Chapter 149 Princess, Prince Jin is here
After Cang Ying left, Tuanzi also arrived at the east wing. The two passed each other, looking at each other with caution. Finally, Tuanzi snorted coldly, knocked on He Yuncheng's door, and went to report the princess' words.
The goshawk breathed a sigh of relief and left.
He Yuncheng expressed his understanding, and after Tuanzi left, he asked Fuxing to send someone to find out what disease the princess had.
The next morning, He Yuncheng went to the main house and had breakfast with Su Muxi. The two of them did not stay silent while eating or sleeping, but He Yuncheng occasionally said a few words to make Su Muxi smile.
Su Muxi was also very considerate. Everyone can pretend, and the two of them did two things at once, eating while maintaining the atmosphere.
While they were eating, Tuanzi came trotting in, "Princess, Prince Jin is here."
Almost as soon as Tuanzi finished speaking, Xiao Yunjin walked into the room and just happened to see He Yuncheng picking up some food for Su Muxi, who was eating with a smile and then saying thank you.
The fire in my heart was like a blazing flame burning my body, unable to vent. "You two are in a good mood!"
Su Muxi was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. He Yuncheng was the same, shocked at first, then a playful smile appeared on his face.
After Xiao Yunjin finished speaking, Su Muxi and He Yuncheng stood up almost at the same time and saluted at the same time, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
However, He Yuncheng added a polite remark, "Ajin, it's great that you can come back alive."
Seeing the two of them acting like a couple, Xiao Yunjin was like a husband who caught his wife cheating on him, his head was green and his heart was angry. When they laughed, Xiao Yunjin laughed too, but this smile was a little creepy and his tone was a little gloomy, "Cousin, I have something to discuss with the princess, please leave first."
He Yuncheng could be said to be the person who knew Xiao Yunjin best. He Yuncheng was only happy about the chilling aura released by the other party. He finally found Xiao Yunjin's sore spot. "The princess is not in good health. I have something urgent to attend to. Can you please wait for a while until the princess finishes her meal and takes her medicine before we talk?"
Su Muxi is sick? Yes, there is a faint smell of medicine in the air, which can be clearly smelled even with the incense. The rationality stimulated by jealousy just now finally came back a little. How serious must the illness be to fill the room with the smell of medicine? He knows best how much Su Muxi dislikes taking medicine.
During the two days of taking aphrodisiac, I had to be coaxed and pampered even to drink ginseng soup, and the tonic was even more difficult to feed. I was often asked to boil two bowls directly, and then I would be asked to drink it. "What disease is it? It's so serious." Why didn't I know?
Xiao Yunjin wanted to go forward and ask, but the seat next to Su Muxi was occupied by He Yuncheng, which should have been his. What on earth was Cang Ying doing? Didn't he ask him to separate the two of them?
Xiao Yunjin was extremely jealous. He had just seen the two of them having dinner together. If he knew one day that He Yuncheng saw Su Muxi after taking a bath, he would probably go crazy.
Su Muxi had a faint smile on her lips. She had never encountered such a scene in her previous life, but now she found it quite funny. The two looked the same and could not be told apart when put together. She was a little dazed for a moment, and inexplicably felt a little sad for herself in her previous life.
"Some minor problems of women are not a big deal. Let's talk business first!" Su Muxi said calmly, "Prince, please go out for a while."
He Yuncheng raised his hand and supported Su Muxi's shoulders. "Don't be too tired. I'll go and get you some medicine."
This scene once again stimulated Xiao Yunjin, as if they were husband and wife, they could be close to each other, and he was an outsider.
Xiao Yunjin watched He Yuncheng leave, then turned to Su Muxi. His eyes were a little murderous, as if he was questioning why Su Muxi couldn't tell the difference between him and He Yuncheng. It was obviously him who had always been by her side, and it was him who was close to her. It was him, Xiao Yunjin.
As soon as He Yuncheng left, Su Muxi was too lazy to pretend and sat down in the main seat. "What does the prince want to talk to me about? Tell me!"
