Chapter 201: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Mu Cang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking out of the window without saying a word. His profile was noble and handsome, with sharp edges and corners, and a cold and distant look.
"Mu Cang, is there anyone in the palace you don't want to see?" Yan Li looked at him thoughtfully, with a strange look in his eyes, "Who? Rong Xiao?"
Mu Cang was silent for a moment, turned his head and looked over: "If I really don't want to see you, can I not see you?"
Yan Li nodded casually: "Of course I can."
Mu Cang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and walked out: "Let's go."
Yan Li didn't say anything else, smiled lightly, and walked out with him.
A luxurious and spacious carriage stopped outside the gate of the palace. Yan Li stepped over the gate and looked at this luxurious carriage that he had ridden several times. He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The war god prince who galloped on the battlefield has recently liked to ride in a carriage?"
Mu Cang said in a low voice: "Riding in a carriage is quiet, well concealed, and will not delay our conversation."
Yan Li tilted his head and glanced at him: "I remember that the prince never talks too much."
Mu Cang hummed, and said in a very natural tone: "You are an exception."
Yan Li was silent.
The two entered the carriage one after the other.
Mu Cang sat opposite Yan Li and added seriously: "I cherish every opportunity to be alone with you."
Yan Li heard this, raised his eyes and stared at his handsome and noble eyebrows, and once again confirmed that Mu Cang's feelings were deep, deep enough to break his principles again and again.
Such feelings cannot be let down, otherwise it would be too cruel and make him look unfeeling.
Yan Li sighed secretly.
She suspected that Mu Cang was using the nine kingdoms as an excuse to weave a net of heaven and earth with tenderness and affection, trying to trap her in this net.
"What's wrong?" Mu Cang was puzzled.
Yan Li leaned against the carriage, staring at Mu Cang, her eyes playful: "Mu Cang, you are very cunning."
Mu Cang was silent for a moment, not knowing whether he understood her implication, but nodded in agreement: "You, you are watching."
Yan Li's lips curled slightly, with a lazy smile.
The carriage swayed on the wide street, heading straight towards the palace.
However, halfway through the journey, the carriage suddenly slowed down until it stopped completely: "Your Majesty, a carriage in front blocked the way, it should be from the palace."
Yan Li lifted the curtain and took a look through the window.
There was a big scene in front of him. A luxurious carriage blocked the middle of the road. Behind the carriage were a dozen palace maids and maids, and dozens of guards escorted it on both sides.
"It is indeed from the palace." Yan Li let down the curtain of the carriage, and his expression faded. "The imperial guards escorted it, and the palace maids and maids accompanied it... It should be Mu Xiuhan and Jiang Jingyue."
After all, Yan Li was also present when Emperor Zhaocheng ordered them to move to the East Palace within three days.
As soon as the voice fell, Mo Yun said coldly: "The Ninth Prince and Princess Nanyang are driving the carriage, make way in front!"
The opposite side did not recognize the carriage of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
But because the carriage was light and there were no other attendants except Mo Yun, Jiang Jingyue thought that there was only Yan Li in the carriage.
After all, Yan Li often used the carriage of the Ninth Prince's Mansion to bully others.
I didn't expect to meet the Ninth Prince's carriage on the street today.
As soon as Mo Yun said this, the imperial guards, palace maids and maids on the opposite side knelt down together: "Greetings to the Ninth Prince, greetings to Princess Nanyang!"
Jiang Jingyue sat stiffly in the carriage and couldn't help closing her eyes.
Mu Xiuhan is now just an idle prince without real power. According to the rules, he should get out of the carriage to greet the Ninth Prince, otherwise it would be disrespectful. She really hates being shorter than Yan Li.
Turning her head to look at Mu Xiuhan, she quickly hid her expression: "Prince, I will help you get into the carriage."
Mu Xiuhan didn't say anything.
The curtain of the carriage was slowly opened, and the pale Jiang Jingyue helped the equally pale Mu Xiuhan get into the carriage.
The so-called narrow road of enemies is probably like this.
Jiang Jingyue stood in front of the horse, thinking about Yan Li, who had grown up relying on the Jiang family's charity in the past, and now sat in the carriage of the Ninth Prince in great glory. When they met on the road, she didn't even have to show her face.
And she, the noble daughter of the Jiang family, the former crown princess, had to support the injured abandoned crown prince to salute and take the initiative to make way for him.
Jiang Jingyue wanted to pounce on her and tear her beautiful face to pieces on the spot.
However, the hatred could only be suppressed in her heart.
If they wanted to have room for a comeback, they had to endure humiliation and compromise.
"Xiu Han greets Uncle Nine." Mu Xiu Han stood in front of the carriage, staring at the carriage, trying to see through the curtains and look at the girl in the carriage. "Xiu Han moved today and blocked Uncle Nine's way. I hope Uncle Nine will forgive me."
Yan Li lifted the curtains of the window and looked at Mu Xiu Han and Jiang Jingyue. One of them was pale and tired, and the other was haggard. They looked so good together.
"Congratulations to both of you on your new home." Yan Li said indifferently, "The prince and I will send a gift later."
Jiang Jingyue's expression was as stiff as a wooden sculpture. After a long while, she forced a smile and said, "Thank you, cousin."
"You can still call me cousin today, but tomorrow you should call me Aunt Nine." Yan Li let go of the curtains, "Let's go."
Mu Xiu Han watched the carriage leave, moving farther and farther away, his mouth pursed into a line, and a dark light of determination slowly passed through his eyes.
If the only way to regain the position of crown prince is to marry Yan Li, then Yan Li must marry him.
"Prince Xian, please." The imperial guards escorting Prince Xian and his wife urged, "It's time to get in the carriage."
Mu Xiuhan turned around and walked towards his carriage.
Jiang Jingyue held her hand gently and did not miss the look she had just looked at Yan Li. When she lowered her eyes, her expression was cold and resentful.
"There's no need to be anxious." Mu Xiuhan walked into the carriage and slowly sat back, "It's mid-May, my father's fiftieth birthday. On such an important day, my father will definitely forgive us. I will behave well then." , Even if you can’t take back the crown prince right away, you can still achieve your freedom.”
Jiang Jingyue sat next to 놛. After hearing this, she smiled softly: "Dian 떘 is right. Things that should belong to 놆Dian 떘 will belong to 놆Dian 떘 sooner or later."
"I should be glad that the fourth child has also been imprisoned, otherwise I would really be worried about doing tricks behind my back." Mu Xiuhan closed his eyes, "There are distinguished guests in the palace today. If the crown prince's position is not removed, "No, I should sit in the main hall and discuss the political affairs of the two countries with the envoys of the Southern Kingdom."
Jiang Jingyue said: "The crown prince's position in the palace will be restored."
Mu Xiuhan said nothing, and the carriage drove all the way towards Prince Xian's Mansion.
