Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Back to the War King's Palace
The retired emperor coughed lightly upon hearing the question of his beloved grandson. He's starting to improve now. Can walk, eat well and meet his wife—ibu suri. But he could not forget the good food made by Li Chang Su.
So every time the retired emperor told the queen mother about Li Chang Su's good food, it would definitely be scolded and nagged the entire time. Inevitably, the retired emperor could only eat something served by the palace kitchen. Not to mention, when the queen mother told her about being poisoned by the other party, the retired emperor was furious.
But that anger turns to be vigilant and must know who is behind the scenes. Li Chang Su and Mu Xianzhai were suspicious of the empress from the very beginning, the mother of the crown prince as well as Princess Mu Ying. Although the retired emperor wanted to give some advice to the emperor, he was sure that his son knew a lot.
"You guys are finally home. Why so long?" Retired emperors felt impatient but that did not mean missing them. He has his reasons.
"Isn't it seven days?" mu Xianzhai asked instead.
"Indeed. Why did it have to be the seventh day?"
"Important it's seven days. Your granddaughter took care of the military barracks first before coming home."
"..." - ".I believe the retired emperor sat there while rubbing the tip of his nose.
"Where is your wife?" This time the retired emperor asked when he realized that Li Chang Su did not exist.
"In my palace of course. Su'er is tired on the way, she has to rest a lot." Mu Xianzhai would not let his grandfather meet Li Chang Su that quickly. He still remembered about Li Chang Su being able to ask his grandfather anything.
"You're just an excuse. You must have deliberately hidden your wife from me, right?" the retired emperor's lips were angry, but not a real anger.
Finally Mu Xianzhai sneered as well. "Because Grandpa knows, then don't ask again."
"..." - ".You are a bad grandson! The retired emperor sat down again with a frustrated expression.
He just wanted to ask the girl for food, not anything else. But this clever grandson really protects his wife like taking care of a calf (overprotective).
Finally Emperor Mu cleared his throat. This one son indeed preferred to oppose the retired emperor rather than his other children. But right now, there are more important things to discuss. So Emperor Mu immediately invited them to the other side to talk about many things.
Not to forget as well, Mu Hongzhi introduced her to Lict as a person who came from the same birthplace as Li Chang Su.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
On the other side ...
The War King's Palace.
When Li Chang Su came home, his two servants Xuxu and Xuyao were already waiting in the courtyard. Both of them were immediately enthusiastic when they saw their master return. Li Chang Su himself almost forgot his two servants given by Mu Xianzhai. Now that he knew more, the two little servants turned out to look very strong.
"Daughter, you're finally back," Xuxu said slightly shrieking.
"Yes, I'm back." Li Chang Su let out a long sigh and touched the shoulder of his quite jolly servant.
Unlike Xuyao who was always serious the entire time, could only bow politely. "Welcome back, Princess."
"You take good care of everything. What about the queen mother?" li Chang Su asked.
"The Princess need not worry. With us for the past month, the queen mother looks better. I heard that the empress shut herself down lately. Perhaps worry if the queen mother or retired emperor acts." Xuyao reported everything.
Then the three chose to talk inside so that no irresponsible party heard their conversation. Xuxu went to the kitchen to fetch tea for Li Chang Su. Then Xuyao told me the details again.
"That sect no longer exists. None of the students survived." Li Chang Su immediately took a sip of the cup of tea that Xuxu provided.
"Then what about the sovereign? I heard the Black Sect is very strong?" Xuyao frowned.
"Actually it's not strong, it's just that the aura is indeed darker so it causes a deep fear," he replied as he lowered his eyelids, staring at the rest of the tea water in the cup.
Xuxu and Xuyao glanced at each other and shook their heads. The princess seemed to be more different the first time they met. Now the girl is more calm and relaxed, cheerful and even able to accept her surroundings well.
Both were curious about what happened during the trip. Could the king have conquered the girl's heart.
Then Li Chang Su suddenly remembered the identity of his two servants. "Mu Xianzhai said if you are from the valley of poison?"
Xuxu and Xuyao were instantly shocked. The two looked at Li Chang Su with awkward and stiff expressions. Sooner or later, this will be known to him.
"Yes," Xuxu replied immediately nodding weakly. "King Xian saved us earlier. The poison valley had been destroyed by the Black Sect as well as the attack of the dark mutated beast. Therefore, when we knew if the Black Sect and the dark mutated beast were defeated, We were happy. That way ...all our brothers who died will be calm there."
Xuxu's words filled with sadness also made Xuyao calm him down. The maid began to have a red nose, her eyes watering until her tears drenched her cheeks. It's been a while. The two of them were not servants here, but former members of the poison valley.
They make them toxic and produce many drugs as well. But since the poison valley was quite sensitive, not many parties were able to accept the poison valley. Especially they create a poison where poison masters become taboo in society.
Li Chang Su felt that the two might be orphans. Most in ancient times when people chose to go to an organization or a certain group, definitely did not have a family. They are raised by their owners to adulthood, serving to the end.
No wonder Li Chang Su always felt that the two were not servants. It turns out to be true. Not to mention Xuyao always held a sword. On the blade of his sword was also a colorless and smelly poison. It's a poison that's hard to make.
"Then why are you servants?" li Chang Su asked.
"This is not really our wish, it's just .. King Xian was our savior so indirectly, we became his slaves." Xuyao was quite pouting while saying this.
"He forced you?"
"Yes, more or less like that. But we have an agreement with him, so .. This doesn't matter."
"..." - ".Li Chang Su thought that this Xianzhai was indeed cruel to two people who already had nothing left.
"If you don't want to be a servant, I will ask Mu Xianzhai."
"No!" The two of them immediately turned pale-faced and kneeled in front of him.
Li Chang Su was surprised. Are both so scared?
Xuyao immediately said, "We love this job. Please don't say anything to the king."
"Daughter, please let us always be here to serve the Princess." Xuxu also supports.
"..." - ".Li Chang Su was now convinced that Mu Xianzhai was threatening him.
All of a sudden, the three of them heard the sound of a whip and the cry of someone sharp enough. Li Chang Su recovered from his thoughts and got up. Wasn't that Mu Xianzhai's voice.
"What's really going on?" muttered the girl.
