Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Back to the Capital
WHEN THE SUN had crawled on the eastern horizon, the atmosphere was still very quiet. Neither Li Chang Su nor Mu Xianzhai had a good sleep. Let's just say, they were awake all morning.
When it exited the tent, Mu Xianzhai was somewhat dazed. His face was quite fresh, but some corners of his clothes were messy. Thinking of what had just happened a few hours ago, his face hardened slightly. The girl was like a deadly poison flower. Every time I see it, it's stimulating.
While Li Chang Su was still silent in the tent. His clothes were the most messy. If Mu Xianzhai had not restrained himself so hard, he might have already been eaten by a hungry big wolf.
The girl was still slightly flushed in embarrassment. Actually quite sleepy. But since this morning they had to continue on their way, Li Chang Su did not have the time to relax. After making sure that all the red marks on his body were covered, he walked out of the tent without even wanting to look at the man.
Mu Xianzhai seemed to be talking to some of his kneeling subordinates. They looked tense and cold. Due to the early morning incident earlier, Mu Xianzhai seemed to be angry at the group of people who were burning spring incense indiscriminately.
Then not knowing which dark guard, Mu Xianzhai seemed to be shocked. Judging from the appearance of that dark guard, it should not belong to Mu Xianzhai or Mu Hongzhi.
"Whose dark guard are you?" Ask the man a little annoyed. His subordinates stood up and prepared to take the sword.
However, just as they were on standby to detain people at any time, the unknown dark guard took out a letter.
"Your Majesty, I am the guardian of the empress dowager. Please accept the letter immediately and return to the capital as soon as possible" the dark guard replied still kneeling for him.
Mu Xianzhai was quite surprised. She never knew that her grandmother had a dark guard like this. So suspecting. After receiving the letter and reading the contents, his hands trembled slightly. He destroyed the letter.
Staring at the dark guard who was still kneeling, he probably had to believe, "Tell grandma, that I'll be back soon with Su'er."
"Yes," the unknown dark guard had finally completed the mission and again disappeared in the shadows.
Mu Xianzhai's expression behind the mask was still not sure enough for Li Chang Su to notice. But after reading the letter from the dark guard earlier, it seems to have something to do with the empress dowager.
The man ordered his subordinates to find Mu Hongzhi. This situation is an emergency. Mu Xianzhai walked over to Li Chang Su and patted him on the shoulder, squeezing slightly. He did not know which side to speak from.
On the other hand, the empress dowager fell ill and the healer said that it was a chronic poison. Currently lying on the bed with a pale face. I don't know if I can have hope for life. But on the other hand too, Mu Xianzhai knew that Li Chang Su did not want to get married fast.
"Su'er ...," She opened her voice. Her charming-looking eyes in the slit of the silver mask flickered desperately.
"Did something happen? If there is something, you can return to the capital to handle it," Li Chang Su did not want to be consumed by his seduction.
"Su'er, grandma is sick from chronic poison and is asking us to come back now" Mu Xianzhai said.
"Why me too?" The girl was suspicious.
"Grandmother wants us to get married after arriving in the capital. The War King's Palace is currently busy preparing for the wedding under the orders of the grandmother."
Hearing this topic again, Li Chang Su tensed up. Why is everything so bad? Is this intentional or a conspiracy?
He knew there was nothing good about the palace. Everything is full of plans and cunning that never finds an end. The empress' widow, intentionally or unintentionally wanted to make Mu Xianzhai actually marry her sooner.
It seems to be the scent of a deliberate conspiracy. The empress' widow wanted him to marry Mu Xianzhai regardless of the reason. Just thinking of this alone, his expression cooled down. Mu Xianzhai's heart was pounding. Su'er is angry. Looks like predicting something.
The girl sighed helplessly and asked Mu Xianzhai to tidy up the items here. Then back to the capital. She wanted to know what the empress dowager wanted through this forced marriage.
Previously, Li Chang Su had not seen anything wrong with the body of the empress dowager. Now suddenly appeared chronic toxins. There are two possibilities, someone deliberately wanted to kill him or this was the plan of the empress dowager himself.
