Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

"Your mother, a woman, caused me to lose my parents, my family to be broken up, and I have been displaced since I was a child. Her life is not enough to repay these debts!"

"This is not cause, this is effect! This is your father..." She couldn't stand it any longer. Doesn't this guy have any values?

Xiao Ze suddenly grabbed her neck with his other hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

While she was living a carefree life in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was struggling for food and drink among the refugees.

While she was practicing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, he was fighting desperately in the military camp, and all this was because her mother ran away from her marriage on the day of her wedding.

Isn't that woman just a helpless second-hand commodity? My father is the Marquis of Zhongning and is willing to marry her as a concubine, but she dared to run away from the marriage!

This mother and daughter are really both overestimating their own abilities and not knowing how high the sky and how deep the earth are!

"Uh..." She couldn't breathe for a moment and her feet almost left the ground.

The next second, Xiao Ze's eyes suddenly turned cold. He pushed Feng Xili away, turned around, and crossed his arms to block the blade that was suddenly slashing towards his back.

Sparks appeared on the arm guard, illuminating the face of the attacker, but making his heart sink. His calm eyes flashed with a cold light.

These are not ordinary guards, they are either death squads or secret guards.

Is there someone like this secretly protecting this girl? Xiao Ze attacked her a few times, but knowing he was no match for her, he feinted and fled.

Feng Xili was pushed against the wall, her back hurt so much that she saw stars. When she looked up, Xiao Ze was gone.

There was a masked man standing in front of her. When he saw Xiao Ze running away, he didn't chase her. Instead, he examined her from head to toe. Seeing that there was nothing serious, he bowed and clasped his fists.

Then, as if there were springs under his feet, he jumped onto the wall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She covered her face, as expected.

The same.

Is this considered cheating? Dreaming a little more can help you avoid future risks?

When she dragged her tired body back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she fell asleep immediately.

It was not until noon that Feng Xili slowly woke up. With her status, she did not have to pay her respects to the Prime Minister's wife every day. It was truly a blessing from heaven.

General Mingwei's Mansion.

Xiao Ze stood in the study with a cold look on his face. The woman was actually protected by secret guards. Logically speaking, her wealth was not enough to afford secret guards. When he approached her yesterday, he seemed to smell the scent of medicine on her.

Is she sick? So they sent someone to protect her? That doesn't make sense. Could it be? Is she injured?

He rubbed his fingertips habitually, thinking carefully.

I haven't been able to find the nanny yet, but I can start by investigating from her side. The Prime Minister actually agreed to cancel the engagement. Did he know something?

He frowned. This woman was so difficult to deal with. First it was because of Jin Yue, and now it was Nanny Jiang. This woman really clashed with him.

Zixiang Palace.

Mu Lanxun stood in front of the window, with a young woman half-kneeling behind him.

"Xia Feng, just continue to protect your sister in secret. Go ahead."

He was still looking out the window, and the fragrance of the locust flowers on the old locust tree was lingering in the air.

"Is Xiao Ze going on a long journey?" he asked softly.

Yuan Ri, who was standing next to him, bowed his head and replied, "He requested permission this morning to go to the border to quell the rebellion, and the emperor has granted his permission."

In this case, the bad deeds of Xiao Ze and his group cannot be exposed for the time being. The emperor is using them, and unless it is a big deal, it will probably not cause any waves.

"Master, the girl is here."

Yuanri saw the figure from a distance.

When Feng Xili pushed the door open, Mu Lanxun was already sitting behind the desk, reading a book, looking eager to learn.

She rolled her eyes. It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and he was showing her a women's ring? Did he think she was stupid?

Too lazy to expose him, she turned around and sat opposite him, complacently poured herself a cup of tea, sipping it while looking at him with a half-smile.

He put down the book, and the two big words "Female Ring" caught his eye. His face turned red. How could there be such a book on my desk?

In a blink of an eye, he calmly put the book back on the bookshelf beside him.

"Sister, how come you have time to come and see me?" He looked surprised and very well-behaved.

Feng Xili looked at him. Ever since he came here, he had been in constant trouble. Tian Xu always stuck to him, while this guy always ran around.

But if it weren't for him, I might be deeply trapped in public opinion now. After all, it was he who saved me, and more than once.

She was feeling complicated. Mu Mu kept saying that his sister had done him a great favor, but that favor was not given by her. Could she really accept Mu Mu's reward with peace of mind?

She sighed softly and stared at him with burning eyes.

He stood up, took a step back, and with a serious face, performed a great gift of this era to Mu Lanxun.

Mu Mu stood up in a panic and was about to come over to help her, but she froze him in place with a look.

"Mu Mu, you know something about my origins. Although I am not her, I have to live well for her."

Feng Xili's expression was very sad, and Mu Mu's eyes dimmed instantly.

"You played an indispensable role in my escape from Xiao Ze's humiliation. And when I was held hostage that day, you did your best to save me. I know all about that. I owe it to you, so."

She laughed at herself, she had to remind herself all the time that others had planted trees and she had enjoyed the shade, so she still had to repay the favor.

"Given your true identity, there's nothing wrong with accepting my gift. What's more, you've saved me from danger several times."

This guy has been hiding a lot of things from her, and he also knows some of her background, so it would be better for her to take the initiative and appear more sincere.

Mu Lanxun smiled faintly. To be honest, there was a big difference between the two of them. The lively and aloofness that she inadvertently revealed was completely different from her sister's light and cold feeling.

"Your willingness to live here for your sister is the best reward for me." Mu Mu walked over and solemnly helped her up.

It seemed as if at this moment, he was the next crown prince, rather than a hostage trapped in another country.

Feng Xili smiled brightly and patted his shoulder, good brother!

"Okay, I will live a good life." Next, it's time to get down to business.

She stood up, patted her skirt, then sat back down with a smile and continued drinking her tea.

The tea here by Mu Mu is no worse than the tea collected by Tian Xu, which is enough to show that he has his own way.

There was a smile in Mu Lanxun's eyes. This sister's cheerful and lively style was really charming!

"You already know what happened last night, right?" She shrugged and asked him lightly.

He paused, turned around and sat opposite him. So that's what it was!

This sister wants to be a sensible person.

"Well, I have something that needs to be verified. Let's go to Zui Xiang Lou at midnight tonight." Feng Xili said softly. One must be extremely cautious when it comes to things in the future that can be dreamed of.

Mu Lanxun's eyes narrowed. How did she know that he was going to Zui Xiang Lou at night?
