Charm King Domination: No. 9 Favorite Concubine

Chapter 38 Poisonous Tongue
Mu Lianyi frowned slightly as she looked at Liyu Pavilion, which was emptied again.There was a vague premonition that the nanny had been detained by Mu Zhenggang.

If she was really detained by him, how could she demand someone?

"You should be worrying about yourself."

Suddenly a clear voice came from behind, and Mu Lianyi didn't need to turn her head to know that the person who said this must be the master who had just been promoted to him, but in fact he was more like Hua Qingyi, her enemy.

"I happen to have something to ask you."

She turned around abruptly, walked to the soft couch with strides, and looked down at the guy who could fully display the word "monster" even if he closed his eyes and rested his mind.

"Did the nanny be taken away by him last night? Do you know where she was taken away?"

"Impolite girl! Have you ever talked to Master like this? Also, you mean your father by that he?"

Hua Qingyi opened his eyes lazily, and he didn't know how long he had been sleeping here in incognito, but Mu Lianyi actually saw the haze when he first woke up from those long and narrow eyes.

If the banter in his words was not too eye-catching, Mu Lianyi would have been fooled by his mellow appearance.

Alas, it's obviously no big deal how old she is, is it really good to rely on the old and sell the old like this?
Mu Lianyi saluted perfunctorily: "I have seen the master and the prince."

"Hmm! Be good."

A certain man sat up straight with a bright smile, ignoring the twitching corners of a certain woman's lips, and pointed his chin towards the kettle on the round table: "Yi'er, good boy, pour Master a glass of water."

"……it is good!"

She turned around and poured water, and held it in front of Hua Qingyi with her hands. The beautiful man raised his eyes and curled his lips in disgust: "This water is cold."

"It used to be hot." Just make do with it, they are in a hurry to find a nanny.

However, a certain difficult-to-serve uncle acted like a person with nothing to do, with his hands crossed over his chest, and he lay back in a leisurely manner.

Jun, who was so angry that he didn't pay for his life, wrote on his face: If you don't take good care of me, I don't want to know about your nanny.

A certain woman bit her lip, okay, I will bear it!
She resolutely held the water glass in the palm of her right hand, her palm trembled, the heat surged up, and the boiled water that was still cold a second ago emitted a curl of smoke.

Moderate temperature.

Hua Qingyi smiled: "Not bad! Our family's Yi'er is smart."

He just learned to absorb the fire element on his own, but he also knows how to apply what he has learned.But looking at her movements so proficiently, it seems that she has done it countless times...

Hua Qingyi looked at Mu Lianyi with a little more meaning.

Mu Lianyi was secretly depressed—God, she was too impatient just now, why did she forget that "the current her" is just a beginner who just found the knack of cultivation?In front of this fox, she should hide her clumsiness!

She looked at Hua Qingyi calmly, but fortunately, his surprise flashed away, and he didn't ask any more questions.

He took the water glass and took a big sip.

When he raised his eyes again, he saw a certain woman looking at him eagerly, and he joked wickedly: "Tuer's eyes look like wolves, tigers and leopards!"

"Cough cough!"

Mu Lianyi almost choked to death on her saliva.

"Master, beautiful and delicious is to praise girls. Isn't it good that you, a big man, secretly praise yourself like this?"

"So isn't your covetous look in the rhythm of wanting to eat your teacher?"

"Thank you, master, for your compliment. This disciple is not that tough yet." Please don't look at me suspiciously.

Mu Lianyi added silently in her heart, and put on a serious tone to get back to business: "You know where the nanny is, don't you?"

"This king thinks you should care more about your body now."

"……"What's the meaning?
"On the night of the Seven Stars Lianzhu, the water element in the Jingyuan pool is the best time to change your physique, but you can adjust your breath now..."

Mu Lianyi secretly circulated the energy in her body, and found out coldly that there seemed to be countless small fireballs hidden in her meridians. As long as she circulated the fire element in her body a little, those fireballs would roll in her meridians, scalding her whole body. They were all on fire.

No wonder she felt something was wrong when she boiled the water just now, so...

"That's right, the distraction at the critical moment last night caused all efforts to fall short. If you still want to practice forcefully now, you will end up like ordinary practitioners, waiting to be burnt by the fire element in your body until the oil burns out."

"..."

Under the light green long sleeves, Mu Lianyi's fists were slowly clenched.

The news that she inquired from the market that day kept circling in her mind, and she knew that Hua Qingyi did not lie to her.

If she didn't have a unique talent and couldn't change her physique the day after tomorrow, then the end of her obsession with cultivation could only be—death.

After a lot of thoughts, when she raised her head again, she said firmly, "You should tell me about the nanny first."

She was even more worried about whether something bad would happen to the nanny.

"Are you so concerned about someone who poisoned you?"

Hua Qingyi looked at her without blinking, feeling a little elusive about the woman in front of him.

Ordinary people would cry sadly when they heard that the cultivation opportunities they had finally obtained were turned into ashes, right?What's more, the person who caused her to lose her mind and miss the opportunity was also the person who once poisoned her. The new hatred adds to the old hatred, how can she not care about it at all?

He couldn't help asking: "You don't hate her?"

"Hate? Why?"

Mu Lianyi said: "You heard what she said last night. She obeyed my mother's last wish. It may be wrong to cut off my future without asking my wishes, but thanks to her, I was able to live until the end of my life." Now, by comparison, her kindness to take care of me without her husband and son is even more touching."

She said this very sincerely, without any hypocrisy or affectation.

Such Mu Lianyi made Hua Qingyi feel emotional.

Think about being in the royal family, family affection is indifferent.Even though he is often surrounded by many people serving him, who else can compare to Luo Yunzhu's friendship for her?
That woman Luo Yunzhu really didn't deserve to die, but——

"You have also seen Mu Zhenggang's intentions. If you want to save your nanny, you have to think long-term."

The implication is that the nanny was really taken away by the old man.

Mu Lianyi paced around the room, tapping her chin with her slender index finger.

After a while, she turned her head and asked Hua Qingyi: "Are you not sure where the nanny is locked up?"

"So what if you're sure, with your useless physique, you can't even get close to the door of the dungeon."

"..." As for being so vicious?

But Mu Lianyi still grasped the key point in his words: "You mean dungeon? Is there a dungeon in our prime minister's mansion?"

Hua Qingyi hooked her lips, and the faint mockery in her eyes had already explained the answer.

Mu Zhenggang was just You Cheng, and he dared to set up a dungeon in his own mansion, which showed that he had great ambitions.

Mu Lianyi didn't have any affection for him, so she only clicked her tongue at his ambition and had no more emotions.
