Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1939

Cen Ji is dead? Shi Anxia paused for a moment, raised her eyes and looked at Cen Yuan with doubt.

The man stood tall in the lamplight, with water dripping from the ends of his hair, which slid down his neck into his collar, glowing faintly in the mist from the bathroom.

She put down the account book, took the handkerchief from his hand, and said softly, "Sit down." Then she asked, "How did he die?"

He sat as he was told, with his back to her, his shoulders as tense as an unsheathed sword.

Shi Anxia ran her fingertips through his wet hair, wrapped a strand of hair with the handkerchief, and slowly wrung out the water marks.

"Cen Ji died in Yefeng Valley, only a few hundred steps away from the Liang State boundary marker." Cen Yuan said calmly, as if talking about the temperature of the climate. "The people of Wan State took action and wanted to put the blame on Beiyi, intending to provoke a dispute between the two countries."

The towel was soaked with water and felt heavy. Shi Anxia changed the corner and continued to wipe, "What happened next?"

Cen Yuan said calmly, "My people have taken care of the aftermath, leaving one person alive. You should give the credit to Zhao Zhui."

The couple discussed for half the night, and spent another half the night in love, without interrupting their work or personal affairs, only their sleep.

The next day, with dark circles under his eyes, Anxia sent people to look for Cen Che.

Cen Che boasted to Xie Huai, "Look, I am the only one in front of the princess. As soon as she arrived at Tiema City, she sent people to look for me. Your Xie family still has to rely on me."

Xie Huai was worried, "Could it be that the princess knows your identity?"

Cen Che waved his hand, "That can't be possible."

The princess is stupid and her subordinates are busy, so who would check on him, a man busy with disaster relief?

He went to Chongyang Pavilion in a leisurely manner.

Xie Huai was worried, so he dropped his work and chased after her. His eyelids were twitching, and he felt that deceiving the princess was a capital crime.

He caught up with Cen Che at the entrance of the inn.

Cen Che frowned, "Why can't you leave me for even a moment?"

Xie Huai grabbed his sleeve and walked to the stone lion at the door, lowering his voice and saying, "I'm going to surrender myself to the princess and tell her the truth."

Cen Che was so angry that his eyebrows were throbbing. He pushed Xie Huai and said, "How dare you!" But he was afraid of angering the other party, so he could only soften his voice and said, "You come with me to see the princess, okay? But you can't talk nonsense, otherwise your Xie family will be in danger."

Xie Huai said "surrender" on impulse. Seeing the other party lowered his head, he sullenly agreed, "Then I will go with you to see the princess and hear what I want to see you about."

"Of course it's a good thing." Cen Che said with confidence.

The two men entered the inn, and the doorman, who had been instructed in advance, led the way for them.

The inn is big but not luxurious, and the items inside are a bit old.

Cen Che whispered to Xie Huai, "Later on, replace all the things in this inn with new ones for the princess. Don't be reluctant to spend the money, the title is more important."

Xie Huai nodded heavily with a sad face.

However, Cen Che's eyes lit up as he watched the girl he liked coming out from the moon-shaped door next to him from afar.

He hurried over to greet her, "Miss Hongque, nice to see you again."

Hongque took several steps back cautiously.

Suddenly a big white dog jumped out from behind the girl, its sharp teeth shining coldly, and bit Cen Che's wrist.

Hong Que cried out, "Dabai, no!"

The big white dog then retracted its white teeth, leaving only a faint tooth mark on the sleeve of Cen Che's wrist.

Cen Che was still in shock. At that moment, he thought he could not save his wrist.

He hates dogs!

As soon as he was free, he glared at the big white dog.

The big white dog suddenly let out a low growl from its throat and bared its teeth, as if it was going to pounce on him the next moment.
