Chapter 226 Feeding the Gu with Blood

The wedding night was not so charming.

As Mu Cang said, the two of them were like allies fighting side by side, talking about family and national affairs. Their words were calm, lazy and leisurely, and their eyebrows and eyes showed the bearing and courage to control the world.

It was just that when their eyes occasionally moved, they could not help but reveal a little joy and tenderness.

It seemed that even the air and lights at night had a little more tenderness.

The red candle burned little by little, and the clock was deep.

On the wedding bed carefully decorated by the bridesmaids, there were scattered peanuts, longans, red dates, and chestnuts. Mu Cang personally tidied up the red mandarin duck quilt and let Yan Li go to bed.

"We are already married, and living in two different places will make people suspicious." Mu Cang gave her the bed, "You sleep here, I'll sleep in the side hall."

Yan Li nodded: "After an hour, don't forget to ask them for some hot water, I want to take a bath."

Mu Cang was silent, glanced at her calm expression, and nodded slowly: "Yes."

"I know that the prince is a pure man. He has not enjoyed the joy of love at the age of 24." Yan Li curled her lips and smiled lightly, "To be honest, I haven't had it either."

Mu Cang couldn't help but coughed lightly: "I know."

"One hour is already very good for a young man who practices martial arts." Yan Li said, "Especially for the first time, it is inevitable to be a little nervous."

Mu Cang pursed his lips, and he didn't know how to respond subtly.

Although they have never eaten pork, they have seen pigs run.

Being in the royal family, whether men or women, they accept boudoir affairs quite early, most of them start in their teens, but Mu Cang went to the border at the age of fourteen, busy fighting and killing enemies, and had no time for these.

As a princess and later the Queen of the Southern Kingdom, Xihe had received this kind of instruction early on and had read books of this kind, so she naturally knew something about it.

She even needed to break the rule that women should be faithful to one man. She had been taught since she was a child that a king should have three palaces and six courtyards, and should not indulge in so-called love affairs.

But cognition is cognition. After all, she is a person with independent ideas and cannot completely obey the constraints of rules.

In contrast, Mu Cang, a man of seven feet, seemed to be less calm and composed than Xihe in this matter.

Mu Cang walked over, untied her exquisite and complicated wedding dress for her, and gently stroked her hair: "Rest for a while, I'll have someone bring water in half an hour."

"Half an hour?" Yan Li raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

Mu Cang's tone was as steady as a rock: "It's inevitable to be nervous for the first time."

Yan Li laughed: "Okay."

Mu Cang turned and went to the side hall.

Yan Li watched his tall and straight back, and suddenly frowned as she watched.

She still felt that Mu Cang's figure looked very familiar.

Not the familiarity she had seen on the battlefield before, but a kind of... vague feeling of déjà vu.

Mu Cang's figure disappeared behind the partition door, and Yan Li retracted her sight.

Leaning on the head of the bed, she reached out and touched the soft and exquisite red silk quilt on the bed, thinking that this was probably the most special wedding night in the world.

On the wedding night, the bride and groom slept separately, and they were still in a good relationship.

The reason for the separate rooms is even more obvious.

Yan Li was about to pick up the book on the bedside, but suddenly remembered something, paused, and looked up at the partition door.

After a moment, she got up and walked towards the side hall.

"Mu Cang." Yan Li raised her hand to knock on the door, and looked at Mu Cang who was sitting on the couch nonchalantly, "Did you forget something?"

Mu Cang looked up at her and quickly understood what she meant.

After a moment of silence, he stood up and walked over, holding Yan Li's hand and sitting back in front of the couch, and took a book from the desk in front of him.

"Since you want to know, I will keep my promise." Mu Cang's voice was low and pleasant, "What do you want to know?"

"Let's talk about the regent of Beijiang first."

Mu Cang was silent for a moment: "Three years ago, the emperor of Beijiang died suddenly. He didn't have time to make a will before his death. The twelve-year-old prince Chen Zizhan succeeded to the throne."

"I know about this. After the little emperor ascended the throne, the Beijiang army was defeated by you twice in a row, and then it was quiet for a long time." Yan Li frowned, "How did you become the regent of Beijiang?"

Mu Cang said: "Because Chen Zizhan's body was also poisoned."

Yan Li frowned: "Another poison?"

"Chen Zizhan was poisoned by the heart-eating Gu. When it attacks, he is in excruciating pain. It is not something a teenager like him can bear." Mu Cang finished speaking and was silent for a moment. "The Queen Mother has a mother Gu in her body."

Yan Li's expression was solemn, and her eyes fell on his face without blinking: "Are they also mother-child Gu?"

"Yes."

"Mother-child Gu is extremely difficult to raise, and it is impossible for it to spread as you said." Yan Li felt that this matter was weird, "and if you are not careful, you will be attacked."

"It doesn't need to spread." Mu Cang's eyes narrowed slightly, "Just use it on the right people, and it can have a decisive effect."

Yan Li's heart moved slightly, and a clear look flashed across his eyes: "The poison in the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor of Northern Frontier was your work?" m.

"No." Mu Cang denied it at first, and then added, "It was my subordinates."

Yan Li narrowed his eyes: "Then what about the Gu in your body?"

Mu Cang didn't speak.

"You put the Gu on yourself, and what is your purpose?" Yan Li stared at him, "Didn't you say that you were attacked by thieves, and that person died in your hands?"

Mu Cang pursed his thin lips and looked at her silently.

"Why are you looking at me?" Yan Li frowned, "Mu Cang, you'd better tell the truth. I'm not that easy to fool, and I don't like being deceived."

Mu Cang looked at her without saying a word, and after a moment, he slowly said: "The princess's pressure is too strong, and your husband can't resist it."

My husband...

Yan Li's expression flashed, and she looked at him without saying a word.

Mu Cang hesitated slightly: "This is a long story--"

Yan Li narrowed her eyes: "Let's make it short."

Mu Cang hesitated, looked at her calmly for a moment, and finally lowered his eyes and slowly uttered four words: "Feed the Gu with blood."

The voice fell, and the room was silent.