"Su'er, aren't you mad at me?"
The man felt a bit bitter in his heart. But quietly approached the girl and hugged her from behind.
"Forget that," Li Chang Su was unwilling to say anything at this moment.
But Mu Xianzhai was so stubborn and hugged him tighter. The man was a little uncomfortable with Li Chang Su's indifference. Kissing his earlobe, the man could only whisper.
Li Chang Su's face reddened and broke away from his embrace, unwilling to look at the man directly, "You think too much."
Seeing that the girl had become shy, Mu Xianzhai chuckled and felt calmer. At least Su'er did not refuse to marry her. This is good too. Although there might be reluctance, she could still persuade him slowly after the marriage. The two are destined to be together.
Mu Hongzhi finally returned in haste as one of Mu Xianzhai's dark guards searched for him to return immediately. The empress' widow is sick. They did not have time for breakfast and immediately turned the horse carriage back to the capital.
This time it was faster than before. Mu Hongzhi became a coachman and made the horses run faster.
Along the way, Mu Xianzhai and Li Chang Su did not say much. But the man asked to rest and sleep for a while to eliminate drowsiness earlier today.
"I'll wake you up after arriving at the capital. Go to sleep" he said.
This horse carriage was spacious and was able to make two people lie down comfortably. There are many padded that hold the body from getting sick. Li Chang saw Mu Xianzhai draw up a pillow for him and hesitated.
"What about you?" Ask.
"I'm doing fine. But you look very sleepy. Don't worry, I've gotten used to the lack of hours of sleep," she smiled meaningfully and embraced Li Chang Su, "rest."
"okay."
Li Chang Su was still sleep deprived. With cold weather like this, the drowsiness gets stronger. He lay down comfortably. With the horse carriage speeding quietly, he was like he was being struck. At the end of the day not worrying about anything and falling asleep well.
Mu Xianzhai tidied up the girl's bangs and smiled helplessly. Then kiss her forehead. Then his expression came back serious. He was worried that if the empress dowager was sick like this, the empress would have a chance to suppress the second prince's side.
Without the empress dowager observing, the empress had the right to rule a portion of the people in the palace.
***
In the capital itself, Emperor Mu was very worried about his mother's health. He asked many trusted healers to check what really happened to his mother. Currently, the empress dowager was just lying on the bed with a pale face. A few pillows in the pile so he can lean comfortably.
Looking at her son who was extremely worried, the empress dowager smiled without any regrets. He held the man's hand. Time seems to have passed a lot. Both of his sons were grown and gave him many grandchildren. Unfortunately, his second son had no idea where it was at the moment.
And also, about the retired emperor ....
"Mother, say something to this son of yours ..," Emperor Mu's voice was very gentle and full of fatigue.
He was busy with court affairs. And after the disaster yesterday. Now when the empress dowager fell ill, her burden increased.
"Mother just wants Zhai'er to marry Chang Su. Let them get married" he said.
"Mom ...," Emperor Mu was a little distrustful of her request, "do they not want to get married yet?" Ask.
"It wasn't Zhai'er who didn't want to, but the girl. Well, quite stubborn ...," The empress' widow was a little grieved.
Li Chang Su was like a fire-saving lamp character (something that was not easy to handle). The empress' widow wants her beloved granddaughter to be well married to the fate of the silver dragon bracelet. Someone had planned to make him die a long time ago.
However since he closed himself off, the other party always had no reason. Now they attack at the right time when he is outside. Loosened alertness. Alright, he might not be able to stay in the palace for long. And his relatives in the neighboring country can be safe.
Emperor Mu clasped his mother's hand affectionately and nodded, "Mom, rest assured. His son will get them married."
"Aijia knows what's best for them. Getting married is more important than cultivating feelings first. Aijia knew that the girl was good for Zhai'er. Don't disappoint Aijia," said the empress dowager very calmly, as if, these were words at the time when her life was about to end.
"Mother, the son understands."
Right now, perhaps the empress dowager and emperor had a talk about the marriage of Mu Xianzhai and Li Chang Su. But on the crown prince's side, it's like the calm before the storm ....
