When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

As the night deepened, the tea in the teacup had already gone cold.

Mu Cang still hadn't figured out what to say, because the truth was complicated and could not be explained in just a few words. It was too early to tell her the truth before the wedding, and he was worried that she would really cancel the engagement if he refused directly.

The Ninth Prince, who was decisive and invincible on the battlefield, was actually defeated by a 14-year-old girl at this time. He was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

Time passed little by little.

Mu Cang frowned slightly, but his voice was gentle: "I will tell you everything after we get married."

Yan Li smiled and said playfully: "If I know that the prince is plotting something bad after we get married, won't I have to divorce him?"

Mu Cang's eyes darkened: "Do you want to divorce me?"

"It depends on the situation." Yan Li's tone was calm, and it sounded like she was talking about something very ordinary. "If there is a conspiracy, why not divorce me?"

Mu Cang was silent: "There is no conspiracy, and there is no bad intention."

"Well." Yan Li nodded, "Then don't divorce me."

Mu Cang's expression relaxed slightly.

He always had a calm expression and was used to not showing his emotions, so the expression between his eyebrows and eyes did not change obviously at this time, and his tone was definitely a little relaxed: "You can't regret it after you get married."

Yan Li raised his eyebrows slowly.

"This prince is a stubborn person. Once married, I must stick to it for life and not change my mind."

Yan Li lowered her eyes and stared at the teacup in her hand for a while. After a moment, she picked up the teacup and sipped the tea.

The tea was cold.

Yan Li put the teacup down and thought carefully for a moment: "I am not sure that I will stick to you for a lifetime."

Being honest is her style, especially when the person sitting opposite her is Mu Cang, who should be respected the most.

"Your Highness should understand what I mean." Yan Li said with a little apology, "I can't make a promise for the time being if I am not sure whether I can do it."

Mu Cang nodded slowly: "It doesn't matter, as long as the wedding is held as scheduled."

Everyone thought that Yan Li wanted to marry him and asked for this marriage by relying on the emperor's favor, but no one knew how much Mu Cang had secretly planned and prepared in order to be with her.

It's not that Yan Li must marry him, but he tried his best to marry her.

The night outside was getting darker.

Mu Cang knew that it was not polite to stay any longer, so he stood up slowly, his figure tall and straight: "I came here tonight just to make sure that the wedding ceremony can be held as scheduled, nothing else, you have a good rest."

Yan Li stood up and nodded: "Your Highness, take care."

Mu Cang turned and left.

Yan Li stood in front of the window, quietly watching him disappear into the night, with deep thoughts on her brows. After an unknown amount of time, she said lightly: "Tian Shu."

Tian Shu flashed and knelt down.

"The instructor of the Southern Shadow Pavilion, have you ever seen his true face?"

"No." Tianshu replied respectfully, "The Shadow Pavilion has always had rules. Whether it is a shadow guard or an instructor, they must wear a mask before leaving the pavilion, and their true face cannot be easily seen by others. After the shadow guard leaves the pavilion and recognizes the master, only the master can see his true face."

Yan Li frowned: "So the instructor of the Shadow Pavilion has always worn a mask?"

"Yes."

Yan Li knew that the shadow guards had their own identity tags, and the masks were not completely the same, there would always be some differences, so the identification of the identity was not a problem.

However, she didn't know much about the rules within the Shadow Pavilion.

But one thing is certain, the rules of the Shadow Pavilion are strict, and the selection of teachers in all generations is extremely strict. In addition to being strong and unmatched, there is absolutely no room for selfishness. It is necessary to ensure that the teachers are loyal to the emperor, and the shadow guards trained by the teachers are loyal to the royal family.

Yan Li pondered for a moment: "How much do you know about the royal family of Northern Frontier?"

"Two years ago, a regent of a different surname appeared in Northern Frontier, and almost controlled the military power and government power of the entire Northern Frontier."

Two years ago?

Yan Li frowned slightly, always feeling that her guess was a bit unbelievable.

The secrets hidden in Mu Cang were too deep, so she couldn't help but think of those unbelievable abilities-especially Mu Cang's feelings for her.

If they had only met a few times, their feelings would not be so deep that they could not live without her, and their understanding of her would not be so deep that they could easily guess her identity.

Especially, he was too calm and composed about the matter of borrowing a corpse to revive, and even defended her when the ministers in the court impeached her as an evil spirit, as if he was used to such things.

She was not the Yan Li before, but Xuanyuan Xihe of the Southern Kingdom.

Her intelligence was enough to let her notice the unusualness of Mu Cang. If - if her judgment was correct, Mu Cang was really the mysterious instructor of the Shadow Pavilion, then who were those people stationed at the border and fighting against the Northern Frontier?
