Bai Zhan's kiss to Nan Gong Qian Hua had caused Hua Mu Jin to be disappointed in him.
The love she believed in, was to join hands with others, together, then she must not betray.
If he couldn't do it, then he might as well let it go. No one would miss anyone, let alone pester them. That would only make her feel disgusted.
"I've said it before, it's not like what you saw!"
Hua Mujie's rejection caused Bai Zhan's face to darken.
The tone of his voice turned cold.
"Not what I saw? Bai Zhan Ke, at this moment, you must think that I am making trouble for no reason, right? If you think so, I won't explain anything. But in the future, you will be you and I will be me. The only thing that exists between us is a relationship of mutual utilization. "
Hua Mujiao's words were straightforward, completely disregarding everything that happened between her and the man in front of her.
The man's face was dark, and the anger in his heart was rising.
He abruptly stood up and pressed Hua Mujie down below him.
"I'm telling you, you, Hua Mujiao, can only be my woman forever. I won't be a passerby in your life, and you can forget about leaving me!"
Hua Mujiao had never seen a battle like this before, and for some reason, she felt a little scared.
His body was not only overbearing and tyrannical, it was also filled with possessiveness.
"Bai Zhan Ke, have you gone mad? Move aside, let me go …"
Hua Mujiao wanted to break free from the man's restraints, but she underestimated his strength. This time, no matter how she struggled, it was all useless.
"Jin'er, you can only belong to us for the rest of your life!"
Hua Mujie always knew that Bai Zhan Ke had a strong possessive desire for her, but she never thought that his possessive desire would be so crazy.
"You, Bai Zhan Ke, let go of me, let go …"
"I say, what are you two doing in the palanquin? Since you've already stopped to rest for a while, can't you keep your voices down? Do you want your subordinates to see your jokes? "
Shangguan Yi's voice came from outside the sedan.
Bai Zhan Ke loosened his grip on Hua Mujiao, and took the chance to push the man away.
And then, as if fleeing, he lifted the curtain and went down.
Looking at the breathless Hibiscus Flower, Green Bamboo passed the water in his hand over.
"Empress, are you alright?" "Hurry up and drink some water."
Taking the water from the bamboo, Hua Mujiao took a big gulp, his heart was still beating fast.
At this moment, she finally understood what it meant to be a companion to a tiger. It was indeed true.
"What did you do to her? Seeing how afraid she is of you, it can't be that you've made a move against people, right? "
Next to the sedan chair, Shangguan Yi looked at Hua Mujiao and asked.
Bai Zhan Ke's gaze fell on Hua Mujiao, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his pitch-black eyes.
"In the end, she still doesn't trust me!"
Turning around, Shangguan Yi's brow furrowed as she looked at the monarch beside her in disbelief.
He had learned a bit about the two of them from Bai Yan.
"It's not that she doesn't trust you, but you ruthlessly stabbed her with a knife in the trust she had in you. Why don't you just explain it to her? Just by saying 'trust', you want her to avoid smelling it? You should know her personality better than I do. "
Shangguan Yi's words were accurate.
He didn't think that just because of the word 'trust me', Hua Mujie would completely ignore what she saw and blindly trust the white war cry.
At the very least, he had to explain everything in detail before she could continue to believe him.
"You seem to understand her very well?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Shangguan Yi. Bai Zhan Ji did not deny his words.
On the contrary, he felt that Shangguan Yi knew her very well.
Hearing this, Shangguan Yi was startled, then smiled.
"Of course. After all, she and I are both bleeding the same blood. If she doesn't understand, won't that make our father cry?"
Shangguan Yi's relaxed tone eased the tension in Bai Zhan's expression.
When he was in the sedan chair, he was infuriated by Hua Mujiao's words.
After a short conversation with Shangguan Yi, Bai Zhan realized that his actions had indeed frightened Hua Mu Jin.
After a long while, he lowered his gaze and asked in a low voice, "Shangguan Yi, how do you think I should stop her from getting angry?"
"Ah?" You, what did you just say? "
Shangguan Yi's face was filled with shock as she stared at Bai Zhan in disbelief. She felt as if she had been hallucinating, and even reached out her hands to poke at her ears comically.
Bai Zhan Ke glanced at him and ignored him.
Shaking her head helplessly, a hint of desolation flashed across Shangguan Yi's clear eyes.
"It's simple. She's angry right now, but your personality is very domineering, so you shouldn't go and get in her way. Once she calms down, you can explain it to her, and she will be able to listen."
"Pass the order down, continue on your way."
After speaking in a low voice, Bai Zhan Ke walked towards his palanquin.
Five days later, at the relay station.
In the room, Shangguan Yi was sitting on a stool, fiddling with a teacup.
"I am surprised. We travelled for five days in a row, but we didn't expect our journey to be smooth sailing. Logically speaking, the empress dowager wouldn't have let go of this opportunity. How could there be no signs of movement? Or could it be that she was tripped by the Marquis in the palace and couldn't get her hands on him? "
Luo Chen, who was standing at the side, echoed his words.
