Xi Honglei opened her eyes, and there was no trace of Mu Yunmeng around her. She frowned and stood up, Xi Honglei looked at the things Mu Yunmeng had prepared for her in the room, and sighed softly.
Xi Zichen's voice came from outside the house. Xi Honglei put away the worried expression on his face, slowly got out of bed and walked to the door.
Pushing the door open, she looked at Xi Zichen who was struggling to push the door in, and Bai Moyue who was trying to stop him. Xi Honglei smiled at the two of them, bent down and hugged the man who was rushing towards her.
Little man.
"Mother." Xi Zichen hugged Xi Honglei's neck and called sweetly.
"You bastard, I've taken care of you for so many days, but you haven't even let me hold you." Yang Xiang, who came out of nowhere, said unhappily after seeing Xi Zichen and Xi Honglei's intimacy.
Got it.
Xi Zichen followed the voice and looked over, making a face at Yang Xiang. Yang Xiang walked up to Xi Honglei, raised his hand and pinched Xi Zichen's face, then looked in the direction of the room and asked in a low voice
Said: "Where is Yunmeng?"
"Not in the house." Xi Honglei answered Yang Xiang truthfully. "I don't know where I went."
Xi Honglei's answer made Yang Xiang become nervous immediately. He and Bai Moyue looked at each other, and Yang Xiang said with a solemn expression: "Where else can he go at this time? Could it be that he really went into the palace alone to find Shu Rumei?
With Ran Yunpo?"
Xi Honglei listened to Yang Xiang's guess and rejected his idea. Since Mu Yunmeng still had the patience and time to prepare things for himself to take a bath, he should not be in such an impulsive mood. Xi Honglei looked at Yang, who was obviously restless.
Xiang thought for a while and said, "Send someone to monitor the area near the palace so that we can know if there is any movement."
Yang Xiang nodded silently, without saying anything, and turned around and walked out of the yard. But after a while, he came back again.
"How come it's so fast?" Bai Moyue looked at Yang Xiang who looked a little strange in confusion and asked.
"The people from the Xixi Kingdom are here." Yang Xiang frowned and spoke, still crying with Bai Moyue, talking about the news he had just received.
The Xixi Kingdom sent troops to the Xuanxuan Kingdom before, but never sent any troops to help attack the Zizi Kingdom. But just now, those troops had arrived in the capital.
Yang Xiang thought, Mu Yunmeng must have gone to meet those people, right?
"Xixi Kingdom?" Xi Honglei spoke softly, squinting at Yang Xiang and asked, "Who?"
"I don't know yet." However, I can almost guess it.
Several people fell silent in unison. What is the purpose of the people from Xixi Kingdom appearing here at this time?
Mu Yunmeng looked at the two people in front of him expressionlessly, standing there quietly, motionless.
On the way back, he learned that the two of them had led troops into the city. Mu Yunmeng did not expect that he would come in person.
"Yunmeng!" Huangfu Qiong looked at Mu Yunmeng and shouted happily. Unfortunately, Mu Yunmeng didn't seem to see her as a person. He walked past her without squinting and walked past her.
In front of the person behind her.
"Why are you here?" Mu Yunmeng looked at Ouyang Yu, and she was really surprised by his appearance.
"I'm afraid if I don't come, what are you thinking about?" Ouyang Yu answered Mu Yunmeng's question with a chuckle. Looking at Mu Yunmeng's obviously tired expression, Ouyang Yu glanced sideways at Huangfu Qiong over there, and said
Mu Yunmeng said: "Find a place to sit?"
"You brought so many people to Xuanxuan Country just to sit with me, right?" Mu Yunmeng asked thoughtfully: "The conditions given by Ran Yunpo are so tempting.
Isn’t it possible that the Emperor is not tempted at all?”
"What you say is thorny." Ouyang Yu could hear a hint of displeasure in Mu Yunmeng's words, which was one of the reasons why he came in person. "I have come to see you personally, what are you worried about?"
Ouyang Yu sighed secretly. Fu Yufeng's guess was correct at all. Mu Yunmeng now was like an enraged cheetah, and he might turn his face and deny anyone at any time.
After Ouyang Yu finished speaking, Mu Yunmeng did not say anything immediately. After a moment of pause, Mu Yunmeng's sharp eyes softened slightly. "How many people did you bring here?"
"I brought ten thousand to the capital, and the rest are on standby outside the capital, waiting for your dispatch at any time." Ouyang Yu said with a helpless smile: "The emperor has put a lot of thought into it for you this time."
"Then I really want to thank the Emperor personally." Mu Yunmeng echoed Ouyang Yu's words, then turned around and walked away. "Ran Yunpo should also know the news that you brought troops here. Come to my place to rest.
Come on, I have something else to tell you."
Now Ran Yunpo and Shu Rumei must have been in the palace like ants on a hot pot, not knowing what to do. Xixi Kingdom suddenly withdrew its troops and left. Instead of returning to Xixi Kingdom, they came directly towards the capital.
For Ran Yunpo and Shu Rumei now, this move of Xixi Kingdom will undoubtedly drive them crazy with anxiety.
