Qiao Ziming turned to look at the newcomer, and the moment his eyes met Shao Hongzhuo's, disgust appeared in them.
Judging from the way the other party addressed him, he was undoubtedly the heir of the Marquis of Anyuan in Huayang City.
"This is Huayang City, the territory of my Qi Kingdom. When did it become the territory of the Marquis of Anyuan's heir? Could it be that the Marquis of Anyuan intends to rebel?!"
Qiao Ziming endured the pain in his abdomen, stood up, and looked up at the Marquis of Anyuan, who was half a head shorter than him, his eyes full of disdain.
Shao Hongzhuo was born and raised in Huayang City. In his fifteen years of life, apart from his father, no one had ever spoken to him like this before.
This arrogant prince, who seems to have appeared out of nowhere, is utterly outrageous!
He was about to lose his temper when he was stopped by a guard standing nearby.
"Your Highness, please do not act rashly. If you do, the other party may take the opportunity to solidify the Marquis's charge of treason."
I've heard that the people in the capital are all cunning and treacherous.
"Swallow your anger for now. As long as they're still in Huayang City, dealing with them won't be difficult!"
Although the guard whispered the words in Shao Hongzhuo's ear, Xie Xuan still heard them.
them?
Does this mean he was included as well?
Therefore, Xie Xuan hurriedly distanced himself from Qiao Ziming.
"Young Master, I have no relation to the Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Anyang, so please don't drag me into this!"
Although Xie Xuan's attitude was good, Shao Hongzhuo still disliked him, simply because Xie Xuan was more handsome than him!
He snorted coldly and looked at Qiao Ziming.
"So you're the heir apparent of the Marquis of Anyang! I've heard of you. I've heard you're a cripple who was completely played by a woman. What? Are you too ashamed to stay in the capital and are planning to come to Huayang City to avoid the limelight?"
He had heard his father mention the Marquis of Anyang.
That scoundrel who betrayed his master for personal gain, his son is sure to be no better!
He abandoned his wife for a wicked woman.
My mother and sister are both insane.
How dare someone like that run wild on his turf? If he doesn't teach Qiao Zimo a lesson, he doesn't deserve to be the tyrant of Huayang City!
Qiao Ziming was surprised that his story had reached Huayang City. His pale face began to turn red.
Just then, Su Muxi came out from the back room.
Upon seeing the tense standoff between Shao Hongzhuo and Qiao Ziming, he paused for a moment before preparing to leave.
She doesn't have the time or inclination to meddle in other people's business!
Especially Qiao Ziming's meddling.
The moment Shao Hongzhuo saw Su Muxi, he froze on the spot, his gaze seemingly glued to her, unable to look away for even a moment.
"Auntie...Miss...May I ask which family you belong to?"
Shao Hongzhuo was a little nervous, and his words stammered.
Su Muxi frowned slightly.
girl?
She was clearly wearing a woman's hairstyle.
"How dare you! This is Princess Yong'an!"
McQueen stepped forward and blocked Shao Hongzhuo from two meters away.
At such a young age, he's already so bad at studying, daring to covet his princess!
Upon hearing this, Shao Hongzhuo was stunned once again.
Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be the legendary Princess Yong'an.
That…
Suddenly, Shao Hongzhuo turned around and glared angrily at Qiao Ziming.
"Did you pester Princess Yong'an to come here?!"
Have you no shame?! You used to think Princess Yong'an was too low-class and ugly, so you insisted on marrying Bai Mengying. Now that you see Princess Yong'an has become beautiful and married well, you're still clinging to her!
As a fellow heir apparent, I feel ashamed for you!
After speaking, he turned to look at Su Muxi, and his once eloquent manner instantly turned into stuttering.
"Your Highness...Princess Consort, don't be afraid...I...I'll protect you!"
Su Muxi recognized the voice; this person must be the heir of the Marquis of Anyuan.
I had heard that the heir of the Marquis of Anyuan was a spoiled brat, but now it seems that he is quite sensible.
And that shy look of his was strangely cute to her.
Seeing Shao Hongzhuo fawning over Su Muxi, Qiao Ziming stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I, the young master, am here on the Emperor's orders, accompanying the Princess of Yong'an to Fukang County to resolve the plague. The young master of Anyuan Marquis is here without even asking the reason..."
"What?! Your Highness, you're going to Fukang County?! It's extremely dangerous there now, you absolutely mustn't go! My father sent people there to investigate a while ago, but there's still no news! They've probably already contracted the plague and died there!"
Shao Hongzhuo interrupted Qiao Ziming before he could finish speaking, and didn't bother to pay attention to Qiao Ziming's attitude. At this moment, all he could think about was worry.
Su Muxi raised an eyebrow, "When did Marquis Anyuan send people to Fukang County?"
Shao Hongzhuo: "It's been more than ten days!"
Ten days or so?
In other words, as soon as news of the plague outbreak in Fukang County was heard, Marquis Anyuan sent people to investigate.
Su Muxi smiled, her fox-like eyes crinkling, and said softly to Shao Hongzhuo, "I wonder if the Marquis is at home? May I pay him a visit?"
"Of course! I'll go find my dad right now!"
After excitedly finishing his speech, Shao Hongzhuo ran out, but immediately ran back, glancing warily at Qiao Ziming before saying to Su Muxi, "Princess Consort, I'll have the servants go find my father. I'd better take you back to the manor first."
Su Muxi chuckled and said, "Alright, then I'll take the trouble to bother you."
After saying that, she didn't forget to call Xie Xuan over as well.
However, he ignored Qiao Ziming who was standing to the side.
"Mu Xi".
Qiao Ziming couldn't help but call out softly, but Su Muxi still didn't look at him.
Seeing that Su Muxi was about to leave with that little brat, Qiao Ziming disregarded everything else and hurriedly asked, "Muxi, what about me?"
Su Muxi paused for a moment, but still did not turn around.
"Whether the young master intends to continue seeking medical treatment or return directly to the inn to rest is up to him, as long as it does not delay his departure early tomorrow morning."
The implication was that she didn't intend to take him to the Marquis of Anyuan's residence.
After everyone left, Qiao Ziming felt both stifled and angry as he looked at the strange looks people were giving him.
Unable to contain his rage, he roared, "Get out! All of you, get out of here!"
Seeing this, the people had no choice but to go out.
The doctors and staff at Huichuntang looked at each other, unsure whether to stay or leave.
Just then, someone Qiao Ziming didn't expect walked in from outside Huichun Hall.
"Uncle Chang?! What brings you here?"
The visitor was none other than Chang Zhong, a trusted confidant of Qiao Xiuyuan.
