Chapter 240 How about you blow on it for me?
They returned all the way to the Qin Prince's Mansion.
Feng Yue waited personally at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion. When he saw Su Mowan return, he approached her before she even dismounted.
He said to Su Mowan, "You're finally back! The Prince instructed that you should go to Fenghua Palace as soon as you return!"
Su Mowan nimbly dismounted, handing the reins directly to Feng Yue and saying "Understood." She waited until Yinshuang also dismounted before heading into the mansion.
After taking only a few steps, Su Mowan suddenly stopped, turned back and asked Feng Yue, "Were any of the brothers injured tonight?"
She was listening from the bottom of the cliff and it sounded quite realistic. Getting into character is good, but the problem is getting too into it.
Feng Yue was touched that Su Mowan would care about such details, and finally said with bright eyes, "Don't worry, the brothers are just playing around, nothing serious."
Feng Yue said this lightly because he didn't want Su Mowan to worry. Although it was just acting, he still had to act convincingly, and some physical injuries were inevitable.
Feng Yue was deeply moved by Su Mowan's greeting.
Su Mowan knew that Feng Yue was just saying that, but as long as he wasn't seriously injured, it was fine.
She said, "That's good. I'll treat you to a big meal another day," and then led Yinshuang into the mansion.
Judging from Feng Yue's tone, Murong Jing seemed to have something important to discuss with her. Su Mowan pondered what it might be while heading towards Fenghua Palace.
Yinshuang originally wanted to escort the person to the front of the palace, but Su Mowan waved her hand and told her to go back and rest first.
Yinshuang had only taken two steps when Su Mowan remembered Shen Murui's maid, Xiaoyun, and called Yinshuang back, asking her to go and check on Xiaoyun later.
Yinshuang responded, indicating that she would take care of it.
Su Mowan went straight up to Fenghua Palace.
The sixteen guards in front of the palace are all gone this time. The place is empty and deserted. Could it be that they have other missions?
Just as Su Mowan was about to go in, one of the four maids came out and invited her in with a smile.
Su Mowan had a good impression of these maids. From the beginning, they were not hostile towards her and always greeted her with smiles.
However, their occasional ambiguous glances turned Su Mowan's initial helplessness into her current embarrassment.
At this moment, the maid had a smile on her face that made Su Mowan feel a little embarrassed. Su Mowan could only try her best to control her gaze and not look at the maid, and kept her head up as she walked inside.
At this time, Murong Jing would probably still be in his study, but since the maid came to fetch him personally, he must be in his bedroom.
So Su Mowan went straight to the bedroom.
Shen Muyue must have returned to the manor by now, and she should have already sent someone to tell Murong Jing about what happened on the way. I wonder how Murong Jing handled it.
Su Mowan thought for a moment and suddenly realized: Could it be that the sixteen guards in front of the palace were not there because they were doing this?
She soon arrived at the bedroom door, where two maids were quietly waiting. Upon seeing her, they smiled and bowed.
Su Mowan nodded and was about to reach out to push the door open.
A maidservant beat her to it and pushed the door open, then gestured for her to enter.
This is a complete upgrade in treatment!
Previously, although the maids always greeted her with smiles, they never opened the door for her.
Su Mowan was somewhat flattered.
She was a little stunned by this treatment, feeling a bit unreal. She then wondered if Murong Jing had done something strange again.
The door closed gently behind me.
Because of the screen, Su Mowan couldn't see whether Murong Jing was in bed or not. When she went around the screen, she saw that Murong Jing was sitting by the window, holding a book and reading it intently.
Hearing Su Mowan's movement, he turned his head immediately.
His dark eyes met Su Mowan's gaze directly, and a fleeting change of emotion crossed his eyes.
Before Su Mowan could even catch it, he had already reverted to his usual cold and indifferent demeanor.
It was obvious that Murong Jing had already washed up. He was only wearing his undergarments, and his black hair was casually draped over his shoulders, with a few strands sliding down to his chest as he turned to the side.
Su Mowan sighed with emotion upon seeing this.
This is blatant seduction!
Fortunately, she is a decent person.
He's a decent person who can keep his temper in check!
He is a respectable person who regards beauty as fleeting clouds!
Su Mowan silently recited the mantra to herself as she walked toward the bed.
Just as she reached the bedside, Murong Jing put down the book he was holding, turned to look at her, and asked, "How did things go today?"
Su Mowan knew that he must have already asked Feng Yue, or Feng Yue had already reported it once, so this was just him making conversation.
This is quite rare; Murong Jing has actually learned to chat casually?
In the past, wasn't she always the one to speak first? Moreover, she would always say several sentences before Murong Jing would reply with a single sentence, whether he was in a good mood or a bad mood.
When Murong Jing is in a neutral mood, he is unwilling to say a single extra word.
Since people were asking, Su Mowan couldn't just ignore them, so she gave a brief account of what had happened.
Murong Jing listened to this and compared it with what Feng Yue said, and found that there was not much difference.
As Su Mowan continued speaking, she asked, "Has Shen Muyue returned to the manor a while ago? Hasn't she sent anyone to tell her?"
