The new Princess Kang was always good at commanding and dispatching things, and with the help of a steward who came with her as a dowry, in less than half an hour, the bridal chamber, which had been decorated with festive cheer, was tidied up after a round of "big commotion", and finally had some peace and quiet.
Aunt Lan led several maids out and even closed the door of the outer hall carefully.
At this time, Mu Kaiwei had also changed out of her bright red wedding dress and removed the pearl crown from her head...
Next to the bedroom was a bathroom for washing, which was always equipped with clean hot water. She didn't ask anyone to serve her and washed in the bathroom. When she put on her simple and comfortable home clothes and returned to the room, Fu Jinxi was still sitting on the couch, having taken off her bright red brocade robe.
"Your Highness was coughing just now. Now that you've washed and taken off your outer clothes, why don't you lie down in bed?" She had been rubbing his back to help him breathe. Fortunately, he didn't cough for too long. Otherwise, she wanted to ask the housekeeper to go directly to the banquet hall to call for help. Today is Prince Kang's wedding, and there is more than one imperial physician coming from the Imperial Hospital.
She grabbed her slightly damp hair and casually tied it up, then walked over to the couch. "If you're tired, take a nap. I'll send dinner over later, and then I'll wake you up for dinner."
Her tone was calm, with a faint smile on her face, as if she was talking to a friend, rather than facing the man who would become her husband today.
But someone simply couldn't remain calm. Even though he appeared to be calm on the outside, his heart was in turmoil.
Thinking about it carefully, ever since she took off the red veil and faced those royal ladies who bullied Fu Jinxi for being weak and soft, his princess was no longer afraid. Not only was she not afraid, she couldn't bear to avoid them. The fifth prince, Prince Li, who drunkenly broke into the bridal chamber, just gave her a good opportunity to attack, and she acted directly, using the method of the "Six Gates". Even though she had resigned the position of the head of the wing, she was still domineering and powerful.
It turns out this is what it feels like to be supported and protected by the one you love. I feel warm in my chest and I am so happy that I want to scratch my ears and cheeks.
"This prince...I have something to say to you, Princess." Fu Jinxi moved to the side to make room.
Mu Kaiwei sat down straightforwardly and said, "Okay."
She grabbed the quilt and spread it out to wrap the man up, leaving only his head exposed. "Well, that's much better. Your Highness, please tell me."
Fu Jin's heartbeat quickened, and he swallowed secretly before he could speak.
"Thank you very much... Um... I just wanted to say that regarding our arranged marriage, I didn't expect Old Master Mu to come to the palace specifically to respond and write a letter of thanks."
The "Old Master Mu" in his words naturally refers to Elder Mu Zhengyang. "Old Master Mu went to the palace to see the emperor, and the decree came down that same day. Since then, things have been rushing on... But I promised you that I would resolve this matter, but in the end, you were forced to marry... It's my fault."
He was not kind enough to give her the medicine and let her fall into a coma.
Knowing very well what the Kangwang Mansion was like in the eyes of Emperor Xingyu, he pretended to be ignorant and weak, and lived his life on thin ice, but he was reluctant to give up when he should. After paying attention to a girl for so many years and discovering that there was a possibility of having her, he ignored everything and was eager to hold her tightly.
Now that they are married, with her sharpness and intelligence, he cannot hide his true identity from her for long, and sooner or later she will reveal everything.
How will she view him after she finds out about his affairs?
Well, so, he is really a bad person.
"I'm the one who's in trouble." Mu Kaiwei said suddenly. Seeing the phoenix eyes that seemed to be shining with water glancing at her, she couldn't help but scratch her face with her fingers.
"I have a bad temper and I'm prone to fighting. Your Highness is a man of good character and generosity, and he might often suffer injustices in my hands... Ah! Your Highness, don't be nervous and stare, I won't hit you. What I mean is, um..." She frowned in distress and thought for a while.
