Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Three Days Before the Wedding (2)
XUYAO stopped her steps and bowed again. His cold sweaty back involuntarily went back to goosebumps. Xuxu himself might not know if Xuyao's hands were already flooded with sweat. He did not answer Xuxu's question and immediately knocked on Mu Xianzhai's study room door.
The two subordinates who were guarding the door of the study room did not forbid them because they already knew with their identities.
When the voice from inside the room sounded permissible, the two opened the door carefully.
In front of them, Mu Xianzhai sat on a study desk chair while examining the many reports of the Bingshui State crisis. This is not the first time the country has experienced a crisis. Xuyao let out a long sigh and stood not far away from him.
He knew that meeting Mu Xianzhai at this time would also not make a good result. But there is no harm in trying.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the princess already knows who this servant is," Xuyao said.
Mu Xianzhai who was reading it frowned. Then glanced at Xuyao and Xuxu with a slight sneer. Real fast?
He asked the two to play the role of a little servant beside the girl. Sheltering it. But unexpectedly directly hit on the spot?
"Even a small thing like this can't?" Ask.
"No, no ... It's not like that. But the princess seemed to be much smarter than this servant. Please her guidance," she hurriedly shook her head and knelt down to ask for help.
Xuxu did the same. Asking Mu Xianzhai to give them good advice. After all, as someone who had been appointed by Mu Xianzhai's arrogance, they were unable to refute or take the crooked (treacherous) path.
These two maids had Mu Xianzhai trained for the past three years. And now it was time for these two servants to live up to his expectations. He had planned something for the future. At the very least, Li Chang Su would not be too exhausted if these two maids accompanied him.
But it seemed that Li Chang Su was more sensitive than he had expected. And this became something that made him have to think again when he wanted to protect the girl from the darkness.
"Of course this king's little girl is smarter than you. Don't try to compare things with failed pretenses" Mu Xianzhai sneered.
"....," The two could not say anything and waited for another order.
"Because you have become his servant, this king has no opinion. Go and do your job well," she kicked him out of the study.
"But, Your Majesty—"
"This king thinks that your Sword Valley still needs a lot of practice. The princess of this King has a lot of sense. So think to yourself," Mu Xianzhai interrupted his words.
Having no definite answer, the two maids finally came out of the study room and headed for their courtyard. Xuyao was a little confused. He thought about what Mu Xianzhai said. This Sword Valley, if the man did not mention it, perhaps he would forget.
Three years ago he was rescued by Mu Xianzhai from the Sword Valley ambush. Not only saved him, but also rebuilt the Sword Valley. But there are conditions that must be met. Since Xuyao and Xuxu had deep gratitude towards the arrogant man, they were willing to humble themselves to be servants.
Not only that, Xuyao and Xuxu actually did not possess any powerful martial arts. Even after three years under Mu Xianzhai's guidance, they were only able to develop a little inner power science. The rest, focus more on sword training.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xuxu looked puzzled, "Xuyao, is the princess the right master for us?"
"Why are you asking?"
Xuyao herself chose to sit on one of the chairs and pour some drinking water for herself. The weather outside is very cold. Even the water became so cold. After drinking, he asked another servant to get him a brazier. This room is too cold.
How could Xuxu not ask. Although he looked stupid and weak, he was actually also mature enough to think. Both of them came from the Sword Valley, one of the places where good swordsmen were. But since the ambush and also the mutated beast attack, everything changed.
Not many survived them. However, he may have lived somewhere in seclusion.
All this time, the Sword Valley had never been known to the world. Except for certain people and also Mu Xianzhai.
"The princess doesn't seem to be a simple person, does she?" Ask Xuxu again.
"of course. That's why I was so nervous."
Li Chang Su's aura completely left him almost out of breath. Like Mu Xianzhai's twin in some ways. During this year, Mu Xianzhai had suffered a lot due to the fate of the silver dragon bracelet that did not know where it was.
