Mu Yelai smiled slightly, covered up his clothes, and said, "Of course not, I'm worried about what happened to you." You've known me for so long, and you still don't know who I am? After a pause, he said, "Why is your wife here?" - Do you want me to explain it to her? Let's just say that today is the request of the crown princess, but it is not my idea. This is hinting to Xiao Shiji that it is not that she wants to follow him, but that the crown prince and the crown princess are not at ease......

Xiao Shiji remembered Du Hengshuang's expression just now, and he was very uneasy, but at the moment he didn't have so much energy to share it with her, but this level in front of him was in vain, his previous efforts were in vain, if the prince knew about his and Prince Yi's intentions, maybe the two of them would be killed immediately.

He followed the prince for a while, and he still didn't have any eyebrows about the possible "traitor", seeing that Prince Yi's power was being eaten away by the prince little by little, this sense of powerlessness to sit still made him and Prince Yi very bored.

In the past, he could hold everything in his hands, but now he found that no matter how he walked, he seemed to have a pair of eyes staring at them behind his back, like a thorn in his back, and every step was like walking on the tip of a knife.

The Wan family, which fell not long ago, and the Xu family, who had just been exiled, were all bloody examples in front of him.

Can he let his beloved wife and three children with the same flesh and blood in his heart suffer the same fate as the Wan family and the Xu family?

Since you have come to this Vanity Fair, it is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Further, there is the possibility of going further.

But retreating is an abyss, he can't afford to retreat, and he can't afford to lose.

The problem is that there are so many of them, but they still don't know where they lost, and they don't understand who gave him the prince's strategy of anticipating the enemy everywhere......

How deep are the traitors hidden, how could they even take the lead in some of their spare strongholds and manpower?

What's even more irritating. They have suffered a lot. But he didn't dare to say a word, and if he did, it would be a greater disaster.

Sometimes, Xiao Shiji also wanted to persuade Prince Yi to stop. Just be a prince who is above 10,000 people under one person. Why do you have to compete for the top spot?

Prince Yi said. He doesn't fight, only the family will die. He didn't want his princess and his sister-in-law to retreat because he was timid for a while. and suffered a catastrophe of destruction.

Anyway, if you don't fight, it's better to fight once, and if you win, it's a kill.

Such a gamble will not be let go of any man with ambition.

Siu Shiji asked himself, he couldn't resist such a temptation.

And the more he came into contact with His Majesty, the Crown Prince and Prince Yi, the more he leaned towards Prince Yi.

It's not because Prince Yi is the kindest, or because he is the most generous, but Prince Yi is the one who respects him the most. Prince Yi never used all kinds of power tricks to test him, even if at that time he alienated Prince Yi in order to get rid of the image of Prince Yi's retainers, Prince Yi did not complain, and did not even take the opportunity to retaliate against him, but continued to work hard to help him where he could, and fulfill his image of a "pure minister".

The prince's wooing certainly moved him, but in the prince and His Majesty, what he got was never respect, but the scheming and checks and balances of the superior to the subordinate, which he didn't like and even disgusted.

He could imagine that if the crown prince succeeded to the throne, this situation would inevitably continue, and his life would have to be spent in self-defilement and loneliness.

The prince himself has no talent for military generals, so he is very jealous of military generals. But he also needs Wu Li to help him consolidate this new dynasty that has just been established, so his attention and use of Xiao Shiji is always swaying between trust and suspicion.

And Prince Yi is different, he himself is an unborn military wizard, but he has never been proud of this, but tries his best to dilute his image in this regard, and he has tried his best to promote Xiao Shihe to the position of the god of war of the "Imperial Shuangbi", which is proof. Prince Yi said that he would rather be a Bole than a Maxima.

With the status of Prince Yi, he doesn't need to be a Maxima himself.

The crown prince is different. He wants to be both Bole and Maxima, and he doesn't like the Maxima he picks out and runs ahead of him.

The more Xiao Shiji and the prince were abusive, the more he could feel that the prince wanted to use him and was very jealous.

Of course, he had to say that it was normal and correct for the prince to have this mentality.

Because once the prince really reuses Xiao Shiji, it will be the beginning of the annihilation of the prince's entire army.

The generals who defected from the enemy camp and can still be reused and trusted are basically the ones in a thousand miles.

The prince is now at this crossroads of "use or not".

Thinking of this, Xiao Shiji took a deep breath, threw up his sleeves, and strode towards the mountain.

