I looked at Mu Ruoyan's expressionless face and said "gudong, gudong" in my heart. I turned my head and looked around, and found that all the servants had normal expressions, but two of them had different expressions.

Although Xian'er kept bowing her head by the side, she would peek at me from time to time. I noticed that she seemed haggard, probably because she was worried about me these days.

The other one is Yun'er, who still has that face of watching the show, rub... really makes people uncomfortable.

I cleared my throat and said, "Cough, you all go down."

"promise..."

The servants looked at each other, saluted and retreated.

"Yun'er, go down"

I sighed secretly, this is really a big bully, every time I give an order, I have to say it a second time, and it may not work, wrong!It must not work!

Mu Ruoyan nodded at Yun'er, signaling for her to back down too.

Before going out, Yun'er Weifu did not forget to close the door of the hall so that the conversation between the two in the hall would not be heard by others.

I thought that Mu Ruoyan would speak first, but who knew that she still looked at me calmly, her black eyes were as deep as an ancient spring, and she couldn't see through what she was thinking at the moment.

I frowned, met her eyes and said cautiously, "How are you these days?"

When Mu Ruoyan heard Zhi Ge's words, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she asked, "What do you think?"

"Uh…"

I laughed unnaturally, "Hehe, hehe, I made you worry, did the assassin catch him?"

Mu Ruoyan shook her head, "They have received special training and have taken poison before the assassination. If the assassination fails or they don't return on time, they will die from the poison."

"Oh"

I nodded dully, "Me and Ruoling..."

"Ah…"

Mu Ruoyan sneered, "What's the matter with you?"

"Uh…"

"It's nothing, but she happened to be there that day and was injured in order to save me."

I originally wanted to admit my "mistake" and tell her about myself and Mu Ruoling, but for some reason I always felt that she was weird, and that sneer made all the pores of my body stand up.

"Um"

"Then another day you have to visit the door in person to thank them."

Mu Ruoyan said lightly.

"Um"

I watched her to see how much she was telling the truth.

"You want me to see Mu Ruoling?"

With her wisdom, how can she not see that there is a problem between me and Mu Ruoling? I didn't want to hide anything. I made a plan before I came back. If she asks me, I will tell her everything, but Now the situation seems to be different from what I expected, what is she thinking?

"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Go take a shower and change clothes, you look like a savage"

Mu Ruoyan said with a smile, although she tried her best to make her tone gentler, it was still hard to hide her bluntness.

"Hehe, then I'll take a shower and come back to you"

I murmured in my heart, the more I looked at her, the more I felt that there was a problem. Do we still need the word "forbearance" between me and her?

My heart sank a little, maybe it was the matter between me and Mu Ruoling that hurt her heart, so she became a "virtuous wife" again, like many wives from rich families who don't care about women whose husbands are outside.

Does this mean she has given up on me?You don't even want to quarrel with me?

"Xian'er, is everything okay at home these days when I'm missing?"

I asked.

"His Royal Highness is very capable, and everything in the house is in order. Her Royal Highness announced to the outside world that you have contracted a cold and closed the door to thank guests. Although there are many rumors about you and Princess Ling outside, your Royal Highness and the number one scholar have the same caliber.

So nothing major has happened so far. "

Xian'er said.

I nodded, turned to look at Xian'er and asked, "What about you?"

"I?"

Xian'er pointed and looked at Zhi Ge in confusion.

"I said, did you not eat and sleep well? Look, you've lost weight"

I said.

"Xian'er is gone, eat well and sleep well"

Xian'er said mischievously, now that Zhige came back safe and sound, she felt relieved, and didn't want to make the other party feel guilty and troubled because of her little things.

"ummmmm"

I smiled and nodded repeatedly, "It's no wonder I believe you. I'm fine now. Since you are such a cute little girl, I have a big gift for you to celebrate your 16th birthday."

"What big gift?" Xian'er asked with her big eyes flickering.

"hey-hey"

"Secret, you'll know when the time comes." I smiled, although I promised to marry Xian'er, my feeling towards her is completely different from Mu Ruoyan and the others. I have love for them, but I have affection for Xian'er. I regard her as my confidant, like my younger sister. No matter what angle I stand on, I don't want to destroy the pure relationship between each other. Besides, being my woman is not necessarily a good thing. If there are more women, there will be more troubles, and what they say is not good Each is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I don't want to drag the innocent little fairy into it again.

