Chapter 68: The Minister's Usurpation

Ji Yanxing took out the bracelet very naturally, grabbed the princess's hand brazenly, and put the bracelet on the girl's fair wrist.

Ji Yanxing has always been open and honest with Ling Qingyan. He will never forget the sunny day when the girl rushed into the Xuanzheng Hall to interrupt his arranged marriage and declare her love.

In his eyes, the princess would definitely marry him and become his wife.

Ling Qingyan looked at his smooth movements and said with a smile, "General Ji, you're being a bit presumptuous."

The girl's skin was as white as cream, and when the sunlight shone on her, it seemed as if she were glowing, looking extremely delicate.

Ji Yanxing's eyes curved, and he smiled and cupped his hands: "I have overstepped my bounds, and I hope the princess will forgive me."

Chen Mansheng smiled. She knew that Ling Qingyan liked Ji Yanxing, so she tactfully returned to her seat, but she couldn't help but feel happy for her friend.

Now it seems that General Ji must like Your Highness very much.

That's good. Your Highness is such a good person, he should get what he wants.

Ji Yanxing held up the hand with the bracelet on it to face the sunlight. The sunlight penetrated the white jade bracelet, and lotus flowers appeared through the crystal bracelet, pure and clean, without a speck of dust.

"So beautiful!" Ling Qingyan exclaimed sincerely, her eyes shining brightly, like a kitten that found a new toy, she liked the bracelet very much.

The girl stood in the sun, looking up at the bracelet on her wrist. Ji Yanxing stood beside her and looked at her smiling face. The years were peaceful and the boy and girl seemed to be a perfect match.

A perfect match that makes people jealous.

Chen Chuo, who had just accompanied the Eighth Prince into the Hongwenguan, happened to be looking at this beautiful scene.

Her nails dug into her palms, all the muscles in her body were tense, but she still had that perfect smile on her face. She suppressed her emotions deep in her heart and continued to chat and laugh with the Eighth Prince.

"Bang, bang, bang—" Three not-so-small sounds of books hitting the table were heard, breaking the beautiful picture.

In the classroom, books were knocking against the desks, and the oppressive feeling was so strong that Ling Qingyan ran to her seat in a panic almost as a conditioned reflex.

When people are unlucky, they are really unlucky. When Ling Qingyan went back, she bumped into the table again.

Ahhh, it hurts so much!

"Slow down, Your Highness, no one is chasing you." Mu Xianzhi's voice came from the front. Although there was a smile in his voice, Ling Qingyan felt inexplicably creepy.

It could also be that he has a guilty conscience.

But in fact, she didn't do anything. Yes, she didn't do anything just now. It was just a gift from a good friend. Why should he feel guilty?

So Ling Qingyan forced herself to look at Mu Xianzhi without feeling guilty at all.

Why are you knocking? You scared her, so you blame him. Her legs must be bruised.

Mu Xianzhi didn't know who he was explaining to, and said calmly, "Everyone is here. We will start class half an incense stick earlier today."

As always, some people were concentrating and brainstorming.

Some people are confused and distracted.

Some people don't cry or make a fuss, but just smile foolishly at the girl they love.

After the class ended, Ling Qingyan was called away by Mu Xianzhi for no apparent number of times.

When Chen Chuo passed by Ji Yanxing, he said to Chen Mansheng intentionally or unintentionally: "Sister, why did Master Mu call His Highness away again? Master Mu really cares about His Highness. I really envy His Highness."

Shen Chuo's voice was just loud enough for Ji Yanxing to hear.

Chen Mansheng didn't think much about it. Tutor Mu was knowledgeable and capable. His Highness didn't listen carefully in class, so it would be a good thing for His Highness that Tutor Mu could teach him privately.

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have taken great care of His Highness Tang Ning. I've asked Master Mu to teach His Highness well. There's nothing to be surprised about. Is there anything you don't understand? I can teach you when we get back."

