Chapter 22

After Mu Fulan entered, she said a few words to Mu's mother who was admiring her, and then went back to the room.

The maid knew that she had the habit of changing clothes when she came back from going out, so she didn't need to give instructions and quickly took out a set of clothes she often wore.

After Mu Fulan turned to the screen beside the bed, with the help of the maid, she had a leftover dress except for her outer clothes.

The soft Akane-colored close-fitting fabric wrapped her body tightly, leaving only a white back and two arms exposed, and a moon-white single skirt was tied underneath. The back was slender and the waist was full, and it was so thin that it could not be grasped.

She was a little absent-minded, lowered her head and lowered her fair and greasy neck. While thinking about her own thoughts, she stretched out her arms to put on clothes.

As soon as my arm was put into my sleeve, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

She turned around and saw Xie Changgeng coming straight in.

He probably didn't expect her to change clothes. The moment she looked at her, his steps stopped and stopped by the screen.

The maids quickly turned around and greeted him.

He neither continued to step in nor retreat, but stopped there, and opened his mouth and ordered people to go out.

Seeing that he looked bad, the maids looked at Mu Fulan, and saw that she did not object, they bowed and retreated.

Mu Fulan came back to her senses, turned her face back to him, put on her clothes, covered her clothes, and tied her belt.

He was trying hard to restrain his emotions, but his face was stiff and his eyes were full of dark waves.

She was so familiar with Xie Changgeng. No one could see his appearance, but she knew it at a glance.

He is already very angry now.

Something must have happened to me.

She turned her back to him and quickly passed through the things that might have caused him so much anger in her mind.

Is it the news that he met Zhang Ban during the day that he was leaked?

Or did he ask him to know the existence of Xier who called him his mother?

If these two things were true, it would be possible that he would be so angry.

But she quickly denied it.

She was very careful in these two things, and even if there were any mistakes, he would never notice them so soon.

But if it were something else, what happened?

After tying her laces with her slender fingers, she slowly turned around and looked towards him.

The two stood opposite each other, only a few steps away from each other.

She raised her eyes quietly, looked at him, and was about to test him, Xie Changgeng on the opposite side had already spoken and said word by word: "Mu, if you want to be separated, then you will fulfill your wish!"

"I will put a book for you now, so as not to cause any good things to you and your lover. In broad daylight, in front of everyone, I dare to come to the door to teach you like this!"

After he finished speaking, he threw a piece of paper that looked like letter paper at her, turned around and left, and his figure quickly disappeared with the sound of footsteps.

The paper fell to the ground at her feet.

Mu Fulan was stunned and bent down to pick it up.

It was indeed Zhang's letter, and there was a letter written to her. It was not signed, but when I looked at the content of the letter, I knew it was written by Zhao Xitai, the prince of the King of Qi.

Zhao Xitai said that he was able to meet her again at Huguo Temple yesterday. After returning, he recalled the past and was in a mess and could not sleep. Just last night, he accidentally heard the conversation between his father, King Qi and his staff. When he learned that Empress Liu was just not moving to Changsha for the time being, he would definitely attack in the future. He sent a message specifically, asking her to remember to remind her brother Wang to take precautions.

He said he was very worried about her current situation. Xie Changgeng was a giant bandit, and he was humble and had no shame. Now that he had become the murderous knife in Empress Liu, the villain would sooner or later abandon her like a broom and could not rely on her.

Zhao Xitai finally said that if she encounters difficulties in the future, he must let him know. No matter what, he will do his best to help her.

After reading the letter, Mu Fulan thought for a moment and understood.

The person who came out to say that he was delivering letters to Princess Qi was actually from Zhao Xitai.

Before sending a letter of such content, Zhao Xitai should have repeatedly reminded him to avoid Xie Changgeng and deliver it to himself.

No wonder the man didn't dare to take out the letter when he saw Xie Changgeng coming back, so he ran away immediately.

Mu Fulan didn't have time to think about why this letter ended up in Xie Changgeng's hands.

She stood there with the letter and showed up God.

Although Zhang Ban has already received the assistance, to be honest, she is not completely sure whether this matter can be solved smoothly with Zhang Ban's power like the last Changsha national crisis.

This time, the incident is different from last time, and there is a variable like Xie Changgeng in between.

He is his husband, and Empress Liu wants to take him hostage. No matter what considerations he is, he will definitely mention it in front of him and ask him to express his attitude.

For me, this matter is a major matter that concerns safety and even life and death, but for Xie Changgeng, it is impossible and has no direct interest in him.

Based on his intuition, Mu Fulan concluded that Cao Jin was Xie Changgeng's person. There was such a pair of ears in the palace, and Zhang Ban could not hide it from Xie Changgeng's words. If he turned a blind eye, Zhang Ban should be able to accomplish things and he could get out smoothly.

