The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 192: Discovering the Escaped Death Soldier
Two years later!
The temperature in early summer was not very hot, but two and a half year old An An had already started practicing martial arts. Qi Feng usually taught him, and Xiao Yibai would also teach him personally when he had time.
Every time An An practiced martial arts, Mu Xiyue would sit by and watch. It was not because she felt sorry for her son, but because she was worried that An An would not accept Qi Feng's discipline.
On the first day that An An practiced martial arts with Qi Feng, Qi Feng first taught An An how to squat in a horse stance. Unexpectedly, after squatting for a while, An An secretly threw a fireball at Qi Feng. Fortunately, the fireball only burned the hem of Qi Feng's clothes. If the fireball had hit his hair, Qi Feng would have become bald.
Qi Feng was very strict in teaching An An, and after learning the moves for half a year, An An had already mastered them quite well.
After Xiao Yibai finished the things at hand, he went to An An's yard to find Mu Xiyue. This was the time when An An practiced martial arts, and he knew that Mu Xiyue must be there.
Mu Xiyue turned around when she heard footsteps, "Are you done? Come and see how your son is doing in the fight. His little face looks quite imposing despite being tense."
Xiao Yibai sat down beside her and hugged her in his arms, "Yueyue, you can't always focus on your son. If I don't come to see you, won't you remember to go to the study to accompany your husband?"
The tone was quite resentful. Mu Xiyue raised her hand and pinched his face, "How come you are becoming more and more shameless? You are jealous of your own son. Look at what you are capable of."
Xiao Yibai held her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed her. "No one can surpass my position in your heart, not even your son, understand? In the future, someone will put your son first, and he will always be number one in your husband's heart."
After An An finished a set of punches, he trotted over to the two of them. Although his face was still tense, he clearly looked like he was asking for praise.
"An An has met Father and Mother. An An has finished training!"
Mu Xiyue took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off An An's face, then said with a smile, "Our An An is really amazing. Even Mother can't fight as well as An An."
An An pursed her lips and said, "An An is still too young and not strong enough. Uncle Qi Feng said that when An An grows up a little, he will be able to protect Mother."
He glanced at Xiao Yibai and added, "And father."
Mu Xiyue secretly pinched Xiao Yibai's waist, and Xiao Yibai gave An An a smile, "Well, An An has trained very well, even better than father when he was a child. Go take a shower after working up a sweat."
When An An heard that he was even more powerful than his father when he was a child, the corners of his mouth kept curling up, but he had to force himself to pretend to be calm, "Father is the most powerful, An An still needs to work harder, An An is going to take a shower."
Xiao Yibai reached out and touched An An's head, "Well, go ahead!"
Qi Feng took An An back to the house, and Xiao Yibai then took Mu Xiyue in his arms and walked out, "Why didn't Doudou come today?"
Doudou has also started learning martial arts, but he has just started practicing horse stance, so Qiyun threw his son to Qifeng to teach together.
Mu Xiyue took his arm and said, "Doudou twisted his ankle this morning and was kept in the room by Xiaotao. Ji Yun applied some medicine on him and said that children recover quickly and he should be fully healed in three days."
Of the two children, An'an is more serious, like a little old man, while Doudou is very lively, like a monkey all day long.
Mu Xiyue looked up at him and smiled as she spoke, "Were you like An An when you were a child? Such a small person with a serious expression. He looked quite majestic, hahaha!"
Xiao Yibai also smiled. "Well, I wasn't that noisy when I was little. An An is indeed a bit like me. Yueyue, I have to go out the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
Half a month ago, Tan Tai Hong took Xue Ying out for a trip. Before Xiao Yibai came over, he received a letter from Tan Tai Hong saying that they had discovered the Snow Peak and Snow Ridge.
