[World 5] Chapter 139

　　"Don't be afraid, he's not a ghost, he's a living person."

　　Jiang Mu stood up and slowly walked to Gu Jue, reached out and touched his face, then smiled and said to Gu Jue: "Aren't you, right?"

　　Huanruo widened her eyes and watched Jiang Mu touching Gu Jue's face. Gu Jue did not resist, but looked indifferent.

　　Everybody knows that she knew Gu Jue very well. After all, they had been husband and wife. Gu Jue had a cold and arrogant personality and was cold towards people. She had never been so intimate with him in front of others.

　　After Gu Jue married her, he always treated her with respect. The life of the couple was very dull and boring. She regretted marrying Gu Jue. At that time, she thought that it was useless to only look at looks and talents. She married an iceberg. The life was dull and there was no romance at all. There were no sweet words. Even for that kind of thing, she had to take the initiative.

　　Once, she wanted to act intimate and affectionate with him in front of others, but he pushed her away. Afterwards, he told her to be dignified and reserved, which made her very angry.

　　But why, even though Jiang Mu teased him like that, he didn't react at all.

　　Is this still the Gu Jue she knows?

　　Huanruo stared at the two of them blankly, only to see Jiang Mu put her hand on Gu Jue's chest, then leaned close to his chest and listened.

　　"He not only has temperature, but also a heartbeat."

　　Jiang Mu's actions went beyond just intimacy.

　　Huan Ruo said in disbelief: "Empress, what are you... what do you mean? How could he appear in the Queen's Palace?"

　　Jiang Mu: "Oh? Why not? Are you going to go out and report me?"

　　Huanruo was startled and said quickly, "No, I don't dare."

　　"I don't dare. Do you really not dare or do you not dare to do now?"

　　Jiang Mu lifted the curtain, walked in front of her, and looked down at her, as if she was looking at an ant that could be easily crushed to death.

　　Huan Ruo panicked. She felt that it was not a good thing for Jiang Mu to let her see Gu Jue. Could it be that she would really kill her here?

　　If she really killed her, no one would know. She would just have to throw her into the lake and say that she fell into the lake accidentally. The prince didn't care about her at all now and would not seek justice for her.

　　Thinking of this, Huanruo's palms broke out in cold sweat, and she said hastily, "I can't and I dare not. Your Majesty, please believe me."

　　Jiang Mu leaned over and lifted Huan Ruo's chin, "You're so scared. You really have a face that makes me feel sorry for you."

　　Huanruo's body was shaking. She thought every word Jiang Mu said was malicious. She was really scared.

　　Jiang Mu looked at Gu Jue, "Gu Jue, do you have anything to say to her?"

　　Gu Jue frowned, not knowing what Jiang Mu meant. He was already unhappy that she had called him to see Huanruo, and now she was saying this again. What did she mean? Didn't she still believe that there was no love between him and Huanruo?

　　"Nothing to say."

　　Jiang Mu could tell that he was a little angry, so she raised her eyebrows and said, "Well, since you have nothing to say, then let's not talk about it."

　　She glanced at Huanruo and said, "Why are you still kneeling? Stand up and answer the question."

　　Huanruo looked at Jiang Mu hesitantly, not daring to move.

　　Jiang Mu said: "Why don't you get up? Do you like kneeling?"

　　Huanruo's legs were actually weak and she couldn't stand up without someone's support. She opened her mouth, feeling very ashamed and not knowing what to say.

　　Jiang Mu showed a surprised expression, "If you like to kneel, then kneel down. The ground is cold, and it's not good for a woman to catch a cold."

　　Huanruo frowned and said nothing.

　　Jiang Mu covered her mouth as if she suddenly remembered something, and said, "Ouch!", "I forgot that last time you used abortion drugs to frame me and killed your own child, damaging your body and making you unable to have children again. In this case, you are not afraid of catching a cold."

　　Huanruo's face was pale, her fingers were clenched, and she lowered her head to look at the ground.

　　Gu Jue also looked at Huan Ruo a little more because of this sentence, but there was no extra emotion in that look, just some surprise.

　　"The Queen is right."

　　Seeing that she could still endure humiliation at this time, Jiang Mu thought highly of her.

　　This woman is really patient in order to survive. Although she may be stupid, she does have some scheming in her mind.

　　Jiang Mu suddenly said: "It's getting late, the concubine should go back..."

　　Huanruo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could finally leave, but Jiang Mu changed the subject and said, "But I still have a question to ask you. If your answer satisfies me, you can leave. But if I am not satisfied..."

　　Jiang Mu didn't finish her words, but those unfinished words made Huanruo shiver all over.

　　"Excuse me, madam."

　　"I remember that Murong Yan was infatuated with you and wanted to marry you, but you tried your best to marry Gu Jue. After Gu Jue met with disaster, you turned around and threw yourself into Murong Yan's arms... I want to hear you talk about your emotional journey."

　　Jiang Mu's words made Huanruo feel extremely humiliated.

　　Her every word was humiliating.

　　But Gu Jue was also watching her from the side. Huan Ruo bit her lip and said nothing.

　　Jiang Mu said: "What's wrong? Don't you want to tell me?"

　　Huanruo couldn't say anything, she closed her eyes and hardened her heart, and said loudly: "Because I found that I chose the wrong person."

　　Jiang Mu smiled, "No...you are not telling the truth."

　　She looked at Xue Teng and said, "Xue Teng, go and pour me a cup of tea. I prepared it especially for her."

　　Huanruo's body stiffened and she looked at Jiang Mu in surprise.

　　Did she really want to kill her?

