Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Three Days Before the Wedding (3)
The atmosphere finally fell to a point that was quite cold. It made the aura around him strange. If not for the empress dowager coughing, it was likely that Mu Xianzhai would have had little action for the red-clothed man.
The empress' widow had indeed deliberately invited Ye Tianli, a great boss of national trade. Tonight he wants to talk about something important. Unexpectedly, it appeared earlier. Making the empress dowager think that Mu Xianzhai must have some problems with the man.
"Master Ye arrived earlier than Aijia had expected. If you don't mind, maybe Master Ye can wait," the empress dowager said instantly melting the atmosphere.
The red-clothed man smiled meaningfully and gave a small nod. He didn't bother about this at all. But he had no intention of leaving, so invited Mu Xianzhai to sit down with him. After all, li Chang Su seemed to be going to treat the empress dowager.
Although Mu Xianzhai was reluctant to speak to this man, under the gaze of the empress dowager, he finally showed an indifferent attitude. Even Li Chang Su seemed to slightly catch the jealousy in his gaze. Was that man hostile towards Ye Tianli for being close to him?
Currently, Li Chang Su could not think of anything to find an answer. He immediately asked the waiter who had taken the warm water earlier to put it under him.
"No, Miss, this servant can hold it to help," the kindly servant offered to ask the empress dowager to approve.
Li Chang Su really did not need it. But before refusing, the empress dowager had already allowed her to help. He nodded and gave her some calm. Whatever you see, don't drop water. The waiter nodded solemnly.
Whereas on the other hand, Ye Tianli and Mu Xianzhai did not dare to speak out loud. Both of them only drank tea provided by the waiter. Ye Tianli still had a gentle smile as usual, spreading his charm. This further made Mu Xianzhai want to spit out a mouthful of his young blood.
"The unexpected, came secretly to the palace of the empress dowager for treatment. King Xian, why don't you tell me earlier. We can leave together," this time Ye Tianli spoke quite seriously.
The arrival of Mu Xianzhai and Li Chang Su must have been related to the empress dowager's illness. Since it was known that the empress dowager was sick from suffering from a chronic illness, it was actually poison. Li Chang Su looked very relaxed. He must have thought that poison was just a toy.
Sipping his tea again, Ye Tianli seemed to think further. Can it cure the second prince as well?
"If other people know I'm coming, the business is different again" Mu Xianzhai reminded.
Although he did not hate this man thoroughly, but was quite upset because of his approach with Li Chang Su. Even under the gaze of his eyes alone, the man dared to smile gently at Li Chang Su.
Ye Tianli put on a serious face and noticed Li Chang Su who was installing a silver needle on some point of the empress dowager's hand. Someone wants to start with the empress dowager. Which the second prince had guessed before.
"Maybe this has something to do with the empress?" He guessed.
Mu Xianzhai sneered. The look in his eyes behind the mask was not very clear, "The second prince shouldn't stay silent right?"
From a long time ago, the second prince also had a desire for a seat to the throne. But his identity had to be suppressed by the existence of Mu Lizheng who was currently a crown prince. There is no unmarried crown prince. This made the empress' position strong.
But what about that?
Although Mu Xianzhai was reluctant in his heart if this Ye Tianli was capable, but it must be admitted that it was true. With the help of Ye Tianli, your second— prince Peizhi could have a strong backing. Not to mention many distant and influential acquaintances.
Unfortunately, Ye Tianli was often seen fooling around and impressed recklessly. Even a bad playboy. Li Chang Su was almost targeted.
Ye Tianli also knew this in his heart if Mu Xianzhai was upset for some reason related to him. But maybe the little girl didn't feel anything. Unexpectedly, this Mu Xianzhai was able to develop the inner power science so well. Even his internal injuries were now almost recovered.
Really, this must have something to do with Li Chang Su's treatment.
"Have you thought of Miss Su to try to check on the second prince's illness?" Ye Tianli asked a little guess.
