C70

Yi Xiaoqiao's forehead was flushed red. It was as if a pink peach blossom petal had been lit between his eyebrows. On that jade-like skin, there was a bit of an enchanting beauty.

Mu Yi'an pinched her chin and looked left and right. He nodded his head in satisfaction. "Snowy skin and pink peaches on the forehead, they complement each other."

"That's right, the lady is getting more and more beautiful."

Yi Xiaoqiao was speechless. It was fine if he had hit her forehead, but he didn't know whether he was praising her or mocking her.

Seeing Mu Yi'an looking at her with a smile, his eyes were like pearls in the dark shining, making people's minds flutter. She reached out her hand a little shamefully and flicked his forehead.

Mu Yi An was slightly startled. This was the first time in his life that he met someone who dared to hit him. This made him a little surprised.

Yi Xiaoqiao smiled without the slightest fear. On the contrary, he said as if it was a matter of course, "Treat each other courteously."

Mu Yi'an laughed helplessly, stroking the spot where she hit. It didn't hurt and was even a little itchy, making him feel a little funny.

"Too bad it didn't pop up." Yi Xiaoqiao shook her head regretfully and said with a sigh, "It must be that your skin is too thick."

"…" Mu Yi An raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "But you're so thin-skinned, you can break it if you blow it. How about you let your husband play it for you once a day in the future?"

Yi Xiaoqiao subconsciously covered his forehead and smiled. "Husband is too courteous. How can I trouble you with this kind of daughter matter? I can just paint it with rouge myself."

Are you kidding me? If you play it every day, you'll get concussion. Even if you don't get concussion, it's not a good thing to play it every day. As a medical student, you should have this sort of common sense.

"That... "What did she tell you, the two of you were sneaking around …" Yi Xiaoqiao looked at Muyi in curiosity. She had been very curious when they were talking, but at that time it wasn't good to ask, and she shouldn't have openly listened. Now that there was no one else by her side, she naturally couldn't help herself.

The carriage rolled along the road, and it was a little bumpy.

Yi Xiaoqiao held onto the carriage to support his body, afraid that he would be thrown out.

"I didn't say anything, I was just crying." Mu Yi An thought about it and concluded.

The corner of Yi Xiaoqiao's mouth twitched as he said sarcastically, "I specifically ran to the broken temple to cry with you. The one you like has a very special hobby. Are you not afraid of being seen by others? Is there any reason?"

Mu Yi'an smiled, "Of course, it's not that simple. She has some suspicious people."

Her meaning was the same as Yi Xiaoqiao's analysis, that someone was purposely framing her.

Although she didn't hide it during the search, she had ordered people to keep it a secret to ensure Yunshu's innocence afterwards. King Yu also ordered not to mention it to anyone, but people didn't expect that this matter would be known by everyone in less than half a day.

She forced her little sister to give birth to a concubine without any of the temperament of a eldest sister or a direct descendant. All sorts of rumors and rumors were flying everywhere as if she had grown legs.

Afterwards, she promptly sent people to investigate, but she did not find anyone in the mansion who spread rumors or gossip. She was sure that this was not the news from her own residence, and that the news had originated from outside. In other words, the manor had been targeted, and she was the one that had been targeted.

She guessed that there were some people who were jealous of her going to the palace and wanted to ruin her reputation, so the most important thing for her to do was to cut off these rumors. No matter what methods she used, she absolutely could not let these rumors spread to the palace, and even more so, she could not let the emperor hear them.

The reason why Yun Jiao sought out Mu Yi'an was because of one last thing.

Although he only had the title of prince, in the end, it was still inferior to the military power of Mu Yi An. After thinking about it a lot, he still had to let Mu Yi An do it, and what Mu Yi An did was the most reasonable thing to do.

"So it's to get you to help her stop the rumors. I thought it was something." Yi Xiaoqiao muttered in a low voice, leering at Muyi. He said in a mocking tone, "It's good to have a flower protector by her side. No matter what she does, there will always be someone unconditionally helping her."

To say that she was a Flower Protector would be a very nice thing to say. To put it bluntly, she was Bei Tai. She was the kind of Bei Tai who would move around wherever he was needed.

Mu Yi An saw the mockery in her eyes. He pinched her little face and said, "Don't have a conscience, didn't I help her also help you?"

Yi Xiaoqiao rubbed her face. "Thank you so much."

"Yun Jiao has listed a few names. They're all women who will be participating in the palace selection next year, just like her."

Yi Xiaoqiao rolled his eyes and went over to say, "You mean, this person framed Yun Jiao and me because he was jealous of Yun Jiao being able to enter the palace, or perhaps he thought that Yun Jiao had taken their positions?"

"Yun Jiao is different from them. Yun Jiao was ordered by the emperor. Although she has yet to enter the palace, she is already destined to become the palace's concubine. They want to enter the palace themselves next year. It might be possible to say that they are jealous."

"Then find out from the person who didn't get along with Yun Jiao!"

Seeing her burning gaze, Mu Yi An smiled and said, "Yes, I did think like that, but have you ever thought about why she wanted to hurt you?"

Yi Xiaoqiao held her head and thought for a moment before shaking her head, "I won't become the palace's concubine. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be the target of those people."

"Yes, that's why …"

"So?" Yi Xiaoqiao looked at him curiously.

"Therefore, from today onwards, you are to stay at home and not go anywhere."

"…" What are you doing?!

Yi Xiaoqiao was depressed. "What you're doing is unfair. Why can't you stop Yun Jiao's foot? She's the target right now."

"She is the target of her own making, so she has to protect her safety. It has nothing to do with me, but you are my wife, so I must take responsibility for you." Mu Yi An's expression became more and more serious. He held Yi Xiaoqiao's hand and said, "Be good, don't run around like that for the next few days."

"…" Yi Xiaoqiao felt wronged. She was already very obedient, alright? Recently, she didn't even dare to go out the door.

"Okay, but tell me if you have any news. You can't hide it from me." Yi Xiaoqiao thought of the incident when she was attacked at the wedding and felt a lingering fear. Back then, she had been ambushed without any preparation. If her mentality was not good enough, she would have been lying down by now.

"I don't want to be kept in the dark like last time. I'll only know when the time comes."

Seeing that her expression was different, Mu Yi An knew that she was thinking about the last time she was attacked. He consoled her in a low voice, "Alright, I won't hide it from you this time."

Yi Xiaoqiao observed his expression. Finally, she raised her palm and said, "Let's clap hands and form an alliance."

Mu Yi'an clapped with her: "Clap your hands to form an alliance."

Only then did Yi Xiaoqiao become happy.

Mu Yi'an shook his head. In his heart, he thought that she was still a child, so he didn't bother to think about it. If she got the news here first, then why would she hide it from him?

Unexpectedly, just as the horse carriage came to a stop, Cui Chen came in and said in a low voice: "There is news from the Blood Lotus Cult."

"…" Mu Yi'an's smile froze.

Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Cui Chen nodded and glanced strangely at Muyi: Why does he look like he's going down?
