Chapter 228 Ancient Fangirls Also Go Crazy
Startled by the actions of the two maids, Su Mowan turned around and found that the door had already been closed.
It's just baffling.
Just then, Su Mowan heard a faint sound of water coming from behind the screen.
Su Mowan thought that she should explain her absurd actions to Murong Jing beforehand, so that Murong Jing could be mentally prepared to take the blame if anything happened...
Of course, she believed that Murong Jing would have a way to cover it up.
As she walked around the screen, Su Mowan only had time to catch a glimpse of a back before she was so frightened that she quickly turned around.
Murong Jing is taking a bath!
Fortunately, Murong Jing was facing away from the door. If she had gone around the screen and made eye contact with him, she probably would have gotten a nosebleed.
Su Mowan never denied that Murong Jing was handsome, but his expression was poor, like he had a facial paralysis.
At this moment, Murong Jing was bathing with his back to her. All she could see was his long, ink-black hair draped over his bare back and his shoulders above the water...
Su Mowan was too embarrassed to look anymore.
I vaguely remember the feeling when I leaned against it, and my heart fluttered gently.
Hearing the noise, Murong Jing paused, turned his body slightly to the side, and turned his head.
Su Mowan also looked up, her gaze immediately meeting his dark eyes, and they remained locked in a tug-of-war.
A hazy mist floated on the water's surface.
Murong Jing's cold and handsome face looked strangely softer at this moment.
His perfect profile made Su Mowan's heart skip a beat.
A handsome man emerging from a bath is indeed a sight to behold...
Su Mowan immediately became shy. She quickly looked away and said before Murong Jing could speak, "Um, I'll go out and wait! I'll come back in a bit!"
After saying that, he turned and quickly headed for the door.
Seeing her evasive expression, as if she was embarrassed, Murong Jing's thin lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and let her push open the door and leave.
The two maids standing at the door stared intently at her as she came out.
Su Mowan was already feeling a bit guilty from the scene she had just witnessed, and now, being stared at so openly by the two of them, she couldn't take it anymore.
She immediately felt uncomfortable, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"It's so hot inside, I'm coming out for some fresh air! I'm going to the flower hall now, come and call me when your prince is ready!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already darted a full ten feet away.
The two maids exchanged a glance, then covered their mouths with their sleeves and laughed.
Su Mowan arrived at the flower hall like a gust of wind, only to belatedly realize that her reaction just now seemed too cowardly!
It wasn't her who was showing off her spring scenery; it was Murong Jing, with his icy face, who should be ashamed!
Beauty is indeed alluring; it even clouded her judgment!
Thinking about how those two maids might make fun of her, Su Mowan bit her lip and kicked the potted plant in front of her hard.
Just then, a figure walked over from the other side of the flower hall. Upon seeing her, the figure excitedly skipped over in a few steps.
"Sister-in-law! Why are you here alone so late?"
It is the Seventh Princess, Murong Yu.
Su Mowan quickly pulled her foot back and smiled at the Seventh Princess: "Why aren't you asleep either?"
The Seventh Princess lives in the same room where she was injured last time. Although it is located a bit further inside, it is no less nice than Su Mowan's Huangfeng Garden.
It was late at night, and the Seventh Princess had wandered over by herself, which made Su Mowan a little worried.
So before the Seventh Princess could speak, she added, "Why are you alone? Is no one with you?"
It wasn't that Su Mowan was making a fuss, but the Seventh Princess was of noble status, and there had been quite a few assassins these past two days. If anything went wrong, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Emperor Moyao and the Empress.
After all, it was she who agreed to let the Seventh Princess stay overnight at the Prince's residence.
The Seventh Princess knew what she was worried about, and waved her hand dismissively: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. There are secret guards everywhere in the mansion. I know that. I guarantee that not even a fly can get in, let alone a living person!"
"..."
You seem to have a lot of confidence in the Prince's secret guards.
Su Mowan thought of the case from that afternoon. Although the Seventh Princess might not know the specifics of what happened, she should know something about the outcome.
So she asked the Seventh Princess, "When did Vice Minister Song leave Qingchengfang today?"
"That is, about half an hour after you left, Minister Song took away that dancer named Xiaoxiao or something."
"Did Young Master Lu also leave together?"
When Lu Yifeng was mentioned, the Seventh Princess rolled her eyes, clearly disliking him.
"That young master Lu is really arrogant. He only behaves himself in front of the third prince. Even in front of the eldest princess, he is very impolite!"
Su Mowan's heart skipped a beat, and she asked casually, "Oh? What's wrong? Why was he so rude to the eldest princess?"
"That young master Lu is so eccentric. Didn't he say he could read feng shui when we were at the door? But when he saw my eldest sister, he said he could read faces! He even said my eldest sister's face looked bitter, and that she was destined for a life of toil and hardship!"
The Seventh Princess took a breath and continued angrily, "That's utter nonsense! If my eldest sister is destined to toil and struggle, then wouldn't I be destined to suffer from hunger and cold?"
"..."
Su Mowan always felt that there was a hidden meaning in Lu Yifeng's words.
"Did the eldest princess and Young Master Lu know each other before?"
The Seventh Princess shook her head: "Of course I don't know him. If I did, I would have run far away long ago. Why would I stand here waiting for that lunatic to come and have his episode!"
"..."
Su Mowan somewhat agreed that Lu Yifeng was called a lunatic.
However, if the eldest princess and Lu Yifeng really didn't know each other before, why did Lu Yifeng insist on looking at the eldest princess's face instead of the seventh princess's?
