Chapter 58 The prince comes to the border?
When Chu Mo arrived at Jing Yun's courtyard, the latter had just finished washing up and having breakfast.
Seeing the master coming, Chu Xue saluted and called, "Master."
Hearing the voice, Jing Yu raised her eyes from the food and met Chu Mo's smiling eyes. The corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably, and her voice was soft: "Chu Xiaomo."
Chu Mo responded, sat next to her, and took out the warm sugar cake: "Here."
"Sugar cake!" Jing Xuan's eyes lit up.
"I bought it when I sent Tuoba Xun away."
Jing Xuan took the cake and asked in confusion: "Leaving? He left?"
Chu Mo nodded and reminded: "Eat it while it's hot."
"Don't we have to play for a few more days? Ah——" Jing Xuan paused while unwrapping the paper, and realized: "Is it because of yesterday's assassination?"
"Yes." Chu Mo took the cake, tore off the packaging, and handed it to her.
Jing Xuan took it and ate it mouthful by mouthful: "Delicious~"
She couldn't help shaking her head, very satisfied.
Chu Mo looked at it and his heart softened.
Jing Xuan glanced at him and happened to meet his gentle eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she even slowed down the way she was eating the cake.
"What's wrong?" Chu Mo asked.
Jing Xuan shook her head and said, "You must be very busy today."
Yesterday’s events must not have been completely dealt with, and Chu Mo definitely did not have time to accompany her. Jing Yu knew this very well.
Sure enough, Chu Mo said: "Yes, there are still many things to deal with."
"Then go and do your work, don't worry about me." Jing Yu smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Chu Mo pursed his lips: "I will take care of things today and accompany you tomorrow."
"Okay, okay." Jing Yu smiled, "I'll wait for you."
Since she said so, Chu Mo had no choice but to leave first. Before leaving, he glanced at Chu Xue and said, "You will receive your punishment in a few days. Protect the young lady well."
"yes!"
Chu Mo glanced at Jing Yu again, and his tone instantly became gentle as water: "Let's go."
Jing Xuan saw him out of the room, and seeing Chu Xue arranging people to clean up the dishes, she went next door alone.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xiao Fu saw her, "Miss Chu."
"Good morning." Jing Yu greeted her, "Sister Li, have you had your meal?"
"I've been in, and I'm reading a book now. Miss, you can go in directly."
Jing Xuan walked into the room holding her dress and called softly, "Sister Li."
The room was simply and neatly decorated, with a faint fragrance wafting slowly over, calming the mind and sweeping away restlessness, making one feel as calm and peaceful as Li Qing himself.
As soon as he heard Jing Xuan's voice, Li Qing put down the book in his hand. As soon as he stood up, he saw Jing Xuan coming in. He immediately smiled softly: "Xu Xuan, good morning."
Yesterday, Li Qing witnessed Jing Yun almost being killed, and he was terrified. He was not relieved until the general arrived. After returning home, he hurried to visit Jing Yun next door.
Only after confirming again and again that Jing Xuan was fine did I feel relieved. Otherwise, I would have had trouble sleeping at night.
Jing Xuan was in a somewhat sluggish state yesterday, but today she has returned to her usual self, and Li Qing is completely relieved.
Xiao Fu poured tea for the two of them. Li Qing was about to speak when she saw Jing Yu glance sideways, her eyes fixed on her unfinished purse.
Li Qing: "What's wrong?"
Jing Xuan pursed her lips and said, "Sister, it's like this, I'm also very good at needlework, but..."
"?"
“I have given all the embroidered purses and sachets to my family, but this time I want to give them to other people. No, I don’t know what pattern to embroider.” Jing Xuan said, lowering her eyes to stare at the tea, hiding the helplessness in her eyes.
Li Qing raised his eyebrows and fell on her red earlobe, covered his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Are the others... the ones you like?"
Jing Xuan lowered her head a little more, looking at her reflection in the water cup. Her cheeks felt hot, and she said in a muffled voice, "Well... yes."