"Thank you very much, sister." Shen Chuo's voice was clear and his eyes glanced at Ji Yanxing.

Men are sensitive to things related to their beloved girls.

Shen Chuo happily followed Chen Mansheng away.

Ling Qingyan still followed Mu Xian obediently, like a little chick, and a little chick with an injured leg who had difficulty walking.

Outside, Mu Xianzhi's expression was normal and gentle, and he walked in the corridor with Ling Qingyan.

After entering the room and closing the door, his face immediately darkened.

He felt very unhappy and had many accusations in his heart, and he looked down at me with a kind of intimidating look in his eyes.

He was silent and sullen. He brought Ling Qingyan to his seat and went to the cabinet to look for something.

Ling Qingyan's heart was lifted again. The last time she sat in this position, the experience was not very good.

He's not going to look for paint, is he?

Ling Qingyan's face fell a little, and she tried to hide her mistake by saying, "General Ji is my friend. It's nothing to give a gift to friends."

Mu Xianzhi didn't say anything.

Ling Qingyan played with her sleeves and muttered, "Anyway, I don't think it's a big deal."

Mu Xianzhi still didn't say anything.

He seemed to have found what he was looking for, turned around, looked up at her, and then the next moment.

He knelt on one knee in front of her.

Ling Qingyan almost jumped up in fright, but it was just almost. In ancient times, kneeling on one knee did not mean proposing.

Mu Xianzhi pretended to move her trouser legs.

Ling Qingyan subconsciously dodged.

"Don't move." Mu Xianzhi's voice was low and mellow.

Ling Qingyan's legs were restrained by him.

She looked down at him, and Mu Xianzhi carefully rolled up her trouser legs.

The girl's slender fair skin was exposed, and sure enough, there were bruises.

Ling Qingyan only reacted when she saw the medicinal oil in his hand.

It turned out that they were going to apply medicine to her. She thought they were going to draw those perverted pictures of her again.

Thinking of that perverted painting, Ling Qingyan's face couldn't help but blush.

"I was just applying medicine to you, why are you blushing?" Mu Xianzhi looked up and saw the girl's face, which looked like a sunset glow. He started to have mischievous thoughts and continued, "It's not like I haven't done worse things before."

Ling Qingyan bent down and covered his mouth.

The rabbit looked at Mu Xianzhi viciously, its fur standing on end.

Mu Xianzhi's gaze fell on the girl's leg and he patted it. "Don't be tense. I'm applying medicine on you."

What kind of nonsense is this? Ling Qingyan has never heard that muscle tension in a skin injury would affect the wound.

Mu Xianzhi held Ling Qingyan's ankle. This person had been ignoring him just now, and Ling Qingyan also had bad thoughts.

The other leg kicked towards Mu Xianzhi.

Mu Xianzhi's martial arts skills were not low, and he almost subconsciously blocked it, and the place where he blocked was exactly where Ling Qingyan was hit for the first time.

Ling Qingyan snorted softly and looked at Mu Xianzhi with resentment.

"Bang——"

The door was kicked open violently, and the guards sent by Mu Xianzhi failed to stop Ji Yanxing, so Ji Yanxing rushed in with a sword.

Chen Chuo's words still worked. Although he felt that Mu Xianzhi, a man who was out of touch with the world, was unlikely to have any feelings for Qingyan, but what if? His Highness was so nice, what if this man was a beast in human skin?

Ji Yanxing's suspicion of the man's sin overcame her trust in Master Guangfeng Jiuyue.

He came to Mu Xianzhi's residence in Hongwenguan.

As I reached the door, I heard the girl's painful voice.

Worse than beasts!

Ji Yanxing's blood and energy surged up and all rushed to his brain. His hands were shaking with anger and all the muscles in his body were tense.

"Mu Xianzhi, what are you doing to His Highness?!"

The young man in red appeared in a hurry, and Ling Qingyan and Mu Xianzhi were both stunned.
