"Are you not leaving this time after coming back? Have the enemy troops surrendered?" Mu Fengqie asked excitedly.
Yuan Yuhan, who had made great contributions, was also very excited. "The enemy troops have surrendered. In a few days, the prince and the seventh princess of the Northern Dark Kingdom will come to the imperial city. At that time, the prince of the Northern Dark Kingdom will talk directly with the emperor."
"I heard that you captured the seventh princess of the Northern Dark Kingdom. Why didn't the seventh princess come back with you? I still want to see what the seventh princess looks like!" Shen Yiru said with a look of anticipation on her face.
Thinking of Bei Moxue, Mu Fengqie didn't have much of a good impression of her. Maybe it was because she was the only woman in the military camp. Anyway, she always felt overwhelmed by Bei Moxue's inexplicable closeness.
Yuan Yuhan was thinking, looking at Mu Fengqie with a complex look in his eyes. "She's quite pretty, but not as good-looking as Lady Jing."
Mu Fengqie always felt something was strange, especially Yuan Yuhan's look that seemed to hold a story, which made her shiver involuntarily. Her intuition told her that there must be something she didn't know had happened.
Hearing Yuan Yuhan's words, Li Wantong lowered her head and stopped talking or looking at anyone. But just like a little transparent person, no one noticed her low mood.
After the group had lunch together, Yuan Yuhan and Li Wantong went back to their own homes respectively, and Shen Yiru returned to her own garden. Only Jing Xunce and Mu Fengqie were left in Tingfeng Garden.
Jing Xunce immediately embraced Mu Fengqie in his arms, greedily inhaling the fragrance on her body. For so many days, he had survived relying on the sachet Mu Fengqie gave him. But still, he felt that each day was like a year. So as soon as the matter on the border was resolved, he rushed back at full speed.
"Qie'er, I miss you. I miss you every day. Do you miss me?" Jing Xunce lowered his head, looking expectantly at Mu Fengqie's expression.
Mu Fengqie looked surprised. She could hardly imagine that a dull and straight - laced man like him could now say "I miss you". It seemed that his change was really not just a little bit.
"I..." Mu Fengqie buried her head in Jing Xunce's chest and whispered, "I don't know."
Seeing Mu Fengqie's shy look, Jing Xunce smiled. He domineeringly lifted Mu Fengqie's head and then unceremoniously planted his lips on Mu Fengqie's soft ones.
Touching that softness, Jing Xunce deepened the kiss. It was not until Mu Fengqie could hardly breathe that he reluctantly let her go.
Mu Fengqie's face was as red as a monkey's bottom at this moment. But it seemed that she was not as averse as she had imagined. Instead, she even felt a little bit of sweetness.
"You've been on the road for so long. Have you eaten?" Mu Fengqie asked shyly with a blushing face.
Jing Xunce shook his head. On the way back, they had rushed at full speed, shortening the journey by almost a day. They simply didn't have time to eat, not even time to drink water.
Mu Fengqie hurriedly rushed to the small kitchen. They had been separated for nearly two months. She wanted to tell him all the things that had happened in these two months.
When she came back, there was some food in her hand. At this time, Jing Xunce had already fallen asleep in bed. She slowly put the food box on the table and then backed out.
Presumably, he must be very tired after rushing on the road. So Mu Fengqie went to the express station and the beauty salon.
Jiang Yanqin saw Mu Fengqie's figure and came to her side with a big smile like a sycophant. "Why do you have time to come here today? Do you miss me? Do you come to see me?"
Mu Fengqie slapped him on the head at lightning speed. "If you're still so disrespectful, be careful I'll kick you out!"
For some reason, Mu Fengqie always felt that Jiang Yanqin was being sarcastic. He seemed different from before. Every time he said such things to tease her. It was really strange.
Jiang Yanqin quickly shut his mouth and looked at Mu Fengqie with a big smile. "I heard that he's coming back soon. You must be very happy, right?"
"He's already back and is resting now. By the way, have you arranged the family of Wu Feng properly?"
"Everything has been arranged properly. Don't you trust my work? There's one thing that I think will be helpful to you. You can investigate that Lou Fan. It's said that his relationship with Lou Mingkou is not very good."
Jiang Yanqin had arranged Lou Fan's family in the countryside. He had transferred them through many places with his own hands. Finally, they ended up in a small mountain village dozens of miles away from the imperial city. He guaranteed that they would definitely not be discovered.
Moreover, from the mouths of those people, he learned that Lou Fan seemed to hate Lou Mingkou very much. He thought this information should be helpful to Mu Fengqie.
Mu Fengqie wasn't very surprised. She had already expected this. To really bring down Lou Mingkou, Lou Fan was indeed a good entry point.
"I'll investigate him. There's one thing I want you to figure out a way for. Make the crown prince and Lou Mingkou fight against each other. Only in this way can we distract his attention."
Mu Fengqie wasn't afraid of trouble. But Lou Mingkou was a cunning old fox. If they didn't find a way to divert his attention, it would be very difficult to find any clues from him.
Jiang Yanqin responded and quickly thought about how to make the two of them fight against each other. Mu Fengqie left the express station after a while.
Xiao Qing, with sharp eyes, saw Mu Xingrou's figure. She quickly told Mu Fengqie, "Miss! Look at that woman... Isn't that Mu Xingrou?"
Mu Fengqie looked in the direction Xiao Qing was pointing. Sure enough, she saw Mu Xingrou in a charming outfit. Seeing Yuan Yuze beside her, Mu Fengqie was momentarily stunned and didn't know how these two got together.
Obviously, Mu Xingrou also noticed Mu Fengqie. She walked quickly towards Mu Fengqie, then looked at her arrogantly, with full of hatred and contempt on her face.
"I wondered who it was. Isn't this the famous Princess Anning? Your Highness has quite a good mood. Why are you stunned when you see your elder sister? Don't you even recognize your own elder sister?"
Mu Xingrou stared at Mu Fengqie angrily and glanced at Yuan Yuze beside her from time to time. During this period, she had been trying her best to please Yuan Yuze, so she hadn't had time to deal with Mu Fengqie.
Unexpectedly, she came to her on her own. Then don't blame her for being rude. She was now a person in the Third Prince's Mansion. Her status was much higher than this unknown princess!
Mu Fengqie responded with a faint smile. "Sister, what are you talking about? It's just that your younger sister is quite curious about why you're in the imperial city. Has brother - in - law come to the imperial city? Why don't I see brother - in - law? Does brother - in - law have something to do? When brother - in - law has time, we can have a casual meal."
