Chapter 240 Don’t bother me, or I’ll beat you!

Princess Mansion.

Xu Yanyi was soaking comfortably in the hot spring.

Even though Xiaoyu is not here now, she has filled the hot spring with dried petals and ointments.

Xu Yanyi was not used to having others do these things for her, so she just took some and threw it into the hot spring and then soaked in it.

Xu Yanyi looked under the clear water again: "I wonder if the person in Wuyi Palace is there?"

The hot spring water was warm. Xu Yanyi lay there feeling drowsy. She didn't know how long she had been soaking in it. Then she heard footsteps. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Mu Nanzhou walking in with a violent look on his face.

Xu Yanyi quickly pulled the clothes placed beside the hot spring over to cover herself: "Why did you come in? Do you want to soak?"

Mu Nanzhou paused, standing there staring at her, and after a while he looked away and said coldly: "I don't have the leisure time to soak in a hot spring like you do! I'm only here to tell you that you'd better keep the matter of Lin Mengyan to yourself! Otherwise..."

"What else? Kill me?"

Xu Yanyi raised her eyebrows provocatively, "Mu Nanzhou, I won't fall for your tricks. People should beg for help, but don't be so arrogant. Besides, in order to help Mu Liufang cover up the crime of slandering and framing me, you, the King of Nanling, even killed an innocent person. If this gets out, you will be criticized even more, right?

I advise you to think about your own problems. As for Lin Mengyan, she committed suicide on her own. What does it have to do with me? I am too lazy to bother with her. If anyone talks about her romantic affairs, wouldn’t I be disgusted? "

Mu Nanzhou's face darkened. As expected, he killed the man pretending to be a spy very quickly. Others probably didn't see it, but Xu Yanyi saw it.

For the first time, Mu Nanzhou felt very embarrassed. His hands were already stained with the blood of countless people, all of which were the blood of foreign enemies killed on the battlefield. That was an honor! But what did it mean now?

Seeing Mu Nanzhou's expression change, Xu Yanyi yawned: "What? Are you trying to kill me and silence me?"

Mu Nanzhou gnashed his teeth and said, "Since you saw it, I will not deny it. Yes, I killed him, but that doesn't mean he is innocent. At least he... he also destroyed Lin Mengyan's innocence!"

"Lin Mengyan deserved it. She asked for it! If they hadn't schemed to harm me, would she have ended up like this? Mu Nanzhou, people with different ideals cannot plot together. I won't say anything about Lin Mengyan as long as she doesn't cause me any more trouble. But I can't promise anything about you."

Xu Yanyi sneered. He was just like that. He couldn't tell right from wrong.

Mu Nanzhou stared at her intently: "You are threatening me! Do you think I will be afraid?"

"Of course you're not afraid. You don't have to bear the psychological burden of killing an innocent person. What else are you afraid of?"

Xu Yanyi casually waved the water towards him. Mu Nanzhou subconsciously stepped back quickly and covered himself with his sleeves. Xu Yanyi took the opportunity to quickly stand up and put on his clothes. "If I were you, I would go find that person's family, treat his family well, find a master to pray for his soul to be reincarnated, and read handwritten scriptures to him..."

Mu Nanzhou interrupted her angrily: "Are you crazy? How could I do such a thing for a person like that?"

Xu Yanyi was not surprised that he would say such a thing, after all, King Nanling was high above.

Besides, that man was not an innocent person. He accepted Mu Liufang's plan and joined in. If Xu Yanyi had not known how to fight back and take the initiative, this man would have killed her unjustly. So when that man died, Xu Yanyi didn't actually think it was a pity.

However, compared to Mu Nanzhou who clearly knew that this was all planned by Mu Liufang, but not only did he not expose it, he even killed the person. It would be really hard for Xu Yanyi to show him some respect.

"I'm just telling you what a normal person should do to deal with the aftermath. You can do it or not. But I thought you, the dignified King of Nanling, would only kill enemies on the battlefield. I didn't expect you to be so cruel and ruthless as to kill your own compatriots. It's really impressive."

Xu Yanyi casually took the jade hairpin placed beside her and wrapped her long hair around it, making a flower-bud-shaped bun.

Mu Nanzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Yanyi! Don't push your luck!"

Xu Yanyi yawned and walked out while saying leisurely: "I have said everything I should and shouldn't say. Now I am going to bed. Don't bother me, or I will beat you up."

“…”

Mu Nanzhou's handsome face turned dark with anger.

*Early the next morning, Xu Yanyi was woken up by Xiaoyu excitedly.

Xu Yanyi rubbed her eyes and leaned to the side, watching Xiaoyu instructing the servants to place more than 20 baskets full of food, which were exchanged for the jewels given by Master Lin, in the yard.

Fortunately, the princess's mansion is big enough, otherwise there wouldn't be enough space.

Xu Yanyi looked around and asked, "Where is my benefactor?"

Xiaoyu said: "Master Yue arranged these things and left half an hour ago, saying that he had some private matters to deal with. If you, Princess, want to look for him, I can go..."

"No, no, he has already helped a lot."

Xu Yanyi walked over and counted the items on the list one by one. "Okay, just put it at the door, and send a few people to spread the word among the refugees. Then..."

"Princess, there's already a long line at the door. Master Yue has arranged everything. You just need to stand outside and distribute food."

Xiaoyu pointed in the direction of the door.

Xu Yanyi choked, lifted the hem of her skirt and walked over quickly.

The door of the princess's mansion slowly opened, and Xu Yanyi saw that it was indeed crowded with people. Well, although Xu Yanyi had a bad reputation, but there was free food to be delivered, only a fool would not come, right?

Seeing Xu Yanyi coming out, the people rushed forward to grab it. Xu Yanyi raised the silver: "Line up one by one and take turns to come up. Everyone will get one today. Don't be anxious."

When the people heard this, they quickly lined up obediently.

Xu Yanyi led a group of people to distribute food. She did not act arrogantly because of her status. Instead, she was friendly and amiable to the common people. No matter how chaotic the scene was, she handled it in an orderly manner. Master Yue, who was standing on a tall building not far away and had been watching the situation here, smiled slightly with a deep look in his eyes.

"Your medicine."

A man in blue handed over two bottles of medicine.

Master Yue withdrew his gaze and took off his mask.

The man in blue looked at the scars on his face and rolled his eyes: "I don't understand you. I saved you after the fire and restored your handsome face. Who are you trying to fool with these? Get rid of them. They are so ugly."
