My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

After all this trouble, it was already the end of the year, and the Duke of Zhenguo was invited back to the capital by an imperial edict, and the Su family could finally have a reunion year.

This year was too turbulent, and many families were broken up. Su Muxi didn't want to be too high-profile, so he just set up a few tables in the yard and the whole family gathered together to have fun.

However, there were two more people at today’s reunion dinner, one was Zhao Siyu who followed her second brother, and the other was Xiao Yunjin who came to the door with a flattering attitude.

The second brother found out later that the servant beside him, after becoming a little maid, deceived him again, and her real identity turned out to be the daughter of Marquis Jian'an, Zhao Siyu.

Or maybe his sister couldn't stand it anymore and told him that he had clearly seen Zhao Siyu before, but he didn't dare to associate them together, which made everyone who knew her identity dumbfounded.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat," Zhao Siyu skillfully picked up some food for Su Muchao. She sat at the Su family's banquet without feeling uncomfortable at all. Instead, she felt happy to be part of the group.

"You eat too," Su Muchao glanced at Zhao Siyu, then buried his head in eating. How come Zhao Siyu looked so beautiful in women's clothes? Su Muchao's heart was pounding.

At that time, he knew Zhao Siyu's identity. When he went to question her, she was very confident and even called him stupid. She said that she followed him because she liked him, and she even forced him into a corner and kissed him forcefully.

The more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat. Su Muchao almost buried her face in the bowl. How could a girl be so shameless?

"Second brother."

Su Muxi's call of "Second Brother" startled Su Muchao. He raised his head and asked dazedly, "What's wrong?" He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he had no idea what had happened on the table.

When Su Muxi saw his second brother's look, he found it funny, "Second brother, Miss Siyu is your honored guest, why don't you greet her but let someone serve you food instead?"

As she spoke, she picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Miss Siyu, I'll toast you a glass. Eat and drink well today, don't be restrained."

Zhao Siyu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Princess, you are too polite. The Second Young Master treats me very well. It is my duty to serve him food. Don't you agree, Prince Jin?"

It will divert trouble to someone else. Xiao Yunjin put the dishes on Su Muxi's plate and picked up the wine glass. "Miss Zhao is right. We are all family. Just be at ease."

Who are we family members? Su Muxi glanced at Xiao Yunjin and drank the wine in the glass.

Su Muchao realized it belatedly and felt that Zhao Siyu was supporting him. He had never gotten along well with his younger sister before, and thought that he would be teased by her again before things would end. Unexpectedly, today Zhao Siyu's words made his younger sister shut up.

Su Muchao was delighted, and he also picked up some food for Zhao Siyu, "You, don't just focus on me, eat too."

Zhao Siyu smiled, "Thank you, Second Young Master."

It was simply unbearable to watch. Just as Su Muxi picked up the chopsticks, another dish appeared on the plate.

"This is delicious," Xiao Yunjin also looked at Su Muxi with a smile.

Su Muxi took the lead and the table became lively. The Duke of Zhenguo drank with Xiao Yunjin, and the Lady of Zhenguo also pulled Zhao Siyu to get closer to her. She didn't expect that her naive son found a new wife after breaking off the engagement.

Now that the Duke of Zhenguo has become the most distinguished nobleman in the court, many people have come to him to seek marriage. It would be just right for him to find an orphan girl without attracting much attention.

Thinking of the second son, one can't help but think of the third son. Ever since the An family got into trouble, the third son has been living in the Anguo Mansion. The wife of the Zhenguo Duke had a vague sense of it, but the other person was already dead, so what else could she do? She could only let him die in his heart.

Besides the third brother, An Min was also silent at the table. If she hadn't invited them today, they probably wouldn't even want to eat the reunion dinner.

Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, under the sky full of fireworks, Su Muxi welcomed a new beginning.

Happiness always has to come to an end. After the new year, the Duke of Zhenguo will go to the northwest to guard the city. Guanshan City will be taken over by Su Muchuan, and Jingyu City will be taken over by Su Muchao. Su Muxi will still be the commander of her border defense camp.

