Chapter 667 Following by the Side
After a while of chaos, Hu Xiner's mouth was dry and she waved her hand: "Now let's get back to the topic."
Zhao Yunxuan patted the wrinkles on his body and straightened the collar that was almost torn by Yin Li.
He was weak to begin with, and was able to survive because his meridians were nourished by the true Qi. Because of the conflict with Yin Li just now, his eyes were slightly watery and his cheeks were slightly red. His slightly furrowed brows disturbed the Buddha nature in his body, making him less warm and compassionate in saving the world, but more worldly.
Yin Li also straightened his tilted silver crown and sat back on the black wooden chair as if nothing had happened. He tapped his folding fan lightly on his palm and looked at the people in the room with a half-smile.
To be precise, he was looking at his two love rivals.
Mu Qing tightened his jaw and raised his hand to fasten half of his silver mask, revealing only half of his stunning face. His eye-catching appearance had a bit of majesty that could not be desecrated because the right half of his face was covered by the coldness.
He held Hu Xin'er's hand tightly, his attitude as cold as ice. When he entered the mansion just now, he could still barely convince himself that this was just a normal social interaction, but now...
The man's strong intuition told him that the two people in front of him were not only more handsome than each other, but also not easy to deal with.
The three men looked back and forth, and it seemed that intense sparks were flying, but Hu Xiner seemed to be excluded.
She held her forehead, not understanding how things had developed to this point.
"Well, that..." She said awkwardly, "Let's talk about this first..."
"I wonder what Young Master Zhao means?" Mu Qing said, his tone tinged with tension. "Hu Xin'er is my wife, and I was personally chosen by her to be her consort. It's definitely not Young Master Zhao's turn, is it?"
At the same time, he shook her hand and indicated that he would personally resolve the issue.
Being provoked in person by two men, he could not suppress his anger no matter what.
Yin Li sneered, "Hehe," and said, "Nothing in this world is absolute. Regardless of whether it's based on first come first served or on personal relationships, Mr. Zhao, I advise you to go back to your own temple."
Mu Qing and Yin Li's eyes met, and they snorted coldly at the same time, then looked at Zhao Yunxuan at the same time.
Being stared at by two sword-like gazes, Zhao Yunxuan sat steadily on the chair. His face was as white as jade under the black cloak, and he looked like a porcelain bottle on the verge of breaking, but his aura was not weak at all.
He relaxed his brows and spoke in a gentle voice, "Why are you all acting like you're facing a formidable enemy? I'm an outsider, not interested in marriage. I came down the mountain to sever this connection with the princess."
Hu Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "It turns out it was all a misunderstanding. I knew Lord Zhao was a good person."
Yin Li asked suspiciously, "How do you want to break it off?"
Zhao Yunxuan smiled and shook his head: "Master only told me to leave the mountain, but didn't tell me how to break off the relationship."
"Ah?" Hu Xin'er looked at her husband.
Mu Qing lowered his eyes slightly, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
She suddenly felt overwhelmed and wanted to hold her husband in her arms to comfort him.
"Princess," Zhao Yunxuan called softly, "I have no intention of interfering with your marriage, but I cannot rest in peace without a marriage. I am being frank with you this time, not because I want to create any rift between you and your husband, but because I hope you will allow me to stay by your side and find a solution to this matter."
Hu Xin'er's head was even bigger. She opened her eyes wide, her pretty face full of confusion and worry. "What? You still want to stay by my side? Why?"
She doesn't know how to solve marriage problems, so what's the point of staying with her?!
Moreover, before Zhao Yunxuan showed up, Mu Qing had already been jealous of the idea of true love. If he continued to stay by her side, wouldn't that just add fuel to the fire?
Mu Qing said coldly, "This is absolutely not possible. Lord Zhao, please respect yourself. If you really want to end your marriage, just return to your mountain and practice asceticism."
Zhao Yunxuan's voice was gentle but firm: "No, my life is closely related to the princess's. If I stay too far away from her, my illness will get worse."
Hu Xiner was full of questions when she heard this.
What? Being too far away will make you sicker? Then how did Zhao Yunxuan survive the past ten or twenty years?
Mu Qing's anger surged. "Master Zhao, you are such a smooth talker, full of nonsense! I don't think you're looking to end any marriage, but to destroy my family!"
Zhao Yunxuan sighed softly, "I know you don't want to believe it, but my health hasn't improved over the years because I'm so far away from the princess. Fate is determined by heaven, and we can't disbelieve it."
The servant serving tea beside him couldn't help but say, "What my young master said is true. He used to cough up blood frequently, and it wasn't until he saw the princess that he started to feel better."
Hu Xiner couldn't help scratching her head. "Well, Mr. Zhao, people shouldn't be too superstitious. Your poor health before might have been due to not eating well while practicing in the mountains..."
She was a little incoherent, but her attitude was very clear, that is, she didn't want Zhao Yunxuan to stay with her at all.
Mu Qing said coldly, "Master Zhao seems to be in very good spirits now."
He felt that Zhao Yunxuan had been planning this for a long time and had come here specifically to snatch his wife away.
Zhao Yunxuan's attitude remained gentle, but due to the cold treatment, a hint of hurt appeared in his eyes. "I didn't believe in fate before, but all the way from the mountains to Qingzhou, I ate and drank the same food as before. It was only after seeing the princess that I felt the depression in my heart finally eased."
That day, he rushed to the Lu family, drove away the soldiers, and fed medicine to the bedridden Hu Xiner.
Although Hu Xin'er looked extremely haggard at that time, there was a mysterious voice in his heart telling him that he had found her.
Although Zhao Yunxuan is weak, he is not a person who likes to make trouble. Since Hu Xin'er has married someone else, he will not have any improper thoughts about her.
"If I weren't truly at my wit's end, I wouldn't have the audacity to make such a request," Zhao Yunxuan said earnestly. "Please forgive me."
"What if I don't forgive you?" Mu Qing raised his eyebrows before he finished speaking.
"If the prince consort is unwilling to forgive me," Zhao Yunxuan's tone was still gentle. He smiled slowly, looking harmless, and even with a bit of compassion.
But what he said made Mu Qing's eyebrows twitch.
He just said softly, "Then I can only ask for your forgiveness, Prince Consort."
The emphasis on the word "please" shows his determination.
Mu Qing smiled instead of getting angry: "Okay, I want to see how Lord Zhao asks me for forgiveness. Xin'er, let's go!"
Hu Xin'er stood up decisively: "Not only will Mu Qing not agree to your request, I won't agree to it either."
