

"Where did the lady go? I'm just curious, so I asked."

Feeling that Nan Muchen's words were not without reason, Su Mumu moved away and looked at Nan Muchen up and down.

"Nan Muchen, you don't hide your fox tail well, it's best to get it from the real deal."

Nan Muchen, who firmly denied it, stood up and slowly pushed Su Mumu down. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes met Su Mumu's amber star eyes.

"Madam, I want to think about my husband..."

The carriage not only bumped, it even started to shake.

The driving figure slowed down his journey and tried to drive the carriage as smoothly as possible.

The team marched for a whole day, and in the evening, they set up camp on the banks of the Jieshui River to the east.

After the camp tent was properly arranged, Nan Muchen helped Su Mumu get out of the carriage.

Forsythia and the others were busy preparing dinner and bringing it to the camp where Nan Muchen and Su Mumu were. Seeing Su Mumu's hard work, Nan Muchen, who was picky about food, took a few bites and then refused to move his chopsticks with no interest, just watching.

Su Mumu wolfed down her food.

"Husband, why don't you eat?"

Taking the handkerchief handed over by Forsythia, Su Mumu wiped her mouth and saw that half of the rice in Nan Muchen's bowl was not completely eaten. She was dissatisfied and ordered Nan Muchen to eat it quickly.

"Otherwise, I will feed my husband."

Just as he was about to take the bowls and chopsticks in front of Nan Muchen, Nan Muchen held down Su Mumu's hand first.

"My wife has worked hard all the way, and she has already eaten well for her husband, so there is no need for it."

I usually feed myself with a happy face, but now I insist on not using it. It's really weird.

"Why, without brother Jiajie as an audience, my husband can't eat anymore?"

Jialanjia's expression of jealousy and longing suddenly appeared in Nan Muchen's mind following Su Mumu's words.

"Haha, where is it? My husband feels sorry for his wife after a bumpy and tiring journey. What does it have to do with Jialan Jiajie?"

Su Mumu, who fell asleep after eating, hummed and swayed around on the chair, which frightened Nan Muchen and quickly stood up to protect her. He gently greeted Su Mumu's shoulders.

"Your Majesty, you have just had dinner, don't go to bed in a hurry, or be careful of accumulating food."

His eyelids were chattering and he couldn't make a sound. He leaned his head into Nan Muchen's arms and was about to fall asleep.

He ordered Forsythia to find a cloak and put it on Su Mumu, picked up the trapped person, and Nan Muchen strode out of the tent.

The cool night breeze made Su Mumu, who had almost fallen asleep, gradually wake up.

"Husband, let's go back to the tent and rest."

All the blood in the body flows to the stomach, and the only thing left in the mind is sleepiness.

"Madam, don't you want to take a walk with your husband?"

Nestled in Nan Muchen's arms, Su Mumu groaned dissatisfiedly.

"No, I just want to sleep."

Ignoring Su Mumu's protest, Nan Muchen put Su Mumu on the ground, took Cati and walked along the river.

Passively walking with Nan Muchen, Su Mumu's mind was filled with the warm quilt.

Suddenly she caught a glimpse of an extremely simple carriage parked at the end of the team, which was also covered with a layer of linen. Su Mumu pointed at the carriage curiously and asked Nan Muchen.

"Husband, what is this carriage for?"

Looking in the direction of Su Mumu's finger, Nan Muchen continued to hold Su Mumu's hand and walked forward.

"It's the carriage pulling Baili Ruyue's coffin."

I had never heard Nan Muchen mention it, and he had already brought Baili Ruyue's body with him to Nan Qi. Knowing that it was out of love for him that Nan Muchen did such a considerate thing, Su Mumu was moved.

I had to hold Nan Muchen's hand, but I didn't know what to say.

"Thank you, husband."

It was rare for Su Mumu to express her gratitude so tenderly. Nan Muchen felt so comfortable that even her eyebrows were filled with smiles.

It was really time to go back to Nanqi. Su Mumu, who was completely sleepless, looked at the trickling water of Jie Shui. Thinking of the short life of a person because of the Baili Ruyue, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Husband, human life is like this rolling water in the east. It is really gone and never comes back. I only hope to grow old with my husband for a limited time, so this life will be considered worthwhile." (Unfinished)
