Women's First Swordsman [Transmigration Book]

On the second day, at the gate of Baihe Station.

The carriage sent by the Prince's Mansion was waiting on the side of the road early in the morning, and the two black-maned horses kept pawing the ground, as if they were getting impatient.

The three monks each carried their bags and stepped out of the threshold together with Mu Bai and Su Mo.

The two sides greeted each other with a few words of "Farewell", "Bon voyage", and Su Mo got into the carriage.

Mu Bai went in after him, and heard the little monk grinning from behind and said, "Brother Taxue, come to Konggu Temple to play with us when you have time."

He turned his head and said seriously: "Okay, I will definitely go when I have time."

The curtain was lowered, and the coachman raised his whip and shouted: "Drive—"

The carriage drove away.

Mubai raised the curtain of the small window on the side of the carriage and peeped out, and he could still see the little monk waving at him on the spot, Kong Yan and Kong Yuan were also watching this side.

He bent his eyes and smiled, and retracted into the carriage, the smile disappeared, and his whole body suddenly sank down.

Su Mo caught a glimpse of Mu Bai's expression from the corner of his eye, took his hand lightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Bai shook his head, only said: "I haven't been back to Qinglian Valley for a long time."

Probably his body was too weak to move, and he was unwilling to be paralyzed like stagnant water, so his emotions became extremely active in the past two days.

Saying goodbye to the old man Baihe yesterday, he reminded him of his master, seeing the relationship between the three brothers in Konggu Temple, and thinking of his sisters.

Thinking about it carefully, I have already left Qinglian Valley for more than half a year.

Su Mo said softly, "I'll accompany you back when I'm free in a while."

Mu Bai then asked: "After returning to the imperial capital, is there any arrangement?"

Su Mo said: "After you go back, take a good rest for two days. When you feel better, I will take you to visit Mr. Peng and the Seventh Prince."

In the imperial capital, two ministers on the reward list have been picked up by Mu Bai, and it is easy for him to sneak in the others.

Only Mr. Peng holds high authority in the court. Although the security of the mansion is not as strict as that of Jialan's Prime Minister Wei, there is still a certain risk of sneaking in without knowing the way.

However, Mu Bai had never heard of the Seventh Prince, nor had Su Mo mentioned which minister was his henchman before.

Could it be that this prince is Su Mo who wants to bring down his rival?

"What are you thinking?" Su Mo said softly, "In the palace, only the Seventh Prince Su Cheng has a good personal relationship with me, so I plan to take you to meet him, not to tell you to break into other people's houses in the middle of the night."

Mubai: "Oh..."

Su Mo lowered his eyes and said calmly: "After my concubine mother passed away, the concubine next to me wished I could die. Only Su Cheng's biological mother, Concubine Lan, took care of me everywhere. Without her, I'm afraid... I was ignorant when I was young." , often provoked the anger of my father, and when I was punished, Su Cheng secretly came to see me at the order of Concubine Lan and gave me some food. Because of this, we formed a friendship, and we are better than other princes."

"Right now, father's health is getting worse day by day, and the royal infighting is at its most intense time. Su Chengde has both talents. In my opinion, among the many princes, he is the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne. It's a pity that Concubine Lan passed away. Early, failed to pave the way for him..."

Hearing this, Mu Bai coughed: "What about you? Aren't you also a prince?"

As far as being the emperor, Su Mo was the last one to ascend the throne, even though he died not long after he reigned.

"I—" Su Mo asked with a smile, "I have a wife, what do I need the throne for?"

Mu Bai didn't expect him to say that, almost choked, and choked several times.

Avoiding Su Mo's sight, he lowered his head to find a water bottle, took a big gulp, and then slowed down, and said softly, "I believe in your evil."

Su Mo raised his eyebrows: "What? You want me to seize the throne, and after I take the throne, I will be chased by those ministers every day to serve as a concubine?"

Mu Bai suddenly remembered that in the original text, the five princes would take care of everything after becoming emperor, but they didn't care about expanding the harem and continuing the bloodline.

It is good for the king of a country not to indulge in beauty, but Su Mo has already reached the point of abstinence.There are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem next to him. His harem is empty, and the ministers are so anxious to hand over memorials every day, persuading him to accept the concubine.

Mu Bai still remembered that when he read the original text, he once doubted whether Su Mo was not good, or he was frigid.

But it turns out to be neither.

