Chapter 41: Autumn is cool and windy
Mu Yan followed Mu Zilian back a few steps, and only stopped when he was sure that the people behind him couldn't hear their voices.
"My sister came here this time, and she asked me about the whereabouts of the Imperial Soul Wall?"
Mu Yan was the first to speak, but unexpectedly, Mu Zilian snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at her several times.
"I heard earlier, sister, that you were whipped by the third prince, but afterwards you were carried back to the house by the seventh prince. I'm a sister, but I don't know when my sister has such a good ability, and the depraved don't even have shame?"
Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, and heard the deliberate mockery in Mu Zilian's tone. didn't talk to her, just turned around and walked back. Mu Zilian was obviously stunned, and hurriedly pulled her sleeve.
"I'm not done yet, what are you going to do!"
Mu Yan stopped and sighed lightly, to be honest, her anger has not dissipated in the past few days, it is one thing to be grateful to Shen Yan, but it is another thing to be framed and whipped. When she returned home this time, she had no intention of going against Feng Ziying. Shen Yan is right, instead of being tough, it is better to be vigilant.
But Feng Ziying is Feng Ziying, she is Shen Li's side concubine, and she is also the daughter of a general. Since Mu Yan couldn't move, he had to make compromises for the time being. But Mu Zilian is different, she is also surnamed Mu, and she is younger than herself, who gave her the courage to dare to talk to her as a sister?
"First, I promised to get out of the sedan chair and come here with you to talk, not to listen to you mock me. As the third princess, I can give you a few slaps in the face for this! However, I am your sister, and although I don't have much affection for you, I still kindly give you a piece of advice. The girl's family is a little more open-minded, don't be full of harsh words as soon as she opens her mouth. If you continue like this, you won't be able to find your in-laws!"
"You-"
Mu Zilian was angry, but Mu Yan's words were not finished.
"Second, when I ask you a good question, you'd better give me an obedient answer. I don't know where you got the news, but you're right. I was whipped a few days ago, and the scars on my body have not faded yet. So I'm in a bad mood, don't mess with me if it's okay. If the purpose of stopping me is to find out the news of the Imperial Soul Wall, then please go back. Again, and for the last time, I tell you that I don't know the Tao!"
Word by word, as soon as Mu Yan's voice fell, he flicked his sleeves and walked back. But how could Mu Zilian let her go so easily? I think she came to the palace several times before and after to look for someone, but she was stopped by the guards guarding the door. At this time, I finally had an opportunity, so how could I just let it go.
"Mu Yan, stop me!"
Mu Zilian shouted angrily, but Mu Yan didn't pay attention to it at all. She didn't care about it in a hurry, and rushed forward and grabbed Mu Yan's sleeve. But he never thought that he used too much force, and this tugging actually pulled down half of his sleeve, exposing a large piece of Mu Yan's fragrant shoulders to the air.
Speaking of which, since Mu Yan came to this era, her daily life has basically been taken care of by her personal maid Hongluan. The rest is okay, but this dress especially gives her a headache. One inside and one outside, layers of clothes and belts, very cumbersome. As the third princess, her clothes are even more complicated.
In the past few days, she has lived in Shen Yan's place, and because Shen Yan is away all the year round, there are few maids in the house. It was inconvenient for her to live there, so in order not to disturb her, she had to solve the matter of dressing herself. She thought that she would be able to see Hongluan when she went back anyway, so when she got up this morning, she casually tied a belt. Now it seems that if there is such a thing, then she would rather tie a dead knot than be lazy.
It's cold in the middle of autumn, and it's early in the morning. As soon as Mu Yan's exposed skin touched the coldness, it immediately made her shiver from the cold. She glared at Mu Zilian with some annoyance, and just wanted to withdraw the sleeve in her hand, but suddenly felt a warmth on her shoulders, and she was actually put on a robe.
She subconsciously looked back, and a familiar breath instantly came from her nose. I only had time to catch a glimpse, and I was gently embraced into my arms. Although I knew that this was just a scene, I still felt a little excited and happy in my heart.
"Three, three princes. ”
Mu Zilian was obviously taken aback, she didn't expect Shen Li to appear here.
Shen Li replied lightly, ignoring her completely. He only looked down at the person in his arms, and said softly: "I saw that the person sent to pick you up has not come back for a long time, and I thought you had forgotten your agreement with me." ”
Mu Yan was not used to this kind of intimate action, and retreated slightly, but was pulled back by Shen Li. She had no choice but to whisper to him: "I promised you, I won't forget." ”
Shen Li smiled lightly at the corners of his mouth, his eyes overflowing with tenderness. For a while, the scene was speechless and a little embarrassing. It wasn't until Mu Zilian couldn't help but cough lightly twice that she finally aroused Shen Li's attention
"Miss Lian is here, is there something wrong with Yan'er?"
Mu Zilian was originally arrogant, but when she saw Shen Li appear, she suddenly withered. According to the news she found, Shen Li was angry and beat Mu Yan before, and logically speaking, he should be very cold to Mu Yan. This time, when she learned that Mu Yan had returned home, she thought that she couldn't bear to lose face, so she automatically went back to seek perfection. But judging from the current situation, it doesn't seem like that?
"Back to the words of the third prince, Zilian has not seen her for a long time since her sister married into the palace. A few days ago, I went to visit the palace, but I didn't expect that the guards at the gate would always refuse to let me in for various reasons. So this time, when I learned that my sister was going out and returning home, I specially stopped me on the road, thinking about having a small get-together with her. ”
"Oh?"
Shen Li raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised. "When did the guards in this king's palace not understand the rules so much? Since they are Yan'er's sister, how can there be any reason to stop them from seeing each other? Miss Lian can rest assured, after going back, this king will reprimand them well, and he will definitely give you an explanation. ”
When Mu Zilian heard this, she shook her head and waved her hand again and again, and a rare shy flush appeared on her face.
"The third prince is serious. This palace is not something that ordinary outsiders can enter. The guards at the gate are so strict, they should be praised, how can they be harsh?"
"Miss Lian said with a smile, where are you considered an outsider?"
Shen Li smiled slightly, completely without the indifferent appearance in the mansion in the past. At this moment, his expression was soft, his tone was humble, if he was not a familiar person, he would just be dazzled and recognize the wrong person.
Mu Yan's heart had already churned, and it was only now that he realized what kind of person he was in love with. When it comes to fickle disguise, Shen Li is definitely a good player. Last time he was fed, this time he was in love, Mu Yanda admired his acting skills from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, he and Mu Zilian were chatting with each other word by word. Mu Yan had no intention of interrupting, but his nose suddenly itched, and he didn't hold back, and sneezed coldly.
It had the same effect as Mu Zilian's light cough just now, but one was deliberate and the other was unintentional. Shen Li instantly looked down at her, and naturally reached out to tighten her robe for her.
"It's cold in autumn, and your body has just recovered and can't be frozen, so it's better to go back with me quickly. ”
Mu Yan was indeed a little cold, and he didn't shirk it, and nodded obediently. After that, Shen Li politely said goodbye to Mu Zilian, and then pulled Mu Yan to sit in a sedan chair and leave
