Chapter 204: Running Well
If Mu Qingyan knew Mu Ruge's dark thoughts, she would definitely call her shameless.
But at this moment, she was in Prince Ling's mansion, changing the medicine for Yunhua.
I have to say that this guy has pretty good physical fitness.
With such a serious injury, if it were someone else, they would be unable to get out of bed for ten days or half a month, but he was able to get out of bed after just one night of rest.
She couldn't help but think of Mu Sinian who was beaten half to death by Gu Qingrong. She didn't know if he was still alive. None of the concubines in the mansion liked him, and probably no one wanted to pay attention to him. It was enough for him to be able to breathe.
The last time the wound was treated, Yuan Ying was there to help clean it. This time, she also took the initiative to help change the dressing.
Mu Qingyan said nothing. She watched her skillfully remove the original bandage, apply new medicine, and then wrap it up again. She left the room silently.
"How can you leave your sister alone in the house and let them be alone?"
Mu Qingyan glanced at Prince Ling and said, "What's there to worry about? Yunhua doesn't even have the strength to catch a chicken right now. Yuanying can knock him down with one hand."
The two of them strolled around the garden and went to the study to talk.
"Now that the news has been released, what are we going to do next? After all, Prince Yong and Prince Chong are still everywhere in Kyoto. We can only take a gamble. It is still unknown whether Prince Yong will really take the bait..."
The teacher must have a legitimate reason.
If King Yong had not rebelled, the imperial court would have no reason to take back Youzhou.
It is true that he controlled Yingzhou, but who can prove that he controlled it? As long as he refused to admit it and found a scapegoat to cover up the matter, the court would be unable to do anything to him.
Just like Prince Ling said, if he was really pushed into a corner, he could just turn around and say that Emperor Jianning disregarded the feelings of his brothers and that he could always find excuses to accuse him of a crime.
Moreover, one must also be wary of the troops in his hands and the gossip of the people throughout the world.
You can't let the world say that Your Majesty disregards the brotherhood and sentences a prince who has been guarding the border for many years to death based on mere suspicion.
Being an emperor is not that easy.
You can't kill anyone you want.
We need to balance the forces of all parties, weigh the pros and cons, and take public opinion into consideration.
Considering the crimes committed by King Yong, it would not be excessive to cut him into pieces.
But he is a prince, so if His Majesty wants to touch him, he has to take his identity into consideration.
"He will take the bait, because he has waited for too long. He urgently needs a legitimate reason to start a rebellion. The Queen Mother's sudden illness and house arrest are the best reasons for him."
Mu Qingyan was originally leaning on the desk.
Jun Ye reached out and held her hand.
Mu Qingyan had no choice but to walk around the desk and come to his side. He put his arm around her and sat on his lap.
With his chin resting lightly on her shoulder, Mu Qingyan raised her hand and gently patted his cheek, "What happened today?" When he came out of the room where Yunhua lived, his expression was not right.
Jun Ye's voice was a little muffled, "I'm not happy because you looked at someone else's body..."
"Who?"
“Yunhua…”
Mu Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I was treating his injuries."
Jun Ye tightened his arms around her waist, "After I was poisoned, my health has been poor, so I am naturally skinny and not strong... I'm afraid that you will look down on me because of the comparison..."
The moment he saw Yunhua taking off his clothes, he felt ashamed for the first time.
"Get up..." Mu Qingyan moved her shoulders.
Jun Ye sat up straight with a wronged look on his face, staring at him like a little puppy seeking comfort.
Mu Qingyan got up from him and said, "Then you can slowly feel sad. I have to go..."
Jun Ye stared at her slim back eagerly.
Mu Qingyan took a few steps, then suddenly turned around, walked back to him, held his face, and unexpectedly kissed him on the lips.
Then, as if extremely shy, she ran away quickly with a red face.
Jun Ye was stunned in place, his dark eyes were first suspicious, then shocked, and then surprised, and aftertaste...
The study door opened and closed.
Jun Ye slowly raised his hand and stroked his lips. There was still a faint girl's fragrance on them... It was a smell that belonged only to him...
This dragonfly-like kiss on the water caused endless ripples in his heart...
Even this dull study has become charming.
When Ah Shu came in, she saw her prince's face full of lustful look.
He dared to knock on the door only after he saw the princess run out with a red face. However, after knocking for a long time and getting no response, he had no choice but to come in by himself.
"Your Majesty?"
Could it be that something unspeakable happened between these two people in the study room in broad daylight? But this is too fast... Your Majesty, is it not possible?
If Prince Ling knew what Ah Shu was thinking, he would definitely order his men to drag him out and beat him with fifty military sticks.
But it was obvious that he had no ability to read minds. "What is it?"
"News came from the Ministry of Justice that Zhou Yuan ran away."
Prince Ling was not surprised. "You ran well. If Prince Yong couldn't get the jade talisman from the Grand Princess, he would not dare to return to the capital!"
After all, he was a vassal king ordered to guard the border. If he led his troops back to Beijing without the emperor's order, it would be a violation of the rules.
He also didn't want to be arrested on charges of treason before he even reached Kyoto.
Now everything is ready, just waiting for Prince Yong to fall into the trap.
After Mu Qingyan took the initiative to kiss him, she felt completely ashamed.
The burning sensation on her face did not fade away even after she ran all the way.
I don't know why I turned around when I got excited. She wanted to leave, but Yuan Ying was still with Yuan Hua. They came together, so she couldn't leave her alone.
I had no choice but to find a little girl to tell her to hurry up.
She ran out of the door and hid behind the stone lion at the door, waiting, while secretly looking in the direction of the door, fearing that the person who came out was not Yuan Ying, but Prince Ling.
Fortunately, Yuan Ying did not delay for too long. As soon as he saw her step out of the gate of the prince's mansion, Mu Qingyan rushed over and pulled her into the carriage. Before the person sat down, he hurriedly ordered the coachman to go faster.
Yuan Ying saw that she was on pins and needles and frowned, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Qingyan smiled pretending to be relaxed, but there was a hint of embarrassment in that smile, "Ah? Are you okay? I'm fine..."
Yuan Ying took out a small bronze mirror from her sleeve and pointed it at her face. "Look at your face. It's almost burnt, isn't it?"
Mu Qingyan was embarrassed and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
"Did something happen between you and the prince that I don't know about?"
Mu Qingyan gritted her teeth and began to change the subject, "What about you? You stayed in Yuanhua's house for so long, did anything happen between you two that I don't know about?"
Sure enough, now it was Yuanying's turn to feel embarrassed.
"There's no such story... Sister, don't talk nonsense..."