Xian'er pouted and said coquettishly, "Young master, please tell me, otherwise Xian'er will not be able to sleep again tonight."

"Hey, little girl, tell me again, haven't you slept well for several nights?" I asked.

Uh…

Xian'er knew that she had slipped her lips, so she pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking.

"Hehe, okay, go and rest quickly, I can do the rest by myself," I said.

"How did that happen?"

Xian'er stared at her beautiful eyes and said, "How can I let you come by yourself?"

"Why can't I? I'm not missing an arm or a leg. Ann, you go to rest or there will be no surprises." I smiled and pushed Xianer away.

"Young master, you..."

"What? No one in this house listens to me, and now you don't even listen to me?"

I deliberately put on a straight face and showed the majesty of the little grandpa, and sure enough, Xian'er immediately lowered her head and said, "Xian'er dare not."

"Hehe, let's go"

I patted Xiao Xian'er on the shoulder and smiled.

"Then Xian'er will leave." Xian'er reluctantly left the room.

***

"The Concubine"

Several maidservants saluted Zhi Ge when they saw him.

I nodded slightly, stepped into the bedroom, and saw Mu Ruoyan sitting at the wooden table waiting for me.

When Mu Ruoyan saw Zhi Ge coming in, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, reflecting the afterglow of the sunset, it was so beautiful.

I was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you standing there stupidly? Aren't you hungry?" Mu Ruoyan said as she ordered the maidservant at the side to stop Gobucai.

"hehe"

"It's delicious, you can eat nothing just by looking at you"

I smiled and sat across from her.

Mu Ruoyan blushed and did not accept Zhige's words.

My heart sank again, this would be replaced by a blank stare, but now that she is like this, I am even more troubled, thinking that I must explain to her at night, that I should admit my mistakes and admit my mistakes, and do whatever I want, I said before However, what I am most afraid of is not jealousy but being as nonchalant as I am now.

Whether it's a couple or a couple, it's normal to be noisy, if one day she doesn't care about you, it's basically over.

"Why don't you eat it? Isn't it delicious?" Mu Ruoyan asked after seeing Zhi Ge staring at herself.

I smiled and shook my head, picked up the food in the bowl and barely chewed it a few times. It should taste good, but I'm not in the mood right now.

After a meal, the two of us had our own thoughts, and there was almost no communication. This may be the least we have talked since we got married.

When they first got married, they quarreled and got angry. Although the court etiquette was there, they bickered like many newlywed couples. It was sweet and sweet. Now... are they entering the old couple in advance?

"Do you have any plans for today?"

I took a sip of my tea and asked.

"no"

Mu Ruoyan said lightly.

"Oh"

I nodded and said, "Nothing happened in these places?"

"It doesn't matter if someone wants to take advantage of my uncle's presence," Mu Ruoyan said.

As soon as she said "uncle", I thought that I should go back to Jinnan Gongfu to meet my parents, especially my mother didn't know what to worry about.

Seeing Zhige's expression, Mu Ruoyan knew what he was thinking, and said, "Auntie doesn't know about your disappearance."

"Oh, that's good, otherwise my mother will definitely have to worry about it again," I said, "I'll go to the Ministry of War in a while."

"It's already this hour, and besides, you just got out of danger, it's better to spend a few days in the mansion to recuperate, I sent someone to inform you that you're back at Uncle's place early in the morning, so that he can feel at ease." Mu Ruoyan said.

I hesitated for a while, thinking that my disappearance for the past few days had already delayed my original plan, and any further delay would be detrimental to the country and myself.

"Is there any latest news about the mountains in the southwest?" I asked.

"Prince Rui's people have lost battles one after another, and the imperial court has suffered heavy losses. Recently, the royal father has summoned you several times, and I have used various reasons to shirk you. You said you have a solution before, but what is the solution?" Muro said. Yan asked.

I shook my head and said, "I won't know if it's feasible until I get there. I'll go to the military department first to find my father, and I may come back later."

