Rong Hong glanced at Qin Muyue, with a smile on the corner of his lips, “Since it is a misunderstanding, then forget it.”
“Thanking Your Royal Highness Prince.” Qin Muyue shook the corner of her mouth, and was about to retreat and leave.
“There are not many followers on this trip, and no one recognizes the way to the imperial city, so it is better for Deputy General Qin to lead the way.” Rong Hong said quietly.
Qin Muyue froze, follower?
“This is the case, but there are still some things to be done at the border by me. It is better that I assign some high-powered martial arts people to escort His Royal Highness to the Imperial City.” She did not want to get entangled further with the Prince.
“Deputy General Qin should also return to the palace to participate in the feast hosted by the West. Then we will stay here for a few more days. After Deputy General Qin handles the border affairs, we can go to the Imperial City together.” Hong Ling opened her mouth, her face full of smiles.
Qin Muyue clenched her fingers slightly, so that she did not further speak out of turn. Is Rong Hong really not aware of the road, or is he helping out Mu Yunjin?
But at the moment, she could not refute the plea for an escort. She could only respond positively to this matter and leave.
After Qin Muyue left, Hong Ling walked to Rong Hong’s side, and smiled at the frustrated expression between his eyes. “No wonder His Royal Highness ran into Qin Muyue that day chasing after Mu girl, it was all over a man.”
Zhang Bai also looked at Hong Ling to the side, his face was not good. “This girl Mu is not inferior. I thought that it was a Jianghu woman who learned martial arts. I did not expect that she would be the respected and noble Princess Ning.”
“Yeah, it’s really incredible,” Hong Ling sighed.
Rong Hong was still thinking about the scene where Mu Yunjin was taken away by Chu Li. After listening to the words of Hong Ling and Zhang Bai, he frowned at them.
The two people’s eyes touched Rong Hong’s displeased visage, and they immediately dispersed.
…
…
Mu Yunjin was carried to the house by Chu Li. After Chu Li carefully laid her body flat, he stood by the bed and reached out to untie her belt.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Mu Yunjin froze, reached out and held Chu Li’s wrist, and stared at him in warning.
Chu Li lifted her hand, took off her belt, and crinkled his brows, “Checking your wounds.”
“I …” Yunjin was still a little hesitant, twitching her lips, “I’m fine, so don’t make such a fuss.”
Chu Li gave her a cool look.
“Look, then.” Mu Yunjin let go of his hands, and squeezed her lips, letting Chu Li untie her belt until she only wore her small clothes in front of him.
Chu Li saw Mu Yunjin’s original smooth and fair skin. At this time, she was covered with purple bruises and some blood streaks. His brows scrunched up, his eyes slowly falling to her lower abdomen, and with light hands touched her ribs.
“Ow–” Yunjin suddenly felt the cool touch, and took a breath.
Chu Li caressed her ribs, and his countenance gradually darkened. He fastened her clothes again and narrowed his lips. “What happened after this King left?”
Yunjin lay down in a comfortable position, blinked, wondering whether to tell Chu Li about Qiuye Taoist.
After thinking about it for too long, Chu Li was about to scold her fiercely. Yunjin had no choice but to make an excuse, “After you left, I went to Qingfeng Mountain to bask in the sun, and accidentally rolled down from the mountain.”
“This king heard that you left during the night … “Chu Li raised an eyebrow.
Upon hearing this, Yunjin stood up and struck Chu Li’s arm heavily, “You are too embarrassed to say that you left me to go traipsing off with Qin Muyue!”
Although she knew the truth about Chu Li and Qin Muyue’s departure, now that she was facing Chu Li, she still couldn’t help but want to curse.
Chu Li felt helpless, took her into his arms, and sighed softly, “Don’t run away in the future.”
“Now that the rain in Qingzhou has stopped, can we return to the imperial city?” Mu Yunjin leaned against Chu Li’s arms, still a little worried.
She thought about how Qin Muyue’s being known as the Phoenix Girl was previously announced by Qin Tai Fei’s secret letter, but it seems that this is not the case just after listening to others.
So, the news of Imperial Concubine Rong Fei also bearing the phoenix has not yet been announced.
Qin Muyue being the phoenix girl is now known to the people of Qingzhou. She believes that it will soon pass to the ear of the Emperor Ximing, but she does not know how the Emperor Ximing will react.
“Do you want to return to the Imperial City that badly?” Chu Li glanced down at Yunjin, seeing her eyes empty, a look of contemplation on her face.
“I don’t really want to.” Yunjin sighed slightly.
Chu Li nodded, “Stay here for a few more days to heal your wounds, and wait to recover. Then let’s go to Yucheng for a few days.”
A month ago, if he had mentioned Yucheng, she would only want to settle in Qingfu with Zixiang, but now one month later, she seems to just want to be tied to Chu Li, where is he, she will be right there.
Mu Yunjin was a bit surprised by her own thoughts, secretly thinking that this was not a good omen.
…
…
“Master, the plan can’t be implemented anymore, Mu Yunjin has returned to Chu Li’s side safely.” In the dilapidated Cao Temple, Qin Muyue frowned, looking at the Qiuye Taoist sitting in front of her.
