Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Back to the War King's Palace
LI CHANG SU finally realized that the painting of the middle-aged man was indeed the mysterious grandfather who gave the silver dragon bracelet. Actually, it was a retired emperor.
At first he was unsure and checked again. But the result remains the same. It was indeed a mysterious grandfather in the deserts of the Middle East. As Mu Xianzhai and the empress dowager learned of this truth, there was a huge shock that was hard to digest. And Li Chang Su was a bit absentminded.
No one would have thought that the retired emperor had actually come to modern times and given him this bracelet. In other words, the retired emperor was still alive.
"If it's true that the old man is still alive, I'd be happy to wait for him to return," the empress dowager felt tears could be dammed again. And the two maids who were watching him immediately helped him stand up properly.
Everyone expected that the retired emperor would still be alive and bring glory to the old empire. The current Emperor Mu had also long searched many places to find retired emperors. But it always fails.
After confirming if it was the mysterious grandfather who gave the silver dragon bracelet, Mu Xianzhai brought Li Chang Su home. And ask the empress dowager to rest well. Don't let this make her body sick.
Li Chang Su was still somewhat dazed even when he was on the carriage. Thinking of the mysterious grandfather of course. How can I become a retired emperor?
"Su'er ... Are you all right?" Asked the man in a worried tone, hugging him tightly.
"I'm just surprised. Everything is fine" he replied calmly.
"What did grandfather look like?"
"He .... Dress old-fashioned, long hair, just like you guys. I was thinking if he was just a grandfather traveling the world. But it's quite strange to appear in the desert, too" explained Li Chang Su as he recalled.
At that time he planned to check out the criminals in the desert. Accidentally seeing the grandfather walking towards her. He thought if it was a spy or an enemy sent. It turned out that only an ordinary grandfather was thirsty.
That was why, Li Chang Su gave him some drinking water. And the mysterious grandfather gave him a silver dragon bracelet while saying some nonsense words. At least, it was nonsense according to Li Chang Su's thoughts.
Mu Xianzhai finally knew about this and he was initially quite surprised because when Li Chang Su told him about it, there was no part of it. Not only that, even when mentioned, he did not suspect that the mysterious grandfather was a retired emperor.
Because according to him, the silver dragon bracelet would disappear into the sky when he looked for a mate. And don't know when it'll come back. Who could explain if it would fall into the hands of a retired emperor?
The man hugged her even tighter and there was a trace of hope in his eyes. At least, grandfather is still alive.
"And there was one more thing ...," Li Chang Su finally recalled, "the grandfather is gone, one day it will definitely meet again."
Doesn't that mean the retired emperor would return it at any time? Mu Xianzhai's eyes narrowed slightly and thought about it for quite a while. His grandfather must be somewhere right now. Or maybe go back hunting mutated beast kings.
It seemed like the opportunity to explore the outside world and follow Li Chang Su, was the correct decision. Hopefully on the way later, he can meet with the retired emperor.
Li Chang Su did not sleep on the train as a result of telling me about the mysterious grandfather. Once confirmed, then the riddle in his heart was also answered. There was no need to think anymore about who the mysterious grandfather was.
After the carriage arrived at the War King's Palace, Li Chang Su went to the room and continued sleeping. It was winter that made her sleepy. For the first time in her life as a female-only warrior, she was relaxed and lazy.
Mu Xianzhai would not forbid or tell him to do anything. Let the servants work. His wife doesn't have to bother with trivia. The man went to the study after getting the maid's report.
Could it be that aunt punished him? As a mother, it felt impossible for Mu Hongzhi to be injured like this.
"Cousin, you're finally back. Master Ye and second cousin came to me and forced me to come here to meet you. But you don't exist. So we waited in the study," Mu Hongzhi opened his mouth to give some explanation. But seeing that Mu Xianzhai was slightly displeased, he again said, "don't worry. Nothing was touched. The second cousin could be responsible!"
Mu Peizhi who was holding the teacup trembled slightly. Staring at Mu Hongzhi reluctantly, he knew this was a coercive retribution. Just smiling stiffly, he drank his tea which tasted more bland than before. Ye Tianli snorted. But didn't say anything. If this thing were shot towards the second prince, he would be the one to replace him.
A prince whose body was quite weak due to illness, he could not bear to push it (throwing responsibility).
Mu Xianzhai did not care who was right or wrong in this matter. He watched the wound on Mu Hongzhi's forehead, "What's wrong with your forehead? Did your mother hit?"
"Ahhh ..," Mu Hongzhi involuntarily touched the wound again and his face was full of mercy, "Cousin, I am very curious about the gift that mother gave to cousin-in-law. So ask him and say if he messes around, threatens or tries to demean cousin-in-law, I'll get out of the family tree!"
"...."
How could that guy be so stupid as to say things? Although the corner of Mu Xianzhai's mouth twitched, he still asked her what her aunt's reaction was.
"Mother hit me with a broom and went around the yard. I accidentally hit a pillar and got hurt. That's when my mom panicked and yelled to call the healer."
Ye Tianli did not care, but sometimes he was jealous of the normal life of the other child. He himself did not have such an opportunity, being pampered by his mother or relatives. The mysterious Ye family is too strict in educating all of her children.
The second prince who was grieving for this one and only cousin let out a sigh of pity, "Then, are the injuries serious?"
"No," answering this, Mu Hongzhi was slightly embarrassed, "it's actually just a bruise. Not too severe or swollen. But my mother was hard. He asked the healer to bandage my wounds. Even when the healer said it wasn't necessary and just applied ointment, my mother actually kicked the healer out and called out to the others."
"...."
This time the three were convinced that Mu Hongzhi's mother was actually very kind and considerate, full of worry and affection. It's just that the way it's delivered is different.
Unfortunately ... What age is this Mu Hongzhi? No younger than Mu Xianzhai. But his mother treated him like a poor baby.
Mu Hongzhi wanted to take off this bandage of wounds. But worry if his mother finds out and scolds him again. So you can only be satisfied with his unfortunate fate.
Mu Xianzhai took a seat opposite them. And the waiter provided tea for her, before finally leaving the room and closing the door carefully.
As for their arrival, there were only two possibilities. First, about Mu Peizhi's disease. Second, it has to do with cooperation. First of all, Mu Hongzhi reported how many mutated beasts entered the border fortress today. And the condition of the soldiers in the military barracks is quite stable.
That way, after a week of marriage with her Li Chang Su passed, she could return to the military barracks. Or at least go wherever the girl wants. One week was the limit that the emperor had given him to enjoy a new status of life.
After Mu Hongzhi's report was finished, the man looked at Mu Peizhi, "Then, what made the second brother come to find me?"
