The two men were very quick at their feet, half of the journey they used qinggong, and the other half employed kung fu. After a while, they came out of the city and stopped in a pavilion in the outskirts.
Mu Yunjin stopped in a large tree not far away, slightly panting, she sighed. Luckily, Qi Qi had taught her how to use qinggong. Otherwise, she would have lost the two people by now.
Mu Yunjin found a comfortable posture by sitting on a tree pole, and her line of sight did not move away from the two people in front.
She secretly thought Chu Li promised her that he would not go out for a few days. These people's plan will perhaps have nothing to show for their troubles.
Only, she was curious about who was the spy who was lying in wait on Chu Li's side.
However….
It seems that even if the mole appears, she may not be able to recognize him.
After all, there are many things that Chu Li did not tell her like even though he had been looking for something, she does not know anything about it.
A moment later, in the Pavilion, come seven to eight more people who seemed to be well acquainted with those two people and she could vaguely hear a few words.
Most of them are saying that Chu Li has not yet appeared.
After a few moments of discussion, all of them looked at each other and one of them took the lead to decide.
"Maybe something has changed. Let's withdraw from here first."
At the end of his words, the men was about to disperse. A flurry of wind rushed forth, followed by white-feathered arrows shooting the people in the pavilion.
Faced with the sudden barrage of arrows, the men were too late to respond. They were soon shot down by the arrows and fell to the ground without a sound.
Mu Yunjin looked at this scene with astonishment and looked around for a while. Then she saw Ding Xian walking out of a secret place with several Zijia secret guards.
Ding Xian went into the pavilion and looked at the dead men. Then he searched the bodies of the men and found a secret letter in one of the men's arms.
After receiving the secret letter, Ding Xian withdrew the Zijia secret guards.
When Ding Xian left, Mu Yunjin smiled in self-mockery, she was hiding in the tree, she crossed her arms and shook her head.
"Oh, I truly shower affection to an uninterested party, the other person is already prepared, and here I'm still worrying about that other person."
……….
On the way back, Mu Yunjin kept wearing a sulking expression and her feeling an indescribable emotion of being peeved.
After passing by a cookie vendor, Mu Yunjin bought two cookies and walked away to eat, with no intention of going back.
When she thinks of herself doing something like a fool, she feels a little stuffy and scolds herself a lot.
Mu Yunjin bit on her cookie and while she was walking, a purple figure came slowly towards her direction and finally stopped in front of her.
When Mu Yunjin saw the person, she looked up at the sky and rolled her eyes as she sourly spoke.
"Liu Huangzi, why did you come out?"
Chu Li's eyes hung down and looked at Mu Yunjin.
"Didn't the fortune teller say, you recently have a black mark and there will be a disaster?"
"So what? It's my own business whether there are disasters and difficulties."
Mu Yunjin glared at Chu Li, a little impatient, and then she bypassed Chu Li, and continued to move forward.
Chu Li glanced back at Mu Yunjin and with seldom-seen patience, he followed her closely. He walked slowly behind Mu Yunjin without saying anything.
Ding Xian looked at the scene as if he had seen a ghost. He was surprised to see that there was a flirting overtone. This is extreme, he is afraid these two people are going to make a big event.
Along the way, Mu Yunjin wandered in the street, completely ignoring Chu Li behind her. The resentment that is still blocked in her throat, today, this is how she can vent it out.
"Is the Huangzifei angry? "
Ding Xian felt the situation is not normal, so he blankly interrupted.
Mu Yunjin did not reply to Ding Xian.
Seeing this, Ding Xian scratched his head and smiled.
"In that case, His Highness' matter is finished, we can go back to the Fu ahead of schedule. Huangzifei, if there is something you want to buy, now is the time to buy it. We will leave tonight."
When she heard that they would go back to the Fu, Mu Yunjin stopped her steps and turned around. Her eyes passed over Ding Xian and then looked at Chu Li.
"Is your highness' matter done?"
"En."
Chu Li nodded lightly.
"Great, I can finally go back, and I can go anywhere now."
Mu Yunjin sneered and turned in the direction of the alley.
……….
A moment after, in the carriage during the return journey.
Mu Yunjin sat on the side, she lifted the curtain of the carriage, leaned forward, and watched the scenery as they pass by.
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin from time to time. He naturally noticed her unusual attitude today, but he just lightly smiled did not say anything.
After about two hours, the carriage stopped at the gates of the Huangzi Fu.
Seeing that the carriage stopped, Mu Yunjin immediately pushed the curtain, jumped off the carriage, and hurried towards the mansion.
When Chu Li got off the carriage, he saw the figure of Mu Yunjin leaving hurriedly.
"Your Highness, Huangzifei seems to be angry?"
Ding Xian stood beside Chu Li and opened his mouth carefully.
Chu Li heard his words, his eyes flashed a hard to fathom expression.
"You tell Shen Momo to comfort her."
"…….."
Ding Xian wanted to say that it is better for him to comfort her personally, but some words cannot be said at all.
When Mu Yunjin came to the back garden, she saw Zi Xiang and Shen Momo sitting in the yard. Shen momo was embroidering while Zi Xiang is following her to learn.
"Zi Xiang."
Mu Yunjin shouted.
As soon as they heard Mu Yunjin's voice, Zi Xiang and Shen Momo looked up and saw a face that has no make-up and hair adorned with a simple bun. After seeing that it was Mu Yunjin, both were surprised.
Shen Momo took the lead in reacting and creased her forehead.
