Chapter 5 Swordsmanship

Tonight is the night of candles in the cave room, Mu Zhixi plans to give herself to Xiao Yiyan with confidence, but Xiao Yiyan doesn't believe it.

He threw her onto the bed and grabbed her by both wrists and lifted her above his head.

Immediately, the other hand pinched her chin and questioned in a deep voice.

"Mu Zhixi, do you think that I will let my guard down when I am close to you, so you want to take this opportunity to ask for my life. If I'm not mistaken, you have a dagger under your pillow......"

As he said this, his other hand reached directly under the pillow, and sure enough, he found a short dagger.

In his eyes, he was clear, but he was also disappointed.

"It's really hard for you to deal with this king so hard. ”

Mu Zhixi also looked at the dagger in surprise.

Careless, how did she forget that there was this thing under her pillow!

In her previous life, she guarded herself like a jade for Xiao Chengze, so she always guarded against Xiao Yiyan.

Thinking of her attitude towards Xiao Yiyan and what she did in the past, it is no wonder that Xiao Yiyan doesn't believe her now.

Woowoo...... It's really hard for her to explain the situation now.

“...... Lord, this is a misunderstanding, I really want to ...... with you"

"Do you have a husband and wife ceremony with me? Mu Zhixi, do you have a truth in your mouth, the play should end here, do you think this king is very easy to deceive!"

Xiao Yiyan's eyes were obviously suppressed with anger, but because the person in front of him was Mu Zhixi, the woman he really loved, so even if he was angry with her, he couldn't really do anything.

Especially when he saw the bruise on her forehead, his heart softened.

Mu Zhixi was still thinking about what to do to dispel Xiao Yiyan's suspicion of her, and then he was picked up from the bed very abruptly.

"Wiped the medicine. Xiao Yiyan directly took out the box of ointment from his pocket and gave her commanding instructions,

Seeing that she didn't react, Xiao Yiyan didn't say a word, and directly picked up a little ointment with her fingers and smeared it on her forehead.

A cool sensation hit, and the place where I was injured before didn't seem to be so painful.

After wiping the medicine for her, Xiao Yiyan was not ready to stay here.

"Xiao Yiyan, you wait......"

She rushed up and tugged at the corner of his coat.

Xiao Yiyan turned around, stared at her with a sharp gaze, and asked in a deep voice.

"Mu Zhixi, what do you mean by trying so hard to seduce this king. ”

A "seduction" made Mu Zhixi slightly stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, she was too excited after she was reborn, because she wanted to make up for the regrets of her previous life, so she was too anxious to get close to Xiao Yiyan.

In fact, they still have a lot of misunderstandings that have not been solved at this time, and in Xiao Yiyan's current cognition, the person she admires is Xiao Chengze.

He had been rejected for all kinds of overtures to her before, and he had long been disappointed in her.

So her enthusiasm and sincerity now seem to him to have other intentions.

It's her carelessness, she should take it step by step, otherwise it will backfire.

In the new house, the dragon and phoenix candles are still burning, and in the faint candlelight, shadows collide.

The night was dark, and at this time in the Qi Palace, Xiao Chengze had not yet gone to bed.

At this time, he was discussing with his staff how to fight for the crown prince's position.

Originally, he wanted to ask to marry Mu Zhixi, and directly get the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion behind her.

But I didn't expect to be taken first by Xiao Yiyan.

As soon as he thought that Mu Zhixi's "fat meat" fell into Xiao Yiyan's mouth, he was annoyed.

"It's just disgusting!" he was so angry that he swept the tea cup on the table to the ground, his clenched fists, the green tendons that popped out of his forehead, and the tight jaw all showed his anger at this time.

Shen An, a staff member, was very respectful and kind of persuasion.

"Your Highness, don't be angry, in fact, Mu Zhixi's marriage to the War King now will do more harm than harm to us. ”

Xiao Chengze's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he looked up at Shen An, "Why do you say this?"

"I think that although there are two major forces behind Mu Zhixi, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, but at present, the position of the prince is still unestablished, and the major forces in the DPRK and China are testing each other and vacillating, and they are basically neutral.

