"Right, didn't you also have something to tell me? What on earth do you want to say?" A Ru blinked her eyes and asked playfully.
Yuan Yuhan looked into her clear eyes. He didn't know whether he should say it or not. He had never behaved like this with any other woman before. He knew that his feelings for A Ru were different. He wondered if, once he said it out, A Ru would regard him as a lecher.
If that were the case, wouldn't they even stop being friends? So after some weighing, he decided to hold back his words for the time being and wait until the right moment.
"I came here to apologize to you. I didn't do today's thing on purpose. You shouldn't be mad at me anymore, right?" Yuan Yuhan asked.
Hearing this, all of A Ru's doubts vanished, but instead, she felt a bit disappointed. She wasn't sure what exactly she had been expecting.
"The princess is magnanimous and won't haggle with you. But if you ever dare to make fun of the princess again, I'll surely make you pay!" A Ru deliberately raised her little fist and waved it in front of Yuan Yuhan.
Yuan Yuhan was amused by her cute action. "How could I bear to make fun of such a cute girl like you? Since that's the case, we're friends. Stay away from the crown prince in the future. He's not a good person."
Although it was obvious that A Ru didn't like Yuan Yuchuan, he still worried that an innocent girl might be deceived by the crown prince.
"Got it. I don't even want to have anything to do with such a disgusting person. I'm going to find my cousin. Do you want to come with me?" A Ru asked tentatively.
Her clear eyes were fixed on Yuan Yuhan. One could even see the expectation in them. Without much thought, Yuan Yuhan followed A Ru to the yard where Mu Fengqie and Jing Xinche were.
Mu Fengqie was worried about waking Jing Xinche up as he hadn't regained consciousness. So she moved all the things to the yard. Seeing the two of them walking together, she was quite surprised.
"Why are you two together?" Mu Fengqie asked in puzzlement.
She had been busy and hadn't had time to take care of A Ru. Fortunately, A Ru had been quite obedient. Otherwise, she would really have a huge headache.
"Sister, what are you doing? What are these bottles and jars? I heard that the things you made on the carriage were very useful and beat those grassland people badly. You're really amazing!"
On the way here, she had heard some things from Yuan Yuhan. She immediately admired her cousin. When could she be like her cousin?
Mu Fengqie didn't stop her hands and explained as she worked. "The thing I'm making is called an explosive. It's not finished yet, but I'm sure it'll be successful soon. Once it's successful, we don't have to be afraid of the Tule tribe anymore."
In this era when only swords and daggers were available, with the help of explosives, it was likely that the Tule tribe could be flattened in a second. The power of explosives should not be underestimated.
"Why? What on earth is this thing so powerful?" A Ru asked in puzzlement.
She had always been in the deep palace, so all the things outside were novel and attractive to her.
Mu Fengqie didn't know how to explain the power of gunpowder to the two of them for a moment. When she succeeded, she would let everyone see it with their own eyes.
Just as she was about to speak, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a trembling figure walking out of the door. Yuan Yuhan and A Ru also saw the extremely weak Jing Xinche.
Mu Fengqie was startled and quickly went to support him. "Why are you moving around after you've just woken up? Let me help you in to rest."
Jing Xinche had no idea what had happened. He had been in a coma for two days and two nights. When he opened his eyes, he seemed to hear Mu Fengqie's voice. After walking out, he found that it was really her.
Although Jing Xinche still looked very weak, his eyes never left Mu Fengqie. Seeing that she had returned safely, he felt relieved.
"How do you feel, Brother Jing? You should be fine now, right?" Yuan Yuhan asked.
Jing Xinche nodded and replied hoarsely, "I'm okay."
"For someone like you who doesn't know how to take care of your own body, it's a waste of my effort to save you. Don't you know that you can't be exposed to the wind when you're not fully recovered?" Mu Fengqie glared at him fiercely.
"I heard your voice and wasn't sure if you had come back, so I went to have a look. It'll be okay." Jing Xinche at this moment looked as cute as a well - behaved kitten.
When he was sick, he lost his usual heroism and looked much more docile. Hearing his explanation, Mu Fengqie felt warm in her heart.
"Sister, is he your fiancé? When are you going to take him back to meet Father and Mother?" A Ru looked at the two of them with a mischievous smile.
She was quite satisfied with this fiancé, but he was a bit weak. Presumably, Father and Mother would also be satisfied.
Hearing the voice, Jing Xinche looked at A Ru with a suspicious look in his eyes, full of caution. A Ru couldn't help shivering.
That sinister look was really terrifying. A Ru almost immediately felt a bit of fear towards him.
Only then did Mu Fengqie realize that in her joy, she had forgotten to introduce them to each other.
"Don't look at A Ru like that. She's still young. Don't scare her. The emperor and empress of Tianlin Kingdom are my uncle and aunt. A Ru is the princess of Tianlin and my cousin." Mu Fengqie shrugged helplessly.
Jing Xinche knew that Mu Fengqie's mother was the princess of Tianlin Kingdom. He just didn't expect that when she went back, she would bring back a little girl.
"Brother Jing, you scared A Ru. By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you when you were in a coma. The jade seal is really fake. The one in the palace is a forgery." Yuan Yuhan's face gradually darkened.
The jade seal was extremely important. Once the jade seal was stamped, it was equivalent to the will of the Son of Heaven, and everyone had to obey. If the jade seal was used for something bad, the Qin Dynasty would be in danger.
Actually, Jing Xinche had already expected such a result, so he wasn't very surprised by these words. "Have you found out who stole the jade seal?"
"Not yet, but the fox's tail will surely show itself."
"What did you say? The jade seal was stolen? Isn't there anyone guarding the palace of your Qin Dynasty? How could you lose such an important thing!" A Ru said in surprise.
Even a princess like her who never left the palace knew the importance of the jade seal, yet the Qin Dynasty had lost such an important thing!
