The two people didn't say anything as they had their evening meal.
Mu Yunjin had been bowing her head to eat, she had a feeling that Chu Li is somewhat depressed, guessing that it was because the secret pavilion of Rong Fei have been disturbed.
Thinking so, Mu Yunjin bit her lip, turned her head to Chu Li, looking for a topic.
"Your Rong w.a.n.gshu, wants to marry Mu Lingzhu as a cefei."
Chu Li nodded but remained unmoved.
Mu Yunjin felt bored when she saw him not answering. She quickly finished the food in her bowl and put down her chopsticks.
"I'm done."
When her words fell, she did not wait for Chu Li to speak, and Mu Yunjin went out of the dining hall.
Chu Li looked askance at the back of Mu Yunjin, and his eyebrows slightly knitted together.
……….
Out of the dining room, Mu Yunjin walked on the way back to the Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion, crossing her arms, she looked at Zi Xiang.
"Do you think Chu Li has taken the wrong medicine again?"
"Clearly he had me wait for him to come back in the fu and the result is his ice cold manner."
Zi Xiang bit the corner of her lip.
"This servant is not sure about the temperament of Liu huangzi. Is it xiaojie who caused Liu huangzi to be unhappy?"
"No."
Mu Yunjin thought back for a moment, and could not think of how she had angered Chu Li.
After returning to her room, Mu Yunjin had Zi Xiang prepare for her hot water bath.
Soon after, Zixiang was ready with the hot water. Mu Yunjin took off her coat and put it on a chair beside her. Then she sat down at the dressing table and began to remove her hair bun.
"This, xiaojie, how did you get blood on your dress?"
Zi Xiang held Mu Yunjin's outer garment and her face is filled with surprise as she walked in front of Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin, put down the comb in her hand, took the clothes from Zi Xiang's hands. Then she saw the collar, there are a few drops of blood, bright colored as if it was dyed.
Seeing it, Mu Yunjin estimated that it must be either Wen Yuan or Ming Yuan's blood that spattered on her.
Mu Yunjin was frightened, biting her lip, she twisted her eyebrows slightly. She didn't notice the blood just now. She went to the dining hall to have dinner with Chu Li. She doesn't know if Chu Li found it out.
If he suspected her, she will be in great trouble.
"Xiaojie, this bloodstain..."
Zi Xiang saw that Mu Yunjin did not reply, worried, she asked again.
Mu Yunjin sighed and picked up a smile.
"I guess I killed several mosquitoes when I was sleeping."
"So that's how it was, it scared this servant."
Zi Xiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then xiaojie should take a bath first. This servant will go and wash your clothes."
Mu Yunjin nodded.
When Zixiang walked out of the room with Mu Yunjin's clothes, she happened to meet Chu Li, who was returning to Gla.s.s Spring pavilion.
"Greetings Your Highness, Liu huang zi."
Zi Xiang bowed towards Chu Li.
Chu Li responded with a sound, and his eyes fell on the clothes on Zi Xiang's hands, which were Mu Yunjin's outer clothing. At this moment, the collar was standing up, and the bloodstain is just in front of Chu Li's eyes.
Zixiang seemed to notice Chu Li's expression, glancing at the clothes, she smiled.
"Xiaojie was bitten by some disturbing mosquitoes during her nap. She killed a few of them and some of their blood were left. Just now it frightened this servant."
When her words fell, Chu Li did not speak, and after Zi Xiang made a courtesy ceremony, she left with Mu Yunjin's clothes.
Ding Xian looked back Zi Xiang, and then approached a step towards Chu Li whispering:
"Huangzi fei is taking a nap, but how can she be wearing outer clothes."
"Heh…."
Chu Li suddenly gave a low laugh.
"Your Highness?"
Ding Xian is somewhat puzzled and looked at Chu Li, he had a little curiosity in his eyes.
Chu Li smiled but did not answer. His eyes swept through Mu Yunjin's brightly lit room. The woman is more interesting than he had imagined.
After years of humiliation in Xiang Fu, she developed an extremely shrewd and keen temperament. It's really interesting.
……….
After bathing, Mu Yunjin laid on the soft couch, leaning against the headboard of the bed, and pulled out the Mysterious Spirit Sutra from the pillow.
After turning to the first page,she looked at the aforementioned qi refining method. After a while, Mu Yunjin began to learn the method of refining qi according to the procedure given.
When gathering all the qi into her dantian, Mu Yunjin took a deep breath and suddenly felt that there was really a qi flowing through her dantian.
Mu Yunjin was surprised, but suddenly thought that she can now control qinggong, it should represent that her body really has some qi, now, isn't it necessary to learn to control her internal force?
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, and then turned over a page, and according to the characters on the page, she began to learn the moves mentioned.
Just as she practiced a few moves, a sound of knocking at the door was heard.
Mu Yunjin thought it was Zi Xiang, so she put the Mysterious Spirit Sutra back under her pillow and called carelessly.
"Come in."
The door of the room was pushed open, and Mu Yunjin turned to look, and when she caught a glimpse of the figure coming into the door, her heart trembled.
"How come it's you?"
"Benhuangzi cannot come to look for you?"
It is Chu Li who came.
Mu Yunjin is a little embarra.s.sed and pulled the corners of her mouth. She gathered her collar, she had just finished her bath and now she was wearing a light clothing she uses when she is sleeping, facing Chu Li, she unexpectedly feel a little embarra.s.sed.
Chu Li looked toward Mu Yunjin, and saw that she was wearing a white, light clothing, her fine black hair without any decoration hang up to her waist, and a beautiful face. He actually felt as if a fairy has descended from the sky.
