Chapter 188 What gentleman? Just pretending to be good
"If I don't respond, what will happen to General Qiu?" Song Yanxi's face suddenly turned cold.
She hated being threatened the most, even if he was the son of Qiu Yuanzheng and his wife.
A trace of annoyance flashed across Qiu Zongping's face, and then he lifted his robe and was about to kneel down in front of her.
Song Yanxi subconsciously wanted to stop him, but heard Mo Jinchuan's cold voice coming from behind her.
"Even if you break your legs today, it will be useless."
No one can change what he has decided.
Qiu Zongping clenched his fists and looked at Song Yanxi with complicated eyes. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to start.
Anyone with eyes could see the difference in how the prince treated Miss Song. One word she said was worth ten or a hundred of theirs.
But unfortunately, she is a person who sticks to her word.
Mo Jinchuan glanced at him coldly, "What are you still standing there for?"
"I'll take my leave."
Qiu Zongping responded respectfully and walked away, looking back every few steps.
The light in the room was dim. Song Yanxi used the remaining sunlight to find the candlestick and lit the candle. When she turned around, she was met with a pair of bright black eyes.
The candlelight reflected in his eyes, shining like stars.
Song Yanxi pursed her lips, walked to the bed, and looked at the man whose face was barely flushed under the candlelight, her little face full of coldness.
"Are you angry?" Mo Jinchuan curled the corners of his lips slightly, and his slightly hoarse voice sounded particularly gentle.
His voice was too soft, which made his already handsome face look even weaker, making people feel pity for him.
The next moment, Song Yanxi realized what she had just been thinking and came back to her senses instantly. She couldn't help but curse herself in her heart for being so ridiculous.
The man in front of him was the former god of war. Even though he had not been on the battlefield for two years due to a leg disease, and he no longer had that strong murderous aura, he could never have anything to do with the word fragile.
She must be crazy to have any thoughts like sympathy.
Pinching her palm, Song Yanxi regained some of her rationality and said calmly, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I only gave the advice that a doctor should give. Whether you want to listen or not is up to Your Highness."
Although he said he was not angry, his words sounded like they were filled with some inexplicable emotions.
Song Yanxi realized it later and said with some annoyance, "If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will return."
"What's the rush?"
Meeting her somewhat puzzled eyes, Mo Jinchuan smiled faintly and asked, "Didn't Miss Song say that she would stay and take care of me?"
"Yes, but since the prince has woken up, naturally..."
"Miss Song, are you trying to avoid suspicion?"
Being suddenly interrupted by Mo Jinchuan, Song Yanxi paused, and the words of explanation that were about to be explained turned around on her lips before being swallowed back.
If she hadn't revealed the fact that she had unintentionally eavesdropped by opening her mouth, she would definitely ask His Royal Highness Prince Jin whether he felt any pain in his face when he said such words with such righteous words.
Fortunately, she used to think that he was a gentleman who was focused on his work.
Now it seems... it's just a good pretense.
All those seemingly plausible but ambiguous words he said before were intentional!
Song Yanxi was a little annoyed, but she forced a smile and said, "A single man and a single woman in the same room, if it gets out, it will easily cause misunderstandings."
"Didn't you say before that there are only patients in front of doctors, regardless of gender?" Mo Jinchuan frowned slightly.
Before he could speak again, Song Yanxi said, "The prince also said that, that was before."
Her face was icy, "After all, I am a married woman, and the prince is still unmarried. It is better to avoid suspicion in the future."
After saying that, she bowed to Mo Jinchuan, turned around and left quickly.
Mo Jinchuan stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time.
Why did she suddenly get angry?
He keeps saying that he wants to avoid suspicion. Could it be that he wants to draw a clear line between him and him?
Thinking of this, Mo Jinchuan's face suddenly darkened. He caught a glimpse of a dark figure at the door and said in a cold voice, "Come in."
An Yi hurried in quickly, with his head lowered so low that he almost wanted to bury it in the ground.
If possible, he would rather be deaf.
Mo Jinchuan asked in a deep voice: "What do you think she meant?"
An Yi thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are you angry?"
"I'm not blind yet." Mo Jinchuan paused and asked, "Why do you think she's angry?"
An Yi raised his head with a bitter face, but before he could open his mouth, he heard his master say, "When the war is over, I will find you a wife when I return."
"Master, just let me marry two. I can't explain why Miss Song is angry. After all, women's hearts are like needles in the sea. How can it be so easy..."
An Yi's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he gave up and said, "Master, please punish me with a military stick."
Mo Jinchuan frowned and asked, "Did anyone say anything to her today?"
He knew Song Yanxi's temperament well. Although she had a bad temper, she would not lose her temper when it came to the interests of her family and country.
Therefore, she would never feel unhappy because he refused to leave the border town tonight.
There must be something he doesn't know.
"In the past three days, apart from General Xu and Doctor Xu, not even a fly has entered the courtyard. Miss Song has been taking care of the master without taking off her clothes, and she has not even left the courtyard."
As An Yi was talking, he suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "It must be Xi Lin. He stayed in the kitchen for quite a while. Miss Song even made an extra bowl of noodles for him in the evening."
Thinking of Xi Lin's mouth that girls like and his handsome face, he said against his will, "Master, don't worry. In my humble opinion, Song Yanxi probably won't like that kind of weak man."
Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened, and he ordered, "Call the man here, I have something to ask him."
*
With something on her mind, Song Yanxi woke up after only two hours of sleep, thinking of leaving the house before dawn without alerting others.
Obviously, Mo Jinchuan thought so too.
When Song Yanxi opened the gate and saw the master and servant, one sitting and one standing, she thought she was hallucinating because she didn't sleep well last night.
She closed the door without hesitation, then took a deep breath and opened it.
The master and servant were still there, and there was even a scruffy-looking Xi Lin beside them.
Seeing Song Yanxi, Xi Lin pulled the corners of his lips with a forced smile and said, "Mrs. Song, good morning."
"Good morning, everyone." Song Yanxi's smile was forced.
Mo Jinchuan asked calmly, "Miss Song, are you not planning on coming back?"
The other two looked at the package in her hand.
Song Yanxi pulled the corners of her lips and was about to explain when she saw the man in front of her slightly raised his lips and smiled, "What a coincidence, this is what I planned too.
The situation is unclear right now. If the people west of the city are truly infected with the plague, they shouldn't move around until the symptoms are resolved."
"No, why didn't you say that just now?"
Xi Lin instantly got furious and ran back to pack his things while cursing.
An Yi also turned around and left silently.
Song Yanxi gritted her teeth and asked, "Your Highness, don't you think that what you did was too subtle and obvious?"
Mo Jinchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended not to know and asked, "What do you mean, Miss Song?"
"Nothing." Song Yanxi was too lazy to explain, so she picked up her bag and was about to leave.
He had just taken two steps when he heard Mo Jinchuan's slightly embarrassed voice behind him, "I have a shoulder injury, and I need Miss Song's help."
Song Yanxi turned around, anger tinged her cold eyes, "Your Highness now knows that you are injured.
Since you are injured, you should stay in the general's mansion and recuperate. This is a good thing for the prince and us, isn't it? "
