princess is everywhere

After vaguely understanding her own thoughts, Anyang felt a little restless, and she felt flustered when she looked at Xu Mu later—no way, the dream of the night before was still vivid in her mind, she didn't think much when she just woke up, but now she couldn't help thinking about it. Some ambiguous.

Fortunately, Xu Mu's remaining poison is still not cleared, and his spirit is not good, so he didn't notice any abnormalities in Anyang.

In the afternoon, people came from the palace. On the one hand, they expressed condolences to Xu Mu's injuries, and on the other hand, they also reminded Anyang that it was time to return to the palace.Regardless of how the emperor wants to pull the red line, and regardless of how much Anyang cares about Xu Mu, she is an unmarried princess after all, and it is not the same thing to stay in the general's mansion.It is not a decent thing for the royal family to spread rumors and ruin their reputation.

This time Anyang didn't insist anymore.After all, Imperial Physician Wu had already detoxified Xu Mu, and the next thing was to clean up the remaining poison and recuperate, so Xu Mu would be fine.And Anyang himself is still in a mess, it's time to go back to the palace and think about it.

It's just that Anyang was about to leave just after meeting her, but Xu Mu was reluctant to let go, and even looked at her with a bit of pity.

Anyang's heart softened when she saw her, and before leaving, she tucked the corner of the quilt for her: "You take good care of your wounds, and I will come to see you again in two days." As he spoke, he winked at her, and the polite words became agreement.

Seeing this, Xu Mu didn't say anything, and watched her leave with the palace servants.

Staring at the empty doorway for a while, the softness between Xu Mu's brows and eyes finally faded away. She sat up with a restrained expression, and when she raised her eyes again, she became the cold and sharp General Changsheng again: "Come here! .”

As soon as the voice fell, someone came from outside the door, it was a soldier who followed her back to Beijing: "What orders does the general have?"

Xu Mu didn't talk nonsense, and asked, "Is there any news from the capital these two days, and is there any action from King Xin?"

This personal soldier has followed Xu Mu for many years, and he also accompanied her in the Northern Expedition and ambushed in the suburbs of Beijing, so he understands the grievances between Xu Mu and King Xin.It is also because of these grievances that the people in the general's mansion have been keeping a close eye on King Xin, and immediately replied after hearing the words: "General, after the eldest princess was assassinated, the patrols in the capital have become much stricter, and there is nothing else. Unexpected changes. King Xin has been shutting himself out these days, and there has been no movement."

Xu Mu didn't relax after hearing this, but frowned lightly—even though she didn't have much dealings with King Xin, she always remembered this enemy, so she also had some understanding.This man is not only ambitious, but also daring, and he is by no means a person who sits and waits to die.

The current situation in the capital is not clear to others, so how can King Xin not understand it?The emperor allowed him to come to Beijing to have an audience, and he originally intended to attack him. He didn't dare to disobey the holy order, so he put on a killer move first.It's a pity that the assassination failed, and it's not that he didn't have a chance to escape halfway, but he still came, so it seemed desperate.

That being the case, would King Xin do nothing and just stay at home behind closed doors?

Xu Mu didn't believe that King Xin, who was able to do such things as cooperating with the enemy and betraying the country seven years ago, could do even crazier things now.And the more he stays behind closed doors, the more strange things seem to be.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Mu asked the soldiers again: "Then what orders did His Majesty issue these days?"

The soldiers listened to the question and answered: "Your Majesty ordered a thorough investigation into the assassination of the eldest princess, and there are no other orders."

Xu Mu always felt that something was weird when she heard the words, even she could detect the strangeness, it was unreasonable for the emperor who had been fighting with King Xin for many years to be unaware.Even if it's the calm before the storm, isn't this too quiet?

Raising his hand and pressing his forehead, Xu Mu couldn't think of a reason for the time being, and was about to dismiss the person and think about it carefully, but another person hurriedly came outside the door.It was also her personal soldier, hurriedly approached and said in a low voice: "General, there are people outside asking to see you."

****************************************************************************

Anyang was called back to the palace by someone sent by the emperor, so naturally he had to go to the Xuanshi Hall first after returning to the palace.

The emperor was originally writing something with a pen, but he didn't stop writing when he saw Anyang came back, until he finished writing and used the seal, closed it and handed it to the chief servant next to him, then raised his eyebrows and said: "The general's mansion is like this. Okay? Or is it just Xu Mu who makes people so reluctant? If you go out of the palace, I won’t send someone to call you, so you don’t plan to go back to the palace, do you?”

Anyang was originally pure-minded, so he didn't think too much after hearing this, and even refuted and argued a few words.But now she vaguely understood her thoughts on Xu Mu, and felt a little blushing when she heard this again: "Brother Huang, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

The emperor was originally scolding his younger sister with a stern face, but seeing Anyang's reaction, he really changed his expression slightly - he was originally a sensitive person, after Anyang was rescued by Xu Mu yesterday, he was eager to go out of the palace to take care of him, so he saw that My sister's thoughts.But at the same time, he could also see that although Anyang was tempted, he was ignorant of it.

