Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Guests Not Invited
SNOW fell again the next day. Li Chang Su had just woken up and let the maid warm up the water to take a bath. Xuxu prepared breakfast for him. After rinsing and washing her face, she finished breakfast.
It's two days before the wedding. The War King's palace became even busier. Li Chang Su got a letter from the empress dowager that later in the afternoon he should move to his palace. Before the heart of the marriage, she and Mu Xianzhai could not meet.
Xuyao had just returned from the backyard. She shivered, but was held back from looking weak in front of her young miss. Not knowing what Li Chang Su meant to let him soak in the cold water and almost freeze, Xuyao still carried out her orders.
For half an hour, he held on and finally met Li Chang Su to report the completion of his task. His face was a little pale. Makes Xuxu feel sorry for his situation.
"Miss, why did Xuyao have to soak in the ice-cold water? Wouldn't that make him sick?" Xuxu asked while putting a glass of warm milk on the table.
"It's just an early exercise. Over the next week, Xuyao had to do it," Li Chang Su did not want to hear any reason for the drai of the two and only gave her a bottle of pills.
As Xuyao looked at the transparent bottle containing this pill, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. He knew that Li Chang Su would not do anything for no reason. And Mu Xianzhai had explained that Li Chang Su was not a fool. Don't play with her.
The pill Li Chang Su gave Xuyao was a body-warming pill. After soaking in the cold water, he had to swallow one pill to restore his body temperature. After a week, he will explain his next steps.
For Xuxu, actually Li Chang Su was a little less confident about this exercise. So will use another way to exercise. The girl narrowed her eyes as she sensed the presence of the uninvited guest who was now hiding in the darkness. And his arrival seemed to be watching.
He sneered. Thinking of being able to spy on him so easily? Then it's just wishful thinking. Before finishing them, Li Chang Su cleaned himself first and put on a snow-white dress. Her hair was shaved off.
He asked Xuyao to tell Mu Xianzhai if the palace was being spied on by the other party. He himself would resolve this easily. Xuyao originally wanted to help her. But he refused. Not because he did not believe it, but this matter could not be known to the other party who might as well try to steal the information.
“A group of little dark guards who don't know where the sky is,”. After Xuyao and Xuxu left, he went out through the window and simply disappeared.
As the other party's dark guards saw him disappear, a touch of surprise appeared. Although the mask is blocked, their eyes clearly show it. Where did the girl disappear to?
The dark guards that sneaked spying on the War King Palace were unknowingly feeling a bad premonition. For some reason they seemed to know that Li Chang Su disappeared after they came. They gave each other a code to enter the girl's room.
Maybe I could find something useful. According to their master, the girl's marriage to the War King should not go well. Try to make the girl sick or something so that the marriage can be postponed again.
“Where did the girl go? His martial arts look good,” said one of them.
“Yes. Miss didn't say if the girl had good martial arts. Does he know where we are?” Ask another friend.
“It's impossible. She's just a workroom girl with little ability. What is so great compared to our master.”
“But I feel a bad feeling is coming,” one of them feels this cold atmosphere is not right and wants to go a little far to be safe.
The other dark guards did not feel the same way. They were waiting for Li Chang Su to return. That way they can launch the action. The dark guards in this palace are not many. Mu Xianzhai did not have many dark guards operating in the War King's Palace.
Even so, some of the dark guards present in this palace were also the best. Just when they had just finished discussing, the figure in white dress suddenly had already sat not far from the branch of the tree they were sitting on.
Since when was the girl near them?
One of them who became the leader also stared intently at Li Chang Su who had been there for quite a long time. The girl listened to what they were talking about. It turned out to make a mess on their wedding day later. Things like this turned out to be so important in ancient times.
Not to mention, in an age that still holds fast to the habits of the ancestors, certain cases always escape punishment. Not to mention, brothels*ran still so much. There is no law or prohibition. The women and men who came or went from such a place seemed to become a habit.
Actually not too much different from bars or nightlife places like in modern times. Although Li Chang Su did not know much, he often got the task to catch fugitives. And it is not uncommon to have to enter such entertainment venues to pretend to be entertainers.
Li Chang Su smiled and pretended to be confused, “Why not continue the discussion? I'm just being a good listener.”
The leader of the dark guard felt something unusual as he watched the girl in white dress, “Ka-you ... How did you suddenly get here?”
The voice of the man dressed in dark guard was not loud, but it managed to attract the attention of the dark guards in the War King Palace. They instantly appeared and took out a sword to kill, but Li Chang Su held it back.
“Princess, let us settle this matter,” the dark guard from the War King Palace side spoke up. Her tone was so cold. And the killing air suddenly came out.
And so do the other dark guards. There are no friendly things. As the dark guards that Mu Xianzhai had chosen to provide security, they did not hesitate to finish off the other party who was intruding. Actually dare to go to the page of the prospective princess.
However, instead of handing over a group of the other party's dark guards, Li Chang Su wanted to play for a while to let go of his longing for activity at the military base. He only used poisonous needles to kill two among the other party's dark guards.
When the poisonous silver needles stuck in their necks, the body was instantly weak and fell onto the snowy ground. The rest were shocked and could not believe that the girl had the courage to kill her people.
Since everything had already been discovered, they only needed to pluck the sword from its sheath, preparing to fight.
The dark guards of the War King Palace wanted to come and protect Li Chang Su, but again the girl refused. Let him watch from the side. But if it was done, their king would definitely get angry and punish.
But, was Li Chang Su afraid?
Of course not. He'll be responsible for this. If Mu Xianzhai dared to blame the dark guards for not protecting her well, he would ask the empress dowager to resign the marriage time. As the dark guards heard this, they shivered.
Not knowing why, they were slightly goosebumps as Li Chang Su said that. It was more cruel than their king. Because of this threat, they obediently watched from the side. But not to relax the alert.
But the dark guards whose presence was uninvited sneered behind his mask. Allowing the dark guards of the War King Palace to watch from the side, they were like they were hearing a joke.
What can the girl do other than ask for mercy later?
Although they had a slight worry, it did not undo their intention to obtain Li Chang Su's blood. If it doesn't work, then kill yourself.
“Small girl, are you sure you want to fight us alone?”
