M looked directly at her, as if he was chewing every word of what Leng Yiyao had just said.
After a long time, he lowered his eyes and said in a voice as clear as pearls, "How do you know my identity?"
Lu Chen knew it, and it was understandable. After all, when his mother and the emperor lived together, the other party had already made an impression. But what about Leng Yiyao? For so many years, I have been isolated in D City, and I have never even been to the Imperial Capital once. Why would she know
Even the eldest princess may only know that her father and a woman from the Ice Territory tribe were once married, but his existence...
Not everyone in the palace is qualified to know.
Leng Yiyao smiled slowly.
She knows, is it weird
The iconic silver hair and silver eyes, the legend of the Ice Tribe that she once teased him about, and the fact that all the Ice Tribe people were kneeling in front of the lighthouse all showed that his identity was extraordinary!
In addition, he could come and go as fast as the wind during the two dinner parties at the palace.
Either he was very familiar with the palace, or he didn't even pay attention to the imperial power. Even if he was discovered, he didn't feel there was any reason why he couldn't bear it.
At this time's royal dinner, Lu Chen said that he lacked prestige because he had just ascended the throne. M had no taboo, but it could be explained. But last time, when the old emperor was still alive, he was extremely casual and played the piano whenever he wanted on the second floor of the banquet hall. With such confidence, is his identity still a big secret to her
She just marveled that such a person had to come to the imperial capital because of "family members being ill". Who would have thought that he was actually the flesh and blood of the old emperor.
In this way, the group of royal guards following him with scorpion tattoos became a matter of course.
The old emperor did not want his identity to be exposed, whether it was to protect him or to prevent him from interfering in the royal family's affairs. Anyway, he would rather isolate him at all levels than expose his identity.
This point is somewhat similar to her situation.
She smiled playfully and said, "Forget it, I will call you uncle."
The third son of the royal family, Lu Ming, has died, leaving behind Lu Chen, who has now ascended the throne as emperor, and there is another one, this one. She exhaled slowly, looked at the surface of the artificial lake, and couldn't help but curl her lips slightly. Originally he was just an unloved little bastard from the Leng family, but suddenly two uncles appeared in Pingbai. If the original owner of this body was still alive and had people like the royal family backing him, how could he be tricked out of his body.
When M heard Leng Yiyao say the word "uncle", he couldn't help but tremble.
The secret that he had kept for so many years was suddenly revealed by someone, and he still said it in such a careless and nonchalant tone. If it had been anyone else, he would have reached out and killed the other person directly. Can…
M turned his head and looked at his nominal niece. For a moment, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Emotions, in front of her, regardless of identity or bloodline, she never cared about it from beginning to end.
At the dinner, she was full of surprises and cautious in the face of the eldest princess. She had a plain face and was calm and collected from beginning to end. He thought she was resentful of her biological mother. Now it seems that this is not the case at all.
She didn't pay attention to the royal family at all.
This really depends on his nature.
So, he walked up to her and sat down slowly on the same bench with a subtle expression: "I have never seen anyone who doesn't care about life experience at all."
Mortals pay attention to a person with an innocent life experience and acknowledging their ancestors. She is better, except when Helmer approached, she was a little popular, but now she is indifferent to all worldly things.
Does she want to go to heaven like this
Leng Yiyao was very calm in the face of his "denunciation".
He is nothing more than the illegitimate son of the royal family, there is nothing good to say about him.
However, if you think about it, his identity is more embarrassing than hers. The two parents above her had an affair based on lust, and now they have broken up. Fortunately for him, the royal family is his blood, but he also has a blood feud with his mother.
Massacre...
This is not a matter of killing one or two people randomly.
Just imagine, Lu Chen's mother has been suppressed by the eldest princess in the royal family for so many years just because she was born into a wealthy merchant family. How can he, a prince whose mother's family was slaughtered by the royal family, have any support from his relatives
Never mind that in history, the royal family has always guarded against the possibility of their relatives becoming prosperous. Which emperor did not have the shadow of his relatives behind him before proclaiming himself emperor
Just because of the legend that the Ice Territory tribe was able to "conquer people's hearts", the powerful emperor directly ordered the annihilation of the Manchu tribe. Not only did he not want to see his mother at all, but even he, a member of the royal family, wanted to stay out of sight.
