Chapter 14 Xu Xiao's suspicion, handing over Jiang Ni

"So you did everything on purpose?"

On the way back, Wanwan thought more and more that something was wrong!

Everything that happened tonight seemed too suspicious, as if it had been arranged in advance. Moreover, there was something wrong with Zhao Mu's behavior.

This guy agreed to come to Beiliang to propose marriage, but what he did just now was to deliberately provoke Xu Fengnian. He didn't believe that Zhao Mu would fall out with Xu Fengnian because of him. This guy has only known him for a few days?

"Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean by intentional? I don't know!"

Zhao Mu pretended not to know, but his eyes were wandering on the young man!

This little girl took the initiative to ask Xu Xiaoan to stay by her side to monitor her, but Zhao Mu knew very well that this little girl had an extraordinary background and was blessed with great fortune!
If you can subdue it, I think you will get a good reward.

The bluebird lowered its head, with an indifferent expression, its eyes staring straight at the ground, as if it had no interest in anything around it!

Wanwan saw all of this, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When everyone returned to their residence, Shi Feixuan hurried up to ask what had happened.

After learning about what Wanwan had done, she felt even more regretful. She regretted why she had saved this evil woman in the first place. If she really ruined Zhao Mu's plan, wouldn't she be an accomplice?

Shi Feixuan immediately wanted to drive Wanwan away, but this girl was now dependent on them and didn't care about Shi Feixuan's attitude at all. She turned around and went back to her room!

"Husband... I'm sorry!" Shi Feixuan's face was filled with guilt, "If I hadn't believed in this witch, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"

"If the King of Beiliang becomes resentful of you because of this matter... I..."

Shi Feixuan was so anxious that she was about to cry. She was soft-hearted for a moment and caused such a big mess, which really delayed Zhao Mu's plan. How could she be worthy of Zhao Mu and the cultivation of Cihang Jingzhai?
"It's okay! I'll take care of everything!" Zhao Mu put his arms around Shi Feixuan and comforted her softly.

People always need to grow, and this should be Shi Feixuan’s first lesson on the road to growth. Now that she has learned this lesson, she will surely be more cautious in her future actions!
The night is cold and gloomy.

The palace was in a state of fear!
"What? That old guy is coming out?"

Xu Xiao looked at Wei Shuyang beside him with a look of surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty, he has left Tingchao Pavilion and is heading out of the city!"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao was stunned, but there was nothing he could do!

"Forget it, let him be. We cannot control such a person! It's a good thing that we didn't provoke him!"

"Your Highness, I'm curious about what the Ninth Prince said to him. That guy has never left Tingchao Pavilion in all these years... Today, the Ninth Prince only went in for a moment, how could he..."

Xu Xiao raised his hand to interrupt Wei Shuyang, but his face became even gloomier!

"What I'm more curious about is why that guy is so familiar with my Beiliang Palace? He even knows about Li Chungang's seclusion in Lord Tingchao!"

"This matter is top secret. Even in the palace, not many people know where Li Chungang is. Even the Crown Prince..."

Having said this, the two of them suddenly looked up.

"That's right, it must be someone close to Feng Nian! Over the years, Feng Nian has been the only one who has studied in Ting Chao Pavilion for a long time! Only people close to him can possibly enter Ting Chao Pavilion!"

"I heard that Zhao Mu and his group came from Western Chu?"

Xu Xiao narrowed his eyes, a murderous look emerging on his face.

"That's right. The two people following him are Wanwan, the demon girl from Yinkui Sect, and Feixuan, the saint girl from Cihang Jingzhai!" Wei Shuyang said respectfully!
"That's right. The Saintess of Cihang Jingzhai was also the Queen of Western Chu. Maybe it was that girl who provided them with the information!" "Your Highness, do you want to kill her?"

"No, it's not right. Now that Western Chu has finally settled down, if she dies, it will definitely provoke rebellion from the remaining people of Western Chu, and those guys will be difficult to deal with! What's more, I don't want to have any more grudges with them now!"

"But if this girl is kept in the palace, she will eventually become a disaster! She hates the prince and the crown prince. Now that she has been able to leak the palace's information to others today, she may attract assassins in the future..."

"Then do them a favor and give Jiang Ni to them!" Xu Xiao knocked on the armrest beside him. "After all, this is just our guess. If Jiang Ni is really connected to them, they will definitely not leave Jiang Ni alone!"

"But once Jiang Ni leaves the palace, we won't have this hostage in our hands. Will those people counterattack?"

Wei Shuyang was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter. We can use this opportunity to test Zhao Mu. If he is really involved with the remnants of Western Chu, then this is also a handle. He will restrain the people of Western Chu!"

"As for the future..." Xu Xiao stood up, walked out of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "If Jiang Ni dies beside him, the anger of the remnants of Western Chu will not burn on me!"

"I understand, Your Majesty, I'll arrange it right away!"

Wei Shuyang said this and turned around and went downstairs!
Xu Xiao had a gloomy face, looking at the gray sky, his expression became more and more lonely!
"Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu, what do you want to do?"

The next morning.

As soon as Zhao Mu got up, Wei Shuyang came to the door with Jiang Ni!

"This old servant greets the Ninth Prince!" Wei Shuyang bowed and waved his hand. Jiang Ni, who looked reluctant, walked forward behind him!
"The prince offended me last night, so I ordered this old servant to send a maid to apologize to the ninth prince!"

Zhao Mu took a look at Jiang Ni and was shocked.

He had thought about snatching Jiang Ni before. After all, in his plan, all he needed was to have Xu Xiao place an insider around him.

But considering Jiang Ni's identity, he was worried that Xu Xiao would not agree, so he had to settle for the second best and chose Blue Bird.

But now, Xu Xiao actually took the initiative to send Jiang Ni over, which made him a little confused!
This girl is the Princess of Xichu!

Even though Western Chu has forgotten about it for so many years and the Sui Dynasty has been established in its place, the remnants of Western Chu are still there, and they are a considerable force.

Moreover, they were full of hatred towards Xu Xiao.

Jiang Ni can be said to be a hostage that Xu Xiao kept by his side. How could he let Jiang Ni leave?
"Your Highness is too polite. If that's the case, I will refuse your offer with disrespect!"

Zhao Mu did not refuse. Although he was not quite sure what Xu Xiao was going to do, now that he had extended his hand, he had no choice but to accept it!

Seeing Zhao Mu accept Jiang Ni, Wei Shuyang turned around and went back to report.

Zhao Mu also decided to leave this place, as the marriage proposal had been settled.

But this alone is far from enough.

The crisis from the Liyang Dynasty was far greater than he had imagined, and he could not rely solely on Xu Xiao.

In the morning, Zhao Mu found Xu Xiao to say goodbye.

Xu Xiao did not try to persuade them to stay, and they left Beiliang City that day.