But thinking about it, it would be inappropriate to compare Mu Yunjin this little fox to a fairy.
Thinking of it, Chu Li lightly hooked the corners of his lips.
Mu Yunjin did not understand Chu Li's purpose in coming. When she saw him smiling, she could not help but be dazzle and her mind shook. This man was always cold, she never thought he would look so good when he smiled.
"What is it that you came to me about?"
Mu Yunjin first responded, and looked curiously at Chu Li.
"Benhuangzi is going to Zhang Zhou City, will you come?"
Chu Li lifted his eyes and looked at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin's subconscious response is not to go, but thinking about it, she asked:
"What will we do there?"
"To take gold."
Chu Li replied.
"Gold? "
Mu Yunjin perked up, and became interested.
"How can we take it?"
"When the time comes, you will know."
Chu Li raised an eyebrow, his words are still indifferent.
"If you don't go, there will be none."
Mu Yunjin stared at Chu Li, she sat cross-legged on the soft couch, her eyes is wandering all over the place. Gold, these are the bargaining chips to live in this world, ah, although there are 32,000 gold, but there is no such thing as too rich.
"How much gold can I get if I go?"
Although she doesn't know how they will take the gold, Mu Yunjin is very convinced of Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled lightly.
"At least five thousand taels."
Mu Yunjin's eyes lit up and opened her fingers. Five thousand taels of gold is not a small amount. Chu Li even said it was the least, how can she not be moved.
Justas she wanted to open her mouth and agree to go, she then thought of something and frowned.
"Is Qin Muyue going?"
If Qin Muyue is going, she would not go, no matter how much money there is!
"She will not go, only you and me."
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin and added.
"Ding Xian will not go this time."
Originally, hearing that only the two of them will go, Mu Yunjin is a little happy, but after hearing that Ding Xian will not go, Mu Yunjin can not help but probe a little.
"Isn't he not your personal guard? Why not take him?"
"This action, the fewer people, the better."
Chu Li spoke and teased:
"Do you want to divide gold with others?"
"No, then we two will go!"
Mu Yunjin's eyes cannot hide the excitement, just thinking of those gold, even after leaving the Liu huangzi fu, she can still be a little rich woman.
When the two reached an agreement, Chu Li was about to go out of Mu Yunjin's room when a noise broke out outside the Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion.
"Aiyo, Tai fei niang niang, please walk slowly!"
"Move aside, aijia wants to see Li Er and Jin'er, where do they live?"
Hearing Qin Tai fei's voice, Mu Yunjin and Chu Li looked at each other. They both seemed surprised. Then the door of the room was knocked lightly.
"Li Er, Li'er, it's aijia, can aijia come in?"
Qin Tai Fei's voice rang out.
Mu Yunjin paused and leaned her head to look towards Chu Li, only to hear Chu Li's indifferent voice say:
"Grandmother, come in."
The door was pushed open, and Qin Tai Fei walked into Mu Yunjin's bedroom with the help of Qu Momo.
As soon as Qin Taifei entered the door, she saw Chu Li sitting on the soft couch and Mu Yunjin standing by the couch, she smiled.
"When aijia knocked on the door, aijia was afraid of disturbing a good thing. It seems fortunate that aijia came in the right time."
Hearing the ambiguous words of Qin Taifei, Mu Yunjin looked down and felt embarra.s.sed.
"Zumu, why did you come this late?"
"Oh, don't mention it."
Qin Taifei found a chair to sit down, and looked at Chu Li with eyes filled with complaints.
"Aijia heard that the Qin family's girl pestered Li'er for a day, truly outrageous!"
"Knowing that Li'er has a wife now, and still sticking to Li'er all day long, she has no rules, in no way resembles a great family born child."
"So, aijia decided to temporarily stay in your fu for the time being and keep an eye on Qin Muyue. I do not think she will dare to approach Li'er again, or aijia would immediately beat her to death with a stick!"
Mu Yunjin's mouth twitched, she saw the spearhead is headed toward Chu Li and Qin Muyue, then she did not speak, and handed this problem to Chu Li.
Chu Li looked at the angry Qin Taifei and said slowly:
"Zumu, erchen will go out to have fun with Yunjin tomorrow, and will not be in the fu for days."
(er means son and chen is used for I, your servant when addressing self in front of a sovereign)
"Oh? Are you really talking about Yunjin?"
Qin Taifei seems to be a bit unbelieving, and casted a sidelong glances at Chu Li.
Chu Li nodded.
"Really."
"That is only proper, you and that Qin Muyue casually playing for two days is concerning, certainly should not be together everyday. That girl is not a worry-free material! Since the first time aijia saw her, aijia did not like her!"
Qin Taifei then gestured to Qu Momo to help her up.
"It's getting late today. Aijia will rest in your fu for a night. You two should also rest."
At last, Qin Tai Fei blinked at the two, and added.
"It is better to let aijia embrace a great grandson at an early date."
When the words fell, Qin Taifei walked out of the room leisurely and deliberately closed the door.
Mu Yunjin had a headache and she rubbed her temples and looked at Chu Li standing in front of the soft couch.
"It's not early. You can go back and rest."
"Go and look at the door."
Chu Li seldom speaks gently.
"En?"
Mu Yunjin did not understand Chu Li's meaning. She walked out of bed, put on her shoes and walked towards the door.
Carefully opening a seam on the door, Mu Yunjin saw the entire Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion, filled with palace guards.
Mu Yunjin saw the situation, and sighed, then closed the door, she leaned against the door, her eyebrows twisted together.
"Then you want to sleep here tonight?"
