C27 Downhill Inn.

After drinking the medicine, the Qi King quietened down and fell asleep on the straw hut's bed. Mu Zhaoyang glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao with a faint smile and said, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability."

Gu Xiaoxiao glared at Mu Zhaoyang and motioned for him to be quiet. It was not easy to get the Qi King to fall asleep. She did not want the Qi King to wake up again.

Mu Zhaoyang said this in order to probe further. Seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao was not answering him, he could only helplessly give up.

"How much longer does the Qi King need to sleep before he wakes up? It's getting late, it's not appropriate for you to stay here. "

Mu Zhaoyang felt an indescribable feeling when he saw Gu Xiaoxiao working hard for the Qi King.

"There's no need for King Yi to worry. Right now, His Highness is delirious, so someone needs to take care of him." If the Yi Dynasty is busy, we can return to the clan first. "

Mu Zhaoyang's lips twitched. This girl must be joking with him. In the capital, who didn't know that he was just an idle prince? Not to mention dealing with the politics of the imperial court, he didn't care about politics at all.

"Where did a idle prince come from?" The reason I said this is because I'm worried that something might go wrong with your reputation. The duke is calling the shots in the imperial court right now, and I'm worried that he'll come find me to punish me. "

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him, deep in thought. What was Mu Zhaoyang thinking? Why was he suddenly so kind?

However, Gu Xiaoxiao was hoping that Mu Zhaoyang would stay. After all, it was already getting late. If someone came along, she would not be able to explain herself.

Of course, no one as powerless as her would be willing to listen to her explanation.

"Then King Yi, stay here. If anything happens outside of that, you can help."

She wasn't polite at all.

On the other side, the Zhang clan had just returned to the residence and went to look for Marquis Yuan.

"Master Hou, not only did nothing happen to that damnable girl and the Qi King, but you've also mixed them up. Duke Yi even helped her speak up, saying that Gu Xiaoxiao had saved his life, and that he should repay her. "

After listening to the Zhang family's description, Marquis Zhen Yuan could not understand what Mu Zhaoyang was thinking. Marquis Yuan knew about his martial arts skills. There weren't many people in the martial arts world who could match him, so where would Gu Xiaoxiao get the chance to save him?

However, Mu Zhaoyang was not such a kind person. Why would he suddenly help Gu Xiaoxiao?

"Your Lordship, do you think King Yi has fallen for that girl, Gu Xiaoxiao? Otherwise, why would he help Gu Xiaoxiao like that in front of so many people?"

Marquis Zhen Yuan shook his head. Mu Zhaoyang was a powerful figure. If the Empress and Mu Zhaoyang were backing Gu Xiaoxiao, it meant that no one in the capital dared to touch her.

Will the house of the Marquis still have a peaceful life in the future?

"Although King Yi is far away from the imperial government, he's still a wise man. How could he possibly fall for a girl like Gu Xiaoxiao, who's never seen a woman before?"

Mrs Zhang thought for a bit and felt that it was true. After all, he was the Sui Wang.

King Yi's power couldn't even be compared to that of the crown prince. He didn't care about the imperial government at all. If he cared about the imperial government, even His Majesty would have to fear him.

How could such a person fall in love with Gu Xiaoxiao?

"Your Lordship, you must find out about this."

Marquis Zhen Yuan wasn't worried about this. Gu Xiaoxiao had already been betrothed to the Qi King by the emperor. No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to snatch away his nephew's woman.

At that time, even if he wasn't afraid of being poked in the spine, the Emperor would absolutely not allow something that would threaten the face of the imperial family to happen.

"Let's talk about this later. I'm afraid Duke Yi has other plans."

Mu Zhaoyang yawned several times in the thatched cottage. Even Gu Xiaoxiao, who was watching from the side, couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I wonder who it is that is so concerned about King Yi."

"Besides those few people from the house of the Marquis, who else would miss me tonight?"

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Zhaoyang. He really understood everything.

At this moment, the Qi King coughed twice and got up from the bed. When he saw Mu Zhaoyang, he was shocked. Mu Zhaoyang rarely entered the palace and he had only met him a few times at banquets.

The meeting with Mu Zhaoyang here had surprised the Qi King.

"Why is Imperial Uncle here?"

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at the Qi King. Did he have a bad eye? Why did he ignore her? Or could it be that Mu Zhaoyang was too elegant, causing Prince Qi to lose his way?

"It was just a coincidence that I met you and Miss Gu. Seeing Miss Gu taking care of you, I was a bit worried, so I stayed behind."

Only then did the Qi King realize that Gu Xiaoxiao was beside him. When he saw Gu Xiaoxiao, he naturally thought of the scene when this woman had humiliated him before.

Now that Mu Zhaoyang was here, it was not appropriate for the Qi King to flare up.

"I didn't expect you to be here too."

Hearing the cold tone of the Qi King, Gu Xiaoxiao was speechless. He had lost a lot of face, but this man was so petty.

"Your Highness, if I'm not here, I'm afraid your poison is still acting up."

The Qi King sized up Gu Xiaoxiao and asked in disbelief, "Just now, it was you and Imperial Uncle who saved me?"

Where was Uncle Huang? It was obvious that she was the only one there.

"More or less, I wonder if His Highness the Prince Qi is feeling better."

"I'm fine now, it's just that when the poison broke out, I had already forgotten what happened."

Gu Xiaoxiao sneered. If he didn't forget, then he would be the one in trouble today.

Mu Zhaoyang laughed dryly as he recalled Gu Xiaoxiao's few kicks. The Qi King scratched his head in embarrassment and asked, "Did I do something rash?"

Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Your Highness Duke of Qi, it's already late, so you should head back to your mansion to rest."

With that, Gu Xiaoxiao led Mu Zhaoyang and Qi Wang out of the thatched cottage. The Qi King looked at the sky. It was indeed late. No matter what, he had to thank Gu Xiaoxiao for saving him today.

"I had already booked a room in the inn at the foot of the mountain." I had already rented a room in the inn at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the clock. It was too late to go back now. Perhaps he might encounter some unforeseen incidents along the way, so she decided to stay at the inn below.

"Then I will have to trouble the Qi King today." With that, Gu Xiaoxiao followed behind him. Mu Zhaoyang also nodded at him.

The Qi King whistled and called for the secret guard, instructing him to go and settle the matter.

Gu Xiaoxiao was ashamed. If she had known that she could summon the Qi King's secret guard with a whistle, she wouldn't have needed to spend so much effort.
