After swallowing the elixir, Mu Yunjin only felt that the soul of the black lotus settled in her body suddenly jumped up and down, and her forehead was gradually covered with fine beads of sweat.
After a while, Mu Yunjin let out a muffled snort, and saw a cloud of black mist pull out from her forehead, turn into air, and dissipate in front of her eyes.
After the soul of the black lotus was taken out of her body, Mu Yunjin drank a few more sips of water, inexplicably feeling relieved, since this thing remained in her body, she always felt a little worried.
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin, and said softly, "You can go to rest."
"En." Mu Yunjin nodded upon hearing this, sat up, and walked towards the room.
After entering the room, Mu Yunjin leaned against the door, sighed slightly, and kept thinking about the words Taoist Fengxuan said in her ear.
Inexplicably, her sinking heart lifted again, and she suddenly felt that there were conspiracy traps all around her.
…
The next day, when Mu Yunjin woke up, Zixiang told her that Taoist Fengxuan had left.
Hearing the news, Mu Yunjin didn't have much feeling in her heart, but rather envied the leisure and ease of Taoist Fengxuan.
"Miss, it seems that you have been in high spirits these two days, are you entangled with Miss Fourth's affairs?" Zixiang helped Mu Yunjin comb her hair, seeing her calm expression, she couldn't help asking.
Mu Yunjin shook her head, "I'm too lazy to worry about her."
Zixiang smiled when she heard the words, but didn't ask any more questions.
After Mu Yunjin combed her hair, she went out of the room, just in time to bump into Chu Li who was also coming out of the room, and seeing Chu Li, Mu Yunjin twitched the corners of her mouth and forced a smile.
Chu Li also took a look at Mu Yunjin, and walked straight towards her, "Mu Yunjin, Xiao Jiu sent someone to the mansion to deliver a message, and he will come to you later."
"Eh? Qingyuan?" When mentioning Chu Qingyuan, Mu Yunjin felt that she hadn't seen her for a long time.
Chu Li nodded, and finally said, "My prince has entered the palace."
"Your royal father seems to have been summoning you frequently recently. Is there something he is discussing with you?" Mu Yunjin couldn't help asking.
"Yes." Chu Li responded, "There has been some turmoil in the court recently, and there are many things, so we should take precautions."
Mu Yunjin seemed to understand, but raised the corners of her lips, "I'm so hungry, let's have breakfast together first."
Chu Li did not refuse.
In the dining hall, when the two were eating breakfast quietly, there was a laughing sound from the door, "Aha, brother six, sister-in-law six, do you miss me?"
Mu Yunjin followed the sound and saw Chu Qingyuan leaning half of her body and looking at them with her head exposed, with a smile on her face.
Afterwards, Chu Qingyuan came in, sat down on the other side, picked up a pastry and ate it, "Well, the pastry chef here is still so good, much better than Xiaojiu's."
"Qingyuan, where have you been all this time?" Mu Yunjin looked at the carefree Chu Qingyuan with a smile on her face.
"Stayed in the dormitory all the time, but didn't come out. The empress said that I am not young, and ordered me to learn some female red embroidery in the dormitory. As a result, I didn't go out for a month, and my hands were all pierced with needles." Chu As Qingyuan said, she stretched out her hand to show Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin looked, and there really were small holes.
"My prince is leaving first." Chu Li's voice came from the side, and he glanced at Mu Yunjin and Chu Qingyuan in the dining hall.
"Well, come back early." Seeing Chu Li's eyes, Mu Yunjin blurted out, her tone was so casual that she didn't realize it.
Chu Li was slightly taken aback, inexplicably feeling that Mu Yunjin's voice was particularly pleasant, and walked out with a trace of warmth in his eyes.
After Chu Li left, Chu Qingyuan sat closer to Mu Yunjin, and hugged Mu Yunjin's arm coquettishly, "Sister-in-law Six, Xiao Jiu is here today, and I want to ask you some questions."
"Well, tell me." Seeing her swaying posture, Mu Yunjin felt a little teasing.
"Sister-in-law Liu, how do you feel about liking someone? Does your heart beat so hard when you see him, and your face turns red?" Chu Qingyuan asked with longing.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and looked at Chu Qingyuan. Seeing her mentioning this, her face turned red, "Who are you looking at?"
Hearing Mu Yunjin's straightforward question, Chu Qingyuan's face turned red again, and she stretched out her hand to pat Mu Yunjin, "Oh, I just asked casually, what are you talking about, sister-in-law Liu? Nine is still young."
"It's not too young. In two years' time, it will be too late, and then you can get married." Mu Yunjin teased.
Chu Qingyuan was a little excited when she heard the words, her eyes brightened, "Then tell me, if the two are seven or eight years apart, wouldn't the gap be a bit big?"
"Xiao Jiu doesn't want to be gossiped behind her back, saying that Xiao Jiu married an old man..."
Mu Yunjin understood it. With her hands on her chin, she looked straight at Chu Qingyuan, "Xiao Jiu, who are you looking for? You are seven or eight years younger, but it's okay, and you Fourteen years old, seven years older than you, but only twenty-one."
"It's better than Mu Lingzhu marrying an old man twenty years older."
"Yes, yes, yes, sister-in-law Liu, you are right, that's what Xiao Jiu thinks." Chu Qingyuan almost jumped up excitedly, and squeezed Mu Yunjin's hand vigorously, feeling like she finally met her confidant.
