Chapter 308 One of you is enough for me, King.
Chapter 308 One of you is enough for me, King.
Su Mowan obediently lay down.
She thought Murong Jing might come over and be affectionate, but Feng Yue handed her a scroll through the window, and Murong Jing opened it and started reading.
And I watched it for a very long time.
Su Mowan wanted to ask why Prince Jin had come back with them, but seeing that Murong Jing was busy, she didn't ask. She yawned twice and then closed her eyes to sleep.
Su Mowan had only intended to close her eyes and rest, but the swaying of the carriage actually made her fall asleep.
When she woke up again, she saw Murong Jing sitting next to her, his legs covered with a blanket, and his upper body leaning against the carriage wall.
The person is already asleep.
Looking up at Murong Jing from below, Su Mowan could see his long eyelashes and slightly bluish-black eyelids, clearly the result of staying up all night.
His thin chin was particularly noticeable from this angle, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and there was a hint of fatigue between his brows.
Seeing that he was wearing a crane cloak, Su Mowan originally wanted to lay him down so he could sleep comfortably, but she was afraid that her movements would wake him up, so she took a fox fur coat that was placed aside and covered Murong Jing with it, tucking him in carefully.
I thought I was moving very quietly, but I still woke the person up.
As soon as Murong Jing opened his eyes, he saw the person close at hand and the fox fur covering him, which made him feel warm all over.
"When did you wake up?"
Su Mowan smiled: "You just woke up. When did you fall asleep?"
Murong Jing removed the fox fur coat and pulled the person into his arms, saying, "How would I know?"
Su Mowan relaxed and leaned against Murong Jing's chest, tilting her head slightly as she said, "Have you always been this busy? It didn't seem like this three months ago."
Three months ago, my complexion was better than it is now, and I wasn't as thin as I am now.
His Highness the Prince of Qin was truly suffering in silence, and Su Mowan was largely responsible for his predicament.
Of course, I am really busy.
So Murong Jing said in a low voice, "It will be fine after this period of time passes."
Su Mowan knew that when he said "this period of time," he meant before he started fighting Yanxue and thoroughly subdued her.
This period of time doesn't seem to be short.
The fact that Yan Xue dared to make a move shows that she was prepared in advance. Even if Murong Jing is a brilliant strategist, it will still take time for him to take down Yan Xue.
Seeing that his complexion wasn't good, Su Mowan struggled slightly and said, "Let's lie down, I'm cold."
As soon as Murong Jing heard her say she was cold, he moved over and lay down with her in his arms.
Su Mowan pulled the blanket up to cover them both up, rested her head on Murong Jing's shoulder, and let out a sleepy yawn, saying, "It seems like it will be a while before we arrive in the capital. Let's sleep for a bit."
Murong Jing gave a faint "hmm" and pulled the person closer.
Sure enough, a short while later, Su Mowan heard Murong Jingqing's shallow and even breathing from above her head.
She was lying on her side, and her back was a little uncomfortable, but she was afraid that if she moved, she would wake Murong Jing, so she endured it and didn't move.
When the carriage arrived at the city gate, Murong Jing woke up.
Su Mowan thought he was awakened by the sounds of the soldiers guarding the city questioning him.
Now that she could finally move, Su Mowan quickly rolled over and lay flat, immediately feeling much more comfortable. Her lower back was a little sore from lying on her side for so long.
Murong Jing heard her let out a soft "ah" and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Su Mowan looked up at him and said through gritted teeth, "My back... hurts."
Actually, it also contained three parts numbing cream.
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Jing's hand was already there, gently pressing and rubbing her waist. After repeating this several times, Su Mowan felt much better.
The carriage started moving again and entered the capital city.
Su Mowan grasped the hand that Murong Jing was massaging for her, said she felt much better, and sat up.
She opened the window and called out to Yinshuang, who immediately rode her horse to the window.
What are your orders?
Su Mowan instructed, "Go to Luohua Pavilion in the west of the city and tell Shen Murui that we may be leaving early tomorrow morning, so that she can prepare."
Su Mowan originally wanted to tell Shen Muyue to pack her valuables, but considering that Shen Muyue was currently penniless, she changed her approach.
Yinshuang sat upright on her horse and replied, "Yes."
Su Mowan lowered the window shutter and turned around, only to see that Murong Jing had also sat up and was tidying his clothes.
After thinking for a moment, Su Mowan asked, "Do you have a villa in Jiangnan?"
Murong Jing paused in his work, startled by the questioning tone. He looked up and asked, "Yes, why?"
Seeing his nonchalant expression, Su Mowan smiled. "Nothing much. I was just curious, you hardly ever have time to stay here, right?"
"Ah."
"Are there any villas in the Jiangnan region? Or elsewhere?"
As Su Mowan spoke, her eyes were fixed on Murong Jing. Perhaps she had previously wondered if Murong Jing might be keeping women at his villa, but she had later dismissed such an impossible guess.
What she wants to know now is exactly how many places Murong Jing has stayed throughout Yunmo.
"There are only two in the Jiangnan region, but there are naturally other places as well. Would you like to visit them both?"
