Chapter 228: Meet Your Parents-in-Law!
At this time, Baili Moxu completely forgot about it, and now Murong Huan is "Miss Qiu", and she has nothing to do with him at all. If it is said that the people of this world are afraid of King Leng and dare not beat his princess, but for a girl Qiu who has no background, who will have any fear?
Xiao Wu then remembered that the master saw the secret letters of yesterday and the day before yesterday, although the people who secretly guarded the princess would report the truth every day, but because of the transmission of information and the deliberate concealment of the source in order to confuse people on the way, the news would be delayed for a day. Presumably, when the news came from the people over there, they didn't know the identity of that person.
"The prince doesn't need to be in a hurry, presumably there will be the latest news later. As soon as Xiao Wu's words fell, someone had already knocked on the door, and he walked over to take a look, and sure enough, the secret letter had arrived. Xiao Wu immediately took the letter, walked quickly to the bed, and handed it to Baili Moxu.
Baili Moxu opened the secret letter and looked at it, and immediately changed his face, the owner of the free door, his fiancΓ©e, very good!
Xiao Wu naturally looked at Baili Moxu's demeanor in his eyes, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, seeing that the master was so angry, who was the man who "abducted" the princess? What is the purpose? This guy has simply eaten the gall of a leopard, and he dares to touch the reverse scales of the master!
Baili Moxu endured his anger and read the secret letter again, and as soon as his hand moved, a flame appeared in the palm of his hand, and the secret letter instantly turned into ashes.
"Send the order down, and quickly find out the situation of the owner of the Xiaoyao Gate and the Xiaoyao Gate. This king wants to know the origin of this new master, and more importantly, what he has done since he took office. Baili Moxu looked at Xiao Wu, and his voice was cold.
"Xiaoyao Gate Master?" Xiao Wu was stunned, he knew this person, and the master's box of muscle-building and bone cream was bought by him. Although he only saw a small person in Xiaoyaomen at that time, he also heard that the new master of the door was not only powerful in medicine, but also very high in cultivation, and it was said that he was also very good-looking.
Very good-looking? Xiao Wu suddenly realized something, could it be that the princess has taken a fancy to this master? Isn't it? What should the master do? Then Xiao Wu thought again, no, the master is the first beautiful man in Cangxi, no matter how good-looking the master is, it is impossible to be better than the master, right? Could it be that the princess was really heartbroken by the master and completely put the master down, so she became obsessed with the master?
"Yes, you heard it right, it's the master of the Loose Gate. Baili Moxu didn't notice Xiao Wu's distraction, he squinted at his narrow phoenix eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, "When did this Xiaoyaomen become so powerful? This king wants to know if there is any support from the forces behind the reappearance of the Xiaoyao Gate, what does this door master want to do when he and her spirit fox go to the ancient jungle to catch so many spirit beasts?
"Yes, Lord Wang, my subordinates will give the order!" Xiao Wu also felt that things were a little strange when he heard this, it turned out that this master was not so simple as hooking up with the princess, he actually asked the princess's spirit fox to help him catch the spirit beast, he was using the princess, it was really hateful!
"Go, this king is also tired, remember to prepare the gifts early tomorrow morning. Baili Moxu fell down after speaking, he was really tired, so many things were entangled, every one and every one should not be underestimated, but they couldn't be messed up or rushed. It was very important to take a break and stay calm and sober, because if one wrong step was taken, he and Murong Huan might really miss it.
Xiao Wu quietly retreated and closed the door.
The next day, Baili Moxu woke up, summoned the generals, and told them that he was going to the Yelan capital, and then set off with Xiao Wu.
"Baili Moxu has come to my capital?" In the Yelan Palace, Murong Bai, who had just returned to the imperial study, had just returned to the imperial study, and he was kept secret. Also, the golden retriever beast of Baili Moxu is unique in the entire Cangxi Continent, and such a flying beast flying over the capital city naturally can't escape the eyes of the spies.
However, what was his intention in coming so blatantly as a flying beast? Hasn't he been quelling the chaos at the Xilin Border Pass? Looking at this, the rebels should have been almost cleaned up by him. Murong Bai didn't have time to think about it, a eunuch came to report, and Murong Nian asked to see him.
"Xuan!" As soon as Murong Bai's voice fell, Murong Nian, who was waiting outside the imperial study, strode in.
"Nian'er sees his father. As soon as Murong Nian came in, he bowed.
"Nian'er, hurry up, let me take a good look!" Murong Bai walked over and picked up Murong Nian, "I received the news that you entered the palace last night, and I and your queen mother were very happy. Didn't you let you rest for a few more days before entering the palace, why did you come in a hurry?"
"Father, Nian'er misses you and the queen mother, if it wasn't too late when she came back last night, Nian'er would have been in a hurry to enter the palace at that time. Murong Nian pulled Murong Bai and asked him to sit down, "I haven't seen you for more than a month, how is my father's health?"
