You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 118 Is Xiao Yun possessed by a ghost?

Chu Bai had a stunning appearance, it was difficult to tell whether he was androgynous, and his temperament was rather feminine. At this moment, he had changed into women's clothing, and the wide sleeves made his slightly thick shoulders look very soft.

The waist was made slender and graceful by the exquisite waist belt, and it looked not much thicker than hers.

There is an indescribable elegance in his every gesture.

Apart from the fact that she is taller than ordinary women, there is no sense of incongruity at all.

He had a thin layer of powder on his face, and the makeup was just right. His cool eyes now had a hint of charm. One look at them made people want to fall in love with him unconsciously.

Like a seductive goblin!

No, why are you, a grown man, so beautiful?

"Miss, you seem surprised to see Chu Bai?"

How could she not be surprised?

Chu Bai's voice brought Lin Zhaoyue back to her senses. She looked around vigilantly, and then closed the door like a thief.

"How did you get in? The East Palace is heavily guarded, and I can't get out."

Chu Bai curled his lips and said mysteriously:

"Miss, guess."

Lin Zhaoyue: …

Judging from his attire, it was obvious that he had made a great sacrifice.

As Lin Zhaoyue looked at him, she didn't know how her eyes were fixed on the perfectly shaped peaks of his upper body.

Noticing Lin Zhaoyue's curious look, Chu Bai reached out and took out two white steamed buns and placed them in front of her:

"Miss, do you want to eat?"

Lin Zhaoyue: …

After staring at Chu Bai for a while, Lin Zhaoyue finally became serious:

"How did you know I was in the East Palace?"

If even Chu Bai knew it, then did her father and mother know it too?

Would they worry about her?

As if he had seen through Lin Zhaoyue's thoughts, Chu Bai said:

"People outside don't know that the young lady is in the East Palace."

Lin Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in confusion:

"Then how did you know that?"

Chu Bai's thick eyelashes moved slightly, and then her clear eyes looked straight at her:

"Before I answer your question, please answer my question first."

Lin Zhaoyue nodded:

"go ahead."

"Did you know my identity before?"

Lin Zhaoyue was puzzled and shook her head:

"I don't know. I promised to help you find your origins before, but I'm afraid I can't do that now."

"Then tell me, why did you save me?"

Chu Bai paused and added:

"I want to hear the truth. I don't believe what you said last time."

Is it true?

Lin Zhaoyue looked at Chu Bai for a long while, and finally said:

"You saved me once."

Saved her?

A strange look flashed in Chu Bai's eyes.

When he woke up, he was stuck in the mud and was sold, escaped, caught and sold again.

In that kind of environment, he would have been raised astray, so how could he have saved anyone?

But for some reason, when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but believe it.

"Okay, I believe you."

Lin Zhaoyue had been thinking of finding some reasons to make him believe her, such as when she was a child, she went to a distant relative's house to play, and then she got lost, and he sent her back... Before she could figure out where, she heard Chu Bai say, "I believe you."

She still couldn't react.

Lin Zhaoyue met Chu Bai's eyes. His look was sincere, so sincere that her nose suddenly felt sore.

"You believe me?"

Chu Bai watched her small nose gradually turn red and nodded solemnly:

"Well, I believe you."

Then, he answered Lin Zhaoyue's question:

"My people saw you being captured by Xiao Yan in Wanliu Lane a few days ago, so I knew you were in the East Palace."

"your people?"

Lin Zhaoyue was a little stunned.

She had only been gone for less than two months, and he already had his own power?

Chu Bai looked at Lin Zhaoyue with his clear eyes for a while, and said slowly:

"I am the ninth prince of the Red Swallow Kingdom."

The ninth prince of Chiyan Kingdom?

This answer was unexpected to Lin Zhaoyue, but also reasonable.

No wonder he has such an extraordinary temperament and stunning appearance.

She had only focused on Anguo before, but never thought that he was a prince from another country who had drifted to Anguo.

But, this identity should be top secret, and he told her like this?

Almost all of Lin Zhaoyue's thoughts were expressed on her face, and Chu Bai could easily guess what she was thinking.

"Lin Zhaoyue, I believe in you and am willing to hand my lifeline over to you..."