Thinking about it, M is already honest enough. If it were her, haha...
Leng Yiyao smiled coldly. If anyone dared to treat her like this, she would have killed her long ago...
Lu Chen was able to ascend the throne safely and unharmed, so he really had to thank the man in front of him for not killing him.
At least, judging from the current situation, M must have commanded extraordinary strength despite his sensitive status and being able to maintain such freedom in the current turmoil of the royal family. It is certain that all the remaining people from the Ice Territory tribe will be under his control. As for the others...
She smiled. She still had a good impression of M, but as long as he wasn't in a confrontational situation, she didn't bother to delve into what was going on behind his back.
"What are your plans next?" She came to him, naturally she still wanted to ask. Now that Lu Chen has ascended the throne, he obviously has no interest in being emperor. For someone who was born into royalty, he was a freak.
Planning to
M looked up at the sky.
He would return to the imperial capital. In fact, he was really worried about his father's health at first. After all, when the news of his "critical illness" was brought to him personally by his father, he did not expect all that would follow. Why bother
It's just for a chair.
After all, it was his grandfather who ordered the massacre of his people. He still knew exactly how sincere his father had been to him over the years. Lu Chen has always been a target, and Lu Ming has never been in his eyes. This may not be the result of his father's favoritism.
Nowadays, the royal family seems to have stabilized, but in fact, there are turbulent waves hidden under the calm.
To put it bluntly, Lu Chen has indeed grown up, but without the help of other people, it is by no means an easy task to scare those people with wandering minds alone.
Now, his stay in the imperial capital is just boring. What Lu Chen's future holds is actually irrelevant to him. "I'll probably find a place to settle down the tribe."
He thought about it and realized that it was no longer possible for him to go back to D city and open that small cafe happily. Now, so many remaining members of the Ice Domain clan are following him, which is both a right and a responsibility.
"Find a place with a suitable environment in the empire, draw a circle, and let people from the Ice Territory tribe live in it directly?"
Leng Yiyao chuckled, this man really had no ambition.
Listening to the tone of her words, M understood that she was laughing at him, and couldn't help but rub her temples, "Do you want me to just depose Lu Chen and come to power myself?"
Actually... it's not impossible, it's just a little troublesome.
Leng Yiyao blinked and waved his hand: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just asking. Anyway, Lu Chen has three conditions for me, and I can still appoint him. What good will it do to me if you come to power?"
The majestic position given to her was like a child eating candy.
M was a bit dumbfounded, but at that moment, the condensed atmosphere when his identity was revealed had faded away.
He put the tip of his tongue between his lips and teeth, and suddenly turned his head to look at her quietly: "National Day is coming soon, do you want to go out for a walk with me?"
"Going around?" Leng Yiyao frowned, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what he was referring to. Now, she is attending classes steadily in the imperial capital.
Shengde High School wanted to treat her like an ancestor, and the military academy even treated her as a school bully.
Kings? The cooperation with Kemp has just begun, and the Leng Group's power penetration is also in progress. Where to go for a stroll
"Hermer does love you very much, but are you sure that you want to stay under his wings for the rest of your life, stay in the empire honestly, and become a young lady who never leaves the house?" M couldn't help but Ridiculously, even Leng Yiyi came back from studying abroad. He didn't believe it. She had never thought about going abroad to gain experience.
Now, she is still a seventeen-year-old minor. When she turns eighteen, with Hermer's temper, he will tie her up and make her a bride. By then, how will she still have the freedom she has today
After what M had said, Leng Yiyao immediately understood his unfinished meaning.
Indeed, judging from the current situation, she has nothing to worry about in the imperial capital. The general trend has been decided, everything will go towards her established policy, and there will be no mistakes.
Going abroad...
It is common for aristocratic women. She has been in the empire for so long, and she really has never had such an opportunity.
However, it suddenly flashed into her mind that Hemer had mentioned the National Day holiday to her at that time.
At that time, he seemed to have told her not to run around, and that after he had passed the National Day and finished his important duties in the military, he would take her to have a good vacation together.
Leng Yiyao suddenly recalled the way he was tied to the bedside this morning.
Tsk tsk tsk….
If he really goes abroad with him, if he continues to endure it like this, his body may really be unable to bear it...
"Okay." Her eyes lit up, and a smile suddenly spread across her lips.
