Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

Zhu Baishao slapped Xiao Huanzhi on the chest, then flipped over and broke free from his embrace.

"Why are you here?" she asked coldly.

"Of course I'm here to wait for you." Xiao Huanzhi's fingers hanging under the wide sleeves of his robe moved slightly. The woman's body temperature just now was transmitted through his fingertips, burning his heart and trembling.

Zhu Baishao ignored him and planned to leave.

Xiao Huanzhi followed behind.

One in front and one behind, chasing closely.

Finally, Zhu Baishao stopped at the rooftop of an attic and frowned at Xiao Huanzhi who was following her. "How long are you going to follow me?"

The moon is bright tonight. A huge round moon hangs in the sky, casting thousands of silver rays of light.

Xiao Huanzhi and Zhu Baishao stood on a high place, as if they were riding the wind. The black robes on their bodies were blown sticking to the wind, revealing their hard and soft lines.

Xiao Huanzhi was so angry that he laughed when he heard Zhu Baishao's cold and heartless words.

The two of them are already husband and wife, but the person in front of me doesn't care at all?

Then, these days, whenever he has free time, her shadow appears before his eyes and her voice rings in his ears. Is he just worrying about nothing?

His thick and long eyelashes flickered slightly, and his inky black eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of light by the silver moon. He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and said slowly as always: "Miss Zhu is now ready to take advantage of you and turn against you?"

The moment Zhu Baishao raised her head, her black hood was blown away by the wind, revealing her delicate, cold and frosty eyebrows.

She looked at Xiao Huanzhi with a complicated look for a moment, and then returned to her usual cold expression, "It was an accident. If the prince needs me in the future, I will work like a cow or a horse to repay the prince's kindness."

"Work like a slave to repay a favor?"

Xiao Huanzhi chewed on these words for a while, his eyes flickered, and he almost laughed out loud, "I've heard people say that if a person saves someone and the person is outstanding in appearance, the person who is saved will say, 'Your kindness is too great to be repaid with, I will repay you with my own body'; if the person who saves someone is just ordinary, the person who is saved will say, 'Your kindness is too great to be repaid with, I will be your slave in the next life, and repay you with a gift of grass and a ring'..."

Xiao Huanzhi almost wanted to take a bronze mirror to see if he had an ugly appearance.

"Besides, am I someone who is repaying a favor in your heart?"

Zhu Baishao stammered for a long time, frowned, and finally shook his head.

Seeing her shaking her head, Xiao Huanzhi just felt a little happy when he heard her continue, "I don't know. They say that one's character can be seen from playing chess. I can't tell the prince's character, and I don't want to have anything to do with him."

Xiao Huan was stunned.

"Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. Goodbye." Zhu Baishao bowed, turned around and prepared to leave.

"What's your name?" Xiao Huanzhi pulled the hood of her black robe.

"Zhu Baishao." She did not intend to hide it. In her opinion, she was still in the process of catching the son of luck. Now Xiao Huanzhi might have some strange feelings towards her, but it was not enough.

Moreover, she was looking forward to the day when the Son of Destiny discovered that she was Wen Yan's fiancée.

Friend’s Wife…

I just don’t know whether the stimulation at that time will have a positive or negative effect.

Watching the woman's figure disappear into the darkness in the distance, the light in Xiao Huanzhi's narrow and long phoenix eyes became brighter and brighter. He had never lost in various games, and in this suspected battlefield of emotions, he also wanted to win and wanted Zhu Baishao to say she loved him.

Xiao Huanzhi, who has never loved anyone, does not understand that in the world of love, there is no real winner or loser. If one must compete for so-called superiority or inferiority, then the person who falls in love first is the loser.

Only those who don't love can always sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in love.

Zhu Baishao turned left and right, dodged many secret guards of the palace, and finally returned to Zhuxingju. Unexpectedly, Wen Yan was not asleep. He was standing under the lantern on the eaves, looking quietly in her direction. He was dressed in plain clothes and his eyes were gentle.

"Not asleep yet?" Zhu Baishao turned around and walked over.

"I'm a little worried about you." Wen Yan said softly.

"There's nothing to worry about. It's getting late, go and get some rest." Zhu Baishao raised his head to look at the dim night and spoke in a cold voice.

Wen Yan used the light from the lantern to quickly scan her lips and neck. When he saw that there were no red marks and nothing was wrong, his heart immediately settled down.

He had been tossing and turning in bed, feeling uneasy, fearing that Zhu Baishao would go on a tryst with that man again tonight. He couldn't sleep, so he simply came out and waited.

Zhu Baishao did not miss the relief on his face. She was puzzled but did not ask.

After the two of them left, the window of Bitao's room trembled slightly and then closed.

The next day, the Minister of War was found hanged at home, causing an uproar in the court and the country.

Xiao Huanzhi knew that Zhu Baishao had sneaked into the residence of the Minister of War to assassinate him, but he didn't know how she made the Minister of War write down his own crimes with his own hands and then hang himself.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. Now, the stories of the Minister of War who confessed to favoritism, abuse of power, and bribery have spread. As he looked at the memorials in his hands that were trying to take advantage of his misfortune and impeach the Minister of War, he couldn't help but find it more and more interesting.

It was obvious that Zhu Baishao was planning to ruin their reputation as well. Her actions were really unexpected. How much else did she know that he didn't know?

Wen Yan also heard from Xiao Huanzhi about the series of chain reactions caused by the death of the Minister of War.

"Your Highness, why do you seem to be distracted so often these past two days?" Wen Yan slowly put down the chess piece on his fingertips.

But his attention was not on the chessboard at all. He looked at Xiao Huanzhi inconspicuously, observing his expression.

"I met an interesting person... and her chess skills are comparable to mine. Next time there's a chance, I'll introduce you to her."

The swaying shadows of the bamboo fell on Xiao Huanzhi's handsome face, and the usual half-smile curve at the corner of his mouth softened a little inadvertently.

"Cough cough..."

Wen Yan looked at Xiao Huanzhi's expression, and for some reason, his heart suddenly felt sour. He coughed violently and coughed up a few traces of blood.

Xiao Huanzhi frowned and asked the servant to bring new tea.

"Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the imperial physician to come over." The servant took the order and left.

He regarded Wen Yan as a close friend, so he was naturally worried about his physical condition.

Seeing Xiao Huanzhi like this, Wen Yan felt more and more uncomfortable. If he hadn't suppressed himself, he would have told everyone that Zhu Baishao was a spy.

"Your Highness, can you tell me briefly about that person? I'm actually a little curious for a moment." Wen Yan clenched his handkerchief and said in a low voice.

Xiao Huanzhi glanced at his face and saw that it was no longer as pale as before, so he chuckled and said, "A cold beauty who is proud of the frost and snow, with superb chess skills, but a cold heart and a cold personality... She is hiding from me now, I will introduce her to you later."

There was still a smile and confidence in his words, as if he was sure that Zhu Baishao was in his pocket.
