Xiao Wangye's Beloved Wife

Chapter 93. Keep Biting

Yui held two large bags of warm bakpao, her lips smiling widely. He was happy, because he was finally able to relax and the capital's festive night market.

"The thief! Aiya! A thief!!" The screams of an old woman were heard, making Yui spontaneously turn her head and look for the source of the sound.

Yui ran over to the old woman who had been crying. "Grandmother, which way did the thief go?" ask Yui.

"There! Straight to it! Aiya, miss! The wallet contained a gift from my grandson!" The old grandmother cried, her hands touching Yui's arms still holding two large bags of warm bakpaos.

Yui immediately placed her bakpao on the table of one of the sellers there haphazardly, then said, "Master, I drop this." Then his head turned towards the old grandmother. "Grandmother, you don't have to worry. I'll be back in three minutes."

Yui immediately ran over quickly, her eyes deftly watching the people in the market. As soon as his eyes saw a man running into the narrow alley, he immediately caught up with the man.

Stand in front of the alley, then go up on the roofs of the taverns. Yui's right hand moved agilely to retrieve the dagger stored inside her pocket, while aiming, the man suddenly fell down. Behind him appeared the man in dark purple-colored clothes, his eyes cold.

Yui frowned, then while she was still confused, suddenly the man's eyes were fixed on her. Yui widened her eyes in surprise, in the blink of an eye, the man suddenly stood before her.

"It." The man thrusts the old grandmother's purse into Yui.

Yui hesitantly picked up the wallet, then stared intently at the man. "Who are you?"

The man smiled faintly. "It looks like Miss's martial arts are amazing, I hope we can meet again at a later time."

"I asked. Who ... you?" yui asked, she was annoyed that the man did not answer her question correctly.

The man glanced towards the small lotus-shaped birthmark that was on Yui's neck, there were very few people who knew about the birthmark. "Ah ... daughter of the previous dynasty, huh? It turns out .. you, Xue Yuilean."

Yui widened her eyes, Xue Yuilean. When Yui had not had time to respond, suddenly the man darted away and just disappeared. Yui squeezed the old grandmother's wallet, her eyes staring intently at which direction the man was going.

"Surprise, who is he?" yui said, she was annoyed whenever anyone knew her true background.

Yui quickly turned around and met the old granny, then immediately gave her the wallet. The grandmother thanked him, making Yui smile and nod.

Yui again carried her two large packs of bakpaos, then hurriedly walked towards the confectionery store. As he was about to enter, he immediately bowed deeply when he saw that Xiao Muqing and Huang Mingxiang had already walked out of the tavern, of course Huang Mingxiang was still being pushed by a wheelchair.

"Where have you been, Yui? Me and Gu Sinjie waited for you for a long time!" baili asked Ruyi, as she had to be alone with Gu Sinjie for a very long time. Right now Gu Sinjie was not with them, because the man had suddenly left and had not returned.

Yui bowed. "I'm sorry! Last ... I had to chase down an old grandmother's purse thief." Yui exhaled her breath silently.

Huang Mingxiang smiled. "It's okay, Yui. Come on, let's go back. We enjoy the bakpao you bought together at Xiao Wangfu."

Yui smiled again, Baili Ruyi began to realize with the two large bags of bakpao that Yui bought. "God! That's plenty!" Both eyes of Baili Ruyi sparkled.

I they were heading towards the horse carriage, suddenly Gu Sinjie appeared. "Young." His arrival made them stop walking and stare at Gu Sinjie.

Gu Sinjie blinked both his eyes twice, this was a signal that there was an important message that Xiao Muqing had to convey. Xiao Muqing caught Gu Sinjie's code, then glanced towards Huang Mingxiang who was busy enjoying the fireworks that were still exploding above the sky.

Xiao Muqing shook his head slowly, then glanced at Huang Mingxiang to give Gu Sinjie a code. Gu Sinjie understood, his head nodding. Xiao Muqing did not want to ruin his moment with Huang Mingxiang, as he did not know the important news Gu Sinjie wanted to convey was good or bad.

