Yu Yuan's injury is almost healed, and he can go to work from today.
Yan Mu didn't know how long it would take to recover from the burn, and she didn't dare to ask anyone.
So to be conservative, she still has a bandage on her face.
She drank the sweet osmanthus honey tea and watched Yu Yuan go away.
The weather is getting cooler.
Yu Yuan added several clothes under her instruction.
But even so, the young man's waist is still tight and slender, Yan Mu's eyes are tight.
Last night, she fell asleep with this amputated limb in her arms.
Perhaps because of lack of security, Yu Yuan's sleeping position is very clingy, he must hug Yan Mu to sleep.
The two are so close, Yan Mu has been kissed by Yu Yuan every day recently, even night blindness has been cured.
So when Yu Yuan turned over, the corner of the obscene clothes slipped off, and she clearly saw the line of the boy's abdomen.
At that time, she couldn't hold back any of it, and reached out to touch it.
Yu Yuan's warm body temperature seems to still be in the palm of his hand, and the tight curve of his abdominal muscles is looming in Yan Mu's mind.
Yan Mu suddenly felt dry mouth.
She quickly took a sip of sweet-scented osmanthus honey tea.
It must be because of autumn dry air, definitely not because she harbors evil thoughts.
Yan Mu murmured silently in his heart.
Yu Yuan walked halfway and turned back.
"What's wrong?" Yan Mu asked in confusion, "Did you forget something?"
"En." Yu Yuan nodded.
He looked into Yan Mu's clear eyes, leaned over and kissed her lightly.
"Osmanthus tea is very sweet." Yu Yuan's chuckle came from next to his ear, "I'm leaving."
After saying that, Yu Yuan left in a hurry.
There is still a scorching temperature on the ear.
Yan Mu raised his head blankly, looking at Yu Yuan's leaving figure.
It's over.
Her heart beat faster.
Yan Mu quickly took another sip of sweet-scented osmanthus tea, trying to suppress the throbbing in his heart.
She blew the wind in the yard for a while, and then felt her heartbeat calmed down.
The young man was indeed full of energy, and she really couldn't stand it.
Yan Mu sighed and walked into the house.
She hasn't had breakfast yet.
Yan Mu didn't want to go to Baoyue to eat today, but wanted to eat dim sum from his own shop.
She had just eaten a few bites when she saw Eunuch Qin coming again.
"Hello Miss Yan." Eunuch Qin still had that smiling expression.
Yan Mu quickly put down the pastry in his hand.
Before she could speak, Eunuch Qin said: "Miss Yan, there is a nobleman who wants to see you, please come with our house."
"My lord?" Yan Mu sensitively realized something was wrong.
This shows that the person she is going to meet is not Chu Cong, but someone else.
Eunuch Qin is a member of Chu Cong, and the person who can be called a nobleman by him is very likely to be above Chu Cong.
Yan Mu knew that she couldn't refuse.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Does the Second Highness know about this?"
"The Second Highness is busy with the Empress's birthday, so naturally Wuxia takes care of everything." Eunuch Qin said euphemistically.
Good guy.
This means that Chu Cong doesn't know what's going on today.
Yan Mu felt a little dizzy.
People in the royal family, no matter who they are, they can't be offended.
She also wanted to ask Eunuch Qin again what this so-called nobleman wanted to do with her.
But Eunuch Qin kept silent and led Yan Mu out.
"Miss Yan, where are you going?" Xiaoqing paid more attention to Yan Mu because of the good relationship between his parents.
Seeing that something was wrong, he hurried forward and asked.
"Guard Qing, the Second Highness wants to discuss something with Miss Yan temporarily." Eunuch Qin stood between Yan Mu and Xiao Qing.
"But..." Xiao Qing felt a little troubled.
In the past, when Chu Cong came to pick up people or inspect the shop, he would send someone to inform him in advance.
Today, the Second Highness did not come to send someone to notify.
This shows that the person who wants to see Yan Mu is not the Second Highness.
"Xiaoqing, are you trying to stop our family?" Eunuch Qin's tone suddenly turned hostile.
"I..." Xiao Qing was speechless.
Eunuch Qin is the eunuch bestowed upon Chu Cong by the empress, no matter in terms of status or status, they cannot be compared with these guards.
He hesitated again and again, and finally made way for Eunuch Qin.
Looking at the figures of Yan Mu and Eunuch Qin getting into the carriage, Xiao Qing secretly gritted his teeth.
He pulled out a horse, jumped, and ran towards the second prince's mansion.
*******************
Yan Mu's shop was still some distance away from the imperial palace, so she and Eunuch Qin sat face to face all the way, which felt a little awkward.
Thinking of the subject of her new book, she immediately cleared her throat and greeted Eunuch Qin.
"I want to ask you something, but I don't know if it's offensive..." Yan Mu asked weakly.
"Miss Yan was joking, just ask if you have anything to do." Eunuch Qin still had the same smile on his face, as if he was wearing a mask.
"It's just..." Yan Mu twitched for a while, then whispered: "Do you know about food?"
"..." Eunuch Qin didn't speak.
I don't know if it was Yan Mu's illusion, but she always felt that there was a crack in Eunuch Qin's mask.
"Miss Yan, you are a girl, why do you ask our family?" Eunuch Qin tried his best to keep himself calm.
If he hadn't heard about Yan Mu's character from the Second Highness, he would have thought that Yan Mu was trying to please him.
"It's just..." Yan Mu was a little embarrassed: "I want to write a novel about food."
