Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

Chapter 159 Xuanyuan Hou Visits

"He is kind-hearted, and I believe he will. However, he already has Xiao Yaqian and their daughter, so it is impossible for us... woooo." Xun covered her face and sobbed. Ever since she recovered her memory, she often recalled the happy times she and Han Zhen had when they were young.

"Mom, there is one thing you don't know yet. Han Xi is not the daughter of General Han and Xiao Yaqian. Han Xi's father is someone else. Moreover, General Han and Xiao Yaqian have been married for 18 years, but they have never been together. The reason why General Han married Xiao Yaqian is because Xiao Yaqian framed General Han, and the two were found lying in the same bed. General Han also thought that he had offended Xiao Yaqian, so he agreed to marry her. All this is a misunderstanding." Mi Yao didn't hesitate to say it directly.

"Ah?" Xun's beautiful almond eyes widened. After more than half a year of maintenance and nourishment, Xun, who was thirty-four or thirty-five years old, looked only about twenty-seven or eighty years old. Her current surprised expression looked a little silly and cute, with tears hanging on her eyelashes, making her look extremely adorable.

"Oh, is everything you said true?" Xun calmed down.

"Mom, do I need to lie to you? You have already wasted half of your life, you should cherish the present." Mi Yao persuaded.

"But Xiao Yaqian..."

"Mom, I know your worries. Now that foreign envoys are in Dongqi, it is not convenient for us to do anything. If we make a fool of ourselves, we will lose face abroad. I will arrange this matter after the envoys leave Beijing. Besides, I haven't found out who Han Xi's biological father is, so there is no rush. Now that I know your thoughts, I can tell General Han and find time for you to meet." Mi Yao strongly supported Xun and General Han to reconcile.

Xun didn't say anything, but seeing the blush on her cheeks and ears, I knew that she agreed.

"Sister, Hou Xuanyuan is here." Mi You knocked on the door.

"Got it." Mi Yao stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go take a look first. Don't feel any psychological burden. Just leave everything to me."

"Well, get busy. This kid has been away for so long, I don't know if things have been done?" Xun said something else to hide the embarrassment on her face.

"I'll go take a look." Mi Yao said and walked out of the house.

"Master!" Xuanyuan Hou saw Mi Yao clasping his hands and bowing deeply.

"I've said it before, you are a free man from now on, you don't have to call me master anymore, and you are of noble status, if anyone wants to salute, it should be me who salutes you." Mi Yao sat down and motioned Xuanyuan Hou to sit down as well.

"My master seems to dislike me." Marquis Xuanyuan was a little sad.

"If I disliked you, I wouldn't waste my time here with you. How's your thing going?" Mi Yao asked.

"I have just returned to the Yongxin Marquis's Mansion, my maternal grandfather's home. Back then, my mother was framed and killed by the Queen, and I was forced to wander. Fortunately, there were some tokens left by my mother, so the Yongxin Marquis's Mansion recognized me as a relative. However, it was difficult for the Emperor to recognize me, after all, my mother and I were both believed to be dead."

"Now that I'm back, I don't have any evidence. If I ask the emperor to recognize me, I'm afraid that even if the emperor is willing, the censors and cabinet ministers will not agree. After all, one more adult prince means one more person to compete for the throne, and no one wants to have a competitor whose background is unknown."

Xuanyuan Hou lowered his head after saying this.

"Are you obsessed with that position, or do you just want to return to your roots?" Mi Yao took a sip of tea and asked leisurely.

"To be honest with you, my master, I was also very confused. When I first learned about my identity, I simply wanted to trace my roots. Others have parents and relatives, but I don't, so I wanted to find them. After I found the Yongxin Marquis Mansion, I wanted more rights. Since I am qualified to compete for the highest position, why don't I fight for it?" After Xuanyuan Hou finished speaking, he looked at Mi Yao and their eyes met.

Mi Yao saw the determination in Xuanyuan Hou's eyes, and Xuanyuan Hou also saw Mi Yao's trust and protection for him.

"Well, you're right to think so. After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places. This is human nature. But your path is not easy!" Mi Yao shook his head.

"Yes, I have been away from Jingfeng Yaju for such a long time, and apart from becoming relatives with the Yongxin Marquis Mansion and cultivating a force of less than fifty people, I have gained almost nothing." Xuanyuan Hou's lofty ambitions were gone at this moment.

"If you became an emperor, would you be a good emperor?" Mi Yao asked.

"Of course. I thought about this question when I couldn't sleep. If I became the emperor, I would recruit wise officials, repair bridges and roads, reward those who have made contributions to Dongqi, use people with both moral integrity and talent, severely punish those who embezzle and accept bribes, abuse their power for personal gain, and form cliques for personal gain. I would also treat the people as my own children, think about what the people think, worry about what the people worry about, reduce corvée and taxes..." Xuanyuan Hou said a lot.

Mi Yao listened carefully and had to say that Xuanyuan Hou’s ideas were very good and beneficial to the country and the people.

"Are these just talk?" Mi Yao didn't want to discourage Xuanyuan Hou's enthusiasm. These good initiatives were too difficult to implement. After all, they would affect the interests of many people. But that's another story.

Xuanyuan Hou was silent. Yes, he was still too naive.

"In three days, the Emperor will go hunting in the royal hunting ground with the ministers in the capital, their families, and envoys from the three kingdoms. You will go with Marquis Yongxin. When His Majesty is assassinated, you must step forward to save His Majesty and then..." Mi Yao talked with Marquis Xuanyuan for a long time, and in the end Marquis Xuanyuan almost knelt down to Mi Yao.

"Thank you, Master, for giving me advice. If I take that position someday, I will definitely..."

"You don't have to make big promises to me. If you can't do everything you say in the future, you will naturally lose everything." Mi Yao smiled.

Xuanyuan Hou was quite familiar with Mi Yao. Her smile was the most terrifying. He believed in Mi Yao's ability. After all, Mi Yao had a magical weapon and elixirs that were not from this world. It was a piece of cake for her to empty a mansion, a treasury, and kill an emperor.

"I dare not!" Marquis Xuanyuan bowed again.

"Well, go back and prepare if you have nothing else to do." Mi Mo was a little sleepy. She herself had never been pregnant, but she knew that sleepiness was normal.

"Master, this is the medical fee my grandfather and uncle gave you. We didn't prepare it that day. Grandpa and uncle are deeply sorry and said they would invite you to have dinner at their house another day." Xuanyuan Hou said.

"Let's talk about this later. I just went to Yexiao's house. Those women in the house are restless. Wait for me to deal with them." Mi Yao rubbed his eyebrows. He was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes.

"Woman? If you want to be subordinate..." Xuanyuan Hou stood up and his aura changed.

"No need, just do your thing." Mi Yao waved her hand.

"I understand, Master."

"I said that day that your aunt was drugged, which led to her difficult labor. Has anyone found out?" Perhaps because she was pregnant again, Mi Yao paid more attention to the Crown Prince's Consort.
