General is a Villain

Princess Yun Jiao.

Yi Xiaoqiao wasn't unfamiliar with this title. She was the second female lead in the book, a delicate and unruly wailing ghost. She was originally the imperial concubine of the imperial harem, but was forcefully snatched away by Muyi An …

It was also the later Madam Yun.

Yi Xiaoqiao couldn't help but admit that he was a bit of a b * tch. There was only one person in the world who dared to steal a woman from the emperor. Unfortunately, Muyi was such a bold person.

However, at that time, Mu Yi An was already a prince. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was already an existence that had high merit. Not many years after he forced the emperor to betroth Princess Yun Jiao to him, he was exterminated by the original Emperor.

Of course, from Yi Xiaoqiao's point of view, this was purely his own fault. It was a historical necessity.

Every man who dared to fight with a man over a woman should be drowned in the river of history without a corpse.

And now, this princess Yun Jiao had appeared right in front of her. She was a little too arrogant and she loved to cry.

Yi Xiaoqiao had always been curious as to why the author would let such a girl be the second female lead. Furthermore, the first female lead had almost died in her hands several times. It was only now did he understand.

For a delicate woman, every frown, frown, and expression could move the hearts of others. Princess Yun Jiao was very lucky, because she was such a woman.

Her body was petite and delicate, her eyes were filled with emotion. Even if she was angry, she would be weak to the bone. Her anger made one's heart soften, especially when she was crying. It was enough to melt one's heart.

Now …

She had actually become her master, and Yi Xiaoqiao was certain that there was a maid named Little Qiao by Princess Yun Jiao's side. Now that she had disappeared, it was very likely that she had replaced the original Little Qiao …

Indeed, dog blood was everywhere!

Yi Xiaoqiao predicted with a sense of crisis, Muyi was probably going to go crazy. Perhaps after tonight, she would die without a burial ground.

To think that he himself was so unlucky that he had to take the box lunch even before he had a chance to pour more dog blood on it. How depressing was that!

Therefore, she turned grief into appetite after dinner and ate a lot.

"Miss, are you alright?" The peach was very worried. Ever since Yi Xiaoqiao came to the general's manor, she had never eaten as brazenly as she did today. She suspected that Yi Xiaoqiao wanted to force her to death.

Yi Xiao Qiao held onto Peach Blossom's hand and said earnestly, "Don't talk about peaches. You and I have been together for a few days, so we can be considered fated people. You must live well after I leave. That Princess Yun Jiao is not someone who is easy to mess with. Don't go against her, you must remember."

Peach's face immediately twisted into the shape of a bun. "Miss, you're drunk."

I'm reminding you out of good intentions, Princess Yun Jiao is so beautiful, every frown and smile makes people pity her, and yet she also makes people feel that she's pure and harmless. You have to know, poisons are usually white, the more colorless and tasteless the poison is, the more poisonous it is. Yi Xiaoqiao reminded him earnestly, as if he was explaining something behind the scenes.

Peach glanced at the door in panic, kneeled down with a thump, and said, "General, please forgive me. Miss drank too much and spoke nonsense."

General?

Mu Yi'an!

Yi Xiaoqiao turned her head stiffly and met the pair of ice-cold eyes. She felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse, cold from head to toe.

As the saying went, no one talked about ghosts during the day, and no one talked about ghosts during the night. It was obvious that regardless of whether one was talking about humans or ghosts, she should not talk about them.

Her mouth was truly broken. Why was she chewing on the root of her tongue when there was nothing to do?!

What should he do? It was too deliberate to explain, but not explaining made it seem like she didn't want to change. This...

With a "dong", Yi Xiaoqiao closed her eyes and lay down on the table.

"Miss!" Peach exclaimed, looking at Mu Yi An in panic.

"Looks like she's really drunk." Mu Yi An teased.

Peach nodded repeatedly. "Yes, the young lady drank a few more cups today."

Mu Yi An coldly smirked, "That's because of your dereliction of duty. You let her drink even though you know she's sick. Go to the study and receive your punishment."

"Yes sir!"

She was the one who wanted to drink the wine, what right did she have to punish the peaches? This must be a sitting duck, this foggy monarch … Wait, General Faint!

He suddenly felt a tightening sensation on his body, followed by a warm embrace. A faintly discernible fragrance entered her nose, and this smell was not unfamiliar to her. She had smelled it before when she was taking care of him.

