Chapter 226 Feeding the Gu with Blood
The wedding night was not so charming.
As Mu Cang said, the two of them were like allies fighting side by side. They talked about family and national affairs. Their words were calm, lazy and leisurely, and their eyebrows and eyes showed the bearing and courage of controlling the world.
It was just that when his eyes occasionally moved, he couldn't help but reveal some joy and tenderness.
It seemed that even the air and lights at night had a little more tenderness.
The red candle burned little by little, and the clock was deep.
The wedding bed carefully decorated by the bridesmaids was still scattered with peanuts, longans, red dates, and chestnuts. Mu Cang personally tidied up the red mandarin duck quilt and let Yan Li go to bed.
"We are already married, and living in two different places will make people suspicious." Mu Cang gave her the bed, "You sleep here, I'll sleep in the side hall."
Yan Li nodded: "After an hour, don't forget to ask them for some hot water, I want to take a bath."
Mu Cang was silent, glanced at her calm expression, and nodded slowly: "Yes."
"I know that the prince is a pure man, and he has not enjoyed the joy of love before the age of fourteen." Yan Li smiled lightly, "To be honest, I have never had it."
Mu Cang suppressed a cough: "I know."
"One hour is already very good for a young man who practices martial arts." Yan Li said, "Especially for the first time, it is inevitable to be a little nervous."
Mu Cang pursed his lips, and subtly didn't know how to respond.
Although they have never eaten pork, they have seen pigs run.
Being in the royal family, whether male or female, they accept boudoir affairs quite early, most of them start in their teens, but Mu Cang went to the border at the age of fourteen, busy fighting and killing enemies, and had no time for these.
As a princess, Xihe later became the Queen of the Southern Kingdom, and was taught about this early. She had read such books and naturally knew some of it.
She even needed to break the rule that women should be faithful to one man. She was instilled with the idea that the king should have three palaces and six courtyards since she was a child, and she could not indulge in the so-called love affairs.
But cognition is cognition. After all, she is a person with independent ideas, and she may completely obey the constraints of the rules.
In comparison, Mu Cang, a seven-foot-tall man, seems to be less calm and composed than Xihe in this matter.
Mu Cang walked over, untied her exquisite wedding dress, and gently stroked her hair: "Rest for a while. I'll have someone bring water in half an hour."
"Half an hour?" Yan Li raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"
Mu Cang's tone was as steady as a rock: "It's inevitable to be nervous for the first time."
Yan Li laughed: "Okay."
Mu Cang turned and went to the side hall.
Yan Li watched his tall and straight back, and suddenly frowned as she watched.
She still felt that Mu Cang's figure looked very familiar.
It was not the familiarity she had seen on the battlefield before, but a kind of... vague feeling of déjà vu.
Mu Cang's figure disappeared behind the partition door, and Yan Li retracted her sight.
Leaning on the head of the bed, she reached out and touched the soft and exquisite red silk quilt on the bed, thinking that this was probably the most special wedding night in the world.
On the wedding night, the bride and groom slept separately, and they were still in a state of emotional incompatibility.
The reason for the separate rooms was obvious.
Yan Li was about to pick up the book on the bedside, but suddenly remembered something, paused, and looked up at the partition door.
After a moment, she got up and walked towards the side hall.
"Mu Cang." Yan Li raised her hand and knocked on the door, looking at Mu Cang sitting on the couch casually, "Did you forget something?"
Mu Cang looked up at her and quickly understood what she meant.
After a moment of silence, he got up and walked over, took Yan Li's hand and sat back in front of the couch, and took a book from the desk in front of him.
"Since you want to know, I will keep my promise." Mu Cang's voice was low and pleasant, "What do you want to know?"
"Let's talk about the regent of Northern Frontier first."
Mu Cang was silent for a moment: "Three years ago, the emperor of Northern Frontier died suddenly. He didn't have time to make a will before his death. The young prince Chen Zizhan, who was only ten years old, succeeded to the throne."
"I know about this. After the young emperor ascended the throne, the Northern Frontier army was defeated by you twice in a row, and then it was quiet for a long time." Yan Li frowned, "How did you become the regent of Northern Frontier?"
Mu Cang said: "Because Chen Zizhan was poisoned by a Gu."
Yan Li frowned: "Another Gu poison?"
"Chen Zizhan was poisoned by the child Gu of the swallowing Gu. When it breaks out, he is in excruciating pain. It is not something a young man like him can bear." Mu Cang said, and was silent for a moment. "The Queen Mother has a mother Gu in her body."
Yan Li's expression was solemn, and her eyes fell on his face for a moment: "Are they mother-child Gu?"
"Yes."
"Mother-child Gu is extremely difficult to raise, and it may be as rampant as you said." Yan Li felt that this matter was weird, "and a little caution will be backfired."
"It needs to be rampant." Mu Cang's eyes narrowed slightly, "It only needs to be in the right person, and it can have a decisive effect."
Yan Li's head moved slightly, and his eyes flashed with understanding: "The poison in the Queen Mother and the little emperor of Northern Frontier was your work?" m.
"Yes." Mu Cang denied it at first, and then added, "It was my work."
Yan Li narrowed his eyes: "Then what about the Gu in your body?"
Mu Cang didn't speak.
"You gave yourself the Gu, what was your purpose?" Yan Li stared at him, "Are you saying that you were attacked by a thief and that person died in your hands?"
Mu Cang pursed his lips tightly and looked at her in silence.
"Why are you looking at me?" Yan Li frowned, "Mu Cang, you'd better tell the truth. I'm not that easy to fool. I don't like being deceived."
Mu Cang looked at her in silence, and after a moment, he slowly said, "The princess's pressure is strong, and your husband can resist it."
Your husband...
Yan Li's expression flashed, and she looked at him in silence.
Mu Cang hesitated slightly: "This is a long story--"
Yan Li narrowed his eyes: "Let's make it short."
Mu Cang paused, looked at her calmly for a moment, and finally lowered his eyes and slowly uttered four words: "Feed the Gu with blood."
When the voice fell, the room was silent.