"Your subordinate also feels that the journey of five days is a bit too peaceful. What kind of medicine is the empress dowager hiding in her gourd?"
Beside the table, Hua Mujiao looked at the two of them and sighed.
"I say, you two, can we talk in your room? Two grown men in my room, will they let me rest? I don't know if men and women are intimate with each other, but if my tongue is chewed, would you guys be able to compensate me for my reputation? "
Hua Mujie really didn't know what the two men were thinking. They had no intention of leaving after staying in his room.
Were they planning to stay in their own rooms?
"This general is your blood brother, whoever dares to gossip, I'll cut off his tongue!"
Shangguan Yi said that he was filled with pride, and this was the first time he admitted that he was Hua Mujie's brother.
Luo Chen pursed his lips into a smile and said to Hua Mujiao, "Empress, I and General Shangguan have followed Master's orders to protect your safety. If there's an assassin, you won't be able to deal with them all by yourself, right?"
She narrowed her eyes helplessly, then walked to the side of the bed and sat down.
She finally understood why Bai Zhan Ke hadn't come looking for her in the past few days. He had used another method to send someone to make things difficult for her.
"Come on, I guess there won't be any killers in the next few days. Even if you want to protect me, we'll talk after we cross the border."
Luo Chen didn't understand the meaning behind Hua Mujiao's words, so he asked, "Empress, where did these words come from?"
She rolled her eyes at him, then directly put her clothes back on the bed.
She put her hands under her head and crossed her legs on the bed.
"Are you stupid? If Her Majesty really wants to send someone to assassinate us, we'll have to wait until we're tired from the journey, until the guards relax before we act. Now that we have made our move, with so many guards, didn't those assassins come here to seek death? "
Hua Mujiao then turned to Shangguan Yi and continued, "Besides, if the ruler of a country were to die in his own country, it would cause panic among the people. Even if Bai Lingyu succeeded the throne, the people would still think he was the culprit. However, if the Sovereign King were to die in another country, this would become a conflict between the two countries. It would be much easier to change the views of the citizens. "
Hua Mujiao's analysis was very clear, and Luo Chen's face was filled with admiration.
Shangguan Yi also cast an appreciative look at her.
"You are quite calm. In four or five days, we will arrive at the border between the two countries. I'm afraid that the rest of the journey will not be easy."
"It's good that you know this, then why are you still standing here? When I sleep at night, I don't like people watching me." Furthermore, I have a habit of sleeping naked, so it can't be that you guys want to see my jade body? "
"Puff …" "Cough, cough …"
As soon as Hibiscus rosacea's voice faded, Shangguan Yi spat out the tea that she had just drunk.
Luo Chen, who was standing, also blushed after she finished speaking.
"Hua Mu Jin, you're a girl, how could you say such shameful and unbearable words? This general is now deeply suspicious of whether or not you gave birth to the wrong child. "
Hua Mujiao shot a glance at Shangguan Yi, displeased.
"You're the one who got the wrong baby! Isn't it just a single sentence, like sleeping? If it were left at our place, every girl would be able to say it out loud. What are you making such a fuss about? "
"…"
Luo Chen stood at the side, speechless. He didn't dare to continue their conversation.
Shangguan Yi, on the other hand, was very curious about what she meant by 'if he were to leave it to us'.
"Luochen, you go out first. This general has something to discuss with esteemed wangfei in private."
Hearing this, Luo Chen looked at the two and left the room.
After a long while, Hua Mujiao looked at Shangguan Yi, waiting for her to speak up and see what she wanted to talk about with him.
"Hua Mu Jin, tell this general honestly, where did you jump out from? Your manners and your words are not like those of a man who belongs here. This general once asked a high monk, and he only said one thing. "Tell me, what do you mean by that?"
High monk?
Hearing that, Hua Mu Jin abruptly sat up from the bed.
She furrowed her brow and stared at Shangguan Yi, unblinking.
"Shangguan Yi, I'm curious as well. Why are you so interested in me?" Also, you sometimes see the look on the face of a white warrior, which is extremely strange. He wasn't looking at the monarch, nor was he looking at his brothers. In fact, there were a few emotions mixed within. Tell me, why is this so? "
When Shangguan Yi heard this, he was stunned.
Originally, he wanted to get something out of Hua Mujiao, but he didn't expect that she would rebel against him.
"Seems like, this general asked you a question first? If you tell me the truth, this general will naturally answer all your questions without holding back.
Hua Mu Jin's lips curled up as he chuckled.
"The trade is not bad, but I have already guessed your feelings for Bai Zhan Ke, I don't think you need to answer me, right? In our place, love is gender-neutral, although people will still be discriminated against, but I am not that kind of person. Don't worry, I won't look at you differently. "