"I am in good health, but I have been in retreat for nearly two months, and I have lost a lot. Murong Bai looked at the face in front of him, which was seven or eight points similar to himself, and patted Murong Nian's shoulder distressedly, "I'm going to ask someone to inform your mother and make you something delicious at noon today." β
"Okay!" Murong Nian nodded with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've eaten the dishes made by the queen mother, and Nian'er is also hungry." β
"You, like your sister, are gluttonous cats. Murong Bai's words were full of spoiling, with pampering in his eyes, he was indeed extremely spoiled for this son.
After retiring everyone, Murong Bai lowered his voice, "How many levels of Nian'er's cultivation is there now?"
"Father, it's not a secret, Nian'er's cultivation has broken through the fourteenth level. "Murong Nian didn't intend to hide this matter from the beginning, only by letting his father and mother know that they were strong enough to protect Hao Huan'er, they could only agree to their request.
"Really?!" Murong Bai's face was surprised, and then relieved, "Great! I am so happy! The light that flashed in the sky last night was a harbinger of Nian'er's promotion, right? Your queen mother had this idea at the time, but before I met you, I and your queen mother didn't dare to assert it." β
Murong Bai said and looked at Murong Nian carefully, "Sure enough, it's the same as the rumors, Nian'er has broken through the fourteenth level, and this appearance is becoming more and more handsome and delicate, and more and more talented." A few days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent a lot of albums and lists, and I want to choose a princess for you!"
"Father, this matter is not in a hurry!" Murong Nian panicked when he heard this, and was about to say something, when a eunuch suddenly reported outside, "Your Majesty, King Xu of Xilin is asking to see you outside the palace!"
"What?Baili Moxu came here?" Murong Nian was taken aback, how could this guy come?
"Xuan!" Murong Bai also frowned, it seems that Baili Moxu did not come on behalf of Xilin, otherwise he should have appeared in the court, instead of deliberately choosing the time for his next court to ask for a meeting.
"Father, what is he here for?"
"Nian'er doesn't know, after the New Year's Festival, as soon as you retreated, Baili Moxu led people to the border pass to fight with the rebels entangled by the fugitive nobles of the Wuxia royal family, and I heard that the war in the Xilin border pass has only been calmed down in recent days. I have just received a secret report that he has appeared over the capital on a golden retriever with only one retinue. As for his intentions, I don't know. However, this Baili Moxu is your brother-in-law, and he helped us Yelan defeat the combined forces of Wuxia and Xueman and regain the lost territory. β
"He only brought one entourage with him, and asked to see him privately? Could it be that something happened to Huan'er?" Murong Nian's first reaction was whether Murong Huan was okay.
"Nian'er, don't think about it, your sister will be fine. Murong Bai was stunned for a moment, and then denied this statement. How could something happen to his beloved daughter?
"Someone, send an order to Fengming Palace, a distinguished guest has arrived today, please prepare lunch for the queen's mother. Murong Bai called his personal little eunuch and whispered a few words in his ear, and the little eunuch took the order and left.
"Father wants to take him to see his mother?" Murong Nian frowned, obviously with a bit of reluctance in his words.
"I guess Baili Moxu will definitely ask to see your queen mother when she comes this time, so inform your mother first, so as not to make her unprepared. Murong Bai motioned for a eunuch to change out of court clothes for him and put on a regular robe. "Besides, since your sister left, your mother has been worried day and night, so that she can see Baili Moxu and listen to him tell him about your sister's condition. β
"Father, you know that Baili Moxu is not good to his sister, there are so many women in his house, and he spoiled that cold rain to the sky. Murong Nian's face turned gloomy, "Let him see the queen mother, talking about this, wouldn't the queen mother be sad?"
"Nian'er, some things are not as simple as you think. Murong Bai sighed and patted Murong Nian's hand, "I also have many women, when I was the prince, the world said that I loved my princess very much, but I have always had only your mother in my heart. Your queen mother must have told you that even if you are a king, you can't do as you please. Many times, we have to sacrifice our feelings and have to be ashamed of our lovers. β
"Father, Nian'er doesn't mean anything else, your feelings for the queen mother are naturally understood. But that Baili Moxu, he has no feelings for Huan'er at all!" Murong Nian was about to continue, when a messenger from the eunuch sounded outside, "Prince Xilinxu has arrived!"
The father and son immediately stopped discussing and got up and walked to the door of the imperial study. I saw Baili Moxu, who was dressed in a dark robe, and Xiao Wu, who was dressed in a gray cloth shirt, followed behind the eunuch and floated over.
"Baili Moxu saw Emperor Murong and saw Lord Nian. Baili Moxu stepped forward to salute.
"Shouldn't you also call me my father?" Murong Bai looked at Baili Moxu, who had a kingly bearing, and couldn't say how fond of it.
"Father!" Baili Moxu called out generously, and a glimmer of light flashed in his phoenix eyes, "The little son-in-law has long wanted to come to meet his father and mother......
"We've been looking forward to seeing you...... a gentle voice from far and near
