It was currently the beginning of winter. With a sweep of the cold air, plum trees were blossomed. The plum fragrance mixed with the winter mist was both delicate and ethereal.
In this jade fog, under the scattered shadows of the cold plum blossoms, there was a moon-white robe. Standing on the plum tree, there was a smile on his face as he looked at Mu Wan.
From afar, he looked like a plum petal falling to the ground.
However, his face was ghastly pale and devoid of blood. Although he was standing, Mu Wan Yun could see that he was completely holding on. If not for this plum tree, he would have fallen long ago.
"Ruan Chu!"
Mu Wan Yun shouted anxiously.
Rong Chu smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, but I knew that the Duke of Jin had become the Emperor of the Great Qin. I had provoked Shangguan Fei outside and had no way to hide from you."
Even though he was injured so badly, he was still glib.
Mu Wan had always known that he had this kind of character. He was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. She went to him and held him. She wanted to pinch him.
She suddenly raised her eyes, only to see a look of tolerance in her eyes. She turned around and saw that it was Leaves!
Her face was covered with a black veil, and she was standing not far away. She was looking in this direction, and her gaze was fixated on the injuries on Rong Chu's body.
"Ye-zi!" Mu Wan's shout startled Ye Wen, so she slowly walked over.
As for Mu Wanyun, he felt the strange gazes from the two people beside him intersecting with each other.
There was a quiet and secluded palace near the pavilion. This palace was very close to the Mansion of Huanan Palace, which was the same as the garden at the back of the hall.
Mu Wan Yun lived here, so the others would stay far away. This place was relatively safer and quieter.
It's the best place to rest.
If it wasn't for his outstanding lightness skills, he would have long been chased down the path he came from. Perhaps he would have also died at the hands of the hidden guards in the morning.
When he saw Mu Wan and Ye Wen, he knew that he was safe. He relaxed in one breath and immediately fainted.
Mu Huanyun found the herbs and wrapped the wound together with Leaves. He lay down on the bed in peace.
Mu Wan Yun and Ye Wen were already exhausted and sweating profusely.
The two of them sat against the bed. Mu Huanyun wiped her forehead with the back of her hand and started to think rapidly. Did that mean she could hurt Chu Feng so badly?
Her and Rong Chu's friend of many years knew a lot about his cultivation and martial arts. In fact, there weren't many people in the entire Mystic Moon world that could hurt him. Even if he couldn't win, in terms of running, there was no one left who could outdo him.
It was definitely strange that he had sustained such heavy injuries.
She glanced over and saw Leaves seemed to be thinking the same thing.
They looked at each other, and Leaves revealed her thoughts, "There's definitely more than one person chasing after him."
This was something Murong Yun agreed to because there were many wounds on Chu's body, some light and some heavy. There were knife wounds and some sword wounds. The most fatal was the arrow that pierced his chest, almost piercing through his body. Mu Wanyun clearly saw that if this arrow had deviated by even a little bit, then Chu Feng's life would have definitely been lost on the spot!
Where would he be able to escape to here?
Although he said that he had offended the emperor, it was definitely impossible for him to do so. At the same time, he was also shocked by who exactly was it that was able to force Chu Tianxiong to hide within the Great Qin Imperial Palace.
Once, Jin Yu Lie had asked her if she knew of Chu Lian's true identity, but Mu Wanyun had said she didn't. He was friends with him, and even though they weren't normally close, they definitely had a life-or-death friendship at a critical moment.
It's not only men and men who have that kind of relationship. They had deep feelings for each other, but they were definitely not involved in any relationships between men and women.
Even though he often said that Mu Wanyun couldn't find anyone to marry, he was reluctant to have her marry him, and Mu Wanyun often used all sorts of insults to hit him.
However, if anyone was in danger, the remaining people would definitely risk their lives to save them.
It was even under this kind of relationship that Mu Yun never asked Rong Chu about his true identity. Everyone had their own secrets.
But when Jin Yu Lie brought it up, Mu Huanzhi paid more attention. Thinking of the past, she could guess his identity.
Leaves said, to be able to hurt Chu Feng like this, it was definitely a well-trained death soldier, and the number of them was huge.
Could it be them?
Mu Wan Yun looked at the unconscious Rong Chu and had some doubts. It seemed that there was a need to wait for him to wake up, so that he could get to the bottom of it.
However, Mu Yunji never expected that the arrival of Chu Feng would cause her to discover a small secret of Ye.
Ye Wen and Rong Chu had met before in the Kunlun Mountains. Once, they had eaten the food made by Ye Wen. The two men, one big and one small, expressed that they would rather go on a hunger strike than to eat the food made by Ye Wen.
But later, only Ammu was left to clamor. She silently cooked or put countless salty and putrid dishes on the leaves, or forgot to add salt and tasteless soup.
Mu Huanyun knew that he had always advocated among the tens of thousands of flowers. The appearance of the dead flowers seemed to have changed. His gaze would always, intentionally or unintentionally, stay on Leaves' body by a few points.
Mu Yunji secretly smiled, it turned out that he also had a time of enlightenment.