Through his thin eyelids, his eyeballs were still rolling. His lips flashed with a smile: "Clean up the room and go to the study to receive your punishment. Twenty whips per whip cannot be missed."

As he finished speaking, Mu Yi'an felt the body of the person in his arms stiffen. He was in a good mood as he carried Yi Xiaoqiao into the room.

Yi Xiaoqiao was about to die from depression. She was only drinking wine, yet she received twenty lashes for her peach! Why is this man so ruthless!

More importantly, she would punish someone with a whip for such a small matter. If she were to be found out by Muyi while pretending to be drunk … The consequences were unimaginable.

Yi Xiaoqiao's body became even more rigid.

"Why is this girl's body so hard? Did she drink herself to death?"

Yi Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment. When she felt someone reaching out for her breath, she immediately turned over, feigning drunkenness. She muttered in a low voice, "Don't touch me …"

Mu Yi An raised his eyebrows, thinking that she was clever.

If she heard that she softened, then Mu Yi'an would feel that she was too stupid, too stupid, and would probably directly expose her. Now that he saw how diligently she pretended to be, he naturally wouldn't be able to expose her.

He grabbed her feet, took off his shoes, covered himself with the blanket and left.

When Yi Xiaoqiao heard his footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes a crack. The door was tightly shut, and there was no one in the room. She was slightly relieved.

Fortunately, he did not find out, or else he would be in trouble!

It was also written in the book that as Madam Yun's most favored daughter, now that the princess had arrived, wouldn't it be easy for her to kill her?

Escape... How to escape!

She put on her shoes and ran to the door, carefully opening it a crack.

In the outer room, the table had already been cleaned up, and the peach had also disappeared. Presumably, he had really gone to the study to receive his punishment.

Little Joe felt guilty and murmured, Peaches, I killed you. I'll make it up to you.

With this thought, she ran out of the room in a flash. The large vat that was placed against the wall had been moved away by someone, and the tilted tree outside had also been cut down. Yi Xiaoqiao searched along the wall for a long time.

What crime had she committed that caused her to be played by the heavens?

And there was also that Muyi. It was one thing for him to remove the vat, but was there a need to call someone to chop down the trees? This was to break all of her escape routes!

Just what did she do to offend him to make him hold a grudge!

Inside the study room, the candle flame was dim. A gentle breeze blew, causing the light to flicker.

Mu Yi'an sat under the candle flame with a book in one hand, his expression as indifferent as usual.

Peach was kneeling on the ground with her eyebrows lowered. She was currently reporting something in a low voice, "Yi Xiaoqiao is extremely vigilant. No matter how hard I try to find out or ask, I can't find out where she came from."

Mu Yi An slowly turned the page and remained silent. It was unknown if he was completely engrossed in his work or if he simply didn't hear her words. There wasn't even the slightest fluctuation on his face.

"General, the princess said that she was here to deliver a letter. Do you not believe her?" Peach asked in a low voice.

Mu Yi An finally put down the book, picked up the silver needle at the side, and lightly lit the candle. The candle flame danced in his eyes, slightly shaking: "There is no letter on her body."

"But, Princess …"

"She is not from the General's Estate, but has appeared on the mountain."

The peach was also weird, logically speaking, since she was here to deliver a letter, then she would definitely come to the general's mansion, but she directly passed through Fringe City to return to the mountain peak, why, moreover, if she was really sent by the princess, there was no need to hide it, furthermore, she directly said that she did not know the princess, so on and on, should she pretend … There was something else.

"Is the general suspecting that she will harm you?" Peaches asked.

Mu Yi'an wiped away the silver needles and shook his head slowly, "No, if she had any ill intentions, she wouldn't have saved me."

"Then …"

Mu Yi'an let out a long sigh, "What kind of person do you think she is?"

Peach looked nervously at Mu Yi'an, then lowered his head and said, "Does the general want to hear the truth?"

"Speak."

"Subordinate believes that Miss Yi's thoughts are simple and doesn't seem like those of a profound person. It's just that she has some secrets that she can't reveal, which is why she's hiding them."

Mu Yi An glanced at the peach and remained silent.

"General, Miss Yi …"

"No need for you to plead for her." Mu Yi'an interrupted her: "Go on down, I'll tell you when I get to the bottom of this."

Peach bowed. "Yes."

"Oh right, let me tell her. Your acting is not bad. Her acting can still be practiced. Don't be a waste."
