Of course, he would not tell her his inner plans for the time being.

Because she hasn't fallen in love with him yet.

Only when the relationship between the two is deep enough and the seeds of love take root in her heart, can he be qualified to make a request.

The art of war, the trick.

Requires careful planning.

This is true for the king and general, and the same is true for feelings.

Mu Cang calmly closed his eyes and took a sip of tea, hiding the color in his eyes as deep as the sea.

He spent four years setting up a dragnet just to snare this woman who impressed him at first sight.

No one and no reason can make him give up his plans.

There are seven days left.

Mu Cang calculated in his mind that with only seven days left, she would be his legitimate wife.

In this life, they will have the most intimate relationship that no one can replace.

seven days.

Only seven days left.

With these words flashing through his mind, Mu Cang felt for the first time that the short seven days had suddenly become too long.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, just like Mu Cang's eager and hopeful heart at this moment.

…

"Nanjiao Bieyuan?" At this time, in the imperial study room, Emperor Zhaocheng heard about the engagement of the Ninth Prince, and frowned thoughtfully, "The betrothal gift was not sent to the Jiang family?"

"Yes." Ye Qi, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, knelt down on one knee and respectfully replied, "The Ninth Prince specially purchased a villa for Princess Nanyang in the southern suburbs, and all the betrothal gifts were sent to the villa."

Emperor Zhaocheng fell silent, his eyes as deep as the sea.

Mu Cang's attitude toward Yan Li seems abnormal.

Although Yan Li has good looks and a special temperament, it is not surprising that Mu Cang falls in love with her.

But how long have the two been in contact until now?

The total time before and after is only more than a month, how deep can the relationship be?

Even if she falls in love at first sight, there is absolutely no such thing as being so desperate. Moreover, Mu Cang, who has always been cold and steady, has always been aloof and difficult to get close to in the eyes of outsiders.

Emperor Zhaocheng thought that he had been on the battlefield for many years and had developed a ruthless temper, so he issued several edicts ordering him to return to Beijing in order to resolve his marriage.

But Mu Cang's recent actions made Emperor Zhaocheng realize that he didn't know him well enough.

"Are there many people watching today's appointment?" he asked calmly.

"Yes." Ye Qi nodded, "A lot of noble ladies from aristocratic families came to watch the fun. They all envied Princess Nanyang's good fortune."

What a blessing.

Emperor Zhaocheng thought the same way before.

He felt that Yan Li deserved the best, so he had already decided on the position of Crown Princess for her.

However, compared to the narrow-minded and selfish prince, Mu Cang is obviously recognized as the best man in the eyes of the noble daughter of the Mu family.

Therefore, after the prince broke off the engagement, Emperor Zhaocheng felt that it was indeed a good decision for Yan Li to marry the Ninth Prince.

However, at this moment, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Mu Cang is not a person who indulges in the love between his children. His attitude towards Yan Li should be respect, pity, love, and a little protective desire.

This is also the attitude a gracious husband should have towards his wife.

Is Mu Cang's attitude too much beyond expectations?

Emperor Zhaocheng was confused and suddenly wanted to know why Mu Cang was so in love with Yan Li and even broke his principles for her?

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Zhaocheng calmed down his expression and asked calmly: "How will the Jiang family react when the Ninth Prince hires someone today?"

"No." Ye Qi replied, "Taifu Jiang has been living in seclusion these days and doesn't pay much attention to outside affairs. The eldest master and his wife of the Jiang family heard about the Ninth Prince's appointment and sent someone out to inquire about the situation. There was no other reaction."

"The three young masters of the Jiang family have not gone out often recently, and their attitude towards Princess Nanyang seems to have become much more restrained."

"Miss Jiang is still learning the rules from the two nuns and has no time to care about outside things."

After hearing this, Emperor Zhaocheng nodded slowly: "I understand, please step back first."

"Your Majesty." Ye Qi did not stand up, but saluted, "There is one more thing."

"explain."

"When I was patrolling outside the palace today, I encountered the guards of Prince Yu's Mansion chasing a maid." Ye Qi said, "That maid's name is Xiang'er, and she is the personal maid of the Prime Minister's daughter-in-law."