"Just like today's 'bridal chamber disturbance' incident, a good-tempered person would naturally tolerate it, but I'm used to being a tough guy, and ended up causing such a scene. Now, His Majesty will be gossiped about by the royal family again..."
Fu Jinxi really wanted to rush over and hug his little bride.
Without the black brocade uniform, she looked even smaller, especially when she spoke with restrained aura and expressive voice, she looked even more childish and adorable no matter how you looked at her.
He felt so itchy that he couldn't bear it any longer...but he still had to endure it!
Desperately suppressing his desire to hug her, he quietly stretched out a hand from under the quilt, pretending to take it for granted and naturally hold the hand that was resting on her thigh.
"Then let them talk. This king... This king likes you to fight when you are not happy. That's fine. This king's princess is the 'Jade Rakshasa' of the Imperial Capital. She should be bold and domineering. I won't feel wronged no matter who you beat."
When Mu Kaiwei heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile.
My hand was held and I felt that his fingers were a little cold. His hand was obviously wrapped in a warm blanket, but it still wasn't warm. How weak was his foundation?
She thought to herself, and her heart twitched. She couldn't help but wrap her hands around his hands with light blue veins and gently rub the five slender and bloodless fingers.
As the saying goes, the heart is connected to the ten fingers. When being grabbed and rubbed like this, Fu Jinxi's ten toes in the socks secretly curled up, and the ribs in her left chest were aching. She also felt... felt that a sigh that was almost like lust was about to escape from her throat.
He clenched his teeth, tears welled up in his eyes, and he quickly lowered his head and buried half of his face in the quilt.
After secretly regulating his breathing for a while, his low voice came out through the quilt -
"King Li just rushed in. Things happened so quickly. How did you produce the sword in your hand?" He was sitting on the couch without moving. He only saw her touch her waist and rush out with weapons in hand.
Mu Kai smiled slightly and glanced at the bright red wedding dress and pearl crown placed on the low cabinet. "The wedding dress is so complicated, with one layer upon another. I thought I would tie the sword around my waist, but no one noticed it." At the end, his expression seemed quite proud.
Carry a knife into the bridal sedan, carry a knife when worshipping in the wedding hall, and carry a knife into the bridal chamber.
Looking at all the women in China, there is a 99% chance that his princess would do the same.
Fu Jinxi couldn't help but laugh inwardly, his phoenix eyes fixed on her honey-colored cheeks in fascination, when he suddenly heard her whisper -
"Well... I mean, if the eldest brother could have come back to escort me to the wedding, he would have carried me to the bridal sedan and people would have noticed. But he has a lot of important matters to attend to in the west, and the wedding is scheduled so soon, so he's really too busy to be there..." She paused, straightened her shoulders, and then pulled herself together. "But fortunately, I still have a group of brothers from the Six Gates to support me. Bi Tou, Brother Jing, Tie Dan, and Er Ma have called a group of people to accompany the bride, so it will be quite lively."
Fu Jin's beautiful eyes suddenly shrank, and her back trembled slightly.
The wife he had just gotten with a "selfish" mindset had an unusual expression when she mentioned her eldest brother. At first glance, she seemed a little melancholy, but upon closer inspection, she was melancholy but also had deep thoughts.
Finally, half of his handsome face left the quilt, and he asked casually, "Your senior brother Meng Yunzheng is the current 'World's Greatest Constable.' The Celestial Empire and neighboring nations, tribes, and regions all recognize the black iron token in his hand and allow him to do as he pleases. It's said that Lord Meng once single-handedly wiped out a bandit group of over 500 men. He also chased a criminal who had crossed the border to poison officials from various countries for thousands of miles, ultimately bringing him to justice on the spot... Your senior brother is a very powerful figure."
The delicate face suddenly turned towards him, and Mu Kaiwei nodded vigorously, "Yeah, yeah, my senior brother is really amazing! Even my father said that he is even better than his master. He also said that if I were his age, I wouldn't be able to match his martial arts skills. Aside from my father, my senior brother is the best martial artist I've ever met... Ugh!"
