Chapter 1041 The Heir Takes the Empire as Dowry 53
Perhaps realizing they couldn't do anything to the Grey King, no one dared to break into the palace again.

As for those who were arrested, no one dared to come to their rescue.

Anyone who comes to rescue them will be left here.

On this day, Azhen received a letter from Xie Liang. It turned out that they felt they had had enough of their trip and were preparing to return.

The letter also mentioned that Xie Nuo was already seventeen and should start thinking about marriage. Xie Ping's child was old enough to run errands, and Xie Kui had a two-year-old daughter; now all that was missing was Xie Nuo.

Xie Nuo was also very happy to hear that Xie Liang was coming back.

But when Xie Liang and his wife returned and asked about her marriage, her face fell.

Over the years, everyone has known that the men around her have treated her differently, and she herself knows it. It's precisely this knowledge that creates her inner conflict. Because each of them is wonderful, and she can't let go of any of them, making it difficult to choose.

There haven't been many things to do lately, so even if A-Zhuang wanted to assign some tasks to Xie Nuoduo, there's nothing she can do.

After all, we can't assign everything to Xenno and leave no room for others to contribute. Besides, there are some things we can't assign to Xenno either.

She only used them as laborers and never really thought about promoting Xie Nuo to a higher position.

Xie Nuo has been quite troubled lately. Her parents are telling her to consider marriage, as she can't keep putting it off like this.

She knew this, and never considered not getting married.

It's hard to choose when faced with so many good people.

Xie Nuo felt conflicted, wondering which option she would choose that might let down the others.

"Besides the busy Xiao Mu, there's also Seventeen, who always obeys Princess Ningnuo's every command. The people around Princess Ningnuo are somewhat competitive, and it's obvious that no one wants to lose out." Yuan Qi reported the latest news to Azhen. His Majesty is currently very interested in this matter, so she has asked more people to keep an eye on it.

Compared to the client's previous life, the biggest difference is with this Xiao Mu.

Because Xie Nuo helped him out of a predicament last time, Xiao Mu was indeed somewhat grateful to Xie Nuo. The difference was that in this life, Xiao Mu had an official position, which seemed to open up a new world for him. He tasted the feeling of having power and being able to do so many things, which was much easier than fighting and killing. He was constantly exploring.

Currently, in addition to assigning tasks to Xie Nuo, Azhen also secretly arranges for Xiao Mu to do things, and his official rank has been promoted several levels.

Whenever there was any injustice or a need for redress, she would arrange for Xiao Mu to go, and the results were surprisingly good. She wasn't afraid that he would just do a perfunctory job.

Xiao Mu is an extremely principled person, impervious to reason, averse to women, and not greedy for money; his heart is only set on ideals and ambitions.

Although his relationship with Xie Nuo was still good, it was different from before. He had almost no emotional entanglement with Xie Nuo. Perhaps he only regarded Xie Nuo as a friend, a friend who had once helped him out of a predicament.

pretty good.

It's a good knife.

At least Azhen dared to guarantee that, as long as such a person didn't make any fundamental mistakes, she could tolerate other minor issues.

However, Xiao Mu's actions were not without danger. Those he investigated desperately wanted him dead, and he had faced countless assassination attempts. Fortunately, he was skilled in martial arts. Azhen also did not want him to be killed and arranged for people to protect him secretly.

As for more powerful martial arts manuals, it's not the right time yet.

A few days later, Yuan Qi brought Azhen more of Xie Nuo's funny stories.

"They were vying for power and used a lot of tricks. Ji Churong's cousin, Le Yijun, made a scene and came to the capital. If nothing unexpected had happened, Ji Churong should have gotten engaged to his cousin."

"There's a girl from Zhuang Xu's family who came to the capital. Her name is Ding Jiao. She's from a merchant family and her business is very successful." "Yun Qinglan was criticized by them. They said that her status was not high enough, that someone of unknown origin was not worthy of being with Princess Ning Nuo."

"Seventeen didn't react much. It seems he doesn't compete or fight for anything, and is only willing to silently protect Princess Ningnuo without any complaints." Yuan Qi shook her head. She didn't know that there would be such a devoted lover in the Tianluo Guard. His Majesty was clearly the only person he was loyal to, yet he forgot his duty.

The situations of Seventeen and Thirteen are different. Thirteen is under His Majesty's command, and from now on he will follow Princess Ning Kui and be loyal to Princess Ning Kui without any problems.

To this day, Seventeen has not reported it, yet Princess Ningnuo already knows of his existence. Isn't this betrayal?
“Isn’t there another Ji Zixing?” A-Zhou asked.

Xiao Mu was no longer with them, but Ji Zixing filled in, making a total of five.

Zhuang Xu's childhood sweetheart Ding Jiao and Ji Churong's cousin Le Yijun both exist in the client's memories. Their appearance did create some obstacles, but it also fostered their relationship with Xie Nuo.

“Ji Zixing originally intended to act as a confidant, but the others pointed out his past infatuation with Princess Ningping. However, precisely because of this, he used it to indicate that it was a long time ago. The implication was that he now loves Princess Ningnuo,” Yuan Qi added.

"How complicated," the sword hanging at Azhen's waist said, adding with a sigh, "Luckily, I'm only devoted to martial arts."

Yuan Qi was already used to it and wouldn't be startled by the sudden sound.

"That's just how human emotions are. Luckily, I'm just a rabbit," said the Grey King, who was lying on the table. "I've seen plenty of things like this before."

“Other rabbits also find mates to reproduce, don’t you?” Shen Xuan asked.

The Grey King said, "The other rabbits are all silly and can't communicate. Rabbits don't like them."

“I see. You are indeed different from the other rabbits.” Shen Xuan said seriously. “Just like me, although I look like a sword, I don’t have any feelings for other swords. I can’t even speak. I don’t have a sword spirit at all.”

Yuan Qi: ...

A-Zhu: ...

The rest of the time was filled with fun for Xenno.

Perhaps seeing that Xie Nuo hadn't made up his mind, Zhuang Xu and the others decided to take a more drastic approach.

First, Zhuang Xu went back with his childhood sweetheart Ding Jiao, saying that he was getting on in years and should indeed seriously consider his marriage.

Then Ji Churong also left with her cousin Le Yijun, and her story was similar to Zhuang Xu's.

Although Yun Qinglan didn't leave, her attitude was clearly not right.

Ji Zixing looked dejected and frankly admitted that he was indulging in wishful thinking.

If things hadn't been relatively quiet lately, Xie Nuo felt like she was about to break down.

Actually, Azhen had deliberately given her time; otherwise, how could she deal with all these terrible things? She would be happy to see Xie Nuo marry those people at the same time; that would be much more interesting.

Confused and conflicted, Xie Nuo bumped into Xiao Mu as he entered the palace. She was somewhat dazed before realizing that she hadn't seen Xiao Mu for quite some time.

Xiao Mu had returned from his errand and was going to the palace to report back to Azhen.

Seeing that Xie Nuo seemed dazed, he asked her what was wrong.

Upon learning that it was related to those men, Xiao Mu fell silent. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Can the princess let it go?"

Xie Nuo couldn't help but scratch his head: "I feel like I can't let go of anything."
