Mu Zhixi raised her head and asked seriously.

"Husband, how long are you going to go to suppress bandits this time?"

"It's going to take at least three or four months. ”

Thinking that Xiao Yiyan would stay with Ling Ziyan for three or four months, she muttered in her heart.

The emperor is really.

Suppressing bandits, except for Xiao Yiyan, is there no one else?

Ling Ziyan is so powerful, she didn't have Xiao Yiyan with her in her previous life, didn't she return triumphantly.

"Husband, I want to go too!" she said firmly, her eyes full of determination.

Qiushuang stood aside, admiring the princess's decisiveness.

Three or four months.

If the princess doesn't follow, who knows what will happen,

Xiao Yiyan frowned, just thinking that she was joking.

"Don't mess around, bandits aren't for fun. ”

"I'm not messing around! The husband sings and the wife follows, so I should go to the mountains and rivers. ”

"Bandits are dangerous, not child's play. ”

"It is precisely because of the danger that I have to accompany my husband to go. In case my husband is injured, I can help with the wound. ”

Those thieves are not dangerous.

The real danger is Ling Ziyan's woman.

Seeing that the prince disagreed, Qiushuang dared to speak.

"Lord, the slave will definitely protect the princess well. ”

"The princess is messing around, are you messing around? Stand down!" Xiao Yiyan's eyes were slightly cold, and Qiu Shuang's whole body trembled with fright.

Mu Zhixi grabbed the corner of his clothes and said softly.

"Don't be angry, husband, I will listen to you and stop adding to the chaos. ”

She saw through it, no matter how much she begged, Xiao Yiyan would not agree to take her to suppress the bandits.

In that case, she had to find another way.

Seeing her so aggrieved, Xiao Yiyan couldn't bear it.

He took her hand and soothed.

"The matter of suppressing bandits, after the birthday banquet before leaving, before that, this king will take a few days off and accompany you in the mansion. ”

"Husband, you have to talk about it. Mu Zhixi smiled very happily, as if she had nothing to worry about.

In fact, hearing Xiao Yiyan mention it, she couldn't help but sigh that time flies so fast, and it is almost the emperor's birthday banquet in a blink of an eye.

This year's birthday banquet is different from the past, and the visit of the envoys from the south is destined not to be peaceful.

The south is bound to win Donghuang Mountain, and it will do whatever it takes.

On the other side, after Ling Ziyan left the Battle King's Mansion, she was preoccupied.

After getting into the carriage, Hong'er said in a worried tone.

"County lord, the slave maid inquired, His Royal Highness the War King is very attentive to that War Princess, it doesn't look like a show. ”

Ling Ziyan's expression was condensed, and she spoke expressionlessly.

"I'm not blind enough to see. ”

His Royal Highness has never been close to women, but she saw with her own eyes today that he hugged the woman.

Also, the tenderness in his eyes is obviously not pretended.

On the one hand, she persuaded herself that His Royal Highness would marry Mu Zhixi in order to consolidate his power.

On the other hand, she had to worry that His Highness would have a long-lasting affection for that woman.

"Hong'er. ”

"County Lord, do you have any orders?"

"I want to know everything about that woman, to have someone find out. ”

"Yes, County Lord!"

Ever since he learned that Ling Ziyan had returned to the Imperial City, Xiao Jingyi was eager to tell everyone the news.

In the past few days, he has been diligently working to wash the dust for Ling Ziyan.

After Xiao Qingya learned about this, she immediately went to the Zhanwang Mansion and secretly told Mu Zhixi.

"Fifth Emperor Sister-in-law, if I were you, I wouldn't be able to sit still for a long time. ”

Mu Zhixi listened and didn't care.

"Isn't it just a reception feast, I have nothing to care about. ”

"Aren't you afraid that the old relationship between the Fifth Emperor Brother and Ling Ziyan will rekindle?"

Mu Zhixi's eyes moved slightly, raised her eyelids lightly, and looked at Xiao Qingya on the other side of the table.

"Are the two of them better?"

Xiao Qingya nodded very affirmatively.

"Of course, I can't lie to you.

"The Fifth Emperor Brother only needed to stay in the West for half a year, but it took three years to come back.

"And I've heard that if it weren't for the urgency of the border war, the Five Emperor Brothers would have stayed there longer.

Later, after the war ended, the Five Emperor Brothers went several times one after another.