Listening to his princess praising her eldest brother like a flower, Fu Jinxi was secretly chewing on the unpleasant taste of the mouth. Suddenly, he saw her expression slightly different and couldn't help asking, "Why? What are you thinking about?"
Mu Kai smiled slightly and shook his head. "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that I had a fight with a man in black wearing a thin leather mask some time ago. That man's kung fu was also very powerful."
He felt as if he were instantly filled with air, and he struggled to suppress the urge of his lips to curl upwards. "Ahem... is that so?"
"Yeah, but compared to him, my senior brother is still the best."
Fu Jinxi didn't realize that he loved to compare so much. In his princess's heart, whether it was him, the King Kang, or that "Master Black San", it was obvious that neither of them could compare to that wise and powerful detective, right?
It was so depressing that he didn't even have the chance to challenge Meng Yunzheng to a duel.
Here, Mu Kaiwei watched the handsome, sickly pale face half-buried in the quilt once more. He lowered his eyes, the light beneath them seemingly shredded. By the time she realized what was happening, one of her hands had already covered his head, gently patting it twice as if stroking his hair. Thus, a certain prince, who had been on the verge of death, had been "saved" from death.
Mu Kaiwei was also a little surprised by his sudden action of "stroking the head" and "patting the head". It seemed too rude to do so, but at that moment, he suddenly showed a dejected look, which inexplicably touched people's hearts.
She was about to withdraw her hand, but he rubbed his noble head under her palm and finally turned to her.
"In my eyes, the princess is the most powerful one." His voice was a little hoarse.
"…Why do you say that?"
The man didn't smile, but winked at her, and his five fingers, which had finally become warm from being rubbed by her, held her five fingers with a little force.
Mu Kaiwei's heart was shocked, and a sentence suddenly emerged in his mind -
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
She stared at him, and her ears suddenly felt a little hot, but after a moment of silence, she felt a little amused.
If she and Prince Kang were considered "lovers", then it was the love of "affection" and "loyalty of husband and wife" between men and women... Well, she didn't have that at the moment, so she would just let things take their course in the future.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Highness." With a smile, their eyes met. She held his hand with her backhand and said solemnly as if making a promise, "Since Your Highness does not despise me and even values me so much, we will work together from now on and make a living together. If others bully you, it is the same as bullying me. If others humiliate you, it is the same as humiliating me. I will definitely stand up for you. Even if I do it openly, I can do it secretly. I will not let our Kangwang Mansion be bullied easily by anyone." After a pause, thinking that she had finished speaking, she suddenly spoke again -
"You know, I was trained by my father and have been in charge of the Six Gates for a few years. My overt tactics are limited to a few, nothing to mention. But the covert tactics are truly spectacular. Do you believe me?"
"Letter" Fu Jinxi answered without hesitation.
In order to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, she burned down the Dali Temple prison, allowed the prisoners to escape, and then made secret plans.
This was a thorough search of the Baohua Temple, which was highly valued by the imperial family of the Celestial Empire. She could have people secretly surround and ambush it, and then take the opportunity to cause a big disturbance.
On that day, in the lecture hall of Baohua Temple, in order to make the real culprit appear and make Master Yuande and the Queen Mother believe everything, she secretly set a trap in the conversation and lured the "Seven Views of Baohua Temple" to reveal their evil deeds.
"Of course I believe it." He said again, as if sighing.
Seeing him leaning towards her with his blanket, Mu Kaiwei stopped him to prevent him from falling to the ground. "...Prince?"
"Well, it's okay. I just... just..." The man, who was more than a head taller than her, wanted to rub against her uncontrollably. Especially after hearing what she just said, his heart was in high spirits. He rushed left and right, wanting to hug her tightly, hold her in his arms and press her into his flesh. The thought was so evil that it made him tremble all over.
But, it is impossible. Even if it is unbearable, you still have to endure it.
It is estimated that if he attacked her at this moment, he would either be exposed and become a wolf to fight her, or he would turn into a sheep and be kicked away.