However, Leaves seemed to mind her dark and bloody past …
It took him ten days to get up from the bed. He's a little better. These days, Mu Wan Yun had taken care of him in every way possible.
Jin Yu Lie was still extremely busy.
Since she was almost done, she felt that she should give Leaves a chance.
Under her encouragement, Leaves made a bowl of life-threatening soup called Swallow's Nest.
Fortunately, she was prepared and had found a chance to change it. Otherwise, if it wasn't for the fact that Rong Chu had fallen into a state where his love intelligence was zero, he would have died a miserable death.
Leaves hesitated three times, but she still carried the cup to the pavilion's Birch Pavilion.
Today was the rare good weather since the beginning of winter. Rong Chu was wearing a white robe as he basked in the sun in the courtyard.
When Leaves came in, she only saw him smiling from the corner of his eyes.
Compared to him, Leaves was like night while he was like sunlight. However, Mu Yunji was a bit worried. If she allowed the heat to burn like light, could it illuminate the darkness in Ye Wen's heart and melt the frost in his heart?
Or maybe the two of them being together was a perfect match for each other.
For example, Jin Yu Lie!
Thinking to this point, Mu Wan Yun remembered that he hadn't seen Jin Yu Lie in ten days. She had previously thrown Ammu into the Vermillion Bird Courtyard to cause trouble while she headed for the True Sun Hall.
"Why aren't you resting?" Leaves remained expressionless, but her hands were trembling as she held the tray. She quickly placed the tray on the stone table beside Rong Chu. "This soup has been prepared for you. Drink it while it's still warm."
"You made it yourself?"
Leaves clicked her tongue.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Rong Chu's face. He had just been caught red-handed by Leaves.
"What is it? I don't want to. I won't force you, I'll take it. "
"Don't!" Rong Chu swallowed his saliva and said, "I happen to be a bit hungry." He opened the lid of the cup, picked up the cup and took a big gulp.
He chuckled, "I'm really hungry. Ye-zi, you came just in time." As he spoke, he raised his head and gulped down the entire cup of soup.
He knew that this was Mu Yunji's handiwork. He had known her for so many years, at least he knew her craftsmanship.
It should have been Mu Wanyun secretly exchanging for it. As expected, Mu Wan was good enough!
He wanted to say something to her, but she turned and left without a word.
"Where are you going?"
"Rest well." Her words were cold, her tone was cold, and her entire body was cold. However, those who knew her would understand that she was angry.
Junchu shrugged and watched her go.
He leaned against the reclining chair, his brows furrowed too tightly. As the saying goes, a woman's heart is as deep as the sea. What was she thinking? He had no idea at all. He could only sigh as he looked at her departing back.
Suddenly, Rong Chu's ears twitched as he said, "Come out. I know you're here. "
With that, Amu stuck his head out from behind a rock garden in the yard. He shook his head with a disappointed expression and said, "You really failed."
"Little Ammu, what are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about you!" Amu tilted his head and looked at Rong Chu. "Let me ask you, is the soup delicious?"
Rong Chu suddenly smiled, and blurted out: "Of course, Mu Yunyun's cooking skills … This is bad! "
The moment the words left his mouth, he immediately understood what had happened. No wonder Leaves was so angry.
Ye's cooking skill had always been …
But just now, he drank the soup so happily that Ye Wen naturally understood that Mu Yunji had swapped the soup for it. This would have hurt her self-esteem! This was a huge blow.
"You should know that Auntie Ye spent a lot of effort to make a bowl of soup. It's just that Mommy was worried that your old injuries had not fully healed and that you had food poisoning, so she was kind enough to trade for you. Uncle Chu Rong, you're dead. Offending a woman will only result in a miserable death!"
"I …"
Mu Wan came to the Imperial study room. The Imperial study room was now twice the size of Chunyu Hong's Imperial study room, but it had many windows and skylights!
There was no strong ambergris in the air. The breeze blew in the fragrance of the plum blossoms outside, giving off a pleasant fragrance.
The arrangement of the study was arranged by her personally, and from the looks of it, it seemed to be quite effective.
Outside the study, she specially made a cornice with a pipe. In the summer, it could attract spring water to circulate the heat. It could be said that she had already considered everything that she could think of for Jin Lie.
"Ah Lie!"
The moment she appeared, the dark guards outside wouldn't stop her. She could just go in and wait for further notice.
After entering, Jin Yu Lie was still buried in the thick report.
She frowned when she saw him busy. "Is there really so much to do?" Her heart ached for her man. Those people wouldn't think of a way to stay any longer and intentionally tire him to death?
She did not understand that there were also countless things on Zuo Chenfeng's desk, which seemed to be resting at home.
When Jin Yu Lie saw her, he put down the brush in his hand, "You're here. He's all right. "
Mu Wan was stunned, then he knew that what he said was true! After allowing Chu to stay in the Imperial Palace for a full ten days, it was impossible for Jin Yu Lie to not know about it with his ability. He did not state it explicitly, but also indicated that he did not object.
"He's better now, but do you know who hurt him?"