Lady Zhenguo did not go to the northwest this time, but stayed in the capital. One reason was to take care of Nian'an's mansion, and the other was that Lady Zhenguo had to arrange the wedding of the second son.

Su Muxi was annoyed by Xiao Yunjin's pestering. Relying on his high martial arts skills, this man would come to the house every night. According to him, if Su Muxi didn't want to marry him and become Princess Jin, he could marry her and become the princess's consort.

His behavior made it difficult for the secret guards in the mansion, so Su Muxi simply took Tuanzi and Yuanzi back to the princess's mansion.

This was what Xiao Yunjin wanted. Whenever he had time, day or night, he would go to the princess's mansion. If he couldn't get in through the gate, he could fly into the sky. If that didn't work, he could go underground.

Tuanzi and Goshawk had a rivalry because Goshawk was good at Qinggong. In order to facilitate Xiao Yunjin's night visit to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he lured her away from the mountain to a wild hillside in the suburbs.

Tuanzi is a fearless person, but she is particularly afraid of snakes. The wild hillside is densely shaded by trees, and even in winter, the ground is covered with rotten leaves and roots. Unfortunately, Tuanzi is unlucky, and the snakes' nests were stepped on by her while they were hibernating.

Tuanzi was so frightened that he would whip the hawk whenever he saw it.

"Don't run away, old eagle. I will definitely break your wings today."

As soon as she heard the sound coming from outside, Yuanzi knew that Prince Jin was coming to see her princess again. She quickly put down her hair and stood up. If the sight of a goshawk seeing Tuanzi is like a mouse seeing a cat, then she would be scared half to death when she saw Prince Jin.

Tuanzi was in charge of external affairs, while she was in charge of internal affairs. She was responsible for all the princess's household affairs. But every time Prince Jin came and saw her serving him, his eyes could burn a hole in her.

She didn't notice it at first, until one day when she was applying lip balm to the princess, she was seen by Prince Jin, who actually asked the cold-faced secret guard beside him to fight with her for a whole day.

She is not Tuanzi. She knows martial arts, but she is not good at it. The key point is that she cannot win. She has been teased for the whole day and she is scared from the bottom of her heart. So every time Prince Jin comes, she will hide if possible.

Su Muxi also knew that Xiao Yunjin was difficult to deal with, so she raised her hand and asked Yuanzi to leave first.

Just at this moment, Xiao Yunjin came in, "You came at the right time today, I will braid the princess' hair."

Su Muxi stood up from the chaise longue, her half-dried hair draped over her back, with some strands falling on her chest. "Xiao Yunjin, how many times do you want me to tell you that you came here uninvited and are annoying."

Xiao Yunjin was a step slower, feeling a little pity. Looking at Su Muxi, who was like a lotus emerging from the water, his throat couldn't help but roll twice, "Princess, what are you talking about? I clearly told you this morning that I would come over in the evening."

In her previous life, she had experienced how difficult Xiao Yunjin was to deal with, but she hadn't expected that in this life, he would become a chatterbox. As long as he was with her, the aloof Prince Jin would disappear.

Seeing Xiao Yunjin approaching again, Su Muxi stood up and dodged. She dodged but a strand of her hair was caught. "Xi'er, what kind of perfume did you use today? Why is it so fragrant?"

"Xiao Yunjin, that's enough. If you keep talking, I don't mind fighting with you again."

"It would be nice to have a fight. I miss my wife." Xiao Yunjin was still very excited when he thought of the previous invitations. Although using force is not good for a relationship, it also has unexpected benefits.

If he hits me five times, there will be one time when Su Muxi will feel sorry for his wound and let me do whatever I want.

Su Muxi knew what Xiao Yunjin was planning at once, and she slapped him, "Let you think about it."

Xiao Yunjin raised his hand to block it, "Xi'er, I was wrong. I was blinded by lust and I couldn't resist the temptation. Can you please not be angry?"

