Chapter 70 "Suicide?"
After waking up the next day, Jing Xuan remembered what she had forgotten yesterday.
She hurriedly got out of bed, walked to the desk, looked at the purse on the table, and sighed.
Although Chu Mo went to the military camp to do some work yesterday afternoon, it did not affect the birthday party that Li Qing prepared for her.
There was a grand banquet at noon, with a dazzling array of delicious food. All the women in the mansion came to celebrate and stayed with Jingxuan for a long time.
In the afternoon, they invited people to perform juggling, storytelling and drama, and Jing Yu liked every one of them.
Therefore, although Chu Mo was not there, as she said, she was living a really good life.
Because I was so happy, I forgot about giving Chu Mo a surprise for a moment, and only remembered it today.
Thinking about what Chu Mo said, that he would wait for her in the yard early in the morning, Jing Yu's eyes lit up and she hurriedly washed and changed clothes.
Chu Xue came in to help and said to her, "The master said, Miss, don't worry."
"How long did he take to get here?"
Chu Xue: "About an incense stick ago."
Jing Xuan nodded, and after she had packed up everything, she said to Chu Xue, "Let him in."
Chu Xue went out, and after a while, the door creaked open and a handsome man in black clothes walked into the room.
"Good morning, my dear."
Jing Yu smiled and said, "Good morning, Chu Xiaomo."
Chu Mo looked at the little girl in front of him, lifted up her hair with his slender fingers, and said in a gentle voice: "Come, I will comb your hair for you."
Jing Xuan sat obediently on the stool, looking into the smiling peach blossom eyes in the bronze mirror, and frowned slightly: "Why don't you look so good?"
Chu Mo smiled unchanged, combing his hair carefully while answering: "Something happened in the military camp yesterday."
Jing Xuan paused and pursed her lips: "Is it serious?"
"From today's perspective, although the situation is urgent, it is not serious. You don't have to worry."
Jing Xuan did not respond. She was silent for a moment and said in a muffled voice, "You need to be safe. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Chu Mo was startled, raised his eyes to look at the person in the bronze mirror, and said solemnly with a sound from his nose: "Okay, I won't let anything happen to me."
Jing Xuan then responded and stopped talking, quietly watching the young man in the mirror tying her hair.
Chu Mo's hands were very skillful, even better than Chu Xue's. He gently inserted the jade hairpin in the last step: "Alright."
Jing Xuan shook her head gently, and the tassels on the jade hairpin swayed with it, looking quite playful.
"It's really beautiful." She said, "Sister Li has a good eye."
Chu Mo's eyebrows jumped, and he was silent for a few breaths: "I bought it."
Jing Yu: “???”
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Chu Mo's mouth twitched slightly: "Don't believe it?"
"No, sorry." Jing Xuan smiled awkwardly: "I thought..."
How could she know that Chu Mo had such good taste? In her mind, General Chu couldn't even tell the difference between a jade hairpin and earrings. Unexpectedly...
Chu Mo snorted and laughed. Even if Jing Yu didn't say it, he knew what she was thinking. He immediately pinched her soft white cheek in annoyance, "You little heartless girl."
The force was not strong, but Jing Xuan pretended to scream in pain, holding her face in her hands, and muttered pitifully: "It hurts so much!"
This time, the one who was in the wrong suddenly became General Chu.
Jing Xuan's skin was tender, and it turned red when she was gently pinched, as if it was really serious.
Chu Mo really thought he hurt her, and hurriedly said, "Let me see!"
When Jing Xuan withdrew her hand, Chu Mo moved closer. His clear peach blossom eyes had a few bloodshot eyes from staying up late, and they became more moist, shimmering and misty, like a pool of clear water.
Jing Xuan stared at him intently, then suddenly stretched out her hand and pinched Chu Mo's cheek accurately.
His handsome face suddenly changed. Chu Mo looked at her helplessly and let her touch him and rub his face up and down and left and right.
"Are you yelling for fun?" Chu Mo's mouth was stretched into a straight line, and his voice leaked out.
“Fun!”
Since she found it amusing, Chu Mo naturally did not struggle. He just looked at the noisy and laughing little girl with gentle and doting eyes.
She laughed so hard that she fell into Chu Mo's arms, poked his handsome face, and praised him with curved eyebrows: "Chu Xiaomo, you are so good."
Chu Mo puffed up his cheeks, allowing her fingers to poke them. He let out a breath, then puffed up his cheeks again and allowed her to poke him again and again.
If his subordinates saw him in this state, they would suspect that there was something wrong with their master's brain.
After playing enough, Jing Xuan stood up, picked up the two purses on the desk, held them in her hands and showed them to him.
