The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 476 Death of Xuanyuan Hong

"Oh, he's not in a hurry." Li Mulan responded casually.

"How can I not be anxious? Mother is telling you that this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. And now, I heard from your father and others that there will be no more wars and the prince will not have to go to the battlefield. If you don't want a child now, when will you have one?"

Li Mulan looked very conflicted. "Oh, I'm still so young. How can I be a mother? How can I take care of a child?"

"Every woman has to go through this. You don't know how to take care of a child, but I do. I will teach you."

Li Mulan was helpless. Her mother had stopped crying and started urging her to give birth again.

Can she say that she is still a virgin?

Chu Chenfeng was talking to some elders, while Zhang and Lin Xuelan were chatting with Li Mulan in the corner.

It was not until very late that Li Cong spoke and the two of them returned to the palace.

Although it was already late in the day, the Regent's Palace was brightly lit and even hung with red lanterns, looking very festive.

Li Mulan chuckled, "This was arranged by the housekeeper, right?"

Chu Chenfeng held his forehead helplessly. Who else could it be except the butler?

"It's nice, festive, and lively. Just looking at it makes people feel particularly good."

"like?"

Li Mulan raised the corners of her lips, "Yeah, I like it."

Chu Chenfeng looked at her tenderly, "You are the mistress of the palace, so you can arrange for the butler to prepare whatever you like."

"Well~ Don't worry, I won't let myself down."

The two men got off the carriage, and all the servants in the palace knelt down and saluted.

Zhang Yi and Little Grasshopper were also among them, and seemed to fit in well. They didn't come up to her directly at this time, but both of them looked very happy.

“Welcome back to the mansion, His Majesty and His Majesty’s wife!” ....”······

Chu Chenfeng held Li Mulan's hand and said to the people below in a rare gentle tone, "Stand up."

The old butler stood up and stepped forward with a look of joy, "The prince and princess have returned to the palace, and I have already made all the arrangements. Do the masters want to eat something or just wash up and rest?"

Li Mulan was stunned and glanced at Chu Chenfeng out of the corner of her eye.

Wash up and take a rest...

They are a couple, newlyweds, and should sleep in the same room, but...

I was still struggling when I heard Chu Chenfeng's deep voice, "Wash up and take a rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."

"Okay, I'll give the order right away."

Li Mulan felt a little embarrassed, and her hand, which was held by Chu Chenfeng, unconsciously shrank.

"what happened?"

"Ah! Nothing?" Li Mulan pretended to be sleepy and yawned, "I'm just a little sleepy."

Chu Chenfeng's eyes were full of tenderness. "Rest if you are sleepy. Let's go."

Li Mulan was dragged away by him. She didn't show anything on her face, but her heart was beating fast. No way, no way, is he going to... not give her any buffer at all today?

Back in the main courtyard, the maids had already prepared the bath water and clean clothes.

Fendai and Cuiping bowed respectfully, "Your servants pay their respects to the prince and princess." "Your servants pay their respects to the prince and princess."

Chu Chenfeng glanced at the two of them and said, "Help the princess wash up."

"Yes Yes."

Li Mulan walked into the house in a daze. As for where Chu Chenfeng was going, she had no intention of caring at all.

After washing up, Li Mulan changed into clean and comfortable pajamas, making her look more graceful.

Fendai combed Li Mulan's hair, "The princess' hair is so nice, so black and smooth."

Li Mulan smiled and said, "You and Cuiping are not bad at all."

Cuiping pouted, "No way, the princess's hair is black and shiny, unlike mine, which is yellow and dry, like straw."

Li Mulan was amused by her and turned around to take a look at her hair. It was indeed a little yellow and did not look a healthy color.

"No problem. Tomorrow I'll show you some recipes for nourishing your hair. If you use them for a while, they will definitely work."

Cuiping was surprised and said, "Really? Thank you, Princess. You are so kind."

Fendai said shyly, "Then Princess, can I use this servant?"

"Of course, you two can use it together then."

"Thank you, Princess."

The two maids' faces were filled with joy, as if they had received some extraordinary reward and were extremely happy.

Li Mulan looked at the door and said hesitantly, "Where is the prince?"

