Chapter 12 The General's Mansion

  This play is too pretentious, it makes me want to shake my head, but what can I do? My body isn't well, Xuan Yuan Wu still needs to wait for the right moment, and his body hasn't fully recovered yet.

  Only this method can produce some effect, let the person who killed Xuan Yuan Mu know that he is still alive.

  Entering the Wang Fu, good food and drink, good hospitality, Xuan Yuan Mu also appeared here, but he still can't see people, only true and false, can give the enemy a tense atmosphere.

  In the room, Xuan Yuan's face looked very unsightly, coldly staring outside without saying a word.

  The four royal guards had prepared a wooden wheelchair for me. I slid to the front of Xuan Yuan's face and looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

  "He... " He turned his head to look at me, then said after a long while: "You wouldn't have fallen for him, would you?" Xuan Yuan Mu looked at me with a tangled expression.

  I looked at him strangely, wondering who he was talking about?

  "Xuanyuan Qi? He's suave and charming, with a great sense of humor. His techniques for dealing with women are superb, and many women in Kyoto like him!"

  Suddenly, I found Xuan Yuan's behavior quite ridiculous. He had been troubled by this matter for half a day, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "You!"

  "What does it mean? I...I just asked, you were held like that and walked away, didn't you have any feelings?" Xuan Yuan Mu's face turned slightly angry.

  "No, I'm telling you clearly, I didn't have a change of heart."

  "That's good, you're my queen, I've seen your whole body, you can't escape!" Xuan Yuan Mu was like a child at this time, and the head in the haunted house was really different.

  "You've changed, you used to always scare me."

  "I've had no choice, I've waited for ten years, and finally waited for you. Of course, I'll be a bit impatient." Xuan Yuan Mu stretched out his hand to pick me up and sat me on his lap.

  "Ling Xue, I will give you a plain life, give you a home, give you the relatives you want." Xuan Yuan Mu looked at me tightly.

  My heart skipped a beat, these words are so warm and pleasant to hear.

  "Will you be my family forever?" Xuan Yuan Wu asked again, then he lowered his head and covered my lips.

  Why is my head spinning? Why am I so weak all over, I should push him away, his lips are so domineering, as if they want to devour me.

  It wasn't until he heard someone coughing that he finally let me go after a long time.

  "Third Brother, sorry about that, it wasn't intentional!" Xuan Yuan Qi waved his folding fan with a mischievous grin, showing no intention of backing down.

  Xuanyuan asked as he put me in a wheelchair, "How is it?"

  "News travels fast, I believe that within three days, there will be news from the palace!"

  "Hmm, be careful of Guoshi, I always feel that he has a great connection with this matter." Xuan Yuan Mu's face was stern.

  "Right, the day after tomorrow, General Yang Chen, the only son of the National Master, will return to the mansion. This time, he won a complete victory in the northwest war, and many people will go to congratulate him. Do you think this is an opportunity?" Xuan Yuan Qi sat down and glanced at me, continuing to ask.

  "No, if I'm going to appear, I'll appear in front of the Emperor, and I definitely won't go to the National Master's mansion on my own initiative. If he says I'm a fake Xuan Yuan Mo, wouldn't that put me at a disadvantage?"

  The two of them discussed it for a while and decided to wait for another opportunity. However, the task of going to congratulate General Yang Chen the day after tomorrow fell on me.

  No need for me to make a big show, just follow Xuan Yuan Qi and occasionally introduce me as the missing Wang Fei of Xuan Yuan Mu, the third prince who disappeared ten years ago. After all, the imperial palace has not denied my identity, so we have the opportunity to expand our influence.

  I don't know if the Yang Chen in their mouths is the same as the childhood Yang Chen brother, but I don't like to use this embarrassing identity to enter the General's Mansion. However, looking at Xuan Yuan Mu's expectant eyes, my heart softened. He must be eager to find the murderer who killed him with that method. I'm just going to help him increase the reputation of the Third Prince Xuan Yuan Mu, what can't be done?

  The scratch on my neck has disappeared, and my leg is much better. As long as I don't walk too fast, it won't pull the injured skin. The day after tomorrow, I'll be a gentle lady again, so there shouldn't be any intense exercise, and everything should be fine.

  The old aunt of the Fourth Prince's Mansion accompanied me to study etiquette all night and had new clothes tailored for me, just waiting for the day after tomorrow to go to General's Mansion to pay respects.

  Time flies, Xuan Yuan Qi takes me to General Yang Chen's mansion to congratulate him on his triumphant return.

  In front of the General's Mansion, it was bustling with carriages and horses, almost all the officials in the capital had rushed to this place.

  In order to match my identity, Xuan Yuan Qi also arranged for me to have two maidservants. From a distance, I really do look like an elegant and noble princess.

  "Who is the 'woman' led by Qi Wangye? Looking at that hairstyle, it's a married woman's hairdo?"

  "It's probably the queen of King Xuan Yuan's wife, I heard he's coming back soon, didn't expect the queen to come out and show off before he arrives!"

  "I heard that ten years ago, the third prince Xuan Yuan Mu was the crown prince. He disappeared for these years, and the crown prince changed hands. If it hadn't changed, the one in front of us would have been the crown princess."

  "The two of them were hugging each other just a couple of days ago, how shameless."

  The people around me whispering secretly, pointing fingers at me behind my back.

  I wore the hair buns combed by Old Mother, 'inserted' with heavy golden hairpins, just about to follow Xuan Yuan Qi into the house, when I heard someone shouting "The Left Prime Minister has arrived!"

  I turned back in surprise, a thread of panic flashing through my mind, and my footsteps also stopped there.

  Zuo Xiang, accompanied by the Grand Lady and two young ladies, walked over with a big smile on his face. "General Yang, congratulations on your triumphant return! The imperial edict of reward from His Majesty will arrive soon, congratulations!"

  In front of the main gate, among the crowd of stars and moon, a man with a blue silk jacket, slanted sword-like eyebrows, and slightly dark skin stood at the entrance to greet guests. "Wherever you are from, honored guest, please come in!"

  Mei Gang wanted to say something else, but seeing Yang Chen was too busy, she also gave up.

  "Fourth Master, please..." Yang Chen walked over, his eyes swept me a glance, and a hint of surprise was evident.

  "This is the Third Princess, the King's sister. And this is General Yang Chen, renowned for his hundred victories in a hundred battles." Xuan Yuan Mu introduced with a wave of his folding fan.

  "Mei Lingxue?" Yang Chen looked at me carefully.

  Mei hastily walked a few steps forward and came before me: "Are you Mei Lingxue?"

  If possible, I really want to change this name.

  Everyone looked over here, I slightly bowed "Father!"

  "Hey, isn't this ridiculous? Doesn't the Left Prime Minister even recognize his own 'daughter'? What a huge joke." Xuan Yuan Qi said loudly, waving his hand in front of the Left Prime Minister's eyes. "Could it be that you abandoned your 'daughter'?"

  "General, can I borrow a place to talk? I want to quietly understand this matter." Mei Gang didn't pay attention to the Fourth Prince and directly spoke to Yang Chen.

  Yang Chen slightly furrowed his brow, looked at me, then looked at the passing guests again, and nodded "Please go inside!"
