Mu Run placed the teapot on the stone table, her heart softening more and more as she looked at it. "No matter how you got here, you must be tired~ I'll give you something delicious to eat when you wake up."
Cha Bao's ears twitched, then he went back to sleep.
"If you don't leave now, you'll be punished." A deep, magnetic voice sounded from behind Mu Run.
Mu Run shuddered, first stuffing the tea into her sleeve pocket, then standing up with her head bowed and eyes lowered, saying meekly, "This servant knows her mistake."
“Raise your head.”
Mu Runshun looked up and froze.
She had seen him before.
When he first arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, he rode by on horseback and even turned his horse around to look at her.
"And you are, young master?"
"Yun Rong. What's your name?"
Yun Rong! That's him, the one Xia Quezi is looking for. Mu Run quickly glanced at him. His fitted robe, embroidered with cloud brocade, made him appear even taller and more slender, with a handsome and refined appearance. In particular, he exuded an elegant and noble aura that was both cold and warm, making people want to please and obey him.
This man is toxic!
Mu Run lowered her head again, "This servant's humble name is Jiu Ge."
"Okay, let's go down first," he said.
Mu Run replied, "Yes."
She bowed and left the pavilion, heading towards the lotus pond. Having finally come to the outer courtyard, she was determined to scout the area thoroughly, familiarize herself with the surroundings, and hopefully find the Prime Minister's study.
Yun Rong leaned against a pavilion pillar, gazing in the direction Mu Run had left. A playful smile curved his thin lips as he murmured to himself, "Has she been disciplined?"
"Brother Yun seems to be in a good mood." Li Yilian came over carrying two jars of Daughter's Red wine and happened to see Yun Rong smiling. It was as if the world had lost its color because of him. A deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
Yun Rong withdrew his gaze. "The garden of the Prime Minister's residence is quite beautiful, and one cannot help but feel joy and peace when looking at it."
"Then Brother Yun can stay at my Prime Minister's residence, where we can enjoy fine wine to our hearts' content."
Thank you.
Yun Rong sat down on the stone bench where Mu Run had just been sitting, and suddenly noticed two grayish animal hairs on the stone table. He raised his sleeve and brushed them away.
...
The water in the lotus pond was crystal clear, with colorful koi swimming around. The lotus leaves were emerald green, with straight stems and round leaves, some still glistening with water droplets. Delicate flower buds, about to bloom, were partially hidden among the lotus leaves, like shy maidens, so enchanting.
Mu Run looked around and, seeing that no one was around, took out a tea bag from her sleeve. "Wash it here."
Cha Bao doesn't like hot water. She had tried to bathe it with hot water before in Bianyun Village, and the little guy struggled a lot, making her think it didn't like baths. Later, she found it frolicking in the spring water in the garden, and realized it preferred cold water.
Tea Treasure fell into the lotus pond, took a moment to adjust, and then plunged into the deep water.
Soon after, thin strands of blood began to rise to the surface of the water!
Mu Run was startled and hurriedly called out, "Tea Bao, Tea Bao!"
With a disproportionately large golden koi carp in its mouth, Cha Bao jumped ashore.
Then he placed the golden koi carp in front of Mu Run.
Mu Run ignored the golden koi and looked at Cha Bao first. Its originally grayish fur had been washed clean by the water in the lotus pond, and it was spotless, fluffy and pure white.
"You scared me to death."
"Meow~" Cha Bao meowed, jumped off her hand, and pinned down the golden koi that was still hopping around and about to hop back into the lotus pond with one paw.
Mu Run remembered that it had given her a worm before, and now it was giving her a fish, so she smiled gently and said, "I don't want it."
I even touched its fur. It was so smooth and felt incredibly comfortable.
Cha Bao then lowered her head, bit the fish's tail, and swallowed the golden koi carp to Mu Run's utter disbelief.
After swallowing the golden koi, it plunged headfirst into the lotus pond...
A streak of blood would occasionally float to the surface of the water, only to disappear again very quickly.
Mu Run looked at the water and thought to herself... Hmm! It's a mountain beast, Fei Fei, not a cat!