"alright. Starting today, we can be off guard or relax. The princess will be suspicious of us. This is not the right time to show who our identity is before him. Even His Majesty was unwilling to take care of it," Xuyao snorted then kept her sword by the bedside before finally rolling up the blanket.
It was very cold this afternoon ...
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
At night, Li Chang Su was already wearing all-black clothes. Plus a black robe that made her mysterious, she intended to open the door. But someone else outside had preceded him. When the door was opened, Mu Xianzhai's figure was already neat with her elegant dark blue clothes.
With a fox-furred robe on his collar, the man smiled at Li Chang Su. This girl is very fond of wearing dark clothes, like a little thief at night.
Outside, the weather is not very friendly. Snow is down again. Although not heavy, but it is enough to make the cold.
"Why not wear the robe I bought that day?" Ask.
"Uuh, it's not comfortable to sneak. Light robes are more comfortable."
That also seems justified. So Mu Xianzhai did not ask too many questions. After carrying the girl, he immediately jumped into the shadows, mingling with the snowy night.
Li Chang Su who was now in his arms felt his heart thump. Looking at the man's not-so-clear face, somehow an uncomfortable feeling enveloped his heart. Without him noticing, the actual sign of a pair of wings on his left wrist was now slightly glowing. And the melted wound of the candle was completely recovered.
Had Mu Xianzhai known this, he would have thought that Li Chang Su liked him. Narcissists like this are hard points to change.
The two arrived at the empress dowager's residence secretly. Mu Xianzhai took a path towards the window to avoid the eyes of the guards and other servants. Who knows, there are a few eyes that the other party planted for the empress dowager.
Upon entering the room, the scent of tranquilizing incense immediately smelled. Not many lanterns were lit, so the room was a little dim. The empress' widow was reading an old book in bed. Sometimes I cough and drink tea.
The personal servant who was asleep on the sofa woke up when he heard a small commotion at the window, and was about to shout for help. But when he found out that someone was smothering his mouth, the servant stiffened and was frightened.
"Do you dare to scream?" Li Chang Su asked in a soft tone. He had just teleported through the artifact space ability.
When the servant found out that Mu Xianzhai was coming with the princess, the servant finally calmed down. Only then did Li Chang Su let go of his hand and greet the empress dowager who was just smiling.
"Aijia is waiting. Let the maid prepare something if something is needed," said the empress dowager not wanting the girl to be so careful.
"Grandmother's polite."
Li Chang Su did not need much to remove the chronic poison from the empress dowager's body. He had already taken out a small box before and kept it on a table near the bed.
Mu Xianzhai was unwilling to bother Li Chang Su to treat his grandmother and sat down quietly. Ask the empress dowager's personal servant to prepare warm water for this poison dispensing requirement.
The servant hurriedly left. When someone asks, he is very good at answering. Just tell me if the empress dowager wants to warm her legs. This was done so that the spies in the palace of the empress dowager did not get accurate information.
Li Chang Su did not use any special methods, only a few silver needles and also an empty container. He was waiting for the waiter to bring him warm water.
"Su'er, I guess, how long does this toxin production process take?" Mu Xianzhai asked curiously.
He saw a silver needle that was quite long, pointed and looked ineffective. But he knows little about the old treatment. This silver needle has many benefits. Especially if the silver needles have been specially made for the treatment of severe diseases.
Li Chang Su seemed to be counting the time in his mind, before finally replying, "Since the chronic poison in grandmother's body has not been planted for long, then the process only takes an hour. It not only excretes the poison, but also nourishes his body."
The empress' widow sometimes likes to get tired when she walks too far. In addition to not like to roam in the yard and choose to lock themselves, then the muscles in the body do not move much. Make some new problems. The empress' widow knew this matter well. Just nod.
When the empress dowager's personal servant came, it wasn't alone. But along with a man dressed in red who made Mu Xianzhai's face behind the mask blackened. Unknowingly, his body stiffened.
While the other party was also quite surprised. However it was only a moment before it finally chuckled and opened its folding fan, blocking the smile on its face.
"Well, Third Prince, it's nice to see you again" he said in a slightly seductive tone.