Mu Yelai hurriedly followed behind and said angrily, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

Although Xiao Shiji didn't look back, his pace slowed down.

By the time they reached the top of the mountain where the feast was held, they were already walking side by side.

The Xiahou family and his entourage just now had already arrived, and they were being led by the prince to clink glasses and drink with the people who came to the banquet today.

Zhu Susu stared at Xiahou Yuan's appearance, she couldn't take her eyes off, and she forgot to eat a piece of cantaloupe that An Zichang cut for her in her hand.

An Zichang looked at her like this, it was really embarrassing, and he couldn't help but kick her secretly, and said in a low voice: "You wipe your saliva, okay?" ”

Zhu Susu subconsciously wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

Anzi often looked away, and laughed with a shake of his shoulders.

Only then did Zhu Susu realize that An Zichang deliberately ridiculed her, and not to be outdone, kicked him under the table, and said in a low voice: "Don't interrupt." - Don't you think that the great-grandson of the 'side hat merry' beauty, the little prince, looks a little like a person? ”

When the prince introduced Xiahou Yuan to everyone just now, he had already said the allusion of his great-grandfather's "side hat romance".

Anzi often choked, disguised his head and drank wine.

Zhu Susu squinted at An Zichang, knowing that he understood who she was talking about. Snorted softly, "Don't pretend." If you go to Dingzhou in person to recruit the Xiahou family, will you not be able to see it? ”

An Zichang sat quietly for a while before looking at the wine glass on the table in front of him and said, "If you think about your friends, don't mention this stubble." - If she gets noticed, she's even more troublesome. You still don't think she's in trouble enough? ”

Zhu Susu understood, also lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and then looked up, just in time to see Xiao Shiji and Mu Yelai walking out of the forest path side by side like a pair of beautiful people, so he put the wine glass on the table. Sneered: "Okay." I don't mention this stubble, I don't mention other stubble! So saying, he stood up, with a drunken spirit. Walk over to Xiao Shiji. Stand in front of Mu Yelai.

Xiao Shiji ignored Zhu Susu. Take care of yourself and move forward.

Mu Yelai was blocked by Zhu Susu. She went to the left, and Zhu Susu went to the left. She went to the right, and Zhu Susu went to the right. And so on three times. Mu Yelai was a little annoyed, but in front of everyone, she couldn't get up, so she had to ask with a smile: "Zhu Langzhong, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Susu pointed to his nose and said, "You are wrong, you should call me Duchess Anguo, not Zhu Langzhong." ”

Mu Yelai hurriedly changed his words and said to Zhu Sufu, "I've seen the Duchess of Anguo, can you let me go?" ”

"Can't!" Zhu Susu put his hands behind his back and glared at Mu Yelai. As soon as she remembered the appearance of Mu Yelai and Xiao Shiji she saw just now, she was on fire. But Xiao Shiji is a big man, she is just a little woman who "bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard", she didn't dare to find Xiao Shiji, so she had to take Mu Ye to vent her anger without any chance.

Mu Yelai endured his anger and said with a smile: "Why is this? Could it be that this land was bought by An Guogong? ”

Everyone knows that this pleasure was originally a royal property.

Mu Yelai actually provoked Zhu Susu to be so domineering, it may be because An Guogong has ambitions for this place, and he is really suspicious as soon as he opens his mouth.

Zhu Susu was drinking at this time, his mind was a little dizzy, and he didn't grasp the viciousness in Mu Yelai's words, but just said according to his own wishes: "Of course this is not our industry, but this is not the place where you should come!" ”

Why is that? You can come, why can't I come? Mu Yelai saw that good words were useless, and he couldn't help but raise his voice, wanting to attract the attention of the prince and come over to relieve her.

As a result, the prince was busy introducing Xiahou Yuan to Xiao Shihe, and he didn't pay attention to her side at all.

Instead, I attracted a few of the singers and Maiko who had been called to accompany them today, standing beside them and pointing curiously.

Mu Yelai blushed and said in a low voice: "Duchess Anguo, where did Yelai offend you, you want to give Yelai no face like this?" ”

Zhu Susu sneered: "I have no face for you? Didn't you be willing to be cheap yourself?! ”

This time, Zhu Susu's voice was exceptionally high-pitched, and finally attracted the attention of these people in the banquet hall.

Xiahou Yuan looked at Zhu Susu curiously and said to Mr. Wen beside him.

