When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

To his surprise, as soon as he entered the door, he saw someone who shouldn't be here - the Ninth Prince Mu Cang.

Yan Li paused slightly, looked at the tall man standing in front of the window, and slowly closed the door: "When did the prince come?"

"Before a cup of tea." Mu Cang looked back at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, "If you don't sleep at night, are you going to be a thief?"

Yan Li walked to the brocade couch and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea: "I have nothing to do. I went to Prince Yu's Mansion for a walk." Tianlai Novel Network

Mu Cang hummed, probably guessing her purpose of going to Prince Yu's Mansion.

"Why did the prince come to my small courtyard so late?" Yan Li looked up at him, with a bit of ridicule in her tone, "Isn't it just because of lovesickness?"

Mu Cang remembered the purpose of coming here, pursed her thin lips slightly, cast his deep eyes on her face, and said as if to confirm: "Our wedding should be held as scheduled, right?"

Yan Li was slightly surprised. The Ninth Prince stayed up at night and sneaked into her house just to talk about this?

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Yan Li said calmly: "Did the prince hear something?"

Mu Cang came over and sat down next to her. His eyelids drooped slightly. He took out a tea cup and poured himself a cup of tea. His long eyelashes covered his eyes with thoughts: "Your henchmen have already found this place."

These words were not a question, but a determined tone.

Not only did he know that her men had found this place, he might even have known that her men wanted to prevent her from getting married, so he came to ask in person.

Yan Li's eyebrows deepened slightly, and she glanced at him quietly: "Does the prince keep an eye on my small courtyard all the time?"

"no."

"The four shadow guards around me are always elusive. Their skills are incredible, but they are their opponents." Yan Li smiled lightly, "The prince learned the news about them so quickly, which really surprised me. ”

Mu Cang put his fingers on the table and moved slightly. He was silent for a while and then said: "The king is also surrounded by shadow guards."

"Although the shadow guards come from the same sect, the shadow guards of the Mu Kingdom and the shadow guards of the South Kingdom should not be the same family." Yan Liruo thought, "Unless the shadow guard leaders around the prince are better, they cannot be defeated in such a short period of time. I learned about Tianshu’s conversation with me.”

Trainers are very sensitive to the scent of similar people, so Yanli is not surprised that the shadow guards around Mu Cang know that Tianshu and the others are coming, but if they hear the conversation between Tianshu and her without being noticed, then The only explanation is that the shadow guard around Mu Cang is better.

But Yan Li knew in her heart that Tianshu Four was a highly talented person among the Shadow Guards and had received all-round training. There were no masters in the world who were better than Tianshu Four—even those who had been trained rigorously in other countries. The shadow guard almost does not exist.

At this moment, Yan Li already had some doubts about Mu Cangsheng.

Thinking of his special obsession with herself and his understanding of the shadow guards around her, Yan Li had to wonder whether Mu Cang had been to the South Country before, or even stayed in the South Country for a short period of time?

If he has been there, what is his identity in Nanguo? Why hadn't she seen him?

Disguise? Hidden plot?

"What are you thinking about?" A low and clear voice rang in his ears, recalling Yan Li's thoughts.

After coming back to her senses, Yan Li counted the days in her mind. It was less than ten days before her wedding to Mu Cang.

Maybe she should find out some truth before getting married.

"Mu Cang." Yan Li leaned on the brocade couch, with a somewhat lazy look on her face. This made her expression more calm and calm, and her natural kingly demeanor was naturally revealed, "Have you been to the Southern Kingdom?"

It has always been her style to clarify when in doubt, and she doesn't like to keep doubts in her heart.

Mu Cang was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look at her: "Why do you ask?"

"No reason, just answer my questions." Yan Li said calmly, "You can hide it from me, but I will consider whether to continue this marriage."

When Mu Cang heard this, he pursed his thin lips and said, "The emperor granted me the marriage, but now that things have happened, you have no reason to break off the engagement."

Yan Li raised her lips: "You should know that if I really want to break off the engagement, I don't need a reason at all."

Mu Cang clenched the teacup tightly and looked at her without saying a word, his eyes as dark as a cold pool, making it impossible to see the whole thing at a glance.

"The secrets of Tianshu Four are clearer than mine. Rather than saying that the shadow guards around you have learned of their arrival early, I prefer to believe that you have mastered their whereabouts." Yan Li's lips curled up with a hint of curvature. , the smile did not reach his eyes, "But the person who knows the whereabouts of the shadow guards... In addition to the great teacher who trains the shadow guards, I can't think of anyone else who can do this."

Only the mysterious and unpredictable Shadow Pavilion Grand Master can hide it from her eyes and ears... because the Shadow Guards always hide in the dark, and will only show up when their master is in danger or is summoned, and the Shadow Pavilion Grand Master is even more so. He is only responsible for the training of shadow guards and rarely appears in front of the public.

Although Yan Ligen could not associate the Ninth Prince, the God of War of the Mu Kingdom, and the Grand Master of the Shadow Pavilion of the South Kingdom together, because these were things that could not happen, but other than that, she could not think of anything else.

Mu Cang tightened his grip on the tea cup.

"Assuming that you are the chief instructor of the Shadow Pavilion of the Southern Kingdom, then new questions arise. The Northern Frontier is ambitious and has been invading the Mu Kingdom for many years. You have led troops to fight against the Northern Frontier army at the border. You cannot stay in the Southern Kingdom for a long time." Yan Li picked up the teacup, but did not rush to drink it. Instead, he pondered for a moment, "Also, the poison in your body makes me feel strange. I hope to get an answer."

Mu Cang lowered his eyes and stared at the tea in the cup. His noble and handsome eyebrows were indifferent like snow, and his expression was a bit unfathomable, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.

Yan Li waited very patiently and did not urge her.

Mu Cang's reaction at this time actually told her that he had a secret in his heart, but he was still thinking about how to speak, or how to continue to conceal it.

What kind of reason should he make up to fool her in front of her.

The room was silent for a long time.

Mu Cang let go of the teacup in his hand, his eyebrows softened little by little, and his low voice seemed to be stained with a hint of helplessness: "The huge Mu Kingdom, plus the northern border, has not dared to threaten the king for several years."

Yan Li nodded slowly: "Indeed. But there are always exceptions."

"Well, I know." Mu Cang sighed, "So I have to tell you the truth?"

Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"

Mu Cang's mood was a little complicated. On the one hand, he knew that she was smart and sharp, and it was impossible to hide it from her. Then he felt that it was not the time to let her know the truth, so he fell silent again.
