Mu Xuanyin saying 'your husband' in such a manner made Hua Mu Jin feel slightly embarrassed.
But the truth was, Bai Zhan Ke was indeed her husband, and even though she was embarrassed, Hua Mujiao didn't say anything.
"Why is it different? Back then, was the State of Heaven's Illumination really that powerful? Why would every country send protons over there? "
Hua Mujie knew that White War Grag had once been a proton in the State of Heaven, but why did she become a proton? And why did she have to become a proton? Hua Mujie never asked White War Grag because she didn't want to reveal the scars.
"This is a long story, but Your Highness can tell you about it."
As he said that, Mu Xuanli patted his sleeves, found a stool to sit on by the bed, and sat down.
Then, he continued, "Back then, the Heavenly Light Empire was very powerful, and planted spies in all the kingdoms, so it wasn't really a big deal. But the problem is, the monarchs of the Heavenly Light Empire always treated the people like ants, and those spies listened to the monarchs of the Heavenly Light Empire and spread poison in all the major cities of the nations, causing the citizens to lose their lives."
Mu Xuanyin paused for a moment as she spoke, her brows slightly knitted.
"Those poisons are special poisons. Without the antidote for the king of the Heavenly Light Empire, the citizens can only wait for their deaths. In order to stop the Emperor from massacring the citizens, the various countries had joined forces to negotiate with the king of the State of Heaven's Radiance. In the end, they sent a prince from their country to the State of Heaven as a proton. "
With a prince in hand, of course the other nations would not easily join hands and start a war against the Heavenly Light Empire. As for Your Highness, I requested that the Heavenly Light Nation be the proton, while your husband was forcibly sent there because the Queen of the Huan Yue Kingdom disliked him.
After listening to Mu Xuanyin's explanation, Hua Mujiao's heart ached for Bai Zhan Ke ten thousand times.
She knew that it must have been the empress dowager who had sent Bai Zhan Ke to the Kingdom of Tianzhao for the sake of the protons. Hua Mujiao really hated the empress dowager to the point that her teeth itched.
"Oh right, let me tell you something else, your highness. When your husband was in the Heavenly Sunlight Kingdom as a proton, because he was ordered by the empress at that time, he was naturally bullied and humiliated by the royal family. In the Heavenly Sunlight Nation, he was tortured quite a bit."
Even without Mu Xuanyin saying anything, Hua Mu Jin had already guessed it.
That so-called Crown Prince of the Heavenly Light Empire, he must have bullied Bai Zhan Ke quite a few times. Thinking of this, Hua Mujiao suddenly felt that it was too easy for that Nangong Yao to beat him to death.
If she knew all of this, she would have made that so-called Crown Prince of the State of Heaven wish she was dead …
"So, you met him in the State of Heaven?"
"You can say that, but at that time, in order to not cause trouble for the Southern Kingdom, no matter how much he was bullied, I did not help him. I only gave him some medicine after he was bullied."
Mu Xuanli spoke indifferently, looking at Hua Mujiao, as if he was afraid that this woman in front of him would blame him if he didn't help her.
"Being able to give him medicine can already be considered to be a righteous act. I believe I will remember this favor."
Hua Mu Jin understood Mu Xuanyin's intentions. If it was her, she would have done the same thing to avoid causing trouble for her country.
Therefore, she didn't have the qualifications to blame Mu Xuanyin.
"Tch, what do you mean by ungrateful? In the beginning, that cold-faced husband of yours didn't appreciate your kindness at all. He was afraid that I would poison him in the midst of his wounds, and that he wouldn't be able to do anything at all."
"…"
Mu Jin didn't know how to respond to Mu Xuanyin's words, but based on Bai Zhan Ke's personality, it seemed that this was something that he could do.
"Then how did he accept it?"
"Of course, it was this prince's sincerity that moved him."
Mu Xuanli's face revealed a hint of pride as he spoke.
But in truth, that was not the case.
Bai Zhan Ke had rejected Mu Xuanyin's medicine not only because he was afraid of the poison in the medicine, but also because he was afraid that Mu Xuanyin would be implicated in his plan.
But later on, Mu Xuanyin heard about the matter of Bai Zhan and his mother from who knows where, and made a deal with Mu Xuanli.
"Yes, yes, yes, you are the strongest. How can you not deal with the First Prince of the Southern Kingdom? But no matter what, I still have to thank you. Otherwise, I might not be able to meet him."
In his heart, Hibiscus vulgaris was still very grateful to Mu Xuanyin.
"Yo, yo, yo, you still want to thank This Highness on behalf of your husband? "This married daughter of mine is indeed like the water that has been poured out; she belongs to someone else."
Mu Xuanyin's words were a little sour, but Hua Mu Jin ignored him and playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Alright, you rest first. Remember to not touch the water for these few days. You have to get someone to change the medicine every day. If you feel any discomfort, send someone to inform this prince that this prince will not leave this place for the time being."
"Mm, alright. Thank you, Great Emperor."