He didn't know he would end up in such a situation!
"I am just hungry. It's time for dinner."
Finally, he let out a long sigh.
After all, truth cannot be hidden. Not only did the groom fail to show up to greet guests in the banquet hall of Prince Kang's mansion, but the fifth prince, Prince Li, got drunk and made a scene in the bridal chamber, and was swiftly knocked down by the new Princess Kang with the sword bestowed by the emperor. This incident spread like wildfire among several female guests who squeezed into the bridal chamber to make trouble soon after their carriage left Prince Kang's mansion that night.
The spread of the news was expected, but the more it spread, the more outrageous it became. Even the rumor that King Kang did not receive guests before the current one was because he was frightened by the power of the swords and his old illness had relapsed.
Legend has it that the Jade Rakshasa was the one keeping the peace, and the "Evil Star of Heaven" was so overwhelmed that it left the other at the mercy of the other, the prey on the chopping board. The wedding night was filled with difficulty, but who was the prey? Who was the prey? The people of the Imperial Capital knew it all.
Even after resigning from the position of the chief of the "Six Gates", the information network set up by Mu Kaiwei continued to operate secretly, and the rumors flying around naturally reached her ears quickly. She didn't care much about such things, but as for this prince of her family... she was a little unsure.
Two days ago, she accidentally heard the old servant named "Lao Xue" reporting this matter to Fu Jinxi. Lao Xue had excellent eloquence and described the rumor in great detail, even using gestures and even changing his facial expressions.
At that time, she was still thinking about how she could help Fu Jinxi if he felt upset and wanted to clarify things. Unexpectedly, after listening to what Lao Xue said, he looked like he was still unsatisfied.
"Really? Do you really say that, my king? And what else?"
"... They say I was tied to the bed, my limbs bound with the strips of wedding satin that decorated the room, so I can't go out to greet guests? Oh, who came up with this? How did it hit the spot on my mind... Uh, ahem, I mean, how could such a ridiculous plot be invented?"
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
On the wedding night, the two who were nominally husband and wife finished their meal in the bridal chamber, washed up simply, and lay down on the bed... and fell asleep.
Having a man sleeping next to her was nothing new to Mu Kaiwei.
When she was outside the "Six Gates", whenever she needed to lie in ambush to carry out her duties, the detectives, big and small, had to take turns to rest in batches. When it was her turn to take a short break to recuperate, the men in front, behind, and around her, big and small, would sit or lie down with their weapons in their arms, relying on each other. There were many such things.
So on the night of her wedding, with an extra man sharing her bed, Mu Kaiwei slept very soundly.
But when she woke up the next day feeling refreshed, she looked at Prince Kang who had insisted on sleeping on his outer side last night, and her heart was inexplicably pulled again.
He bent one arm as a pillow and slept on his side facing her, his slender body slightly curled up, lying on the edge of the bed.
The way he slept seemed as if he was afraid of touching or crowding her, so he left a large area of the couch for her to sleep comfortably. It also seemed as if he was using himself as a barrier to enclose her in a safe little place.
Just as she was trying to make sense of the situation and staring at him with bated breath, he suddenly uttered a meaningless murmur, and then... he actually changed his sleeping position and rolled over to the other side!
Thanks to her quick eyes, quick hands and strong strength, she pounced on him in time and hugged him tightly.
And this hug naturally woke him up.
Mu Kaiwei realized that she was pressing on him, and was afraid of hurting him. She was about to step away with a shiver in her heart, but she heard him lower his eyes and smile foolishly as if he was still in a dream, and said:
"Then... then I can hug you too, right?"
She couldn't move away because Prince Kang suddenly opened his arms and hugged her tightly.
Not only that, he buried his handsome face, which was sickly pale yet oozing with a strange red hue, in the crook of her neck, then turned over and pushed her back onto the couch.
“Wei… Weiwei… you treat me so well, so well… you are so good… you smell so good…” After mumbling nonsense, he actually collapsed and didn’t move.
