Luo Qianqian went to bed after she told Feng Qing to go to the tavern and tell Murong Yun the situation for her.
It was such a long day.
Lin Zimo’s ointment was so great, the burning pain on the wound had vanished, Luo Qianqian was glad that she could have some good sleep.
Feng Qing could barely get any sleep, he kept tossing and turning on thinking about what Luo Qianqian had told him, ‘Feng Qing, don’t tell Murong Yun about what has happened to me, I’m all better now, I don’t want to get him worried over nothing.’
But he wasn’t able to finish his sentence, ‘But Your Highness — I’ve already sent master the message.’
Feng Qing now didn’t know whether he had done the right thing, ‘Her Highness is right, master now must be utterly exhausted from Gu Family’s mess, have I done the right thing by sending him the message that Her Highness has passed out. But master has said I had to send him a message on any sign of disturbance or trouble happens to Her Highness… …’
Feng Qing was so torn.
While Luo Qianqian was still sound asleep when it was late in the morning.
Her door was pushed open with a creaking sound, a man emerged in Luo Qianqian’s room like a flash.
The man walked directly to Luo Qianqian’s bed, but Luo Qianqian suddenly opened her eyes when he was about to touch her face!
‘Who could show up in my room without alarming Feng Qing?’
‘A strong cultivator? Should I scream?’
Luo Qianqian’s mind ran wild when she heard the creaking sound of the door, she was like a bird that startled at the sight of a bow after what had happened to her and Feng Qing last night.
What came to her sight was a man wearing a silver mask, Luo Qianqian jumped out of bed and launched a turning kick, but she withdrew her attack when the man removed his mask — it was him! Murong Yun!
“Murong Yun?!” Luo Qianqian exclaimed.
‘Am I dreaming? Is this what people say if you are thinking about something when awake, you will continue thinking about it in your dreams. This cannot be true. He is thousands miles away from me now, for sure I’m dreaming.’ Luo Qianqian stood transfixed on the spot.
Luo Qianqian wasn’t dreaming, Murong Yun hurried back without a single halt when he got the message from Feng Qing that Luo Qianqian had passed out
Murong Yun’s heart was bleeding when he thought Luo Qianqian might come to a bad end.
“Qianqian, it’s me.” Murong Yun reached out his arms and cuddled Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian nestled snugly in Murong Yun’s chest, soaking up the happiness and excitement.
Murong Yun gently touched Luo Qianqian’s wrist, he frowned when he saw the wound, he carefully carried Luo Qianqian to a chair and changed fresh dressing for the wound.
“Ouch —”, Luo Qianqian frowned when Murong Yun applied the ointment to the wound.
Murong Yun stopped, he looked at Luo Qianqian in the eye and said, “I’m so sorry I’ve let this happen to you, Qianqian… …”
“No, I was just messing with you, I’m feeling so much better already.” Luo Qianqian smiled at Murong Yun.
Murong Yun became more gentle, he stared at the wound and was lost in thought.
Luo Qianqian withdrew her wrist on noticing how distressed the man looked, she didn’t want the man to get worried.
“Qianqian, please don’t move.” said the man.
His tone was so gentle and controlled, it felt like he was worried he might startle this precious girl.
Luo Qianqian chuckled, “Murong Yun, I’m fine, I really am, stop looking at me like that.”
“This is all my fault.”
Luo Qianqian didn’t understand why Feng Qing and Murong Yun both like to take the blame that was clearly not theirs to take.
They did nothing but helping her, but they kept blaming themselves for there were bad people in the world?!
“Why are you saying that? This is clearly not your fault or Feng Qing’s.” Luo Qianqian asked.
“It’s kind of is mine though, I shouldn’t have moved a step from you when I know there are danger looming.”
That rendered Luo Qianqian speechless.
Luo Qianqian stroked Murong Yun’s face with affection, her heart turned soft when she saw the dark circles under Murong Yun’s eyes, “Murong Yun, how have you been? How are things turning out for you?”
‘Is he back just for me? Or is he back because he’s done with his business.’ Luo Qianqian wondered.
“Things are fine.” Murong Yun answered ambiguously.
‘So this means he is back just for me.’
Luo Qianqian wrapped her arms around Murong Yun’s neck and said, “Thank you so much for coming back, I’ve missed you.”
Murong Yun cuddled Luo Qianqian so tight and whispered at her ear, “Qianqian, being away from you is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Please go to Gu Village with me, I know you cannot practice martial arts for a month, go with me, I need you.”
“Gu Village?” Luo Qianqian was shocked, she just knew Murong Yun had left for the Imperial Noble Consort’s maiden family, but she had no idea the Imperial Noble Consort was from Gu Family.
“Yes, my mother’s maiden family.” Murong Yun fondled Luo Qianqian’a hair admiringly.
“Gu Family? One of the Three Families?”
Murong Yun nodded.
Luo Qianqian exclaimed in her heart, ‘Geez, why does the Imperial Noble Consort keep such a low profile!’
“Murong Yun, but why the Imperial Noble Consort was willing to enter the harem?”
“Mother just told me this was a secret that she doesn’t want to reveal.” Murong Yun sighed.
Luo Qianqian nodded in silence, she didn’t want to pursue this question any further, she didn’t want to make the Imperial Noble Consort or Murong Yun feel uncomfortable.
“But… but Murong Yun, is it proper to bring me with you?” Luo Qianqian didn’t want to distract Murong Yun from dealing with those tricky problems.
“Haha, anything I do is proper.” Murong Yun laughed, “Come on now, have some food first, we can discuss this later.”
Hearing that, Luo Qianqian nodded with a big smile, she just wanted to cherish every second when they were together.