M felt as if something bright and dazzling suddenly appeared before his eyes. He was stunned for a second before he realized what she had promised.
I couldn't help but lower my head and chuckle.
As a "brother's family", for some reason, he now really wants to see what the superior marshal will do when he hears that he abducted his "little girl"...
After the two agreed on a specific time, they briefly spoke a few words and decided on the itinerary straightforwardly.
By the time Leng Yiyao walked slowly to the school gate with her schoolbag on her back, it was only about forty minutes before get out of class ended. Zhai Mu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, stared at the clothes behind Leng Yiyao that were obviously men's jackets. He paused for two seconds before getting out of the car.
"Are you back?" Leng Yiyao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw him. This person was fully armed before and directly "delivered" her cheap father and brother to D City, back and forth, moving very quickly.
"Yes." Zhai Mu responded in a low voice, and then explained softly: "There is an emergency over there in the military community. The marshal asked me to come and pick you up first."
Zhai Mu is different from other people in the Marshal's Mansion. She has known him for a long time. When they were in D City, they had a battle of wits and courage at first, and then later, they arrived in the imperial capital one after another. Even now it seems that she is about to After becoming the mistress of the Marshal's Mansion, he still maintained most of his original attitude. When speaking, keep your distance in mind but don't distance yourself too much. Respect and reverence often distance two people from the beginning, which is not as easy as treating them as equals.
Therefore, most of the time, the officers in the Marshal's Mansion would respectfully address her as "you", but when it came to Zhai Mu, it was much simpler.
"Yeah, I know." When Hemer left in the morning, he was wearing a military uniform. Now, the military community has been really unstable recently. Not too long had passed since the last time he received the call and disappeared for a few days. It can be seen that the recent situation is indeed a bit tense.
"Go directly back to the Marshal's Mansion." She got in the car and said directly. Nowadays, she rarely goes back to the villa. Basic daily necessities are quietly prepared by the Marshal's Mansion without her noticing. It's more convenient to live there.
Zhai Mu nodded and softly replied "Okay" without mentioning a word about the man's coat on her.
The car had a special license plate and drove all the way there without any delay, even during the evening rush hour.
Zhai Mu turned on the radio, and a nostalgic old love song was playing on the radio. Everything was quiet. Leng Yiyao couldn't help but close her eyes and take a nap, but there was a sudden sound in front of her. There was a sudden shaking underneath him, and the car seemed to have been shaken by something.
She couldn't help but open her eyes, and the car slowly stopped on the side of the road.
Zhai Mu looked back at her with a calm expression: "I'll get out of the car and take a look, but don't move."
Leng Yiyao slowly exhaled and nodded calmly.
She could still encounter trouble while sitting in the car. She hadn't encountered such a situation for a long time. Counting on, it was the time she took Lu Chen all the way from D City to the Imperial Capital. On the way, they either encountered shelling or strafing while driving.
The car was well-modified and equipped with bulletproof glass. She did not roll down the window, but turned her head and glanced out the window.
This place is not considered remote. There are quite a lot of pedestrians coming and going. Many people stopped when they saw a handsome man suddenly getting out of the car.
In the middle of the road, there was a broken glass bottle. Because there happened to be a seven or eight-year-old girl crossing the road just now, Zhai Mu suddenly avoided it while driving and ran over it. Fortunately, the car's tires were good and they were not punctured at all. When he came down, he mainly wanted to look at the little girl.
The little girl's appearance was hard to see clearly. She was so small that she looked a little more fragile than her peers. She had her back hunched over and looked frightened. She was still holding a basket of flowers tightly in her hands, and her expression looked like she could barely take a breath and was about to pass out.
Zhai Mu looked aside for a moment. The little girl's limbs were too slender, and the areas on her face that should have been chubby were also sunken. Her hands were chapped from the cold, which was obviously due to her poor family background.
It was late at night, holding a basket of flowers, and he must be hawking nearby.
However, this is not a night market. If she encounters a patrolling security guard, she will be forced to confiscate her things.
Just now she ran over in a panic, fearing that she was also being chased fiercely.
Sure enough, within a few seconds, several uniformed patrol policemen heard the news and followed. When they saw the little girl huddled up, they were so frightened that they could not even speak. For a while, they could not even say any words of blame. .