The prince glanced at this, then walked back to his original position with Xiao Shiji and asked, "Shiji, where did you go just now?" ”

Xiao Shi and Zhilu Dao couldn't hide this matter from the prince at all, so they said: "I'm going to chase Neizi." ”

"Oh?" The prince's face changed suddenly, and he did not escape Xiao Shiji's eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that since the last time, Neiko has become more and more stubborn, suspicious of me, and always follows and monitors me. You know, I hate being stalked the most, so I'm angry when I see it today. After catching up with her, if it weren't for the advice of your attendants, I would have beaten her home and lay down. - These girls, if they are far away, they are resentful, and if they are close, they are not inferior, they are really ...... Alas......" said, drinking the glass of wine in front of him, looking very sad.

When the prince heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He has been sending people to follow Xiao Shi and his surroundings, in addition to Mu Yelai, there are also several hidden piles.

It's not that he doesn't trust Xiao Shiji, but the relationship between Xiao Shihe and Prince Yi in the previous life is too harmonious, and he can't let go of the things in the previous life.

Returning to his seat, the prince also silently drank a glass of wine, pondering what Xiao Shihe meant by what he had just said. Is he just complaining about his wife Du Hengshuang, or is he deliberately saying it to himself, indicating that he knows that the prince is sending people to follow him, and he doesn't like to be stared at......

But if he doesn't stare at it, the prince is really not at ease.

He was the one who had died once, and he became more and more distrustful of the people around him. If he didn't send anyone to keep an eye on his subordinates, he always suspected that these people would be bought by Prince Yi just like in the previous life.

In the previous life, he was pierced through his heart by his younger brother Prince Yi Qi Yi's arrow, and the pain in his heart made him still have palpitations. How could he know that the two gatekeepers of Chengtianmen that he trusted so much were actually Prince Yi's people for a long time!

Because he has been deceived, he should be more cautious, and it is not an exaggeration for him to do this, right?

The prince groaned, ate a mare's milk grape handed over by the concubine next to him, and raised his eyes to look at Zhu Susu and Mu Yelai.

Mu Yelai finally couldn't help it, his eyes were full of tears, and he choked up: "Why did Duchess An Guo say this? The night is innocent, and now I am a virgin, how can I say that I am willing to be cheap?! ”

Zhu Susu pointed at the woman here loudly and said, "Don't change the topic!" Saying that you are willing to be cheap, does it have anything to do with whether you are a virgin or not? - Look at the women who come here today, either the singers and dancers who serve people, or the main room that is being served, what about you, what are you? But there is an unmarried serious girl who comes here to serve wine and cloth dishes to a man who is not related to him? You say? You're neither a main room nor a side room, are you a singer and a maiko?! ”

Mu Yelai was stammered by Zhu Susu's question, and was stunned for a long time and said, "I am a female official sent by the crown princess, why can't I participate in the banquet here?" ”

"Huh? Are you a female officer? How many products? Since you are an official of the imperial court, why do you still pester other people's husbands? ——The court officials want to be small, do you know the way of your majesty? Zhu Susu was only stunned, and immediately found a topic to attack Mu Yelai.

Mu Yelai's face turned red, and he quickly glanced at Xiao Shiji and the other side, but when he saw him bowing his head and drinking stuffy wine, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly whispered to Zhu Susu: "Duchess Anguo, I know that you are a good friend of Mrs. Zhu Guohou, since you won't let me go, why don't you help me persuade Zhu Guohou to stop drinking so much." - Alcohol hurts his body, and his stomach is not very good......"

Zhu Susu stared at Mu Yelai suspiciously, "How do you know that the Marquis of Daozhu has a bad stomach?" - I don't even know what to do. "The peace of the master of the Marquis of Zhuguo Mansion was invited by her, and she knows Xiao Shiji's physical condition very well.

Mu Yelai was suffocated, and said secretly, Xiao Shihe's current body is of course good, but he has been depressed for two years, not only his stomach, but even his liver will have problems, just like in his previous life......

Of course, she can't say arrogantly, this is how the previous life developed, she can only dodge and say: "Drinking on an empty stomach hurts the stomach the most, Duchess Anguo is the national hand of Xinglin, won't she know the way?" ”

Zhu Susu stared at her for a long time and snorted, "You don't want to snatch other people's jobs at every turn, okay?" Don't pretend to be a good wife and pretend to be a miracle doctor, you look at you...... Yes! ”

Xiahou Yuan listened to it for a long time before he understood what was going on, and he couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face.
