Mu Sihan released Nan Zhi, his large palm patted her head lovingly. “I’m leaving, so go back to the Qiao castle first. I’ll call you when I’m done.”
Nan Zhi had an unspeakable uneasiness and anxiety in her heart.
But she did not want to pass these emotions to him and so she nodded. “Okay.”
Mu Sihan walked out of the ward. Nan Zhi looked at his tall and cold back and when she thought of the lonely way he walked in the heavy rain in the video, there was suddenly a sharp pain in her heart.
“Sihan!”
She could not help calling him.
The man stopped and looked at her.
Almost in an instant, she had ran up to him and threw herself into his arms.
Putting her hands around his neck, she stood on tiptoes and kissed his lips.
When they touched, it was like a burning flame had ignited and detonated between each other’s lips. She kissed quickly, like she wanted to pour all her strength into the kiss and pass it to him.
She did not let him go until she was almost out of breath.
Pressing her forehead against his, she closed her eyes slightly, saying in a slightly breathless voice, “I’m not going anywhere, I’ll be waiting for you here.”
He looked at her bright red lips, his Adam’s apple bobbing and his slender fingers lifted to sweep her hair behind her ear, humming in a low voice.
…
After Mu Sihan left, Nan Zhi sat in the ward.
She looked at the comments below the news and felt like her body was being cut into pieces.
“We will never allow a mentally ill Crown Prince to become our King.”
“Yes, force him to step down!”
“It’s hard to see that the Crown Prince is a lunatic. The neighboring countries must be laughing their heads off!”
“Be careful what you say. The Crown Prince tends to be violent. You might be assassinated!”
Nan Zhi dared not want to look anymore. Every negative comment attacking him was like a steel pipe jabbing into her heart.
She wanted to explain to the world that he would not hurt the people. He was a competent and dedicated leader.
But who would believe her?
In most people’s minds, people with mental illnesses were not normal people.
They would be discriminated against and attacked.
Before, only few people knew about Mu Sihan’s condition, but now the world world knew about it! Not only that, it was leaked by someone close to him.
Nan Zhi did not know whether Mu Sihan could withstand a new round of attacks!
Even a normal person would find it unbearable, right?
…
Mu Sihan left from the back door of the hospital.
He avoided the reporters lying in waiting to ambush him at the hospital, but he had to go through the front door to get back to the office.
Reporters were already standing there.
Seeing Mu Sihan’s car coming, they all surrounded him.
“Your Highness, have you seen the two videos circulating on the internet? You attacked an innocent passerby on the street. Have you apologized yet?”
“Do you think people with mental illness can lead this country well?”
“Are you returning to the office to request permission to resign?”
“Did you hear the voices of the people? Everyone has already asked you to step down, what are your thoughts on this?”
“Your mother revealed that you are no longer fit to be the Crown Prince. What do you have to say about it?”
Every question of the reporters was like a bomb, sharp and penetrating.
The well-defined outline of Mu Sihan was tense and he was silent all the way, his expression cold and fierce, like Satan who had came out of hell, making people fear him.
It was supposed to be a few minutes only, but it took nearly ten minutes to get rid of the reporters. Mu Sihan lowered his eyes and kept his thin lips pursed, not saying a word.
Entering the office, the staff who came and went no longer looked at Mu Sihan with respect, but with fear and panic, regarding him as a devil they wished to avoid.
Mu Sihan ignored them and went into the lobby with heavy steps.
The secretaries outside the Crown Prince’s office all looked uneasy. After news like that came out, the Queen and the relatives had arrived at the conference room to prepare for an emergency meeting.
The situation in the Royal family would be changing again.
The elevator door opened and the tall man in black shirt and pants came out. The calm and cold air from his body, with a calming spirit, calmed down the fearful and uneasy in people.
The secretaries stood up and shouted respectfully, “Your Highness.”
Mu Sihan nodded his head expressionlessly. He could see worry and panic in their eyes.
His swept his dark eyes around with a soothing look. “Everyone carry on your work normally, don’t let the news affect your mood.”
As a leader, his courage was incomparable. A simple sentence could make people feel more at ease.
Mu Sihan headed for his office.
Someone then shouted, “Your Highness, I believe you.”
Mu Sihan’s long legs stopped.
He looked back at the secretary who had shouted. Then, the other secretaries shouted one after another, “Your Highness, we also believe you.”
Although the Crown Prince was strict usually, he had the ability, finesse and vigour, working with him was like relying on an impenetrable mountain.
They don’t want him to be abdicated.
Even if he really had a mental illness.
Mu Sihan nodded to them. “No matter who leads you, you must do your work well and serve the country.”
Mu Sihan went into the office and picked up a document before going to the conference room.
…
At the moment, the conference room was full of people.
The Queen, members of the Royal family and relatives had all congregated.
Ye Fengjun sat together with Madam Ye. Over the past years it was well known that Madam Ye seldom attended the Royal meetings. This time she had come for the sake of Ye Qing.
Ye Qing also came to the meeting. The Queen doted on him and allowed him to sit beside her, even though it was originally the Crown Prince’s seat.
Ye Fengjun said to Madam Ye in a low voice, “Why did you say those words in the interview? You will destroy our other son!”
When she heard Ye Fengjun’s words, a trace of mockery flashed past her eyes. “You really sail with the wind. Do you think if you butter him up, he will be filial to you in the future? What he hates the most in the world is us. Only by supporting Ah Qing up can we benefit!”
Ye Fengjun was stubborn before, thinking that Mu Sihan was the kind of person Madam Ye said he was. But after a period of time together, he found that he was not.
After all, they as parents had done him wrong, but he did not seek revenge on them.
He was just a child who lacked love.
“You’re still as selfish as ever! You’ll regret it someday!” Ye Fengjun said coldly.
Madam Ye laughed. “When did you become so kindhearted? If you don’t support Ah Qing when the meeting starts later, don’t think about having a good life in the future!”
Ye Fengjun was speechless.
Ye Qing, who was sitting beside the Queen, looked around the conference room. He shot a look at the host and the host said immediately, “I believe everyone has seen the situation currently. The Crown Prince has a mental illness and the people are calling for him to step down. I believe you understand that the Crown Prince is too dangerous now. As he is unable to be a qualified leader, we cannot have him as ours.”
