After a long time, seeing that he was still restraining her in such an oppressive manner, she began to struggle vigorously regardless of her injuries. Unexpectedly, this time, he let go quickly, and his eyes were still staring down from above.

She stood up straight, her face as cold as a hellish Shura:

"Is this letter written by Helian Hengzhi?"

Her face turned pale, and she subconsciously didn't want him to know about Hengzhi's private contact with her, lest he get angry. However, her back was still straight, and she raised her eyes to stare at Xia Houlie, her eyes getting colder and colder:

"Don't care who gave it to me, as long as it's the truth."

Xia Houlie remained silent, all the muscles in his body were tense, and his big hands clenched and unclenched at his side, as if he was trying his best to suppress a certain emotion. He just stared at Mu Qingwan quietly for a while, then suddenly looked away.

, looking out the window, a fallen leaf fell into his eyes, but slowly turned into endless emptiness and confusion.

"Brother Imperial..." Seeing him like this, Zhaohe called out uneasily.

But he suddenly laughed loudly, his voice was a little dry and hoarse, with a desolate tone. Mu Qingwan felt like she had seen him before. By the way, he also laughed like this a few nights ago, which made her hair stand on end.

But today, there was a bit of sarcasm in that smile, as if he was laughing at her, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at her or himself.

Mu Qingwan retreated subconsciously, but her back was already pressed against the wall, and she had no way to retreat. She could only confront him at such a close distance, and she could even clearly feel his hot and rapid breaths blowing on her face.

On, on the neck...

This kind of calmness is completely unlike him, just like him the night before yesterday. Looking at him, he was obviously gnashing his teeth with anger, but like the night before, he chose to endure it. It's just that this way, it makes him more angry than before.

She panicked.

I don't know when Nuannuan came in. It whined twice and rushed over, biting Xia Houlie's hem. Mu Qingwan was frightened by its movements, fearing that Xia Houlie would operate on it.

He knelt down and hugged Nuan Nuan in his arms, looking at Xia Houlie in horror.

The warm and crisp cry dispersed the confusion in Xia Houlie's eyes. He turned his head and glanced at Mu Qingwan. His heart, which was already paralyzed by pain, felt another stab of pain when it came into contact with the fear in her eyes.

He closed his eyes, and the fear in her eyes burned his eyes like hot oil. The hot feeling was like blood rushing through his veins. He suddenly wanted to step forward and ask her why she was so embarrassed.

Lian Hengzhi's few words indiscriminately put the blame on him!

But, so what if you ask? You are just asking for humiliation!

That was her first love, that was her favorite man, and he, Xia Houlie, was just the robber who snatched her away, and she didn't even treat him well. She hated him, hated him to the core, and in her heart, he was

A heinous bastard!

If he treats her well, she thinks it's just an act; if he treats her badly, she treats him as a savage beast and avoids him.

Unknowingly, he had forced himself into a dead end.

When Xia Houlie's back disappeared from sight, Mu Qingwan finally realized that he had just left like that?!

Seeing Mu Qingwan's stunned look, Zhaohe sighed secretly and then said:

"Qingwan, you have really wronged the emperor this time. He has never issued an imperial edict to send troops to Western Chu. Think about it, Yunlan Mountain is about to make a move now, and the emperor is so busy that he has no time to attack Xichu?

Even if the imperial brother hates your father no matter how much he hates you, he will definitely not choose to send troops at this time. If the internal troubles are not solved yet, adding a foreign trouble is not asking for death."

Hearing this, Mu Qingwan was stunned and frowned: "But if Xi Chu is fine, why would Hengzhi try so hard to notify me? How can such a big thing be faked?"

Showa reassured: "Don't worry, it's important to recover from your injuries first. I think there may be something fishy about this matter. Brother Huang and I will go and find out."

"But what if something really happens to Xi Chu..."

She still couldn't help but worry, after all, there was no smoke without fire. If it wasn't the soldiers sent by Xia Houlie, then it couldn't be ruled out that it was someone else.

Someone else? She suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Is it possible that someone else is pretending to be Xia Houlie?"

Showa narrowed his eyes and said in deep thought: "It's not impossible. I'll take good care of my injuries. I'll go discuss it with the emperor and try to find out the matter as soon as possible."

After saying that, he was about to leave. Mu Qingwan thought for a moment, then hurriedly called him out: "Showa, wait a moment."

