Nangong Lin had just treated Xiao Chengyi's injuries.

Thus, before Xiao Chengyi even had the time to put on the clothes that he had taken off, Mu Qianyu had unhesitatingly barged in.

Sui Yang was still holding onto his clothes, planning to help the master change her clothes, when he saw that Mu Qianyu had appeared in front of his eyes, he opened his eyes wide: "Lady Mu, why did you come in just like that?"

"Why can't I come in?"

When Mu Qianyu entered, she saw Xiao Chengyi sitting on the bed with his upper body naked, and did not feel anything.

Is it that strange for a man to be bare-chested?

She forgot that this wasn't strange in the Modern Realm, but in the ancient times, it wasn't good to see a man bare-chested while a woman hadn't come out of a pavilion.

Sui Yang was unable to explain anything.

He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the Mu Qianyu who did not have any shyness at all. Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind, was it because Lady Mu had already fallen for the Duke and was in a hurry to marry the Duke, so he did not mind?

Xiao Chengyi also did not expect Mu Qianyu to suddenly barge in.

It was fine that she barged in, but why did she have to ask Sui Yang why wasn't he able to enter when she saw him in such a state?

Not only that, Mu Qianyu had even walked in front of him in an open manner as she tilted her head to take a closer look at's wounds.

However, after he finished looking at his wounds, his gaze once again fell upon his body.

He swept his gaze from his strong chest all the way to his abdomen, not avoiding the gaze at all. Furthermore, he was looking at it seriously.

No matter how good his Prince Li's mental fortitude was, it was broken by this young lady's boldness.

Mu Qianyu stared straight at him, but she didn't feel anything. On the contrary, Xiao Chengyi's face was a little red.

Was she admiring his figure?

Sui Yang opened his mouth wide, and was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

He forcefully swallowed his saliva. Why did it feel like Lady Mu's gaze was going to eat her master alive?

"Here, give some ointment to your master."

Mu Qianyu looked at it for a long time before suddenly pointing at the dark red scratches on her right abdomen, and said to Sui Yang.

Xiao Chengyi instantly understood that she was actually looking for the place where she had injured him.

But there was no need to look at him so seriously.

He felt that he really couldn't understand some of Mu Qianyu's actions sometimes.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Sui Yang was still stunned.

Xiao Chengyi frowned and coughed a few times.

Sui Yang immediately regained his senses, and quickly took his clothes to help Xiao Chengyi change.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly stopped in his tracks, and giggled while looking at Mu Qianyu: "Lady Mu, why don't you come?"

He felt that he should create opportunities for his master and the Lady Mu.

"You have no hands?"

Mu Qianyu frowned, didn't you take your clothes with you, why would you want me to come?

"Yes!"

Sui Yang's face stiffened, his expression immediately turned bitter as he answered helplessly.

However, just as he turned his head, Xiao Chengyi reached out his uninjured hand and slapped the back of his head fiercely.

Receiving the warning from his master, Sui Yang did not dare to cause any more trouble and quickly helped his master put on his clothes.

"Why must you save me? You would rather be injured than save me. Is it because you like me?"

Mu Qianyu found a place to sit down and started speaking without any hesitation.

Such a bold and direct question made Sui Yang only want to silently scram.

The Lady Mu was too bold.

But he also wanted to stay and hear Master's answer.

Xiao Chengyi was unavoidably shocked by her words.

For a moment, he didn't know how to reply.

Do you like it?

He didn't know either. He had never liked anyone, so he didn't know what it was like to like.

I just don't want her to get hurt.

Although this girl had an eccentric personality and was cold towards others, he still didn't want her to be harmed.

He didn't know why, but he instinctively wanted to protect her.

Therefore, even if Mu Qianyu were to ask him this question now, he didn't know how to answer it.

Seeing him in a daze, Mu Qianyu thought for a moment and said: "I don't believe in feelings. I believe that Prince did not save me because you liked me.

She thought for a long time, and when she saw Xiao Chengyi not saying anything, she knew that he did not like her.

Maybe it was a friend. He just didn't want his friend to get hurt.

Therefore, Mu Qianyu continued: "I don't have any friends, and I don't know how to be kind to others, but I will never forget the Duke's kindness in saving my life, so I will definitely repay you in the future."

With that, he stood up and looked at Xiao Chengyi: "Please rest."

Without waiting for Xiao Chengyi to react, she had already disappeared.

"He left just like that?"

Sui Yang looked outside in a daze, touched his head and said: "Why is Lady Mu like this, she actually doesn't like the Duke."

He thought that Lady Mu had already fallen for the Prince, but in the end, it was not, he could not help but be disappointed.

"Sui Yang?"

Xiao Chengyi's voice suddenly came from behind.

Sui Yang felt that something was wrong, and answered guiltily, "Yes, this subordinate is here."

"Aren't you talking too much?"

There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Sui Yang grinned, "Master, I will go and bring you the ginseng soup. The ginseng soup should be ready."

With that, he left.

Do you like it?

After Sui Yang left, Xiao Chengyi leaned on the bed, looking at the wound on his arm with squinted eyes, quietly thinking about the question Mu Qianyu threw him.

But after knowing her for such a short period of time, could she even talk about liking her?

If it weren't for the Seven-colored Lotus, perhaps he wouldn't have interacted much with her.

Could it be that everything was heaven's will?

"Miss, do you want the cloth from the palace?"

After returning to her own courtyard, Mu Qianyu started to ask Yue Zhu for clothes and materials from the palace.

"Yes."

Mu Qianyu nodded and added, "The clothes of your Duke."

"Miss, do you want to make clothes for the prince?"

Yue Zhu suddenly understood.

It was just that all of the prince's clothes were made by the mama of the palace, so they didn't need to be made by the people of the estate at all.

"Yes."

Mu Qianyu responded faintly.

Xiao Chengyi asked her to compensate him with a set of robes.

Then she could just make one for him, but he definitely wouldn't wear ordinary clothes.

Thinking that there should be materials gifted down from the palace, she decided to ask for it from Yue Zhu.

Yue Zhu could not make the decision for this matter, she was not someone that Sui Yang and Lin Ze could meddle in the matters of the palace or the Prince's matters.

She couldn't move even the tribute in the storeroom.

So she went to find Sui Yang.

Sui Yang had just ran out from Xiao Chengyi's place, and when he heard that Mu Qianyu was going to make clothes for his master, he happily ran back home.

"Your Highness, this Lady Mu wants to make a set of clothes for you. He wants to use the materials bestowed by the palace.

In fact, Sui Yang understood in his heart that the Duke would naturally be willing to handle this matter. It was just that he insisted on coming here to ask for permission, so he wanted to see Master's reaction.

When Xiao Chengyi, who had just closed his eyes to rest, heard this, he suddenly opened them and looked at Sui Yang suspiciously.

He was stunned for a moment and then immediately understood what was going on. He could not help but smile.