But look at the present, one sentence is said with reddened cheeks, how can Anyang still look like he didn't understand yesterday?Then what exactly happened that night that made Anyang enlightened so quickly, and yet acted so embarrassed? !

As an adult, the emperor couldn't help but think a little too much, and his face was a little unhappy.

Fortunately, Anyang is not really dull, and nothing happened last night that disturbed her mind. She realized that it was not good when she saw Brother Huang's expression.Immediately, he leaned forward and tugged on the emperor's sleeve: "Brother, don't think about it, General Xu saved me, and it is my duty to go and take care of me."

Still speaking like this, it is less credible today than it was yesterday.

But fortunately, the emperor calmed down and saw that Anyang was fine, and his originally gloomy face gradually eased.Then he thought about it, and felt that since his younger sister was enlightened, he might as well have an open and honest talk, so he said bluntly: "The imperial sister is now eighteen, and although I refused the marriage proposal from Duke Lu's mansion for you a few days ago, in the end it is still true." I can't keep you from getting married forever. I don't know if the imperial sister has someone she likes?"

The topic suddenly turned here, how could Anyang fail to hear the subtext of the emperor?But she hasn't sorted out her own thoughts, nor considered the future of the two of them, let alone figured out Xu Mu's attitude, so how dare she respond to these words?

Seeing her biting her lip and remaining silent, the emperor continued: "Not everyone can marry my imperial sister, but there is a good candidate right now. Xu Mu is not weak in fighting, and has a clear temper. The only pity is her appearance. Loss..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, Anyang felt unhappy—her little general was so good-looking and gentle enough, so what was the scar on the corner of his eyebrow?She didn't take it to heart at all, and she didn't think that Xu Mu had turned ugly. How could she hear others slander her?Even if her brother said it would not work!

The emperor was observing Anyang's expression while talking, seeing the faint anger in her eyes, what else did he not understand?It is said that girls are extroverted, but his sister is good, she took care of her before she got married.

Not to mention, although the emperor wanted to be a matchmaker, he still felt a little sour seeing Anyang's reaction.

The emperor was not happy, so he changed the subject and said deliberately: "I see that the emperor's sister looks unhappy, but I don't like her? If that's the case, then forget it, and I didn't say anything."

Anyang actually never thought about marrying Xu Mu. She also knew her intentions at the beginning of the year, and she didn't have time to think about it.But the emperor mentioned it all and now he said forget it, as if the thing that had been put into her palm was suddenly taken back, but this thing she really likes, how could she be willing?Immediately anxious, he blurted out: "Brother Huang, what nonsense are you talking about, how can I not look down on her?!"

The emperor looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Is that because you fell in love with her? Do you want me to marry you?"

The topic progressed too fast, or the relationship progressed too fast, which made Anyang a little unprepared.She could only feel her heart beating fast in her chest, and the heat on her face gradually became astonishingly hot, but in the end she didn't lose her sanity: "Don't. Brother Huang, don't mess around with me. Let’s talk about it later.”

After all, Anyang is also an unmarried girl's family, and it is shy to talk about marriage in front of her eyes, and she is extremely embarrassed after saying this.Throwing down these words hastily, and without waiting for the emperor to say anything else, he resigned and ran away.

The emperor looked at her back as if she was running away, and shook his head with a grin. He felt more and more that there was something to be done—although Anyang refused the marriage offer, her attitude was actually very clear.Similarly, Xu Mu is not a person who has no sense of propriety. Since she was willing to keep Anyang in the mansion to take care of her last night, she probably did not have any intentions towards Anyang.

Since this is the case, it will be a matter of time before the marriage is bestowed, and he is not in a hurry at this moment.

It didn't take long for the siblings to talk, and the chief servant who had received his warrant to leave earlier also came back and reported to him softly: "Your Majesty, the orders and things have been ordered to be sent out."

The emperor withdrew his smile slightly, nodded without saying anything, reached out and took another memorial from the desk to read.

At this moment, another figure appeared outside the palace gate, it was Anyang who had fled just now.Xu Shi ran out to clear up her mood, she lost the expression of a little girl at the moment, she stood by the door as slim and graceful, but showed a bit of seriousness: "Brother Huang, I just forgot to ask you, yesterday Has the assassin been found?"

The capital has always been stable, only around the time when King Xin entered the capital, there were more assassinations. It is almost self-evident who is behind the scenes.It's just that you know what you know, and you must pay attention to evidence in everything, otherwise the emperor would not want to bear the reputation of harming his brothers.

The emperor sighed immediately, and shook his head again: "They are all dead soldiers, and there were no survivors left at that time."

King Xin has always been impeccable in his work, which is also expected.Anyang was also there at the time, and she knew how many assassins had died, and the only boy who was captured, Bijian, knew at a glance that he was not an accomplice, and he couldn't ask anything if he wanted to.

But Anyang was still a little disappointed when he heard the answer, especially this time he was not the only one suffering, and Xu Mu was injured and poisoned to save her, which made her feel distressed.Immediately, she stomped her feet in anger, turned around and ran again, her figure was vigorous and vigorous, but it could not be seen that she had been seriously injured only a month ago.

The emperor looked at her back again, but this time he couldn't smile, his brows were full of contemplation.