"Aiyo, this slave had said that Huangzifei had followed His Highness out. But there is only guard Ding around His Highness, and the matter of hair and make-up must be handled by a little maidservant."
"Yes, this servant has never seen Young Miss look like this before, but fortunately, our Young Miss' foundation is good and no matter how she dresses up she still looks good."
Zi Xiang covered her mouth to muffle a laugh.
Looking at Shen momo and Zi Xiang, Mu Yunjin's mood has improved. She could not help but throw a tantrum and acted as if pouncing on the two of them.
"I want to kill you…"
"Huangzifei when someone sees it, they are going to laugh at you."
Shen Momo laughed a little and gently patted Mu Yunjin's back.
In between their laughter, Chu Li and Ding Xian walked into the back gardens.
A glance at Chu Li's arrival, Mu Yunjin coldly humphed, immediately let go of Shen momo and Zi Xiang, and went towards the direction of the Glass Spring Pavilion.
Shen Momo looked surprised, and then she approached Chu Li.
"Your Highness, did you offend the Huangzifei?"
Chu Li shook his head.
"Well, that's strange. Just now, Huangzifei and these servants were laughing and talking. When you came in, she ran away with anger. Could it be that Ding Xian provoked her?"
Shen Momo turned her eyes to Ding Xian.
Ding Xian immediately waved his hand and shook his head.
"I won't dare to anger Huangzifei."
"That is..."
Shen Momo looked at Chu Li, her identity did not let her dare to continue but instead reminded him
"Your wife is just like any other normal woman, they just needed to be coaxed and everything will be alright."
Coax?
Chu Li slightly frowned and he looked stiff, he is Chu Li, when was he reduced to coaxing a woman.
Shen Momo saw that Chu Li is unable to grasp intuitively. She raised an eyebrow, and await optimistically to watch a good play.
……….
Mu Yunjin returned to her room and instructed Zi Xiang to prepare hot water for her bath.
Leaning against the bathing barrel, Mu Yunjin exercised her neck. Zi Xiang stood beside her, as she helped Mu Yunjin scatter petals on her bathing barrel. She laughed.
"This servant thought that Young Miss really had to be away for half a month, but in the end, after three days you are back."
"Why? You don't want me to come back?"
Mu Yunjin curled her lips into a smile and teased Zi Xiang.
Zi Xiang immediately shook her head.
"No, this servant has been serving Young Miss for a long time, and this is the first time Young Miss went out without this servant. So this servant is a little worried about Young Miss."
Hearing it, Mu Yunjin heaved a long sigh.
"I thought Chu Li was going out to see something fun but in the end it was boring."
Whenever she thinks of those matters in the River Moon city, Mu Yunjin has a feeling of being annoyed.
"Fortunately, after only three days, Young Miss had come back. First, take a good rest, this servant went to your bedroom and placed a good calming incense, so that Young Miss will have a good night's sleep."
Zi Xiang smiled.
Mu Yunjin nodded.
"You are so considerate. There are some rouge and jewelry I bought from River Moon City in my bundle. You should go and choose a few."
"Thank you, Young Miss."
Zi Xiang then joyfully walked away.
After changing to her bedclothes, Mu Yunjin laid down on her soft couch. After sniffing the incense in the room, she yawned and let sleep take her away.
……….
Mu Yunjin slept for a long time and didn't wake up until the morning of the next day.
"Zi Xiang."
After sleeping, Mu Yunjin shouted for Zi Xiang.
When Zi Xiang heard her call, she immediately pushed the door and walked inside, and said:
"Young Miss woke up just in time. Someone from the palace came saying that Qin Taifei wants Young Miss and Liu huangzi to have lunch with her."
"Then they also said that if Young Miss does not have anything to do in the Fu, you should go straight to the palace to chat with her after breakfast."
Mu Yunjin nodded and walked out of bed, she let Zi Xiang help her with her hair.
In a few moments, her fine black hair is pulled into a tall bun. Zi Xiang especially helped Mu Yunjin choose a few pieces of jewelry that Qin Taifei had given, saying this would make Qin Taifei happy.
Mu Yunjin smiled. She could not help praising Zi Xiang.
"Now, you are maturing, your mind is becoming more and more nimble."
"Now, Young Miss is married into the Liu Huangzi Fu, this servant is your only dowry servant girl, every move I make also represents Young Miss. This servant is afraid to commit mistakes that may disgrace the young miss."
Zi Xiang replied.
"You have done quite well."
Mu Yunjin smiled and looked at Zi Xiang.
When Zi Xiang heard Mu Yunjin's praise, she also had a smile on her face.
After coming to the hall, Shen momo was in the middle of telling the little servant girls to clean the house, and after seeing Mu Yunjin, she bend her body slightly.
"His highness went to the palace to see the emperor early this morning. Huangzifei, do you want to eat breakfast first?"
Mu Yunjin nodded and walked to the dining room.
Sitting on the dining table, Mu Yunjin picked up a bowl of red bean porridge. After taking a scoop, Mu Yunjin caught a glimpse of a dish on the table.
"How did these cookies get here?"
Mu Yunjin looked at the same sweet cookies as the ones in River Moon city and asked curiously.
"Before leaving this morning, His Highness instructed the cook to make them saying the Huangzifei liked eating them these past two days."
Shen Momo replied as she looked at the Mu Yunjin with a smile.
When Mu Yunjin heard the words of Shen momo, she had a surprised look on her face, and her eyes fell on the plate of the cookies, her eyes filled with thoughts.