"Wangye, let's go back." Huang Mingxiang suddenly turned his head towards Xiao Muqing, making the man hurriedly remove his serious facial features. But alas, Huang Mingxiang's eyes were sharp and deft. He noticed the look on his face, but did not ask. Huang Mingxiang was silent, as if seeing nothing.

Xiao Muqing nodded. "Sure, come on." The man pushed back on Huang Mingxiang's wheelchair, and they immediately returned to the carriage. The horse carriage slowly walked away from the sweets shop.

By the time they had arrived at Xiao Wangfu, Xiao Muqing turned her back on her condition. Their clothes returned to normal and the shape and decoration of Xiao Wangfu's carriage also returned to normal.

Xiao Muqing looked at Huang Mingxiang's sleeping face, it seemed that due to the medicinal effects of the healer, he became more easily sleepy and fell asleep. Xiao Muqing was reluctant to wake him up, because now that he could already walk on both feet, he immediately carried Huang Mingxiang down from the horse carriage personally, no longer like he used to.

Yui and Baili Ruyi were a little surprised that suddenly Xiao Muqing carried Huang Mingxiang down from the carriage, they had thought that something had happened to Huang Mingxiang, but had apparently only fallen asleep inside the carriage.

"Put all the sweets that Wangfei bought in the food warehouse" Xiao Muqing said, then walked inside Xiao Wangfu towards his residence.

Xiao Muqing placed Huang Mingxiang carefully on the mattress, then took off the woman's shoes slowly. Xiao Muqing again walked out of the room, Gu Sinjie was already waiting there.

"What's going on?" xiao Muqing asked, his eyes staring coldly at the look on Gu Sinjie's agitated face.

"General Qin was seriously injured while fighting the ambush forces of the Southeast Huan Kingdom. Wangye, I'm afraid that the Palace will use this news to force you to go to the border" Gu Sinjie said, his eyes serious.

Xiao Muqing nodded briefly. "Whether sooner or later, a war is bound to happen. They will never stop biting until the benwang himself who goes down to the battlefield directly. Gu Sinjie ...." Xiao Muqing glanced at Gu Sinjie coldly.

"It seems like there is no other way but to respond to them," Xiao Muqing continued.

Gu Sinjie clenched both his hands tightly. "But you just--!"

"Before their bite force widens, we better respond and drag into the real battle. The war decree may come in a few days, prepare troops to help the border troops. Then ... leave a thousand troops to guard Xiao Wangfei." Both of Xiao Muqing's eyes quietly glanced towards the door of his room, then looked back at Gu Sinjie.

Gu Sinjie nodded, his heart heavy hearing this, yet he could not refute. Gu Sinjie finally bowed. "Good, Wangye. Then ... I say retreat, have a good rest."

After Gu Sinjie left, Xiao Muqing immediately went inside the room. His heartbeat had stopped beating for a while when he saw Huang Mingxiang already sitting on the bed with open eyes and a cold face.

Huang Mingxiang glanced towards Xiao Muqing. "So that war will really happen, huh?"

Xiao Muqing relaxed his heart, then walked towards their bed and sat down beside Huang Mingxiang. "What have you heard?" Tone asked Xiao Muqing coldly.

Huang Mingxiang was not as afraid anymore as he used to be, he immediately looked at Xiao Muqing as coldly. "Everything."

Xiao Muqing nodded briefly, sighed thinly and pulled Huang Mingxiang into his arms. "The decree of war is still an estimate, it is not certain when it will come down."

Huang Mingxiang did not answer much, he simply nodded, then glanced coldly towards the small red rectangular-shaped box that Rong Wangxia had given him. Inside the box contains a dark record and evidence of criminal acts committed by Rong Tagu during his time as Prime Minister. Huang Mingxiang had already secretly opened it when Xiao Muqing was busy conversing with Gu Sinjie outside just now.

Huang Mingxiang looked up to look at Xiao Muqing, then said, "Wangye, can you promise to return safely?"

Xiao Muqing nodded. "Sure, I swear."

Huang Mingxiang smiled faintly. "In that case, I want to propose something to you."