"Did you hit anything?" One of the patrolmen squatted down and asked in a low voice. His eyes were fixed on the vehicle parked on the roadside for a second. After seeing the license plate, he stood in awe and immediately wanted to salute, but was rejected by Zhai Mu with a wave of his hand.
"Do you know her?" Since it was ruled out that this was an intentional arrangement, Zhai Mu was willing to ask a few more questions.
The patrolman nodded cautiously: "This child is very pitiful. His biological father is a small vendor. He used to dote on her, but then her mother became ill and her father married a new man. Last year, he had a son, so... .”
So what, but did not say anything further.
The meaning is already very clear.
As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. In addition, if you have a son, what weight does your daughter have in the family? It was probably the stepmother's idea to let her go out to sell flowers late at night to supplement the family income, but her father didn't say a word, so he obviously acquiesced.
As small vendors, their income is limited. In order for her son to have a good life in the future, it doesn't matter if the woman suffers a little.
Maybe, many people would look at her pitifully and buy more flowers to help them earn some money for their family.
People in this area actually know this little girl. They look pitiful and buy some flowers from her when they can help. However, this kind of thing will always treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. The little girl couldn't sell her flowers, so she would be scolded by her stepmother when she got home, and sometimes she would even beat her. If the flowers were sold well, her family couldn't help but think it was profitable, so they put them in her hands the next day. There will only be more flowers.
It was such a cold day, and the temperature dropped so much at night that the girl was not even given a small cotton-padded jacket, leaving the little girl standing on the roadside selling flowers with her face red from the cold.
The patrolmen actually didn't want to do anything to her. They just saw how pitiful she was, standing on the roadside, and having an accident at night, so they followed her and wanted to persuade her.
The night market is far away from here, and it is unrealistic for a little girl to travel so far by herself at night.
Unexpectedly, there was an accident today, which shocked the "noble man"...
Everyone clearly saw a figure flashing past the back seat of the car. Because the windows are specially designed, only everything outside can be seen clearly from the inside, but the people inside cannot be seen from the outside. For a moment, the patrol officers couldn't help but frowned, not knowing what to do.
"Has his family always been like this?" Zhai Mu glanced at the little girl's trembling back and his brows darkened.
No matter how patriarchal you are, you shouldn't let such a little girl go out to sell things on the street at night. Cars come and go, but if there is an accident, a person only has one life.
Seeing that the little girl was too frightened to say anything, the patrol officer shook his head helplessly: "It has been more than a year, and we have come to persuade her. But the stepmother is a shrew, and she said that this kind of thing is not illegal even in the law. How can we care so much about meddling in other people’s business?”
Leng Yiyao sat in the car and saw more and more people gathered around, and the private discussions became louder and louder. She finally understood the reasons behind it.
This little girl is worse than the golden leopard she rescued.
The latter, after all, has lost her parents and is making a living on her own, but it is better for her that she has a father but no father to support her. The stepmother is an even worse person...
"Kudeng" -
With a very faint sound, the door of the back seat opened.
Originally, in this buzzing environment, no one should be able to tell the difference, but at this moment, Zhai Mu suddenly turned around and met her eyes.
The patrol officers were shocked when they saw the impressive Zhai Mu's reaction. They followed his gaze and looked over at the same time.
I saw a young woman walking across the road.
Probably because she was dressed in student uniform, passers-by were not too taboo. They just looked at her eyes and felt a little cold for no reason.
The seven or eight-year-old girl was so frightened that she wanted to bury her head. Tears welled up in her eyes: "Yes, I'm sorry. I won't dare to do it next time."
She actually didn't know what she had done wrong, but when she met such a "noble person", she knew that she had just caused the other person's car to suddenly stop, and she subconsciously felt that she had done something heinous and wrong.
After all, if the noble ladies and gentlemen want to punish civilians like them, it only takes a few minutes, and there is no need to make excuses.
She is a low-class child living in the slums and has seen many such things.
Leng Yiyao couldn't help but frown. Looked around and looked again.
Although this place is not considered remote, it is still far away from the downtown area, and most people are not dressed in a flashy style. The clothes on this little girl were so thin that they felt cold when the wind blew.
She casually pulled off the coat hanging behind her back. The clothes M gave her half an hour ago, no matter the material or cut, were definitely not affordable for ordinary people to wear, but she just put it on her body.