For some inexplicable reason, Su Mowan suddenly remembered that after the plum blossom needle shot into the house, she immediately climbed out the window, but couldn't find anyone.
All that could be seen was the eldest princess's palanquin disappearing around the corner.
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
Su Mowan found it unbelievable. She stared with her peach blossom eyes, her facial expressions changing in a very interesting way.
The Seventh Princess was talking enthusiastically when she noticed that her sister-in-law wasn't responding. She turned to her sister-in-law with a puzzled look and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"No no!"
Su Mowan smiled at the Seventh Princess to cover her embarrassment, and then said, "It's getting late, why don't you go back and rest?"
Upon hearing that she was to be sent away, the Seventh Princess became unhappy and clung to Su Mowan's arm, pouting, "Oh, sister-in-law, I've finally managed to come out of the palace once, can't you spend more time talking to me?"
Su Mowan had no choice but to surrender.
"Okay, okay, I'll keep you company. Go ahead and say it."
The Seventh Princess then released her arm, took her wrist, and led her to the tea table. She took out an embroidered handkerchief from her bosom and used it to cushion the chair before letting her sit down.
He said smugly, "Now it won't be cold anymore, right?"
Su Mowan nodded awkwardly, but felt very ashamed.
She felt very guilty for being treated so well by one or two people!
After the Seventh Princess was seated, Su Mowan said, "What do you want to say? Begin."
Unexpectedly, a moment of shyness flashed across the Seventh Princess's face. She hesitated for a while, which was rare for her, before saying, "Sister-in-law, I'm only telling you. Don't tell my Third Brother. I haven't even told my Eldest Sister!"
Su Mowan immediately became alert. Could it be that he had come to confide in her about her girlish feelings of first love?
If it were true, she couldn't keep it from Murong Jing, since Murong Jing truly doted on the Seventh Princess.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the Seventh Princess became anxious.
"Oh, sister-in-law, you have to swear! Just say you won't tell anyone! Otherwise, otherwise I'll curse my third brother to be a restless sleeper and to lie on top of you every day!"
"..."
Is the Seventh Princess too innocent, or is she too impure? Who knew she could be so savvy when it comes to making suggestive remarks…
Su Mowan had no choice but to promise not to tell anyone, and the Seventh Princess was satisfied.
Then he leaned closer and said mysteriously, "Sister-in-law, I saw a very handsome man outside Qingchengfang today!"
"..."
"It's so beautiful!"
"..."
Seeing that she didn't speak, the Seventh Princess thought she didn't believe her, so she put on a serious face with a slightly chubby and childish expression.
"Don't you believe me? I'm telling you the truth! Today, I was staying in that dead dancer's room with Yinshuang and that crazy Lu Shenjing, and when I looked out the window, I saw my third brother's carriage coming from afar, so I went straight downstairs to greet it."
Who knew, across from Qingchengfang, I saw a carriage with the curtain lifted, and I could see the man inside! He... he saw me too! He even smiled at me!
"..."
It really is a young girl's first love.
"His carriage was originally parked opposite Qingchengfang, but before my third brother's carriage could even get close, he lowered the curtain and had his carriage driven away."
The Seventh Princess spoke with a look of disappointment mixed with reminiscence.
Su Mowan's eyelashes fluttered, and she asked the Seventh Princess, "Do you remember what kind of man he was? I mean, his appearance."
"Of course I remember! This person is a rare sight, only found in heaven! He's just so handsome! The most handsome man I've ever seen!"
Seeing that the Seventh Princess had entered her infatuation mode again, Su Mowan had no choice but to interrupt her: "You've met Shangguan Qingqi, haven't you? Are you even more handsome than Shangguan Qingqi?"
"Of course!"
The Seventh Princess did not hesitate.
"Shangguan Qingqi looks like a fox spirit, while that young master looks like a god! He seems to be untouched by worldly affairs, with features so exquisite that he's the most handsome man I've ever seen! Shangguan Qingqi can't compare!"
"..."
Even ancient female fans went crazy!
It seems that even the Seventh Princess couldn't give a clear answer. However, this person happened to stop at the entrance of Qingchengfang and set off before Murong Jing arrived.
There's something strange about this.
The Seventh Princess was still excitedly talking, not caring whether Su Mowan was still listening to her. She kept saying, "If I see him again, I will definitely go up and ask him which family's young master he is! Hmm, he likes to linger on the street. It seems I will have to come out of the palace more often in the future!"
Su Mowan was startled back to her senses by these words.
He immediately said, "Don't be silly. Things have been rather unsettled these past few days, and your third brother has been busy lately, so don't run around aimlessly and cause trouble for others."
This time, the seventh princess did not protest strongly, but instead winked at her.
He added rather ambiguously, "Sister-in-law, I didn't realize you were so good at taking care of my third brother."
"..."
I feel sorry for the bird.
Remembering that Murong Jing was still taking a bath, Su Mowan's face suddenly felt hot.
Just as I was wondering why it wasn't ready yet, I heard footsteps behind me.
The maid arrived and, with a smile, invited her back to her room.
The seventh princess made another series of winks and gestures, and finally got up to say that she wanted to go back to bed.
Su Mowan, accompanied by her maid, returned to Murong Jing's bedroom.
This time, Murong Jing had already tidied himself up and sat down on the bed, but the bath tub was still in the room.
Moreover, the steam coming out of the bucket was even more intense than before.
The water has obviously been changed.
