Upon hearing this, Zhong Bin and Xiao Ce, who were sitting outside the car, couldn't help but exchange a glance, both of them looking shocked.
Zhong Bin had just turned eighteen this year and was a bit shy. He looked away first, but his ears, which were gradually turning red, betrayed his thoughts.
When Xiao Ce saw that someone was even more embarrassed than him, he instantly felt no longer embarrassed. On the contrary, he felt inexplicably proud and straightened his back.
His master must be extremely strong in every aspect!
The two inside the carriage were unaware of what the two outside were thinking. Su Muxi reached out and tapped Ye Zeyu's hard armor, a look of complaint in her eyes.
Ye Zeyu then realized what was happening and loosened his grip on Su Muxi a little.
"I'm sorry, it was my carelessness. Did I hurt you just now?"
The carriage suddenly stopped, almost causing Su Muxi's forehead to collide directly with Ye Zeyu's chest armor.
Ye Zeyu frowned and asked coldly to the outside, "Xiao Ce, what's going on?!"
Knowing that his master wouldn't mention the Su family, Xiao Ce quickly said, "Master, it was Brother Zhong Bin who drove the carriage!"
As expected, Ye Ziyu didn't say anything more, and the carriage continued its journey towards the Su family.
Su Muxi looked at Ye Zeyu, reached out and removed the mask from Ye Zeyu's face, and discovered that Ye Zeyu had obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Did you not sleep all night?
"But something happened at the military camp?"
Entering the city in armor suggests that things happened quite suddenly.
Ye Zeyu didn't hide anything and told Su Muxi the whole story.
"Thanks to the antidote you prepared for me, otherwise Qiao Xiuyuan might have succeeded."
Su Muxi pondered for a long time before raising her eyes to look at Ye Zeyu.
"Don't you think things are going a little too smoothly? Doesn't Qiao Xiuyuan know that Bai Shuo is stupid? It's not worth it to finally plant someone next to Bai Shuo, only to have them exposed because of this."
Ye Zeyu felt that Su Muxi's words made some sense, and he also felt that the whole thing had gone too smoothly.
He successfully resolved the mutiny and gained military power.
Based on his years of investigation and understanding of Qiao Xiuyuan, it didn't seem like something that old fox Qiao Xiuyuan would do.
Could it be that this wasn't Qiao Xiuyuan's doing, but rather arranged by the Bai family?
But that makes even less sense.
Seeing Su Muxi's solemn expression, Ye Zeyu smiled and said, "Xi'er, don't worry. At worst, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. I'm not alone in the capital, so nothing will happen."
Su Muxi nodded, and was about to speak when Ye Zeyu kissed her lips again.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Zeyu almost bit Su Muxi's lip as he told her about the Wei family's desire for Wei Yichen to marry her.
"Xi'er, you can only be mine."
Hearing similar words from Wei Yichen only annoyed Su Muxi.
Hearing it from Ye Zeyu's mouth made Su Muxi feel sweet inside.
She reached out and hugged Ye Zeyu's neck, returned his kiss, and then whispered, "In my opinion, Prince Yong'an is the most handsome, much better than my scheming cousin."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyu felt inexplicably embarrassed. He had just compared his appearance with others like a woman...
To hide his shyness, Ye Zeyu could only deepen the kiss, gradually releasing the embarrassment in his heart.
Su Muxi felt as if she had only known Ye Zeyu for a few days, yet it also felt as if they had known each other for a long time. She liked everything about Ye Zeyu.
Ye Zeyu felt the same way; he never imagined that one day he would be so infatuated with a woman.
…
Su Xing calculated the time and was just about to go out with Zhong Changqing to pick up Su Muxi at Bibo Lake when he saw that Su Muxi had returned first, and she was with Ye Zeyu, who was wearing a suit of armor.
"What happened?!"
In the study
Su Muxi ignored the earlier mockery she had received and gave a general account of what had happened at the literary gathering.
Su Xing seemed quite surprised when he heard that people from the Wei family had come.
"Father, wasn't it you who wrote the letter to send someone from the Wei family?"
Su Muxi was puzzled.
In her opinion, it must have been her father who wrote a letter to the Wei family that prompted Wei Yichen to come.
But judging from her father's expression now, that's clearly not the case.
Su Xing glanced at Ye Zeyu and said somewhat embarrassedly, "At first, I thought the prince didn't like you and had other motives for marrying you, so I wrote home hoping they could find a way to cancel the marriage."
"But that letter was for the Su family, I didn't write anything to the Wei family."
"After your mother and I left Jinzhou, we lost contact with the Wei family. Although the head of the Wei family is your mother's own brother, he is not good to her. So it's best to be wary of that Wei Yichen."
If a long-lost relative suddenly shows up at your door, it's definitely not a good sign.
Su Xing was aware of this.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zeyu recounted his conversation with the Emperor earlier that day, concluding, "The Wei family has likely already sided with the Second Prince."
Su Xing hesitated, "Could it be the Su family as well?"
The Su family and the Wei family have always been on good terms. If the Wei family has sided with the Second Prince, then the Su family will likely follow suit.
But Ye Ziyu shook his head, "Probably not, otherwise the Su family would definitely send someone over."
After these words were spoken, the study fell silent.
Finally, it was Su Muxi who broke the silence.
"Ye Ziyu, why don't you send some guards to my house? If they encounter someone with power and influence, we can fight them. If they encounter someone like Wei Yichen who appears to be powerless, then we have even less to fear."
Ye Zeyu had actually had this idea for a long time, but he was afraid that the Su family would not agree, so he had been sending people to protect him secretly.
Unexpectedly, Su Xing agreed with these words.
"If Your Highness would be willing to send some guards, that would be even better! Last time Qiao Zixi brought people here, she suffered because she had too few people. If there were guards, they wouldn't have let anyone barge in!"
"I will send someone over shortly."
After Ye Ziyu finished speaking, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why didn't Physician Su consider keeping some guards before?"
Not only were there few guards, but even the servants in the mansion were pitifully few.
I heard that the Su family used to have quite a few servants, but they were all dismissed one by one after Su Muxi was born.
A fleeting awkwardness crossed Su Xing's face before he casually said, "I used to like peace and quiet, but now I realize I was wrong."
On the other side, Qiao Xiuyuan had Chang Zhong take Qiao Zixi back to the courtyard, while he personally applied medicine to Qiao Ziming's back.
"Hmm!"
Qiao Ziming lay on the bed, biting the blanket tightly, refusing to utter a sound.
Qiao Xiuyuan smiled faintly and remained silent, continuing to vigorously rub Qiao Ziming's back with a fine cloth soaked in medicinal powder.
Feeling the pain in his back, Qiao Ziming began to miss Su Muxi.
After comparing the two, he realized how gentle Su Muxi had been to him before…
He also considered Su Muxi as one of his own, and was willing to call out to her in front of her...