The little girl's eyes were widened and she stared at Leng Yiyao blankly, not knowing what to say.
The patrol policemen around them finally felt relieved.
Just now I was afraid that this wealthy lady, who looked like she was an extraordinary person, was going to embarrass the little girl. It seemed that although her face was cold, she was a kind-hearted person.
"It's so late, it's time to go home." Leng Yiyao didn't care what everyone around her thought of her, and took out some change directly from her bag. The total was not much, but many people understood the truth of "Huaiyu is guilty" , seeing that she did not give her the large banknotes, but picked these small changes, everyone felt warm in their hearts, and they just felt that this little girl was so lucky, and met a rare and kind-hearted upper-class person.
"You take this money home. If your family asks you to sell flowers again tomorrow, you have to ask them to go to the Marshal's Mansion to give you a reply." As for what was the reply? Haha, who has the guts, after abusing his daughter, to get money, and still come to her door to answer the question? Your brain is broken!
As soon as the words "Marshal's Mansion" came out, there was a gasping sound all around, and everyone's expressions became dazed.
Indeed, this place is not considered a downtown area, but it is the only way to go from the urban area to the Marshal's Mansion.
This little girl, whose status is obvious at first glance, is the Marshal's Mansion...
Does she live there
As we all know, the first person in the military, the Marshal, never gets close to women, and the Marshal's Mansion is even more of a man. However, recently, rumors have indeed leaked out, saying that the marshal cherishes a girl so much that even the emperor's confession at the ball would be compared to her...
For a moment, everyone's expressions, besides being secretive, actually added a hint of subtlety.
Leng Yiyao has always been very sensitive to other people's emotions. She took a look at it. I found that apart from being curious and gossiping at most, everyone had no other superfluous expressions.
The little guy in front of him was too scared to say anything.
The black coat wrapped around her, but the length reached the floor. She felt a bit nondescript wearing it. At this moment, tremblingly holding the flowers, she seemed to subconsciously bring them to Leng Yiyao: "Sister, flowers."
She usually got money from selling flowers. Now, she probably subconsciously felt that Leng Yiyao gave her the money to buy flowers.
The people next to me felt that the little girl was so frightened that she was about to speak, but Leng Yiyao had already taken the flower basket and gently stroked her head, "Well, go home early. What I just said , remember to tell your parents."
The laws of the empire did not stipulate how to raise children. However, if she is shocked and wants to continue to squeeze hard-earned money from her children, then I have to ask her if she agrees.
Leng Yiyao's eyebrows were cold as she watched the little girl turn towards the alley step by step. Over there, it was pitch black, as if clearly isolated from the bustle here.
The people around her didn't know why, but they didn't dare to get closer to her even though they saw her doing good things just a moment ago. I always feel that although this person is beautiful, he is not easy to get close to. The alienation and indifference he carried made it almost impossible to speak.
Seeing her reaction, Zhai Mu lowered his eyes for a long time. After a moment, he raised his head and smiled at the patrol policemen who were half stiff, "The little girl's family treats her like this. Do your neighbors just pretend they didn’t see anything?”
Judging from the reactions of passers-by, it seems that they don't know exactly where the little girl lives.
The patrol officers were stunned for a moment before they realized that the other party was going to ask about the background in detail. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke.
"Her family lives in the slum nearest here. Most of the people moved from the border a few years ago. At the beginning, the emperor had a policy that refugees could not be deported. So..." He paused, and Zhai Mu understood that this involved that year. some old things. At the beginning, the empire went to war with its neighboring countries. Although it won, it also paid a huge price. In many places, the economy has greatly regressed as a result, and even after many years, it has been unable to restore the prosperity of the past.
Even if the eldest princess, who had been trapped on the border by the emperor for so many years and received the highest treatment and provision, could not bear it no matter what, she must run to the imperial capital.
The war that year was a joint decision of the three realms of the empire. Naturally, after the refugees appeared, a policy was introduced in order to prevent the people from being disappointed. No matter what city it is, refugees may not be expelled.
This is why there are slums in the illustrious Imperial Capital. Most of them are people who couldn't survive at the border, were displaced and moved here.
These people have low levels of education and are unwilling to move any further as long as they have enough to eat.