Mu Kaiwei immediately thought of seven or eight ways to "get rid of him" immediately, but he didn't use the last one.
slight.
That was the nickname her mother gave her. Only her mother would call her that, only her mother.
But he called it out in a daze, as if he had called it out countless times in his heart and it seemed so natural.
Alas, her breathing became disordered and her eyes became hot and almost collapsed.
As a result, she let him half-press and half-hug her, and the newlyweds continued to lie on the couch early in the morning of the so-called "wedding night". She didn't even know when she fell asleep again, and she slept like this until noon.
What a decadence, such a wasteful decadence.
It is said that a night of spring is worth a thousand gold, but countless gold coins are lost.
On the night of King Kang's wedding, the two, who were supposed to be enjoying a night of intimacy, just tossed and turned in bed. So where was the mention of "being tied to the bed"? What about "limbs tightly bound in red wedding satin"?
Since Prince Kang had no intention of clarifying the matter, Mu Kaiwei didn't care.
During these few days of her "honeymoon", the newly appointed Princess Kang was quite busy. Although she had Aunt Lan and the housekeeper to help with the household affairs in Kang's mansion, there were still many new things to master. On the other hand, she also did not forget to investigate and investigate dozens of people in the mansion, hoping to find some clues related to Hei San.
To the outside world, although she has resigned from the position of the head of the wing, there are still one or two cases in her hands that have not been brought to justice, especially the Baohua Temple case. Guanqin, the youngest of the "Seven Temples of Baohua Temple", is still at large, and the eldest brother Guanzhi is dead. The key to the whole case is none other than Guanqin.
Since she still had the sword of the "Six Doors", she considered herself as a member of the "Six Doors". Although she could not always focus on her duties as before, she still kept in close contact with the detectives of the "Six Doors" and the secret agents stationed throughout Beijing.
As for Prince Kang, who was both his "bedside companion" and "dinner buddy", Mu Kaiwei also felt that he had adapted very well to the situation, and there didn't seem to be anything that needed to be adjusted in their daily life.
Generally speaking, King Kang preferred quietness and rarely went out.
But every time she asked him out, he accepted. And then, whether it was out of excitement, joy, or something else, his pale and handsome face would show a little red, as if he really enjoyed her company.
Every morning she practiced martial arts in the garden in front of the main courtyard, while Prince Kang either sat in the corridor reading a book or set up the chessboard and played chess against himself.
Sometimes she would play chess with him, but her chess skills were not good and she always lost. This aroused her competitive spirit, and she would study the chess manuals before going to bed every night. Those precious chess manuals, which were said to be the only copies left, were collected from Prince Kang's library.
They ate three meals a day together. If Mu Kaiwei was out on business, he would try his best to return to the mansion to have dinner with Prince Kang. If he really couldn't make it back, he would definitely send someone back to inform him.
After getting married, life didn't change much.
In the past, she would go home to eat with her father, but now when she returns home, there are people waiting for her to eat together. As a "partner" who lives together, Prince Kang is really very good.
As for the other people living in Prince Kang's Mansion, so far... well, they seem to be doing fine too.
"What else does Princess want to know? Just ask me. I know every slave and servant in this palace, and I'm very familiar with them. The prince is so kind that he only lets me take care of a small herb garden in the backyard, considering that I'm old and my legs are not very flexible. The work is not much. After I finish my work every day, I go to talk to people about family matters. Therefore, I am definitely more familiar with everyone's affairs in the palace than the chief steward and other stewards."
The person in charge of the small medicinal garden in the backyard is an old lady with a round face, thin stature, and a chatterbox who can't stop once she starts. Mu Kaiwei has learned a lot of private matters of everyone in the mansion from the old lady in the past few days, which is very helpful for her to get a good grasp of the personnel and affairs in Prince Kang's mansion in a short period of time.
