Zhao Xuanling closed his eyes and leaned against the edge of the barrel, the hot air from the hot water enveloped his face, making his face seem to be shrouded in a layer of white mist, which was hazy and unreal.

"The king has returned to his fiefdom."

"Iron Horse Castle?" Lin Mumu was slightly surprised, she hadn't thought about this possibility before. "Why did the prince secretly go back?"

Zhao Xuanling suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of fierceness. "The Rong clan wants to take advantage of the weakening of the defenders of the Iron Horse Fortress to capture the Iron Horse Fortress, how can this king let them succeed, compared to Western Chu, the Rong clan is really strong in the military department, if they concentrate their forces to attack the city at that time, 100,000 soldiers and horses will not be able to stand it at all."

"So it's fake that the prince went to attack Xichu, and it's true that he wants to take the opportunity to return to Iron Horse City?"

Zhao Xuanling nodded. "If the Iron Horse Warrior City loses its head, the Western Chu side will definitely take the opportunity to increase troops and horses to break through the defense line of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and when the Eastern Jin Dynasty suffers from the enemy, what will the Eastern Jin Dynasty do."

Lin Mumu was silent, Western Chu was on par with the Eastern Jin Dynasty in terms of armament, and the Rong people were a powerful fighting nation, if the two countries were riveting enough to fight the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty would definitely be very dangerous, so Zhao Xuanling had to find a way to return to the Iron Horse City to repel the Rong people, as long as the Rong people retreated, Western Chu would definitely be more afraid.

"Then Xichu is still going to continue fighting?"

"This king has captured their commander, and the monarch of Western Chu has issued a peace letter."

"Will the emperor agree to negotiate peace?"

Zhao Xuanling's dark eyes narrowed. "He will promise that he will not let the number of soldiers and horses in the hands of this king increase again."

For Emperor Showa, Zhao Xuanling can be said to have seen it very thoroughly.

On the second day of Zhao Xuanling's return, Emperor Showa announced that he wanted to negotiate peace with Western Chu, and after Western Chu learned about it, he asked Emperor Showa to marry the princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in order to express the friendship between the two countries.

In the early dynasty, in addition to Emperor Showa's promise to Xichu and his relatives, there was another thing that shocked the ministers, that is, the king once again asked Emperor Showa to marry Lin Mumu.

Before this difference, Emperor Showa agreed with a wave of his hand, as for the previous marriage to Zhao Xuanling and Meng Nanfei, because Zhao Xuanling did not receive the holy decree, this matter was done, and no one dared to mention it anyway.

When the marriage decree was sent to the house, Lin Mumu was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, it's a big step towards the end of victory!" Holding the marriage decree, Lin Mumu jumped up happily.

"What's the end of the eldest lady?" Shuangshuang asked with a stupid look on his face.

Lin Mumu looked at her and smiled evilly. "Of course it's to knock down the prince and give him a monkey!"

With a shake of both faces, the eldest lady shouted out so blatantly, it was really ...... Shameless!

Also, the prince is a monkey? Why raw monkeys! Can't you have someone!

The fact that the royal king wants to marry Lin Mumu still caused a lot of sensation in Xijing, one is the god of war admired by everyone in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, even if there were some bad rumors about him that circulated in Xijing for a long time, but after Zhao Xuanling came back with the book of discussion, everyone forgot about the previous rumors as if they had lost their memory, and Zhao Xuanling was still the true god in their hearts that could not be blasphemed.

But now that this god-like character is going to marry a wife, or marry a divorced woman, it's hard not to be shocked by this news!

The most angry is Meng Nanfei, who was given to marry Zhao Xuanling before, during the time when Zhao Xuanling disappeared, Meng Nanfei kept a lot of low profile, and she would not go out of the house to see people until she had to, but since Zhao Xuanling returned to Beijing, she began to appear at various feasts again, completely claiming to be the princess, but now as soon as the news of Zhao Xuanling marrying Lin Mumu as a concubine came out, Meng Nanfei's face was about to be swollen, and as soon as she went out, she was ridiculed by the ladies who were usually not used to her, laughing at her for being happy. And she completely blamed Lin Mumu for everything she had suffered.

"It's all Lin Mumu, a slut, if she didn't have the shame to rob me of the king, how could the king be soft-hearted and agree to marry her!" Meng Nanfei hated it to the extreme, after the news of Zhao Xuanling's marriage to Lin Mumu came out, she was about to become the biggest joke in the Xijing Gui circle!

"The slave maid heard that in order to commend the king, the emperor decreed that the king and Lin Mumu should get married within half a month......"

"Smack!"

"Ahh Before the maid's words were finished, Meng Nanfei was slapped heavily in the face.

The maid was so painful that her tears rushed out, but she still knelt down in front of Meng Nanfei and begged for mercy as soon as possible. "Miss's anger ......"

Meng Nanfei's heart hurt and kicked on the maid's shoulder. "Get out of here, useless stupid thing!"

"Yes, yes......" The maid crawled out of the room.

When the maid who was guarding the door saw her come out, she pulled her aside and looked at the injuries on her face.

"You are really, Miss hates Lin Mumu to death in her heart now, don't you know what to say and what not to say?"

