Chapter 223 Not Afraid to Lose

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Chun Mei, the maidservant next to Zi Xi, calmly expressed her opinions. “Crown Princess, I think that it is not appropriate for us to inquire about Princess Muyuan’s news when she was outside at this time. If you want to know the people and things that Princess Muyuan met when she was outside, you might as well ask Princess Muyuan in person, and you can ask her in a roundabout way. You can say that you are curious about the scenery outside, so you can also get some useful information.”

Zi Xi listened to Chun Mei’s words, but she was not furious with Chun Mei’s rebuttal. Instead, she calmly thought about it. So, it was obvious that Zi Xi attached great importance to Chun Mei.

“Moreover, have you ever thought that if the crown prince knows about this matter, he will certainly misunderstand you? At that time, it will only do harm to you. It is not good at all.” Chun Mei continued to express her opinions.

As soon as Zi Xi listened to Chun Mei’s words, she was instantly awakened. She was so angry just now indeed that she forgot to think about the stake.

Regardless of whether the matter would spread to Qi Liange, as early as she entered the General’s mansion, her father told her that you could hurt anyone around Qi Liange except Qi Muyuan.

Qi Muyuan was the person who Qi Liange cared about most and was also the only relative of Qi Liange. Whoever hurt Qi Muyuan, he must be furious. So, no matter how Qi Muyuan treated her, she must be tolerant.

If she didn’t want to lose the position of the crown princess and didn’t want to lose Qi Liange, then she could only submit to humiliation in front of Qi Muyuan.

Moreover, the people around Qi Muyuan were all sent by Qi Liange to take care of Qi Muyuan. Even if she really inquired about some news, then what she had done would spread to the ears of Qi Liange in less than half a moment.

If she really did that, she must be digging her own grave.

At this time, she had nothing to threaten Qi Liange except for her father who was still in power in the imperial court.

When she was thinking like this, Zi Xi’s eyes turned cold. The cold light flashed.

In any case, no one could deprive her position of the crown princess. It only belonged to her. What was more, no one could take Qi Liange away from her.

Zi Xi coldly said, “That’s it. You go to the Jin Xiu Garment Workshop to get some clothes. Tomorrow you will send them to the little bitch Qi Muyuan with me.” If she had not been forced by the current situation, she would not have gotten along with Qi Muyuan like this.

Chun Mei nodded quickly and left with a neat movement to go out and get things done.

Zi Xi looked at the back of Chun Mei as she was leaving, and she slightly raised her lips with satisfaction. This was the reason why so many maidservants had been replaced back and forth, but only Chun Mei could always stay with her.

She only hoped to have a useful and beneficial person. And Chun Mei was a smart person. She also made full use of her value in use.

It would be a waste if she didn’t use.

And she also believed that in a short time, when Qi Liange became the emperor, she would also become the most honorable woman in the world. At that time, even Qi Muyuan should act according to her expressions.

After thinking like this, Zi Xi’s mood was much better, but she didn’t know that in the near future, there would be a fire-like woman who let her feel frustrated and unwilling for the first time in her life.

On this side, Bai Aoxue and the other people, who had just left Ye Capital, finally reunited with Du Siyan. They were about to go to Nanyue Dynasty.

Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue who was still riding a horse and said with concern, “Xue. It is getting a little cold. You’d better go back to the carriage first. We may have to go on our trip all night tonight. There is no inn on the way. We can only rest at the small post station at dawn.”

Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyan. She looked at the sun setting gradually and lightly said, “When it gets dark, I will get onto the carriage. I still want to ride a horse now.”

Jun Yeyan heard it and said in a pampering way, “Then let Mumian bring your cloak. The night wind is very cold here at night. If you are blown too much, you will get sick.”

Jun Yeyan didn’t wait for Bai Aoxue to speak. He just gave a wink at Li Xiao, and Li Xiao had already turned to the carriage.

After a short while, he fetched the cloak of Bai Aoxue.

Jun Yeyan took the cloak and patted his saddle horse. After tiptoeing gently, he jumped behind Bai Aoxue and sat firmly on the body of Xiaobai.

It was indeed not strange for Xiaobai which was hard-working and slowed down the pace to move forward slowly.

The same went for Zhao and others. But most of the time, they jealously thought in their hearts why their master still had such a tender appearance.

Their master always showed a handsome and cold face to them.

Jun Yeyan did not pay more attention to the eyes of the people around him. He put the cloak on Bai Aoxue. Then he affectionately stretched out his hands in front of Bai Aoxue and gently fastened the cloak belt for Bai Aoxue.

Jun Yeyan arranged the hem of the cloak for Bai Aoxue and rubbed Bai Aoxue’s hair. Then he said slowly, “All right. It will be much warmer in this way.”

The dark-black cloak with gilded edges was tailor-made for Bai Aoxue by Jun Yeyan. It was luxurious with a bit of grace, but more mysterious and dignified.

It made people feel unattainable, sacred, and mysterious.

Bai Aoxue’s cheeks were reddish, but she did not stop the intimate behavior of Jun Yeyan.

Bai Aoxue looked at the long road ahead and asked slowly, “When can we get to Nanyue Dynasty? Will we be able to catch up with Qi Liange’s ascending the throne?”

After listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, Jun Yeyan thought for a while and said, “It will probably take more than ten days. As for the day when he ascends the throne, we won’t miss it.”