"What else?"

Mu Qingwan sat up and looked at him steadily: "Zhaohe, can I trust you?"

Showa said without hesitation: "Of course, I said it at the beginning, as long as it is your matter, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Mu Qingwan smiled:

"With your words, I feel at ease. I want to ask you for a favor. I thought about it. Maybe I misunderstood Xia Houlie this time, but I also believe that Hengzhi cannot lie to me. The only explanation is

, something really happened to Xi Chu. If so, then Xi Chu may be in danger. I can’t wait for you to find out the truth, and even if you really find out the truth, Xia Houlie will not necessarily let go of such a good opportunity to deal with it.

Xi Chu, so now I want to ask you to help me go to Fu Lai Inn, find a Fu shopkeeper, tell me my name, and say that I have something urgent to see their master, and ask him to reply to me before tomorrow. That person will naturally

You will know.”

Zhaohe's expression changed: "Do you want to ask Helian Hengzhi for help?"

Mu Qingwan knew she couldn't hide it from him, so she could only nod: "Yes, he is the only one who can help me now."

Hearing this, Zhaohe smiled bitterly, "Why didn't you think of me?"

"I've thought about it, but I don't want you two brothers to get angry because of me. That's the last thing I want to see. Can you understand?"

"I understand." Showa was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, I will make this trip for you. Who made me agree to it?"

Seeing that he agreed, Mu Qingwan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second a thunderous voice sounded in the air:

"Showa, you are not allowed to go!"

The two of them turned back together, only to realize that Xia Houlie had come in at some unknown time.

Mu Qingwan suddenly became angry: "Xia Houlie, are you shameless? You actually eavesdropped on our conversation!"

"What eavesdropping? I listen openly!" Xia Houlie still had a cold face and handed the medicine bowl in his hand to Chu Yunxiu behind him, "Go and feed her."

Then he turned to Showa: "Come out, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, she turned around and left, exuding astonishing anger. She actually dared to ask Helian Hengzhi for help!

He didn't dare to go in, otherwise he was really worried that he would strangle her to death!

Mu Qingwan immediately roared:

"I won't drink, Xia Houlie, if you dare to do harm to my father, the emperor and my queen, I will die in front of you!"

"If she doesn't drink, she will be knocked unconscious and fed to me!"

Xia Houlie dropped the words and left without looking back. Zhaohe touched his nose and had to look at Mu Qingwan apologetically, "Qingwan, you can rest in peace and recuperate. Brother Huang, I will advise him. He will not really treat you."

How about father, emperor and mother, if you are worried about their safety, I will immediately send someone to Xichu to understand the situation. If a war really breaks out, then I will not stand idly by, believe me."

Mu Qingwan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Now that I have been injured, I can't do anything. The only way is to recover as soon as possible, so that I don't have to be at the mercy of Xia Houlie.

After she figured it out, she stopped trying to get into trouble, took the medicine bowl from Chu Yunxiu's hand, and drank it up.

"Brother Imperial, you look very bad, please take a rest."

When he came to the study, Zhaohe saw Xia Houlie sitting down and starting to sort out the memorials to impeach Yun Lanshan, and hurriedly advised him.

He rubbed his brows tiredly, "Now we have finally found an opening to negotiate with the Yun family. We must be fully prepared. Moreover, the fire in Yangyizhai this time also happened strangely. The murderer has not been found yet, and now there is another

How can I rest at ease regarding Xi Chu?"

"But no matter what, you have to rest. Although your health is good, you can't stand it. Things will always be solved, and there is no rush at this moment..."

While they were talking, Grandma Jin Ru came in with a medicine bowl. Zhaohe took it and motioned for her to go down, then handed the bowl to Xia Houlie.

He took it and drank it all in one sip. The bitter taste melted in his mouth. He felt uncomfortable. He poured several glasses of water and drank it to wash away the bitter taste, but it was still so strong and strong. He closed his eyes.

I couldn't help but say:

"I did want to attack Xichu before, and I wanted to make them feel heartbroken. Not to mention that they were already unkind to me. As the king of Beiyan, I wanted to expand the territory and make Beiyan stronger.

This is my mission. Beiyan has the ability to destroy other countries, why don't I do it? But even if I want to attack, I will not be so hasty. If I am not sure of victory, I will never take the risk. What's more, now Yun Lan