Seeing his serious expression, Su Mowan teased him, "Yeah, I have to go and check on them one by one, just in case you're keeping other women outside."
Murong Jing said, "I only need to support you."
"..."
Su Mowan admitted that she had been charmed again.
But with Murong Jing's serious expression and those sophisticated love words, Su Mowan simply couldn't resist.
"Uh, well, I don't need you to support me. I'm a rich man now. You probably don't know that Su Mobai handed over all the businesses he built up to me."
As Su Mowan spoke, a hint of smugness appeared on her face. If this were in the past, if Su Mowan had money, her first thought would have been to support many gigolos.
Of course, it's just a thought; he has the desire but not the courage.
She had assumed that Murong Jing would be curious about Su Mobai's business, or why he had entrusted it to her.
To everyone's surprise, Murong Jing casually replied, "I know, he told me about it before."
Su Mowan was taken aback: "Before? When?"
"Eleven days ago," Murong Jing gave a specific date.
Eleven days ago?
In other words, Murong Jing knew that Su Mobai was going to do this eleven days ago, but he kept it from her until now without revealing a single thing to her!
Su Mowan had to admire Murong Jing's tight-lipped nature.
"Don't you think this is a bit inappropriate?"
Murong Jing looked over: "Why would it be inappropriate? It's all money anyway, might as well take it."
"..."
What they said made so much sense that I couldn't refute it!
About ten minutes later, the carriage finally returned to the gate of the Prince of Qin's mansion, but it did not stop at the gate. Instead, it entered through the side gate and went all the way to the gate of Fenghua Hall.
Murong Jing got off the carriage first.
The Feng Hua Palace was full of Murong Jing's confidants, so there was no need to worry about being exposed. Therefore, Su Mowan prepared to get off the carriage directly.
Just then, a voice came from the second courtyard gate.
"Get out of my way! Your Consort Su is my own sister! Even His Highness Prince Qin has to show me respect! Do you believe I'll take action if you dare to stop me?"
Su Mowan blinked. Why was Su Ruofeng here at this time? Judging from the way he came in through the main gate, it meant that Su Ruofeng knew that she and Murong Jing had returned to the manor.
So Su Mowan, who was just about to get out of the car, stopped and looked at Murong Jing, signaling him to let the guards let people in.
Feng Yue saw that his master looked unwilling, but he was sure he wouldn't disobey Consort Su.
Before Murong Jing could even nod, Feng Yue raised his voice towards the noisy area and said, "Let Young Master Su in!"
Su Ruofeng, who was arguing with the guards, smugly snorted and said, "Did you hear that? Your Prince Qin is inviting me in!"
"..."
The guard silently withdrew his hand and made way.
Then, Su Mowan saw Su Ruofeng running towards them like a gust of wind.
I was immediately at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
I thought Su Ruofeng had become much more composed lately, but why is he still acting like this?
Su Ruofeng learned of the news half an hour after Su Mowan and Murong Jing left the palace, and rushed back after apologizing to Emperor Moyao.
He knew that Su Mowan was injured last night, but he didn't know it had gotten to the point of a serious miscarriage.
He had loved and doted on Su Mowan since she was a child, and when he learned that Su Mowan had done this, he couldn't stay still for a moment.
At this moment, Su Ruofeng rushed to the carriage and saw Murong Jing standing to the side with a cold expression. Su Ruofeng first cupped his hands in greeting, and then turned to ask Su Mowan, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
His eyes showed genuine concern.
Su Mowan forced a weak smile and said, "No, I'm perfectly fine. Why did you suddenly come back, Second Brother? Without you, the main character, it's no fun with the Emperor."
Su Ruofeng immediately said, "I was worried about you. I didn't know things were so serious last night. I should have gone to see you last night."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yue felt his master's face darken.
That's understandable. Although the Second Young Master Su and Consort Su have a good relationship, it was late at night after all, and the Second Young Master Su is a man. How could he just go and see whenever he wanted?
Not to mention, the Second Young Master Su and Consort Su are not siblings at all.
Just as Feng Yue was pondering this, he heard Su Ruofeng say, "It's windy outside, let's not talk for now, let's go back inside!"
As Su Ruofeng spoke, he reached out and picked up Su Mowan without saying a word.
The action was too sudden. Su Mowan had barely reacted when she was picked up. Her first instinct was to check Murong Jing's expression.
Murong Jing looked unwell, but there was nothing he could do. Su Ruofeng knew that Su Mowan had miscarried, and Su Mowan couldn't walk on her own. He couldn't very well ask Feng Yue to carry her, could he?
So, Murong Jing was both rationally analyzing the situation and emotionally displeased. He was pushed into the Fenghua Palace by Feng Yue, with Su Ruofeng following behind carrying him.
Upon arriving at the bedroom door, Su Mowan saw four maids hurriedly taking their posts.
The four maids were bewildered by their master's sudden return, watching in disbelief as their master's favorite concubine, Consort Su, was held in another man's arms.
Judging from the way they're being carried, they're going to put it in the room.
Their prince was still standing to the side with a dark expression.
So one of them cleverly opened the bedroom door, and Su Ruofeng stepped inside before Murong Jing could move.
