Chapter 39

Thinking of the night of the assassination, Mu Shuiqing, who was eating lunch, became more and more uneasy. She snatched Ji Xiaomo's crutches, quickly called a carriage, and drove back to Yipin Tea Pavilion.

Mu Shuiqing grabbed the crutch very quickly, and by the time Ji Xiaomo realized it, she had already walked away.He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed repeatedly.He didn't even realize that his body was completely unaware of Mu Shuiqing's sudden attack.

"Bai Ye, follow her."

"My lord, this..." Bai Ye was always protecting Ji Xiaomo's safety, so he was a little stunned when he heard the master's order.After a while, he said sternly: "My lord is still seriously injured, and my subordinates don't want to leave."

Before, Ji Xiaomo sent Mo Hua to monitor Mu Shuiqing, but now that Mo Hua is out, Ji Xiaomo is very worried about Mu Shuiqing jumping around alone.He pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go. Green Bamboo!"

Seeing that the prince and his sweetheart had left, Bai Ye could only follow obediently.

"Princess, what's the matter with your leg? Why are you on crutches?" Ning Shuang, who was greeting the guests, saw Mu Shuiqing walking limping on crutches, and hurried out to greet her, and helped Mu Shuiqing in.

"Is the Yipin Tea Pavilion okay?" Mu Shuiqing looked around with concern, everything in the Yipin Tea Pavilion was safe and sound, obviously that day when he was avoiding the assassin's pursuit, the tables and chairs were turned upside down, and the flowers and plants in the garden were cut into uneven layers .But at this time, there was a lot of voices, the tables and chairs were arranged neatly, the house was full of tea fragrance, the lawn outside the house was tidy, and the flowers were beautiful.It is completely impossible to see that a thrilling assassination took place here the night before yesterday.If it weren't for the tingling pain in the soles of her feet at this time, Mu Shuiqing would have thought that everything was a dream of hers.

"Princess, don't worry, it's all right." Ning Shuang helped Mu Shuiqing to the nearest armchair, stuffed a soft pillow behind her, and asked with concern, "Princess was coming yesterday, I thought she went to other shops to investigate. , it turned out to be injured. Why did the princess hurt her leg?"

Didn't they know the assassin came that night?Maybe Ji Xiaomo suppressed this matter and prepared to investigate it privately, not wanting to alert the mastermind behind the scenes.

Seeing that Yipin Tea Pavilion was completely fine, Mu Shuiqing breathed a sigh of relief.The originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and Mu Shuiqing found out that his whole body was extremely sore with a bitter face. "I accidentally fell when I returned home last night and hurt my leg. It's okay, it will be fine in a few days."

When Mu Shuiqing said this, there was a burst of laughter not far away.Mu Shuiqing looked over after hearing the reputation, and saw a man dressed in red lazily leaning on the chair, looking at her with his head slightly tilted, gently shaking the orange juice in his hand with his slender fingers.

The man in front of me was none other than the red-clothed man who had saved her life and quickly left her missing that night. At that time, Mu Shuiqing didn't take a closer look at it. Now that he took a closer look, he found that he was still wearing A few days ago, the elegant red long gown, now the collar has faded back slightly, revealing half of the white neck, which is delicate and smooth.

"Staring at me for so long, are you falling in love with my handsome, suave lifesaver?" He said, raising his eyebrows on purpose, stroking his chin, and posing in a smug pose.

His eyebrows are long and narrow, and his eyebrows are slightly curved, soft and delicate. These are not pure peach blossom eyes.The long hair was not crowned, but loosely scattered.When he smiled evilly, the corners of his slightly raised mouth showed a faintly seductive charm.Originally, she had a monstrous face and was wearing a red dress!He is simply a coquettish peach blossom man!

"You, you!" Mu Shuiqing raised his finger and pointed at him, remembering the scene when he left himself behind, he said "you" several times in a fit of frustration.

"But Wangfei, don't worry, Shen is not interested in a married woman like Wangfei!" He quietly drank a cup of tea, and then showed his extremely white teeth.

What a big narcissist...

Mu Shuiqing originally wanted to say a few words of thanks, but seeing him being so affectionate, she snorted and turned her head to ignore him.

Seeing his lifesaver being left aside indifferently by Mu Shuiqing, Shen Mo twitched the corners of his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked at Mu Shuiqing carefully again.The princess looks beautiful, but her temper seems to be very bad, and she is very stingy.Why does the prince care so much about such a woman... and he is not allowed to make trouble...

