The Aloof Prince Chapter 68 - Business

For some time, the Phoenix Feather mark never appeared again, and neither the cat spirit nor the crane spirit showed up. Mu Yunjin saw this matter and did not mind it.

At dawn, Mu Yunjin got up early, and after dressing up, she had just stepped out of the bedroom door when she saw Chu Li and Ding Xian outside the Glass Spring Pavilion.

Seeing Chu Li's figure, Mu Yunjin unavoidably had a feeling that it had been a lifetime ago, although it is unclear just how many days she did not see him.

It has been less than two months since her marriage to Liu huangzifu, but the number of times she had seen Chu Li, can only be counted by one hand.

This man is really a mystery.

"Huangzifei, good."

Ding Xian happily greeted Mu Yunjin and bowed in ceremony.

Chu Li heard Ding Xian's voice and looked in Mu Yunjin's direction. He looked exhausted, as he faintly opened his mouth to speak.

"Morning."

"Morning."

Mu Yunjin lightly replied.

When the words fell, Chu Li went to his bedroom.

Ding Xian stood waiting at the door, and when Chu Li went inside the door, he turned around and walked over.

"What are you doing being so secretly mysterious every day?"

When Ding Xian approached, Mu Yunjin curiously inquired.

Ding Xian stroked his head and embarrassedly laughed.

"It's just something that your Highness has to deal with in private business. It's nothing important."

"Private business?" "Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow, and neatly laid out an 'I do not believe you' look at Ding Xian.

"Yes, I dare not deceive you. Huangzifei should remember the thirty-two thousand gold that your highness brought out when he bought your jade pendant. That's all from private business."

Ding Xian whispered.

With this statement, Mu Yunjin believed a little but is reminded of eavesdropping on Ding Xian's talk with another person the other day involving the Dong Lin people. Mu Yunjin knew it is not that simple.

"Fine, you should go and rest too."

Mu Yunjin looked towards Ding Xian and replied.

Ding Xian immediately nodded and included another sentence.

"Huangzifei, remember that by all means, you can never tell anyone of His highness' private business."

When his words fell, he did not wait for Mu Yunjin to reply, and as if the soles of his feet are smeared with oil, he ran out of the Glass Spring Pavilion.

Mu Yunjin crossed her arms and stood there looking at this scene, she could not help but sigh, looking back and thinking about it. It seems that Chu Li has a lot of secrets.

Walking out of the Glass Spring pavilion, she did not walk a few steps, when she suddenly met Shen momo carrying breakfast.

When Shen Momo saw Mu Yunjin, she immediately bowed her body and then opened her mouth.

"His Highness did not have a good rest for these few days due to work. It would be better if huangzifei will take this breakfast to his highness to eat, before letting him rest."

When the words fell, Mu Yunjin had not yet nodded in agreement, but Shen Momo already put the tray into Mu Yunjin's hands.

Mu Yunjin was surprised, and she looked down at the steaming hot chicken porridge. She was a little helpless, but it was not good to brush away Shen momo's good intentions, soon after, she nodded.

In the end, she took the breakfast and again went back to Glass Spring pavilion.

When Mu Yunjin reached Chu Li's door, Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and lightly knocked on the door.

There is no response inside.

Seeing that there is no response, Mu Yunjin again stretched out a hand to knock several times, still, she didn't hear Chu Li's reply.

"This…"

Mu Yunjin scrunched up her eyebrows.

Again, after trying to knock again a few times, and seeing that he had no response, she became apprehensive, Mu Yunjin lifted up her feet and kicked Chu Li's door open.

"Chu Li!"

Mu Yunjin kicked the door of the bedroom and shouted to him.

"This prince is here."

An indifferent and mixed with a nefarious voice came from another room.

Mu Yunjin is stupefied, she followed the sound and discovered that there was another door in Chu Li's bedroom.

Mu Yunjin put down the porridge in her hands, walked around to the door, pushed it open, and walked inside.

It was a mist inside the room. It was just like a small garden. In that small garden, there was a hot spring pool.

At this moment, Chu Li is leaning on the wall of the hot spring pool, with his eyes closed. His black ink hair that was bound and was under his crown is now laid down in the spring water seductively.

Seeing this scene, Mu Yunjin curled her mouth into an arc and did not approach. She stood at the door and leaned against the doorframe.

"I've already put your breakfast outside this room."

"En."

Chu Li replied in a faint voice without any extra words.

Mu Yunjin curved the corner of her mouth, glanced at the water mist all around, and murmured.

"It looks really enjoyable."

Hearing the words, only low laughter in the hot spring pool was heard.

"I'll go first. You must remember to finish your porridge before resting otherwise Shen Momo will nag again."

Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li's figure from behind and wanted to mischievously go to the side of the pool to look. But she thought about it again and turned away.

Walking back into Chu Li's bedroom, Mu Yunjin looked around and found that Chu Li's things in the room were mostly candlesticks.

Another look around, Mu Yunjin had glimpsed her jade pendant.

She could not help but walk in front of the table and pick up the jade pendant and place it in her palm.

Originally, her jade pendant is wrapped in pink tassels, it is a close-fitting thing for a girl.

Now, Chu Li replaced it with a blue tassel and tied two little jade beads on it, which turned into a man's possession.

"Han."

(TL: This Han is spelled differently from his brother's Han spelling. It means Yell or to call. I don't know if she is saying "Yell" or if she is calling out a person's name.)

