The courtyard was old and covered with fallen leaves, as if no one had been back for many years.
He went straight to the main hall, pushed open the door and saw eternal lamps lit next to each tablet.
At this moment, because of his actions, the candle flame swayed slowly, but it did not go out.
Chi Mu raised his eyes and looked at the roof where the white jade crescent moon was originally placed.
It is rumored that there is a box made of white jade on the roof, but now it is empty, without even a beam to put things.
He frowned slightly, as if he realized something was wrong, and jumped up from the eaves.
The heights of the inside and outside of the roof seemed inconsistent, and when he checked just now, there were obvious signs of repairs on the inside of the roof.
Just when Chi Mu was about to lift the tile to take a look, Yue Tong's concerned and gentle voice suddenly came from below.
"Brother Chi Mu, where are you?"
Hearing this, Chi Mu jumped to the back, picked up a wooden stick next to him and walked in.
"The King is here."
Yue Tong was wandering at the door of the main hall. Suddenly, she heard Chi Mu's words. She was startled and forced a smile.
"Brother Chi Mu, why did you come out from the back? I remembered that I brought some golden wound medicine with me. How about I treat your wound for you?"
She was holding a white porcelain bottle and was about to approach Chi Mu, but he dodged her.
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, there's no need for you to worry, Saint. But Saint, why don't you go into the hall and pay your respects?"
Yue Tong paused, lowered his eyes and showed a lonely expression.
"I couldn't bear to see those rows of memorial tablets. I was worried that the sight would bring back memories. After all, my mother was inside."
Chi Mu stared at the expression on her face and suddenly sneered.
"If you don't want to watch, forget it, just go down the mountain."
He was thinking about Shen Yuerong in his heart, and the reminder just now was probably shouted by Shen Yuerong.
So he stretched out his long legs and ran down the mountain quickly, and Yuetong couldn't catch up at all.
Finally, Chi Mu's figure disappeared quickly. Yue Tong was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot and glared at Heng Yu beside her.
"It's all because you walk so slowly."
Heng Yu was confused and rolled his eyes in his heart, but he didn't show anything wrong on his face.
Inside the villa, Shen Yuerong saw Chi Mu successfully deal with the assassins, and her pounding heart finally calmed down.
But she felt dizzy and a little weak.
Before she passed out, her vision stayed in the direction of the Crescent Terrace.
A beam of shallow sunlight fell, and everything around her became dim, as if something was guiding her in the dark.
But before Shen Yuerong had time to think too much, she fainted completely.
When Chi Mu rushed back, he learned that Shen Yuerong had fainted. He hurried into the room and saw Mu Lingchuan taking Shen Yuerong's pulse.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, the only doctor he could trust in the villa was Mu Lingchuan.
Chi Mu stood beside Mu Lingchuan and heard his condemning and unhappy voice.
"Senior sister is weak, how could you leave her alone in the villa and let her get hurt?"
Chi Mu had nothing to say about Mu Lingchuan's words. After all, it was he who left Shen Yuerong in the villa alone.
His heart was filled with self-blame, and his eyes became deeper.
Shen Yuerong woke up slowly and saw Chi Mu and Mu Lingchuan standing by the bed, and her heart skipped a beat.
She knew that she was in a coma because of her pregnancy. If Mu Lingchuan diagnosed her with something, it would be very bad.
After all, he had no plans to tell anyone for the time being.
But could it be that the two of them already knew about this?
Shen Yuerong's lips moved, "I can explain."
Unexpectedly, I heard Mu Lingchuan's voice with a hint of laughter, "Senior sister, you fainted due to the long journey and unfamiliar climate. You must take good care of yourself."
Shen Yuerong paused for a moment, and saw Mu Lingchuan winking at her quietly. It seemed that he was hiding something for her.
So she accepted Mu Lingchuan's kindness without thinking. After all, he still needed to complete this mission and successfully bring the saint back to Beijing.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Junior Brother. Maybe I really can't adapt to the life here."
She looked up in the direction of Chi Mu, her eyes fell on his injured arm, and she suddenly sat up.
"Taohua, how did the prince get hurt? Bring me my medicine box."
Chi Mu was a little angry when he saw Shen Yuerong finally noticed him, but he felt more distressed that she still cared about him even though she was unconscious.
He used his cloak to cover the wound a bit, and answered with a smile on his face.
"It's okay, it's nothing serious, don't worry, ma'am."
But Shen Yuerong still insisted on treating Chi Mu, and took out the medicine box and some wound medicine and cloth strips.
Chi Mu stood there and glanced at Mu Lingchuan who was sitting, with a provocative look in his eyes.
"Doctor Mu?"
Mu Lingchuan then realized that he should give up his seat, and when he lowered his eyes, his eyes were full of unwillingness.
In the end, he stood up and made way for Chi Mu.
He would not fall out with Chi Mu in front of his senior sister, so as not to make her worry.
Chi Mu sat on the edge of the bed and let Shen Yuerong treat his wounds.
The wound had just been treated when the little maid who had been slapped a few times came in. She came to help pour tea.
At this time, Yuetong finally arrived.
Yue Tong saw the little maid's swollen face and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
"Sister Yuerong, why is this little maid's face so swollen? Even if you are angry, you can't take it out on the maid."
"I rescued these maids from poor families on the border. I treat each of them as my own sisters. It seems that your actions are a bit too much, sister."
She paused, suddenly covered her mouth, and explained with her eyes rolling around.
"Oh, sister, I'm sorry, but I just feel sorry for these maids who were beaten for no reason. Don't misunderstand anything."
