When Su Muxi woke up, it was already noon. After getting up, she saw Bai Zhi's ambiguous smile.
"What are you laughing at! I'll get you and Zhong Bin married another day, and then I'll see how I laugh at you!"
Bai Zhi blushed upon hearing this and whispered, "Your Highness is angry out of embarrassment! But I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of Your Highness laughing at me."
Recently, Bai Zhi and Mai Kun have been getting closer. Although Zhong Bin didn't say anything, Su Muxi could tell that Zhong Bin wanted to let go, so he deliberately distanced himself from Bai Zhi.
Su Muxi said that just now in order to probe Bai Zhi's attitude towards Zhong Bin.
Although McQueen is better than Chung Bin in terms of physique and appearance, judging from Bai Zhi's words, she still likes Chung Bin.
With that, she could finally relax.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to comfort Zhong Bin.
"You've got a thick skin, but poor Zhong Bin is secretly heartbroken, thinking his wife is going to run off with someone else. He hasn't seen a smile on her face for days!"
Bai Zhi blushed upon hearing this, then stomped her foot angrily, "I already told him that there's nothing between Mai Kun and me, why did he still come to the Princess to complain! No wonder he's been avoiding me these past few days! He's still stuck in his own little rut! Just wait and see how I deal with him later!"
Su Muxi hurriedly explained for Zhong Bin, "Zhong Bin didn't come to me to complain. It's just that the things between you two are too obvious. It would be hard for me not to know."
Bai Zhi pouted slightly, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who's fickle?"
Su Muxi walked up to Bai Zhi, took Bai Zhi's hand and patted it gently, saying softly, "Of course we believe you, but when it comes to someone you like, you should still give them a sense of security."
You joke and laugh with McQueen all day long, and Zhong Bin has seen it all. If you were Zhong Bin, what would you think?
McQueen is tall and handsome. If it weren't for you, Zhong Bin might not have thought anything of it. But seeing how close you are to McQueen, Zhong Bin inevitably feels inferior and thinks that McQueen is a better match for you.
That's why he distanced himself from you, hoping that someone better would be by your side.
The reason he thinks this way is simply because he cares about you too much and likes you too much!
If you also have feelings for Zhong Bin, you might as well tell him what's on your mind.
To avoid misunderstandings and damage to each other's relationship.
Ye Zeyu did a good job in this regard, giving her a sense of security from the very beginning.
This made her feel very happy.
Bai Zhi and Zhong Bin are like family to her, and she hopes that they can find happiness.
Unexpectedly, after all her earnest advice, Bai Zhi once again revealed a smile full of ambiguity.
"It's clear that the Prince and Princess have a very good relationship!"
Following Bai Zhi's gaze, Su Muxi realized that her body was covered in marks left by Ye Zeyu...
Meanwhile, after the morning court session, Ye Ziyu was summoned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation by Ye Jingchun.
"Do you have any complaints about my decree?"
"Your subject dares not."
"Hmph! That's right, you don't dare, but you resent me in your heart, don't you?!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyu knelt on one knee. "Father, please calm your anger. Although I am unwilling to be separated from my wife, I have never complained about you!"
Seeing Ye Zeyu's attitude, Ye Jingchun's anger gradually dissipated.
After letting out a heavy sigh, he said in a deep voice, "Although the Celestial Immortal Sect is not yet a force to be reckoned with, it will surely become a great threat in time. At present, I have no one I can trust. The only person I can trust is you."
As for the plague in Jinzhou, I would not have sent a woman named Su Muxi there if there hadn't been a real reason.
"I had no choice but to issue this decree."
Ye Ziyu sneered inwardly, but did not expose Ye Jingchun's lie.
Just then, Murong Qing walked over carrying a food box.
"Your Majesty, have I interrupted your serious discussion with Prince Yong'an?"
Although Murong Qing was confined to the palace by Ye Jingchun last time, Ye Jingchun was so captivated by her charm that she was released not long afterward.
In front of Ye Zeyu, Ye Jingchun took Murong Qing's hand and looked at Ye Zeyu coldly.
Ye Zeyu kept his eyes straight ahead, not looking at Murong Qing, but only glancing indifferently at the food box.
He then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave now."
Ye Jingchun gave a soft "hmm" and then said, "Alright, go back to your residence and pack your things. You can set off early tomorrow morning."
"Zheng Yi will accompany you. Remember to protect Zheng Yi's safety. Zheng Lin is a loyal minister of Qi, and I do not want anything to happen to his son on this trip."
"Your Majesty, I will remember your instructions and will protect Young Master Zheng. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
…
After Ye Zeyu left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he went to the Empress Dowager's palace. Besides saying goodbye, he mainly wanted to tell the Empress Dowager about Su Muxi's pregnancy.
Su Muxi is traveling to Jinzhou with Qiao Ziming. No one knows what will happen along the way, and all he can do is send as many people as possible to protect Su Muxi.
But public opinion is a fearsome thing.
If anyone were to link Su Muxi's pregnancy to Qiao Ziming, it would be something Ye Zeyu neither wanted to think about nor wanted to see.
When the Empress Dowager heard that Su Muxi was pregnant, she couldn't stop smiling.
After laughing, she pretended to complain, "And you, why did it take you so long to tell me that Xi'er is pregnant?!"
Ye Zeyu hurriedly explained, "Grandmother, Xi'er only found out she was pregnant yesterday. After receiving the news, I rushed back. Unfortunately, it was already late when I returned yesterday, and the palace gates were locked. Otherwise, I would have come to tell you the good news last night!"
The Empress Dowager believed Ye Zeyu's reason. After all, Su Muxi and Ye Zeyu had only been married for a little over a month, so it was normal for her to discover she was pregnant so soon.
But then she remembered that Su Muxi was going to Jinzhou.
"No! Since Xi'er is pregnant, she cannot go to Jinzhou! I will go and speak with the Emperor to have him withdraw the imperial decree!"
After saying that, she was about to get up to find Ye Jingchun, but Ye Zeyu hurriedly helped her up.
"Grandmother, how can an imperial edict be withdrawn so easily? We should not put Father in a difficult position. Besides, Xi'er is kind-hearted. After learning about the plague in Fukang County, she also wanted to do something for the people there and contribute her share."
"Grandson thinks it best to let Xi'er go to Jinzhou this time. If Xi'er can truly resolve the plague there, it will be a good deed for the child in her womb."
But the Empress Dowager disapproved, "Nonsense! There's a plague in Jinzhou! What if something happens to Xi'er there? Xi'er is carrying your child now, how can you be so indifferent?!"
Before, you seemed to care deeply about Xi'er, but at this crucial moment, you let her go to a place like that! It's only because Xi'er is soft-hearted; otherwise, if it were me, I would definitely have resented you!
