Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 538 The person in the painting is not you

Zhao Mu also stood up and sighed, "Alas! This can't be helped. Everyone has things they can't ask for. Murong Fu has been seeking power but can't get it, so it's inevitable that he will do something crazy. But now he only sells out the women around him, and hasn't done anything dirty like killing innocent people. He still has some conscience."

Mei Jian asked at this time: "Master, you are now the ruler of a country, and you have the mistresses accompanying us. Is there anything that you cannot ask for?"

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Of course. Not to mention me, even Master's wife and Master's uncle are the same. Master's wife has been seeking all the love of Master all her life. But Master gave his love to others. And the person Master wanted back then was Junior Master's uncle, not Master's wife. Master wanted it but couldn't get it, so he got the jade statue in the Langhuan blessed land. As for Master's uncle, ah~!"

Zhu Jian asked, "What about the Lord?"

Zhao Mu replied: "What Master Uncle wants in this life is to compete with Master's Wife. But in the end, this competition is in vain. Alas~!"

Ju Jian said with a smile: "I don't think so. At least I am very satisfied. I can always be by the master's side, and I can also be with my three sisters. I have thought about it before. The four of us sisters have never been separated since we were born. What if we get married and live in different places? Now the four of us sisters share a husband and accompany each other day and night. This is really satisfactory."

Zhao Mu laughed and said, "Alas! But how many people in this world are happy and content?"

Zhu Jian asked at this time: "Master, aren't you satisfied? Now you are in a high position and have great power. Although you are nominally the ruler, you are much more powerful than the emperors of the Western Regions. And there are so many of us accompanying you, is it still unattainable?"

Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Of course. Even so, I can't get it even if I ask for it."

Ju Jian asked, "Master, what has he not obtained yet that he is not satisfied with? Is he thinking about the dragon throne in Bianjing City?"

Zhao Mu waved his hands and said, "Alas! Don't talk nonsense. What I want is a life of freedom and ease. I had expected that His Majesty would give me Lingzhou City as a reward. With Lingzhou City's strategic location on the Silk Road, I could make more money and treasures here so that everyone could enjoy the happiness of the world. But His Majesty threw the mess of the two states to me. How can I be free and at ease?"

Zhao Mu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Forget it! Let's enjoy ourselves while we can. Well, you guys should go back and rest first. I'm going to Wang Yuyan's place today. By the way, she's been here for so long, and I still don't know where Wang Yuyan and A-Bi live."

Ju Jian said, "Ms. Wang is now living in the North Palace, and A-Bi is with her. This was specially arranged by Princess Yinchuan. Although the master has not officially canonized Miss Wang, she has already reserved a position of imperial concubine for her cousin."

Zhao Mu saw the dissatisfaction in Ju Jian's eyes, and he comforted him, "Well, this is Qing Lu's home after all. We who are occupying the magpie's nest shouldn't care too much about this kind of thing."

As he said that, Zhao Mu kissed Ju Jian on the face.

Ju Jian said, "Master, you haven't been close to us for a long time."

Zhao Mu thought for a moment and replied, "Then let's do it tomorrow. Before I go to bed tomorrow night, you will accompany me to take a bath in Huaqing Palace."

After getting Zhao Mu's promise, Ju Jian was very happy and kissed Zhao Mu on the face.

Afterwards, the four sisters returned to the palace to rest, while Zhao Mu went to Wang Yuyan's residence alone.

Wang Yuyan lived in a quiet and peaceful place with a private courtyard. There were pavilions, towers and even a small pond in the courtyard.

This was Li Qinglu's special care for her cousin. The best house in the entire Xixia Palace, besides the Moon Viewing Tower where Zhao Ji lived, was the Qingfeng Pavilion where Li Qinglu lived when she was a princess, and the Lianxin Palace where Wang Yuyan lived now.

The Lotus Heart Hall was originally built by Li Jiqian in order to curry favor with the Liao Kingdom and unite against the Song Dynasty and seek to marry Princess Yicheng of the Liao Kingdom. Because most Liao people believed in Zen Buddhism, it was named after the Lotus Heart Hall.

The previous owner of this place was Huifei Pasha, the favorite concubine of the King of Western Xia, so it was specially renovated and expanded.

As for the Queen's Palace where Mu Wanqing lived, although it had the highest status, the scenery was far inferior to this place. Zhao Mu slowly crossed the corridor bridge and came to the door of Wang Yuyan's room.

When the maids saw Zhao Mu coming, they hurriedly saluted him, but Zhao Mu waved his hand to signal them to leave.

Wang Yuyan came here alone, and the only people she usually kept company with were Ah Bi and Ah Zhu, two familiar people. Among all the women, only Mu Wanqing, who she had met a few times, and her sister Li Qinglu were relatively familiar with her. As for the other women around Zhao Mu, she was disdainful of socializing with them. As a result, she was not very popular on weekdays.

Wang Yuyan in the hall had not yet fallen asleep. She was painting a picture with her brush, while Ah Bi was beside her, commenting on it.

Because there was no palace servant to report it, and Zhao Mu had excellent martial arts skills and walked quietly, for a moment neither of them noticed Zhao Mu came in.

Zhao Mu saw the two of them laughing and joking in front of the drawing table. He asked, "What are you so happy about?"

But when they heard Zhao Mu's sudden voice, they both trembled with fear. Then they both looked at Zhao Mu with horror.

And A-Bi used her body to cover the scroll on the table.

Wang Yuyan was a little overwhelmed and asked, "Why are you here?"

Seeing the two people's reactions like this, Zhao Mu was also a little strange. Now A Bi and Wang Yuyan were like being caught having an affair.

Zhao Mu sneered and said, "My beloved concubine, you are joking. This is my palace. You are my beloved concubine whom I have never visited. How can I not come to your place?"

Wang Yuyan looked at Zhao Mu and said, "I never said I wanted to marry you. It was just my mother's arrangement."

Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. It's enough that Senior Sister agrees. It doesn't matter whether my beloved concubine agrees or not!" Then Zhao Mu's face changed and he asked, "What are you two looking at? Why are you so sneaky? Ah Bi! What are you hiding?"

At this time, A-Bi hurriedly said, "No! It's nothing, it's just a painting that Miss Wang painted when she was free." As she said that, she rolled up the scroll.

Looking at Zhao Mu's eyes, A Bi felt a little guilty.

When Zhao Mu saw her guilty look, he seemed to have guessed something.

Afterwards, Zhao Mu didn't waste any more words with them. He directly used Xiaoyao Yufeng to knock away the scroll that A-Bi was hiding behind her, and then used Beiming Divine Art to suck the scroll over.

The moment Zhao Mu opened it, his guess was confirmed.

The person painted in this painting is not him, but Murong Fu.

When they saw that the scroll was seen by Zhao Mu, A-Bi and Wang Yuyan's hearts were in their throats.

After Zhao Mu looked at her carefully, he sneered and said, "Humph! My concubine is really a virtuous woman. After being promised to me, she has always been thinking about other men."