A smile appeared on the corner of Mu Yunjin's lips, she leaned closer to Chu Qingyuan, and whispered, "Then tell me secretly, who are you looking for, and Sixth Sister-in-law is here to help you as a staff officer."
Chu Qingyuan blushed, lowered her eyes, and said shyly, "That's the one, that Major General Qin who won the battle not long ago, brother Mu Nan."
Mu Yunjin's smile froze on her face for an instant.
"What's the matter? Sister-in-law Six, how is Brother Mu Nan?" Seeing Mu Yunjin's smile fading away, Chu Qingyuan suddenly panicked.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, she really didn't expect Xiao Jiu to fall in love with Qin Munan.
But Qin Munan...
Alas, the world is still too small.
"Sister-in-law Six?" Chu Qingyuan continued to push Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin came back to her senses and met Chu Qingyuan's gaze, "Major General Qin is 21 this year, I guess he has someone he likes in his heart, and your father thinks so much about him now, maybe he will marry him of."
Chu Qingyuan flattened her mouth, drooped her eyes, and started to cry as if she was aggrieved, "But Xiao Jiu just likes Brother Mu Nan. That day in the palace, Xiao Jiu was climbing a tree and almost fell from the tree. It was Mu Nan." Brother Nan saved me and patted my head, telling me to be more careful in the future."
"Brother Mu Nan is so gentle, he doesn't have that rough feeling at all. Xiao Jiu likes him and wants to marry him!"
Mu Yunjin sighed slightly, not to mention the previous relationship between Qin Munan and the owner of his body, according to the Qin family's current behind-the-scenes actions, Xiao Jiu and Qin Munan are useless.
"Xiao Jiu, you are still young, and you may just love and admire Major General Qin. When you reach a certain age, you will understand that love is the most important thing between two people." Mu Yunjin stretched out her hand to cover Chu On Qing Yuan's shoulder, some nonsense words were uttered.
"Then between the sixth sister-in-law and the sixth brother, is it love?"
"..."
…
"You guys, come and help me push the swing, the higher the better!"
In the garden of the Prince's Mansion, Chu Qingyuan was sitting on a swing, and a few maidservants beside her helped her push the swing. There was a smile on Chu Qingyuan's face that couldn't be concealed.
Mu Yunjin leaned against the pillar of the gazebo, looked at Chu Qingqiang, and couldn't help laughing when she thought of her question just now.
like…
How could she and Chu Li have love.
After Chu Qingyuan played for a while, Chu Li's figure came in from outside. As soon as he entered the garden, Chu Li heard Chu Qingyuan's laughter, and couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.
"Eh? You're back." Mu Yunjin caught a glimpse of Chu Li, straightened her body, and saw him approaching step by step.
Chu Li nodded, his gaze fell on Mu Yunjin's bun, and he slowly stretched out his hand to help put back the pearl flower that was about to fall off from her bun, with gentle movements.
"Okay." A clear voice came from above his head.
Mu Yunjin blushed inexplicably, subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch the pearl flower on the bun, lowered her eyes, and slightly raised the corners of her lips.
"Haha, I caught you! Sister-in-law Six, you see that you will blush and shy in front of Sixth Brother, just like Xiao Jiu's previous state. Is this what you mean by love?"
Mu Yunjin's words choked up, and after hearing these words, she was even more embarrassed, and her face turned pale.
Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin, then at Chu Qingyuan, with doubts in his eyes.
"It's like this, Sixth Brother, after you left just now, Sixth Sister-in-Law and Xiao Jiu talked about the difference between liking and love, saying that the relationship between her and you belongs to love. But now Xiao Jiu only knows how to like, not love."
"But now that Xiaojiu sees Sister-in-law Liu like this, then Xiaojiu's love should also be love, not liking!"
At this moment, Mu Yunjin wanted to sew Xiao Jiu's mouth shut, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to drill down in. She was just talking casually, how could Xiao Jiu take it seriously, and even told Chu Li to listen.
At this time, Chu Li's eyes fell on Mu Yunjin who didn't dare to lift her head from one side. Seeing that the base of her ears had turned red, she suddenly felt better. She suppressed her smile, but there was still a low laugh The corners of the lips overflow.
Seeing that she was being laughed at by Chu Li, Mu Yunjin stretched out her hand to cover her face, and said frantically, "Xiao Jiu is talking nonsense, I'm trying to prevent her from falling in love early!"
"Eh? Sister-in-law six, that's not what you said just now. You said that she is seven years older than Xiaojiu, and her age matches very well." Chu Qingyuan scratched her head innocently. Sister-in-law six obviously didn't say that just now.
Mu Yunjin was about to spurt blood.
Chu Li has always been able to control his emotions, but at this moment, he couldn't control himself a little bit. He bent down a little closer to Mu Yunjin, his eyes were so gentle that he seemed to be pinching water.
"Yunjin, this prince really doesn't know, it turns out that you care so much about me, and you have a wife like that, what more can you ask for?"
"Ahhh!!"
Mu Yunjin screamed a few times, covered her head and quickly ran towards Liquan Pavilion.
Behind him, Chu Li stood up, touched his chin, his heart was soft, and there was a happy smile on his lips.
After a while, Chu Li seemed to think of something, suddenly put away his smile, and looked at Chu Qingyuan with dark eyes, "Xiao Jiu, who are you looking for?"
When Chu Qingyuan met this look, she took a step back in fright. Brother Six really changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book.
Sure enough, everyone has a different attitude towards true love and liking, and Sister-in-law Liu is quite right about this.
