They rushed all the way and finally reached the palace half an hour later. Thanks to the empress's order, the two of them got in without any hindrance and smoothly arrived at the theater garden.
Jing Xunche had been to the palace before, but he had no idea why the guards were leading him to the theater garden. Could it be that the empress had summoned them here to watch a play?
After a while, they finally arrived at the theater garden. There, the empress and Mu Fengqie were standing on the stage, looking at him from afar. At this moment, both of their hearts were filled with tension, for neither of them was fully confident, and they had no idea what the outcome would be.
Seeing his woman, Yuan Yuhan quickly rushed to A Ru's side. But at this moment, A Ru's mind was completely elsewhere. She was also worried about her elder sister.
She whispered beside Yuan Yuhan, "If he doesn't catch elder sister later, you must go and catch her. Don't let elder sister fall."
He was extremely puzzled upon hearing this. He widened his eyes and asked in confusion, "What do you mean? What's going to happen next?"
"Anyway, just remember what I said. Don't let elder sister get hurt, or I'll hold you accountable!"
A Ru glared fiercely at Yuan Yuhan.
Jing Xunche was a bit confused for a moment. Why were the two of them standing on the stage at the same time? He began to suspect the actions of these two women.
When the empress saw his figure, she also showed a smile and then slowly said, "Azhen, I don't believe you don't love me anymore. So I hope you won't disappoint me."
After saying that, the empress glanced at Mu Fengqie. Mu Fengqie nodded in response, and then the two women jumped off the stage at the same time.
Jing Xunche was stunned by the bold actions of these two women. He widened his eyes in disbelief at what was happening before him. Jumping from such a high stage, they were simply disregarding their own safety. It was extremely foolish!
Actually, in his heart, he wanted to save Mu Fengqie. But his sharp eyes caught sight of the nail under the empress. If the empress were to fall and land on the nail, she would probably lose her life.
For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma. As the two women were getting closer and closer to the ground, the time left for him was running out.
As time passed, everyone's hearts became more and more tense, especially the two women who were rapidly descending. They were both extremely nervous, not knowing what decision he would make.
After much thought, Jing Xunche still rushed towards the empress. He was sure that there was no nail under Mu Fengqie, which meant that even if she fell from such a high place, she wouldn't be in great danger.
But it was different for the empress. If she fell straight from the stage and landed on the nail, she might not survive. After all, human life was of the utmost importance.
When Yuan Yuhan saw the two women jump off the stage, he guessed what was going on. He had thought that his brother would go to save Mu Fengqie, but unexpectedly, he rushed in the other direction.
Only then did he remember what A Ru had said. He immediately got up and flew towards Mu Fengqie. Mu Fengqie watched helplessly as the man she loved ran towards another woman. At that moment, her heart gradually turned cold, and then she slowly closed her eyes, waiting to land.
When Yuan Yuhan caught her, his hanging heart finally relaxed. He was glad that he hadn't let A Ru down. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be Jing Xunche who would be in big trouble.
Mu Fengqie opened her eyes weakly and then struggled out of Yuan Yuhan's arms. She walked out like a zombie.
The empress knew that he would definitely come to save her. She happily hugged his neck tightly and suddenly felt a sense of having something lost and then regained.
She had deliberately set things up under the stage to prevent Jing Xunche from doing something that would break her heart. Anyway, she had won this round, and it was a very beautiful victory. Seeing Mu Fengqie's dejected look, the empress felt secretly pleased.
Jing Xunche knew that his Qie'er must be sad and angry, but he had done what he did just now unintentionally. So he wanted to explain to Mu Fengqie, but the empress in his arms just wouldn't get off. Her hands were still tightly clutching his neck.
"Qie'er! Qie'er, listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think. I actually wanted to save you. You really misunderstood me." Jing Xunche explained anxiously.
Hearing this, Mu Fengqie didn't stop her steps. She snorted coldly and continued walking like a zombie.
Jing Xunche knew that she must be feeling bad, so he quickly threw the empress off. The empress wasn't angry about being forcibly thrown off because she had won this day's battle. She assumed that Mu Fengqie must have been greatly affected.
Jing Xunche quickly ran towards Mu Fengqie and caught up with her in no time. He nervously grabbed her hand and said, "Qie'er, my explanation is really not what you imagine. You really misunderstood me."
Mu Fengqie used all her strength to shake off his hand. She thought the hand that had just held another woman was dirty. She could only blame herself for misjudging the person. She had thought that the person he liked was herself, but it seemed that she had been being self - indulgent all along.
"Between your wife and another woman, you chose to save the other woman. So tell me, did I misunderstand you? What else do I need to do to not misunderstand you? Should I also believe it was a misunderstanding if you slept with her in the same bed?" Mu Fengqie almost roared.
Her words left Jing Xunche speechless. He hadn't expected her to react so strongly. He had thought that if he explained it to her properly, she would understand him. Now, her strong reaction left him at a loss.
If he had known earlier, he should have told Yuan Yuhan to save the empress. But in that critical moment, he simply couldn't think of anyone else. Now, it was useless to say so much. The only thing he could do was to seek Mu Fengqie's forgiveness.
"Qie'er, I love you. Don't you believe me? In that situation at that time, I had to save her because..."
Jing Xunche's words were interrupted by the emotional Mu Fengqie. "Stop! Don't say anything more. I'm not a three - year - old child, and I'm not that easy to deceive. Take your excuse to deceive someone else. Jing Xunche, I want a divorce from you. We'll never see each other again in this lifetime!"
After saying that, Mu Fengqie turned around, and at this moment, her tears uncontrollably flowed down.
