"Miss, take a look for yourself!" Zhu'er handed the invitation to Ji Wushang. Ji Wushang opened it and saw that it said that Bei Gongminhao was going to marry Gao Fengfen, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, as his heir apparent!
"Ah!" Ji Wushang lost his grip and the post fell to the ground with a slight groan!
"What? Why?" Ji Wushang's lips twitched. "Anyone can marry him, but not Gao Fengfen! Who is Gao Fengfen? A vicious woman who actually wants to climb up to him?"
"Miss, what's wrong?" Pearl asked immediately when she saw that she seemed unwell.
"Prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to... September Pavilion." The name of this restaurant seems so familiar! But never mind.
"Go and invite the Prince of Zhenbei to the Jiuyue Tower. I have something to say to him. He absolutely cannot marry Gao Fengfen!"
"Miss?" Pearl's eyes widened in question. "Why?"
"Don't ask any questions, just do it!" Ji Wushang replied coldly, watching her retreat.
Was it because I was too soft-hearted that I didn't kill Gao Fengfen? Was it because I was too wary of the power of the Left Prime Minister's mansion? Now, Bei Gong Minhao actually wants to marry her? Is he using her? Or is it mutual exploitation?
Beigong Minhao, are you really going to do this?
In the afternoon, Ji Wushang carefully set off from his residence and arrived at the September Pavilion. He still kept his face veiled, preventing anyone from seeing his appearance. However, stepping into the September Pavilion again brought a different feeling.
Fragments flashed before Ji Wushang's eyes, but they were hard to grasp!
"Miss, are you remembering something?" Zhu'er was clever, and recently she had noticed that Ji Wushang seemed to be lost in thought more often, so she naturally wondered if she had suddenly forgotten something, since she had often overheard her talking to herself.
"No." Ji Wushang snapped out of his thoughts and immediately went upstairs. "Which floor is he on?"
“Miss, the Prince is waiting for you on the third floor, in room A of the Human-class building,” Zhu’er replied.
"Okay, you don't need to follow me for now. I'll take good care of myself." After saying that, Ji Wushang glanced back at her and quickened his pace.
Seeing this, Zhu'er had no choice but to go downstairs to find Tie Feng, so that he could protect the young lady at any time!
Ji Wushang didn't stop walking and went straight to room A of the Ren-class building. But looking at this room, it was as if he had returned to the past, to the moment he opened that door... It was when Ji Yinxue had accidentally tricked him, but he had sent her to Nan Jinxue's bed... And then, it was him!
Nan Xuzong? Ji Wushang turned around abruptly, only to see Nan Xuzong not far away, looking at him with a worried expression.
"Sigh!" Ji Wushang sighed. He turned his head to open the door, but immediately turned back, his eyes wide with surprise as he looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair.
It really is him! I'm not mistaken!
"You've come," he said in a very calm tone.
But she was terrified. She had actually made an appointment with Beigong Minhao! She already had him as her husband, and now she was going out with someone else behind his back. Wasn't this a slap in her own face? Was she being disrespectful by cheating on him?
"Yes, that's right." Ji Wushang sounded rather embarrassed.
“He’s not here, he didn’t come.” Nan Xuzong ignored what she was thinking.
"Why?" Ji Wushang was also surprised. "Do you know what I want to say to him?"
"I know." Nan Xuzong pushed the wheelchair closer at this moment. "You were thinking of persuading him not to marry Miss Gao."
"Yes." Ji Wushang felt relieved that his thoughts had been seen through. He hadn't done anything to betray him… Ji Wushang was startled by his own words. Didn't he hate him? Why was he worried about doing something to wrong him?
“He won’t come, you don’t need to wait.” Nan Xuzong looked at her and then said, “You should prepare your wedding dress.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Wushang blushed. Wedding dress, wedding dress... she was about to marry him!
"Um, if you see him, please try to persuade him!" Ji Wushang looked at him, then turned and ran downstairs.
Nan Xuzong watched her leave, but the door inside opened after she went downstairs.
A tall man walked out, looking at Nan Xuzong with a serious expression. He sneered, "You won."
"So, do you still want to marry Miss Gao?" Nan Xuzong asked, looking at him.
"Marry me." His answer was simple.
"You, do you know that she came here because she was worried about you and wanted to persuade you? Why do you insist on marrying that woman! Don't you know that the Gao family is no good?" Nan Xuzong said with some resentment.