Fortunately, the imperial capital is located in the north of the empire. Wandering from the border took too long, and not many people could persist until the end. In addition, the empire has distinct hierarchies, and the capital is the place with the most nobles. If you are not careful and offend the nobles, death will come faster. Many people have already settled in the south when they move house, so not many people come here. But even if there are not many, it means that people can encounter this kind of thing on the road.
What Leng Yiyao encountered today was actually not the worst one. After all, just letting the little girl come out to earn money and wear thin clothes may not mean to deceive others' pity. But before this, it was common for underage girls to be sold directly by their families to wealthy people as slaves.
Although slavery has been abolished on the surface, privately, there are too many such transactions. In poor families, girls are not valued by others, and sons are the focus of inheritance. In order to keep the family alive, selling them as slaves and earning the money to live on as a family is the most logical thing for those people.
After hearing the cause and effect, Zhai Mu took one last look at Leng Yiyao. Seeing that there was no emotion on her face, he couldn't guess what she was thinking.
I just lowered my head and glanced at the time. I wasted a lot of time. I was afraid that if it was too late, the marshal would call to ask. So, he dismissed the patrol police and passers-by, and sent Leng Yiyao back to the car.
This time, no matter how gentle the music in the car was, it could not alleviate the weird atmosphere in the car.
At first, Zhai Mu thought Leng Yiyao was acting out of sympathy, but as time went on, it became more and more impossible.
This woman, who has treacherous thoughts and can kill in a matter of seconds, would be so emotionally disturbed because of a little flower seller
However, she did look a little different from usual ever since she met the little flower seller.
"The border is in chaos now?" Just when Zhai Mu's thoughts were a little complicated, Leng Yiyao from behind suddenly spoke.
Just one sentence shocked him completely.
He had previously been arranged by the marshal to train on the front lines. When it comes to understanding the border, he is indeed qualified to speak. He didn't know why Leng Yiyao suddenly asked so casually, but he subconsciously understood that it was best not to prevaricate casually.
After pondering for a moment, he replied: "Recently, it is indeed a bit unstable."
Although it is said that it is unstable, in fact, it is already "at war with each other", and the drills of the armies on both sides are much more intensive and frequent than usual. Not to mention the frictions, big and small, and the private fights between you and me. However, it is all under various inexplicable guises, and the exchanges between you and me have not risen to the official level. Naturally, they have not been brought to the public on a large scale.
"So, the situation of the civilians at the border is much more troublesome than that of the little girl just now?" They were forced to sell flowers at night. At least they could still eat and have bricks and tiles to protect them from the wind and rain. The war was about to break out at the border. I'm afraid this is far from the case.
Zhai Mu suddenly braked suddenly, and the car slid on the road for two meters before stopping. He had already driven to a relatively quiet area. There were no pedestrians around, which made the car seem eerily quiet. However, he didn't care about it. He turned around and looked at Leng Yiyao quietly: "What do you want to say?"
There are commotions, provocations, threats, and the situation on the other side of the border is almost overwhelming. Not to mention flowers, even materials and food have increased. Those who can have a full stomach are wealthy people. Now everyone is trying their best to leave their hometown. Those civilians who have been inferior to others since birth can't see how they can live.
Leng Yiyao looked intently into the distance, her eyes astonishingly bright like will-o'-the-wisps at night.
"This is probably what Hemo has been busy with recently. The two countries are probably going to go to war."
As soon as the voice fell, Zhai Mu was shocked. He almost felt that his heartbeat was beating out of his voice at this moment.
How does she know
No one even in the royal family knew these secrets. How could she guess it
Just because of that little girl and those few words
Leng Yiyao did not give him a chance to recover, and stared into his eyes quietly: "Since there is going to be a war, the two countries will tear up their alliance soon, why are you coming back from the border?"
For a moment, Zhai Mu's heart shrank, almost thinking that Leng Yiyao's eyes could penetrate everything in the world!
How did she know he wasn't actually willing to leave the border
What did she mean by what she said
Did she know something
Leng Yiyao looked at the other party's suddenly tightened jaw indifferently. After a long time, she smiled softly and changed the subject: "The emperor has just ascended the throne, so he may not be able to take care of border affairs. Coupled with the birth of the eldest princess, this For once, Hemer may have taken the leading opinion. War or peace, the answer will soon be available."
She smiled and slowly told the story about the border as if chatting.
