Mu Qi stopped, looked at the candlelight reflected outside the window and pursed his lips. He walked quietly to the door and carefully pushed the door open, but found that it couldn't be pushed. It must have been locked by Fenxiang.
Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty.
Fenxiang was not asleep yet, but she was dozing off. Suddenly she heard a noise and woke up instantly. She glanced at the house in panic, and then there was a knock on the door.
The soft sound frightened her and she immediately became nervous. It was so late, it couldn't be the prince and the prince, who could it be?
She swallowed, stood up slowly, and walked to the door with a gentle step. Her palms were sweating, and she felt very uneasy.
She had been worried since that night. Since Mu Qi was not here, could it be His Highness King Qi?
An alarm bell suddenly sounded in Fenxiang. She stared at the door and did not dare to move. Suddenly, the door was lightly knocked twice. It could be heard that the movements were very gentle, as if they were afraid of disturbing the young lady.
But she still didn't dare to open the door, so she just stood in front of the door.
Mu Qi outside heard the voice and lowered his voice: "Fenxiang, it's me."
Upon hearing his voice, Fenxiang was ecstatic. She looked back at Mu Qingyan and then slowly opened the door. Mu Qi's face came into her eyes.
Mu Qi put his hand to his mouth and made a squeaking gesture, and glanced inside the room. Fenxiang nodded and closed the door gently.
Then he turned around and took Mu Qi's hand and walked further away, making sure not to wake up anyone in the room. Then he glared at Mu Qi dissatisfied, "Where have you been! Such a big thing has happened to the lady!"
It would be a lie to say that I don't blame him. I usually follow him around, but why is he not there at the critical moment? Although the lady asked him to leave, it has been too long.
Is there anything that takes several days?
Mu Qi did not refute her questioning, lowered his eyes and asked expressionlessly: "How is Miss?"
"I was still asleep when I was brought back by the prince. I woke up this afternoon and have already fallen asleep." Fenxiang didn't look good and kept her voice low for fear of waking Mu Qingyan.
Mu Qi raised his head and glanced at the room, "I'll go see her."
"Don't wake up the lady." Fenxiang quickly grabbed him. Men are careless. If the lady is disturbed, she will not be able to sleep well.
Mu Qi was stopped and then looked down at her. Feeling his displeasure, Xiang's hand trembled and she quickly let go of him.
Still not letting go: "It won't be too late to wait until Miss wakes up tomorrow."
No matter what she said, she wouldn't let him in.
"Fenxiang, I am Miss's personal bodyguard. I have been with Miss for many years, and I know her habits very well." Mu Qi's voice was slightly colder, reminding Fenxiang that he is the one who has been with Miss the longest.
Whether it's green sprouts or fennel, he will always come first for the lady.
Mu Qi can be sure and has this confidence.
This fennel has been with the young lady since she arrived, and he doesn't have as many opportunities to be alone with the young lady as before.
In fact, Mu Qi has always had a grudge in his heart, but he has always tolerated it. In addition, he was busy investigating matters, and he was entangled in Mu Ling and the others' affairs.
Having just been suppressed by Fenxiang, all the displeasure in my heart welled up.
To put it bluntly, it is possessiveness towards Mu Qingyan.
Fenxiang was stunned. This was the first time she heard Mu Qi treat him with such a strange tone and stiff attitude.
Although Mu Qi didn't have much communication with her on weekdays, he was helpful, but now he looked cold and indifferent, which really hurt her a little.
If it were daytime now, you could clearly see her shocked expression. She was so shocked by Mu Qi's words that she was speechless for a moment.
After reacting, her eyes turned red and she looked at him in disbelief. If the young lady hadn't been inside, she would have yelled, "Mu Qi, what do you mean? You and I are the ones who serve the young lady personally, how could you do this?"
Say that?!”
How could he say this to her? Although she has only been here for a short time, she really likes the lady and wants to serve her.
Mu Qi pursed his lips. He could not be gentle to anyone except the young lady. When he realized that he had said the wrong thing, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but even so, he would not say it.
Because the green sprouts left a bad impression on him, he was wary of fennel.
Fenxiang really wanted to rush up to him and ask him to wake up. His mind was really busy and he had this attitude towards her when he came back.
Don't take your anger out on her!
"I'm going to see Miss." Mu Qi said a few words with a cold face and left, leaving Fenxiang where he was so angry that he was almost fuming.
Feeling wronged and angry.
She never imagined that Mu Qi would talk like this as soon as he came back, and she could hardly wrap her head around it.
Suddenly, she thought of Qingya, and an incredible thought came to her mind: Did Mu Qi think that she would betray the young lady like Qingya?
Once this idea pops up in your mind and you become convinced, it is difficult to get rid of it, so this is what Fenxiang thinks now.
Fenxiang pursed her lips, feeling extremely wronged and uncomfortable, but Mu Qi actually looked at her like this.
She was heartbroken and didn't want to follow Mu Qi into the house, since he was so guarded against her anyway.
Mu Qi walked without hearing her footsteps, his eyes flickered, then he gently opened the door and walked in quietly.
Walking to the bed, Mu Qingyan slept soundly and breathed evenly.
But his face was not as good as before. Mu Qi felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw it. He slowly knelt down and looked at her closer.
Seeing Mu Qingyan's hand outside the quilt, which was tightly wrapped in white gauze, Mu Qi's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Mu Qi gently put her hand into the quilt. Actually, Mu Qi wanted to see if there were any other injuries on her body. After being missing for so long, it was impossible that only her hand was injured.
But the night was already dark, and the situation was not suitable at the moment, so he had no choice but to give up the idea, get up and leave.
After closing the door again, Mu Qi turned around and saw Fenxiang still motionless. Knowing that she was sad, he frowned slightly and walked towards her.
Then he tried to keep his voice as soft as possible and asked unnaturally: "Tell me about Miss, what happened after I left?"
Hearing his voice, Fenxiang snorted coldly, "You are so powerful, why don't you go check it yourself." Didn't you question her just now, and now you come to ask her why?
Mu Qi's expression turned cold. Since he didn't want to say anything and he wouldn't force it, he naturally had other ways to ask, so he walked straight past Fenxiang.
This man!!!
Fenxiang was shocked again, "Stop! I'll tell you."
She knew that Mu Qi was a piece of wood and rigid, but she didn't expect that he would be so rigid. How could it be so difficult to say soft words?
Upon hearing her words, Mu Qi stopped and looked like he was listening attentively.
It's an important matter involving a young lady, so Fenxiang can't joke around here.
