Chapter 116: The Savage Jianning

"You really dare to think so!"

When Zhao Mu heard this, he was speechless.

Not to mention whether he could take Princess Xiangxiang out of the palace. Even if he did it, once Kangxi discovered that Princess Xiangxiang was missing and started an investigation, if he was involved, the trust that he had worked so hard to build between him and Kangxi would completely collapse.

No matter from which perspective, Zhao Mu would never take this risk.

Princess Xiangxiang is not that important to him, and the same goes for Jianning.

Zhao Mu would never do anything like disrupting his plans for their sake.

"If she disappears, won't your royal brother track her down? Then many people will be implicated!"

Zhao Mu knew that Jianning thought these things were too simple, but now he could only comfort her as much as possible. He didn't want to explode with Kangxi right now.

"I don't care. Xiangxiang can't marry that guy! Who knows what kind of person he is? What if he is a rough man with a big beard who looks like Aobai?"

Jianning stared at Zhao Mu with a stubborn look on his face. Hearing this, Xiangxiang couldn't help but shrink her body, as if she was frightened.

"I heard that most of the people in the underworld have this look, called Qiu Ran or something like that. Anyway, it's very scary!"

"Do you think I'm like what you said?" Zhao Mu looked at Jianning helplessly. He didn't know where this girl heard all this from. She had too many preconceived impressions about people.

Not all people in the underworld dress like that.

"You are different. You are the Prince of Liyang. Anyway, most of the people in the martial arts world that I saw in Shengjing are like this! Xiangxiang must not marry that kind of person. You should help me find a solution quickly, otherwise we will all be doomed!"

Jianning is acting like a spoiled brat again!

Although she had not come into contact with many people in the underworld, she always felt uneasy when she thought that Xiangxiang was going to marry that kind of person.

Since ancient times, people have paid attention to matching the family backgrounds. Even if Xiangxiang were to marry into a wealthy family, at least her life would be guaranteed. However, people in the underworld live on the edge of a knife. Letting Xiangxiang follow such a person, sleeping in the open air, is not a good destination no matter how you think about it.

"You're still relying on me, aren't you?"

Zhao Mu was extremely speechless, but there was nothing he could do. Before his plan succeeded, he was indeed controlled by Jianning.

Now, he dared not let any problem occur here.

Once Kangxi becomes alert, his entire plan may fail.

"Jianning, don't force His Royal Highness Prince Mu, this may be my fate!"

Xiangxiang reached out and pulled Jianning. She was very thoughtful and had already noticed that Jianning and Zhao Mu had a special relationship.

Although her own fate was already determined, she was satisfied to see Jianning find her home before leaving.

"What fate? My fate is in my own hands, you are just too cowardly, why don't you dare to fight with my brother?"

Jianning shook off Princess Xiangxiang's hand, his face full of disappointment.

She has been free-spirited and unrestrained since childhood.

She didn't like being controlled by fate and didn't want to see Xiangxiang like this.

But living in an ivory tower, she will probably never understand this.

Xiangxiang lowered her head silently. She knew Jianning cared about her, but because of this, she didn't want to hurt Jianning because of her own affairs.

"I have an idea..." Jianning looked at Xiangxiang's pitiful appearance and suddenly spoke.

"We can hold our brother hostage and force him to order Chen Jialuo to be executed..."

Before Jianning could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhao Mu.

"Okay, stop thinking about it! You can't handle this! What kind of stupid idea is this? If you want to die, don't take us with you, okay?"

Zhao Mu had no idea what was going on in Jianning's brain. Peeping at court secrets was already a capital crime, and now she actually wanted to hold the emperor hostage.

This girl has really been spoiled since she was a child.

"Why are you so useless?" Jian Ning glanced at Zhao Mu and said angrily, "With your courage, what's the point of practicing martial arts?"

"You don't even dare to hold the emperor hostage! Weren't you quite decisive in attacking me just now?"

"I have already made up my mind about this matter. Come with me now! Let's force our brother to issue an order!"

Jian Ning grabbed Zhao Mu and said, "Otherwise, I will tell everyone what happened between us, and then you won't be able to survive!"

Hearing this, Zhao Mu finally couldn't help it. He pushed Jianning away and raised his hand to press acupoints on him.

Talking to such a stupid woman is a waste of time.

If he wasn't worried about exposing his plan, he would have wanted to kill this woman directly.

Jianning stood there straight, his face full of anxiety.

Zhao Mu lowered his head in thought. He really didn't dare to do anything to Jianning now, nor did he dare to let this girl talk nonsense.

Once Kangxi realizes that something is wrong with him, all previous efforts will be in vain.

He was afraid that he couldn't avoid this matter.

"I have a solution!" Zhao Mu turned his head and looked at Princess Xiangxiang.

"I can propose to the emperor and ask him to marry you to me, so you don't have to marry Chen Jialuo. Of course, you don't have to worry. After this, I won't stop you if you want to leave!"

When Princess Xiangxiang heard this, her face suddenly turned red.

She had no choice in this matter, but if she really had to choose, she definitely wouldn't want to marry a gangster.

At least the Zhao Mu in front of him did not have a bad impact on him.

Even if she really married to Li Yang, it was better than living in the open with a gangster!

Princess Xiangxiang lowered her head in silence, then nodded slightly at the end.

Maybe this is her last resort.

"Then you watch her and don't let her come out and cause trouble!"

Zhao Mu glanced at Jianning, then turned and left.

He didn't know whether this matter would succeed, he could only gamble that in Kangxi's eyes, he was more important than Chen Jialuo.

Although the Tiandihui was a thorn in the side of the Qing court, there were many ways to deal with it. However, using a princess, an unappreciated princess, in exchange for a powerful ally was not a loss in any way.

Soon, Zhao Mu found Kangxi.

"Your Highness Prince Mu is going back?"

Kangxi saw Zhao Mu and spoke with a chuckle.

"Your Majesty, I was just strolling around when I happened to meet Princess Xiangxiang. I fell in love with her at first sight. I am not talented enough, but I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me marriage!"

Zhao Mu directly stated his purpose. When Kangxi heard this, he was slightly stunned.

He really didn't care much about Princess Xiangxiang. He had many brothers and sisters, and the only one he really cared about was Jianning.

However, when Kangxi heard Zhao Mu say that he wanted to marry Princess Xiangxiang, he still felt a little hesitant.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to make this happen. Zhao Mu is the King Mu of Liyang, and Liyang is one of the two major dynasties in the Central Plains. This is definitely a powerful ally.

This is definitely a good thing for Kangxi.

But precisely because it was a good thing, Kangxi naturally wanted to keep it to his own people.

"If Your Highness Prince Mu is interested, I can take you to meet Princess Jianning!"

"That girl is my biological sister. She is a perfect match for His Royal Highness Prince Mu!"