……

Xiao Yan sent Li Rongqing away and said to the wind beside him:

"Let's meet the Minister of War at Qianwei Tower tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Have you found out who was behind last night's incident?"

“Not yet. The man who bribed the eight men to release the suspect was a gambler. Because he owed money, he sold his wife and daughter. He was chased by debtors all day long and was killed last night.

That person has a bad character and no friends. Even the shops that know him won't do business with him. It will take some time to find useful clues.

Before the study was burned last night, it was obvious that someone had rummaged through it, especially the secret room."

So you are here for the East Border Defense Map?

They really won't give up.

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Xiao Yun's dark eyes.

Feng Xin also understood their purpose and said thankfully:

"Fortunately, your highness's most important secrets are not kept in the East Palace."

Otherwise he couldn't imagine how many secrets would be burned and how much trouble would be caused by the fire last night.

"But what a pity! All the evidence related to the eldest prince's spring hunt was burned."

Even Lin Zhaoyue’s share was gone.

He was going to use those to blackmail her.

Xiao Yan didn't know whether this was a coincidence or Lin Zhaoyue was involved again.

His eyes were slightly cold, and the bottom of his dark eyes seemed to be gathering a storm. He said in a cold voice:

"Is the medicine ready?"

Feng Xin nodded:

"Mr. Li has already made it. It's an enhanced version."

Feng Xin said with some hesitation:

"I'm afraid if Miss Lin Er knew that we tortured Miss Qing, she would... "

Feng Xin considered his words for a while before speaking:

"Have a grudge."

Xiao Yan frowned:

"Don't let her know about this. Leave Qingzhu alive. If she doesn't tell anyone, all the tricks used to deal with the criminals will be used on her."

The East Border Defense Map contains detailed information on military camps, granaries, cities, fortresses, defense lines, and other strategic points. If someone gets hold of it, an enemy country will lead a large army to break through the East Border defense line tomorrow...

The deployment map is confidential and top secret.

Although Qingzhu was from the previous dynasty, Xiao Yun could understand that they wanted to restore their country.

However, it was not only the remnants of the previous dynasty who stole the defense map.

At least we have reached cooperation with an enemy country.

He will eradicate any force that wants to disrupt the stability of Anguo, no matter what kind of force it is, without any mercy.

"Go!"

Xiao Wei waved his hand.

After Feng Xin took the order and left, Xiao Yun rubbed his aching brows and walked towards the bedroom.

When he arrived, Lin Zhaoyue was lying on the beauty chair outside the bedroom, reading a book.

The sunlight sprinkled gently, making her face as crystal clear as jade and her figure as delicate and graceful.

The light green belt outlines her graceful figure, her waist is as slender as a willow and can be held in one hand.

The earlobes become more crystal clear and pink, making people want to take a bite.

Her plump red lips were slightly parted, revealing her white teeth, and she occasionally pursed them.

Xiao Yan tasted those lips; they were soft, sweet and fragrant.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly and Xiao Yan walked over.

I don't know what she was looking at. She was so absorbed in it that she didn't even notice him arriving.

When Xiao Yan approached, he realized that she was holding the book upside down.

Lin Zhaoyue was thinking about what Chu Bai had just said when she suddenly smelled a strong scent of ambergris. Before she could react, her body suddenly flew into the air and lost weight.

She was startled.

"Xiao Yan, are you a ghost? There is no sound when you walk."

"You're just thinking too much about things."

As he spoke, Xiao Yun lowered his eyes to look at her and said:

"What were you thinking about just now?"

Of course she couldn't tell anyone what had just happened.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at him fiercely and said:

"When will you die?"

Xiao Yan chuckled, not angry:

"Well, so have you come up with anything?"

This madman!

Lin Zhaoyue didn't want to talk to him and struggled:

"Xiao Yan, put me down. I'm not disabled. I have legs and can walk by myself."

He seemed to be in a good mood at the moment. No matter what she said, he was not angry. He glanced at her legs in a good mood and said softly:

"Not disabled, very powerful."

Lin Zhaoyue: …

Is he possessed by a ghost?

As soon as Xiao Yun carried Lin Zhaoyue into the room, he keenly smelled a scent in the air that did not belong to her.

"Has anyone been here?"
