It is no wonder that the ministers were anxious to get him married, Yu Wantai was already twenty-seven years old. Since ancient times, emperors did not live long, and only a handful of them could live over half a hundred years old.

Although Yu Wantai's ascension to the throne was highly anticipated, if he did not have an heir, the political situation would be in turmoil again.

Yu Wantai put aside the advice of his ministers for the time being and hurriedly left the palace after the court session.

At the gate of the courtyard, Yan Muxi lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Yu Wantai and his three servants riding towards him on horseback.

Yu Wantai and the other two also saw Yan Muxi at the same time, tightened the reins and stopped not far from the carriage.

When their eyes met, Yan Muxi wanted to lower the car curtain and ignore him, but she felt that it would be too deliberate.

So, she pretended to be calm and jumped off the carriage with the help of Yu Shui. When Yu Wantai and his servant jumped off the horse and came closer, she bowed to Yu Wantai and said, "I am a commoner, greeting His Majesty."

Yu Wantai subconsciously reached out to help, but when he got close, he pulled his hand back.

The person he thought about day and night was right next to him. He was extremely nervous, fearing that he might scare the other person, and also afraid that he had not expressed his feelings enough. He was at a loss for a moment.

After a pause, Yu Wantai said in a trembling voice: "Xixi, what are you doing? Don't bother me, get up quickly."

Yan Muxi stood up straight, without looking up at him, and said in a light tone: "Please respect yourself, Your Majesty! You and I are no longer husband and wife, it is inappropriate to call each other by our names."

Yu Wantai was stunned for a moment, then chose to play dumb, "Then what did you want me to call you?"

"Your Highness, please do as you please." Yan Muxi forced herself not to look up. Now that bastard had become the overlord of the world, he was still acting stupid like before.

"Okay, I'll listen to Madam Qian... Madam, please." Yu Wantai extended his hand and invited Yan Muxi and her servant to enter the courtyard first.

Yan Muxi couldn't help it in the end. She glanced at him fiercely and strode into the yard.

Madam Qian is abbreviated as "maid", it would be better to call her by her name directly!

Yu Wantai hurriedly followed behind. Jixiang and Ruyi looked at each other tacitly and saw joy in each other's eyes.

The Crown Prince's wife actually glared at her master. If her master tried harder, he might be scolded.

There were footsteps following behind him, but Yan Muxi didn't look back. He walked through the screen wall and headed towards the backyard.

The courtyard only had two small yards, the front yard and the back yard. Seeing that she had reached the door of the back yard, the footsteps behind her had not stopped yet. She turned back angrily and said, "The back yard is where the women live. Your Majesty, please stay."

Yu Wantai finally saw someone and just kept following him. Yan Muxi suddenly stopped and looked back, and he almost couldn't stop and bumped into her.

Facing each other head on, the two were less than a foot apart.

Not wanting to be looked down upon, Yan Muxi subconsciously raised her chin, with the anger in her watery eyes bubbling out.

Yu Wantai couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. Seeing her so lively again seemed like a lifetime ago.

"I wonder if Madam Qian would be willing to listen to a few words from me?"

A familiar voice with a slight choke penetrated into Yan Muxi's eardrums, and Yan Muxi's anger disappeared in an instant.

The man in front of him was completely different from the Prince of Rong a few years ago. He had a beard, a hard look in his eyes, and was full of solemn and righteous aura. There was no trace of Sister Ning An in him anymore.

Although they had been separated for more than a thousand days and nights, she knew every step of his transformation, how many injuries he had suffered, and how many hardships he had experienced.

In the past few days, she had thought more than once that she should stop being angry and live a good life with him and their two children for the rest of her life.

However, when she thought about how the bastard had abandoned her and left without a care in the world, she felt uncomfortable. But she also felt uncomfortable because she had been treating him coldly and not explaining things clearly.

Forget it. She could embarrass others but not herself. She would give the bastard a chance first. If he spoke well, she would consider forgiving him.

"Please speak, Your Majesty. I am all ears."

Yu Wantai was delighted, but when the ladder was handed to him, he didn't know what to say first. After struggling for a long time, he uttered the most useless words, "I'm sorry for you."

The cold expression on Yan Muxi's face did not change at all. "Does Your Majesty have anything else to say?"

Yu Wantai hurriedly said, "When I decided to leave, I couldn't see what the future held, and I didn't know if I would be able to come back alive... I was afraid of being a burden to you."

Yan Muxi's lips curled up in sarcasm, "So, the prince treated me like a fool and walked away. You and I have been married for three years. In the eyes of the prince, we should each fly away when disaster strikes, and we can only share wealth but not life and death? Am I, Yan Muxi, such a miserable lover?"

Yu Wantai shook his head in panic, "No, I never thought you were unbearable, I just..."

"Just what?"

Yu Wantai didn't dare to say that he underestimated Yan Muxi's shrewdness and intelligence.

Although they had been husband and wife for several years, most of the time was spent in waiting and testing, and the time they truly enjoyed their sweet love did not exceed a year.

He thought that as long as he destroyed Xixi's feelings for him, which were not deep to begin with, Xixi would quickly forget him even if he was gone in the future and continue to live freely without having to face painful torment and waiting for the rest of her life.

But he didn't expect that Xixi not only guessed what he was thinking, but also took the trouble to plan a way out for him.

Without the military supplies and money raised by Xixi, he would never have been able to conquer North Vietnam and seize Dafeng in such a short time.

The bottom line is that he made a wrong estimate, a huge mistake.

After listening to his grandfather talking for a long time without getting to the point, Jixiang, who was standing with his back to the side and dressed as a quail, was almost getting anxious. He wanted to turn around and explain a few words for his grandfather, but was held back by Ruyi.

Jixiang thought to himself, your future wife is lying in the house recovering from her injuries, she can't run away even if she wants to, and he hasn't found a wife yet!

When he heard that his grandfather was sorry, he said dryly, "I was wrong!"

Jixiang couldn't bear it any longer, broke free from Ruyi's grip, and jumped between Yan Muxi and Yu Wantai like a naughty monkey.

Yan Muxi was caught off guard and shrank back in fear. When she turned around, she bumped into a big round face that looked very blessed.

Jixiang looked at her, quickly brewed some thoughts, sniffed and said sadly: "Crown Princess, the prince is tongue-tied and can't speak clearly, I will say a few words for him. The prince chose to leave without saying goodbye, in the final analysis, it was because he cared too much about the Crown Princess, and was afraid that the Crown Princess would suffer with him, so he chose to bear everything alone. I have seen how much the prince cares about the Crown Princess. In the past few years, the prince has been calling the Crown Princess's name in his dreams. There were several times when he cried while calling, and his pillow was half wet with tears. That scene was so moving that anyone who heard it cried..."

Before Yan Muxi could react with her watery eyes, Jixiang had been forcibly dragged away by Yu Wantai, whose face had turned as red as liver.

After walking more than ten meters, Yu Wantai finally remembered to turn around and explain, "I have some government affairs to attend to today. I will come back to explain to my wife another day." After that, he disappeared behind the screen wall as if escaping.

When the master and servants disappeared from sight, Yu Shui couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yan Muxi turned to look at her and said unhappily, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Yu Shui didn't dare to lie, and explained in a low voice, "I couldn't help it, and thought of the King of Dingbei crying and wetting his pillow."

"It's true that you're easy to deceive when you're young. You believe everything others say." Yan Muxi sneered and turned to walk into the yard.

In fact, she had just thought of that scene, a bearded man crying on a pillow, crying and calling her name...

Tsk tsk, just thinking about that scene makes me feel cold all over. How can it move those who hear it or shed tears those who see it?