Li Qing chuckled; "Do you know about mandarin ducks playing in the water?"
"I know, but, but it's a little obvious." Jing Yu hesitated and hesitantly said, "What if, what if he doesn't want it, I'll be very embarrassed."
Li Qing laughed: "Silly sister, you are going to give a purse, are you afraid that others can't guess your thoughts?"
Jing Xuan froze: "No way, he might think that I am sending him as a sister."
"So he is... my lover?"
Li Qing rarely joked. Jing Yu's cheeks immediately turned red, her pupils dilated, and she quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no."
The young girl was too innocent to fall in love. Li Qing felt that if he continued to tease her, she would cry anxiously. So he stopped joking and thought: "In this case, why not embroider something he likes."
"Something you like?"
"You can ask him what kind of scenery he likes, mountains and rivers, animals, swords and short flutes, as long as he likes it and you can make it."
Jing Xuan's eyes lit up: "Okay! I'll go ask him!"
"Do you have needles and thread?" Li Qing asked, "I have a lot, I can give it to you."
"Okay, thank you, sister."
Jing Xuan clenched his fists and puffed his face aggressively.
——Just wait, Chu Xiaomo, this princess is going to pursue you!
…
On the other side, just as Chu Mo finished interrogating the man, he saw Chu Feng rushing over with an anxious look on his face.
Chu Mo frowned, exempted Chu Feng from the formalities, and went straight to the point: "What's the matter?"
Chu Feng: "Master! I just received news that Tuoba Xun has thrown all our people away and rushed to the grassland!"
"Grassland?!" Chu Mo's eyes darkened: "He didn't go to the capital?"
"No." Chu Feng lowered his voice: "At the same time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a message that he will come to the border in person after the Seventh Princess's coming-of-age ceremony."
Chu Mo: "You didn't tell me the reason?"
"No." Chu Feng, who was always out of tune, looked solemn and heavy.
"When will you be back?"
Knowing that he was assigned to protect Tuoba Xun, Chu Feng replied, "Within an hour."
"Let them come to see me in person."
"yes!"
Why did the prince come to the border in person?
Jing Ce didn't know that Jing Yun was at the border, so it was impossible for him to do anything for her. So what was there that was worthy of the prince's personal trip?
After thinking about it, Chu Mo pursed his thin lips. Perhaps, there was only one possibility.
——The prince is going to take action on the grassland.
It seems that the attack on Tuoba Xun really angered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
And what about Tuoba Xun?
Why did you suddenly return to the grassland?
Chu Mo closed his eyes, guessing something in his mind, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head helplessly.
"Thank you very much, but it's a pity for your Zui Hong Lou."
When Tuoba Xun returns to the grassland, Tuoba Xiao and Nan You's attention will be focused on him, so they will have neither the time nor the energy to hurt Jing Xuan.
——Tuoba Xun did this to protect Jingxuan, but more importantly, he did it for his best friend.
However, his plan to take this opportunity to visit Dasui again like he did when he was young was ultimately ruined, and he was not even able to see Jingce.
Chu Mo raised his head, looked at the sky outside the tent, and frowned.
It was a clear and crisp autumn day, with the blue sky and white clouds complementing each other, which was very beautiful. However, Chu Mo slowly frowned and stopped talking.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little flustered. Perhaps it was because he learned that the prince was coming to the border, or perhaps it was...
He looked towards the grassland, his heart pounding, and the feeling of uneasiness almost engulfed him!
"Chu Feng!" Without waiting for Chu Feng to respond, he gave the order in a deep voice: "Send a message to Chu Lei - protect Tuoba Xun. When necessary, don't worry, kill Tuoba Xiao immediately!"
Chu Feng was stunned, and quickly clasped his fists: "Yes!"
Chu Mo looked outside the tent and murmured, "Tuoba Xun, you'd better remember what you said!"
"Don't do anything stupid!"
