816 Punishment, Jade Pool Washing Cream

The servant carefully brought the rice and quickly left. The Ninth Prince didn't care and sat opposite Feng Qingchen to eat. In the dining room, there was no other sound except the sound of chopsticks hitting bowls.

The Ninth Prince saw that Feng Qingchen was eating awkwardly, and saw that the housekeeper was careful and attentive like walking on thin ice, so his appetite was aroused and he ate one more bowl of rice than usual.

These two people will be dealt with sooner or later, there is no rush. He is too full now, and needs to go out to digest the food, otherwise he will not have the energy to accept the thank-you gift in the evening.

The Ninth Prince put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out. Feng Qingchen and the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. He finally left. The Ninth Prince's aura was so strong that they dared not breathe, for fear of offending him.

Huh... Feng Qingchen and the housekeeper were just rejoicing when the Ninth Prince suddenly stopped at the door. The housekeeper and Feng Qingchen were so scared that they immediately stopped what they were doing and froze in place.

The Ninth Prince was very satisfied with the performance of the two. He said in a mysterious tone, "Go and receive your punishment tonight." Then he left.

As for who should receive the punishment and what kind of punishment they should receive, this is not something the Ninth Prince needs to consider.

Alas... the housekeeper and Feng Qingchen sighed at the same time. The Ninth Prince was full and didn't care about the lives of others. Although the Ninth Prince was not there, the low pressure he left behind was still there. The housekeeper was not in the mood to serve Feng Qingchen food, and Feng Qingchen had no intention of eating either.

She understood very well what the Ninth Prince meant, and secretly thought to herself that she should take the opportunity to sneak back to the Feng Mansion. However, when she thought of the defense of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Feng Qingchen gave up the idea.

Feng Qingchen picked up the bowl of rice with a heavy face. For the sake of her own health, she had to force herself to eat a little even if she didn't want to. Otherwise, she would not have the strength to "accept the punishment" tonight.

What the Ninth Prince Uncle called digesting food was actually getting rid of irrelevant people. The Ninth Prince Uncle came to the yard where Sun Sixing was recuperating, asked the doctor about Sun Sixing's condition, and then ordered the servants to pack up immediately and send Sun Sixing away.

The Ninth Prince ordered the doctor in an orderly manner to prepare the medicinal materials needed along the way, ordered the leader of the secret guards to dispatch a team of secret guards to protect Sun Sixing, and ordered the servants to prepare the gifts and letters for the master of Xuanyi Valley and load them into the car in advance.

Finally, the Ninth Prince found Zuo An and said, "Send him out of the city and come back tomorrow." With Zuo An around, Feng Qingchen would not worry about Sun Sixing's safety.

"Why?" Zuo An held the sword in both hands, raised his head defiantly, and made it clear that he was ignoring the Ninth Uncle.

"This is for you. Return it to me in three days." The Ninth Prince took off the Flying Tiger Claw from his wrist and threw it to Zuo An.

If you want Zuo An to help, you must offer him a reward that Zuo An will appreciate. The Ninth Prince knows this better than Feng Qingchen.

Sure enough, when Zuo An saw what the Ninth Prince threw over, he nodded quickly without even hesitating, "Deal."

After saying that, he walked towards Sun Sixing without any hesitation.

Good. The annoying guys have been sent away, and no one will bother me tonight.

Knowing that Feng Qingchen attached great importance to Sun Lu's trip, the Ninth Prince personally kept an eye on everything. After confirming again and again that everything was correct, he sent someone to inform Feng Qingchen that he could come to see him off.

It was indeed just a farewell. When Feng Qingchen was brought over by the servants, Sun Sixing was already on the carriage. Zuo An was leaning against the carriage with a sword in his arms, ready to set off at any time. All she had to do was to see him off, because the Ninth Prince took care of all the other matters.

"Think of him..."

The Ninth Prince understood the rest of the words without Feng Qingchen asking: "The doctor has checked and he can travel far. The longer he stays in the imperial city, the more dangerous it will be. Let people know that he is in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Not only the Blood Robe Guards, but even the Emperor will not let you go. As for his safety, you don't have to worry. The doctor will take care of him and Zuo An will watch over him along the way."

"I understand." The carriage was padded with soft cushions. Lying on them, one would not feel any bumps even if the carriage went very fast.

The Ninth Prince was well prepared, so she had nothing to say. She just got on the carriage, tucked the corners of the quilt for Sun Sixing, stroked Sun Sixing's pale face, and said softly, "Come back early, Master is waiting for you in the Imperial City."

After getting off the carriage, he solemnly said to Zuo An: "I'm sorry to bother you along the way."

Well?

Zuo An raised his eyebrows and looked at the Ninth Uncle, asking him when he said he would send Sun Sixing to Xuanyi Valley. He was only sending him out of the city. If he wanted him to send Sun Sixing to Xuanyi Valley, he could do it and he would pay more for it.

The Ninth Prince turned his head away calmly. What Zuo An did had nothing to do with him. He only asked Zuo An to send Sun Sixing out of the city. If he wanted a reward, he should go and ask the person who said so.

As a result, Zuo An understood that he wanted to send Sun Sixing to Xuanyi Valley, and the reward was up to you. Touching the Flying Tiger Claw on his waist, Zuo An said that this deal was worthwhile. Anyway, he didn't like staying in Dongling Imperial City, and he was also very interested in the mysterious place like Xuanyi Valley.

Zuo An nodded, indicating that there would be no problem leaving everything to him.

Feng Qingchen gave a few more instructions, and finally asked Zuo An to help her pass on a message to the Valley Master: "If Sun Sixing can come back intact, I will give him the set of surgical instruments that the Valley Master wants."