"I'm betting with you because I want to see her heart, not because I'm betting on whether or not she marries Miss Gao!" Bei Gongminhao looked at him, stepped forward, and grabbed his collar without any politeness. "If you treat Wushang the slightest bit badly, I'll make you regret meeting me!"
"Oh? So you're finally going to start?" His eyes were deep as he looked at Beigong Minhao without the slightest worry. "I'll wish you well if you use Miss Gao as a pawn."
"Hmph, don't give me that!" Bei Gongminhao loosened his grip on his collar. "I can take Wushang away whenever I want. But she loves you, that's why I let her stay with you. If you don't know what's good for you, you're dead!"
“She’s been bewitched.” Nan Xuzong said after a long silence. “I went to my master, the old man Panyao, and found a note that said, ‘The one who tied the knot must untie it.’ I searched through medical books for a long time and found out that someone must have used some methods to make her lose her mind. She hates me, do you know that?”
Beigong Minhao was taken aback. "What are you talking about? She hates you?"
“She tried to kill me time and time again… But I taught her how to kill me, yet she ultimately didn’t. I guess it’s because of love… But I need your help, you know? Minho, if you still consider me your friend, you have to help me!”
"Help you?" Beigong Minhao looked at him. "You taught her to kill you, so why aren't you dead yet?"
Nan Xuzong narrowed his eyes, "I can't bear to part with it."
"What a lovely excuse for not being able to let go! Nan Xuzong, are you kidding me? She actually hates you? Haha, are you telling me a huge joke?" Bei Gongminhao laughed wildly twice, his originally burly figure now looking somewhat comical due to his laughter.
"If you don't believe me, then forget it! I don't know how powerful the person who controlled her mind is! Besides, he shouldn't be from our dynasty!"
"What's your plan?" Beigong Minhao stopped laughing. "If I help you, how do you plan to repay me?"
“Apart from Wu Shang, I can give you everything else,” Nan Xu Cong said seriously.
"What if I take your life?" Beigong Minhao said, carrying him on his back.
"If you can give Wushang happiness, I can give you my life."
Beigong Minhao shook his head. "I'll help you. As for the conditions, I'll tell you personally later!"
“Okay!” Nan Xuzong looked at her. “I want you to follow her around frequently. I need to know who is controlling her mind. I have difficulty walking and can’t stay with her all the time. If you have the time, I hope you will follow her closely.”
"Aren't you afraid I'll eat her up?" Bei Gongminhao smiled wickedly, turning around to meet Nan Xuzong's deep obsidian eyes with his fox-like eyes.
"Aren't you afraid I'll scatter your mother's ashes?" His tone was even colder!
Bei Gongminhao's smile froze instantly, his whole body radiating a murderous aura. "Do you know where my mother's ashes are buried?" His murderous aura was as if he wanted to kill him!
Nan Xuzong wasn't afraid at all. "I've already had someone inquire about your mother's ashes. I will take good care of them. Have you forgotten? Your mother and my mother were sisters. Your mother was my dear aunt. How could I not fulfill my filial duty?"
"You'd better think like this!" Beigong Minhao looked at him and sneered, "But you know, if you want to prove yourself, you should go and fight for it! Go and use your courage to prove yourself!"
"Hehe!" Nan Xuzong chuckled twice.
"Don't laugh like that. I know what you're up to!" Bei Gongminhao glanced at him. "If you do anything disrespectful to my mother, I will absolutely..."
"You're really trembling." Nan Xuzong looked at him and said with amusement, "We're brothers, for goodness' sake, would I do such a thing?"
"Hmph!" Bei Gongminhao heard this and went downstairs.
But the thought that someone was secretly watching her to see who had controlled her mind... made Kitagong Minho's heart inexplicably race.
I haven't seen her in a long time.
I've almost forgotten what it feels like to have my heart beat.
But who is really controlling her?
Evian Upper Town!
The name flashed through Bei Gongminhao's mind. This man, like himself, had once appeared in Ji Wushang's boudoir. It was him! He also loved Ji Wushang, but Yiyun Shangcheng... it didn't seem to be him...
From what I understand, although this friend likes Ji Wushang, he wouldn't take such an extreme approach. He should know that if Ji Wushang were to wake up one day and find out what he had done to her, she would definitely hate him to the core! Ji Wushang's personality is such that she absolutely will not allow anyone to force her to betray her!
