Chapter 1117: Chapter 1114_1

Just as Shangguan Xuanyi’s lips touched Xiao’er’s, there was a knock at the door.

"Brother Shangguan, someone’s knocking!" Xiao’er hastily pushed him away.

With a dark expression, Shangguan Xuanyi opened the door. If that idiot Shangguan Xuanhao was at the door again, he would send him to the southern battlefield to experience the flicker of swords and the shadow of death!

He wondered if the interruption would keep happening at such moments!

Seeing that Shangguan Xuanyi’s face was even fouler than a spoiled egg, Yang Liu was taken aback for a moment. But quickly understood that she must have disturbed his master’s good time.

"What is it?" Shangguan Xuanyi’s tone was definitely not pleasant.

Yang Liu hurriedly said, "The Prince An’s son has requested to see you."

"Not seeing! Tell anyone who comes to see this king that this king is not available!"

"Yes, your servant will reply." Yang Liu, not daring to object, walked away immediately.

"Wait, Yang Liu, tell the prince’s son that Brother Shangguan will be there soon."

Yang Liu turned to look at Shangguan Xuanyi and, seeing that he did not object, agreed and left.

Xiao’er walked up to Shangguan Xuanyi and nudged him, "Go! It’s wartime between the two countries. There could be an emergency. Don’t delay."

Xiao’er certainly didn’t want a chance to be branded a seductress or a vixen who brings disaster upon her country!

...

Shangguan Xuanyi walked into the flower hall with a sullen face and shot Shangguan Ruixi a cold look, "What is it?"

Seeing Shangguan Xuanyi in such a bad mood, Shangguan Ruixi’s first thought was, did the accounting room fail to settle that banquet bill from last time?

That’s not right. He saw the accountant returning to the mansion yesterday morning and asked where he had been. The accountant clearly said he had gone to settle accounts at the Four Seasons Restaurant!

Noticing that Shangguan Ruixi was just staring at him without talking, Shangguan Xuanyi said impatiently, "Had enough of staring? If you don’t have anything important to say, then get lost! Or else I’ll have to throw you out myself!"

After hearing this, Shangguan Ruixi remembered that Shangguan Xuanhao had a bruise on his forehead in the morning. When asked why, he found out that he was thrown out by an angry Shangguan Xuanyi for interrupting his intimate moment with Xiao’er and injured his head on the way out.

Shangguan Ruixi had laughed at him back then, thinking he deserved it. His wife had just given birth, and their long-awaited private time was interrupted by him. Shangguan Xuanyi not throwing him out of the Imperial City was already quite a show of temperance.

Could it be that he too had interrupted something and was now on the receiving end of his frowning face?

With this thought, Shangguan Ruixi felt a bit embarrassed. He rushed to ask, "Gong Zixuan is not dead, is he?"

"Hmm."

So, he’s really not dead? Shangguan Ruixi was taken aback. "How did you know? Why didn’t you tell me?"

If Shangguan Xuanyi had told him, he would have been more cautious.

That way the first batch of medicinal herbs wouldn’t have been lost! 100,000 taels! That’s enough in itself to raise another son!

"Didn’t I tell you the truth about Zhuan’er’s death? I thought you would be able to figure it out! Who knew you were so slow! Such a simple matter, and you’re only considering it now!"

If he had to explain everything to everyone, how tiresome it would be!

His own darling was much smarter! She could understand many things without him saying anything!

Indeed, you don’t fear the competitor who is like a god but the comrade who is like a pig, the people from the future really don’t lie!

Shangguan Ruixi: "....."

Never mind, this guy has always had a sharp tongue, he wouldn’t bother to argue with him. Moreover, he was the one who guessed that Gong Zixuan was still alive and didn’t say anything. He felt a bit guilty!

Is he really that slow?

But thankfully, he had married a smart wife!

"Is your guess just a speculation, or do you have definitive evidence?" Shangguan Ruixi continued to ask without shame.

