Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Sneaking Into the War King's Palace
COULD IT BE that Mu Xianzhai was really in a matter of life?
That pair of black wings was getting hotter and painful. I don't know how long it will take, eventually it will subside. Li Chang Su was in a daze, bandaging back around his left wrist with a soft white cloth.
Not only He Ze, but he also felt it. Instead of being confused and second-guessing, he finally got up and put on a fairly light rain-proof robe. His big hood covers his head, making sure he won't be showered.
Going through the window, he stuffed He Ze into the artifact room. With his martial arts abilities, he could jump from a building to a nearby building or tree. Hiding like a cat peeking at a prey. With He Ze's guidance, he could see the war king's palace which was at the top of a small hill.
The existence of the war king's palace was indeed different from the palaces of the other princes. In the past, the hill was the emperor's gift to the beloved concubine of—ibu Mu Xianzhai. Even though he was dead, the emperor never took back the gift. Then just give it to his favorite son to be made a palace.
Say, the palace of the war king is vast. There are two gates to get to the yard. First, the gate under the hill. Two guards are always on standby. And the last gate of the palace. If it can pass through the first gate, then it can enter easily.
Li Chang Su jumped from tree to tree, sneaking into the courtyard of the palace. He knew there were many darkness guards protecting the place. Hence, he immediately hid his breath. Unite with night.
Looking at one of the lit rooms on the side of the main courtyard, he was sure that Mu Xianzhai was there.
While he did not know that currently, the silver dragon bracelet stored on the nightstand was slightly moving. Especially the silver dragon eyes that gave off a red glow. Unfortunately, this is not noticed by the people who are in it.
Mu Xianzhai lay weakly in bed. Netting neatly tied in his pole. While Mu Hongzhi was pacing back and forth in the room, waiting for the palace physician to finish diagnosing him. Unfortunately, the palace physician was helpless. He shook his head towards Mu Hongzhi with an apology.
"This ... This old physician is helpless."
"What??!" Mu Hongzhi squeezed the two healers' shoulders desperately, "isn't your medicine usually effective? Why not this time? Don't you see that my cousin is dying?" He looked impatient and wanted to kill people.
His cousin is the strongest. He followed her all day as a child. Like a puppy following master, Mu Hongzhi never complained about anything.
To him, in this world, other than the violent mother of the rules, there was Mu Xianzhai who was protecting him. He had already tasted the taste of a hard and cold-blooded struggle.
So when she saw her cousin pale in bed after vomiting blood this afternoon, she felt that the world had punished her so harshly. Unfortunately, this condition cannot be known by everyone. Even the emperor himself did not know.
Ever since Mu Xianzhai was behind closed doors to cultivate, opening up his blocked inner power science meridian network, his personal physician had already banned. Everything will affect the body, not good. Also potentially lifelong dantian disability.
Just by imagining it alone, Mu Hongzhi knew how terrifying it was.
His conversation with the healer was heard by Li Chang Su who was in the dark. His hand holding on to one of the small posts grew even stronger.
This news that he did not know for sure. Li Chang Su knew that Mu Xianzhai had a blocked inner power. But his martial arts are strong.
Who knows that in one year alone, the man actually forced himself to take risks. Mu Hongzhi said if it was because Mu Xianzhai no longer wanted to be hypnotized by the other party?
Meaning it started since the love potion case last year?
The more thoughtful Li Chang Su felt depressed. That year, Mu Xianzhai went to the ravine to find him. It takes at least a week.
The man shouted and continued to call his name while apologizing. He even promised to take her to the beach, catch a fish. But Li Chang Su was silent in the artifact room. Without intending to get out.
The sadness on his face at that time also still clearly remembered. Despite wearing a mask, Li Chang Su admitted that Mu Xianzhai's majesty was not lost.
Was that why he also decided to open up the blocked meridian network?
Li Chang Su almost dissolved into memories one year ago when he last saw her. Suddenly, he felt something approaching.
He hid himself even deeper, removing the trace of breath. Only then could he faintly see, a few men dressed in all black with swords on the backs of— appearing silently.
It's a hit man!
Li Chang Su had no idea what was going on and who sent these people. But clearly, their martial arts were not small. But it was still below the level of Li Chang Su. Squinting his eyes, he saw some of the hitmen giving hand codes, then whispering in secret.
