"Sisi," Xiao Yi called out in his mind.
"Xiao Yi? You're back in the capital?" Nan Wusi's surprised voice came over, which reassured Xiao Yi a little.
"Yes, I'm sorry I'm late," Xiao Yi said.
"You already knew?"
"Yes, Xuan Li just told me about this," Xiao Yi replied. "Are you safe now?"
“I am safe, but my second brother and Sister Fang are in Xiao Mu’s hands. If I don’t agree, he will kill them all.” Nan Wusi’s voice was low and dejected.
"I will send people to find their whereabouts, Sisi, wait for me," Xiao Yi said. He knew that the only way to prevent Nan Wusi from marrying Xiao Mu was to wait until her family and friends were safe.
“Okay,” Nan Wusi replied simply.
"Do you know when the wedding is?" Xiao Yi didn't know how much time he had left.
"It should be in three days." Nan Wusi only found out from Xiao Mu that they were getting married so soon.
"I see."
“Someone’s coming.” After saying that, Nan Wusi immediately turned his attention back to reality.
"Sister Si, come and try on your wedding dress." Xiao Mu said to Nan Wusi with a happy face. Originally, he only planned to take Nan Wusi as a concubine, and concubines are not allowed to wear bright red wedding dresses. However, now that he is going to marry Nan Wusi as the Crown Princess, the wedding dress naturally needs to be made again, which has delayed the process.
"Okay." Nan Wusi nodded obediently, which pleased Xiao Mu greatly.
After that, a group of palace maids came to help Nan Wusi change his clothes. Even so, it took quite a bit of time to put on this elaborate wedding dress.
Xiao Mu actually had the patience to wait for Nan Wusi here, which was a great honor for her.
After Nan Wusi changed, she came to Xiao Mu for him to look at.
"Sister Si, you are so beautiful." Xiao Mu was somewhat infatuated with her. The thought that Nan Wusi, this celestial woman, was about to become his Crown Princess made him feel itchy and eager to consummate the marriage and ravage her.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but walk towards Nan Wusi, wanting to kiss her.
But Nan Wusi would never do as he wished. She saw Xiao Mu's eyes clearly, and his expression of utter disgust was equally evident.
Seeing Xiao Mu approaching, she kept backing away.
Xiao Mu felt a surge of irritation as he looked at the utter disgust in Nan Wusi's eyes. Every noblewoman in the capital was eager to fawn over him, but only Nan Wusi avoided him like the plague.
She truly hated him, and he sensed it. Nan Wusi's childhood infatuation and adoration for him had vanished without a trace, replaced by disgust and alienation.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mu lost his mood. "In three days, you will be my lawfully wedded Crown Princess. Even if you hate me then, you will still be mine for life."
As Xiao Mu left, he didn't forget to utter a harsh remark. Looking at Nan Wusi's indifferent expression, he realized he had only made a fool of himself.
After Xiao Mu left, Ouyang Jiangli, filled with jealousy, also came to Nan Wusi's room.
"You vile woman, what tricks did you use to make the Crown Prince marry you as his principal wife? He clearly promised me that he would only take you as a concubine." Ouyang Jiangli's expression was extremely distorted, her originally beautiful face deformed by the ferocious look.
"If you want the position of Crown Princess, then so be it. No matter how much you covet it, I don't care." Nan Wusi said indifferently. "I never liked Xiao Mu in the first place. If he hadn't used such dirty tricks, I wouldn't have bothered to marry him."
"If you can stop Xiao Mu from marrying me, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life." Nan Wusi looked at Ouyang Jiangli very seriously and said that she really hoped that Ouyang Jiangli could help her.
Seeing Nan Wusi's extremely serious expression, Ouyang Jiangli was somewhat bewildered. She had always regarded Nan Wusi as her rival in love, but she did not expect that he would not care at all.
However, she knew that the most important reason Xiao Mu married Nan Wusi was because of the military power in Nan Tianba's hands. She dared not ruin Xiao Mu's plans. If she caused Xiao Mu's failure, she would die a terrible death.
Watching Ouyang Jiangli slink away, Nan Wusi sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected the original female lead to be so useless, unable to even handle such a small matter.
For the next three days, Nan Wusi had a very peaceful time. Neither Xiao Mu nor Ouyang Jiangli bothered her. However, Xiao Yi also rarely replied to Nan Wusi, and it was unclear what he was busy with.
In fact, Xiao Mu had been having a lot of headaches these past few days because he kept hearing reports from his subordinates that the vassal kings in various places had declared rebellion at almost the same time and were marching towards the capital.
During this period, Xiao Mu was dealing with this matter, arranging and deploying troops to fight, and trying to keep these vassal kings out of the capital.
At the same time, he also sent people to contact these vassal kings to find out why they wanted to rebel. If he could meet their conditions and appease them so they would stop rebelling, that would be enough.
But to his surprise, none of the men he sent returned; it seemed they had all been killed by the vassal kings.
"Bang!" Xiao Mu slammed his fist on the table. Who on earth was causing trouble and making such a commotion?
If the rebellion of these vassal kings is not handled properly, even if he ascends the throne, he may be overthrown soon. Therefore, he must quell this rebellion.
"Where is Nan Tianba? Pass on my order to send him to meet the enemy." Xiao Mu instructed his subordinates, even drawing his Rende Sword.
After he framed the Third Prince for treason and then eliminated him, the Benevolent Sword, a reward from the hunt, fell into his hands.
After receiving the Benevolent Sword, the subordinate immediately rushed towards Nan Tianba's army outside the capital.
However, after receiving Xiao Mu's order, Nan Tianba sneered: "This crown prince wants to exercise imperial power so soon? How laughable."
Nan Tianba killed the messenger and seized the Rende Sword. Now his only goal is to go to the capital to rescue the emperor. As for the turmoil of these vassal kings, it has nothing to do with him.
Once the emperor is rescued, if he then orders Nan Tianba to engage in battle, he will naturally lead his troops there.
As for Xiao Mu, he is currently just a rebellious crown prince and is not yet qualified to command him.
However, after learning of the princes' rebellion, Nan Tianba quickened his pace to the capital. If he arrived late, even if he rescued Xiao Teng, it would be very troublesome to exonerate the princes.
Xiao Yi was also very busy during this period. He needed to prepare for too many things, and at the same time, he kept sending more people to search for Nan Wuyu and others who were being held captive somewhere.
Now everything will be clear in three days.