Shen Mo secretly smiled secretly.The more you forbid him to come, the more he wants to come!
Because he has already discovered an interesting thing - the boring prince who is calm about everything actually has someone who cares, and that person is sent by the head of the enemy, Ji Hengyuan...

That day, the prince disappeared, not in the palace, not in the Yixian Tower, not even in some other places he frequented.Qingzhu, who got the news from Bai Ye, hurriedly found Shen Mo, hoping that he could use some people to find the next prince.There can't be any big disturbances in the Wangfu, because there are too many detailed arrangements.

That's why Shen Mo rescued Mu Shuiqing by accident that day.But he came here to save the prince, so when he learned that the prince was seriously injured and collapsed in the alley, he left Mu Shuiqing behind and hurried over.

At this time, Ji Xiaomozhong's Ruanjin powder had just failed, he stood up covering his seriously injured shoulder, and ran towards Mu Shuiqing with internal strength despite his poor body.

Isn't this intriguing? !

After the assassin was dealt with, looking at the messy Yipin Tea Pavilion, the prince even ordered someone to clean it up and restore it to its original state. Shen Mo was amazed by his cautious appearance. When he asked Bai Ye, he found out about the Yipin Tea Pavilion. Every layout was made by Mu Shuiqing, that's why the prince was so nervous, as if he was afraid that Mu Shuiqing's painstaking efforts would be ruined.

Is this still the prince he knew? !Last night, Bai Ye complained angrily to him, saying, "My lord was deprived of his soul by the witch, and he was restless all day long to recover from his illness. He stayed by her bedside and changed her dressing and bandage."Looking at it now, it seems that Bai Ye has really hit the mark.

"Princess..." Said the prince, and the prince arrived.With the support of Qingzhu, Ji Xiaomo came in with a clear cough, he was wearing a white shirt, his pale face became fairer, his beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled into a line, "The dishes are cold, follow me back home. "

At this moment, Mu Shuiqing couldn't tell what she felt, but she felt warm in her heart. Before she could react, she had already ran over leaning on crutches.She smiled and said: "The porridge and side dishes are really unappetizing, can you put more meat on it!" She weakly shoved the crutch into Ji Xiaomo's hand, after all, she was the one who snatched his crutch...

Shen Mo twitched the corners of his mouth when he was talking about eating meat or not in public, but he turned his head hastily, lest Ji Xiaomo see him.

Ji Xiaomo glanced at Mu Shuiqing, and said angrily, "You just woke up and haven't eaten a few meals, so you can't eat as heavy as you used to...it's not good for your stomach..."

Under Mu Shuiqing's wailing, Ji Xiaomo leaned on a cane in one hand, and casually stretched out the other hand towards Mu Shuiqing. He glanced at Shen Mo who was peeking with his fan covering his face, and gave a slight warning, as if not to allow it. He's messing around.Afterwards, he held Mu Shuiqing's hand silently and casually, and turned his face slightly, not daring to look at Mu Shuiqing.

Because of the pain in her feet, Mu Shuiqing didn't expect how much courage Ji Xiaomo took to hold her hand. She thought that Ji Xiaomo was kind enough to help her, so she naturally took Ji Xiaomo's arm and pressed her body weight past.Ji Xiaomo's movements froze in mid-air, his slender and fair fingers slowly closed again, and his thin mouth tensed into a line.

Mu Shuiqing raised his head, tightly hugging Ji Xiaomo's arm, biting his lip and tearing up, looking very pitiful: "My lord, can I only eat porridge and side dishes these days? "She only regrets that there is no handkerchief beside her so that she can bite it like a little daughter-in-law...

Mu Shuiqing leaned over softly, hugging him very tightly, Ji Xiaomo didn't dodge or resist, grabbed her groping paw, and held it in the palm of his hand without any trace: "Okay, I'll let him Qingzhu has prepared your favorite food, go home." When Mu Shuiqing heard this, she immediately behaved and followed Ji Xiaomo back home without realizing that along the way, her right paw had been being scratched. The other party held it in the palm of the hand, warm, with the sound of the other party's heartbeat gradually accelerating. .

After sitting upright at the dinner table, Mu Shuiqing realized that he had been cheated again!What she likes to eat is prepared, but it's just a little minced meat on the porridge!And it's not enough for her to get between her teeth!This stingy prince!Mu Shuiqing withdrew his hand angrily, originally wanting to go on a hunger strike.But her stomach was growling, and she started to move her chopsticks very uncomfortably.