But if he is dissatisfied with himself, or even resentful, and deliberately obstructs him, even if Zhang Ban comes forward to transform himself, it will probably be difficult to work.

Starting a few days ago, while she was thinking about how to use Zhang Ban, she was also considering how to solve this variable.

She didn't expect Xie Changgeng to speak in front of Liu Hou for her. As long as he didn't obstruct her when Zhang Ban helped her solve her problems.

During the days when she just came back, she was driven by her sadness and hatred. All she wanted was to break away from him completely as soon as possible and never see him again in this life.

But as the situation continued to change, she began to slowly realize something. With her relationship with him, considering his current status and the current situation of Changsha, many things she wanted to do were actually unable to completely bypass him.

Blindly hostility and taking it for granted will not solve the problem.

She needs to rebuild her relationship with him.

This is extremely against her will. But she must face it and accept it.

Just as she came back from Zhang Ban today, she was still thinking about how to break the deadlock with him. Unexpectedly, this happened.

It looked very bad, and it made things worse. He was dissatisfied with himself, because this letter was probably at its peak, and he even said what he agreed to and said just now.

But on the other hand, isn’t this a good opportunity?

Mu Fulan thought for a moment and quickly made up her mind.

She promised Xier, who had just returned to her, to go back and be with him as soon as possible.

She can't be detained here.

...

It has been many years since he was fourteen years old and killed someone for his father and took risks. No matter what, Xie Changgeng was no longer so angry that he was so out of control.

It wasn't because of his evaluation of himself in that letter. If he cared about this, he wouldn't be able to sit in his position today.

What made him angry was the strong hostility and repeated betrayal and humiliation exerted by the Mu girl on him.

It was nothing in the past, but a marriage contract was concluded for exchange of interests between the two parties. It was not surprising that she married herself against her will, and had an infidelity before marriage.

But now, she was in the capital, and she didn't know how to restrain herself at all. She first met at Huguo Temple, but in one night, she actually made Zhao Xitai write such a secret letter to her. Although she had no words, she had a long and unscrupulous relationship between the lines.

Xie Changgeng arrived at the study room, picked up his pen and wrote Zhang Fang’s wife’s letter.

After writing the last word, his five fingers holding the pen exerted force, and with a slight "click", the wooden tough ebony pen in his hand broke into two pieces.

He threw the broken pen, got up and came to the window, pushed the window out, and after a moment, his expression finally calmed down.

He returned to the table and was about to call someone to send her the written things, but he heard two knocks on the door.

He raised his eyes and saw that the door was pushed open, and a figure stood outside the door.

Mu actually came by himself, stepped into the threshold, and walked towards him.

He pushed the paper towards her and then went out.

"She Lang stayed!"

There was a call from behind.

He seemed to have not heard of it.

Mu Fulan chased after him.

Xie Changgeng stopped, watched her approaching her coldly blocking her way, and said, "Mu, I have written what you want. Please do it yourself in the future."

He lifted his foot and left, but his sleeve was held again.

He stopped and looked at her in surprise at the hand she reached over and held her sleeve, and then she showed disgust on her face.

Mu Fulan let go of her hand and didn't look at the paper that had not yet dried on the table. She looked into his eyes and said, "You can listen to me first? I'm afraid you've misunderstood. The Prince of Qi and I have no relationship except when I met in the palace when I was a child. Over the years, I have never had any contact with him. I met him yesterday at Huguo Temple, which was a surprise. It was definitely not my private meeting with him. As for the letter just now, I was even more unaware of it."

"This is Shangjing. No matter how ignorant I am, I will never dare to do anything to have an affair with others when I get here. Even if I ignore your face, do I want the face of Changsha Kingdom?"

Xie Changgeng looked cold and did not respond, so he only sorted out the sleeves she had just pulled.

Mu Fulan looked at him and said softly: "You are leaving. This morning the Queen Mother summoned me into the palace and asked me where I will go. You have never mentioned half of the words to me. I am actually very panicked..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, slowly lowering her eyes, standing quietly in front of him, motionless.

After a long time, Xie Changgeng finally spoke.

"Mu, I went to Yuecheng to pick you up that day. Didn't you insist on breaking away from me? Now I'll fulfill your wish. I'll go to Hexi and you will return to your Changsha country."

Mu Fulan said: "The Empress Dowager has always regarded my Changsha country as hostile. Since she summoned me to Beijing and waited for you to leave, how could she let me go back so easily? What she asked me this morning was just a test. Others don't know, Xie Lang, don't you?"

Xie Changgeng said expressionlessly: "What's the problem? I'm leaving. Isn't there a prince of Qi? He will help you."

"He doesn't have this ability. No one can help me."

She shook her head.

"Xielang, now I know that you are the only one in this world who can protect me."

Mu Fulan slowly raised her beautiful eyes, stared at Xie Changgeng opposite her, and said softly.
