Baili Chengyou rubbed his right arm, feeling that there must be another tooth mark left on it.

He discovered that Meng Guxue really liked to act coquettishly!

Biting him like this without any itchiness or pain, what else could that be but being a spoiled child?

Meng Guxue turned her head away, already grinning.

Damn, this Baili Chengyou is made of steel! His arms are so hard!

“Ahem.”

Baili Chengyou's ears suddenly turned red and he began to explain to Meng Guxue.

"King Jin Yu is not stupid. He sent Che Hebi twice as an envoy to other countries, which shows that he trusts Che Hebi very much."

"As far as I know, Che Hebi is also an old minister in the Northern Kingdom, and is known for his loyalty and righteousness."

"Prince Jin Yu has never had a son, and there is no one to take over the throne. This is also the root cause of the unrest in the Northern Kingdom's royal family."

"I guess in the past ten years or so, Prince Jin Yu has tried everything to have a child."

"Although Shen Yuanbai is about to return to the country, he is the bloodline of the princess who married abroad. If there is even the slightest possibility, how could Master Che not hope that King Jin Yu could have his own eldest son?"

"As long as there is hope, Grand Master Che will definitely give it a try. After all, Nanli's medicinal Gu is well-known."

"Ex-Madam...isn't it the same?"

"Sometimes, if you want too much but can't get it, it will turn into obsession. I heard from my mother that the former lady prayed to the gods, tried all kinds of folk remedies, and even used Gu. That was the case."

Speaking of the ex-wife whom he had never met, Meng Guxue regained his composure and sighed secretly.

At this time, Baili Chengyou turned his head, frowned slightly and said curiously: "But this plan... I do have a question."

When Meng Guxue heard that Baili Chengyou also had something he hadn't figured out, she immediately said excitedly, "Tell me quickly and I'll give you an answer!"

Baili Chengyou looked inquiringly, "This plan is indeed brilliant. At that time, Shen Yuanbai went to the Northern Kingdom Court. Once King Jin Yu had a successor, his situation would become even more awkward."

"But you also heard that there is a prerequisite here, that King Jin Yu has a successor."

"Qiao Tianjing made this plan. How can he be sure that Prince Jin Yu will have a successor? Could it be that his Qiao family really has such a magical medicine in their hands?"

Meng Guxue: “…”

She was sweating profusely, and she really couldn't answer this question.

She couldn't tell Baili Chengyou that her cute little sister had a huge golden finger, right?

"Ahem, I haven't thought about this question. Why don't you go ask Brother Qiao directly later?"

I'm sorry, Brother Qiao, you have to take this ball yourself...

"Why are you feeling guilty? Are you hiding something from me?"

"I heard everything about what happened in the other courtyard that night from A'er. I clearly didn't put soft armor on you that night, so how did you take Shen Yuanbai's blow and still be unscathed?"

"I heard that you hugged Miss Qiao and cried loudly? You and the Qiao family have a secret together, and you don't plan to tell me, huh?"

"I am your husband, and I am the one who will be with you for the rest of your life."

Baili Chengyou suddenly leaned forward, his tall body exerting a strong pressure, forcing Meng Guxue, who was trembling with guilt, into the corner of the carriage.

There was no sign of anger on Baili Chengyou's face. He tilted his head with a slight smile on his face. The two of them were so close at this moment that they could hear each other's breathing.

Meng Guxue's chest rose and fell violently. She didn't know if she was frightened. Her face flushed red. She held Baili Chengyou's shoulders tightly with both hands and stammered:

"You, you, you... don't come any closer, I'm not even an adult yet, you can't be a beast!"

When Baili Chengyou heard this, his brows suddenly relaxed and he laughed softly.

"What do you think I'm going to do?"

"You, you, you...you're almost kissing me!"

Meng Guxue turned her head away, speaking in panic.

Baili Chengyou's eyes fell on her profile. She was indeed... still young.

He tried to hold back the corners of his mouth, but failed. Just as he was about to make a joke, A'er's extremely embarrassed voice came from outside the car.

"Ahem, Your Highness, Princess, we have watched enough of the excitement here. Once everyone leaves, our carriage will be more conspicuous."

"How about you two..."

Flirting in a different place?

"Let's go! Ah Ya, let's go now! Baili, get off me now!"

A-Rye: “…”

What did he hear...

No, he heard nothing.

No, when did Your Highness become so unstable?

The carriage started again. Baili Chengyou was already sitting upright beside him. Meng Guxue was huddled in the corner, her face red and her heart beating fast!

Oh my god, this is exciting!

When they arrived at the envoy's villa, the carriage drove directly into the yard, and Qiao Tianjing came out holding Qiao Jiaojiao to greet them.

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard that Meng Guxue was coming, she was so happy that she came forward and lifted the curtain of the car.

"Sister Meng——"

Qiao Jiaojiao: (⊙﹏⊙?)

Oh my god, I was shocked! There was a big man inside!

"Ah, it's Sister Meng's husband!"

Baili Chengyou saw a little face coming closer, and before he had time to adjust his expression, the second half of the sentence went straight into his heart.

Look, how well the Qiao family taught their daughter!

“Jiaojiao!”

Meng Guxue hurriedly avoided Baili Chengyou and walked out. When Qiao Tianjing heard that Baili Chengyou had also come, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Baili Chengyou...came earlier than he expected.

Meng Guxue picked up Jiaojiao and walked inside without stopping.

Jiaojiao looked at Meng Guxue's flushed face, and suddenly a hint of mockery appeared in her eyes.

(??? ?)

"Oh, Sister Meng, you look suspicious~~"

Meng Guxue hurriedly covered Jiaojiao's mouth when she heard this, "Please forgive me, you little mouth!"

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Meng Guxue, and then at Baili Chengyou who was standing side by side with her brother in the distance. She was already going crazy in her heart.

[Aaaah! Does this count as marriage first, love later? It’s over. Just from my imagination, it’s already so sweet. Add in the sense of fate that the second male lead gets promoted, and it’s absolutely amazing! ]

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone finally gathered in the hall and started discussing business.

At this time, Baili Chengyou said in a deep voice: "Master Qiao, let's talk about the Soul-Snatching God Gu and Yu Liu."

"I have never concealed the secrets of the Nanli royal family from you. I have also sorted out many of the inside stories. Since we want to be open and honest, could you please tell me the inside story of Shen Yuanbai's defeat and escape from Nanli?"

"In this way, Yu Liu's plan may be fully revealed."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo nodded solemnly. He had anticipated these situations before setting out, and had also obtained the emperor's consent long ago. After all, they came to Nanli Kingdom to make friends.

Qiao Zhongguo spoke in a low voice and told all the inside stories, even some of the guesses that Qiao Tianjing had drawn from Aunt Rou's confession.

Baili Chengyou's brows relaxed when he heard this. In fact, he had already guessed the truth behind it. He asked this question because what he really wanted to know was the attitude of Qiao Zhongguo and Shen Yuanzhan behind him.

When Qiao Zhongguo finished speaking, Baili Chengyou felt Qiao Zhongguo's sincerity and he made up his mind.

He raised his hand and patted the long brocade box beside him, and said in a calm tone: "Master Qiao, what a coincidence, my father... also received Yu Liu's portrait and secret letter."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall stood up in shock!
