She ignored the cold iceberg next to her and ate her meal in silence. Suddenly there was a soft knock on the door, and before she could react, the maid suddenly fell limply in front of her.

Then, she felt her eyes go dark and lost consciousness.

This is a room that is sealed on all sides.

The heavy, low-hanging curtains blocked the light, and a luminous pearl gave off a faint light.

Mu Qingwan woke up slowly, her head still a little dizzy, as if she was in pain like a hangover, and the memories before coma quickly came back...

Who made the maid unconscious and kidnapped her from Yun Lanshan?

What a depressing spirit! It has only been a few days, and I have been surrounded by bandits, masked men, kidnapped, and stunned. What a wonderful life!

As soon as her consciousness became clear, she found a man lying lazily on the imperial concubine's couch opposite the bed. The sunlight shone in through the window lattice, outlining his handsome silhouette. His tall body was wrapped in a deep purple robe, making him look tall and tall.

And nobility, but...

But his face was strangely covered with a silver eagle-shaped mask, which was placed on the high bridge of his nose, covering most of his face. His cool and thin lips looked inscrutable.

The whole person looks sinister and evil.

Seeing her waking up, the man in the eagle-shaped mask walked over gracefully and sat down beside the bed. His eyes fell on her unscrupulously, and his voice sounded sinisterly: "Long time no see."

This voice...

I seem to have heard it somewhere.

After thinking about it carefully, I still couldn't remember where I had heard it, so I could only say calmly: "I don't know your name? You have brought me here. What advice can you give me?"

"She is indeed his woman. At such a time, she can still remain calm in the face of danger." The man answered the question, curled his sexy thin lips slightly, and smiled softly.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and Mu Qingwan said calmly: "I'm afraid you are mistaken. I am not anyone's woman." Even if I was before, I am not now.

The man touched the mask, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked with wavering eyes, "Are you interested in a bet?"

"Sorry, I've never been into gambling." She vaguely guessed the man's intention.

Oh, why do everyone think that using her can threaten Xia Houlie?

"Don't you want to know your position in Xia Houlie's heart?" The man curled his lips with a half-smile, and his tone was extremely lazy.

"He is no longer a stranger to me. It doesn't seem to mean much to me whether I know what his status is in his heart."

Although her tone was light, she had already scolded this perverted masked man thousands of times in her heart. She hated this kind of hiding person the most in her life. She really wanted to take off this evil mask from his face.

Look what kind of perverted face there is inside. Moreover, he just said "Long time no see". Have they seen it before?

The masked man still had a smile on his face, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to gamble, just concentrate on watching the show."

The night is dark.

The cold moonlight shone on Xia Houlie's handsome face, which was equally cold, with a piercing coldness. His obsidian eyes were as dark and cold as a bloodthirsty wolf.

Seeing the man wearing an eagle-shaped mask slowly approaching, Xia Houlie signaled Zhaohe and the secret guards behind him to stay still.

"Tell me, what do you want?" He asked straight to the point without saying any more nonsense.

The masked man sneered, "It's really refreshing!"

"I was fooled by you in our transaction last time and ended up getting nothing. This time, it seems I shouldn't trust you unconditionally."

His eyebrows froze, his face darkened, and a fierce look flashed through his eyes: "Helian Mo Xiao, what do you want?"

"It's very simple. Just give me your Beiyan tiger talisman and your woman will be fine."

Xia Houlie's face was expressionless, and he answered word by word with a cold tone: "Impossible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp cry came from the house behind the masked man, mixed with painful moans...

"Don't come over! Don't touch me! Ah! No! Don't come over!..."

The voice was clearly that of Mu Qingwan!

The familiar voice fell on Zhaohe's ears, and his face suddenly turned livid. He clenched his fists and was about to rush forward, but was blocked by Xia Houlie.

"Brother Imperial, that's Qingwan!" Zhaohe's face turned pale with anxiety.

Xia Houlie, however, remained expressionless, looking coldly at Helian Moxiao opposite him.

"Haha..." Helian Moxiao suddenly laughed wildly, "Xia Houlie, the fun has just begun. I will naturally give you time to think about it. To be honest, the famous Princess Qingwan is indeed well-deserved. I

I can’t wait to taste her."

Xia Houlie's expression was slightly restrained, and there was no emotion in his deep eyes, but his voice was extremely cold: "Helian Moxiao, if it were you, how would you choose between country and beauty?"

Helian Moxiao smiled coldly, "This is exactly what you need to answer. I will give you one day to think about it. I hope you will not disappoint me then."

After saying that, he jumped up and disappeared without a trace.

