"According to the report from the spies, it seems that the Western Protector..."
The candle flame danced gently, reflecting on Xuanyuan Mu's gloomy face, and the struggle in his eyes flickered in and out with the flames.
Yan Buhuan, what do you want? Do you have to be right with me?
It is recorded in medical books that Bodhi seed can relieve hundreds of poisons.
Once she finds Bodhizi, Xuanyuan Si will become a normal person, and then the father will not hesitate to kick him away as the 'prince' and replace him with Xuanyuan Si.
So what does what he did before count?
Xuanyuan Mu lowered his face, and after a long while, he said expressionlessly: "Stop them."
The secret guard glanced at him cautiously and asked, "If we intercept him, I'm afraid Princess Yan won't give in so easily."
The subtext is what actions they should take if Yan Buhuan resists.
This is the rule of Tianji Palace. Whenever they perform a task, what they are most concerned about is not how difficult the task is, but...whether they are left alive.
The lowered eyes slowly raised: "Keep alive."
"Nasi Protector..."
Xuanyuan Mu thought for a while and said: "If there is a woman beside him, then kill him without mercy. If not, withdraw quietly."
Gu Xilai, you'd better not hang out with Yan Buhuan.
"Yes!" The secret guard clasped his fists and left.
Not long after the secret guard left, a small figure quickly dodged away from the hidden flowerpot. At this moment, there was a knocking sound outside the door.
"Who is it?" Xuanyuan Mu narrowed his eyes, a little impatient.
"It's me, Prince." Chang Nian's voice sounded.
Xuanyuan Mu sat down and said, "Come in."
Tonight, Chang Nian was dressed simply as usual. According to her current status, she could dress up in a fancy way.
Xuanyuan Mu raised his eyes: "It's so late, what are you doing here?"
Chang Nian carefully placed the lotus seed soup on the table in front of him: "I made this with my own hands. Your Majesty, you haven't slept well these days."
"Leave it alone." Xuanyuan Mu waved his hand, his eyes showing fatigue.
He had indeed not had a good night's sleep in these days, not for anything else but to be wary of Jiao Li.
Xuanyuan Mu was always afraid that Jiao Li would suddenly wake up one day, and then he would return to his old days.
Therefore, he takes medicine every night to control his sleep, and even stays up at night to catch up on his sleep during the day.
After going back and forth for less than half a month, my iron-clad body couldn't bear it anymore.
Chang Nian did not leave immediately as usual, but walked around behind Xuanyuan Mu, put his soft hands on the man's shoulders, and pressed lightly and heavily.
She had lived in a brothel since she was a child and had learned nothing else except how to serve others. She had mastered these skills by the time she was ten years old.
Xuanyuan Mu's first reaction was to push her away, but Chang Nian said weakly: "Prince, Chang Nian knows that you don't like me."
Xuanyuan Mu's hand froze in mid-air. He did not deny this, and he had asked Jiao Li to convey it to her on the first day she got married. As for whether Jiao Li had made it clear or not, he did not know.
Chang Nian, however, said indifferently: "I don't care whether you like me or not. The Crown Prince is a man who does great things. How can a woman hold him back? As long as the Crown Prince is happy, Chang Nian is willing to suffer any injustice."
"Follow me, you will not be happy." Xuanyuan Mu said expressionlessly.
Chang Nian smiled slightly: "Chang Nian is very happy now. At least he doesn't have to be beaten and judged by others every day."
Xuanyuan Mu remained silent.
Chang Nian continued: "I don't expect the prince to treat me well. I just want the prince to stop worrying about unworthy people."
