Yan Li held the teacup tightly, her eyes lowered and she said nothing.

If she were an ordinary woman, she would be so moved that she would immediately pledge her love to him and repay him with a deep love that would last until death.

But what happened to her and Mu Cang was not just a personal relationship, but the two countries.

Yan Li had to think deeply, was Mu Cang already fully prepared and ready to leave at any time?

Was it just because of her?

Frowning slightly, Yan Li silently sipped a sip of tea and slowly said: "How long have you had this idea in your mind?"

Mu Cang said: "Four plans and layouts, as if everything is ready."

Yan Li frowned: "Four?"

Mu Cang nodded calmly, his expression calm: "Yes."

"Mu Cang." Yan Li looked up at his angular profile and spoke carefully, "Although I don't know what makes you so persistent, you should know that the marriage between the two countries is no child's play, and the civil and military officials of the whole court cannot sit idly by."

The people in power in various countries almost unanimously believe that those who are not of the same race must be different.

Mu Cang is the god of war of the Mu Kingdom. His identity and ability are enough to make any king and nobles of any country fearful.

Even the powerful Southern Kingdom cannot completely ignore his existence - especially after he gave up his status as the Ninth Prince of Mu Kingdom and entered the Southern Kingdom alone.

The ministers of the Southern Kingdom would only think that he had bad intentions.

If you think about it in the long term - even if one day they become a legitimate couple, the powerful ministers and major families of the Southern Kingdom will not easily accept the fact that he has entered the Southern Kingdom royal family.

There are many obstacles between them, and it is not a simple matter of giving up one's status to solve the problem.

"I know." Mu Cang's tone is calm and steady, and he looks like he is planning a strategy, "but these are not the problem."

Yan Li was silent, and then nodded slowly.

Yes, she thought of the problem, and the scheming Mu Cang must have thought of it.

So in his perfect plan, he actually had a plan to deal with it?

"I promise that I have no wrongdoings." Mu Cang didn't want her to be suspicious, so he took the initiative to explain, "I said before that I will let you know after we get married, and there will be no concealment."

Yan Li heard this and thought of the question she asked him last time.

Mu Cang has an unusually keen sense of smell for the four people in Tianshu. Is his intelligence really so powerful that he can control the shadow guards of other countries?

There are too many questions in her heart that have not been answered, but because of Mu Cang's promise, it would be against morality to ask at this time.

Yan Li frowned, and she actually had a rare feeling of helplessness and irritability in her heart.

She couldn't even accurately say what the reason for her irritability was.

Because she couldn't bear to refuse Mu Cang? Was she not good at love between men and women? Or was she troubled by the dilemma in front of her?

Yan Li couldn't explain it clearly, but she only vaguely realized that since she provoked Mu Cang, they were destined to be entangled for a lifetime.

Brushing away the thoughts in her head, she relaxed her body and leaned against the soft couch, and simply changed the topic: "Will the Ninth Emperor become the first Ninth Prince?"

"It doesn't have to be the first one." Mu Cang's mouth corners slightly raised, and his expression was also a little relaxed. "Every general has his own way of leading troops and combat methods. As long as he protects the country and blocks the enemy's troops, he is a qualified general."

Yan Li raised his eyes slightly: "You don't plan to lead him yourself?"

Mu Cang's expression paused slightly, a strange color flashed across his eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became a little warmer: "I always think you are the most suitable two people in the world."

Yan Li subtle: "..."

Mu Cang's eyes were deep, and he locked Yan Li's eyebrows.

Even though this face is completely different from the one he admires, the character and bearing between his eyebrows are exactly the same.

Mu Cang is not a person who disregards the overall situation for personal feelings, but there is no other person in this world who can make him willing to pay for it, just to know and stay with each other for a lifetime.

"Mu Cang." Yan Li spoke slowly, "Pay attention to your image and majesty as a god of war."

Mu Cang laughed, and his cold eyebrows and eyes suddenly seemed to melt like ice and snow, and in an instant they were dyed with boundless elegance and beauty.

Yan Li's eyes flickered slightly, and his expression was absent-minded for a moment.

"No matter how strong and cold a person is, once he meets a woman who makes him fall in love with her, he is willing to be his minister." Mu Cang said in a low voice, "Emotions change people beyond recognition, and no one is an exception."

What is dignity?

On the battlefield, he is serious and intimidating, and maintains the cold image and majesty of the god of war in front of his soldiers. The purpose is to enforce military discipline and rectify the military style, so that his soldiers will be convinced and obey orders.

But in front of the person you love, dignity is the most useless thing.

"I have learned so many things since I was a child." Yan Li lowered her eyes gently, "I have never been exposed to love between men and women, chess, calligraphy, poetry, wine and tea, martial arts, strategy and imperial arts."

Mu Cang's voice was gentle: "It doesn't matter, I don't ask you to be deeply in love with me, and I don't even ask you to give me much response, as long as you are willing to give me a chance."

Her responsibility is the country and the country.

What she wants to do is to be responsible for the people.

Then he will stand behind her, protect her well, and be her most solid backing.

"There is another question." Yan Li hesitated, as if he spoke after careful consideration, "Your identity is destined to be unable to be a couple in this life, so..."

So what?

Mu Cang fell silent, and his hand holding the teacup tightened unconsciously.

The emperor's three palaces are indispensable.

It's not just for the issue of heirs. After all, she is a woman, and the matter of raising an heir cannot be done by others.

More importantly, it is to maintain the stability of imperial power.

Since ancient times, the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers are inseparable. The ministers sent their daughters to the palace to serve the emperor, and used the relationship of in-laws to maintain the balance between the emperor's family and the ministers.

The emperor used this method to win over the aristocratic families and make people willing to offer their loyalty.

The ministers used this method to get a little benefit from the emperor.

This is an eternal rule.

"It doesn't matter." Mu Cang's hand holding the teacup loosened slightly, and he said, "If we can't find a win-win solution in the end, I am willing to compromise."

This is a lie, Mu Cang thought.

He can't compromise.

No one knows how many things he has planned and arranged, and no one knows how domineering he is and how strong his possessiveness is. Tianlai Novel Network