　　Xue Teng quickly brought a cup of tea and walked up to her.

　　Xue Teng was quite tall, expressionless, and looked extremely cold. He was very intimidating standing in front of her. Huanruo looked at the cup of tea and determined that it was poisoned.

　　She shook her head and refused to drink.

　　Jiang Mu looked at her coldly, "Since she refuses to drink, just feed her."

　　Xue Teng immediately held her down and tried to force tea into her. Huan Ruo was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly shouted, "My queen! I'll say it... I chose Gu Jue before because he was the man that all the women in Beijing wanted to marry the most, and he was also the best man. But after marrying him, I regretted it. Later... when the Gu family got into trouble, I had no choice but to ask Murong Yan for help."

　　After hearing this, Jiang Mu made a gesture to stop Xue Teng.

　　After Huanruo finished speaking, she collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, not daring to look up at Gu Jue.

　　However, Gu Jue didn't react at all, he must have guessed the reason long ago.

　　Although Jiang Mu stopped Xue Teng, she was still not satisfied. She shook her head and said, "You still didn't tell the truth. I'll give you one more chance. If you don't tell the truth..."

　　Huanruo looked ugly, her face as pale as a piece of white paper. She gritted her teeth and continued, "It was me. I didn't want to die with the Gu family, so I begged Gu Jue to divorce me, and then designed to let Murong Yan rescue me and bring me into the palace. I lied to him at the beginning, saying that if it weren't for you, I would have chosen him. Because your Jiang family is in a high position and powerful, I dare not compete with you, so he hates you so much and hasn't touched you for three years."

　　These words were Huanruo's darkest secret. When she spoke them out, she was exposing her ugliest side, which simply destroyed her pride and made it impossible for her to deceive herself or face herself.

　　Jiang Mu looked at her with a sneer and said sarcastically: "You are so pathetic."

　　Huanruo's inner clothes were soaked with sweat. She felt cold all over and collapsed on the ground, unable to move.

　　Jiang Mu winked at Xue Teng, who then drank the cup of tea in front of everyone and threw the cup at Huan Ruo.

　　It dealt her a final heavy blow, crushing the last bit of defense in her heart.

　　Before Huanruo was sent out, she saw Jiang Mu smile at her and then take Gu Jue's hand.

　　…..

　　Jiang Mu pulled Gu Jue into the bedroom. It was still early. Murong Heng had important matters to discuss with court officials today and would not come to see her so early, so she still had time to do something else with Gu Jue.

　　You know, she took a lot of effort to get Xue Teng to bring Gu Jue in today.

　　Fortunately, the shadow guards sent by Murong Yan to protect her would not get too close to her. They would lurk outside the palace to protect her. As long as they don't entered her bedroom, they would not be discovered.

　　So here, Jiang Mu can do whatever she wants.

　　Gu Jue hasn't seen Jiang Mu for a long time.

　　Before Jiang Mu entered the palace, Jiang Mu told him all the truth. Although he knew Jiang Mu's identity and the reasons why she did all this, he still couldn't change his heart towards Jiang Mu.

　　Love comes from nowhere, but it grows deeper and deeper. His feelings for Jiang Mu have grown to this point without him realizing it, and he himself can't explain it clearly. Maybe it was when Jiang Mu came to see him at night that he fell in love with her at first sight.

　　Gu Jue has never cared so much about someone before. Even though he knows that she cannot belong to him alone, he is still willing to wait for her silently.

　　Now Xunhuanju is getting bigger and bigger, and he is the one who manages it. He gives all the money he earns to Xue Teng, as if this way he and Jiang Mu are always closely connected.

　　Even though she doesn't need the money at all now.

　　She is now the most noble woman in the world.

　　He also didn't expect that he would be able to see Jiang Mu again, and in the palace.

　　After listening to Huanruo's words just now, he didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart. What Huanruo did would not affect him at all.

　　However, when he thought that this was what Jiang Mu wanted him to know, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

　　Why did Jiang Mu do this?

　　Do you want him to move on from the past, completely forget Huanruo, and start a new life?

　　If so, does that mean that she cares about him too?

　　Gu Jue looked at Jiang Mu with complicated emotions.

　　He didn't know how to express his feelings, but Jiang Mu had already made her thoughts clear with her actions.

　　She clenched his hand, put it to her lips, opened her mouth and bit his index finger.

　　Gu Jue's whole body trembled, his heart tightened, and his eyes were burning and deep, wrapping around her and even swallowing her.

　　"Gu Jue, from now on, you can do whatever you want."

　　Jiang Mu's eyes were charming and attractive, bewitching Gu Jue and pulling him into the undercurrent of love.

　　Gu Jue's breathing became rapid. He hesitated for a moment, and Jiang Mu slowly undressed him, not giving him a chance to hesitate any longer.

　　"Your heart is beating so fast, you must want me very much, right?"

　　Jiang Mu said the most charming and seductive words with the most innocent and sweet expression.

　　Gu Jue closed his eyes, but Jiang Mu did not let him go. She ignited him with her pair of soft, boneless hands, making him unable to resist the temptation any longer.

　　Half an hour later, Jiang Mu slowly got up, and Gu Jue lay beside her. Jiang Mu was wrapped in a long scarf and walked in front of him. Her face was flushed, her limbs were exposed, and her long hair was loose. She looked very charming. Gu Jue looked at her deeply, a little lost in thought.

　　Jiang Mu lazily made a cup of tea and thought, it would be nice if he could give her a cigarette at this time.

　　She turned back to look at Gu Jue, smiled softly, and said gently: "You should go."
