Chapter 543: Chapter 399 Who Will Meet Under Baili Mountain_2

"What’s the matter? Feeling envious?" Borjigin Nian tilted her face towards Yue Xilou, batting her deep eyes, and spoke vivaciously, "If you are envious, then this princess will deign to let you hug me!"

Upon hearing that, Yue Xilou shot a glance at the woman in front of him, who lacked any ladylike restraint, and turned his face away in disgust.

Seeing this, Borjigin Nian immediately took umbrage, placed her hands on her hips, and jumped in front of Yue Xilou, speaking with hostility, "Yue Xilou! What is that expression for? I am stooping to let you embrace me, which is giving you face because I think highly of you. You could just not appreciate it, but to actually dare to disdain this princess!"

"Are you even a woman at all?" Yue Xilou scolded coldly upon hearing this.

"Whether I am a woman or not is beside the point. You’ve seen and touched this body of mine. You said it yourself, you’re going to marry me!" Borjigin Nian spoke arrogantly, chin lifted, with a look that dared him to challenge her. Then she wickedly added, "However, if you insist on being the woman, I can be the man—that’s also fine. If you truly have such a fancy, I can still understand!"

"You!" Yue Xilou, upon hearing this, was so angry that he raised his hand to point at the woman before him!

"Me? What did I say wrong, hm?" Borjigin Nian retorted undaunted, tilting her chin up.

Gu Changsheng was right, Yue Xilou really did have an undertone of romance with her senior brother. Look at him getting all bristled at the mere mention of it!

Clearly, he’s acting like someone who’s had their sore spot stepped on!

"You!" Yue Xilou, gritting his teeth, pointed at her again, but ultimately retracted his hand with a face full of indignation. His colorful brocade clothes flashed, and he suddenly disappeared into the night.

"Hey! Yue Xilou, where are you running off to? You haven’t told me if you want to hug me or not!" Borjigin Nian saw this and, far from willing to let it go, immediately chased after him with her hands flailing.

Hearing the commotion outside, Gu Changsheng shook his head, amused, and was about to discuss their return to the city, when he abruptly hopped out of Zhou Mu’s embrace, asking anxiously, "Evildoer, what are you doing here? Have they discovered that I left the city?"

Zhou Mu nodded slightly in confirmation.

Gu Changsheng’s heart sank immediately. He growled in anger, "Then what do we do? What are the Crown Princes of the Three Kingdoms playing at? I am just a small Medicine Lady, at most just your code writer. Do they need to make such a fuss over me?"

Seeing this, Zhou Mu patted her back consolingly, the worry in his eyes disappearing in a flash.

The Crown Princes of the Three Kingdoms were no ordinary individuals. Although Huo Shuixian was creating distractions, each and every one of them was not easily fooled!

Zhou Mu looked at the irate little woman before him, a touch of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

His little woman was always so dazzling; how could the envoys from the Three Kingdoms ignore her?

Even if they adhered to the principle of ’Better to kill by mistake than let go’, they would not relax their vigilance towards her!

"My love, do you really not trust me? Haven’t I said that by winter, at the latest, I will drive them out of Great Zhou?" Zhou Mu said to the woman before him, speaking at a slower pace.

Gu Changsheng immediately shook her head, "Of course, I trust you, but I’ve received their invitation to attend the plum viewing banquet in Hengtang!"

"With them watching us like hawks, I daren’t leave my foster father and the little bundle in the city to take risks with me!"

Zhou Mu thought for a moment and then nodded, "That’s a good idea. If they stay in Baili Mountain, unless they are resolved to start a war, they would not dare to send troops into the mountain, and I can be at ease as well!"

Gu Changsheng quickly agreed, thinking the same.

In fact, she had longer-term plans. If it actually came to a showdown, she had already thought through her countermeasures for Baili Mountain!

Thinking this, Gu Changsheng shrugged helplessly, "Now it’s a done deal. I’ve disturbed them even before the plum viewing banquet. What do we do now?"

Zhou Mu laughed, tapped her nose, and said slowly, "That’s why I am here, isn’t it?"

Gu Changsheng responded with a sneer, her tone laced with sarcasm, "It’s fine for you to help me teach Li Mufeng and his wife a lesson, but if you and I get caught sneaking out of the city by the envoys of the Three Kingdoms in the dead of night, are you and Huo Shuixian still going to continue the big show?"

"Ha ha!" Zhou Mu laughed heartily, affectionately tapping Gu Changsheng’s forehead while speaking with a smile, "I sense much dissatisfaction in your words!"

"Illusion! That’s your illusion!" Gu Changsheng responded emphatically.

Was she dissatisfied? Really dissatisfied?

He shouldn’t smear her reputation like that!

What she had was clearly the perspective of an objective observer, which was a good thing!

Zhou Mu, unfazed by her response, slowly pulled her into his arms and tenderly said, "But hearing it, I’m quite pleased!"

Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes dramatically within Zhou Mu’s embrace in response.

Keep being narcissistic, then!

Zhou Mu, as if aware of her thoughts, tapped her head gently and said with bright eyes, "Our affair is known to everyone in Liuzhou City. If we didn’t attend to it, it would arouse even more suspicion. This way, I can also protect you openly. I want to see what they can do to you with my protection! With me publicly coming to fetch you to return to the city, my love, have you thought of a good excuse for leaving the city?"

"Don’t forget the tens of thousands of troops stationed outside Liuzhou City, and the Three Border Armies at our doors!" Gu Changsheng interjected with a timely reality check.

"Why are you always so clear-headed, no matter what?" Zhou Mu sighed, shaking his head in resignation.

He could never expect this woman to be moved!

"Don’t worry, just wait for another half a month. Liuzhou City will be back to normal, and I can come forthrightly to take you back to the city. My love, have you thought through the reason for leaving the city?" Zhou Mu asked with a steadfast gaze.