Initially, Mu Xuanli had made a deal with Bai Zhan Ke to ask for Hua Cheng's whereabouts, but because they were in the Heavenly Light Empire, Mu Xuanli didn't give him a portrait. He only said that Hua Qingcheng was born with a peerless beauty, and if there was a girl that you thought was peerless, someone would send a message to him.
However, Bai Zhan Ke had no concept of a woman's appearance.
Therefore, Bai Zhan Ke had failed to trust Mu Xuanyin after this incident.
After the conversation with Mu Xuanyin, Hua Mujiao's heart ached for Bai Zhan Ke. The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged for Bai Zhan.
"White battle kite, how about I change my nickname to you? It's always white war kite, I feel like I'm not close enough, tell me, how do you want me to call you?"
Deep into the night, when Bai Zhan Ke came back, Hua Mu Jin was like a obedient kitten, clinging onto Bai Zhan Ke's body.
Hearing this, Bai Zhan knitted his eyebrows, looking at Hua Mu Jin with a weird look on his face.
After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "Up to you."
"…"
Hua Mujie was definitely not satisfied with this answer, so she rubbed Bai Zhan Ke's chest and started counting the nicknames she could think of for Bai Zhan Ke.
"Xiaobai?" Battle? Station? "Crack?"
Hua Mujie had counted countless so-called nicknames, but he only saw the corners of Bai Zhan Ke's mouth twitching. Obviously, Bai Zhan Ke didn't like the nicknames she had said.
"Or could it be that you like me to be like Nangong Qianhua and call you Big Brother Zhan? "Or is it, my brother?"
The darker his face became, the more Hua Mujie wanted to tease him.
That 'Big Bro Zhan', called Big Bro Qi. Hua Mujie herself felt goosebumps all over her body.
"Husband."
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Bai Zhan Ke said one word, and that completely stunned Hua Mujiao as she stared at him.
"Just call for my husband."
"…"
Hua Mu Jin was speechless.
However, she didn't find the title of 'husband' bad.
The problem, however, was that she wanted him to scream a little more.
"Yeah, it's good, but it's a bit too popular. I mean, it's a bit too popular."
As she said this, Hua Mujiao thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "How about this, in the future, when there's no one else around, I'll switch to your husband. What do you think?"
She didn't know when her husband had been addressed as Hua Mujiao, but she did know that in this foreign world, there definitely wasn't such a name.
Bai Zhan Ke was puzzled and asked: "Hubby? What do you mean? "
Hua Mujiao smiled, and replied with an extremely ambiguous smile: "This husband, he means the same thing, just his words are different. This is our world, how about calling him 'husband'? Do you like it?"
Upon hearing her husband's explanation, Bai Zhan Ke nodded in satisfaction. "En, alright."
"Right, will we still fight this battle? When are we going back? "
This war of agreements was over, but Hua Mujiao couldn't be sure. This was the end, if there were other wars of agreements, then it would be hard to say.
"In a few days, we'll wait for news from Nangong Yao."
"News?" "What …"
Just as Hua Mujiao wanted to continue asking about the news regarding Nangong Yao, a soldier's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Reporting to Your Majesty and Empress, this servant has something to report."
Right now, Hua Mu Jin and Bai Zhan Ke could still be considered to be fully dressed. Hua Mu Jin didn't pursue the matter and only loudly said, "What is it? Come in and report to me."
Kneeling on the ground, he said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Empress, this servant has caught two suspicious people hundreds of miles away from the military camp. Those two said they came to find Empress, that they were Empress's servants and guards, and this servant did not dare to carelessly do anything to them, so this servant rushed back to report to the Empress."
Servant girls and guards?
Hua Mujiao instantly thought of Yan Hua and Green Bamboo, her face filled with happiness.
She wanted to get out of bed, but she forgot about the wound on her finger. When her hands subconsciously reached for the edge of the bed, the piercing pain made her expression turn extremely ugly.
"You clearly know that you are injured, yet you are still so careless. It is sufficient as long as you get someone to bring them here. What are you getting so agitated for?"
Bai Zhan Ke also guessed that the two suspicious people were Yan Hua and Green Bamboo. But he didn't care, he only cared if Hua Mujiao's fingers hurt.
"You're right. Erm, go and bring those two to me."
"Yes."
The reason why the soldiers didn't capture Green Bamboo and Yan Hua and bring them into the barracks was because they were afraid that they were enemy spies. If they casually brought them in, it might bring them disaster, so they sent someone to report.
When the green bamboo and Yan Hua were brought into the tent, the green bamboo instantly kneeled on the ground, looking at Hua Mu Jin's tears.
"Empress, this servant, this servant, has finally found you."
Seeing Green Bamboo kneeling on the ground, Hua Mujiao wanted to help her up, but she was stopped.
"Enough. What are you crying for? Quickly get up. Have you recovered from the injuries on your body?"
Green Bamboo stood up, wiped away his tears and nodded.
"Yes, this servant is fine. Empress, there is no need to worry. Empress, what happened to your hand?"
