Chapter 442 Deliberately Scare You
Gu Xixi looked at Mu Nanzhao with a smile in her eyes, which was a bit domineering and a bit playful.
“Your Majesty…”
"Are you acting like a spoiled child to me?"
She seldom shows this charming and lovely look.
Mu Nanzhao's heart was moved when he saw it, and he couldn't help but lower his head to peck at those cherry lips.
However, before their lips touched, Gu Xixi suddenly pushed him away with force.
She put on a serious face and said, "Come with me, we have to talk about this matter!"
Mu Nanzhao was stunned.
He was fine a moment ago, why is he angry again?
He was confused and followed Gu Xixi into the house in a panic.
Gu Xixi sat down at the table and motioned Mu Nanzhao to sit opposite her.
Her expression was indifferent, and her attitude was even quite cold. "Now that we've come to this point, just confess."
It was always Mu Nanzhao who interrogated others, but now the situation was suddenly reversed.
Mu Nanzhao was still a little slow to react, "Ah?"
Gu Xixi raised her eyes and looked at him, with no good expression on her face, "What did you just say was what happened?"
"It really happened, didn't it?"
"Princess Beili wants to marry a foreign princess, and she chose you as her consort, right?"
"What exactly is going on? How did you get to know Princess Beili? What did you do to her? What happened between you that made such a noble princess insist on marrying you?"
Gu Xixi answered this series of questions in one breath.
When Mu Nanzhao heard this, he felt like he was suffocating.
What Huo Jiang often said came to his mind: "The issue of my wife's death."
Huo Jiang also said: "When you encounter such a moment, you must answer carefully, otherwise your life will be in danger."
It was not until Gu Xixi stopped that Mu Nanzhao was able to take a deep breath.
He seemed to have never been so nervous and guilty in his life.
Seeing that Mu Nanzhao was silent, Gu Xixi raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Why, you have done so many things without telling me, and now you can't tell me?"
Mu Nanzhao was shocked.
But he suddenly changed his mind and realized that he had clearly not hidden anything from Gu Xixi, nor had he done anything that was unspeakable.
yes.
What is he guilty of? Why is he afraid?
Mu Nanzhao calmed himself down and quickly organized an answer in his mind.
"The Beili people are looking for Huo Jiang, hoping that he will submit a petition to the court to ask for a marriage alliance."
"This matter still needs your Majesty's approval, and nothing has been decided yet."
"As for Princess Beili, I happened to meet her in Huo Jiang's tent. We only lasted for two cups of tea. I didn't even have a private conversation with her, and I never saw her again after that."
Mu Nanzhao's expression was as solemn as a believer in worship.
Gu Xixi still looked at him calmly, "Oh, really?"
"Then why did she like you? How do you know she chose you as her husband?"
Mu Nanzhao said righteously, "Why should I consider what she thinks? Anyway, I don't like her."
"As for when she chose me, she mentioned it to Huo Jiang before she left. I was not there at all. If I had been there, I would have rejected her directly."
"Is that so..." Gu Xixi suddenly realized, "Since she liked you, why didn't she ask you to meet her alone?"
Mu Nanzhao's face was a little tense, "I did make an appointment."
"She sent someone to send a message to Huo Jiang, asking me to send her off, but I said no."
Gu Xixi asked with a smile and a kind tone, "Isn't the princess beautiful?"
"The princess who is chosen for marriage must be very impressive in both appearance and talent."
Mu Nanzhao recalled Huo Jiang's earnest sharing of experiences in the past, and alarm bells began to ring in his head.
Although he had never learned how to coax a woman, his desire to survive pushed his wisdom to the maximum.
"I already said we only met for a short time, I didn't even get to see what she looked like!"
But the issue of death is not over yet.
Gu Xixi propped her chin up with her hand: "She must be from a noble family, and her family must be very wealthy."
Mu Nanzhao: "Noble?"
"Originally, marrying a foreigner and bearing the title of a consort are both difficult tasks that everyone avoids."
"Besides, what good is she doing as a princess thrown out by her family as a hostage?"
"Does she have the freedom and autonomy that my boss has? Or is she richer than my boss?"
…
Gu Xixi suddenly asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Mu Nanzhao was stunned, but saw Gu Xixi smiling brightly, with a hint of cunning.
He suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing, "You!"
"Did you do this on purpose?"
Gu Xixi leaned over the table and laughed, "I heard that when people are extremely nervous, they can forget about their bad mood if they think about how to deal with it next."
Mu Nanzhao relaxed and sighed amusedly, "I do feel less annoyed now."
"But I was scared enough by you!"
The next day, the dependents' village celebrated the harvest.
When Gu Xixi asked him if he wanted to go with her, Mu Nanzhao smiled bitterly and refused:
"It's not the day for the soldiers to go home to visit their families yet. The whole village is filled with women and children. Why should I join in the fun?"
However, Mu Nanzhao was not going to the military camp this morning, so Gu Xixi let him stay at home.
"There's nothing to do, so you can just take a leisurely rest by yourself."
"You don't have to worry about what to eat at noon. I'll ask the two children to bring you food."
"After all, you have been a teacher for so long. Even if you don't want to see outsiders, you will always feel more comfortable in front of children."
Mu Nanzhao bowed solemnly, "The boss is very considerate."
In fact, Mu Nanzhao felt quite comfortable here, and no one treated him like a high-ranking official and looked up to him.
Everyone knows that General Huo is the most powerful general in the Northwest.
The family members were used to Huo Jiang's approachable and unpretentious demeanor.
They didn't have much sense of reality for the regent who came all the way from the capital.
No one really cares how high of an official position he is.
All we know is that he came to the border military camp on official business. As for the village, his only identity is "Boss Gu's man."
A jar of brewed tea and a bowl of rock sugar, lily and mung bean soup.
Gu Xixi left these to Mu Nanzhao and went out with Lu Jing.
Aunt Lin's family had already prepared a grand banquet.
The women and children all worked together, talking and laughing, it was very lively and bustling.
Gu Xixi has basically completed everything on this trip.
Just wait for someone from the army to come in the afternoon to discuss and hand over the next season's planting plan to her.
So after lunch, Gu Xixi said goodbye to everyone in advance.
"I will be leaving early tomorrow morning, so I won't say goodbye to everyone."
"The medicines we brought this time are all kept here by Aunt Lin. If you need anything else, just let me know."
"I'll go back and tell Master that if it's suitable for making into medicine, I'll bring it with me next time."
Everyone felt a little embarrassed.
"The military doctor came to make his rounds before. He looked at the pills sent by Boss Gu and praised them repeatedly, asking which miracle doctor had created them."
"And they said some of the herbs are not cheap."
"Boss Gu has given us free gifts several times, how can we still have the nerve to continue to make demands!"
In fact, everyone had already discussed it and decided to let Aunt Lin speak on behalf of everyone.
Aunt Lin said to Gu Xixi, "We want to ask Boss Gu's master for medical advice."
