"I'm sorry if I was presumptuous, but .. how old is Wangye?" huang Mingxiang asked as he continued to refine Xiao Muqing's new bandage ties.
"Twenty-eight years." Xiao Muqing replied as he could.
Huang Mingxiang who heard this nodded in understanding, then returned preoccupied with his own thoughts.
Alright .. means he and Xiao Muqing are eleven years different, quite a distance away. Currently seventeen years old, Xiao Muqing was arguably too old for him.
"You know why this marriage decree came down?" xiao Muqing asked, his eyes looking at Huang Mingxiang properly for the first time.
Huang Mingxiang raised his head, staring at Xiao Muqing's cold, handsome face. "Because of the sister-"
"Not that," Xiao Muqing interrupted.
"This is all Huanghou's plan. He does not want you to enter the Harem, because once you enter, his position will be threatened. Previously you were Junzhu, Huangtaihou's beloved nephew, if you enter the Harem, then the strong is already Huangtaihou's strength. You will also easily get rid of all the enemies with your background, this makes Huanghou not want you to enter the Harem Emperor. Knowing the rottenness of your brother's heart, he secretly took advantage of this. Throwing you here, with the intention of dampening your light." Xiao Muqing gave a long explanation, leaving Huang Mingxiang stunned. This was the first longest sentence Xiao Muqing had heard, and ... Where did Xiao Muqing know this information from? Hasn't he shut himself off from the outside for a long time?
As if knowing what Huang Mingxiang was thinking, Xiao Muqing indifferently chimed back in. "My eyes and ears are scattered in this Empire."
Huang Mingxiang bowed slightly, then smiled faintly. Finished tying the last tie, he moved to clear the medicine box as he said, "Mingxiang did not assume being sent here would dim the light of Mingxiang."
"What do you expect from Xiao Wangfu?" xiao Muqing asked in essence, he secretly felt curious. Huang Mingxiang treated her very attentively, as if they were married without coercion. Huang Mingxiang could also escape the murderous dagger that terrorized his Wangfu. This made Xiao Muqing curiously inquisitive.
"I just want to be a great couple with you," replied Huang Mingxiang, he did not joke with her words.
Xiao Muqing frowned. "You crazy?"
"Does Mingxiang look crazy?" reply Huang Mingxiang, looking at Xiao Muqing seriously.
"What can you expect from a disabled Wangye?" xiao Muqing said, then closed his eyes indifferently.
"There must be a way to heal," Huang Mingxiang replied.
"Tabib said this is a permanent cripple" Xiao Muqing replied.
"Then I say it'll heal, it'll heal." Huang Mingxiang was unwilling to lose, the two of them were as stubborn. The difference is that one has long been swallowed by despair, and the other is still burning with enthusiasm.
"What makes you insist? Shouldn't you feel hopeless like the people around you are crying about this marriage? Huangtaihou does not agree that you are married to Benwang, your father is even sick because he does not want to accept the reality. It's like being married to Benwang is a big apocalypse for you." Xiao Muqing reopened his eyes, staring at Huang Mingxiang who was still sitting beside him.
"Wangye, do you want to constantly receive condescending gazes from them? Insults, insults, baseless scorn, you want to continue to accept that? Don't you feel angry? Don't you want to pay back what they've done? Just because you are paralyzed, they immediately assume you are one eye without remembering your service to fight in the battlefield. And I, vilified by the accusation of an act I did not commit at all. My good name is ruined and dirty because of their vile deeds. What they've done is unfair, I can't take it."
The glint of emotion from Huang Mingxiang's eyes could be clearly seen by Xiao Muqing, the man closed his eyes again. "What's the advantage if Benwang participates in your plan?"
"What if Benwang isn't ready?" xiao Muqing countered, reopened his eyes again and stared coldly at Huang Mingxiang.
Huang Mingxiang nodded. "Then I will try to take Wangye's trust. I'll be a good wife to you, I promise."
Xiao Muqing smiled coldly. "You love me?"
"Right now certainly not, but I will try to cultivate my sincere love for Wangye. Wangye, if you give me one chance, I will try. I promise I'll pay the people who hurt you and me together." Huang Mingxiang sat up straight facing Xiao Muqing, he was really serious, not joking.
Right now his weapon was only Xiao Muqing, he should be able to take advantage of this. Perhaps the current Xiao Muqing was looked over one eye by the nobles, but if the moon was because of Xiao Muqing, then he would have no place to endure. Rather than being punished in Prison, being Xiao Muqing's wife was not a bad path.
He did not underestimate Xiao Muqing at all, Huang Mingxiang was convinced that Xiao Muqing was a precious treasure. The man simply drowned with his sadness and no one pulled him out of the sea of grief, hence Huang Mingxiang was present. It was him who would pull Xiao Muqing out of the sea of grief.
"How, Wangye?" huang Mingxiang asked after seeing Xiao Muqing stay silent for too long.
Xiao Muqing threw away his gaze from Huang Mingxiang, then tried to take a lying position and pull out the blanket, then turned his back to Huang Mingxiang while saying, "You can go to sleep."
Huang Mingxiang frowned. "But Wangye, how about-"
"It can start tomorrow morning," Xiao Muqing replied.
Huang Mingxiang who heard this was stunned, then smiled. Although Xiao Muqing's nature and behavior were annoying, it was quite promising.
Huang Mingxiang descended from Xiao Muqing's bed, then placed the medicine box quietly on the table.
Huang Mingxiang fixed Xiao Muqing's sleeping mosquito net, after which bowed towards her husband and said, "Then, Mingxiang resigned himself. Good night, your honor. Tomorrow morning Mingxiang will return to serve you."
After answering a short answer from Xiao Muqing, Huang Mingxiang quickly turned around and walked towards the exit. When he was about to open the door, Huang Mingxiang suddenly recalled the incident of the attempted murder earlier.
Huang Mingxiang helped in front of the door, making Xiao Muqing who realized this immediately say, "Go back, everything is already clean. Benwang guarantee."
"But, Wangye-"
"Snakes." One word, yet it sparked Huang Mingxiang's bold sense. The woman was not happy if she was taken lightly, so Huang Mingxiang easily gathered his courage to prove Xiao Muqing that the man was wrong.
"Alright, Mingxiang will be back. One more thing, Mingxiang is not a coward." Furthermore, Huang Mingxiang quickly opened the door and walked out. Su Mama who saw Huang Mingxiang coming out of Xiao Muqing's room finely smiled widely and was relieved, then ran towards Huang Mingxiang.
"Vinochen ...."
"Come, come back, Su Mama."
