Chapter 15 Read it to me
Mu Xianzhi's voice was gentle, and there was a smile between his eyebrows.
Ling Qingyan walked forward obediently.
As soon as she reached the desk, Mu Xianzhi pulled her onto his lap.
Ling Qingyan felt her body stiffen, her whole body tensed up, and her words trembled a little.
"Tai...Taifu, what are you doing..."
The girl's cheeks were flushed, her eyelashes trembled, and her eyes were filled with autumnal beauty.
The man was dressed in white, his face calm, and he stood still. He held the girl's waist with one hand, preventing her from leaving.
"Reading." The man's voice was clear.
Ling Qingyan tilted her head stiffly and looked at the book in front of her.
"Master, when I get back I will definitely—"
"Read it to me." The man ordered again.
The voice was cold and clear, without any abnormality.
But Ling Qingyan felt something hard pressing against her where she was sitting.
His face got even redder.
Ling Qingyan had never experienced anything like this before.
My heart was beating abnormally fast, and I felt shy and anxious.
Ling Qingyan tried her best to ignore the thing under the man: "Humans are born with greed and desire, desire has emotion, emotion has moderation."
The man's hand gently brushed the girl's hair, and the girl's nervous body trembled.
"Why are you so nervous? Keep reading."
"The sage cultivates moderation to curb his desires, so he does not go beyond his own desires."
Mu Xianzhi's fingers slowly moved from her hair to her face, carefully outlining the contours of her face.
"Mu Xianzhi!"
Ling Qingyan couldn't stand it anymore, so she put down the book and stopped his rebellious hands.
Mu Xianzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your Highness, why are you so rude to the Master?"
How can you be so perverted? You don’t even feel ashamed to do such a thing or say such a thing!
"Let me go! How can you teach students like this!" Although Ling Qingyan wanted to conquer him, this was too fast and she was not ready.
"Of course, ordinary students don't need to." Mu Xianzhi smiled, "But Your Highness doesn't listen to the class well, shouldn't I punish him?"
This means that in a class, there are excellent students like Chen Mansheng and students like Ling Qingyan who don't pay attention in class.
Isn't this normal?
Besides, she wasn't the only one distracted.
Ling Qingyan was still sitting on his lap, looking into his eyes. Suddenly, she had an idea and leaned her body against his chest, reaching her hand down.
Her voice was gentle, the hot breath from her lips sprayed against her ear, softly: "Xianzhi, please let me go, okay."
Mu Xianzhi didn't react for a moment.
Ling Qingyan took advantage of the moment when he didn't react to get away from him, still holding the antidote she had just found from his clothes.
The girl was smug and looked extremely proud: "Look, I got it now."
Mu Xianzhi looked at the girl who was smiling proudly.
"Well, you win."
"Mu Xianzhi, why are there so many pills here? Are they enough for three months?"
Ling Qingyan actually doesn't like the feeling of having her life held in someone else's hands.
"That's enough, but your highness is a little unlucky. These medicines can only be used temporarily. I have an antidote in my arms that can detoxify."
Ling Qingyan was suspicious, "Really?"
"Um."
Ling Qingyan hid the antidote she had found in her sleeve and moved closer to Mu Xianzhi: "Then Master, can you give it to me?"
"What good will it do me if I give it to you?" Mu Xianzhi asked. "Giving it to you means you can use it to kill me at any time. This deal doesn't seem very cost-effective."
"Then I'll tell you a secret. This way you don't have to worry about me betraying you, and I don't have to be nervous every day, okay?" Ling Qingyan coaxed.
"Tell me about it."
Ling Qingyan pretended to look around to see if there was anyone around, stood behind Mu Xianzhi, and bent down to whisper in his ear.
"I actually don't like General Ji. I said I liked him because I didn't want my father to grant him and Mansheng a marriage. I could see that Mansheng didn't like him, so I was essentially helping her."
"I have deceived my father and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Ling Qingyan spoke softly, but Mu Xianzhi could hear it clearly.
"Master, please keep it a secret for me."
"If Ji Yanxing and the Emperor find out, I'll be finished!"
"So, can this secret be exchanged with the Master for the antidote?"
Telling Mu Xianzhi that she doesn't like Ji Yanxing will only benefit Ling Qingyan.
Firstly, it allows the other person to know your secret and let down your guard towards her, and secondly, it tells him subconsciously.
She didn't like anyone else.
"The crime of deceiving the emperor." Mu Xianzhi said slowly, "Okay."
He took out the antidote from his arms.
When Ling Qingyan reached out to take it, Mu Xianzhi pulled his hand back.
"Your Highness is a smart man. If you betray me, I may not have any other abilities, but I can still drag this beautiful woman, Your Highness, to the underworld." Mu Xianzhi's words were filled with cold intimidation.
Walking in the world, he is gambling with every step he takes.
He is not afraid of life or death.
"I value my life, Mu Xianzhi." Ling Qingyan's eyes curved, "I won't give you this chance."
Mu Xianzhi smiled lightly and was about to say something when the beautiful princess said:
"I also value your life. Only a good-looking man like Master Mu can be my teacher."
The girl's eyes were bright, and her soft and pleasant voice hit him neither too loud nor too soft, causing ripples.
"The princess is really good at bluffing."
She seemed to be born with the ability to say coaxing words.
It seems like he clearly knows where his strengths lie.
How much sincerity is reflected on that deceptive and seemingly innocent face?
Ling Qingyan had just returned to Yaohua Palace when she received some not-so-good news.
In order to ensure Chen Mansheng's safety and to enable her to understand her various situations, Ling Qingyan sent people to guard near the Duke's Mansion so that any movement could be reported in a timely manner.
The spy came to report that a young man had come to the Duke's Mansion, saying that he was the illegitimate son of Duke Chen Qingzhou. The people at the door were talking about it.
Ling Qingyan frowned slightly.
Duke Chen and his wife had a very good relationship and they didn't even take a concubine. Their relationship was often praised by people and was envied by others.
How could an illegitimate child suddenly appear?
More importantly, Chen Mansheng is the only one left in the Chen Mansion. How should she deal with such a thing?
Maybe someone is coveting the Duke's property and title and deliberately found someone like this to impersonate him.
Ling Qingyan was worried, so she decided to take a look for herself.
"Sister, are you going to leave the palace? I'll accompany you." Pei Wuyou seemed ready to go with her.
"I'm going to the Duke's Mansion. You just wait for me in the palace. I'll be back later." Ling Qingyan said softly.
"But why can he accompany my sister?" Pei Wuyou pointed at Han Qi beside Ling Qingyan.
Han Qi was the guard that Ling Qingyan asked the prince to protect her safety. Ling Qingyan was worried about encountering danger, so she naturally brought the guard with her wherever she went.
But she herself did not regard Pei Wuyou as a guard.
And she was going to Mansheng's place, so she naturally hoped that Pei Wuyou, one of the male protagonists, would have as little contact with Chen Mansheng as possible.
"He is my true bodyguard, skilled in martial arts, and can protect me."
As if to cater to Her Royal Highness the Princess' words, Han Qi moved the sword in his hand, his face still cold.
He was defeated by the assassin last time and failed to protect the princess. He should have been punished, but he was spared because of the princess's plea.
His Highness is also willing to let him protect his safety.
He will definitely be in high spirits.
"But I also want to leave the palace, sister." Pei Wuyou seemed to know how to speak in a way that would soften people's hearts. A hint of loneliness appeared on his handsome face. "I haven't left the palace in the past six years."
