Sure enough, the next second, the light in Chu Mo's eyes gradually transformed into ripples. She had seen that kind of look in the eyes of countless men before; it was an implication that he wanted to possess the woman.
Wen Xin knew that Chu Mo had made a great contribution this time, and that the King of Chu would still need to rely on her to continue conquering other countries. Therefore, in the entire palace, even the Empress and the Crown Prince dared not offend Chu Mo.
The Qing'er from before is not seen with Chu Mo this time either. It must be that Chu Mo has grown tired of Qing'er. This time, he heard that a master with a face as beautiful as a fairy has come to the Jade Pavilion, so he came to take a look.
Wen Xin thought she had found a good master and would rise to prominence with Ning Yin's help in the future, but she never expected that Chu Mo would steal her away.
Thinking of this, Wen Xin quietly left the main hall and went to a young eunuch, taking out ten taels of silver from her sleeve and handing it over.
"Go and send a message to the assassin camp, saying that Madam Shen is in danger and that General Shen must be on guard against Princess Chu Mo."
The young eunuch already had a good impression of Wen Xin, so even if Wen Xin didn't give him money, he would still do it obediently, especially since he was holding ten heavy taels of silver in his hand.
The young eunuch nodded obsequiously and quickly slipped out of the Jade Pavilion.
At this moment, Chu Mo inside the house had already ordered someone to bestow a box of jewelry upon Ning Yin, which Wen Xin, hiding outside the door, saw clearly.
When the box was opened, the light it emitted almost blinded her.
She had never seen any master in the palace who could receive so many good things simply by sitting all day long.
Chu Mo was grateful to Ning Yin and wanted to thank her in person, but words were not as meaningful as money.
If it weren't for Ning Yin, her Qing'er would probably be dead by now. Qing'er is alive and well, and even eats more than before. She's also gained weight in her face. How could she not be moved?
When she learned that Ning Yin had been taken to the State of Chu by that beast Shen Yun, she wished she could draw her sword and kill Shen Yun herself.
That shameless bastard still has the nerve to claim Ning Yin is his wife. He should take a good look at himself in the mirror. Does he deserve it?
"Lady Shen, I know that you and your husband have traveled thousands of miles for the great cause of Chu. Since you are both serving Chu, these should be a reward for you."
Although she despised Shen Yun, she couldn't reveal her identity now. Who knew how disgusting it was that she kept calling her Madam Shen?
With that, she waved her hand, intending to put her arm around Ning Yin's shoulder.
Seeing that Ning Yin looked somewhat embarrassed, she pulled her hand back from mid-air.
She chuckled lightly, "Hehe, since that's the case, I happen to have nothing to do. Would Madam Shen accompany me for a stroll in the Imperial Garden?"
Chu Mo wanted to talk to Ning Yin more and learn some medical skills from her. His eyes swept over Wen Xin outside the door, and Wen Xin quickly lowered her head.
"Don't be afraid. You must be bored in this Jade Pavilion all day. I'll take you to my palace, have dinner there, and then send you back."
Chu Mo put one hand on Ning Yin's shoulder, leaned close to her ear and whispered something. Wen Xin couldn't hear it clearly, but from a distance, it looked as if Chu Mo was holding her in his arms and kissing her.
Ning Yin knew that Chu Mo meant no harm, and since she had nothing else to do, going out for a walk wouldn't hurt.
As the two stepped out of the palace gate, Chu Mo waved his hand, telling Wen Xin not to follow.
As a mere palace maid, how could she dare disobey the princess's orders? She could only bow respectfully and see the two off.
This princess is really disrespecting General Shen. If the princess insists on taking Madam Shen into her service, then Madam Shen will have to go back to serving the emperor.
Although the emperor was the supreme ruler, she was just a lowly palace maid. With the empress above her and concubines vying for favor below, how could she possibly have a chance to rise to prominence?
It would be better to follow Madam Shen; at least her mistress is generous, doesn't cause so much trouble, and won't beat or scold me arbitrarily.
As she thought about it, the worry on Wen Xin's face became more and more obvious.
Ning Yin strolled through the Imperial Garden with Chu Mo. She knew that Chu Mo had no ill intentions, but she couldn't help but worry about Xiao Xuan's safety.
She wanted to ask Chu Mo whether the plan could be guaranteed to be foolproof, but with a group of palace maids following behind her, she couldn't be sure if some spies had infiltrated. She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't ask the question on her mind.
She and Xiao Xuan are currently in the enemy country's palace. If anything goes wrong, it could be fatal for them.
“Madam Shen, look how beautiful those camellias are. But as beautiful as they are, they are still a little less beautiful than you, Madam Shen.”
Chu Mo reached out and plucked a flower, tucking it behind someone's ear. He then stepped back two paces to admire it carefully. This scene was witnessed by Shen Yun, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
Shen Yun had just received a report from a eunuch at the Jade Pavilion, saying that Ning Yin was in danger and that he should be very careful of Chu Mo.
Shen Yun initially thought the eunuch was making a fuss, but when he saw the affectionate look between the two of them and the look of fondness in Chu Mo's eyes, he realized that Chu Mo's penchant for women was actually true.
Clenching his fist, Shen Yun continued to observe the two's actions from the shadows.
Now that Xiao Xuan is nearing his end, Chu Mo probably won't return to Daqi. No wonder she, a princess, was willing to become Xiao Xuan's concubine; it turns out her heart was no longer with any man.
His Ayin is beautiful, and that androgynous Chu Mo probably really has wicked thoughts about her.
As he was thinking this, Chu Mo tidied Ning Yin's hair at her temples, and the ambiguous atmosphere was clearly visible to him from a distance.
Shen Yun let out a cold laugh, his eyes turning bloodshot, and strode towards the other side.
Previously, during the imperial concubine investiture ceremony, Chu Mo had not paid attention to Shen Yun, so when Shen Yun, dressed in black armor, walked by, Chu Mo did not give her a second glance.
Ning Yin, on the contrary, looked somewhat displeased. Shen Yun was truly a persistent ghost, following her wherever she went, and he really treated her like his wife.
Ning Yin deliberately turned her head away and continued chatting and laughing with Chu Mo, but the next second she found that her arm was being tightly held.
"Your Highness, my wife and I have further matters to discuss, so we will take our leave."
Shen Yun was arrogant and disdainful of even greeting Chu Mo. Chu Mo's smiling face suddenly froze, and his smile came to an abrupt end.
She coldly glanced at Shen Yun, already guessing in her heart that this was the scoundrel who was fighting with Xiao Xuan for Ning Yin.
Not only is he not as good-looking as Xiao Xuan, but his character and temperament are also far inferior. No wonder he would do such a despicable thing as colluding with the enemy and stealing another man's wife.
Thinking of this, Chu Mo's contempt became even more obvious, as if he wanted to teach this ignorant bastard a lesson immediately.
She suddenly chuckled softly, her aura imposing, her eyes swirling with dark, turbulent energy.
"General Shen, since when has a foreign official dared to come and go freely in the royal backyard? You are showing absolutely no respect for His Majesty!"
"Princess, this is my wife, Shen Yun's wife. Has Your Highness considered that you have overstepped your bounds in this behavior?"
Neither of them backed down, their posture tense and ready to fight at any moment.