"Yes. Of course."
"You're doing good?"
Mu Xianzhai looked at him who had asked that. Is he so bad?
"You can ask from the emperor, right?" He chuckled, a bit bitter in his heart. Then sip the tea again.
According to him, Mu Xianzhai could find the emperor and say that Mu Peizhi was suitable for the throne. But on the other hand as well, he might have thought that Mu Xianzhai wanted to know what Mu Peizhi's struggle to qualify was like. So not asking much.
Now he was only focusing on Mu Peizhi's heart disease which could worsen at any time. Due to the cold weather like this, Mu Peizhi could not linger in the cold.
Mu Xianzhai did not wish to request it from the emperor. He's too lazy. After all he seemed to have some confidence if this Mu Peizhi could cross the barriers. If you want to bring down the crown prince at the point of revocation of the future emperor, then think of a more convincing way.
Meeting and making friends with Ye Tianli was already profitable. Not to mention, this Ye Tianli was also the second prince's childhood friend. So more harmonious, like a sibling.
The two discussed Mu Peizhi's heart disease as well as Li Chang Su's expertise in medicine. After an hour, Li Chang Su had finally finished cleaning up the chronic poison from the empress dowager's body. His forehead was sweating from using too much of his inner power to use silver needles.
Acupuncture treatment is not easy. Not to mention chronic toxins also cannot be cleaned just like that. After the silver needle was removed, the empress dowager's face slightly pale. And his right hand blackened.
The waiter who was holding a small bucket of warm water that had now cooled down was curious. He asked Li Chang Su, what really happened.
The girl took out a scalpel and slashed around the palm of the empress dowager's hand. Instantly, black blood came out. It made the waiter almost scream in fear.
Neither Ye Tianli nor Mu Xianzhai were equally distracting. Mu Xianzhai got up first and walked quickly to see what happened. Black blood littered the floor near the bed. After the red blood flowed, Li Chang Su cleaned the wound and bandaged it well.
At first, the empress dowager was also frightened. But seeing the black blood flowing, he was finally convinced that it was blood contaminated by the poison.
"Su'er, how's grandma doing?" Mu Xianzhai asked slowly.
"Don't worry, after this treatment grandma will be fine. But it is not possible to also be poisoned back through some method."
"That's not gonna happen again!"
Mu Xianzhai gritted his teeth and thought of a plan to keep his grandmother safe. The empress widow knew how worried Mu Xianzhai was, only smiling meaningfully.
Their wedding day is near. And the capital should be in excitement for a day. Mu Xianzhai had returned this afternoon briefly and said that Li Chang Su was unsure of the marriage when the disaster had just subsided.
But actually it doesn't matter. The empress' widow had arranged everything.
"Su'er ... What about the wedding dress? Tried already?" The empress' widow distracts.
"No, yet" the girl replied quite slowly, slightly lowered her head. Should he try it?
"Then try and see if it fits or not. If the leeway, it can be sewn back. If it's too small, let it make a new one."
Li Chang Su did not reply and only gave a small smile. After finishing the treatment, he was very tired. Mu Xianzhai finally brought back Li Chang Su to the War King's Palace. After all there was Ye Tianli there, he was a little relieved.
The girl was too tired to finally fall asleep in Mu Xianzhai's arms. On returning to the War King's Palace, he placed it on the bed and pulled out a blanket. He also wiped off the sweat on the girl's forehead and neck. Seeing him like this, Mu Xianzhai was extremely depressed.
"Su'er, thank you for tonight."
In the end just kissed her forehead a glance, before leaving the room. After the sound of the man's footsteps grew further away, Li Chang Su who closed his eyes was now open. His expression was less changed.
Touching where Mu Xianzhai had kissed earlier, his heart thumped again. This feeling, he liked it less. Did he really like this arrogant guy?
"Mu Xianzhai, what kind of person are you?" He murmured before closing his eyes to fall asleep.