"Pick one."
The purse is embroidered with a very complicated pattern, which is even more difficult to scale down proportionally. However, it was embroidered stitch by stitch. Although it is slightly different from the original, only the outline can be seen and the features are not clear, it is still very delicate.
It is enough to imagine that she is extremely good at needlework and is very dedicated.
There are two pictures, one is a picture of Jing Xuan painted by Chu Mo, and the other is a picture of Chu Mo dancing with a sword painted by Jing Xuan.
During these days, Jing Xuan embroidered the two pictures on the purse stitch by stitch, and she was extremely careful with every stitch.
Chu Mo was stunned, his voice slightly hoarse: "You..."
"Do you like it?"
Men didn't seem to use purses much, and Chu Mo was even less so. She was worried that Chu Mo wouldn't like it.
"Have you been doing this these days?" Chu Mo did not answer, but raised his eyes and stared at Jing Yu deeply.
Jing Xuan nodded.
"Tired?"
Although he didn't know how to embroider, he often watched his mother do it, so he knew it was not easy. It would be extremely difficult to finish embroidering it in a few days.
"Not tired." Jing Xuan smiled and said, "When I think about giving it to you, I don't feel tired at all!"
Suddenly, Chu Mo's heart trembled violently. It hurt, but he felt extremely satisfied.
The little princess was frank and bright, and had no idea how...heart-stirring and heart-pounding these words were.
Chu Mo took the purse embroidered with Jing Xuan and said softly, "I like it. When I think it was given by Xuan Xuan, I like it very much."
Jing Yu blushed slightly: "That's good."
She hung the purse embroidered with Chu Mo around her waist, patted it, raised her chin, and snorted, "From now on, you will always be with this princess!"
Chu Mo laughed and clasped his fists in agreement: "Chu will obey the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
As he spoke, he also hung the purse around his waist, like a huge snowflake falling on his black clothes, attracting quite a bit of attention.
Jing Xuan lowered her head and muttered quietly: "Everyone will know."
Chu Mo raised his eyebrows.
"I know... you are mine." Jing Yu smiled slyly: "General Chu belongs to this princess."
Chu Mo said softly: "Okay, let them all know."
Jing Xuan leaned on Chu Mo's shoulder, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Can you still hear your heart now?"
Chu Mo shook his head: "After you transformed into a human form, you gradually lost your hearing."
He paused and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Jing Yu glanced at him sideways in confusion.
"Although I didn't take the initiative, I did violate your privacy. I was wrong."
Chu Mo has always felt that eavesdropping on people's thoughts was extremely impolite, and it was natural for the little princess to be angry.
Jing Yu shook her head: "I don't blame you."
"You don't want to do this either. These bizarre things are not something we can control. I don't blame you. What's more, she tilted her head and said with a smile, "You did this so that I can live a better life, didn't you?"
Chu Mo paused, then hugged Jing Xuan into his arms and said softly, "Xu Xuan is so nice."
The affection between the two was almost physical, and there was deep love in their gazes. Even without speaking, they were content to be with each other.
However, happiness is always short-lived. After a while, Chu Xue knocked on the door and said loudly, "Master, Chu Feng wants to see you."
Chu Mo's eyes darkened, and a bad premonition surged over him like a wave.
He pursed his lips and looked down at Jing Yu, only to see her eyebrows curved and her voice soft and clear: "I told you, you don't have to hesitate, don't have to worry."
Chu Mo was silent for a moment, then raised his voice and said, "Come in."
Jing Yu was stunned.
Chu Mo: "I also said that I will hold the sword in my right hand to defend my country and hold your hand with my left hand, and never leave you."
Jing Xuan's eyes were filled with tears and she buried herself in his arms without saying a word.
After entering the room, Chu Feng walked over quickly and saluted with his fists clasped: "Master, my brother just passed on the news."
He paused and didn't continue.
Chu Mo frowned and said in a deep voice: "Go on, wait for me to treat you?"
Chu Feng gritted his teeth, knelt on one knee, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Xun... committed suicide last night."
As soon as the words fell, the room became eerily quiet, as if a terrifying giant beast had swallowed up everything.
Jing Yu's pupils suddenly shrank and she quickly turned her eyes to look at Chu Mo.
But he was staring at Chu Feng with a horrified look, as if he didn't believe it, or as if he didn't hear it.
"What... did you just say?" The tone was extremely calm, clearly without any ripples, but it was like a sign before a storm, and the oppressive feeling was so strong that it made people tremble.
Chu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "...Mr. Xun committed suicide."
“Committed suicide?” Chu Mo paused for a moment and said in a hateful voice, “Tuoba Xun committed suicide?”
