Chapter 134 She Is an Aspiring Empress

The night falls and the breeze blows.

After washing and bathing, Yan Li, who was dressed in pajamas, leaned on the bedside and read books casually.

The candlelight flickered, and the inner room was quiet.

The girl's eyebrows are delicate and her face is beautiful and refined.

The long and curled eyelashes cover the cold eyes, and the bright white skin becomes even more stunning under the light of the lights.

Yan Li's heart was not in the book, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

Thinking about what Mu Cang is doing at this time, are you happy or nervous about the wedding tomorrow?

When did he meet her and fall in love with her?

The Ninth Prince of the Mu Kingdom, who is worth more than ten thousand people under one person, has 300,000 troops in his hands, has great military achievements, is powerful and noble.

No matter it is the prince or the civil and military officials, no one should be able to show respect to him when they see him?

Noble and glorious, the scenery is outstanding.

Are you really willing to give up everything for one person?

Yan Li sighed, the word "love" is really difficult to understand.

No wonder the ancestors said that it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty.

When she was a child, her father reminded her more than once when she started studying that a king should avoid caring most about love, especially the love between men and women.

You can like, you can pamper, but you can never be infatuated.

If an emperor is too infatuated, he will easily become a foolish king.

Why did she see that Mu Cang's behavior was exactly the same as what her father said was a coward?

Suddenly, a slight knock on the window penetrated my eardrums.

The maid on duty didn't hear it, but Yan Li raised her head and said calmly: "You go to rest first, there is no need to stay here."

"yes."

Yan Li closed the book in his hand, put it aside, then stood up and walked to the back window.

Gently open the window a little, as if admiring the night.

"The wedding is tomorrow... Your Majesty has really decided?" Ming Qi, who had disappeared for several days, stood in the dim place outside the window and said in a deep voice, "The Queen of Jin is about to arrive in the imperial city, which will inevitably involve the secrets of Mu and Jin. Your Majesty will inevitably be involved in the marriage."

Yan Li was silent for a moment: "Tian Shu came to report last night and said that the emperor had sent someone to pay attention to the movements of the Nine Princes' Mansion."

Ming Qi frowned: "The Ninth Prince has too much power, so it's normal for the emperor to be a little afraid."

Yan Li hummed: "The emperor is very thoughtful. Even if he trusts Mu Cang, it is impossible for him not to be at all defensive."

She had frequent contacts with Mu Cang during this period, and she did not shy away from talking to Ming Qi in the teahouse.

Gu Heyu was poisoned in the teahouse, and then Mu Xiuyu personally arrived at Jiang's house to ask for the antidote.

The emperor must know these things, and it is impossible that he has no idea.

"If the emperor is really suspicious of the Ninth Prince." Ming Qi looked at Yan Li, "Your Majesty will not sit idly by."

Yan Li shook his head: "Emperor Mu is a king who takes the overall situation into consideration. Mu is currently facing the eyes of the Jin Kingdom and Northern Xinjiang. Compared with the emperor's fear, the stability of the country is more important."

So even if he had some thoughts about Mu Cang in his heart, Emperor Zhaocheng would not make any move for the time being.

Unless Mu Cang clearly reveals his disobedient ambition.

"I think the Ninth Prince is more suitable to sit on the throne than those princes." Ming Qi muttered in a low voice, and then he was ready to suggest, "Your Majesty, why don't we simply help him ascend the throne and become the emperor?"

Yan Li looked at him strangely: "What are you planning?"

Ming Qi touched his nose: "This is my sincere suggestion, from the bottom of my heart."

"Mucang has no idea about the throne." Yan Li leaned against the window and said in a casual tone, "Besides, this is another country's internal affairs and has nothing to do with us. Don't make bad ideas."

Ming Qi sighed.

He just felt that the marriage between Mu Cang and Yan Li was not suitable at all.

If Mu Cang can really become the emperor, he will be indispensable in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard in the future, so His Majesty will naturally have nothing to do with him anymore.

What's more, once he ascends the throne as emperor, Mu Cang will have to stay in Mu country for the rest of his life and will not be able to go anywhere. His Majesty will return to the southern country sooner or later, and we will never have contact with each other until death.

Isn’t this marriage just in name only?

"If you have nothing to do, go back and rest early." Yan Li stretched out her hand to close the window, "I have something to worry about with Mu Cang."

Ming Qi stretched out his hand to stop him, his expression a little solemn: "The ninth prince of the Mu Kingdom is a very outstanding man, does your majesty like him?"

Yan Li was stunned. Do you like it?

She thought about it seriously: "It feels pretty good, but not to the level you said."

Ming Qi frowned: "I have a bad feeling."

Yan Li raised her eyebrows and looked at him without saying a word.

"Your Majesty had better get out of here in time." Ming Qi advised sternly, "The love between a man and a woman is the most hurtful and should not be touched lightly, especially since Your Majesty still shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country, and he should not focus on the love between his children. "

The most important thing is that Mu Cang has a special identity and is so powerful.

If you don't get involved with him clearly, I'm afraid it will lead to unimaginable consequences. m.

"You worry too much." Yan Li closed the window calmly and stopped talking to him. "Go back and rest early. Don't think too much about anything else."

Don't say that she doesn't want to be involved in the relationship between men and women.

Even if you really like someone, you will always remain rational and distinguish between family, country, community and personal feelings.

Letting emotions dominate reason is definitely not the behavior of a qualified emperor.

Ming Qi left.

Yan Li walked back to the inner room, slowly lay down on the bed, and quietly stared at the hanging soft smoke bed curtains.

Love between children?

Ming Qi is really worried.

She is an ambitious empress. Even if she is betrayed by someone she trusts and has a setback, she will not doubt her ability.

Her responsibility is the country and the people of the South.

She wants to be a wise and unparalleled empress and create a prosperous era for the South.

Let the South become the overlord of the Nine Provinces and let her be remembered forever.

Instead of being immersed in the corrupting love and affection and losing her will and self.

Yan Li closed her eyes gently and thought so in her heart.

Until a subtle sound came again.

Yan Li opened her eyes, turned her head to look in the direction of the rear window, and frowned unconsciously.

The window was quietly opened, and a thin man in black jumped in.

Yan Li just looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Until the man closed the window and turned around.

The handsome and noble face was reflected in the light without any concealment, like a flawless treasure carefully crafted by God, perfect and impeccable.

Yan Li couldn't help but sighed, with a teasing tone: "When did the Ninth Prince learn to break into a woman's boudoir at night?"

The person who came was Mu Cang.

The night clothes took away some of the coldness and pressure, and he looked thin and agile. His slender and perfect body was fully revealed under the fitted night clothes.

Walking into the inner room, Mu Cang looked at Yan Li lying on the bed in his pajamas, and pursed his lips: "Did someone come here just now?"

Yan Li hummed, his face was normal, and it was obvious that he was not surprised that Mu Cang knew.

Mu Cang said calmly: "It was a man."