The maid covered her face aggrievedly. "What I'm saying is just the truth, even if Miss is angry, the emperor's decree has been issued, and the king is willing to marry Miss Lin, can Miss still want Miss Lin's life?"

The other maid listened and covered her mouth. "You mouth, sooner or later you will kill yourself, if you let the young lady hear and don't pick your skin, don't go and apply a cool cloth to your face, it will be swollen and ugly."

"Hmm."

Unbeknownst to the two, the conversation they thought was secret was heard word by word by Meng Nanfei.

The maid standing behind Meng Nanfei trembled, and she didn't dare to raise her head at all.

"Tear her mouth out for me!"

"Yes, yes."

Meng Nanfei clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, who said that she couldn't take Lin Mumu's life!?

"Since my cousin got married, I haven't seen her for a long time, you go and send a post to the eldest princess's mansion, just say that I miss my cousin and want to see her."

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

Lin Mumu and Zhao Xuanling's wedding date is set at the end of the month, it is said that less than half a month is extremely rushed, but Lin Mumu can't marry Zhao Xuanling tomorrow, this half a month is still too long for her!

After Lin Mumu was dismissed, she didn't have to report to the Women's Medical Office every day, and stayed in the house every day.

The princess's wedding dress was specially prepared, so Lin Mumu didn't have to worry about it at all.

Lin Mumu stayed in the house all day to study the medicine and ponder the Gu, and the time passed quite quickly.

"Miss, Ning Yuan is back."

Lin Mumu was smashing the medicinal powder in the house, and there were high-pitched voices outside the door.

She paused for a moment, raised her head and turned her stiff neck. "Quick, let him in."

Suddenly, Ning Yuan, who was covered in dust, walked into the inner hall. "Miss."

Lin Mumu looked him up and down. "The kid has lost weight and is dark, and you have worked hard all the way."

"Doing things for the eldest lady, subordinates don't feel hard."

"How's it going, have you found any useful information?" Lin Mumu poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it to him and asked.

Ning Yuan glanced at Lin Mumu, and then said after frowning: "Because many years have passed since the incident, there is very little news that the subordinates can find, and the subordinates still found some news by trying to touch the ancestral house of the Rong family this year." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Ning Yuan glanced at Lin Mumu quickly, lowered his head and said, "An old man who has served in the Rong family for many years said that when his wife got married, it was not perfect. ”

"Hmm, cough cough cough ......" Lin Mumu choked on a sip of tea and coughed violently.

This news is so exciting, dare to love her mother before marrying Lin Haode dedicated herself to love!?

Lin Mumu wiped the tea stains on the corners of her lips. "Is this news reliable?"

Ning Yuan nodded. "That old lady was originally going to marry into the Lin family with her wife, but after knowing this, she found an excuse to stay in Qingcheng, because she was afraid that she would be affected in the future."

Lin Mumu leaned back on the chair with her hands on her chest, although this surprised her, it didn't mean anything.

"Other than that, the subordinates haven't found any other news about Madame."

Lin Mumu nodded. "My mother has been dead for many years, how easy it is to find out what happened back then, you have done your best, and you have a good rest in the past few days when you have been running around for a long time."

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

As soon as Ning Yuan came out of the house, Ning Xiang ran over and grabbed his hand with a happy face. "Brother, you can be regarded as back, don't you know that I am worried about it during this time, I am afraid that you will not take care of yourself outside, you see that you have lost weight, I asked Sister Qiaoqiao to ask me to make your favorite braised fish, you go wash and wash first, and I will bring it to you later?"

Ning Xiang took Ning Yuan's hand and crackled, but found that Ning Yuan didn't react at all.

Ning Xiang looked up at Ning Yuan, whose face was slightly condensed, and said with some concern: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ning Yuan came back to his senses and shook his head. "It's nothing, I'm a little tired from being in a hurry all the time, and I'll eat the fish you made later."

"Then I'll put it in the kitchen for you to warm, I won't say anything, you go and rest for a while."

Ning Yuan smiled and patted her head, turned around the Moon Arch.

After Ning Xiang couldn't see him, the smile on his face gradually fell.

As soon as he returned to Xijing, he heard the news that Lin Mumu and Zhao Xuanling were going to get married, and for some reason he was so depressed in his heart, he always knew that Lin Mumu would belong to a certain man sooner or later, but when this day was coming, he would still feel uncomfortable.

Ning Yuan raised his eyes to look at the red glow in the sky, and the corners of his lips brought a bleak arc, just that, he should be satisfied if he could guard her like he was now......

"Ning Yuan, you're back."

When Ning Yuan came back to his senses, he looked at Shang Qiaoqiao with smiling eyes.

He nodded. "Just got back."

"You can be regarded as coming back, you don't know that Ning Xiang has been talking about you all day long when you are not in the house, and I hope you will come back soon."

Ning Yuan responded lightly. "I've seen you just now."

"Ning Xiang said that you like to eat braised fish, and I knew that I made it for you when you came back, so you have to taste it later."

"Hmm."

Qiaoqiao looked at him with a hint of shame on his face. "I came up with a new pastry yesterday, and the eldest lady tasted it and thought it tasted good, so I'll send you some later?"

Ning Yuan shook his head and said, "No need, keep a few of you to eat, I'll go first." After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Qiaoqiao looked at the back of him leaving, and pursed her lips in some frustration.
