Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao didn’t go in the same path with the palace ministers. When they came out, they separated from them. On the road, with the guide of the eunuch, they came to the place, where their carriage stopped.

Without question, Xiao Tianyao once again robbed the maidservant’s job and helped Lin Chujiu get on the carriage. Lin Chujiu didn’t find anything wrong with it. She calmly put her hand to Xiao Tianyao’s hand and went inside. Leaving the guards and maidservants stunned in the same place.

At home, their w.a.n.gye let the maidservants serve his wife. But, why now that they’re outside, he doesn’t pay attention to their ident.i.ty?

If this thing gets out, others might laugh at their w.a.n.gye!

Inside the carriage, the two were still sitting together. Lin Chujiu thought that there will only be silence along the way. But, who would have thought that, as soon as Xiao Tianyao get inside, he said: “The Princess of the South’s att.i.tude is exactly the same as you before. The emperor gave you to benw.a.n.g, as to bring disaster like that to Xiao w.a.n.gfu.” So, he really wanted to kill Lin Chujiu from the very beginning.

Such a crazy woman marries and enters his door, will eventually bring disgrace to his face.

“Huh… …” Lin Chujiu was embarra.s.sed, and carefully recall the real Lin Chujiu’s behavior. But, she was not sure: “Am I really arrogant like that?”

“Not to be inferior in any aspects. Although benw.a.n.g didn’t pay much attention to it, benw.a.n.g heard Lin Furen visit door to door, just to apologize for you.” Lin Furen’s reputation as a benevolent mother comes to this.

Whenever Lin Chujiu causes trouble, Lin Furen never blamed her. Instead, Lin Furen will always go personally to apologize to the people she offended and took all the blame on to herself.

“The strange thing is, you never cause trouble in front of the royal family and n.o.bles, isn’t that very interesting?” Xiao Tianyao said. In other words, Lin Chujiu only offend people that can be suppressed by Lin Furen.

“You know what is going on, why bother asking?” Lin Chujiu got angry and arrogantly avoided to face Xiao Tianyao.

Xiao Tianyao was really annoying this time. Did he talk about the past to laugh at her stupidity?

“No, benw.a.n.g doesn’t know. Benw.a.n.g is curious whether you don’t understand your behavior or deliberately cooperating with Lin Furen.” Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu.

Nannuo Yao was also just acting stupid and arrogant tonight, but she was actually not. She inevitably had a plan in mind. On the other hand, the real Lin Chujiu just doesn’t care to lose face, as long as she was happy.

“Is this important?” Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao with a gloomy face.

How is she going to answer this question? Can she tell him that the past and present were two different people?

“Not important.” Lin Chujiu doesn’t want to talk about it, so Xiao Tianyao didn’t chase after the topic. He only said: “You be careful with Lin Furen, she looks at you like a sore in the eyes.”

That flash of killing intent, others didn’t notice it, but Xiao Tianyao, who is a martial G.o.d didn’t miss it.

“I will pay more attention.” Lin Furen gave her a chronic poison, so it’s not strange. However, Lin Chujiu feels like there was another person, she needs to put a guard on.

“w.a.n.gye, have you met Princess Nannuo Yao before?”‘ Lin Chujiu asked.

“The Southern Princess?” Xiao Tianyao was quite surprised. But then, shook his head: “Never seen her.”

“Well, if you haven’t seen her, how come she was so against me?” Wasn’t it because of Xiao Tianyao?

“She learned about you from before.” Nannuo Yao thought she was clever enough, but she didn’t expect that her target was not stupid. Nannuo Yao thinks she was a tiger biting a dog.

“Not that, didn’t you notice it today, she was targeting me the whole time?” Lin Chujiu doesn’t think she was wrong. Nannuo Yao tried to conceal it, but there were still some traces.

* not to be inferior in any aspects (idiom) – much worst.

“She looks at you in the eyes, as if she was looking at the love of her life. If my guess is correct, she likes you.” Lin Chujiu said with certainty, so Xiao Tianyao had a gloomy face: “Impossible.” He has never seen the Southern Princess, why would she fall in love with him?

“I’m not lying, she looked at you, the same way Mo Yuer looked at you.” She is also a woman, she won’t be mistaken in this.

Xiao Tianyao frowned, then said, “Benw.a.n.g will check into this matter.”

Lin Chujiu nodded her head and no longer entangled herself in this matter. The two fell silent until they arrived in Xiao w.a.n.gfu.

When the two went out in the carriage, a guard came forward and reported: “w.a.n.gye, Su Gongzi and Liu Daren are waiting for you in the study room. They said there was an urgent report from 800 miles.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu were relieved at the same time. Xiao Tianyao was really afraid to go back with Lin Chujiu. And be driven out once again. It was too shameful.

Lin Chujiu doesn’t want to make trouble. She was very tired to drive away Xiao Tianyao. This banquet tonight drained all her energy, she really wanted to have a good rest.

Xiao Tianyao told the guard to send Lin Chujiu back to her room to rest. Then, he went to the study room.

*

In the study room, when Liu Bai and Su Cha heard footsteps, they busily get up to pay respect.

Su Cha had a dignified face when he handed the letter to Xiao Tianyao: “w.a.n.gye, this is the news from the front line, Eminent Xu died. The northern army pushed us hard, our army was defeated.”

Xiao Tianyao’s facial expression didn’t change. He just took the letter. While walking, he quickly took a glance and his eyebrow slightly frowned.

The letter was sent by the first rank a.s.sa.s.sin, Jing Chi. The details were about the process of the a.s.sa.s.sination of Eminent Xu and his own conclusion.

Jing Chi suspected that the Northern Country used martial G.o.ds.

Under the strong pressure of the Central Empire, all countries have agreed that they will not use martial G.o.d talents to deal with ordinary people. The Northern Country obviously violated this rule.

“If the Northern Country dispatched martial G.o.ds, we will suffer a lot in this battle.” Su Cha looked very worried, the usual joy in his voice vanished, only the dignity remained.

Xiao Tianyao nodded gently and tapped his finger on the table, then asked: “When will the emperor received this news?”

“If they are fast enough, then tomorrow.” The commander in charge suddenly died on the battlefield, and they even lost in the war. The people in the front line will not dare to hide it.

“Prepare for the expedition, the matter in the capital will not be taken care of.” His plan wouldn’t be able to keep in this abrupt change in the front line battle. He doesn’t have time anymore to arrange things one by one in the capital. He could only leave it to Lin Chujiu.

“Mmm.” Su Cha and Liu Bai also have a heavy heart. No one can tell what will happen in this war. Especially now that the Northern Country was using martial G.o.ds. The winning side is now uncertain.

Liu Bai and Su Cha replied and hurriedly left. Xiao Tianyao stayed alone in the study room for a long time, but then, he got up and walked out. His feet seemed to have lost control and stroll all the way to Lin Chujiu’s courtyard.

Looking at the closed door of the courtyard, Xiao Tianyao stepped forward and immediately crossed over the wall. He walked through the gra.s.s in the front yard and came to the front door of Lin Chujiu’s room. But before he could take a step, a shadow guard blocked his way: “w.a.n.gye, w.a.n.gfei said she needed to calm down for a period of time.” Meaning, Lin Chujiu was still reluctant to sleep with him.

After the shadow guard finished his report, he waited for Xiao Tianyao to cut him off. However, Xiao Tianyao didn’t do anything. He just looked at him indifferently and then turned to leave… …