Ouyang Yu looked at Mu Yunmeng's unhurried look and didn't ask him about his plan again. Following Mu Yunmeng's footsteps, when Ouyang Yu passed by Huangfu Qiong, he whispered: "Get ready.
Everything is fine, waiting to take action at any time."
"I want to go with you!" Huangfu Qiong's eyes fell on Mu Yunmeng's back. Without thinking, he said firmly: "I also have something to say to Yunmeng!"
Ouyang Yu couldn't help but feel a little distracted when he saw Huangfu Qiong's decisive attitude. After quickly coming back to his senses, Ouyang Yu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and did not refuse Huangfu Qiong's request.
Ouyang Yu and Huangfu Qiong followed Mu Yunmeng's footsteps, and after walking for a long time, they arrived in front of an ordinary house.
Mu Yunmeng glanced coldly at the two people behind him with his peripheral vision, nodded to the men guarding the door, opened the door and walked in. Looking at the people gathered in the front yard, Mu Yunmeng
He raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly regained his composure.
"Yunmeng, you're back!" Yang Xiang was talking to Bai Moyue and Xi Honglei. When he saw the two people behind Mu Yunmeng, Yang Xiang was stunned in surprise.
"Yang Xiang has met the prince."
"Bai Moyue has met the prince."
Yang Xiang and Bai Moyue stood up straight in unison, walked up to Ouyang Yu, and spoke. Seeing Ouyang Yu smiling and telling them not to be polite, just as the two men relaxed a little, there was a sudden sound from behind them.
A voice came.
"Xi Honglei, I have met the prince." Xi Honglei held Chen'er in his arms, lazily and slowly stood up from the stone bench, looking at Ouyang Yu from a distance and said.
Xi Honglei's neither humble nor overbearing manner made Ouyang Yu's smile deepen. "Miss Xi, long time no see."
"It has indeed been a long time. I didn't expect that the prince would still remember me. Honglei is really honored." Xi Honglei and Ouyang Yu said polite words, but they did not ignore the hateful look in his eyes from the very beginning.
Staring at Huangfu Qiong here.
The moment Huangfu Qiong walked into the yard and saw Xi Honglei and the child in her arms, her expression immediately changed. She stood behind Mu Yunmeng and looked at the young boy with cold eyes. When she saw him
Huangfu Qiong met his gaze without fear. When he looked over, the anger in Huangfu Qiong's heart suddenly jumped up.
Xi Zichen didn't have a good impression of this woman who had looked at him with that look since she appeared. Although he was young, he could read people's faces. Nestled in Xi Honglei's arms, Xi Zichen tensed up.
With a small face, he stared back at Huangfu Qiong. When he saw Huangfu Qiong suddenly standing side by side with Mu Yunmeng, and wanted to put his arm around Mu Yunmeng, Xi Zichen spoke loudly and shouted: "Dad, Chen'er wants to
Hug you!"
Mu Yunmeng noticed Huangfu Qiong's actions, turned his head, and warned her coldly with his eyes. After hearing Xi Zichen's voice over there, Mu Yunmeng couldn't help but chuckle, and looked up.
Huangfu Qiong's movements were very wide, so everyone present, including Xi Honglei, could see clearly. Therefore, Xi Zichen's just right words also made several people laugh.
Mu Yunmeng walked up to Xi Honglei with a smile in her eyes and hugged Xi Zichen into her arms. Seeing the slightly raised expression on Xi Honglei's lips, Mu Yunmeng couldn't guess her mood at this moment.
"You guys chat, I'm going back to the room first." Xi Honglei glanced at Mu Yunmeng, and after finishing speaking, turned around and walked towards the room.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xi Honglei returned to the room alone. The corners of his slightly raised mouth dropped the moment the door was closed. Xi Honglei leaned on the door panel, recalling Huangfu Qiong's actions just now.
He smiled coldly.
She tried the temperature of the water and found that it was not too cold. Xi Honglei knew that at this time, no one would come looking for her when she was idle, so she adopted the mentality of "anything is idle anyway",
I took a bath in the room.
Mu Yunmeng watched Xi Honglei go back to the room, and looked at Ouyang Yu who had not yet averted his gaze. "Don't you have something to tell me?" Mu Yunmeng asked, "Let's go to the study."
"Okay." Ouyang Yu slowly looked back and found Huangfu Qiong not far away. Ouyang Yu warned with some worry: "Qiong'er, don't wander around, wait for me here."
Huangfu Qiong stood there, clenching his fists, looking at Mu Yunmeng and the child in his arms with a distorted expression. "No! I want to go with you too!"
Huangfu Qiong ignored Ouyang Yu's words and strode forward towards him.
"Stop her." Mu Yunmeng did not look back. Hearing Huangfu Qiong's footsteps, he spoke coldly and said to Yang Xiang and Bai Moyue, who had been standing by and watching the excitement: "I don't want to do that now.
See her."
Mu Yunmeng's words made Huangfu Qiong's reflexive steps stop and he froze there. It also made Yang Xiang, who had originally wanted to sneak away, curse him secretly in his heart.
No matter what, this Huangfu Qiong is also the general of the Xixi Kingdom. If you leave such a difficult matter to him, what will he do if the general holds a grudge in the future?
