Chapter 60 Cathartics

“Look at your dirty clothes. The lake is clear. I’ll help you wash it!”

Li Mincan’s lips curved up in a slight smile, his handsome face was still red from embarrassment.

What?

After all this time, he wanted to help her wash clothes?

“Leave it. How can I let a grown man like you wash my clothes?”

After Feng Zhiyao heard this, she woke up from her drunken stupor. She quickly reached out her hand to stop him in embarrassment.

“I insist!”

He looked at her with burning eyes.

“Yao’er, it’s windy here. You can wear my clothes first to prevent getting cold. You can wear yours after I’ve washed and dried them with my inner energy!”

Li Mincan took the initiative to take off his outer garment and explained. His tone and expression were a bit more overbearing, but it was more of a pampering and doting attitude.

Feng Zhiyao put on his outer clothes and squatted on the green grass, held face in her hands as she watched Li Mincan squatting by the lake to wash her clothes. Her unpracticed movements made Feng Zhiyao secretly laugh several times in her heart.

“Mincan, I can actually go back and change my clothes. There’s no need to wash them now!”

Feng Zhiyao said with a smile.

“But you wear these clothes the most, it can be seen that you like wearing them the most!”

“Besides, this was just a small matter, and it would be over very soon!”

“Just wait for a while.”

Li Mincan said without turning his head back. However, hearing these words made Feng Zhiyao feel very warm.

Wait a minute, so he had feeling for her!

“Mincan, these clothes are very clean now!”

When Feng Zhiyao put on that pink butterfly dress again, a blush appeared on her cheeks, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

“This is the first time I’ve washed clothes.”

Li Mincan took his clothes and scratched the back of his head, his face was full of embarrassment. However, his handsome face quickly returned to normal.

“Thank you, Mincan!”

Feng Zhiyao lowered her eyebrows, her soft lips curved into a faint smile.

“Yao’er, cough …”

“You don’t need to thank me. That, the last time, a piece of jade with a phoenix carved on it, was that you who take it away?”

There was no questioning in his words, only teasing tone.

“No …”

“I’m not that kind of person!”

Of course, she wouldn’t admit it. That was the reward for saving him!

How could she give it back to him?

If she give it back, wouldn’t it be that she confessed without fighting?

“You really didn’t take it?”

“Then why did the jade mysteriously disappear?”

Li Mincan looked at her with a smile. His eyes were full of tender affection, without a trace of reproach!

“Of course!”

It was only logical that she didn’t admit it. After all, he didn’t have any proof!

Feng Zhiyao’s resolute and decisive reply made Li Mincan believe her a little bit more.

Following that, Feng Zhiyao even nodded vigorously, her smile was so devastatingly beautiful that Li Mincan was embarrassed to ask any more questions.

Li Mincanan looked at the slight smile on her lips and only felt that she was reserved and contained a hint of elegance. She was like a beautiful and elegant orchid, yet capable of captivating people’s souls.

“Eh, you don’t plan to go back?”

“Why are you looking at me in a daze?”

“Could it be that I have something dirty on my face? ”

Feng Zhiyao was surprised by his reaction.

“No, let’s go!”

At this hour, if you walk on foot, you don’t know how long it will be before you return. In that case, I will use my light skill to bring you back, then…

“I’m sorry!”

He hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Feng Zhiyao nodded and agreed, he then hugged her and lightly tapped on his feet. Like a butterfly, he quickly moved across the nearby low tiled eaves.

….

“Eldest Miss, you finally returned!”

“Just now, His Highness King of Jing sent people to ask many times if you had returned.”

When Zi Yun saw Feng Zhiyao appear in front of her eyes, she immediately put on a thankful expression.

“Yes, I’m back.”

Feng Zhiyao replied with a beaming smile.

“Eldest Miss, then should we send someone to report to King of Jing?”

Zi Yun asked subconsciously.

“Yes.”

Feng Zhiyao lowered her eyes to look at her dress, her eyes flashing with happiness.

The next morning, the magnificent morning mist broke through the thin clouds and scattered on the horizon. The mountains and waters were surrounded by a bright color, and the rolling mountains were becoming more and more mysterious.

In the dense bamboo forest, birds were flying. At this moment, the group with guards on the road were Xuanyuan Haoyu and the others.

A thousand soldiers in gray armor, five hundred cavalry in silver armor riding tall horses. The most eye-catching of them all was an exquisite carriage.

“Why don’t you two go out riding?”

Feng Zhiyao glared angrily at Xuanyuan Haoyu and Li Mincan.

“It’s too hot outside!”

“There’s icy plum juice here! ”

The corners of Xuanyuan Haoyu’s lips lifted slightly. His smile was graceful, appearing amiable and proper, but upon closer inspection, something didn’t seem right.

“Yeah, it’s too hot outside!”

Li Mincan agreed, but in his heart, he wanted to cry out injustice. It was all because of His Highness himself being afraid of the heat, Li Mincan had to follow him.

“Well, then, I’ll go out on my own!”

Feng Zhiyao was furious, but she was unable to react. After all, he was the son of the emperor!

“No, if your skin is tanned, Prime Minister Feng would think that I have failed to take care of you!”

Xuanyuan Haoyu stretched out his hand to stop her from stepping out.

“Oh, all right!”

Feng Zhiyao thought that they really liked ice-cold plum juice, so she took advantage of their inattention and poured three people’s worth of cathartics into a whole pot of plum juice!

Fortunately, she had foresight and had gotten quite a lot of medicine from Ye Weiyang.

Seeing that she didn’t sigh, but only curled her lips into a smile, Xuanyuan Haoyu calmly raised his pretty eyebrows, a trace of interest flashing through his phoenix eyes.

Compromised so quickly?

“Zhiyao, the last time Bai Fu said ‘Beauty under the Moon’ was written by you. Now it’s boring, why don’t you sing that song for us?”

Xuanyuan Haoyu’s tone was light and casual.

“This …”

“This …”

“Dammit, Xuanyuan Haoyu, I’ll kill you later!”

Hearing this, Feng Zhiyao had the urge to strangle Xuanyuan Haoyu to death.

“Alright, then before I sing, I’ll drink some iced plum juice to moisturize my throat. Hur Hur, you guys drink some as well.”

Feng Zhiyao giggled.

A beauty’s smile was very persuasive!

Naturally, the two of them did not refuse and drank quite a lot.

Just when Feng Zhiyao wanted to sing, their faces turned pale.

“Just, stop singing. I have to go!”

Xuanyuan Haoyu felt his stomach churning. He waved his hand at Feng Zhiyao, then quickly lifted the carriage’s curtain and jumped down.

“Here, mincan, hee hee, it’s been hard on you!”

When Feng Zhiyao saw Xuanyuan Haoyu jump off the carriage, she quickly grabbed Li Mincan, who was about to jump off the carriage, and apologetically took out an antidote.

“You, he, did you do it?”

After Li Mincan took the antidote and swallowed it, he felt much better. After a while, he asked with a puzzled look in his eyes.

“En!”

“He shouldn’t take over my sleeping space!”

Feng Zhiyao readily admitted her mistake, not feeling the slightest bit of guilt.