Mu Yunjin called out, she put the jade pendant in its original place, and just as she was ready to leave, the door behind opened.

Chu Li, who had finished bathing, was wearing light purple clothing and came in pursing his lips.

Seeing Chu Li come in, Mu Yunjin pointed to the porridge on the table.

"Quickly, eat it while it is still hot."

Chu Li nodded, he sat down in front of the table, took a bowl of chicken gruel, and ate it slowly.

Mu Yunjin also found a chair to sit down, raising her leg, she watched Chu Li eat his porridge.

"You disappear every time for so long, Are you in the city, or outside the city?"

"Outside the city."

Chu Li insipidly replied.

Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow and asked again.

"Then what do you do every time you are outside the city?"

"Business."

After hearing the same excuse as Ding Xian, Mu Yunjin pursed her lips lightly and did not continue asking questions.

………

Going out of Chu Li's room, Mu Yunjin saw Zi Xiang hurriedly greet her, and her little face is on the verge of collapsing.

"Young Miss, something happened."

"What happened again?"

Mu Yunjin spoke quietly. These days, she heard the most of 'something has happened' that now she is almost numb.

"This morning, the Justice Office is going to announce the sentence of Miss Wen concerning the poisoning case. Before it was told they found out that MIss Wen had killed herself in prison!"

"And before she died, she bit her own finger and confessed her crime on the prison wall. She admitted that she intentionally conspired to poison and murder Young Madam."

Mu Yunjin slightly narrowed her eyes and hummed out a sneer.

"This Chu Qingqiang is really quick."

"How is the Wen family?"

Mu Yunjin again asked.

"Lord Wen was also found guilty of corruption and was taking bribes. Now, the whole Wen family has been locked up in jail for questioning!"

Mu Yunjin heard Zi Xiang, and her complexion gradually sank.

"Miss, what do you want to do about this?"

Zi Xiang inquired.

"This is all done by Chu Qingqiang. What is it to do with me? Even if the Wen family is really wronged, it can only be said that they are unlucky and have been eyed by Chu Qingqiang."

Mu Yunjin faintly replied.

Zi Xiang sighed, not really understanding but nodded her head.

Unconsciously walking into the garden, Shen Momo sat there, as usual, holding a needle and thread in her hand, especially focused on embroidering things.

Seeing Mu Yunjin out of the corners of her eyes, Shen Momo immediately put down the needle in her hand and walked over.

"Huangzifei, today is the sixth day, tomorrow is the seventh day, what is your gift?"

Mu Yunjin looked distracted for a short time, finding out that tomorrow is already Chu Li's birthday.

Thinking of the gift she had prepared, Mu Yunjin asked in a conscious voice.

"Chu Li's birthday is in the Fu or in the palace?"

"His Highness had always disliked showing off publicly on his birthday. In the previous years, it was this servant who asserted to help set up his birthdays. It is the same this year, it will be held inside the Fu, but because this year it just so happened that you and his highness are newlyweds, this time it will be much livelier than before.

"That's good."

Mu Yunjin is inexplicably relieved.

The gift she prepared would be ridiculed if it was in the palace.

"Looking at Huangzifei's secretive appearance, I think it must be a big gift for His highness, so this servant will look forward to it."

Shen Momo laughed.

Mu Yunjin pulled the corner of her mouth and evoked a smile.

……….

At night, on the dining table.

"Huangzi, our dining hall, has not been used for a long time. His Highness is not at home. Huangzifei also eats in Glass spring pavilion, it has been idle for a long time."

Shen Momo poured wine for Chu Li and Mu Yunjin and then opened her mouth with a smile.

When Mu Yunjin heard this, she raised an eyebrow at Shen Momo.

"Momo, if you say it that way, it would seem that His Highness and I can't eat food as usual."

"It is Momo's clumsy mouth. Momo knows that Huangzifei wants to make matters easy that is why she let Zi Xiang bring food to your room."

Shen Momo replied again.

"The more you touch things up, the darker it gets."

Mu Yunjin chuckled.

On one side, Chu Li listened to the laughter and his eyes gradually became somewhat soft.

How long has it been when there were such sounds around him?

"Huangzifei, help His Highness pick some dishes."

Shen momo laughed and gently pulled Mu Yunjin's clothes behind her back.

Mu Yunjin, hearing those words again is a little helpless, she very much wants to say to Shen Momo, no matter how much she picks vegetables, her and Chu Li's relationship is non-existent.

Although that is what she thinks, Mu Yunjin still put a lot of foods into Chu Li's bowl.

Just as she was trying to help Chu Li to pick a piece of pork cutlet, Mu Yunjin stopped her hand.

"You said, you don't like pork cutlet."

When the words fell, the pork cutlet that is originally intended to fall into Chu Li bowl, changed direction and went to her own bowl.

"Your Highness, do you not know? When you were not at home for a long time, Huangzifei kept talking about you all the time."

Shen momo saw the atmosphere of these two people is somewhat heavy, so she turned her eyes, and spoke again.

"………."

When Mu Yunjin heard these words, her head was filled with a black line.

Chu Li heard what was said and his eyebrow slightly raised, although he knew this to be false, his countenance had a little mischievous interest, he cannot help but turn his eyes to look at Mu Yunjin.

"Did you really miss this prince?"