Bai Aoxue nodded and took the opportunity to lean on Jun Yeyan’s arms. Jun Yeyan also took over the rein in the hands of Bai Aoxue and let Bai Aoxue lean in his arms.

The setting sun was gradually falling. The orange light was all over the earth. There was already a bit of coldness in the autumn wind.

It was getting dark. Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue who closed her eyes and rested. He was a little worried and said, “Xue? Are you asleep?”

Bai Aoxue rubbed her eyes sleepily and lightly replied, “Well. Not yet.”

Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue’s face like this and knew that she was very tired as they rushed about for a few days, but she did not say it and tried to follow them together, which only made him feel more distressed.

“Go and have a rest in the carriage. It will be windy after a while, and you will get sick.” Jun Yeyan hugged Bai Aoxue and said with concern.

And Bai Aoxue was about to answer Jun Yeyan, but she had been held up around the waist by Jun Yeyan.

With a leap, Jun Yeyan had left the horse and held Bai Aoxue in his arms.

He stepped on the pale moonlight as if he stepped on the bridge deck of the air. He gracefully took Bai Aoxue to the side of the carriage.

He put Bai Aoxue into the carriage. Jun Yeyan leaned forward as if there was not anyone else present. He gently kissed the forehead of Bai Aoxue.

“Good night. I’ll be there for you.”

After saying, he trimmed the messy hair for Bai Aoxue. Then he put down the curtain and left.

Mumian, Hongxiu, and others were all shocked by him, who were left here. And Bai Aoxue had a bit of shyness on her face.

Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue and stammered. She shouted in surprise, “Miss…”

Bai Aoxue glanced at Mumian and lightly said, “Don’t make a fuss. Don’t you think that we know the things of you and Nalan Youhong? You betted with Hongxiu. I also betted with Hongxiu. This is tit for tat.”

As soon as Mumian listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, what she originally wanted to say was choked. She looked at Bai Aoxue in a daze, and she had already burst into tears in her heart. It turned out that Miss held such a grudge against her. She wouldn’t have made a bet with this stinky girl, Hongxiu, if she had known it.

At this time, she was really lifting a rock only to drop on her own feet.

And Hongxiu looked at Mumian gloatingly.

Bai Aoxue looked seriously at these three people, including Wenxi and Hongxiu, and said slowly, “In a few days, we will enter Nanyue Dynasty. At that time, all of you should not run around. I will arrange some people to protect you. Maybe there will be some accidents at that time. After all, I never feel safe during this trip to Nanyue Dynasty.”

Wenxi listened to Bai Aoxue’s words. She nodded calmly and said, “Miss, don’t worry. I will take good care of Hongxiu and Mumian. We will not burden you.”

After listening to Wenxi’s words, Hongxiu and Mumian nodded together and agreed.

Bai Aoxue took a deep look at these three people, including Wenxi and Hongxiu, and lightly said, “Since I brought you out, I will bring you back safely. No matter what happens, you have me in front of you.”

Three people all knew that Bai Aoxue really cared about them so that she would say it like this. Although they were of little help to Bai Aoxue, they would not cause any trouble to Bai Aoxue in any case.

Even if they couldn’t do anything, they didn’t want to be a burden.

“Some time ago, I already wrote a letter to Liushuang. I believe it won’t be long before Liushuang is able to come to Nanyue Dynasty to join us. I will feel better to have Liushuang around. After all, he should know more about all corners of the country.” Bai Aoxue looked at the moonless night sky. She felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.

Hongxiu looked at Bai Aoxue’s pale face and said with distress, “Take a rest. Miss. You haven’t had a good rest these days.”

Bai Aoxue nodded and leaned against the soft couch. Then she lightly said, “You should have a rest early as well. We will be on our way all the time tonight. There will be no rest on the way.”

Mumian leaned forward and pulled up the thin blanket for Bai Aoxue.

And Jun Yeyan was listening to the report of Zhao outside the carriage.

Zhao frowned gently and looked at Jun Yeyan. He said, “Master. Brothers at the stronghold of Mobei Dynasty reported that it seemed that a wedding would be held in the Imperial Palace of Mobei Dynasty. But as to whose wedding it is, even the eunuchs and maid-servants in the Imperial Palace are not clear.”

When Jun Yeyan heard the words of Zhao, his handsome eyebrows frowned gently. He thought it over in his mind and said in a deep voice, “Let them continue to inquire. Remember to find out the whereabouts of Luoyan. Since Luoyan has been brought back to Mobei Dynasty, she must be in the Imperial Palace.”

Zhao also said doubtfully, “Master. Although Princess Luoyan has been brought back to Mobei Dynasty, the eunuchs and maid-servants in the Imperial Palace said that they had never seen Princess Luoyan. It is said that Princess Luoyan has never come back at all.”

It was getting harder to guess any idea of Mobei Dynasty’s emperor.

Jun Yeyan folded his hands and asked in a light voice, “Continue to inquire about news. How is the situation about my uncle?”

“Everything is fine with General Ye, and now General Ye has calmed down a lot. However, some brothers said that a group of people came from Chengxi Dynasty a few days ago, and they did not leave the garrison camp of Chengxi Dynasty but kept staying there.” Zhao felt more and more in his mind that this time things were not simple.

He thought that there must be a huge conspiracy behind this.

Jun Yeyan stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead. He asked questioningly, “People came from Chengxi Dynasty?”