Logically speaking, she was just a high school student and had never even been to the border. In front of Zhai Mu, she obviously didn't have as much information as he did. But he had no room to refute every word she said.
Because everything she said was true!
Otherwise, it was just a small disturbance at the border, how could it disturb the marshal's schedule again and again.
While everyone in the imperial capital was still intoxicated and curious, spying on the royal family's secrets and belongings, the situation on the other side of the border had become increasingly dangerous.
"Let's go." Just when Zhai Mu felt a little chilly, Leng Yiyao suddenly raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly at him: "If you don't go back, Frey will ask you what happened on the way."
The two of them knew the meaning of these words.
She didn't want him to tell others what she just said.
Since Hemo didn't want her to worry, he didn't mention a word from beginning to end, so she just pretended he didn't know.
However, the "travel abroad" that M proposed just an hour ago has officially changed the direction of her itinerary in her mind.
In this case, why not take advantage of the National Day and go directly to neighboring countries
However, there must be a reason for the sudden commotion at the border after living a good life.
Let’s not talk about the eldest princess. The eldest princess is an authentic “marriage”. Are the neighboring royal families planning to throw away this “abandoned child”, or are the two parties already in agreement and communicating with each other
She leaned softly in the leather seat, tilted her head slightly, and watched the scenery passing by outside the window.
At that moment, Zhai Mu was well-informed, but when he looked at her face through the rearview mirror, he couldn't guess what it was about.
For some reason, Leng Yiyao's pointed words just now, "The two countries are about to tear up their alliance, why are you coming back from the border?" gave him a bad feeling.
…
Along the way, the two fell into a rare silence.
When the car arrived at the door of the Marshal's Mansion, Frey happily greeted him. When they got out of the car, their expressions had returned to their usual appearance.
Not to mention Frey, even all the other guards officers in the Marshal's Mansion found nothing unusual.
That night, Leng Yiyao invited Zhai Mu to stay for dinner. Everyone ate the latest dishes developed by the chef. The laughter spread far, but that night, Hemo did not come back...
When Leng Yiyao got up the next day, she found that the person who had not returned home all night was sitting in the living room reading a report.
His hands are strong and strong, and when he holds the report, he is awe-inspiring.
But when he heard her voice, the look in his eyes was extremely peaceful and soft: "Are you up?"
Leng Yiyao responded in a low voice. When she got up, her voice was a little hoarse. She took the cup and poured half a cup of warm water and drank it before she felt a little relieved.
She glanced at the report in his hand, which was densely packed with words, and shook her head: "Have you been in trouble recently?"
Hemo frowned and did not deny it, but he did not want her to worry: "Trouble is out of the question, but it will come sooner or later."
The reason for the initial peace talks with neighboring countries was because neither country had the strength to continue fighting, let alone the confidence to directly win the other side. Everyone is on par with each other. The empire has developed recently, and the neighboring countries are resting and recuperating.
However, the speed of provocation this time was much earlier than he imagined.
He slowly lowered his eyes and smiled softly.
Just when Leng Yiyao felt that his smile was a bit sultry, Hemo had already stood up and walked behind her.
"I heard that you made an appointment to talk to someone yesterday?"
He and she had always been on a straight-line basis. He had placed people in Shengde High School to protect her safety, and she didn't know it.
Sometimes, it is the most troublesome to be clever and pretend to be confused.
Since he was willing to mention it, she naturally didn't shy away from it: "Well, I made an appointment with M."
He met M at the royal family's last masquerade. Obviously, she didn't need to explain.
Sure enough, Hemer paused and his expression darkened slightly.
Leng Yiyao took another cup, filled it with water for him, and handed it over slowly, then said slowly: "He asked me to go out with him on National Day, and I agreed."
Hermer's eyes suddenly darkened and he stared at Leng Yiyao quietly.
Leng Yiyao was a little confused when he looked at him.
When chatting before, he also said that he was busy with things during the National Day and could not spare any time.
It doesn't matter if she goes abroad for the National Day. Then she can take time off and go on vacation with him. Why such a big reaction
In Hemo's mind, the way M looked at Leng Yiyao during that meeting was flashing through his mind.
That pair of eyes is something that only a few people can possess. She actually told him in front of him that she wanted to go on vacation to an exotic country with a man? What is the circuit in her mind
