This trip to meet the parents was a complete success!
I never expected that Duan Ximu, the master who has protected His Highness for so many years, would have such a temperament.
Like a mischievous old man, he loves watching the excitement and stirring up trouble.
They are quite cute, actually.
Tianyun secretly grumbled to himself, but he could only think it in his heart and couldn't let this jealous man know.
If he finds out that I praised another man, it will probably cause another bloodbath.
"Making fun of me in your mind?"
Xiao Ziwu raised his fingertips and brushed aside the branches blocking his view.
The two red plum trees in the courtyard are in full bloom. White snowflakes fall on the clusters of red plum blossoms, creating a beautiful contrast of red and white.
"I didn't." Tianyun's pupils dilated guiltily.
Is Your Highness a tapeworm in her stomach?
She quickly changed the subject: "In that case, Your Highness will have no maids to serve you." The only two, Xi Feng and Yu Niao, had both been driven out of the mansion by him.
Xiao Ziwu put his arm around her slender waist, his expression nonchalant: "I didn't have any in the palace either, and I'm still doing just fine, aren't I?"
That's true...
Lin Hua Palace was frequently attended to by two men, and even the mosquitoes were male.
In Xiao Ziyan's Yuqing Palace, there are still two maids who have had their faces painted, but Xiao Ziwu is truly chaste and never touches women.
Tianyun smiled contentedly and gave him a kiss on the cheek as a reward.
Suddenly, she raised her delicate eyebrows and stared at him, her voice harsh: "Which bed did Yu Niao climb into? I'll get rid of the smell!"
The woman's self-perceived fierce demeanor, like a cornered wildcat finally baring its claws, was truly adorable!
Xiao Ziwu smiled and chuckled, "The Mustard Seed Garden is a study."
On the soft couch in the Mustard Seed Garden.
Before an incense stick's time had passed, soft breathing could be heard from the bed. The woman's mouth was slightly open, and she was sleeping very soundly.
The man tucked the thick, soft animal hair blanket tightly around his body.
The fireplace beside the couch was warm and cozy, filling the room with the delicate fragrance emanating from the woman.
They really came to get rid of the smell.
The man's gaze softened, and after a long while, he brushed the hair from the woman's forehead, closed his eyes, and gently kissed her smooth forehead before getting up and leaving.
※※※※
Duan Ximu, with his hands behind his back, said, "Your Highness, the Second Prince has succeeded. His left shoulder was cut half a finger deep. Our men did not leave any flaws and have now all withdrawn from Mo Nan."
Xiao Ziyan never imagined that his third brother, whom he had once trampled underfoot and dared not disobey in the slightest, would now dare to send assassins to kill him!
Xiao Ziwu, whom he had never taken seriously, was now powerful enough to escape his control.
The Lin Hua Palace, which he once had complete control over, is now as impenetrable as an iron barrel, and the secret guards he sent to monitor it have all disappeared without a trace, not even their bodies can be found!
Xiao Ziwu stood with his sword in his arms, looking languid as he leaned against a pillar. His dark brocade robe made him appear like a god.
"Um."
This result was expected. His expression remained unchanged, and he simply said in a calm voice, "Bring that female assassin here. I have some questions for her."
Duan Ximu chuckled mischievously, raised his index finger and waved it in front of his eyes, saying with a teasing expression, "While Tianyun is taking a nap, Your Highness secretly meets with another woman. When she wakes up, I will definitely tell her!"
He had a look on his face that said, "I've finally caught you!"
Xiao Ziwu: "..."
Master, could you please be a little less dramatic?
He said helplessly, "It's a serious matter, stop being so frivolous!"
The person hidden in the shadows twitched their ear tips slightly.
A few breaths later, Shi Que was grabbed by the back of her neck and brought before Xiao Ziwu.
Suddenly being lifted up and flown away, Shi Que was so frightened by the shadow that her face turned pale and then red. She tried to fight back but was suppressed by a domineering aura.
She thought it was that beast surnamed Liao who had found her and sent people to arrest her!
Looking up, Xiao Ziwu's handsome face appeared before him, expressionless.
She breathed a huge sigh of relief, thinking she was going to die soon.
Shi Que asked with lingering fear, "Young Master, you could have just summoned me if you needed to, it's rather frightening to suddenly drag me here like this."
I was just about to carry the two wooden buckets of clothes upstairs to dry them.
Xiao Ziwu: "I asked you to come here to confirm something."
Shi Que wiped the water stains from the hem of her clothes: "Young master, ask away, I'll tell you everything."
His eyes were deep and his tone was completely flat. "Your sister, was she killed by Liao Ming?"
Duan Ximu, who was standing beside him, watched, crossed his arms, clicked his tongue, and decisively shook his head.
I thought he'd figured out how to win a girl's heart, but it turns out he only makes an exception for Yun. He's still just as blunt with everyone else, doesn't he know how to be tactful when he's reopening old wounds?
Even a gentler tone would be fine!
Didn't you see that the girl's eyes were visibly red?
Shi Que raised her head, holding back her tears, "Young Master is indeed of noble status; he was even able to uncover such a secret..."
The answer is already clear from her words.
Xiao Ziwu didn't mince words. He straightened up, gripping his sword, and said, "I can help you take revenge."
To state one's purpose directly.
"You should know that if you were to seek revenge on your own, you might not be able to do so even by the time Liao Ming is buried."
The young master's blunt words were like a sharp sword piercing Shi Que's heart, causing fresh blood to drip from the wound.
It may sound harsh, but it's the truth.
Since she assassinated him, Liao Ming has had more than twice as many guards, making it even more difficult for her to get close to him.
She laughed dejectedly, "What does young master want? My worthless life has nothing to offer you in exchange."
Xiao Ziwu's usually cold face softened with a rare gentleness, which stunned Shi Que. Then he said, "Master martial arts, and you'll find your place in the future. You don't need to worry about Liao Ming's matter; his death is near."
Duan Ximu clicked his tongue in amazement, silently rubbing his nose, already guessing his intention.
He wanted to put Shi Que next to Yun Yatou for protection, right?
Despite being surrounded by many skilled individuals, he rejected them all simply because he was a man.
Since Shi Que was a girl with exceptional talent and had praised his own tenacious perseverance in martial arts, he decided to place her by Yun Yatou's side for close protection.
For this reason, he even stopped Liao Ming from doing this mess!
They really went to great lengths.
Shi Que was so excited that he cupped his hands in thanks: "Yes! Thank you, young master!"
Practicing martial arts was something she was interested in, so these conditions were really a great privilege for her.
Xiao Ziwu then turned to Duan Ximu and said, "If Master has some free time, I'll have to trouble you to put in some effort."
Guai Bao cannot be without someone skilled in martial arts by her side. Lin Ruhong will probably figure out the clues soon. The drug she was given was the same one that Guai Bao was given before.
Originally, I only wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine and make her experience the pain she was in!
Looking back now, he was blinded by anger and didn't think things through properly.
The fact that they were all under the same drug was the biggest hidden danger in this kidnapping incident, and Lin Ruhong would discover this clue sooner or later.
Fearing that she might realize this and cause harm to the baby, we had to expedite the process.
The implication was that he should teach Shi Que more. Duan Ximu glanced at him sideways, having already agreed in his heart, but still stating his condition: "A jar of Spring Breeze Avoidance."
"make a deal."