Qiuye Taoist snorted heavily and glanced at Qin Moyue, “This teacher has created such a good opportunity for you, you can’t grasp it, you really make me lose face.”
“Master …” Qin Muyue was helpless. “Your disciple is blameless, who knew that Mu Yunjin would be saved by people who came from the East.”
“The teacher carefully created this Qingzhou flood, in order to drag Chu Li here to Qingzhou, unable to return to the imperial city, so that your grandfather's spies can be inserted in all corners of the imperial city. For half a month, I don’t know how far your grandfather got. ” He sighed.
Qin Muyue squatted down, looking over at Qiuye Taoist, “Master, this disciple knows that Grandpa has the intention to oppose Brother Li, but why? He is not the crown prince, yet he still wants to curtail Brother Li’s wings?”
“As your teacher, why do you fall in love with Chu Li among the many princes there are?” he said.
Qin Muyue froze, and then raised her lips, “This disciple understands.”
After that, Qin Muyue stood up, and there was a little more thought in her eyes. Grandfather would undoubtedly list Chu Li as the number one opponent, maybe she could get Chu Li to side with her grandfather instead?
“If Chu Li is reluctant to join hands with your grandpa, your grandpa really won’t let him go.” Qiuye saw through Qin Muyue’s heart and sneered.
Qin Muyue was startled.
“But the most urgent thing is not to worry about Chu Li first, but to turn our attention to Mu Yunjin.” Qiuye Taoist reminded, “She is now a Phoenix Girl, and her potential is endless. If the power lurking in her body bursts out, It will be our greatest scourge in the future. “
Speaking of the Phoenix Girl’s body, Qin Muyue bit her lip and felt troubled again, “But now that she has been injured, Chu Li will take strict precautions, and we will not get a chance to get closer to her.”
“The Qingzhou flood disaster is over. They will not stay here for long. When you return to the imperial city, you must seize every opportunity.”
Qin Muyue nodded and when she heard mention of the imperial city, she seemed to think of a person, so she smiled, “This disciple understands.”
…
…
After Yunjin had bathed, she got comfortably into bed, propped up her head and watched Chu Li sit in a chair drinking tea.
“Why are people from the East country appearing here?” She asked.
Chu Li put down his tea cup and glanced at Yunjin. “Father Emperor invited the people from the four countries to come to the Crown Princes official naming ceremony on the seventh day of next month.”
“People from the Four Kingdoms?” Yunjin raised her eyebrows. She has been very curious about other people from the South and North countries, but she did not expect them all to gather next month.
“The last time I went to Qingfeng Mountain to collect herbs, I encountered someone who was chasing and attempting to kill Rong Hong. I didn’t know he was the prince of the east country.” Yunjin opened her mouth, to explain to Chu Li.
Chu Li said, “This King knows.”
“This time, I was seriously injured and was saved by Rong Hong. It was because he was reciprocating my good deed. Now, we are even.” Yunjin avoided the topic of being chased by Qin Muyue.
Chu Li nodded, glanced around at her and twisted his eyebrows. “Rong Hong is not as gentle or simple as he appears from the outside, so you must stay away from him in future.”
“Why would I be near him in the future?” She lay down flat, although Rong Hong’s person was OK to her, something still held her back.
Chu Li heard her answer, and curled his lips slightly, “Well, in any case there is no future.”
“By the way, isn’t he the Crown Prince of the East Country? Someone even dared to hunt him down.” Yunjin thought of the scene that day, still a little incredulous.
However, when she thought of the East Country, she thought of another person, the second prince who was plotting with Chu Qing Qiang and who wanted to rule the country.
“Isn’t his brother, the second prince, Rong Hong’s rival?”
After Yunjin asked, Chu Li, who had got up and knocked on her head, said, “You don’t need to meddle in affairs of the other countries. Now you will sleep after taking your medicine.”
Chu Li had just spoken when Xiaoju’s voice sounded outside the door, “Your Royal Highness, the medicine is ready.”
“Come in.” Chu Li said.
Xiaoju pushed the door in, and brought a bowl of hot medicine soup to the table beside Yunjin’s bed, then bowed and went out.
Mu Yunjing soon smelled the medicine in the bowl, frowned, and took a few breaths, “Chu Li, why must it always be this disgusting medicine!”
“What are you saying?” Chu Li gave her a funny look, took the medicine bowl, and blew it gently.
“I want to say if we are too guilty of being old, otherwise I’m falling into the water, blocking the knife, and breaking bones …” Mu Yunjin sternly stabbed her finger.
Chu Li held Mu Yunjing finger in his hand, and handed the medicine bowl to her. He said with a laugh, “This king thinks this belongs to you.”
“Your really not compassionate.” Mu Yunjin sighed, shook her head, took the bowl, and slowly drank the medicine within.
Near the end, she deliberately left a small mouthful. When she handed the bowl back to Chu Li, her hands trembled and she did not hold it firmly. The remaining medicine splashed on Chu Li’s white robe.
Yunjin watched the black medicine residue land on the robe, pretending to cover her mouth in surprise, and exclaimed, “Look, we just don’t agree.”
