Chapter 74: When things go wrong, there must be a demon
Feng Muching shook all the absurd thoughts out of her mind, picked up the wine glass on the table again, and took a sip.
"This wine is good."
"Qingqing, do I still need to take care of him?" Jun Ruye felt aggrieved.
"I'm friends with Mr. Yu. I know he's going back to Nanyue, so there's nothing wrong with him coming here to see him off." Feng Muqing tilted her head, her clear eyes only showing the reflection of Jun Ruye.
The reflection in her eyes was clear at a glance. Jun Ruye's heart stopped and an indescribable emotion surged into her heart.
"Like night? Like night?"
Seeing Jun Ruye looking at him blankly, already in a daze, Feng Muqing called him a few times.
Hearing her call, Jun Ruye came back to her senses instantly, and a warmth quietly climbed to the tip of her ears.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing him come to his senses, Feng Muching asked.
Jun Ruye shook her head repeatedly, but her heart started to panic.
"It's nothing." Jun Ruye suppressed the strangeness in her heart and said seriously: "Where is Mo Yue?"
"I asked her to go to the suburbs of Dongcheng."
"You should let her stay with you in the future. What happened last time..." Jun Ruye's words suddenly stopped, and the worry on her face was clearly visible.
Seeing his appearance, Feng Muching was moved. She smiled and said comfortingly: "I am no longer the same as before. You don't have to worry."
She knew that Chu Longyue's incident made everyone worried last time, but her strength now was not the same as back then, not to mention she still had Jiujiu.
"There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Only when you have someone by your side do I feel at ease."
"Mo Yue has a more important mission. I will go to Tianfu College soon, and Jiujiu will go with me."
Thinking of that mysterious and charming woman, Jun Ruye felt strange in his heart. He believed in Mo Yue more than Jiujiu whose origin was unknown.
"Tianfu Academy is an excellent place to improve your cultivation. Mo Yue going with you will not only protect you, but also take the opportunity to improve your own strength."
Feng Muqing pondered for a moment and felt that Jun Ruye's words were reasonable, but when she thought about the matters involving the Red Mansion and Wuying Pavilion, she had to have someone she trusted watch over them, so she still shook her head.
"I have my own arrangements for Mo Yue to stay in Beiyi."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Jun Ruye sighed silently and stopped interfering. If he offended her, he would be the one crying.
"Jiujiu is by my side, so you don't have to worry. On the other hand, Sikong Ruxuan is eyeing me, and there are five thousand elite soldiers on the Wuming Mountain outside the city. The Regent's Palace is even more worrying."
Feng Muqing had a solemn look on her face and her thoughts were spinning a thousand times. She was afraid that when she came back from Tianfu Academy, the Regent's Palace would be severely damaged.
"Those five thousand elite soldiers are not easy to move. I will not give him this chance."
The sworn words hit Feng Muching's heart like a heavy hammer, and the inexplicable emotions welling up in her chest shocked her whole body.
This buddy of hers has a good momentum, and he is worthy of being the person she wants to protect!
Yu Qingfeng and Yu Qingtang left Beiyi soon. Feng Muqing felt a little melancholy in her heart, and within a moment she felt happy for him.
Although they didn't interact much, this man made her feel very comfortable. If he became the Nanyue Emperor, the two countries would definitely not go to war.
Moreover, he has not been back for seventeen years, so now he can be considered a proud return to his hometown.
The time for recruiting disciples from the four major academies was getting closer and closer. Feng Muqing was ready to go and made it clear to Feng Tianxiao and others early that they should go to the academies to participate in the selection.
I also took some time to visit the headquarters of Wuying Pavilion. Mo Yue was very efficient in doing things and the place she chose was very suitable.
The terrain is steep and backed by cliffs, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. More importantly, this place is located on an extremely secluded barren mountain and is inaccessible to people.
After deciding on the site, Feng Muqing and Mo Yue studied the construction plan of Wuying Pavilion together, and stayed there for seven days.
On this day, Mo Yue handed Feng Muching a post and said respectfully, "Master, a post from the eldest princess's residence."
Princess's Mansion?
Feng Muqing took the post with a confused face, puzzled.
She had never met the eldest princess, so why would she leave a message for her? She always felt that this was something weird.
"What kind of person is this eldest princess?" Feng Muqing opened the post in her hand and asked Mo Yue.
Mo Yue was an expert at gathering intelligence under Jun Ruye, and it was easy to get information about these people. Feng Muqing was very grateful to Jun Ruye for giving her such a good helper.
"The eldest princess is the sister-in-law of the emperor's mother. Her name is Sikong Ruyue. She is very low-key on weekdays. She left the palace early to start a palace. She loves elegance."
Sister Sikong Ruxuan?!
It is well known to everyone that Sikong Ruxuan and Jun Ruye are at odds with each other. Even if the eldest princess does not care about world affairs, she should have heard about it.
I'm afraid this invitation to the flower viewing party is...
"This eldest princess is not like a member of the royal family at all. She is a Buddhist, her hands are not stained with blood, and she is an extremely kind person."
Feng Muqing raised her brows slightly. Mo Yue's comment made her wonder whether the eldest princess was truly kind, or whether she had the face of a Guanyin and the heart of a poisonous scorpion.
"If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and we need to be fully prepared for this." Feng Muqing closed the invitation, "Since you are kindly inviting me, I will naturally refuse to accept it."
A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her cunning fox eyes flashed.
Regardless of whether the eldest princess invites her sincerely or has other motives, she, Feng Muqing, is always waiting for her!
In a blink of an eye, the day came when the eldest princess invited her to a flower-viewing banquet. Feng Muqing and Mo Yue were about to go out for the appointment, but they encountered Jiujiu blocking their way.
Looking at the naturally charming woman in front of her, Feng Muching cleared her throat unnaturally, feeling a little embarrassed.
It had been how long, but she still couldn't look directly at Jiujiu's face, which brought disaster to the country and the people.
"Feng Muqing, you went out without me again?!" Jiujiu put her hands on her hips, her face full of accusations.
Since she followed Feng Muching to the Prince Regent's Palace, she only went to the Royal Hunting Ground that day to join in the fun. After that, this person seemed to have completely forgotten her existence and did not look for her.
Just then he saw that she was about to go out with Mo Yue, and Jiujiu hurriedly followed her and stopped her.
"Have you finished visiting Kyoto these days?"
Feng Muching smiled sheepishly. These days, all kinds of chores came together, and she really forgot about Jiujiu.
Jiujiu frowned tightly and said with dissatisfaction: "How many days have passed? Kyoto is such a big place, is it possible that I can still visit it for a year and a half?!"
The corner of Feng Muqing's mouth twitched, thinking of Jiujiu's strength, even if she was not allowed to follow, she might quietly follow him.
"I can't bring you with me openly today." Feng Muqing's eyes indicated that she must have said it clearly enough.
Jiujiu really understood and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I will never ruin your plan."
As a result, this little episode before going out was solved effortlessly, and Feng Muching and Mo Yue got on the carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace and headed to the Eldest Princess's Palace.
The breeze was gentle, and the warm golden light spread across the earth, splashing out a spectacular ink painting.