Murong Jing said, "I have already sent people out to search."
As expected, Su Mowan's guess was correct.
It seems that the dozen or so guards went out of the mansion to 'find someone'.
It's really tough. They just finished filming one scene and then had to rush to the next one. They're even busier than celebrities rushing to attend events.
Su Mowan made a decision: once this matter was over, she would definitely treat these dozen or so people to a big meal at Zui Jinzhao to reward them.
Seeing that she remained silent, Murong Jing asked, "Did you arrange for the person to stay with Lu Yifeng?"
"Yes, his place is quite secluded, and usually no one goes there, so it's safer for Shen Murui to stay there."
As Su Mowan spoke, she added, "Because of the clothes I'm wearing, Lu Yifeng has already recognized that I gave him the sect leader's token."
Murong Jing's eyes darkened slightly at these words, and his expression changed slightly.
Su Mowan didn't understand what his expression meant, but then she heard Murong Jing ask in a low voice, "Did he say anything?"
Su Mowan recalled that she had said it, but it wasn't anything important.
He then said, "He didn't say anything, but he was a little unhappy that I barged in in the middle of the night without telling him."
Just a little unhappy?
His Highness the King of Qin is jealous again.
Anyone who dares to enter Lu Yifeng's courtyard without permission will definitely not be met with a simple "displeasure".
Lu Yifeng was definitely being lenient because Su Mowan had given him the sect leader's token.
Although Su Mowan said that Lu Yifeng hadn't said anything, His Highness Prince Qin still felt uneasy.
Seeing that his expression changed from okay to not so good, Su Mowan reflected on herself and realized that she hadn't said anything wrong.
Then he added, "I only brought Shen Murui there to keep him company because I thought he was lonely living there all by himself. Who knew there was someone else living there?"
Murong Jing's emotions were successfully diverted: "Are there other people living in Luohua Pavilion?"
This news surprised Murong Jing.
Lu Yifeng dislikes being disturbed the most, so why would he allow others to live there?
Shen Murui was able to move in because of the sect leader's order, or rather, because of Su Mowan's influence.
Why would anyone else receive such preferential treatment?
Thinking of this, Murong Jing asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who it is?"
Seeing his solemn expression, Su Mowan felt that his reaction was strange, but she still said truthfully, "A young master, surnamed Yu, I think. I heard the maid call him Young Master Yu."
虞?
Could it be...
Murong Jing's eyes sharpened: "Has that Young Master Yu spoken to you?"
"Said."
Judging from Murong Jing's expression, Su Mowan knew that he might know that Young Master Yu, so she revealed a little more to him: "I fought with him tonight, and he was careless and I injured him."
"Are you hurt?"
Murong Jing raised an eyebrow.
Su Mowan nodded and briefly explained what had happened to Murong Jing, finally recounting how Lu Yifeng had recognized her.
Murong Jing's expression was complicated. After listening to Su Mowan's words, he fell silent.
Knowing he was deep in thought, Su Mowan didn't dare disturb him, so she simply walked to the side and poured herself some tea.
My palm stung when I held the teacup.
She knew her palms were chafed, and after enduring the initial pain, she ignored it. But now, the action of holding a teacup has triggered the pain again.
Su Mowan took a very light breath and, from an angle where Murong Jing couldn't see, took a close look at her palm. What she saw was rather eerie.
Because the rope was rough, the skin on his palms was badly torn.
Some flakes of skin were still clinging to the palm of the hand. Turning the hand over, the entire palm was red. Some of it was subcutaneous bruising, and some was fine blood droplets that had seeped out. The rest of the hand was just tender red flesh.
Miserable.
Su Mowan gently blew on it, intending to bear it, but such a light movement did not escape Murong Jing's ears.
Murong Jing said in an unhappy tone, "Come here, let me take a look."
Su Mowan instinctively shrank back, feeling a little guilty.
But after thinking about it, there was no need to hide it, so I went directly from the table to the bedside.
She held her palm up and presented it to Murong Jing.
His Highness the King of Qin's face immediately darkened again.
It's easy to see that these are scratches caused by friction, either from ropes or vines.
Murong Jing looked up, about to call for someone outside the bedroom, but Su Mowan saw what he meant and quickly stopped him.
"It's just a minor cut; it'll be fine in a couple of days."
Murong Jing wanted the maid to bring in some medicine to disinfect and reduce swelling, but upon hearing Su Mowan's words, his face immediately darkened.
"How did such a serious injury occur on the cliff face nearby, where there are many rocks on one side?"
This means that there's a place with good terrain, but you might have chosen the wrong place.
Su Mowan was amused by the phrase "such a serious injury." What kind of serious injury was this? If this was considered serious, then she would have died countless times.
But seeing Murong Jing's expression, Su Mowan couldn't bring herself to say those words.
Her eyes darted around, revealing a sly smile.
Su Mowan stretched her hand out in front of Murong Jing again, her eyes burning, and said, "It hurts a little. Why don't you blow on it for me?"
"..."
