Chapter 142: A Visitor from a Foreign Land
It is he who paints, and the painting is lifelike.
But a good painting is painted with messy things, and it becomes difficult to see.
Xiao Yiyan strode to the desk, and Mu Zhixi didn't raise her head at all.
"Are you venting your anger on this king? His tone was stern and reproachful.
Mu Zhixi raised her head, her eyes cold.
"Practice your hands, it's just a mistake. Why is the prince still angry?"
"Take the portrait of the king to practice?"
Xiao Yiyan's gaze was pressing, and there seemed to be a spark in his eyes.
He also heard the boundless rumors in the house.
was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he temporarily put down the official document, came to see her, and explained it to her.
He is sincere, can't he get half of her trust?
The two of them each held their breath, making the already oppressive atmosphere even more dead.
Xiao Yiyan glanced at Qiu Shuang coldly, "Stand down." ”
Qiushuang glanced at the princess uneasily, "Yes." ”
There were no outsiders in the house, so Xiao Yiyan went straight to the point.
"This king and Chu Yanran have nothing to do, don't think about it. ”
Mu Zhixi only felt that his attitude was arrogant, and she was even more angry.
She slapped the ink-dipped brush on the desk and clasped her hands together.
"I believe that it is useful for you to be innocent with her, now that rumors are spreading, how are you going to stop the mouths of Youyou!"
Xiao Yiyan's face was frank, "What this king has never done, why should he be afraid of people's words." ”
"A woman's honor is more important than her life. You are in the same room with Chu Yanran, and now that your reputation has been damaged, she has a reason to put you responsible. ”
Seeing that Mu Zhixi's emotions were a little excited, Xiao Yiyan stepped forward and held her hand.
He looked at her deeply. He asked very calmly: "This king only cares, do you believe this king?" ”
Mu Zhixi shook off his hand.
"I believe it. But the words are terrible......"
"Xi'er, this king is never afraid of people's words. If you were afraid, you wouldn't have insisted on marrying you as a concubine in the first place. ”
"That's different!"
Mu Zhixi hated that iron could not become steel, and pulled the topic back.
"Chu Yanran is now nameless and has no share, and she lives in the War King's Mansion, which is not reasonable.
"If this matter gets out today, if you don't accept her, others will think that the dignified war king is a thin lover who turns his face and doesn't recognize people.
"But if you take her, I will be unhappy. ”
Xiao Yiyan held her hand tightly, her expression serious and serious.
"The people in the house, this king will keep his mouth shut. As for Chu Yanran, this king has already asked people to send her away. So, are you satisfied? ”
He kept Chu Yanran purely to find out the master behind her.
But if it displeases Xi'er, it will outweigh the loss.
For today's plan, the only way to do this is to place Chu Yanran outside first.
However, Mu Zhixi had already guessed his purpose.
"Does the prince want to keep her outside?
"Isn't it enough that you saved her life?
"Whether it's in the house or outside the house, you raise her, the essence is the same.
"I'll just ask you if you insist on keeping her around. ”
Xiao Yiyan was a little embarrassed, there were some things he couldn't say to her.
"Xi'er, this king has a last resort reason for doing this. ”
Mu Zhixi persistently asked: "The reason, you can't tell me, can you?"
Xiao Yiyan pressed his chin.
After being silent for a long time, Mu Zhixi pushed him away, and her eyes could not hide her loneliness.
"Okay. Do whatever you want, keep her outside, or raise her as a concubine. I believe that her husband has no affection for her, but I am still a little angry.
"You go out first, and leave me alone. ”
Her generosity and trust were beyond Xiao Yiyan's expectations.
He thought she was going to mess with him.
At this time, the undisguised and sensible woman in front of him made him feel guilty.
"This king is with you. ”
Mu Zhixi decisively refused.
"Don't. Seeing the prince, my mood has never been good. ”
"That's just right, you can take out your anger on this king. lest you suffocate. ”
Xiao Yiyan's voice was very gentle, as if she was coaxing a child.
"Holding a portrait to vent, where is it better than being angry with this king?"
The corners of Mu Zhixi's mouth twitched, "I don't dare to be angry with the prince." ”
Xiao Yiyan grabbed her hand and put it on the placket of his clothes: "Don't be angry, this king is done, take you to Wangjiang Tower." ”
Mu Zhixi's eyes lit up.
"Wangjiang Tower is hard to find, isn't my husband making me happy. ”
In Beiyan, everyone knows the three words of Wangjianglou.
It's not just a restaurant, it's a mix of fun, and it's the most lively at night.
The boss behind the scenes never appeared, adding to the mystery of the rumors.
Xiao Yiyan asked people to buy a house on the outskirts of the city, which has now become Chu Yanran's residence.
As night fell, a black shadow flashed quickly and landed in Chu Yanran's room.
"Who!" Chu Yanran was extremely vigilant, and in the dark, she immediately took out a dagger from under the pillow.
The dark shadow stood beside the bed and spoke slowly.
"It's me. ”
Hearing the voice of the person, Chu Yanran's tense body relaxed.
She stood up, incredulous.
"Why did you come here? Could it be that the master has an order?"
"The master is not worried that you are acting alone, so he sent me to answer him. ”
The man took out a medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Chu Yanran.
"This poison is colorless and tasteless, you must find an opportunity to give Xiao Yiyan a chance. ”
Chu Yanran clenched the medicine bottle and sighed.
"We still underestimated him. I can't get any way to him right now.
"He only has his princess in his heart......"
"As long as he has a weakness, this thing will be easy to do. Either get rid of Mu Zhixi, or, borrow Mu Zhixi's hand and kill Xiao Yiyan once and for all. ”
Chu Yanran shook her head.
"It doesn't work. Mu Zhixi has a lot of secret guards around her, and she can't be moved for the time being.
"As for borrowing a knife to kill someone, maybe I can try. ”
At night, the Wangjiang Tower is full of seats, and it is overcrowded.
The women who performed tonight were all beautiful and had good figures.
Piano music, hot dance, food, casino...... The whole nine yards.
The Wangjiang Tower at night is the golden nest of dignitaries.
Mu Zhixi came to Wangjianglou for the first time, and followed Xiao Yiyan closely, for fear of losing it.
The prosperity in the Wangjiang Tower is comparable to the palace.
The staircase made of gold, the railing decorated with precious stones, the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists hung on the wall, the jade plate delicacies, wine and delicacies, make people linger.
Even the fabrics and jewelry worn by the women who performed were priceless.
The big boss behind this scene must be a rich country!
Xiao Yiyan took Mu Zhixi's hand and sat in the position.
He was familiar with the place, not like he was there for the first time.
Mu Zhixi asked curiously, "Husband, it costs a lot of money to come here to eat, right?"
Xiao Yiyan raised her eyelids slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
"For the sake of the lady's happiness, it is worth spending more money.
"Look at what you want to eat. ”
Not worrying about the money at all, he handed her the menu and introduced the recommendations as a regular customer.
For the trip to Wangjiang Tower. Mu Zhixi didn't eat much during the day.
Just listening to Xiao Yiyan, she couldn't get hungry.
Bang!
"What are you pretending to be! The master has taken a fancy to you, don't toast or eat and drink!"
"Ahem......" The sharp sound suddenly came from next door, which scared Mu Zhixi and choked.
Xiao Yiyan's eyes were cold, and his murderous aura suddenly appeared, and he looked at the man who was making trouble.
