In an instant, a strange atmosphere filled the air.

Xie Ci's pupils trembled, and he turned his head to look at Mu Yao in shock. He clenched the slender waist in his hands, as if he wanted to confirm once again that the woman next to him was his wife.

Mu Yao felt the force on her waist, but she didn't dare look at him. The surrounding people gasped and whispered, and soon they condensed into a noisy sound again.

Her nerves were extremely tense, as if there was an invisible wall of steel surrounding her, isolating her from all the noise.

It was dark before my eyes, and it was so quiet that the only sound I could hear was my own heartbeat.

Mu Yao had guessed about Han Qi's identity, but had never thought that he would be an emperor.

If he was only the leader of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion, I believe it would not be too difficult to get rid of him by relying on the strength of several husbands. But if he was the King of Southern Xinjiang...

Thoughts are racing through my head, and every cell is active to its highest point.

Mu Yao stared at the man sitting on the high seat. Her eyes regained composure at an extremely fast speed, and eventually became the same color as his—a dark color as deep as a lake.

"Aqi, my father will be arriving in Beiming in the next two days." Mu Yao suddenly smiled and said calmly.

Xie Ci closed his eyes, and with trembling eyelids, he forced himself to accept this fact. He shouldn't have brought Mu Yao to this Hundred Flowers Banquet! He had never regretted it as much as he did today.

Murong Chen secretly clenched his fists, his beautiful eyebrows trembling slightly due to excessive excitement. A strong gossip heart arose spontaneously. Did his national teacher rob the emperor and empress of Nanjiang? Or did this noble lady willingly give up the throne of emperor and empress for his national teacher?

No matter what the truth is, they, Bei Ming, have earned enough face!

Murong Chen's eyes had completely shifted to the face of the Southern Xinjiang Emperor. He looked carefully and found that Ji Qi's eyes had changed and became intriguing.

Ji Qinghe never expected that things would develop in this direction, and his face was full of confusion. For the first time in his life, he fell in love with a girl, but he couldn't chase her, let alone snatch her away. He couldn't help but doubt himself deeply. Why did he support Ji Qi to seize the throne? Now, he even lost his wife.

"Come and sit down." Ji Qi's expression was calm, but there was a hint of pleasure hidden in his voice.

Xie Ci's big hand covering Mu Yao's waist never loosened from beginning to end. Hearing the Southern Frontier Emperor's inappropriate dirty words, he exerted force and pulled Mu Yao into his arms.

Ji Qi had already reached the breaking point. He glanced at Murong Chen and said unhappily, "Emperor Bei Ming, what does your Imperial Master mean? Is this how Bei Ming welcomes the Emperor and shows his sincerity?"

Murong Chen was so absorbed in enjoying the show that he suddenly became angry. He awkwardly shifted his gaze to Xie Ci, but saw that the Imperial Master was looking at him with a stern expression, which immediately put him in a dilemma.

What should he do? He had to help the Imperial Master and negotiate with the coalition forces in Southern Xinjiang.

After three breaths, he said, "Ms. Mu, I want to know which came first, your engagement with the Southern Xinjiang Emperor or the Imperial Preceptor?

Mu Yao's eyelids twitched.

... All missing a piece of paper.

But - she can round it off.

Mu Yao bowed slightly towards Murong Chen, but looked at Ji Qi and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has already met my father."

Hmm? Is there something else behind your words?

Murong Chen pondered quickly.

When Mu Yao saw Ji Qi sucking his cheek slightly, she knew that he understood.

Xie Ci pondered over Mu Yao's words and seemed to understand something. He nodded in agreement.

Ji Qi's whole handsome face was filled with gloomy clouds. His index finger repeatedly stroked the jade ring. The restraint he tried so hard to maintain on his face was about to fail.

Could it be that I didn't express it clearly enough at the beginning?

With his status, being able to keep Xu Qingcheng and Helian Yun was already the limit of his tolerance. This woman was ungrateful and remarried.

How many days have passed since we parted? She can't even wait for this little time?

Thank you! Thank you!

The look Ji Qi gave him was like a sudden roar of rain and flying frost, and his heart was filled with jealousy that was about to erupt.

Murong Chen sensed the murderous intent from the Southern Frontier Emperor, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Southern Frontier Emperor, there may be some misunderstandings among you. It doesn't matter if you wait for a while, why don't you talk after the banquet? Besides, Li Taifu will arrive in Beiming soon, and we can discuss any ideas with him.

Noble Lady Mu has mentioned Tutor Li twice, so let’s bring up her father to put an end to it.

So many civil and military officials are watching. This melon is definitely eaten by Xianshui City.

Since the host had spoken, Ji Qi said no more.

Xie Ci brought Mu Yao back to his seat and drank the jade liquid in the cup in one gulp.

Seeing his gloomy face, Xie Anran swallowed the greeting that was about to come out of her mouth.

Li Bin looked at the colorful glass bracelet on Mu Yao's left wrist thoughtfully, and then looked at Mu Yao calmly again, then turned his eyes and whispered to his wife, "An Ran, I think your sister-in-law doesn't look well. She can't eat sitting here, so why don't you take her to the women's side hall to rest and eat some warm food?"

Xie Anran was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised by her husband's suggestion. She turned to the left and saw that it was indeed the case.

When Mu Yao saw Xie Ci drink the third cup, she called out distressedly, "Ah Ci."

Xie Ci was slightly tipsy. He exhaled a breath, turned to Mu Yao and said as usual, "Nothing." After he finished speaking, he picked up a piece of pine nut and lily pastry and placed it on her plate.

Ji Qi's eyes have never left Mu Yao since she entered the hall.

The intimate behavior between Mu Yao and Xie Ci made him extremely unhappy.

He laughed in anger, with a hint of ambiguous smile on his lips. Perhaps Ji Qi's gaze was too sharp, and Mu Yao couldn't ignore it. After noticing it, she paused and glared back unwillingly.

The beauty was so charming when she was angry. Her cute and angry look made Ji Qi raise his eyebrows slightly, and he felt itchy.

When I saw you today, the pain of missing you for days was like a dam bursting and could no longer be controlled.

Now that she knew her identity, there was no reason to let her leave.