The two of them exchanged a few moves, during which Xiao Yunjin took advantage of the situation, touching hands and hugging waists. He had already mastered the art.

Beating is love and scolding is love. Xiao Yunjin felt that he would be able to win Su Muxi in no time. Just when he was enjoying his happiness, he was interrupted by a voice.

"Princess, Eunuch Lin is here and waiting in the front yard. He wants you to come to the palace immediately."

As soon as Su Muxi stopped, Xiao Yunjin hugged her tightly, "Why are you here so late at night? He has been the emperor for more than 20 years. What does he want you to solve?"

Su Muxi pushed him away and said, "Maybe it's urgent. I'll go and take a look."

"I'll be with you," Xiao Yunjin covered his chest, a slight pain spreading from his heart. Su Muxi unconsciously pushed on the wound on his chest.

"I'll be there," Su Muxi saw Xiao Yunjin's abnormality and bit her lip subconsciously, "You can rest here! Otherwise, the emperor will see you and become suspicious again."

Su Muxi put on her coat and left. Xiao Yunjin looked at her back and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

Su Muxi didn't expect that after a new year, the emperor would become so weak that he couldn't even get out of bed.

"Your Majesty, what do you want?"

"Su Muxi, I can trust you, right?"

"Yes." Su Muxi nodded. As soon as she saw the situation, she knew that the emperor was preparing to entrust his son to the care of others.

"Xiao Yunjin's background is questionable, and his actions are strange and hard to guess. I am really worried."

The emperor struggled to get up, and Su Muxi hurried forward to support him.

"I don't have much time left. Compared to Xiao Yunjin, I trust you more," the emperor held Su Muxi's hand tightly, "You are courageous and resourceful. Even if the Great Yun Dynasty takes your surname Su, it will be a good thing for the Great Yun Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. The Su family has been loyal to us for generations. Mu Xi is also a member of the Su family and will never go against our ancestors' wishes."

"Okay, okay, I am too narrow-minded," the emperor grabbed Su Muxi's hand again before handing an imperial edict to Su Muxi.

"I appoint you as the regent princess to assist Xiao Yunzhi," the emperor pressed the imperial edict into Su Muxi's hand and pushed her fingers to help her clench them tightly, "I entrust the Great Yun Dynasty to you."

"Your Majesty, long live long live long live."

"Where does the 'Long live' come from?" The emperor knew that his energy had reached the end of his life. He had to give Su Muxi absolute power and trust in order to bet on Su Muxi's loyalty.

"I will make an announcement tomorrow to resolve your worries."

"I obey your command." Having said this, if Su Muxi did not accept the imperial edict, it would make the emperor uneasy. Anyway, she had no intention of becoming an emperor, so she might as well follow the emperor's wishes.

"well."

****

Three years later.

As the end of the year approached, the envoys from the Feng Kingdom came to visit. The little emperor sat steadily on the dragon throne. He first looked at Su Muxi, and after receiving a positive look, he slowly raised his hand and said, "You are a guest, envoys, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, my emperor. Long live your majesty."

Jin Chengyun slowly straightened up, nodded to Su Muxi, and then returned to his seat and sat down.

Su Muxi sat next to the little emperor, wearing a dark red gilded official uniform and a dragon and phoenix crown made of rubies on her head, looking majestic and noble.

After the little emperor finished speaking, she picked up the wine glass and stood up, "You all have come from afar, and the great Yunchao is honored. Today, my emperor is hosting a banquet, and I wish that Yunchao Fengguo will have eternal peace."

Normally, the Feng Kingdom should have come to pay tribute three years ago, but there was unrest in the Feng Kingdom and the Dayun Dynasty also experienced a change of imperial power, so the banquet was delayed by three years.

After the banquet, Su Muxi sent the little emperor back to his bedroom and then returned to the princess's mansion.

The princess's mansion was empty. Three years ago, Su Muxi was summoned into the palace by the emperor and was named the regent princess to assist the little emperor. Xiao Yunjin should have been anxious since she had not returned for one night. However, she never expected that after she slapped him, Xiao Yunjin disappeared from her sight.