Xuefeng and Xueling were among the assassins the Chen family had recruited from Dragon Ridge Mountain three years ago who escaped. Excluding Xueying, the group of assassins headed by the character "Xue" consisted of twenty-three in total, and eighteen of them escaped, with no trace left since. This group of assassins obeyed the Prince of Qi's orders directly. The Emperor had dispatched both the Divine Shadow Guard and the Dragon Guard to hunt them down, but they were unable to capture a single one.
Now this team of assassins has been discovered by Xueying in Cangwu Prefecture. It takes only four days for Cangwu Prefecture to reach the capital by carriage, and three days by horseback at the fastest speed.
Mu Xiyue was not surprised to hear this. The death warriors were the most loyal to their master. It must have been the King of Qi's order that these people hid in Cangwu.
"Have Brother Hong and Sister-in-law been discovered by each other?"
"Probably not. Brother Hong said that after they discovered those people, they have been wearing masks when going out, for fear that my cousin would be recognized by them."
"Should we tell father this news?" Mu Xiyue asked again.
Xiao Yibai shook his head. "We can't let Father know. Brother Hong has already asked Xiaoliu to cooperate in investigating this matter. I think it's better to go there. Brother Hong doesn't know much about King Qi's way of doing things."
The Emperor was largely aware of Xiao Yibai's power, and he had no intention of conducting a covert investigation, as this would alert the Emperor. He feared the Prince of Qi was playing a larger game, and if he could find solid evidence, he would not compromise this time.
Three years ago, when the Chen family fell, the Prince of Qi was completely eliminated. The emperor was afraid that Xiao Yibai would take revenge privately, so he specially called the couple into the palace and made it clear that if the Prince of Qi lost his qualifications as the crown prince, then Xiao Yibai would be immediately appointed as the prince.
The emperor did not want to force Xiao Yibai to succeed to the throne. He had already let down Xiao Yibai's mother, Queen Deming, so he hoped that Xiao Yibai could live the life he liked.
However, as the king of a country, he has the responsibility to ensure the better continuation of the Tianqi Kingdom. Before the seventh prince, Prince Duan, grows up, apart from Prince Xiao Yibai, Prince Qi is currently the most suitable candidate. He must ensure that the Xiao Dynasty has an heir.
If the emperor directly issued an edict to appoint Xiao Yibai as the crown prince, Xiao Yibai, as a prince, would have no way to refuse. Although he could eventually give the throne to other brothers, he did not want to take on this hot potato if he could avoid it.
Mu Xiyue couldn't bear to let Prince Qi live unharmed. Prince Qi's mansion was heavily guarded, and Prince Qi hid in the mansion and never went out. Mu Xiyue and Xiao Yibai took a lot of effort to sneak into Prince Qi's mansion and directly cut off Prince Qi's life.
Of course, it was Xiao Yibai who took action. Xiao Yibai would never let Mu Xiyue do such a thing.
The King of Qi has three daughters, two concubines and one legitimate daughter, but no son. If his life force is destroyed, it is equivalent to having no descendants. A prince without a son can only succeed to the throne if all other princes are dead.
After deposing the Prince of Qi, Mu Xiyue prepared for both scenarios. If the Emperor knew about the Prince of Qi's dethronement, at worst, he could make Xiao Yibai the Crown Prince. Even if the throne fell to him in the future, he could abdicate. If the Prince of Qi kept this a secret, he would still have no son, and the throne would not fall to him. He could then eliminate the Prince of Qi later, which would be a filial act to the Emperor.
During that time, the Emperor took over all the matters in the Prince of Qi's hands. He stayed in the palace all day and endured it. The Emperor still doesn't know that the Prince of Qi has lost his life.
However, last year, Princess Jiang Yurou of Qi gave birth to a son. This event made Mu Xiyue's understanding of King Qi deepen a lot. King Qi is a ruthless man who can endure things that ordinary people cannot endure.
It is not known whether the Princess of Qi became pregnant with this son at the instruction of the King of Qi or because she had an affair. But no matter which one it is, the King of Qi, a man without a penis, knew very well that this son was not his.
