On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Lian Zhao was helpless when he heard this: "This is none of my business. The main reason is that your housekeeper didn't let me in at the beginning."

If he hadn't been so persistent and taken out his ID card, he would probably still be surrounded by people at the gate of the general's mansion.

The butler who was named suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. It's not that he was blind, but the main problem was that the man was dressed too strangely, and he refused to tell us who he was when asked, and he didn't look like a local.

The general's mansion is high-ranking and powerful. It would be bad if some spies were let in.

If this man had said earlier that he was a hostage from an enemy country, why would I have left him standing at the door to be watched by others...

Shen Wantang pursed her lips and did not blame the housekeeper who was sweating profusely. Instead, she took Lian Zhao directly into the inner courtyard.

After turning a few corners and making sure that there was no one around, Shen Wantang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She finally had time to settle the bill. When she saw Lian Zhao trying to find a place to sit, Shen Wantang raised her leg and kicked his chair away.

"I did promise to keep you safe in the capital, but not like this!"

There is a hostage house in the capital city, and hostages from various countries have to live there.

Logically speaking, he should go to that place after meeting Ji Xunchuan.

But this guy actually paraded through the general's mansion in such a blatant manner. Isn't this telling everyone clearly that the general's mansion is related to him?

Lian Zhao looked at the chair that was kicked away without getting angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "But your Majesty doesn't seem to care. When I told him that I didn't want to live in the Proton Court and wanted to live in the General's Mansion, he smiled and told me that this arrangement was more to his liking."

At this point, Lian Zhao touched his chin thoughtfully: "There are many people in the Hostage House, and I guess your Majesty feels that he is not at ease with me living there. But it is different if I live in the General's Mansion. Your family is his confidant, and with you watching me, he may feel more at ease."

Shen Wantang frowned even more tightly.

After experiencing two lifetimes, Shen Wantang had already fully understood Ji Xunchuan's true nature.

The more gently Ji Xunchuan smiled, the more frightened Shen Wantang became.

Just like in his previous life, he told me with a smile that the entire general's family had been killed.

Whenever Shen Wantang thought of that day, he felt a chill in his heart.

"I think you have made a wrong calculation. His Majesty is definitely not as simple as you think."

Shen Wantang was a little worried. She had changed a lot of things from her previous life. What if Ji Xunchuan was affected by these things and took action against the General's Mansion in advance?

After a moment's silence, she turned around and told her servants to spread the news: "Just say that envoys are not killed when two armies are fighting, and the General's Mansion has no intention of taking in the twelfth prince. It was only to show the demeanor of a great country that they had to agree to it."

After saying this, the servant immediately went out to clarify the rumors.

Lian Zhao found another chair and sat down, then said slowly, "Ms. Shen, your words sound too far-fetched, don't they? I don't think anyone would believe it."

Shen Wantang sneered: "That's better than doing nothing. If you hadn't come here without permission, I wouldn't have to worry about it here."

Hearing these impolite words, Lian Zhao laughed instead of getting angry.

He looked at Shen Wantang's cold expression, suddenly stood up, leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice and said playfully: "Even if Miss Shen is angry, she has to be patient for a while. After all, for the sake of that list..."

The overly close distance made Shen Wantang feel uncomfortable all over. The man's breath gave her goose bumps all over. Just when Shen Wantang could no longer bear it and was about to teach him a lesson, a dagger made a sound of breaking wind and directly brushed Lian Zhao's cheek and pierced into the chair.

The force was so great that even Shen Wantang was shocked.

If Lian Zhao's head had tilted a little more, he would have been covered in blood.

They both turned around and saw Cen Xiao standing at the gate of the yard. His handsome face seemed to be smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

He looked at Lian Zhao and sneered softly, "It seems that my aim is not very good. I am sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness Lian Zhao."

Lian Zhao narrowed his eyes. He had been struggling to survive in the harem since he was a child, and he was particularly sensitive to the malicious intentions of others. Realizing that the man in front of him seemed to be hostile to him, Lian Zhao raised his eyebrows and hid behind Shen Wantang in fear.

"Is this the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei? We met in the court just now. I just don't know how I have offended the son that he must greet me in this way?"

His words sounded pitiful, and he didn't notice that Shen Wantang, who was being used as a shield by him, had a very unfriendly expression on his face.

When will these two men ever stop fighting? They actually dared to fight in her general's mansion!

Shen Wantang suppressed his displeasure and looked at Cen Xiao: "Prince Cen, what are you doing here? Do you know that if you had hurt His Highness Lian Zhao just now, the consequences would be very serious."

Seeing that Shen Wantang not only stood in front of Lian Zhao but also spoke up to defend him, Cen Xiao suddenly became furious.

What's wrong with this woman? She can be loyal to Ji Xunchuan and protect Lian Zhao behind her, but she is so cold and ruthless to her? !

How am I inferior to them?

Cen Xiao took a step forward, his face gloomy: "Miss Shen, you are asking me this? Logically speaking, I should be the one who receives His Highness Lian Zhao."

"I don't know when Miss Shen got so close to a hostage from an enemy country."

Listening to Cen Xiao's tone, Shen Wantang almost laughed out of anger.

Why does this guy sound like he's jealous?

She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She didn't care that Lian Zhao was still in the yard and directly pulled Cen Xiao to a secluded corner.

"Don't you want to know? Come with me."

Looking at Shen Wantang's hand holding his arm, Cen Xiao narrowed his eyes, and his originally gloomy mood inexplicably improved.

When the two of them walked to a secluded place, Shen Wantang directly shook his arm away and asked impatiently, "Prince Cen, I thought we had made it very clear last time, but you are still hanging around me. What do you want to do?"

Cen Xiao did not answer, but asked: "Why, did I disturb you?"

"Yes."

Shen Wantang spoke mercilessly: "You showed up for no apparent reason and interrupted my conversation with Lian Zhao. You fought me to the end for no apparent reason. Just because I rejected the marriage granted by His Majesty?"

Cen Xiao was silent for a moment. He felt that his anger was rising as he faced the questioning of this woman. He gritted his teeth and said slowly, "I just want to participate in your cooperation."

Shen Wantang was stunned, her pupils trembled, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

Did she know what she wanted to do?

Cen Xiao looked at Shen Wantang's expression and said meaningfully, "I always thought you were a smart person, but now I doubt whether you are clear-headed. Lian Zhao is the prince of Rong State. No matter what you want from him, having such a close relationship with him is like courting disaster."