"Commander Xing Yi came just now. He must have something urgent to tell you. The prince has gone to the study. Do you want me to call him?"

Li Mulan waved her hand quickly, "No need, business is more important."

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise she really didn't know how to face it. It would be better to delay it for a while.

"By the way, where's Yudie?"

This girl has been disguising herself as herself and staying in the mansion. Now that she has come back, did she leave?

"Uncle Zhang has arranged Miss Yudie to live in another courtyard. Do you need me to go find her?"

"No need, Uncle Zhang will make the arrangements. It's nothing urgent, so we can meet tomorrow."

study.

"Xuanyuan Hong died in an unclear manner. Nalande was furious and started a purge in Ronghe City. Our people were also affected."

"Are there any casualties?"

"That's not the case. Nalande doesn't seem to want to kill us all. He just wants to warn us."

"Oh, he just doesn't want to break up with us. The young emperor ascended the throne, and the political situation is unstable. At this time, he can only seek stability and doesn't want to make enemies. Where is Situ Yue?"

"Before, Xuanyuan Hong acted as a guarantor, so Nalande spared his life and allowed him to go to the back office. He was not allowed to return without a license."

Expected.

"Withdraw our people."

Xing Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "All?"

"Yeah, all of them."

Xing Yi was a little reluctant, "We spent a lot of effort to drive them into Northern Qi, now we have to withdraw them all... isn't it a pity?"

"There is nothing to regret. At least in the next ten years, Northern Qi will be peaceful. I don't like to start a war. As long as they can stay calm, I will be happy. As for what will happen in the future, who can predict it for sure?"

Xing nodded, "Yes."

"It's Xuanyuan Hong who died in a strange way."

"Indeed, there was no sign at all, and he died in his own house."

"Nothing unusual at all?"

Xing Yi was a little hesitant, "It's not impossible. Our people have found traces of the Tianlang Nation's spies..."

Chu Chenfeng raised his eyes slightly, thinking of the punishment of Li Mulan and Situ Tianming, and seemed to have some guesses. Did this Xuanyuan Hong know something he shouldn't know?

"Do you suspect that Xuanyuan Hong's death is related to the Tianlang Nation?"

Xingyi immediately shook his head. "No, no, our people ran into the spies of the Tianlang Nation. They obviously had no ill will towards us, and they didn't seem to be doing anything behind our backs. Our people were keeping an eye on Xuanyuan Hong, and there was no trace of the spies of the Tianlang Nation on the day he died."

"But you suspect they must know something."

"Yes, although they did not attack, they went to investigate afterwards. I suspect they might have tried to clear the traces and protect someone."

"Are there any traces left?"

The doctor shook his head, "Not at all."

Chu Chenfeng smiled, "Okay, let's stop here. There's no need to investigate."

If it was someone from Lingxiao Palace who did it, it would be strange if there were any traces left.

"When will the Simon Mission arrive in Kyoto?"

"We can reach Kyoto in two days at most."

"Okay, let Gu Changqing keep a close eye on it. Don't let any accidents happen."

"Yes."

"Where is General Ye?"

"General Ye set out early, and he should arrive tomorrow."

"Let the emperor lead all the civil and military officials to personally welcome them at the city gate. The Ye family has been loyal for generations, and this is what they deserve."

"Yes."

Chu Chenfeng looked out the window, "Anything else?"

"There are some, but they are nothing serious."

Chu Chenfeng glanced at him and said, "Throw it to Gu Changqing. I'm going to rest now."

"······yes."

It was already very late when Chu Chenfeng returned to the main courtyard, and the lights were off.

He paused, not knowing for a moment whether he should go in. This girl really didn't wait for him.

Fendai came out at this time, bowed slightly and saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Is the princess asleep?"

"······yes."

Chu Chenfeng nodded, "Prepare water, I need to take a bath and change clothes."

"Yes."

"Don't stay in the main house, so as not to disturb the princess's rest."

"Yes."

After Chu Chenfeng finished washing up, he tiptoed into his and Li Mulan's room.

At this moment, the girl is sleeping soundly with her quilt in her arms.

Chu Chenfeng smiled helplessly, pulled the quilt together for her, and then carefully lay down beside her, for fear of waking her up.