"What's wrong with you? I have a miracle doctor by my side who may be able to help." Although Xiao Yunjin was jealous, he was still concerned about her. He even cursed Cang Ying in his heart for not telling Su Muxi that she was sick.
After taking tonic medicine for a few days, Su Muxi's period came early. The pain was so severe that she felt heartbroken. She also felt a little weak at this time. She vaguely felt Xiao Yunjin's possessiveness towards her.
Thinking of Xiao Yunjin's madness in the previous life, she seemed to understand a little bit. Xiao Yunjin must have regretted it. She didn't think she was so resolute. After Xiao Yunjin recovered his identity, she really thought He Yuncheng was dead. Even though Xiao Yunjin created opportunities to meet her many times, she avoided him with the excuse of being faithful to her late husband.
The gap in their identities was something they could not cross. As much as she loved Xiao Yunjin in the beginning, she hated him later. The death of her father and brother was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Even though Xiao Yunjin imprisoned her, she never acknowledged Xiao Yunjin.
She could clearly tell their identities apart, but she refused to admit it and pretended not to know, angering Xiao Yunjin again and again.
I didn't expect that even though they had little contact in this life, Xiao Yunjin was still moving towards insanity.
Su Muxi let out a long sigh, "I've already said that this is a common disease among women. Your Highness Prince Jin, if you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I need to take medicine and rest later. I'm a little tired."
As soon as Su Muxi showed weakness, Xiao Yunjin's heart softened. He looked at Su Muxi's lips that were bleeding and said, "The emperor has approved your mission and asked me to cooperate with you. There are also several ministers on the way and they will arrive in a few days."
Xiao Yunjin was given important posts right after returning to the capital. He must have people in the court. "I know. There is no need for Prince Jin to make a trip alone for these matters. It will be easier to discuss them after everyone is here."
"Yes, I came here just to inform you and make preparations," Xiao Yunjin looked at the other party, "Then you should take medicine and rest first!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yunjin wanted to say a few more words of concern, but Su Muxi looked like she refused to talk, so he could only hold it back, "Then you should have a good rest! When the ministers arrive, we will discuss other things."
"Well, take care, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yunjin saw the person with his eyes, remembered him in his heart, and then left reluctantly.
As soon as the door opened, the Duchess's wife was blocking it. "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Jin." The Duchess's wife followed the standard etiquette with a fake smile on her face.
But even so, Xiao Yunjin was still startled. The main reason was that Xiao Yunjin's attention was all on Su Muxi and he didn't notice there was someone standing at the door.
"There's no need to be so formal, Madam Duke," Xiao Yunjin quickly raised his hand. She was his own mother-in-law and he should show her respect.
After the Duke's wife finished her greetings, she stood up on her own. She didn't notice that Xiao Yunjin wanted to support her hand. She said seriously, "Your Highness Prince Jin, although you have political affairs to discuss with me, a man and a woman alone will only increase misunderstandings. His father has more say in the army. Please get up and go to Guanyang City."
These words were full of sarcasm, and Xiao Yunjin was stunned. He hadn't done anything yet, but he had offended his mother-in-law. Last time at the Duke's Mansion, his father-in-law was on his side.
"Madam Guogong is right. I will be careful in the future and will not bring criticism to the princess."
Xiao Yunjin first made a promise, and then said: "It's really an urgent matter just now. I have also made it clear to my cousin. The princess is a heroine. I believe that except for some scoundrels who will slander the princess, the people in the northwest will naturally respect and love her for her kindness."
When talking about Xiao Xiao, Xiao Yunjin glanced at He Yuncheng with an eye that clearly hinted at something. The Duke's wife didn't notice, but she was happy that Xiao Yunjin said it so frankly.
Her daughter first guarded Hanshui City, then Yucheng City, and now even Guanyang City is guarded by her daughter. The people of these cities will not tolerate anyone who dares to slander her daughter.
She relaxed her expression, "It's a rare opportunity for Prince Jin to come here, I asked the mansion to prepare some wine and food, now that we have finished discussing the serious matters, you cousins can catch up on the past."
"Thank you, Madam Duke, for your hospitality."