If you think about it, maybe only the crown prince's side will kill Mu Xianzhai right?
"Pst!! The woman said the warlord was sick. It's the right time to kill him. After killing, burn the room and report everything to master," one of them whispered very quietly.
They nodded, understanding each other.
That lady?
Li Chang Su who was in the dark thought hard. Who do they mean? Does anyone else know about this?
But Mu Hongzhi said no one knew. Except ... It's Rongyu. Only he who had General Rong's support behind, could hire anyone for information. It might also give the waiter illusions for this.
After all, the woman was good at making illusions in others. Not wrong anymore. This must be Rongyu! And the master they were referring to should be the crown prince. Li Chang Su took out a few poisonous silver needles, then threw them towards them. Right in the neck.
"Who's out there??!" He shouted with a cold tone. Then open the window after taking the sword.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xianzhai's subordinates kneeled with a feeling of guilt, "The branch was caught off guard and unaware of the enemy's movements. Please the son to punish the subordinates," he said steadily.
All the dark guards were wearing all-black clothes, faces blocked by masks. He could only see her eyes blinking coldly.
They were all dark guards who had been with Mu Xianzhai since childhood. Of course trained. But tonight, seeing the assassins lying on the floor, they almost got the king killed.
"Paid killer!"
Mu Hongzhi gritted his teeth. He can't blame them. After all, this was indeed not his subordinate. There is always a threshold of one's ability. It seemed, these hitmen were using ghost breath so that it could not be detected by the night guards.
"Who killed them?" Confused ask.
"This ... We don't know. After we sensed the other party's presence, we hurried over. But they're all dead" replied the dark guard, still kneeling.
"Check!" His order.
The dark guards examined the body of the hitman and found a poisonous needle stuck in their necks. When Mu Hongzhi saw her, he was stunned.
"General Hong, they were killed by poisonous needles" reported one of the dark guards.
"Toxic fragrances? What toxic needles?" Mu Hongzhi was confused.
"It seems like a master accidentally passed by and killed them. Could it be King Xian's secret guard?" The dark guard did not want to speculate further.
Mu Hongzhi shook his head, "That's impossible. My cousin doesn't have a secret guard."
Is there any coincidence in this world?
"alright. I'll talk to my cousin later. You sent their bodies first."
"Should we send him somewhere?"
"Save it. And wait for cousin to wake up. He'll make a decision."
The dark guards were following his orders.
While Mu Hongzhi was still silent for a while, then closed the window again.
Then he thought, who knows this?
On the other hand, Li Chang Su continued to pay attention from the darkness. He opened the abilities of the god's eyes and looked around.
In reality, there was a small figure hiding in the darkness. Looks panicked. Then turn around to leave. Unfortunately, Li Chang Su immediately shot out another poisonous needle until the sound of a shocked shout sent the dark guards back down.
"Who's there?" Ask the dark guard while preparing with his sword.
"This ...," His colleague was surprised.
A servant lay lifeless on the other side of the courtyard. They're confused. What's the waiter here for the nights?
Then who killed him too?
This ghostly ability made them think if a master was secretly watching the courtyard. But did not intend to kill Mu Xianzhai. It's possible that this servant girl is a spy. Judging from the expression on his face while dying, it was clearly frightened.
"What is the world really about? There's still a great master?" Mumbled one of them.
When this matter was reported back to Mu Hongzhi, it felt like there was no safe place in the palace. The dark guards were ordered to keep an eye on every movement of the people around the palace. Anyone suspicious, arrest and lock up!
The palace physician felt very tired. He was finally able to rest his old bones in another room. While Mu Hongzhi will be guarding his cousin tonight.
Outside, Li Chang Su could not enter if the man was still awake. Carefully, he took out a perfume bottle from the artifact room. Unfortunately, this is not a perfume fragrance, but an air anesthetic. Anyone who inhales it in a conscious state will fall asleep until morning.
Li Chang Su sprayed it through the ventilation gap. Originally Mu Hongzhi frowned, feeling that something was wrong. But suddenly he was sleepy. Before he could speak to summon the dark guard, he fell on the long chair. Sleeping off.
Only then did a small figure in a pale blue dress enter.
