Qi Chuchu's face turned pale, and her steps were a little sluggish because she had drunk some wine. She said softly that it was okay.
"Zhan Yiming." Mu Chen looked over, and Zhan Yiming immediately went to call Xue Feixian's secret guards from Feixian Tower to restrain the troublemaker.
Nangong Huaijin, who escaped into the crowd, briefly caught a glimpse of Qi Chuchu's face, and couldn't help but pause.
Seeing Prince Duan pulling Qi Chuchu away, Nangong Huaijin looked cold and left quickly.
"Miss Xue, could you please tell the distinguished guests in the wing that the prince is in an emergency and needs to return home first."
"Don't worry, guard Zhan, I'll handle it here."
After receiving the guarantee, Zhan Yiming immediately followed Qianyu and followed the prince and princess.
Qi Chuchu still felt a little dazed until she got on the carriage. Why did she come back with Mu Chenduan? He was actually in Hualou just now!
Being slightly drunk from the alcohol, Qi Chuchu suddenly pulled Mu Chenduan's collar and asked, "Why are you in Feixian Tower! Is your lover there?"
After saying this, Qi Chuchu smiled slightly, looking like a gossip.
"There is no lover of mine in Feixian Tower."
"I would really like to know what your plans are for the girl who rented Feixian Tower."
Um? How does he know? Could it be that when the boss lady went out to find someone to discuss, it was Mu Chenduan? !
Thinking of this, Qi Chuchu suddenly froze, looked at Mu Chenduan suspiciously, smiled sweetly, and said, "Of course it's business, it's a legitimate business."
It seemed that he was not too drunk. Originally, Mu Chenduan had just received the news from Xixia a few days ago. After meeting Mr. Zuo Xiang recently, he was planning to go back and talk to the real Princess of Jiashan.
He was not going to beat around the bush and said bluntly, "It seems that the eldest princess of Jiashan is indeed far-sighted than I thought, and she is easy-going and happy with the situation."
The smile on Qi Chuchu's face froze and she paused for a long time. After thinking about it, she finally showed her cards. After all, Mu Chenduan was not a good person.
Which good person would suspect someone of inviting an assassin to kill him when they first met? Is there any good person who deliberately delays time and ruins someone's reputation?
It is better to negotiate directly.
"My lord, you are more complicated than I thought. Since my lord has found out everything and is so straightforward, why not just tell me what you want to do."
Hearing this, Mu Chen smiled heartily and couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised, "Princess, if you are so cheerful, then I will stop beating around the bush."
"Nangong Yuejia, you are tough enough, flexible and flexible, and smart enough. Therefore, I want you to join me and serve me."
Qi Chuchu chuckled, "The prince really thinks highly of me. It seems that His Highness Duan Wang's ambition is not to be a prince."
"Yes." Mu Chenduan responded without hesitation.
The two fell silent, and Mu Chenduan's eyes gradually deepened. After a moment, he spoke again, "I might as well tell you that if I hadn't been unable to return to the Eastern Capital due to the battle in the Northern City three years ago, Dong Ye's throne would still be there now. I can’t tell who it is.”
If it were not possible to rush back to the Eastern Capital, Mu Chenduan's mother-in-law would not have been forced to be buried.
Unable to protect his mother and concubine, Mu Chenduan was besieged and attacked because of his unclear identity, and the people of the Northern City were displaced.
After Mu Chenjing came to the throne, he did not reform and punish corrupt officials at the top, nor reduce the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed on the people. This is really not the behavior of a wise king.
Now, his ambition is for the common people in the world.
"Your Majesty has great ambitions for the world, but I'm just a princess from the former dynasty, so I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you." Qi Chuchu responded, not daring to look at Mu Chenduan.
But she had already begun to consider whether Mu Chenduan was a suitable ally. She still felt that Mu Chenduan was a bit dangerous.
Mu Chenduan smiled lightly, turned to stare at Qi Chuchu, and said word by word, "You can definitely do it."
"How the new emperor of Xixia came to the throne, you know better than me. I believe the eldest princess of Jiashan will never forget the blood feud."
Hearing this, Qi Chuchu turned her head to look very cautiously. There was a moment of panic in her heart, and when she was about to say something, she burped loudly.
Then, after another moment, Mu Chenduan laughed helplessly, "I will give you time to think about it, and then give me a reply in three days."
belch……
"Then, Hiccup. According to the prince... Hiccup, said it."
The conversation between the two ended here, and the only sound left in the carriage was Qi Chuchu's occasional hiccups.
Finally arriving at the palace, Mu Chenduan personally took Qi Chuchu's hand and walked in, and together they went to Qi Chuchu's bedroom.
Qi Chuchu first changed into men's clothes and took a shower. Then, she went directly to Dongnuan Pavilion in Luanqi Pavilion to sleep.
"Qianyu, go to the main hall and have a look. If Prince Duan hasn't left yet, tell him that I, Mr. Jiu Jin, slept here."
"Got it, princess."
Since he had been honest with Qi Chuchu when they were on the carriage, Mu Chenduan didn't think about teasing her anymore. After listening to Qianyu's words, he didn't say anything. He waved his hand and let Qianyu go down. He slept alone in the main hall. .
The next day, when Qi Chuchu woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Mu Chenduan had left her and went to the study room. Only then did she have breakfast in peace.
After finishing the meal, Qi Chuchu went to the flower house to take a look around, thinking about what kind of hydrosol she would like to make next time.
It was almost noon when she left the flower house, which was close to the lotus pond in the palace. On a whim, she took a detour to enjoy the lotus flowers.
As a result, she actually saw a young man in purple climbing over the wall, and she and the young man saw each other.
Qi Chuchu was only followed by Qian Yu. She thought this was a young assassin who had a problem with Mu Chenduan, so she took out a self-defense purse she carried with her to protect herself.
"Fifth sister-in-law? You are the fifth sister-in-law, right?"