At this time, she came to the small herb garden and used the excuse that she wanted to see what kind of herbs were planted in this land. She seemed to catch Grandma Qing by chance and started "chatting" again.
After hearing what she asked, Grandma Qing was stunned at first, then nodded in sudden understanding. "Yes, back then, the old prince and the old princess had an accident outside. A year later, the prince, who was only eight or nine years old, returned to the capital. In addition to a strong man, he was accompanied by an old woman. This is true... Hey, the princess cares about the prince so much. That's good, very good. It's what a married couple should do. Princess, you asked before who the male servant who accompanied the prince was. I not only told you, but also pointed him out to you. Now you ask about that old woman again. Well, to be honest, I know about it too."
In the robbery at Sanchuankou that year, Fu Jinxi was young and seriously ill and fell unconscious, so no one could get to the bottom of the matter. Mu Kaiwei then investigated the people who were with him at the time. The old steward called "Lao Xue" had an unusual status in the palace. Although he was not the chief steward of the palace, his status was definitely higher than that of the general manager.
She went to talk to Lao Xue and asked him about the robbery at Sanchuankou. Lao Xue was very respectful and answered whatever she asked, but his answers were of no help to what she wanted to know.
"To answer your question, Princess, those river bandits were numerous and swarmed over us. It happened suddenly, and I, entrusted by the old prince and princess, carried the prince, who was still the crown prince, and fled. I ran very fast. There were vast expanses of reeds at the cliffs of Sanchuankou and Renyao Island, so I dug deeper. I dug and dug, and I don't know how long I had been digging. Suddenly, the road ahead opened up, and I was able to find the residence of that miracle doctor. It was truly a blessing from heaven."
Mu Kaiwei couldn't tell what was wrong, but his intuition told him that something was wrong.
Old Xue answered without thinking, and his answer was very fluent, as if he had known that he would be asked this question a long time ago, so he had prepared his answer in advance.
But... she couldn't detect any malicious intent to conceal.
Not only did he have no ill intentions, but Old Xue would look up at her from time to time as he stood there answering with his short and strong body slightly bent. His gaze and expression seemed as if he really wanted to take a good look at her, but because of their master-servant relationship, he didn't dare to be rude.
At the end of the questioning, she even noticed that he lowered his head and secretly wiped away his tears. She was shocked at the moment, and couldn't help but wonder if she had unconsciously brought out the aura of a "Six Gates" official and accidentally frightened the old servant?
As a result, she had to put Lao Xue aside for the time being and planned to try again with someone else.
"The old lady the princess asked about, um, is right there, it's her." Grandma Qing stretched out her arm and pointed her skinny index finger straight there.
Mu Kaiwei then looked over and saw a short and fat old woman in her seventies, squatting at the other end of the herb garden with a small shovel, helping to turn the soil.
Grandma Qing continued, "But if the princess wants to consult her, I'm afraid it will be difficult. In Prince Kang's mansion, everyone calls her the Mute Woman... Mute Woman was born deaf and dumb, and can't read, but she has a knack for gardening. Previously, she was entrusted with the care of all the flowers and trees in the mansion's garden, but her health has been declining year by year. That's why she begged the prince to let her move into the backyard and work with this old servant to till the soil and plant herbs."
...Born deaf and dumb? Illiterate? Mu Kaiwei was stunned.
But even so, I still have to try it. It's better than adding painting to my hands...it should be okay, right?
"Thank you, Grandma Qing. I understand." She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and walked towards Grandma Mute.
A maidservant hurried to the herb garden in the backyard. Finding someone, she bowed and said in a crisp voice, "Princess, Aunt Lan said that the bedrooms in the main courtyard have been arranged according to your wishes. Please go back and see if there are any deficiencies."
Mu Kaiwei's steps suddenly stopped, and he thought that if he asked the mute woman questions, it would definitely take some time considering her condition. It would be better to find a time to prepare pen, ink, and paper for drawing, and think about how to ask questions, so that he could get twice the result with half the effort.
