The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

In the evening, Mu Yibai did not go to bed after washing up, but sat on a chair waiting for Fu Yunxi to come back from washing up. As soon as she came in, Mu Yibai hugged her waist tightly, leaned his head on her shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Madam, hug me."

Fu Yunxi said nothing, but just hugged Mu Yibai back. She knew that his heart must be in turmoil at the moment, so she had to give him some time and space to connect what happened in these two lives and find out the truth!

After a long time, so long that Fu Yunxi thought Mu Yibai had fallen asleep on her shoulder, Mu Yibai asked a question.

"May I?"

Perhaps it was because the surging emotions in his heart were difficult to express at the moment, or perhaps it was because he was hugging the warm Fu Yunxi that made him a little confused and infatuated. In short, Mu Yibai raised his eyes and looked directly at his wife, who was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from clear water, and asked in a hoarse voice.

Fu Yunxi did not say anything, but sealed his lips with a kiss, giving him the most enthusiastic response.

……

They didn't know how much time had passed before the lovemaking stopped. They simply washed up and lay in bed, snuggling up to each other.

"He mentioned his future plans to me today, and also invited me to return to the court and assist him after he ascends the throne."

Mu Yibai just started talking about business at this moment, and Fu Yunxi naturally knew who the "he" he was referring to was.

"Then the husband certainly did not agree to his request."

Fu Yunxi listened carefully to Mu Yibai's words and responded.

"That's right. I have no intention of setting foot in the court full of intrigues. I know very well that he is different from his father and will definitely be able to govern the country properly. We should just live our own carefree lives. However, if Madam desires a high position of power, then I will definitely fight for it."

Mu Yibai has been exiled for two lifetimes. He has enjoyed the prosperity of the world and also suffered the sufferings of the world. In the end, what he cherishes most is to live happily with his family. He has long ceased to covet royal power and wealth. Now the core of his life is Fu Yunxi, and the choice is in her hands.

"I don't yearn for that kind of life! When Zhao Hengzhi clears the name of the Mu family in the future, we will no longer be bound by constraints. We can go to southern Xinjiang to find our father and elder brother, and live a peaceful and happy life as a family. How wonderful it will be!"

Fu Yunxi always believed that life is worth living as long as it is worth it. In her previous life, she regarded curing diseases and saving lives as her dream. In this life, she hopes to make a difference for this era. Having too high a status would be disadvantageous for her actions. After all, she had only heard of noble ladies having shops, but had never heard of noble ladies doing business personally.

"Okay, I'll do as Madam said. Speaking of going to Southern Xinjiang, Zhao Hengzhi said that the emperor told him that his father and elder brother had committed suicide at the border, but the people he sent were kidnapped by a group of people from Southern Xinjiang before they could beheaded them. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

Mu Yibai fell into deep thought. Today he talked with Zhao Hengzhi in the study for an entire afternoon. From his sincere expression, he saw only brotherhood, and there was no way to coincide him with the person who had become his enemy in his previous life. He was already conflicted when he heard Xi Ji telling the truth about his previous life last time, and now he was even more conflicted after communicating with Zhao Hengzhi face to face.

He always thought he had some ability in judging people, but when he was in a situation where emotional issues were involved, it was often difficult for him to make rational and confident judgments.

"Zi Yan also told me about this. No matter what, this is at least a clue. Our future target is Southern Xinjiang. Does he have any other clues?"

Fu Yunxi also saw through Mu Yibai's complicated feelings towards Zhao Hengzhi. There had always been misunderstandings between the two of them. Unlike her and Fu Ziyan, who could determine whether they were enemies or friends with a simple test, the grudges between him and Zhao Hengzhi were something only he had to sort out himself.

He also mentioned that he had privately questioned the guards who were ordered to go to the border. The reason why the emperor was suspicious of that group of people and determined that they were from southern Xinjiang was that there was a totem on their swords, which was similar to the ancient symbol of a certain family. He has drawn it for me, but I still need to investigate further.

Mu Yibai also thought that this clue was extremely crucial. If he could really find his father and brother in southern Xinjiang, Zhao Hengzhi would be credited with this achievement.

"A totem? My husband will draw it for me tomorrow, and I will ask Zi Yan, maybe she knows."

For matters like these that require investigation, it is better to ask her system. To put it bluntly, the system is a plug-in provided by heaven or the author for the male and female protagonists, and it must be used well!

"Madam, you seem to get along well with the girl that Zhao Hengzhi brought with you today. Could it be that you feel bored after staying here for too long? If we wait a little longer, we can leave Lianjiang County."

Mu Yibai only thought that Fu Yunxi showed kindness to the woman because of his relationship with Zhao Hengzhi, and never thought that they might be in the same future world.

"I'm not feeling depressed. It's fate. Fu Ziyan and I are from the same place, and she's also my senior sister. But her appearance has changed a lot, and we didn't dare to recognize her at first. This afternoon, we talked about many things in the past, and we were so happy!"

Fu Yunxi has decided to confess to Mu Yibai. He has already told her about her rebirth, but she has never found an opportunity to reveal her identity. Now is the perfect opportunity, and maybe it can help the two brothers resolve the problems in their hearts.

"Oh? How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

I didn't think it through. You were exiled here with us alone, without any relatives around you. You must miss your hometown very much. Madam, you have worked hard."

Mu Yibai hugged Fu Yunxi tighter. He had expected that Xier was not an ordinary person. How could a little concubine's daughter of the Fu family possess such great military and literary skills? However, he did not question what Xier said about her hometown. Instead, he immediately blamed himself for his negligence.

"It would be a lie to say that I don't miss my hometown. It's just that my hometown is very far away from here, and I may never be able to go back in my lifetime."

Fu Yunxi struggled to break free from Mu Yibai's arms. She supported herself on the bed with her elbows and looked at him from top to bottom.

"In fact, I have never told you that I came from a world thousands of years later. To be exact, my soul came from a world thousands of years later. I have the same name and surname as Fu Yunxi, and we look similar. I traveled here by chance, and today I found out that Fu Ziyan is my senior sister from that world. I am so excited!"

Fu Yunxi looked at Mu Yibai with sparkling eyes. She finally told him her biggest secret. She felt relieved and sweet at the same time exchanging secrets with Mu Yibai.

"Xier——"

After hearing this, Mu Yibai stood up and hugged Fu Yunxi tightly in his arms again. He had imagined countless possibilities, but he had never thought that his wife's soul came from thousands of years later and did not belong here at all. Would she disappear at any time?