Ji Xiaomo saw that Mu Shuiqing turned his head and ignored him, sighed a few times, and sat beside her to prepare to eat.It's just that the prince, who had just withdrawn his thoughts from the person beside him, realized that his shoulders were in pain, and the movement just now had pulled the unhealed wound again.Ever since he met Mu Shuiqing, he has been recovering from illness every now and then... What a sinful fate...

While Mu Shuiqing was bitterly drinking thin porridge, Ji Xiaomo took off his clothes without hesitation. He was shirtless, the bloody wound on his shoulder had already been covered, and the bruises reflected the white and smooth skin around him. The skin looks particularly shocking.Such an ugly scar, I don't know if it will leave a scar...

Thinking that he had caused Ji Xiaomo to suffer so much, Mu Shuiqing asked with concern: "My lord, how is your injury? Does it still hurt?"

Mu Shuiqing's sudden concern made Ji Xiaomo a little lighthearted, he nodded and smiled, "It's okay." He was in a good mood and made several vegetarian dishes for Mu Shuiqing, and told her to eat more to keep healthy.

Seeing that Ji Xiaomo was in a good mood, Mu Shuiqing, who was originally full of flesh and blood, frowned and smiled like a fox: "My lord, do you still remember our agreement? If I am still alive, I will give me a monthly increase! Because The courtiers and concubines have meritorious service..."

Ji Xiaomo pretended not to hear, and lowered his head to concentrate on applying the medicine to himself.

Seeing that Ji Xiaomo did not refute, Mu Shuiqing boldly said: "How about 100 taels a month?" She snatched the medicine bottle from his hand, moved a chair and sat beside Ji Xiaomo.

Mu Shuiqing was very close to him, smeared a little ointment with his slender and nimble fingers, and gently applied it to the wound on Ji Xiaomo's shoulder, fanning his eyelashes like butterfly wings: "Good lord~ Handsome lord~ My concubine! You have earned so much money, let’s share more with your concubines... 100 taels or more, how about 70 taels? The prince is not the kind of cheapskate who does not keep his promise..." I touch... I touch... If you don't agree, I'll poke your wound!
After the high hat was buttoned, Ji Xiaomo shook his head helplessly: "Okay, but you are not allowed to go out of the house for half a month, and you need to rest at ease." The medicine applied to the wound is refreshing and cool, very comfortable, and Ji Xiaomo enjoys it He narrowed his eyes.

"Okay!" Isn't it just lying down for a few days, it's that simple.She also wants to get well as soon as possible, because it is too painful not to be able to walk.

Ji Xiaomo carefully told Mu Shuiqing to lie on the bed and recover from his injuries. The shop is already on the right track, and everything is in the hands of the manager. Mu Shuiqing only needs to count the silver every day until his hand cramps, and live a leisurely life of rice bugs.

Mu Shuiqing, who lay dead on the bed on the first day, sighed, feeling extremely pitiful.Seeing Mu Shuiqing lazily lying on the bed, Ji Xiaomo was very bored, and proposed to play chess to relieve boredom, but Mu Shuiqing vetoed it with a black face.

He sighed, and ordered Qingzhu to take a lot of piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings from the bookstore, and books on poetry, poetry and Fu to relieve Mu Shuiqing's boredom, and he also took a few others to lie beside her and read with her.

I thought that Mu Shuiqing, who was sighing and sighing, would interfere with his reading, but this scene of reading next to each other from morning till night made Ji Xiaomo feel very happy. He could read only ten pages, but he couldn't hide his good mood.

In consideration of recuperating, a thick blanket was laid on the hard bed.It was very warm and comfortable to sleep on.Mu Shuiqing fell asleep leaning on Ji Xiaomo's shoulder after reading a few pages, drooling, kicking the quilt, and hugging him, yelling and rubbing against him.

His slender fingers slowly slid across the pages of the book in his hand. From the corner of his eye, Mu Shuiqing's swollen face was seen. In the past few days, he ordered Qingzhu to nourish her body and stewed a lot of tonics. In an instant, Mu Shuiqing became fatter. .The quilt slid down slightly, revealing half of Mu Shuiqing's fair neck and rosy collarbone.

Seeing her talking nonsense again, Ji Xiaomo lowered his head and listened secretly.