"No one would want to see such dirty things." Eunuch Qin denied her almost instantly.
Although this dynasty did not forbid eunuchs to feed each other, but few eunuchs can last long with their own.
For example, Eunuch Qin once had a rivalry, but as the seniority of the two in the palace became higher and higher, the distance between them gradually became farther away.
Since then, Eunuch Qin has never found a match again.
Eunuch Qin felt a little sad when he thought about it.
Yan Mu originally wanted to obtain materials with a scientific and rigorous attitude, but unexpectedly made Eunuch Qin feel uncomfortable, and he felt a little sorry.
She apologized to Eunuch Qin very sincerely.
Before Eunuch Qin could say anything, the carriage stopped suddenly.
The palace has arrived.
Eunuch Qin immediately put the episode behind him.
He quickly took Yan Mu out of the car.
Immediately afterwards, a court lady came to search Yan Mu's body to confirm that she was not carrying weapons or poison/drugs.
After going on like this, the two of them passed another 77/88 checkpoints before officially entering the harem.
The harem was indeed as written in Yan Mu's book. Yan Mu found it novel, not only did he not feel afraid or nervous, but even had a magical sense of intimacy when he came home.
As Yan Mu and Eunuch Qin, they are not worthy of sitting in a sedan chair.
The two had to walk.
Along the way, some little maids saw Yan Mu's bandaged face whispering, but they shut their mouths when they saw Eunuch Qin.
The two of them walked for a long time before reaching the central palace.
Yan Mu looked up, and it was indeed the three big characters of Fengyi Hall.
"Miss Yan, you have to go in by yourself next." Eunuch Qin said.
Yan Mu saw that his head was covered with sweat, and there were a few strands of silver falling from the black gauze hat.
Thinking of her unintentional offense to Eunuch Qin just now, Yan Mu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
She thought about it, took out a few taels of silver, and stuffed it while Eunuch Qin wasn't paying attention.
"Eunuch Qin has worked hard on the boat and car, so take the money and drink tea in my bookstore." After finishing speaking, Yan Mu gave Eunuch Qin another VIP card.
She was afraid that Eunuch Qin would refuse, so she turned around and left after stuffing it.
Eunuch Qin was holding the things, and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
He knew what Yan Mu meant, but after decades in the palace, he had already learned to hide his sincerity in the deepest part of his chest.
Eunuch Qin sighed softly, and put the money and card away in his sleeve.
*********************
Yan Mu stood in the hall, allowing the queen to look at him.
There was a curl of incense burning in the hall, and the queen bowed her head to drink tea after seeing her for a while.
Yan Mu's feet were sore from standing, but the queen didn't speak, and she was too embarrassed to sit down.
Finally, the queen put down the teacup, then raised her eyes.
"You are Yan Mu?" There was no emotion in the queen's voice.
Yan Mu quickly responded.
The queen had no expression on her face, she raised her hand, and the maid at the side quickly brought a chair.
Looking at it like this, it was probably granted a seat.
But Yan Mu saw that the Queen's coming was not in a good mood, so he secretly kept his eyes open.
The queen didn't ask her to sit down, so she didn't sit down.
The queen was very satisfied with this, so she asked Yan Mu to sit down.
Yan Mu just sat down.
"I heard that you are working under Cong'er." The Queen said. "It's better to talk about it."
Yan Mu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Queen's Road Gourd, so he told the truth truthfully.
"What about the specific profit of the bookstore?" the queen asked again.
"This..." This made Yan Mu ask.
She is not good at math, and she is only responsible for operation and development. Accounting is the job of the accountant, and she has never looked at various profits. On the contrary, Yu Yuan would check it from time to time.
Yan Mu knew in his heart that with Chu Cong's support and his own imagination, this bookstore would be supernatural if it was in deficit.
But these words cannot be said to the queen, in case the queen asks her: How do you know that these themes can be sold well
Then Yan Mu can't say that he is time-traveled, can he
So Yan Mu hesitated for a while, and only replied that the profit of the bookstore has always been good.
This aroused doubts in the queen's heart.
After all, there are very few shopkeepers who don't read the books.
Suspicion arose in her heart, and when she saw Yan Mu, she felt that there was something wrong.
In the end, the queen's eyes fell on the bandage wrapped around Yan Mu.
"I have a very good imperial physician here, why don't you let him show to Miss Yan." The queen said lightly.
Sensitively, she noticed that Yan Mu's body froze.
"The servant's face was burned by the fire, it is too ugly, I am afraid it will scare the empress."
Yan Mu panicked.
The queen felt more and more that there was something wrong with Yan Mu's face.
"I have never judged people by their appearance." The queen smiled.
There was no trace of warmth in that smile, which made Yan Mu's heart shudder.
"This..." Yan Mu was speechless.
Seeing that Yan Mu couldn't answer, the queen felt that Yan Mu had a ghost in her heart.
"I heard from Cong'er that you were captured by the eldest prince and your appearance was ruined. You were almost burnt to death. Cong'er felt sorry for you, so I gave you those rewards." The queen said slowly: "This palace kindly wants to cure you. Injury, but you keep pushing and blocking, it can be seen that there is a ghost."
Speaking of this, the queen's tone faltered, and she suddenly became fierce.
She patted the table, and said to the maid next to her, "Qinghe, hold this girl down for Bengong!"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Mu felt a strong attack.
The author has something to say:
That's right, I'm the kind of person who is extremely bad at math and gets dizzy when I see numbers TT