Showa and the secret guards rushed to the room immediately, but the building was empty, leaving only a mess on the bed.

Xia Houlie, who arrived later, pursed his lips and stared at the messy quilt on the bed without saying a word, but the look between his eyebrows was so sharp that it made people's hearts tremble.

Showa next to him was so angry that his eyes were red, and he punched the wall with his clenched fist, and white powder suddenly flew everywhere, "Damn it, damn Helian Mo Xiao dared to touch her, I will smash him to pieces

Thousands of corpses!"

Xia Houlie's cold eyes slightly raised, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was as cold as if it came from the underworld, "That's not Mu Qingwan."

The Mu Qingwan he knew would never be so cowardly and useless.

Narrowing his black eyes slightly, Xia Houlie frowned and ordered calmly: "I have asked Leng Ji to follow her, leaving marks along the way. All the secret guards will obey the order and rescue the queen at all costs!

"

"According to the decree!" In the dark night, the uniform voice was majestic.

In fact, she was not surprised by Xia Houlie's choice. She, Mu Qingwan, was just a woman. She was just a little prettier than other women, but it was not enough for Xia Houlie to exchange the entire military power of Beiyan.

, Country or beauty, which one is more important? He, Xia Houlie, is a smart and rational person. He will never give him the Tiger Talisman for her as Helian Mo Xiao thought.

It's just that knowing it in your heart is one thing, but hearing it with your own ears is another thing entirely.

She didn't know why her heart felt sour, disappointed, and aggrieved.

It's perfectly normal for him to make this choice, isn't it?

It's true that he dotes on her, and maybe he likes her a little bit, but how can such love be compared with the country he gained through hard work and humiliation?

"After watching the play, it wasn't very good."

She commented calmly.

Helian Moxiao stared at her quietly for a moment, then suddenly walked towards her, placed his hands on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and trapped her between his chest and the chair, leaning down, Mu Qingwan subconsciously became on guard, "

Helian Moxiao, what do you want to do?"

However, he did not speak. He leaned forward and stopped just one finger away from the two faces. A twinkling light flashed in his eyes, "It seems that you are not as useful as I thought. At least, compared to the previous one."

Once, the value has been greatly reduced."

Mu Qingwan was so angry that she couldn't speak. This hurt her self-esteem too much! But she didn't intend to discuss this with him. Although she had scolded all eighteen generations of his ancestors, she still said calmly: "Yes.

Ah, I knew it a long time ago."

"Aren't you sad?"

"Why should I be sad?"

Mu Qingwan smiled coldly. In fact, her mood at the moment was extremely complicated, so complicated that she didn't even want to explore why she was like this.

Helian Moxiao's body leaned down again, and a big hand suddenly stretched out and hugged her waist, "Tsk, tsk, such a beautiful beauty, Xia Houlie is blind to not want him, why not,

Are you following this king?"

Damn that stinky man, how dare you tease her?! I have to show him some color today!

Mu Qingwan resisted the urge to break off his hairy hand, and pretended to raise her eyes to look at him angrily. Such a close observation made Mu Qingwan a little shocked. Helian Mo Xiao's majestic appearance, this man's face can only be described as beautiful.

To describe, although Xia Houlie is handsome,

, but there is a masculine and domineering air about him, not feminine at all, and this man's handsome face is like a hand crafted by a skilled craftsman, with a pair of bright black eyes embedded with obsidian-like pupils, so beautiful that a woman can hardly see him.

They are all ashamed of themselves.

She looked at it for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter: "It turns out that fake women have existed since ancient times, and it started with you, Helian Mo Xiao!"

femboy?!

Although this term is novel and weird, when used to describe a man, it is always insulting.

I wonder what woman wouldn't flock to him like bees after honey? And she actually dared to laugh at his face?!

Helian Moxiao's self-esteem was severely hit, and his dark eyes suddenly became cold, and a trace of anger gradually emerged from his eyes.

But looking at her smiling face, her anger strangely seemed to have been blown away by the wind...

Her smile was seductive and dazzling. Even he, who was used to seeing beauties, couldn't help but feel swayed.

He calmed down his expression and soon returned to his cold and hard look. He pulled her up from the chair with such force that Mu Qingwan was forcefully pulled into his arms.

Her arms were suddenly cuffed, and Mu Qingwan struggled desperately, but in vain. She did not expect that the gentle-looking Helian Moxiao could be so strong. She raised her head and stared at him provocatively, with beautiful starry eyes.

It was confusing and dazzling, but the words in his mouth hit Helian Mo Xiao on the face like ice beads:
To be continued...