The scholar said that it’s okay to be slow, as long as you’re not too ashamed to ask!

"He’s the one who saved Princess Ling’er."

"How do you know it was him who saved Princess Ling’er? The people from the Duke of Zhen’s mansion still haven’t figured out who saved her."

"Because I had arranged for someone to keep an eye on Princess Ling’er’s every move. Gong Zixuan used a human skin mask that I previously gave him to carry out the rescue."

"Why were you surveilling Princess Ling’er?" That’s not reasonable! Why would he have someone watch Princess Ling’er’s every single move for no reason?

Princess Ling’er is not his princess, even if she is stolen away, it’s not his business, right?

"Because Princess Ling’er was able to persuade Shangguan Wanru, I felt that there was something suspicious about this and decided to have someone monitor Princess Ling’er’s every move."

Damn, just because of such a small matter, Princess Ling’er has already aroused Shangguan Xuanyi’s suspicion, and he sent people to secretly monitor her?

This man is too cautious! No wonder he said he’s stupid!

At this moment, Shangguan Ruixi is incredibly relieved that he is this man’s brother and not his enemy. Otherwise, it would be too terrifying!

He admits that he doesn’t have as many tricks up his sleeve, there’s no way he could compete with this on his own!

"But this doesn’t make sense, why would Gong Zixuan save Princess Ling’er?" There are still things that Gong Zixuan doesn’t understand!

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Shangguan Ruixi as if he were an idiot after hearing this, this guy doesn’t think when he encounters a problem, does he?

Isn’t it obvious why Gong Zixuan would save Princess Ling’er?!

If the child in Princess Ling’er’s belly wasn’t his, would he go and save someone else’s bastard child if he had nothing to do?

Looking at Shangguan Xuanyi’s face, Shangguan Ruixi suddenly had a revelation, his face filled with disbelief: "Could it be that the child in Princess Ling’er’s belly is Gong Zixuan’s?"

"Hmm." Not too stupid! Just slow!

"Could it be that the child in Princess Ling’er’s belly is the same as Zhuan’er?" All are tools used by Gong Zixuan!

"Hmm." The fool can also be taught!

"Damn, this Gong Zixuan is really not human!" Shangguan Ruixi really wanted to abandon his worldly, peerless image and curse out loud!

"Now, do you understand everything? If not, can you leave?"

"Wait, there’s more! Since you knew Gong Zixuan was the one to rescue Princess Ling’er, why didn’t your people stop him at the time? Why let him go?"

"My people didn’t know it was Gong Zixuan at the time, they wanted to see where he was taking Princess Ling’er. I notified all the people at the pier as soon as I found out about this, they were ordered to conduct a strict search. However, the two of them managed to escape first."

"Damn! Gong Zixuan dares to play around with Wanru, to play around with the women of our Minze Country, I won’t let him go!"

What’s more important is that Shangguan Wanru actually believed him. For him, she actually did something which is not much different from treason! It’s so infuriating!

Thinking of Shangguan Wanru’s stubbornness, Shangguan Ruixi felt angry.

"Okay, then you can deal with him! I will not accompany you any longer!" Shangguan Xuanyi dismissed him without any courtesy.

"And also, don’t come to me unnecessarily after I return home! If there’s anything, wait until I go to the office!"

After saying this, Shangguan Xuanyi went straight back to his room.

Shangguan Ruixi: Is it necessary for him to be so impatient? Doesn’t everyone have a wife who just gave birth?

Shangguan Ruixi felt that Shangguan Xuanyi seemed to give off the aura of a king who will henceforth cease his morning court sessions!

Wait, he’s not a king.

It would be more accurate to say that he loves his beauty more than the country!

That doesn’t seem right either!

Whatever, let him love whoever he wants!

Shangguan Ruixi didn’t bother himself further, he had to go back and question Shangguan Wanru!