"Moreover, the most important point is that even if Mu Zhixi marries the King of War, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion may not immediately join the camp of the King of War, and everyone is tacit about the fact that the King of War is not on the throne. ”

Shen An was the most capable staff member in the Qi Palace, if it weren't for his status as a criminal minister, Xiao Chengze would have wanted to get him into the court and serve him.

After he explained briefly, Xiao Chengze understood what he meant.

The original irritability was also appropriately alleviated.

"It's also said that the biological mother of the King of War is Hu Ji, whether it is his father or those old ministers, he will definitely not let him be the emperor of this Northern Yan. Now even if Mu Zhixi is a treasure, it can't play its role in Xiao Yiyan's hands. Shen An, you go on. ”

Shen An gave Xiao Chengze a slight salute and continued to add.

"Although getting Mu Zhixi is equivalent to getting the two major forces behind her, this is only the surface. All the princes know about the interests involved, but none of them dare to blatantly ask to marry Mu Zhixi, does Your Highness know why?"

Xiao Chengze pondered, "Naturally, I don't want to arouse my father's suspicion. ”

The reason why he knew was because he was also thinking about this, so he didn't dare to ask the emperor directly to marry Mu Zhixi.

Now that the princes are fighting openly and secretly for the position of the crown prince, if he marries Mu Zhixi, his thoughts will be revealed, which is contrary to his original intention of low-key hibernation.

Xiao Yiyan's biological mother is a foreigner, and his biological mother's identity is not noble.

Since he was a child, he was not treated by his father and the emperor, and his mother had no power to support him, so if he participated in the competition for the crown prince in a bright and bright manner, he would soon be targeted by his brothers.

Those people are all as ruthless as wolves, and it is easy to stumble on him.

So at present, when he marries Mu Zhixi, not only can he not succeed in getting the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, but it will attract the suspicion of his father and brothers, and when the time comes, he will die an ugly death.

Shen An thought so.

"The princes don't want to be suspicious of the emperor, after all, the emperor is alive, of course they don't want to see anyone openly have the heart of forming a party, even if it is their own son, so before His Royal Highness is full-fledged, he must not marry Mu Zhixi.

"Mu Zhixi is stupid, His Royal Highness has now got her heart, then she will be yours sooner or later, the king of war holds the talisman in his hand, and he is deeply valued by the emperor, and now we can use her to contain the king of war, and we can win it with one stone. ”

Shen An's words made Xiao Chengze's mood completely change from cloudy to sunny. However, he thought that when he saw Mu Zhixi in the palace a few hours ago, her attitude towards herself seemed to have changed a lot.

I don't know if he thinks too much, and always feels that the way she looks at him is missing that love.

As everyone knows, after being reborn, Mu Zhixi's love was all on her husband.

Lu Yuan saw the prince come out of the new house so quickly, and asked tentatively with a surprised expression.

"Master, you're done?"

So fast, or did you not do anything at all?

Xiao Yiyan patiently accompanied Mu Zhixi for so long, and now she was very tired, so she directly ordered Lu Yuan: "Go and prepare a pot of wine again." ”

Qiushuang suddenly remembered that the wine that was originally prepared in the house seemed to have been knocked over by the young lady.

And the reason why the young lady would do that was purely because she didn't want to drink with the prince.

Now they have to prepare again, how can her young lady suddenly change as if she has changed......

Xiao Yiyan stood outside and waited, and after a while, Lu Yuan came back.

His expression was a little solemn, and he walked to Xiao Yiyan's side and whispered.

"Master, just now, my subordinates found King Qi's flying pigeon biography outside the courtyard. ”

"Bring it. Xiao Yiyan opened the note and saw that it was indeed Xiao Chengze's note.

A sharp killing intent flashed under his eyes, and it was obscure.

Obviously, this was to be passed on to Mu Zhixi, but unfortunately it was intercepted by his people.

Deliver a message on the night of his and Mu Zhixi's wedding.

Good Xiao Chengze, he wants to see what is written on it.