Having made up her mind, she left the herb garden and returned to the main courtyard.
"Well... our princess walks with big strides." Grandma Qing praised sincerely, her eyes narrowed in smile, and many wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
The watana at the other end didn't even raise her head, but buried her head in turning the soil seriously.
"Master, let me advise you to confess what you should tell others as soon as possible. Do you think it's fun to keep dragging it out?" Old Xue said earnestly.
Yes! It's so interesting... Ahem, the master wiped his face and shook off the "bad" thoughts in his mind.
"I am not delaying the discussion. I need to find a good time, with the right time, place and people."
But the girl thought he was weak and frail, so she was very accommodating to him.
She let him sleep on the bed with her, because she was sure that she could subdue him with just a finger, so even when he suddenly hugged her and pressed her down on the bed, she did not struggle.
She dined with him every day, practiced martial arts for him, played chess with him, and invited him out for outings.
She listened attentively to everything he said and responded seriously.
He knew in his heart that she felt a little sorry for him.
Now, even if she didn't have romantic feelings for him, she still felt pity for him. If he were to reveal the truth right now and let her know everything, would she no longer have that pity for him?
Old Xue was unaware of his inner turmoil. He sighed, "Well, that day she came to me to ask about something, about what happened that night at Sanchuankou. My Lord, I was so miserable holding it in, I wanted to tell her mother all about her heroic spirit, how she stood alone against a hundred enemies! But I wouldn't tell her, so I had to hold it in. It was so painful. This really wasn't a long-term solution."
"...I understand." Old Xue nagged him, thinking it was his fault, so he just "listened to the lecture" obediently.
"Also, that sinister woman said that besides what happened to the three of us that night, she seems to be investigating someone else."
He was about to ask Old Xue not to address the elder woman like that, but when he heard the last part, his heart sank and he asked, "Who are you checking?"
Old Xue replied, "The Poison Woman said that these past few days, she's been secretly checking every servant in the mansion, even the stewards, big and small. She's been checking again and again, and everyone she's been investigating is tall, young, and slender, with lots of long, black hair... The Poison Woman said that the few people she's been targeting in the mansion are quite similar in height and appearance to you. They're... basically looking for you."
"I?!"
"Master, when you went out to show off your power, were you followed?"
"I... I didn't... right?" He left the girl far behind before running back to the palace, didn't he?
Old Xue waved his hand. "Forget it. Whether it's true or not, I'll just confess everything to him as soon as possible. You know where he used to be. If you keep digging into it, it's only a matter of time before we get to the bottom of it."
The master lowered his head even lower, "This king... understands."
"Understand what?" A voice came from outside the door.
When Mu Kaiwei strode into the main hall, he saw that Prince Kang seemed a little dejected, and Old Xue was standing beside him trying to persuade him with a sincere look on his face, but no one knew what he was trying to persuade him to do.
"Princess." Old Xue immediately bowed, bowing even lower, and quickly answered for his own prince. "Princess, that, uh... because the prince found the medicine too bitter and refused to take it, I persuaded him again and again, and the prince... the prince finally understood and realized that he still had to take the medicine on time. So the prince said he understood, but... but he hasn't taken the medicine yet." Oh my god, his whole back was sweating!
Mu Kaiwei nodded, "Is that so."
She glanced at the cup of dark medicine on the table, then raised her eyes to look at Prince Kang's extremely pale face. She slowly placed her hands on her sides and smiled, "Drink the medicine."
"Okay." Fu Jinxi moved very quickly. He picked up the white porcelain medicine cup, discarded the spoon, and gulped the medicine directly into his mouth... gurgle... This medicine was prescribed by the female elder for him to strengthen his body. It is very effective for practicing Qi. The remaining warm medicine juice quickly slid down his throat and fell into his stomach.
Prince Kang is extremely well-behaved and obedient in front of his princess.
Old Xue watched from the side, and although cold sweat broke out on his back, he was still quite pleased and happy for his grandfather, and his old face couldn't help but turn red...
