Jiang Chenbi was still stubbornly staying at the Mu Manor. Every day, she would stick her butt out with a cold face. Because of her pride, Mu Yu Ting couldn't stay too far away from her, but she wasn't willing to be disgusted by her for nothing. Therefore, she took the bitter pill with her every day to force her to take it.
Every morning and every night, Mu Yu Ting would go to her own room. Jiang Chen could not help but tremble from the pain he felt when he saw Mu Yu Ting.
"Miss, how long do you intend to keep this going?" The Blue Luan carried the empty plate and followed closely behind Mu Qiuting. Although it was extremely comfortable to watch Jiang Chen being abused by Mu Lutong every day, but as time passed, no matter how happy he was, he would get tired of it.
"That depends on how long younger sister Jiang can last." Mu Yu Ting squinted her beautiful eyes. In the past few days, she had found some benefits from this. That person was Jiang Chenbi. She could help her control Xiao Zhen.
Asking that bastard to come and bother her everyday, she also wouldn't let him off easily. It would be best if both of them moved out of the Mu residence at the same time. She would have to thank the heavens for that.
However, the smile on Mu Yu Ting's face didn't last long before it froze on the corner of her mouth. He saw a man dressed in black sitting in the courtyard of the manor. He was smiling as he looked in her direction, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Prince, why have you come here?" Even though she had been visiting the Rain Pavilion quite a few times recently, she still couldn't get familiar with her.
"This King only came to patrol a little and see if you were properly researching the antidote." I never thought that I would coincidentally bump into you going out. " Even though there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, the depths of her eyes were ice-cold when she said those words.
"Your Highness, you must know. [I don't only have you as my patient. Jiang Chen is also my target.] Mu Yu Ting was confused by Xiao Chen's unfathomable anger.
What was this fellow doing in the middle of the day?
"However, Miss Mu has been out too often recently. This King has encountered this kind of thing several times in a row." The chilliness in Xiao Chen's eyes deepened. "This prince suspects that Miss Mu has not been studying the antidote."
Since a long time ago, Xiao Cheng had changed the way she was addressed. Now that the word "Miss Mu" suddenly popped out again, Mu Yuting was unexpectedly not used to it. She only felt that the relationship between the two of them had widened.
"I've been really busy these days, I didn't mean to be perfunctory." Mu Yu Ting's tone couldn't help but stiffen a bit.
"Can't spare the time?" Xiao Chen chuckled. His eyes dimmed as he said with a hint of ridicule, "I think it's Miss Mu that you're not in the mood to study this matter!"
Mu Yu Ting subconsciously wanted to retort, but she didn't know how to respond. She did have such thoughts in her heart, but she had thought that she had hidden it well. She did not expect it to be seen through with a single glance.
Seeing that her pretty face was slightly flushed from holding in her anger, Xiao Yan sighed softly in his heart. His expression turned even more grim as he left without saying anything else.
He didn't return to the Clear Wind Pavilion and instead left the Mu Estate straight for the palace. When Eunuch Li saw Xiao Chen, he was slightly surprised. "Why is the third prince here?"
"I wonder if royal father is free, this son has something he wishes to ask royal father." Eunuch Li saw the seriousness in Xiao Chen's tone and hurried into the hall to report to him. He was also ordered to invite him in.
The emperor placed the imperial edict on the writing table. He rubbed his glabella tiredly and asked, "Wasn't Zhan`er healing in the Mu Manor recently? Why did she come to the palace today? Are you feeling better?"
"Reporting to royal father, this son has already recovered most of his health. The reason for my visit this time, is mainly to request a favor from royal father. " Xiao Cheng did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"What is it?"
"Your son has discovered that Prime Minister Mu's medical skill is astonishing and seems to be able to treat the blood Gu within your son's body. From today onwards, I wish to officially enter the Mu Estate until Miss Mu is done treating the poison within your son's body." As if what he said was just a very ordinary little matter.
When the Emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment. The look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Chen was unfathomable. After searching Xiao Cheng's face for a moment, he saw no special expression. "Zhan`er, will you bring trouble to Miss Mu by doing this?"
Although Mu Yu Ting had excellent medical skills, she was still a girl that hadn't left the pavilion yet. If the news of Xiao Cheng entering the Mu Estate because of Mu Baiting was spread out, it would undoubtedly affect her reputation.
"Father, don't worry. This son has asked for Miss Mu's opinion and has already obtained her consent." Xiao Cheng's expression did not change as he continued, "After Miss Mu heard about this, she expressed her willingness to work for the Imperial Family."
"So it's like that." Although the emperor slightly nodded his head, on the surface, he still seemed to be skeptical. "If that's really the case, then I have no reason to make a decision."
"Thank you, Imperial Father, for your grace." Xiao Shan was not surprised by this reply. "I would like to request Imperial Father to pass down the decree so that this matter can be carried out in a fair and square manner, thus reducing the amount of gossip that people are discussing."
The Emperor nodded his head. Since Xiao Chen had nothing else to report, he left the main hall in a good mood and happily went back to pack his things.
Although he had been recuperating at the Mu Manor for a period of time, because it was temporary, he only brought a few items with him. Right now, he needed to stay in the Mu Estate for a long period of time. Naturally, he needed to tidy up a bit.
"Master, why do you care so much about Miss Mu? Why do you want to protect her so closely?" Isn't it enough to leave a shadow as a guard? " He had been struggling with this issue the entire way, and now, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
He knew he was wrong to say so, but the confusion was too great. Even though the prince didn't say it on the surface, as someone who had followed by his side for such a long time, how could they not understand his intentions?
Although the prince's treatment was an excuse, it was mostly to protect Miss Mu. His Royal Highness' actions had occurred after Young Master Han became an official. He was worried that Jiang Chenbi and Han Shengyuan would join hands again.
"Of course it's because Miss Mu can cure Ben Wang's illness. Otherwise, why would Ben Wang go through so much trouble for?" It was obvious that Xiao Zhan did not take these words to heart as he watched his servants carry his belongings to the carriage.
"But Your Highness, before, when we didn't have Miss Mu, you were perfectly fine. Furthermore, even if she is required to treat your illness, there is no need for you to personally watch over her. "
She coughed lightly as her face darkened. "Mo, when did you have the guts to hit me like this? You even dare to criticize me, so why don't you move the items away?"
How could he dare to retort? He could only obediently accept the order.
