Xie Xuanchen hugged Mu Mingtang’s slender waist lightly. He did not put any strength in his arms, fearing that he would hurt her if he used any force. Before, he had always been very proud of his tremendous power in martial arts, but today he was not.

As Mu Mingtang felt Xie Xuanchen’s gentle embrace, her heart was filled with a warm, fuzzy feeling. For a while, she stood quietly in his arms, before finally extending her arms to hug Xie Xuanchen back.

After learning such a dark truth today, she knew her husband was in shock, even though he hadn’t shown it. So she wanted to tell him that everything would be fine, and she would always be by his side, but she suddenly felt that words were meaningless at this time, and everything she said would appear too shallow. In the end, Mu Mingtang could only express her feelings using her actions.

As Xie Xuanchen felt Mu Mingtang’s movements, the strength in his hands gradually increased, as if the illusory moonlight had finally grasped the real shape, and he hugged Mu Mingtang tightly in his arms.

As time passed, the shadows of two people who were embracing each other overlapped with each other and finally turned into a single shadow.

The room was quiet for a while, until when Mu Mingtang’s soft comforting words sounded, “Everything will get better. No, it’s already getting better.”

Xie Xuanchen responded in a low voice: “I know.”

Mu Mingtang’s presence had given Xie Xuanchen a great relief. God had been playing a cruel joke on him for a long time, but he finally showed Xie Xuanchen some mercy. This time, he got some hopes and wanted to live.

His woman should have a worry-free, happy life, so he was determined to do everything he could to give her that lifestyle.

After knowing the cause, it was necessary to gradually get rid of this evil curse. The first step was to prevent Wuyufei from triggering his mind.

As the little Taoist had said, both Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen suspected Wuyufei was mixed with lavender. Before going to bed at night, Mu Mingtang thought hard and long on how to get rid of the incense from their clothes while arousing no suspicion.

Adding incense to clothes was a part of etiquette, and the only clothes that had been scented were considered clothes suitable to wear. If Mu Mingtang rashly informed maids not to use incense, she would not be able to justify herself, and would definitely arouse the emperor’s suspicion.

So changing the type of incense would be a good cover. After all, they could not use lavender as they already knew the danger.

Time was very crucial, and Xie Xuanchen also needed some time to recover fully. So they could only protect themselves by feigning ignorance. They could not expose themselves too early, especially they could not let the other party know that they had already found the truth.

Mu Mingtang thought for a long time but couldn’t think of a perfect solution. She asked Xie Xuanchen, and Xie Xuanchen also couldn’t think of a solution for a while.

In the end, Xie Xuanchen gave up as he said, “Let’s leave it be for now. Anyway, we have been using it for a long time, so it won’t make much difference by a day or two.”

Xie Xuanchen’s attitude and response had angered Mu Mingtang to the point that she got a headache. She had been thinking about it for half the night, so when she woke up the next morning, her mood was not right. To be more specific, it was super bad.