Feng Qingchen has spent a huge amount of money, and only asks the master of Xuanyi Valley not to dissect Sun Sixing as a guinea pig.

Zuo An's eyes lit up. Even the master of the Divine Doctor Valley coveted this thing, so he wanted to get a set. Well, just consider it as a reward for Sun Sixing.

"Okay." Zuo An was very frugal with his words. After he finished speaking, he jumped onto the carriage and impatiently ordered everyone to set off. Outsiders only thought that he was doing his job, but the Ninth Prince understood that Zuo An was thinking about his reward.

This group of people, under the pretext of investigating a case by the Shenji Camp, received special permission from the Emperor to leave the city without being inspected. But even so, they still kept a low profile, quietly opened the side door of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and left quietly. Feng Qingchen did not even dare to go out to see them off.

Zuo An and his group disappeared into the night and soon disappeared from sight. Feng Qingchen reluctantly withdrew her gaze. With Zuo An and the master of Xuanyi Valley around, she was not worried about Sun Sixing's safety.

All the problems were solved, and Feng Qingchen's tense nerves relaxed. He then felt very tired. He rubbed his temples and prepared to go back to his room to take a bath to relieve his fatigue.

The Ninth Prince accompanied Feng Qingchen for a while. The two walked side by side in the night in the deserted Ninth Prince's Mansion. The distance between them was not too far and not too close, so they would not affect each other's walking, but they could smell each other's scent. The warm breath flowed between them, just like an ordinary couple who retired to the countryside, walking leisurely in the quiet garden, enjoying the beauty of the years...

The years are peaceful and the world is stable. If I can abandon my responsibilities and spend my whole life together, it would be a beautiful thing. Feng Qingchen thought so.

She turned her head quietly to look at the Ninth Uncle. Seeing that his face was solemn and she didn't know what he was thinking, Feng Qingchen silently withdrew his gaze, with a slightly bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

When they reached the fork in the road, the Ninth Prince stopped and said to an empty spot beside him, "Take the girl to take a bath."

"Yes." Two maids in blue clothes walked out from the other side of the corner. Feng Qingchen was very surprised that she didn't notice anyone here. Was it because her vigilance was too low, or was the other party too strong?

Knowing Feng Qingchen's suspicion, the Ninth Uncle explained: "They are maids trained by the secret guards. It's normal that you didn't notice. When Zuo An is away, they will protect you closely and serve you closely."

The man cannot stay with Feng Qingchen all day, but the situation is much better for the woman. Although there is a woman among the secret guards protecting Feng Qingchen, she cannot provide close protection.

"Okay." Feng Qingchen accepted the two men without hesitation. Although the Ninth Prince could not give her stability in this world, he was trying to give her a relatively stable environment.

"Go ahead and have a good rest. I have to go to work and won't accompany you." The Ninth Prince hid himself in the darkness so that Feng Qingchen could not see the expression on his face. After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the study.

He was looking forward to Feng Qingchen's "thank you gift" that he offered to him.

Looking at the Ninth Prince's departing back, Feng Qingchen was secretly delighted. It seemed that the Ninth Prince had forgotten about the "punishment" and "thank you gift", and she could sleep well now.

Feng Qingchen was in a good mood. Under the guidance of her maid, she walked in another direction. However, she walked further and further away. Feng Qingchen realized something was wrong and looked around warily, putting her hand on the pistol.

"Where are you taking me?" If these two maids had not been given to her by the Ninth Prince, she would have definitely killed them.

The sudden murderous aura made the two maids become fierce instantly. When they found that the source of the murderous aura was Feng Qingchen, the two maids withdrew their offensive and explained with their heads down: "Please forgive me, Miss Feng. The prince asked me to take you to the Jade Pool, which is a little off the center."

"Jade Pool? What place is that?" Feng Qingchen did not relax because of the maid's words.

"To answer the young lady's question, the Jade Pool is a hot spring pool. The pool was built with warm jade and draws natural hot spring water from outside the city. The master of the Xuanyi Valley said that the spring water is very good for the human body. The prince asked the young lady to go to the Jade Pool to soak in order to relieve fatigue." The maid explained in detail, and Feng Qingchen let down his guard and let the maid lead the way.

Before reaching the Jade Pool, Feng Qingchen felt a heat rising from the soles of her feet. It was as warm as spring. After asking, Feng Qingchen realized that in order to maintain the water temperature and the temperature in the yard, the hot spring was covered with pipes under it, with hot water flowing back and forth in the pipes.

Fully artificial geothermal energy, what a luxury! The royal family really knows how to enjoy themselves.

Even though he was knowledgeable and experienced, when Feng Qingchen stepped into the Jade Pool, he couldn't help but say that the Ninth Prince was a money-waster.

The jade pool had no gorgeous decorations, but the pool, which was made entirely of jade, was worth the price of a palace, not to mention the small jade couch beside it. Although Feng Qingchen didn't understand jade, he knew that it was a complete piece of jade. It was not priceless, but it was in short supply. This kind of jade is hard to come by.

The four royal palaces wouldn't have this kind of thing, and even a century-old family like King Cui might not have it. The Ninth Prince's collection is truly huge.

The Jade Pool is filled with living water, which enters from the left mouth and exits from the right hole. The water volume remains constant. White smoke floats above the pool, giving people a feeling of being lost in a fairyland.

When Feng Qingchen stepped into the Jade Pool, the secret guard also returned to the study and said through the door: "My Lord, the young lady has asked for the Jade Pool."

A very light voice was heard in the study, and the next second the Ninth Prince walked out of the study.

After finishing the business, he went to collect the "thank you gift".

A word to the readers: The soup in the study is out, the meat in Yu Chi...kill me!
