Chapter 69 Not Jealous

When he pushed open the door, he saw the girl sitting on a chair. Master Mu, who was dressed in white and usually kept strangers away, was squatting in front of the girl with medicated oil in his hand.

It seems like he is applying medicine.

The next curse words in Ji Yanxing's throat suddenly got stuck.

Fortunately, it’s just applying medicine.

Wait, Master Mu applied medicine to Qingyan?

Does Qingyan need him to apply medicine to her?

Besides, Mu Xianzhi doesn't look like the kind of person who would kneel down and apply medicine to others, right?

Ji Yanxing's mind was confused for a moment.

His eyes were fixed on the kneeling man, who was also looking at him calmly.

Those eyes certainly didn't look like he had any improper thoughts about the girl.

Mu Xianzhi's expression remained the same, but he was clearly displeased at being interrupted. He said, "His Highness Tang Ning's leg was injured. I'm applying some medicine to His Highness. Is there anything wrong, General Ji?"

"What does General Ji think I'm doing?"

"Kicking open my door and talking back to the commander, General Ji is really becoming more and more capable." Mu Xianzi didn't stop his movements, still kneeling on one knee on the ground, applying medicine to the girl in front of him.

Even though he was in a low position, the man was still not in a weak position. He asked Ji Yanxing speechless with every word he asked.

Mu Xianzhi's questioning made the atmosphere in the room a little low. Ji Yanxing was indeed in the wrong, and for a moment he could not say anything to refute. He could only bow his hands and apologize, "I am rude, please forgive me, Master."

Mu Xianzhi was Ji Yanxing's teacher after all, so he was a bit too judgmental.

Ling Qingyan, who was standing beside him, smiled and tried to lighten the mood: "General Ji, what's the matter that has you come here in such a hurry?"

What's the matter?

Ji Yanxing couldn't say that he just happened to hear a student's words, and that he became suspicious because he heard Mu Xianzhi always called Qingyan away alone.

Then what is the difference between him and those dirty-minded people like Ling Zhao?

What if His Highness hates him?

Ji Yanxing's eyes fell on the bracelet on Ling Qingyan's wrist that he had personally put on her.

"Oh, I remember now." Ji Yanxing suddenly had an idea and walked towards Ling Qingyan, saying with a smile: "I came here to tell Your Highness that this bracelet is a family heirloom of my Ji family. It is the bracelet of every wife of the Ji family's patriarch. Your Highness should keep it well and don't give it to anyone else."

"It suits Your Highness very well." The red-clothed youth's gaze was unconcealed and extremely passionate.

He was not lying. This white jade lotus bracelet was indeed the property of the wives of the family heads of all generations.

As for why it was in his hands, it was naturally because the family affairs had been almost dealt with, and he became the head of the Ji family in place of his father.

There was a sudden pain at the wound on her leg, and Ling Qingyan took a breath.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Ji Yanxing asked with concern.

"Nothing." Ling Qingyan tugged at the bracelet on her wrist. "I didn't know it was so valuable. Take it back. I can't accept it."

It was not only a warning from Mu Xianzhi next to him, but from Ling Qingyan's own perspective, she couldn't accept it.

The boy's eyes were too passionate, his love too intense, making her seem so despicable and hypocritical.

It is indeed too valuable and should be given to a woman who truly loves him, rather than to a strategist who comes with a mission, tells lies and is ready to leave at any time.

Ling Qingyan hurriedly took off the bracelet on her hand. Ji Yanxing felt a little uncomfortable, and Mu Xianzhi next to him felt even worse.

Did Ji Yanxing really think that His Highness liked him? How ridiculous, as ridiculous as a clown. Little did he know that the girl in the marriage hall that day was just trying to stop the marriage and said something in a fit of rage.

How stupid and narcissistic! Can't he see that the girl doesn't like him?

He had seen the look of a girl when she truly loved someone, so she wouldn't be so anxious to take off the bracelet.

The more anxious she was, the harder it was to take it off. Ji Yanxing stopped her hand movement.

"Your Highness, I, Ji Yanxing, never take back anything I give away. If I give it to you, it's yours. I won't take it back even if you give it back to me." Fearing that the girl would insist on returning it to him because she thought it was too valuable, he continued, "Your Highness, just keep it for me."

"And it hasn't been picked yet, which means Your Highness has a connection with it. It likes Your Highness and it belongs to Your Highness." A breeze blew, and the boy's hair fluttered. The love between his eyebrows was hard to ignore.

The boy's voice was like the gurgling of water, gentle and affectionate, and every word he spoke was filled with beautiful and passionate love words.

Having said that, Ling Qingyan found it hard not to be moved, and it was hard for her to refuse. However, considering the sinister gaze from the man below, which she could feel even without him looking at her, she said, "Then I'll keep it for you for the time being."

Ling Qingyan particularly emphasized the word "temporary".

Let Mu Xianzhi hear it clearly.

Ji Yanxing also heard it clearly, but he just thought that the girl wanted to wait until they were officially married before officially becoming the owner of the bracelet.

Ji Yanxing wanted to say something, but he heard a voice that was not very kind.

"General Ji, since you know that you have disturbed me rudely, why don't you leave? Have you been in the army for too long and forgotten the basic ethics and morals?" Mu Xianzhi's intention to drive him away was obvious, and his voice was extremely cold.

Although Ji Yanxing was dissatisfied, Mu Xianzhi did not wrongly accuse him.

It was indeed not a good idea for him to barge in like this and not be able to help but tell the truth to His Highness in front of the Grand Tutor.

Seeing Mu Xianzhi's cold expression, Ji Yanxing felt relieved and said awkwardly, "Student, take your leave."

Then his gaze fell on Ling Qingyan, and he smiled brightly, "Your Highness, see you tomorrow."

Ling Qingyan smiled back at him politely.

Ji Yanxing is the only one among these people who is so blatant.

She could make up for it, but wouldn't Master Mu's jealousy kill her?

After the chattering young man in red left, the room was silent again.

Ling Qingyan smiled and slowly said, "Taifu, you are really good at pretending."

"Your Highness, your romantic life is really annoying." Mu Xianzhi looked up at her. The wound on his leg had been treated with medicine. Mu Xianzhi stood up, his shadow cast over the girl.

"I think Ji Yanxing cares too much about His Highness. Doesn't His Highness plan to tell him about the matter?" Mu Xianzhi said in a calm voice, with no smile in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" The girl leaned in closer to look at him, her eyes curved. "Master Mu, are you jealous?"

The girl's eyes were smart and cunning, and she looked at Mu Xianzhi mischievously, as if she really enjoyed seeing the jealous look on the face of the slender and graceful Mu Taifu.

"I'm not jealous." Mu Xianzi said with a hard mouth, his back teeth almost broken.

When Mu Xianzhi thought of Ji Yanxing's narcissistic belief that his prince was interested in him, he felt particularly disgusted by the joke.

How can a person be so ignorant of himself?

Military commanders just don't have brains.

"I'm not jealous." Mu Xianzhi said with a smile, and then continued, "I just want to help His Highness cut off the bad peach blossom."
