Chapter 582: Chapter 582: You Know, Your Husband Is Rebellious to the Core!

Zhan Lan was led by Mu Yan into the courtyard.

As they walked, Zhan Lan met Vermilion Bird’s surprised gaze and immediately let go of Mu Yan’s hand.

In her current disguise as a man, holding hands with Mu Yan made them look like two men holding hands.

It was dark, Vermilion Bird surely hadn’t clearly seen her being led by Mu Yan!

Zhan Lan thought to herself: Right, right, Vermilion Bird definitely didn’t recognize her, after all, the Silver-faced Fox’s disguise skills are not so easily seen through.

Pretending not to have seen Vermilion Bird, Zhan Lan walked with her hands behind her back beside Mu Yan.

However, as she passed by Vermilion Bird, he respectfully nodded, "Greetings, Madam."

Zhan Lan’s lip twitched, today’s embarrassments were really too many, one after another.

Thinking her voice was too much like a man’s, she didn’t respond to him and instead quickened her pace into the house.

Vermilion Bird stifled laughter, in his lifetime he could still see the master holding hands with someone more handsome than him, no, Madam.

Zhan Lan continued forward, with Mu Yan’s hand blocking in front of her forehead, "Lan’er, where are you going?"

Zhan Lan looked up and saw the Silver-faced Fox coming out of the house with half a shoulder exposed, and Mu Yan covered her eyes.

"Put on your clothes!"

The Silver-faced Fox casually put on his clothes, praising, "Mr. Mu’s residence has a truly comfortable bathhouse!"

Zhan Lan pushed Mu Yan’s hand away, exclaiming, "You two know each other?"

"No!" Mu Yan and the Silver-faced Fox spoke in unison.

Zhan Lan felt she was in an awkward state today, not better than Princess Anyang.

Mu Yan and the Silver-faced Fox know each other!

They definitely know each other!

Mu Yan explained, "I invited him, tomorrow Princess Anyang might still look for you two, so I had someone bring him here."

The Silver-faced Fox nodded, "Indeed, with your esteemed identities, you must not be exposed, so I won’t be bowing!"

He spoke casually, and Zhan Lan had gotten used to his way of speaking.

"Let’s talk inside!" Zhan Lan walked ahead, with Mu Yan beside her and the Silver-faced Fox following behind.

When the three of them sat down inside, the Silver-faced Fox poured himself a cup of tea as if at home, smiling at Mu Yan, "Your Majesty, do you need me to restore the Empress’s appearance?"

Mu Yan glanced at Zhan Lan and declined, "No need, it’s safer like this."

"Where do you plan to go next?" Mu Yan poured Zhan Lan a glass of water.

Zhan Lan took the blue and white porcelain cup from Mu Yan and drank two sips of warm water, "I wrote a letter to arrange a meeting with Alchemist Qi."

"So you plan to go to Beiyue?" Mu Yan frowned.

Zhan Lan shook her head, "We arranged to meet in Yuzhou, three days from now."

"Yuzhou is at the junction of Dayu, Beiyue, and Eastern Wei, belonging to no nation; the Shadow Sect is there, Your Majesty, what are you going there for?"

Mu Yan looked up at him, and the Silver-faced Fox felt he’d said too much, immediately closing his mouth.

A moment later, the Silver-faced Fox rose, "Anyway, I’ve already sold myself to the Empress, where she goes, I follow!"

Before Mu Yan’s cold gaze swept over, the Silver-faced Fox swiftly exited the room.

Only Zhan Lan and Mu Yan remained inside, and Mu Yan did not pursue the matter of Zhan Lan meeting with Alchemist Qi. Instead, he held Zhan Lan’s hand, "Lan’er, I’m sorry for involving you in this."

Now that he knew his mother was alive, he was determined to protect Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan responded, "With every choice comes a life. There are many who want me dead. You’ve helped me before, and now that these things have happened, even if someone wishes me harm, I am your wife and will certainly share in your burdens."

Mu Yan was deeply moved as he looked into her eyes.

Zhan Lan continued, "Mu Yan, do you know Qingcheng might have someone behind him?"

Mu Yan nodded, "I will definitely find out who is behind Qingcheng."

"Will you reunite with your mother?" Zhan Lan asked.

Mu Yan’s gaze was steadfast, "As long as she’s alive, that’s enough. You know that the bond between us ended long ago. We can’t have a mother-son relationship again."

Zhan Lan countered, "You also heard that your mother calls your name in her dreams."

Mu Yan shook his head, "Some hurts last a lifetime and are impossible to forgive. If she weren’t my mother, I’d have killed her myself."

Zhan Lan looked at Mu Yan’s cold expression, understanding his disappointment with his mother, "Alright, I won’t bring it up again."

Mu Yan pulled Zhan Lan into his arms, "Lan’er, no one is more important than you in this world. We just need to live our lives well. After things are settled, please come back with me to Dayu. Only seeing you safe can I be at ease to do other things."

"Okay." Zhan Lan felt secure in his embrace.

Suddenly, Zhan Lan’s expression turned serious, "By the way, is it time for negotiations?"

"The delegation will arrive in Luyu City tomorrow."

"Do you want to go see?" Zhan Lan sat a little straighter.

"No need; the four of them can complete the task. I’ll accompany you to Yuzhou."

Zhan Lan bounced up from her chair, "Are you sure?"

"I’m sure." Mu Yan pressed her shoulders, making her sit back down.

"What, you don’t want to, or do you want to see that little emperor?" Mu Yan leaned closer, with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"Nonsense, I’m not going to see Xiao Luobai!"

"And you can’t meet Ye Xiuhan either!" Mu Yan’s tone brooked no argument.

"You’re such a jealous person! There’s nothing between me and Ye Xiuhan!" Zhan Lan was speechless, thinking that while the Emperor of Beiyue might have improper thoughts about her, there was no connection with Ye Xiuhan, and Mu Yan was even jealous of that; it was utterly unreasonable!

"No, I don’t trust him." Mu Yan’s expression carried vigilance.

"I’m currently a man, and only you think I’m a woman!" Zhan Lan clicked her tongue.

Mu Yan wrapped his arm around her waist, "Even if you truly became a man, I would only love you."

Zhan Lan gave a sly smile, her hands grabbed Mu Yan’s collar, pulling him closer with a playful grin, "Come on, let’s see if you dare."

Mu Yan stared at her lips, "Lan’er, your courage has really grown, but I quite appreciate you daring to provoke me like this!"

Suddenly, Zhan Lan felt her feet lift off the ground as Mu Yan picked her up and carried her inside.

Seeing the two heading towards the bed, Zhan Lan conceded, "Mu Yan, I’m wrong, I’m wrong!"

Zhan Lan didn’t want to engage in any intimate actions with Mu Yan in this form.

Mu Yan placed her on the bed, leaning down with hands on either side of her, "It’s too late. You know me, the more you tell me not to do something, the more I want to do it!"

Zhan Lan placed her hands on Mu Yan’s shoulders, her cheeks flushed.

Mu Yan lightly tapped Zhan Lan’s forehead with a finger, teasing, "Just kidding, look how scared you were."

Zhan Lan sat up on the bed with a sigh of relief, thinking it would be unbelievable if Mu Yan had any ideas seeing her like this.

Mu Yan helped her up from the bed, smiling, "Do you want to see what I was like as a child?"

Zhan Lan looked up, "Is this the place where you lived as a child?"

Mu Yan shook his head slightly, "No, but some things have been brought here."

He wanted Zhan Lan to understand him more, more than anyone else.
