Being the King of War's Smart Wife
The Koi Fish that Died, Curse?
MU XIANZHAI sneered. If he had not come and witnessed or heard it in person, they would have surely continued to admire his future wife. How could he want that to happen? He could finally order them to send the bodies of the other party's dark guards to the courtyard of General Rong's residence. The rest will be punished.
The man had good reason to punish them. It was so careless that the enemy entered the courtyard where Li Chang Su lived.
“Go accept your punishment. Tell Mu Hongzhi, feel free to punish.”
After saying so, Mu Xianzhai went to catch up with the girl. It's still morning. It was not too late to go to the palace and meet the empress dowager. When he saw Li Chang Su was talking to some servants, he frowned. There was a dead koi fish inside a box wrapped in shabby cloth.
His face suddenly darkened. Perhaps Li Chang Su did not understand what it meant to send this dead koi fish. But he knows. So when Li Chang Su was confused by the whereabouts of the dead fish being sent to his courtyard, Mu Xianzhai asked the servant to bury him.
“Why would someone send a dead koi fish?” Li Chang Su asked Mu Xianzhai.
The man let out a long sigh and was a little angry about this, “Is Su’er that koi fish is the epitome of love?”
“Of course. In my day, it was not much different either. It is like any other fish. But what does this have to do with dead koi fish being sent to my yard?”
“That means someone wants to have hope that our love as husband and wife will not have love,” as he replied, a trace of coldness flashed across half of his silver-masked face.
“Someone cursed me not to have love in this marriage?”
Li Chang Su was surprised. But not out of worry will not have love, but rather this ridiculous thing. In ancient times like today, Li Chang Su had to understand some things related to hope, prayer or ancestral rules.
This age is still closely tied to the beliefs of the past. Where every disaster will be a sign of good or bad life to come. Or about the birth of the baby will be counted.
If born on a lucky day, it is believed to bring glory in life and family. If it is on a bad day, it is said to be a broom star (a pesky bearer).
It was no wonder that Li Chang Su had always seen dramas or novels where birthdays were always taken into account. Sometimes about a lonely king, or the main female character who is estranged from a large family. He thinks it's ridiculous.
In this world, both good and bad are determined by destiny. And man can choose his fate to determine his destiny. If true in this life one's birth is affected by a good or bad day, then a humanitarian war will last throughout history.
Suddenly, Li Chang Su wanted to laugh after thinking about all those life plots. Can he make a good fiction novel to read?
“So you mean, someone really cursed me for this ‘kan?” Ask Mu Xianzhai who currently did not know what he was thinking.
The man was worried if Li Chang Su would continue to think about it, so immediately persuade, “Su’er, do not worry. I'll take care of this. Only with dead koi fish being sent here to disrupt our marriage is that impossible. Not even the king of the underworld would be able to do it either!”
It was like an oath against the kings of the underworld. Mu Xianzhai did not care. He'll do anything he can to keep this girl safe and secure. Give happiness even if it takes a lot of struggle.
Li Chang Su originally only wanted to sneer and say if this was ridiculous. But seeing if Mu Xianzhai was really so serious about this, he suddenly lowered his head. Why the feelings in his heart were always changing.
He wanted to tell her something, but didn't know what. If he didn't take this seriously, perhaps Mu Xianzhai would think he didn't respect the gods' blessings. But really, this marriage is doomed. The silver dragon bracelet was the key.
So, happy or not, Li Chang Su actually did not care anymore.
“It ... Forgetit. Have you ancient people always believed?” He asked carefully.
“But they interrupt before the wedding day takes place, obviously they don't have good intentions. Sooner or later, I'll return this to them.”
Mu Xianzhai took her to the side room to have some tea. They chatted all the way. The man of course already had a guess as to who would want to screw up this marriage. If it wasn't Mu Lizheng, it would have been General Rong's residence. For the other party, it was impossible to do so.
He had been a war king for many years and knew anyone who had always looked at him. Even if the emperor loved him and treated him differently, he would stay away from the throne.
But even so, the other princes were still worried that he would present himself as the emperor's candidate. If this were possible, the emperor himself would grant it. Because in the eyes of the emperor, Mu Xianzhai was really like a son who was not born from a concubine, but a real wife.
This was also what made the empress hate Mu Xianzhai in her heart. He even asked his son to keep dealing.
Unfortunately, it always failed and ended up with the emperor's suspicions. At least, the emperor was not a fool, but also not as cruel as is always shown in novels or television dramas.
“In addition to the crown prince and General Rong, it seemed like there was no more,” Mu Xianzhai answered Li Chang Su's question about who might start this thought.
Messing up the wedding plans that had been destined by the silver dragon bracelet alone, was already a grave offense. Especially if it was intentional to curse the imperial family, the punishment was even more severe. The fastest is the death penalty.
Li Chang Su also thought this was possible. Rongyu had hatred towards him and had sent a dark guard to get his blood.
But if the crown prince, Mu Lizheng, he was less sure. Because, he had never met at all. Just looking from a distance. And the man did have some points of similarity to Mu Xianzhai.
“This is most likely to be Rongyu ..” He said, “I am worried if this problem keeps coming until the wedding day is held.”
“I won't let this happen. If the woman wants your blood, then just pretend. Give me another blood.”
“This is what I was thinking too. Actually I already had this plan when fighting those dark guards,” Li Chang Su felt that his idea was also thought out by that man.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xianzhai smiled and sipped tea for a while, “Su’er, we are truly destined to be together.”
“....,” Li Chang Su is already getting bored if the man starts to behave arrogantly about himself.
“Then, what blood will Su’er give her later?”
Well, this was also what Li Chang Su was thinking about from the beginning. What is good blood to give karma. At least, it should still be human blood, but not his he said this to Mu Xianzhai.
Every now and then, at least he had to ask her for help. If you do it yourself, it will take a lot of time.
Mu Xianzhai advised him to use Xuyao or Xuxu's blood. This won't be a problem. Later, the blood will be mixed with various poisons that can make all the scars on his body worse. Thinking of this alone, Li Chang Su already had a shadow in the future.
“Because you allowed Xuyao to draw blood, I will discuss this with her later,” Li Chang Su said unwilling to argue.
Before Mu Xianzhai returned his words, a servant stood outside the door and knocked. After the man allowed her to enter, the door opened cautiously. With his head bowed, the maid immediately reported something.
“Your Highness, Princess Li ... On the main page many chefs gathered. And Lord Ye came at the behest of the empress dowager. Master Ye wants to meet Princess Li to say some things.”
Just as Mu Xianzhai knew that Ye Tianli had come to meet Li Chang Su, his face was suddenly unfriendly.
Can't the man just disappear for a day?