"He likes to go to the West so much, he must be on good terms with some woman.

"You don't have to think about it to know that that woman must be Ling Ziyan.

"To be honest, I used to think that the two of them were a good match.

"It's not just me, everyone else thinks so......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qingya was afraid that Mu Zhixi would be unhappy when she heard it, so the conversation changed.

"That was before, now that you have the Fifth Imperial Sister-in-law, and the other women have to step aside, including that Ling Ziyan. ”

Mu Zhixi smiled, "I love to hear this." ”

At the same time, there was a gleam in her eyes.

What Xiao Qingya said just now made her somewhat suspicious.

Xiao Yiyan often goes to the Western Realm, is it really to see Ling Ziyan?

If they have an old relationship, why did they separate?

"Fifth Emperor Sister-in-law, having said that, at tonight's reception banquet, you must stop the Fifth Emperor Brother, don't let him see Ling Ziyan. ”

Mu Zhixi smiled faintly and asked rhetorically: "Didn't the princess look forward to your fifth emperor brother looking for another beautiful woman before?" ”

The corners of Xiao Qingya's mouth twitched, and she replied very seriously.

"Before was before, now is now. Princess Ben now believes that you are sincere to the Five Emperor Brothers. ”

"Perhaps, the county lord of Yinshan is also sincere to the prince. ”

Xiao Qingya immediately retorted.

"That's different, you saved my life, of course it's on your side. ”

During the blessing of the Taimiao, she was poisoned and tortured.

Thanks to the Fifth Emperor's sister-in-law's skillful hand to rejuvenate and help her force out the Gu worm twice, she was able to stay safe and sound.

Kindness must be repaid, which is her Xiao Qingya's code of conduct.

Suddenly, Xiao Qingya remembered something and immediately reminded.

"Fifth Emperor Sister-in-law, three days later will be my father's birthday banquet, your stomach is ......"

As she spoke, she glanced at Mu Zhixi's flat lower abdomen.

"What's wrong with my stomach?" Mu Zhixi didn't react immediately.

Xiao Qingya sighed lightly and said earnestly.

"Fifth Imperial Sister-in-law, I also just learned from my father that you are already pregnant with a child.

"You are pregnant now, and you have to be careful in everything.

"I know that you didn't make this news widely known because you were afraid that your child would be poisoned before it was born.

"But there is a lot of danger in the palace, and you should be more careful. ”

Mu Zhixi didn't know how to react.

If Xiao Qingya hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten.

The truth is, she wasn't pregnant at all.

On the day of the birthday feast, you must not show your stuffing.

Xiao Qingya, as a princess, can't stay outside the palace for too long.

Mu Zhixi personally sent her to the gate of the mansion and watched her get into the carriage.

"Princess, the carriage has gone far, and it is windy outside, let's go in. ”

Mu Zhixi looked into the distance and said lightly, "Wait a little longer, at this hour, the prince will be back soon." ”

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Qiushuang proposed softly.

"Princess, tonight, the Seven Princes will hold a banquet to catch the wind for the county lord of Yinshan, the prince and the county lord are on good terms, and they will definitely go.

"If you can't stop it, you can pretend to be sick ......"

Mu Zhixi knew what Qiu Shuang meant, but she would never pretend to be sick for such a thing.

"If he wants to go, I won't stop him. ”

Seeing that the princess was so careless, Qiushuang was anxious.

"Princess, have you forgotten what Princess Qingya said just now?

"If it were another woman, you would just turn a blind eye. ”

"But that's the lord of Yinshan, and the relationship between her and the prince is not ordinary, in the evening, drink some wine, dry firewood, and just a little bit. ”

Mu Zhixi's pupils were silent and silent.

She believes in Xiao Yiyan, and he will never live up to her trust.

According to his temperament, if he had affection for Ling Ziyan, he would not hide it at all.

So, even if he went to the banquet tonight, she didn't worry at all.

In contrast, she was more concerned about the fact that he had often gone to the Westside in those years, but lied in front of her that he had never been.

She wanted to know who and what he was for.

"Qiushuang, come here with your ears, I have something to command. ”

She was just about to finish talking to Qiushuang, when she raised her eyes, she suddenly saw two familiar figures.

"Princess, isn't that Xiangye and Aunt Su!" Qiushuang exclaimed in surprise.

Mu Zhixi's eyes were slightly cold.

Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Hall.

Those two people looked like they were looking for trouble.