"Sweet and sour short ribs, crystal shrimp, duck in sauce, boiled fish slices, I'm so hungry..." Mu Shuiqing hugged Ji Xiaomo's arm, licked his soft lips a few times, and opened his mouth to bite.

Fortunately, Mu Shuiqing was harmless when he was sleeping. After getting teeth marks on Ji Xiaomo's white arm, he hugged Ji Xiaomo's pink arm from the bite and let out a small sigh.

The arm was numb and itchy, and Ji Xiaomo had black lines.He shifted his gaze to the side, and silently pulled up the quilt kicked off by Mu Shuiqing with his other free hand, covered it carefully, and then continued to read.But at this time, he couldn't be attracted by the stories in the book at all, but couldn't help but float towards Mu Shuiqing who was shrunk in his arms, staring at Mu Shuiqing's comfortable and pleasant sleeping face, and kept arranging the chaotic situation. thoughts.

After a stick of incense, Ji Xiaomo lay comfortably on his side, holding the book in one hand, and stroking the ink hair of Mu Shuiqing, who was lying on his side lying on his stomach and drooling in sleep with the other, withdrew his hand from time to time and turned to the next page of the book, There was Mu Shuiqing's small snoring beside her ears, and the fresh and sweet fragrance of flowers from Mu Shuiqing's body floated in her nose.

Penetrating into the bone marrow, the faint fragrance floated, which made Ji Xiaomo relax unconsciously.It is said that Mu Shuiqing's beauty salon has created a new thing, some kind of aromatherapy essential oil.Mu Shuiqing likes to use this to bathe every night and apply it all over her body after washing.Over time, she unconsciously exudes a pleasant smell, which makes people feel comfortable.

Just now, Ji Xiaomo tucked Mu Shuiqing's quilt every once in a while, and then simply hugged her in his arms silently, using it as her hot water bottle.Mu Shuiqing's head rested on Ji Xiaomo's neck, and his soft black hair and shallow breath gently blew on his chest, itching... It made his heart beat a little bit out of control.

After a few days, Ji Xiaomo was in a good mood, and even wrote a few poems specially, wanting to discuss with Mu Shuiqing, who is known as a talented woman, to draw closer to each other... After all, Mu Shuiqing swore with a cold face that he would never follow him Playing chess again, so this sullen prince can only think of using Mu Shuiqing's strengths to win her favor, and by the way show that he was also a suave, talented and famous talent back then!

Ji Xiaomo had no idea that his good intentions were different in Mu Shuiqing's eyes.

Mu Shuiqing, who had always had ADHD, couldn't bear it after lying down for a few days.Because she stayed in the same bed with Ji Xiaomo, who also needed peace of mind to recuperate, every day!That's not the point, the point is that Ji Xiaomo ignored her and kept reading!Take a look, read your brother-in-law's book!Do you know that such a quiet room made her dare not even take a breath!I had to sleep... Ji Xiaomo's only advantage is probably that it is quite comfortable to sleep on as a pillow... Well, it's very warm...

It's just why every time I fell asleep, I fell asleep on Ji Xiaomo's stomach?
However, a few days later, Ji Xiaomo completely changed his gender.Especially when he took out a new poem he wrote to discuss with her, she looked at him as if she had seen a ghost... She... hated reading... Especially when it was in traditional Chinese, and it was about romance ... Isn't it easy to expose her IQ... God knows she can only plagiarize the poems of the ancients, but she even asked her to point out his latest poem!Who knows what kind of shit poem he wrote!
Mu Shuiqing seriously doubted whether Ji Xiaomo's brain was injured by an assassin... But she didn't dare to say it, she just praised a few flattering words like "Your Highness is awesome" and "Your Highness's poems are really touching" , I feel it's false, but who knows, Ji Xiaomo is very useful after listening to it, and the mood of writing poems is even higher, and from time to time, she is asked to publish a couplet to teach...

Mu Shuiqing was so scared by such a weird prince, he just wanted to get well soon and stay away from him...

"My lord!" One day, when Ji Xiaomo stepped into the bookstore to find some interesting novels for Mu Shuiqing to relieve his boredom, Mo Hua suddenly came to him in a blink of an eye, and said respectfully, "It's a good thing that my subordinate is not disgraceful." , brought the wife and the young master back..."

Ji Xiaomo's body trembled slightly, and after a long time, a trace of joy from the heart surfaced on his face: "Take me there quickly!"