For three whole years, Su Muxi had no idea whether Xiao Yunjin was dead or alive. During these three years, she had been busy and exhausted in order to stabilize the court and deal with He Yuncheng.

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, or maybe it was because of the sad scene, Su Muxi suddenly felt sad.

Su Muxi took out the black jade from her arms. The cool temperature made her sober up a little, but then she became confused again.

Light snowflakes floated down from the sky, landing on the empty princess mansion, on her dark red dress, and on her face. Her vision blurred. Was it the snow melting in her eyes, or was it because she was drunk and hazy? She actually seemed to see Xiao Yunjin.

"It's a cold night, and this is how you take care of yourself."

"Xiao Yunjin, you entered my dream." Su Muxi stroked the other's eyebrows and felt that this dream was somewhat real.

"It's been three years, and the Heart-Eating Gu didn't kill you?"

"It's been three years, and Madam still wants me to die." Xiao Yunjin grabbed the hand that was caressing his face, and felt it was as cold as jade. He was a little angry and hugged the person into his arms, "I've been thinking about you all my life, and I'm afraid you'll find someone else, and I'm also afraid you'll hate me because you left."

Xiao Yunjin and his men flew down from the roof of the pavilion and walked towards the dormitory.

Su Muxi smiled, and she leaned into his arms, feeling that the sky was spinning. She reached out to catch the falling snow, "I must be drunk, otherwise why would I have such a wet dream, and it was about that bastard Xiao Yunjin."

Xiao Yunjin looked down at her. There were tears in her eyes, but a smile on her lips. With just one glance, Xiao Yunjin felt his heart break. "It's not a dream, Xier, I'm back."

He bent down to kiss Su Muxi and comfort her. He had suddenly suffered an attack of the heart-eating poison and was in unbearable pain. The medicine prescribed by Mr. Chengnan could not suppress it. He was in a dilemma.

Should he keep his last life and accompany Su Muxi, or go to the Rain Country to fight for his life.

If he lives, he will come to ask Su Muxi for forgiveness; if he dies, he will lose Su Muxi forever.

He won a life, but he regretted it. He regretted letting Su Muxi live alone for three years.

As soon as he touched Su Muxi's lips, he could not stop missing her even more. He wished he could eat Su Muxi into his stomach and melt her into his bones and blood.

Su Muxi groaned in pain as Xiao Yunjin penetrated her directly.

The yard was empty, as everyone had been led away by Cang Ying Cang Jue long ago. Xiao Yunjin was holding Su Muxi and running fast as if no one was around, while lowering his head to hook Su Muxi and entangle with her.

After entering the room and closing the door, Xiao Yunjin didn't even want to take the few steps to the inner room, so he pushed the person against the door and kissed him.

Su Muxi finally woke up from his drunkenness. He was suffocating due to lack of oxygen, but he still hugged the person in front of him tightly. Fortunately, Xiao Yunjin was not dead.

As Xiao Yunjin kissed her, he tasted the salty tears. He let go of Su Muxi a little and wiped her tears with his hands, "Don't cry, I'm back, Xi'er, don't cry."

As he said this, he kissed her tears again, with guilt and joy.

Su Muxi's hand was around his neck. "Xiao Yunjin, I finally waited for you."

After three years of waiting, Su Muxi figured out a lot of things: the more she loved, the more she hated.

The love in the previous life turned into hatred that could spread across the prairie, but at the end of this life, they found that they were all pawns in the hands of others. It was not Xiao Yunjin who dragged her into the game, but the Su family had already entered the game twenty years ago. Everything was just fate.

Xiao Yunjin thought that his departure would make Su Muxi hate him or relieve him, but he did not expect to receive a response from Su Muxi. Xiao Yunjin's heart was beating violently, and his lively and passionate heart was telling of his excitement.

He wanted to tell Su Muxi about this passion. He wanted her to know that he had missed her deeply during these three years.

Su Muxi couldn't stand his passion, "Go to bed, Xiao Yunjin, you bastard."