Zhi Ge still didn't say exactly what to do, and Mu Ruoyan didn't plan to ask any more, "Be careful on the road".

"Um"

I got up and lightly supported Mu Ruoyan's shoulder.

Mu Ruoyan looked thoughtfully at the direction Zhi Ge left and said calmly, "I'm full, let's leave."

"promise..."

"Your Highness, why don't you..."

Mu Ruoyan waved her hand to signal Yun'er not to talk too much, "You help me to rest for a while."

Yun'er hated Chunyu Zhige to death in her heart, during this time the princess was busy working day and night while he was having a good time with other women.

She really didn't understand why the princess had to put up with the other party's various outrageous behaviors. First, Cheng Yuqing, and now she made up a princess Ling. Seeing her master being wronged, Yun'er felt uncomfortable.

Ministry of War...

"Father, I..."

"You don't need to say more, I just want to ask you, are you and Princess Ling really..." Chunyu Feng looked serious, he knew his son very well, he was young, energetic and feminine, and he was missing for so many days. It's hard not to do anything, even though I already have a conclusion in my heart, I still can't help but listen to Zhi Ge's answer.

I nodded and didn't dare to speak. I sneaked a look at my father's face, and sure enough, his face became extremely ugly when he saw me confessing.

Chunyu Feng sighed heavily, "Hey... you, when can you change this problem, who is not good for you to touch, but Princess Ling, do you know that her mother and concubine almost killed your aunt."

"Father, I didn't think carefully about this matter," I admitted my mistake,

"It's okay for a man to have a few women, but Mu Ruoling, don't get involved with her anymore. There are so many beautiful women in the world. I don't think you will be angry with a princess, but don't overdo it. Save some face for her." Chun Yufeng said.

I heard my father's words, no matter how I listened, I felt uncomfortable. Although I am a scumbag, I can't have anything with any woman. I am with her because I like Mu Ruoling. I think my father misunderstood us. .

I was about to explain and was interrupted by my father.

"In half a month, Jiang Yi and his son will return to court."

Jiang Yi was a generation older than Chunyu Feng, the current patriarch of the Jiang clan, and the father of Concubine Qing.

The Jiang family is also the only Shixun family that can rival the Chunyu family, but compared to the Chunyu family, the Jiang family has a prosperous heir. Jiang Yi has seven sons and three daughters. , a young talent like Jiang Huanyu.

Each of them holds an important position in the army and is a real general.

Ever since I knew that there was a Jiang family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I understood the emperor's father-in-law's strategy of controlling his ministers. Like many ancient emperors, he used two rival families to restrain each other, and he wanted to maintain the "balance" in front of him.

Before I got married with Mu Ruoyan, because of "I"'s inability to become a talent, and later Chunyu Zhizhan was beaten into a hemiplegia by me, Chunyu's family had countless wealth here but faced the situation of no successors, so the emperor Only then did she try her best to elevate the Chunyu family, not only marrying the most outstanding daughter to me, the dispirited son of the Chunyu family, but also defending me everywhere.

I was thinking, what would happen to Mu Ruoyan if I hadn't been reborn through time travel, Chunyu Zhige or Chunyu Zhige?

Although Mu Xun loved his daughter dearly, he did not hesitate to sacrifice Mu Ruoyan's happiness to allow the two families to marry to achieve the so-called "balance". This world of power is really terrifying.

"Why did Jiang's father and son come back suddenly?" I asked.

"There is news from the palace that Concubine Qing is pregnant with a dragon fetus." Chun Yufeng said.

"You mean...the purpose of Jiang's father and son's return this time is the dragon chair?"

I asked, but I also felt something was wrong, there was no reason for them to have such a big battle over a child who had not yet been born, could it be that they had reached some kind of agreement with Prince Rui?It's not impossible, half of the prince's body is the blood of Chunyu's family. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely suppress the Jiang family.

Chun Yufeng nodded slightly, "Jiang Yi only brought back two sons this time, leaving Jiang Huanyu to lead the army at the border."

I thought to myself that this old guy really did his best. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with this time, but I think my emperor father-in-law will be happy to see it succeed.