From Mu Bai's personal experience, His Royal Highness is very good at it, and he is very talented, every frown and smile seems to be teasing people's hearts.

Mu Bai raised his eyes and looked at Su Mo: "My good brother, do you naturally like men?"

Su Mo shook his head and said, "That's not true, I just happened to meet you."

"Before me, have you ever liked someone else?"

Su Mo thought for a while, and slowly said: "I experienced some things when I was young, and I almost became a useless person. After that, it was difficult to trust others, let alone be emotional. After the coronation ceremony, they once asked me to choose from among the ladies in the imperial capital. A suitable marriage came in, and I pushed it."

"why?"

Su Mo said softly, "I'm afraid that if I wake up in the middle of the night, I will kill the person next to me."

"... so scary?"

Su Mo laughed: "Ma'am, don't be afraid."

"No." Mu Bai raised his hand and touched the cold back of his neck, "If you say that, I won't be able to sleep well at night."

"Sorry." Su Mo leaned over and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

But didn't explain much.

Mu Bai lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and thought it was the same.

With Su Mo's suspicious nature, if he were to marry a good-matched, emotionless person as his pillow partner, he might not even dare to turn over and hand over his back to the other party when he slept at night.

And he doesn't trust others, and he has a cold temper, so it's not easy to have sincere feelings for someone.

but……

Mu Bai suddenly thought that when he woke up in the morning, all he saw was Su Mo still in a deep sleep, unsuspecting.

For Su Mo, he is someone who can be trusted.

Mubai figured it out, put his arm around Su Mo's shoulder, buried his face in his shoulder, closed his eyes and said softly, "I'll squint for a while, call me when I arrive."

Su Mo lowered his eyes and smiled lightly.

Just now he said that he could not sleep well, so now he is sleeping on his shoulders.

He adjusted his posture so that Mu Bai could sleep more comfortably, and suddenly he heard a very soft voice say, "Brother Su Mo, I believe you too."

"..."

It was almost evening when the carriage arrived at the Prince's Mansion.

Open the curtain of the small window, and you can see the majestic and grand palace of Wuti Kingdom in the distance. More than a hundred lanterns are lit one after another, reflecting the purple-gray clouds in the sky brilliantly.

Mu Bai changed into a dress on the carriage, and put on some powder.The weather is getting cooler this season, and the clothes are tightly buttoned to the chin, so there is no need to prepare an extra scarf.

After changing his clothes, he got out of the curtain.

The coachman had already left, and only Su Mo was waiting underneath.

When he jumped out of the car, Mu Bai staggered, but fortunately Su Mo caught him in time.

"Be careful."

Mu Bai raised his hand and rubbed his waist, drooping his brows and eyes, looking very aggrieved.

Su Mo laughed at him: "The body is so empty, and it's still alive and kicking all day long."

Mu Bai was not convinced and said: "His Royal Highness is very strong, why not pretend to be sick all day long."

"Cough." Su Mo coughed and helped him step over the threshold.

Ye Xing and Jin Yi waited for a long time, and when they saw them, they went up to meet them.

Seeing that Mubai was walking with a half limp, Jin Yi hurried over to help him: "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

"I got a little injury." Mu Bai said, "It's okay."

"Ma'am, you and His Highness just got married, and you haven't come home for three days, and you've gotten yourself injured all over your body. What did you do?" Jin Yi said softly, "Just rest in the mansion these few days, don't let people Gossip."

Mu Bai raised his eyebrows: "Who is talking gossip?"

Jin Yi opened his mouth to say something, but Su Mo glanced at him, so he could only swallow it.

Mu Bai sensed something was wrong and turned to look at him.

Su Mo said softly: "There is a maid in the house who talks too much and has already been kicked out."

"Oh."

Mu Bai heaved a sigh of relief, and heard Ye Xing say again: "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince has come to see you. I heard that you haven't come back yet. You are waiting in the teahouse right now."

"Su Cheng is here? Just right, I plan to visit him in two days." Su Mo asked, "Xiaobai, how are you, can you go?"

Before Mu Bai could answer, he saw Ye Xing sticking it to Su Mo's ear and said something.

Su Mo's expression changed slightly, and he said again: "Xiaobai, I'll help you go back to the house to rest first."

Mu Bai was surprised: "Didn't you want to take me to see Su Cheng? I can still go."