You can tell from her every word and action!
Is it really you, Evian Upper Town?
Beigong Minhao left Jiuyue Tower and went straight out of the city.
Ji Wushang returned to his own Xinyuan Garden, and all that remained in his heart was a sigh.
When Beigong Minhao appeared in front of Yiyun Shangcheng, Yiyun Shangcheng was very calm, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time, which surprised Beigong Minhao.
“Sit down. It’s been a long time since we sat down and chatted together.” Yi Yun Shangcheng looked at him and gently poured a glass of wine, but Bei Gong Minhao snatched the wine away and put it aside. “I didn’t come here to drink with you.”
"So you've come here to fight me?" Yiyun Shangcheng narrowed her purple eyes. "Unfortunately, I don't want to fight you for the time being."
"I've come up here to ask you, did you do something to Wu Shang?"
"Heh, do I need to?" he said casually. "Wu Shang, she likes me. You can't blame me, and you can't blame her either."
"You're despicable!" Bei Gongminhao stood up abruptly. "Doing this will only make her hate you more!"
"Hate me? Fine, I wish she would hate me!" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled innocently. "At least she would hate me, but what about you? She doesn't love you, nor does she hate you; she'll just forget you!"
"You must be crazy!" Beigong Minhao roared. "You've changed!"
"You only just realized I've changed?" He smiled. "Love can change a person, didn't you know that? I'm a hundred times better than a coward like you!"
"Who are you calling a coward!" Beigong Minhao pressed a dagger against his throat.
"Heh, Minhao, you should conceal your power and learn to restrain yourself. You expose yourself so easily to others. Aren't you afraid of being secretly retaliated against?" Yi Yun Shangcheng said, turning his head and bending down, his entire body flashing behind him like lightning! His large hand, like an iron claw, had already reached out from behind to face Beigong Minhao, tightly locking his throat. With just a slight exertion, Beigong Minhao's throat bones would shatter! He would die!
Beigong Minhao was shocked. When did his skills become so amazing?
"Aren't you shocked? Hahaha!" He laughed wildly twice. "This is the power of love! Minho, if you love her, you should show it!"
"I'm willing to give her the best. As long as she's happy, I'm willing to do anything! As long as she can be happy, even if it means giving her to the man she likes, I won't even flinch!" Bei Gongminhao suddenly seemed to have let go of his worries.
"You're so stubborn! You don't understand at all! Who would give their beloved woman to another man? She'll only forget you. What have you left her? She'll forget you completely, and you'll be all alone!"
"You're wrong! You're the one who's stubbornly clinging to your delusions!" Bei Gongminhao rebuked. "You're selfish! I never noticed it before! Humph! You think that just because you've controlled her mind, she'll never wake up and will always love you? Love isn't a lie, but your love is built on lies! Don't you find that tragic?"
"Get out! You're the pathetic one!" Yi Yun Shangcheng shouted angrily, shoving him to the ground. "Get out of my sight! I don't have a friend like you!"
"How did I hit a nerve?" Bei Gongminhao suddenly smiled. "I'm here to help you." He sighed. "I know you're stubborn and proud. Can't you just tell me what happened in the Western Regions? Why do I have to investigate?" Bei Gongminhao stepped forward and punched him. "I've already requested to mobilize 100,000 elite troops for your command. However, I have conditions."
"What are the conditions?" Yi Yun Shangcheng looked at him and knew that this fox wouldn't do anything for free!
“Release Wu Shang.” Bei Gong Minhao raised an eyebrow slightly. “The one who tied the knot must untie it. Only you can untie her mind, can’t you?”
"Impossible! You can leave! I don't need your 100,000 elite troops! I am the king of the Western Regions, who can do anything to me!" Yiyun Shangcheng's lips twitched. "Besides, my brother-in-law will help me."
"Brother-in-law? You found Mu Chen? And you have a brother-in-law? Who?"
"Bei Gong Jue Shi!" Yi Yun Shang Cheng felt a surge of energy when she uttered this name!
"What!" Bei Gongminhao could hardly express his surprise. "What happened! He's back, isn't he? Where is he? I need to see him. And why, why is he your brother-in-law?"
"Hehe, nothing is impossible. They're in love, aren't you happy?"
