Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Prince Rui sent a visiting card yesterday and will come in person tomorrow to apologize for what happened to Mu Xueyan last time.

Because of Chu Xuanhan's relationship, Mo Zhaohua didn't think that he was just apologizing, and was afraid that he had other intentions.

Chu Xuanchi's attention was finally diverted. "I will talk to Xueyan about this today so that she can be prepared tomorrow."

Mo Zhaohua asked him, "Miss Mu is now in your hands. I wonder what your husband is going to do with Master Xiao?"

Prince Rui will stay for dinner tomorrow, so a banquet will naturally be held in the mansion. As Xiao Yan is a guest, she is not sure whether she should also invite him to the table.

Chu Xuanchi thought for a moment and said, "His identity is already in doubt. Until he is confirmed to be trustworthy, let's not let him contact Old Seven for the time being."

"Okay." Just as he had finished drinking the ginseng soup, Mo Zhaohua took out a handkerchief and wiped the slightly moist corners of his mouth.

Chu Xuanchi grabbed her hand and said, "Zhao Zhao, my foundation in Shengjing is too weak. If I get into danger, you will be implicated as well."

The last time he went to the East Palace, he saw the gap between himself and the prince just from the rumors the prince spread, and then the doctor’s incident happened.

Also in Shengjing City, everyone else had already finished their fight, and he just rushed over. What if someone wanted to kill him?

Therefore, what he could not let go of was not only the doctor's death, but also the worry about the future. He was afraid that he would not be able to protect the people he cared about.

Mo Zhaohua held his hand tightly and said firmly, "It doesn't matter. No matter what happens, I will face it together with my husband."

Chu Xuanchi didn't see any fear in her eyes, "Zhao Zhao, aren't you afraid?"

Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. At worst, I will survive in the face of death."

After experiencing the horrific tragedy in her previous life, what was this little crisis like now to her?

Chu Xuanchi always felt that he had implicated her, "Zhao Zhao..."

"Don't be afraid, my husband. If you can't escape, at least you won't be alone on the road to the underworld."

Mo Zhaohua's gentle consolation and companionship through life and death finally made Chu Xuanchi feel better and he was no longer so worried.

He expressed his sincere gratitude, "If I didn't have Zhao Zhao, I wouldn't know how to deal with it. Having you in my life is really enough."

Mo Zhaohua talked to him for a while, then stood up and left. "My husband, please get busy. Don't think too much. I will go back to the courtyard first."

After she left, Chu Xuanchi lamented, "If Xueyan's mind could be half as delicate as the princess', I wouldn't have to worry so much."

The more Wuying interacted with Mo Zhaohua, the more he admired her. "The princess is beautiful and intelligent, and her wisdom is unparalleled. How can ordinary people compare to her?"

Chu Xuanchi couldn't help but sigh again, "Yes, such a perceptive woman has become my wife. How lucky I am."

Wuying took the opportunity to persuade him, "So, Your Majesty, even if it's for the princess, you should stop worrying about it and cheer up."

Chu Xuanchi laughed at himself, "I am not as clear-headed as you now."

Wuying quickly explained, "Master, you misunderstood. That is not what I meant."

"No need to explain. I know what you mean. Regardless of whether I will return to Southern Xinjiang in the future, I must have my own power in Shengjing City."

Even if Chu Xuanchi will return to Southern Xinjiang in the future, there are people in Shengjing City that Mo Zhaohua cares about, so he naturally has to be able to protect them.

They were no longer just her family; from the day of their marriage, they had also become his family, giving him family warmth.

***

The next morning.

Prince Rui came to Prince Yu's Palace with gifts.

Most of them are rouge, powder, jewelry, head ornaments, and silks and satins.

Mu Xueyan knew about this yesterday and didn't bother to be polite with him, letting Tao Yao accept them all.

"I am truly sorry, but I have been busy with official duties these days and am not available during the day, and it is not convenient for me to see you at night."

Prince Rui has a rather cold temperament, his abilities are mediocre and not outstanding enough, his mother's family is weak, and he has neither made any achievements nor made any mistakes in his official duties.

In addition, Emperor Wenzong had many children, so he was often overlooked, and even if there was a good job, it would be difficult for him to be thought of.

This time I have a rare good job, so I must do my best to do it well, and other things will have to be put on the back burner.

Mu Xueyan said indifferently: "It doesn't matter to me, it's just that you have too many rules in Shengjing, and there are strict rules for men and women. It's tiring to hear about it."

King Rui has lived in Shengjing for a long time and doesn't know much about the customs of the people outside. He can't help but be curious, "Does Southern Xinjiang not care about the separation of men and women?"

Mu Xueyan said confidently, "Of course, our people in Southern Xinjiang are simple and honest, and it is normal for men and women to work together."

Chu Xuanchi stopped her immediately, "Xue'er, stop talking nonsense. No matter where you are, you must be careful about the affairs between men and women to avoid humiliating your innocence."

Mu Xueyan retorted dissatisfiedly, "I'm not talking nonsense. Southern Xinjiang is not like Shengjing. Men and women can't even be friends."

She has three or five good friends in southern Xinjiang, both men and women, but since coming to Shengjing City, she is not allowed to get too close to the opposite sex.

King Rui asked her with a smile, "Miss Mu, you are new here, but you feel too lonely and want to make more friends?"

Mu Xueyan was quite interested in him. "Yeah, I'm almost bored to death in this mansion."

After all, apart from Xiao Yan, this is the second person she met since leaving Southern Xinjiang.

Prince Rui spoke for Chu Xuanchi, "Fifth brother should be worried that the young lady has just arrived in Shengjing and doesn't understand this place very well, and might cause trouble."

Chu Xuanchi took the opportunity to say, "Xue'er, look, everyone can understand me, but you are the only one who doesn't understand my good intentions."

Mu Xueyan wrinkled her nose. "Shengjing is really troublesome. Xue'er wants to go back to Southern Xinjiang."

Prince Rui comforted her, "It's not a problem. Miss Mu just arrived and is not used to it yet. She will be fine after living here for a few days."

Ever since Mu Xueyan went out once, she has been thinking about going out again. "If I stay here any longer, I'll get sick from boredom."

Prince Rui seized the opportunity to extend an invitation, "I will hold a chrysanthemum banquet in my palace in a few days. Do you want to come and play, young lady?"

Mu Xueyan sighed, "There are many rules in Shengjing City. Brother Yu Wang is afraid that Xue'er will offend people, so how could he let Xue'er attend the banquet?"

Prince Rui winked at his guards and said, "It's okay. As long as Fifth Brother and Sister-in-law come with us, I'll be relieved."

The guard understood and took out an invitation, walked up to Chu Xuanchi and handed it to him with both hands. Chu Xuanchi took it and opened it to check.

The Chrysanthemum Banquet will be held on September 18th, which is the day after tomorrow. The fact that Prince Rui has only sent the invitations now seems like a spur-of-the-moment decision.

"Xuan Lin came here for two reasons. One is to apologize to Miss Mu, and the other is to invite my fifth brother and sister-in-law to attend the chrysanthemum banquet."

Prince Rui used Emperor Wenzong as an excuse, "Father has mentioned many times that the fifth brother is in better health now, so let's visit each other more often."

"Xuan Lin rarely holds banquets in the mansion. I hope my brother and sister-in-law will give me some face and bring Miss Mu to see it."

Mu Xueyan was very excited, "Brother Yu Wang, sister-in-law, you are free in the mansion anyway, do you want to go out and have some fun?"