Originally, he didn't really want to see the Seventh Prince, but he just saw that they were mysterious, as if they had something to hide from him, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Su Mo said: "Su Cheng asked me to discuss some personal matters, and I will bring him to see you later."

"Oh...then you can just go there and let Jin Yi help me back to the house."

After Su Mo left, Mu Bai asked Jin Yi in a low voice, "Is there something they are hiding from me?"

Jin Yi opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Mu Bai: "Tell me, I won't betray you."

"Ma'am." Jin Yi frowned, and said in a low voice, "You don't know, all the ministers and princes in the imperial capital are spreading rumors that His Highness has a bad relationship with you."

"what?"

"After that talkative servant girl was expelled from the mansion, she told others about it. It happened that His Highness went to find you, and he was not in the imperial capital, so he couldn't suppress the news. A few days passed and there was a commotion. The prince has heard about it."

Mu Bai: "So that's why he came here?"

Jin Yi smacked his lips: "The Seventh Prince has a good relationship with His Highness. I heard that his newly married Mrs. Yan Er ran away. Of course I want to ask... Madame, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly."

Mu Bai shook his head: "It's because I didn't think carefully, and I let your Highness show people a joke for no reason."

"Where is this talking?" Jin Yi said, "Madam is the young master of Qinglian Valley. She is used to walking around the rivers and lakes freely, so naturally she doesn't want to be confined in the mansion. Those people are very talkative, don't worry about them, let's be more cautious next time. , just don’t lose your tongue.”

"Yeah." Mu Bai drooped his brows and said awkwardly, "No wonder Su Mo won't let me follow."

"Don't think too much, Ma'am. Your Highness is afraid that the Seventh Prince will say something inappropriate in front of you. After a while, the two of them will come over to accompany you naturally."

"……Um."

After returning to the room, Jin Yi boiled hot water, Mu Bai took a bath, and changed into a white palace dress embroidered with cloud patterns.

This is the court attire of Wuti Kingdom, it looks light and elegant, and the toga and wide sleeves are really romantic.It's just that the dressing steps are very cumbersome. He thought it was troublesome before and never wore it.

Mu Bai walked to the bronze mirror and turned around, and found that the upper body of the palace dress was really beautiful.But his complexion is not good now, and the white looks a little plain, so he took the Qinglian Sword and pinned it to the brocade belt around his waist, to add a little color.

The black hair was loose, soaked in the petal-scented water vapor, and still slightly damp.Mu Bai took a wooden comb to straighten it, and just tied up his hair in a bun, when he heard the sound of conversation outside the house.

It seems that Su Mo and the Seventh Prince are here.

He put down his comb, tidied up his palace clothes, and stepped out of the house.

Even if Su Mo and Mu Bai looked up and saw the figure in white clothes at the end of the corridor, they were also amazed.

The Seventh Prince Su Cheng beside him stared dumbfounded, staring blankly for two breaths before looking away.

Just now Su Cheng still felt that his royal brother was obsessed by ghosts, the newlywed Yan Er stayed alone in the vacant room, and even spoke for the runaway wife.Seeing the emperor's wife herself now, he is even more convinced of this idea.

This girl was born so beautiful, she stayed out of the night just after getting married, who knows why she went there?Brother Wuhuang must have been dazed by the beauty, but he didn't suspect anything at all.

Su Cheng rubbed his chin, thinking of an idea.

He pretended not to see someone coming from the opposite side, turned his head and asked Su Mo, "Brother Huang, I'll see my sister-in-law later, and I'll ask you about taking concubines. She doesn't stay home when she just gets married, so you're not allowed." Marry two side concubines into the mansion?"

The sound was neither loud nor low, just enough to be heard by the people walking in the corridor.

Su Mo: "?"

Just now in the teahouse, he had clearly agreed not to mention this matter, why did he come again?

He didn't think about how to explain it for a while, but he heard that Mubai had come up to him, and said with a soft smile, "Take a concubine? Yes, I agree."

Su Cheng's eyes lit up.

Brother Huang should understand now that the beauty in white didn't care about him at all.

That's right, newlywed Yaner doesn't stay at home, and still cares about whether her husband takes concubines?It's only pity that Brother Wuhuang made a foolish mistake in paying.

After doing a full set of acting, you should turn your head and pretend to be surprised: "Why is sister-in-law here?"

Su Cheng turned his head, and before he could speak, he was really shocked.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."

"Well, you, you take the sword back first, and speak well if you have something to say."
