C22 Questionnaire

Gu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. Forget it, staying here wasn't a big deal. She might as well go out and look around.

As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Mu Zhaoyang, giving Gu Xiaoxiao a fright. Mu Zhaoyang had a serious expression on his face as he peered inside, as if trying to find something. However, he was stopped by Gu Xiao.

"Why would Prince Yi appear in such a remote place? Could it be that there's some sort of magic here?"

Gu Xiaoxiao's meaning was very clear. When she first met King Qi, she already felt that something was wrong. Now that she saw King Yi, she became even more curious.

What kind of magic was on this mountain that could attract half of the power in the capital?

Mu Zhaoyang looked somewhat innocent. He had just heard that the scenery on the mountain was quite good and it just so happened to be spring. He was just enjoying the beautiful scenery.

However, he did see the Qi King holding onto Gu Xiaoxiao's thigh, unwilling to let go. He thought about it and felt that it would be a bit awkward if he appeared at that time, so he waited at the door until now.

"I heard the sounds of fighting outside and came over to see if you had done anything bad."

Gu Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty. If Mu Zhaoyang found out that the Qi King was unconscious inside, then she would not be able to explain it clearly.

She cast a sideways glance at Mu Zhaoyang and ignored him.

However, Mu Zhaoyang found her appearance very interesting and could not help but tease, "What, are you feeling guilty? "Miss Gu, I advise you to be more honest and not play any tricks against the king. The empress isn't someone you can offend."

Gu Xiaoxiao harrumphed coldly. She had guessed it from Mu Zhaoyang's words. He must have seen what had just happened long ago. He just didn't want to say it out loud.

Mu Zhaoyang did not bring any attendants with him in this desolate countryside. It was unknown what he was planning.

"Since King Yi has already seen it, there's no need to joke around. You know the situation of the Qi King. If he were to get sick, he might not even recognize the empress, much less me. "Besides, as the current prince of the dynasty, what would I dare to do to him?"

Mu Zhaoyang knew that Gu Xiao was an extremely shrewd person. He could tell from how he had stopped the carriage the other day. If she didn't have the slightest bit of scheming, how could the empress suddenly change her attitude towards her?

"Then did you hurt the Qi King?"

Mu Zhaoyang avoided Gu Xiaoxiao as he spoke, wanting to push open the door and enter. Gu Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him. She had tied up the Qi King in her bed. If the empress knew about this scene, she wouldn't have a good ending.

Although the empress had allowed her to treat the Qi King's illness, she still wouldn't be allowed to use force against the king.

"Your Highness, I think it's getting late. It's best for you to leave the mountain early. "The empress has already handed over the responsibility of dealing with the Qi King's illness to me. As your uncle, if you're really worried, you can go down the mountain and find some people from the Qi King's estate to bring him back."

As Gu Xiaoxiao spoke, he calmly stood in front of Mu Zhaoyang, blocking his way to the straw hut. If it were any other prince, they would have long been infuriated. However, Mu Zhaoyang still acted as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Mu Zhaoyang's probing gaze, Gu Xiaoxiao felt a little nervous. She was worried that Mu Zhaoyang would turn around and tell the empress when he saw Prince Qi in the thatched hut.

The Mu Zhaoyang of today was completely different from the Mu Zhaoyang who visited the house of the Marquis day and night. Seeing his sharp gaze, Gu Xiaoxiao's aura lessened.

"Miss Gu, do you know that purposely harming the current Qi King means certain death? Do you not want to live anymore? Do you want to take a walk in the Underworld? "

Mu Zhaoyang clearly saw the way Gu Xiaoxiao had kicked the Qi King. The only reason he had threatened Gu Xiaoxiao was because Gu Xiaoxiao had used a hidden weapon to injure him.

Although he was a prince, he was still a carefree prince and had nothing to do everyday. How could he not watch such an interesting play when he was on the mountain admiring flowers today.

He could also use this opportunity to take revenge for the last incident.

Gu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and thought for a long time. She couldn't figure out how she had offended this little ancestor.

The last time he had visited the house of the Marquis, he had accidentally hurt him. However, he was only a prince, so he shouldn't hold this matter in his heart.

Finally, Gu Xiaoxiao asked in a probing tone.

"Your Highness Duke Yi, aren't you being a little too ill-judged? I merely accidentally injured you that day, and you still dared to use the matter of the Qi King to scare me today."

Mu Zhaoyang could tell that Gu Xiaoxiao was buttoning his hat. Although the person in front of him had guessed correctly what he was thinking, as the distinguished Prince Yi, how could he admit to such a thing?

"Miss Gu, it's better if you don't change the topic. I'm talking to you about the Sui Wang." What you did to King Yi just now was clear to me. If you don't want to admit it, then I'll go tell Esteemed Empress. "You also said that the empress had already left Prince Qi's illness in your hands. Only the empress can decide on this matter."

A scholar could be killed but not humiliated. Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Zhaoyang who was threatening her from time to time. She was about to go crazy with anger.

"Mu Zhaoyang, what is the meaning of this?"

Gu Xiaoxiao did not continue pretending. She finally understood that Mu Zhaoyang was purposely making things difficult for her. No matter what she said, Mu Zhaoyang had no intention of letting her off.

Mu Zhaoyang was also forcing Gu Xiaoxiao to make a move. No matter what, he had lost to Gu Xiaoxiao that day at the Marquis Mansion's Courtyard.

However, he felt that Gu Xiaoxiao had reacted rather quickly. As for her kung fu skills, he felt that Gu Xiaoxiao was holding back.

Today, Mu Zhaoyang wanted to force Gu Xiaoxiao into a corner and have her fight him. That way, he would know the extent of her power.

Mu Zhaoyang feigned disdain as he glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao. "What, do you want to fight me? With your kung fu skills, how could you possibly do anything to me?"

Gu Xiaoxiao was indeed infuriated by Mu Zhaoyang. Without thinking, she threw the steel lock in his direction.

Mu Zhaoyang was prepared. Although he did not see what Gu Xiaoxiao had thrown, he easily dodged it. After all, the steel wire was only half the thickness of a hair. It was reasonable that Mu Zhaoyang did not watch the celebration.

Gu Xiaoxiao was astonished. She hadn't thought that there would be someone who could dodge her steel wire lock. Could it be that her move this time was too obvious?

Just like that, Gu Xiaoxiao was fully focused and started to spar with Mu Zhaoyang.

Mu Zhaoyang had practiced martial arts since he was young. Naturally, his martial arts were not bad. For a time, it was difficult for the two of them to determine the victor.
