The Aloof Prince Pampers His Wild First Rate Consort

Chapter 60

After the simple noon meal at the Xiang fu, Mu Yunjin did not stay. Along with Zi Xiang, they finally left the Xiang fu. Ultimately, she was not able to think of any birthday gift.

"Xiaojie, (Young Miss) didn't Da Shaoye (Eldest Young master) say that Liu Huang zi is an eccentric? What are these eccentric things, besides rare treasures? "

Zi Xiang tilted her head to one side and asked. Mu Yunjin smiled at Zi Xiang.

"Tell me, have you seen Chu Li's rare treasures? How rare should my gift be?"

"Since these rare treasures aren't so unusual, this servant thinks that xiaojie should make a handmade gift. The kind that cannot be bought by money and no one has ever seen."

Zi Xiang replied smiling.

Handmade?

Mu Yunjin slightly frowned, and looked at her hands, her host body is really good, her slender fingers are light and graceful and quite nimble. However, she seems to be not so skilled in handmade crafts.

If she is to fight and kill, then she would definitely have no problem. But letting her make homemade items, then it is practically harder than reaching the sky.

For a moment, Mu Yunjin is confronted by a difficult problem.

Upon returning to the Liu Huang zi Fu, Shen Momo saw Mu Yunjin and greeted her.

"Huang zi fei, have you thought of a gift?"

Mu Yunjin shook her head.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

In response, Shen Momo nodded her head.

"No worries, there is still time, slowly think about it."

"En. I'm a little sleepy, I'll go back first and sleep."

Mu Yunjin stated.

"Okay, Zi Xiang ya tou (girl) you should help momo to pluck some petals."

Shen Momo held up Zi Xiang with a smile. Zi Xiang nodded and remained.

Walking alone to the direction of Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion, Mu Yunjin looked at the main mansion's rear gardens and found that this Fu is several times bigger than the Xiang Fu. She can't help but sigh at this prince's show of extravagance.

Soon after, she was bored to death and walked over to the few houses at the side. In the process of going through the several vacant pavilions, Mu Yunjin recalled Zi Xiang's words that these pavilions as probably set aside as residence of future concubines. Her eyes can't help but ponder on the subtleties.

She has not walked for long, when her ears slightly caught a sound of movement and voices within the pavilion. Mu Yunjin halted her steps due to curiosity, and went towards the source of the voices. Soon after, she heard Ding Xian's voice inside.

"That time, we went south, we gained nothing. That thing is extremely important to His Highness. This time we'll go to Dong Lin Country, we must find a good and reliable clues."

"Yes, Guard Ding!"

"His Highness has been painstakingly searching for it for almost ten years now. Recently, more and more clues float up, you should think about it carefully."

……….

Mu Yunjin did not listen to the whole thing and quietly left. Along the way, she can't help but be reminded of the first time she entered the Palace. That time, she accidentally b.u.mped into Chu Li, and was later firmly choked by Chu Li.

At that time, she heard the same content as today, Chu Li is looking for something. And when Chu Li found out she eavesdropped, he even wanted to kill her to silence her.

What can possibly be that important to painstakingly look for it for ten years?

By the time she set foot inside the Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion, she met Chu Li alone, about to go out. Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li. Perhaps due to eavesdropping on Ding Xian, she was feeling somewhat guilty so she gave Chu Li a brilliant and friendly smile.

Chu Li shot a glance at Mu Yunjin and indifferently opened his mouth.

"What's with the stupid smile?"

"……"

Mu Yunjin endured the urge to swear. Soon after, she gave a sharp look towards Chu Li and with large strides she walked towards her bedroom.

Chu Li stood in place and helplessly shook his head.

……….

When Mu Yunjin woke up, it is already the dead of the night. Mu Yunjin got up from bed, and looked at the pitch black room. She remembered returning in the afternoon and sleeping until now. She stopped her thoughts and sighed, then, she prepared to go and find something to eat.

After groping about in the dark, she opened the door. Outside, the courtyard is filled with lanterns, illuminating everything. Only the room diagonally opposite of hers is pitch black.

Chu Li is not here again.

Just as she was about to walk towards the direction of the kitchen, the tranquil courtyard is suddenly disturbed by a gust of wind, extinguishing all the lanterns.

Not a trace of light can suddenly be seen in the Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion.

Immediately, Mu Yunjin heard a subtle sound of footsteps in the rooftop, accompanied by many people's breathing.

Mu Yunjin slightly frowned, this is…..

a.s.sa.s.sins have come?

Dismissing her thoughts, Mu Yunjin immediately returned to her room. She leaned behind her cabinet and held her breath. She listened to her surroundings with rapt attention.

After a short period of time, revealed only by the moonlight, Mu Yunjin saw from the roof, people flying down and steadily standing in front of her room door.

"Chu Li is not here tonight, it is an exceptionally good time to take action."

A deep and low male voice rang out from outside the door. When the words fell, the a.s.sa.s.sins nodded and dispersed.

'Squeak'

A man pushed open Mu Yunjin's room door. Mu Yunjin stood behind the cabinet and watched the a.s.sa.s.sin's lithe footsteps. After entering her room, he began to overturn trunks and boxes searching for something.

Gradually, the black clothed man advanced towards the cabinet.

Mu Yunjin's Phoenix tail whip wrapped on her wrist began to stir, and the dagger hidden on her sleeves is now gripped on her hands. The black clothed man slowly approached.

When the black clothed man opened the cabinet, In a split second Mu Yunjin's figure flashed and with a bloodthirsty smile followed by a flick of her wrist, she raised her dagger and firmly pierced the black clothed man in the heart.

Steady and very accurate, it is not bad.

The black clothed man simply did not expect to see a person behind the cabinet. Before he could react, he is already dead.

Mu Yunjin pulled out her dagger and walked out.

At this moment, inside the Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion, the men in black are everywhere. Mu Yunjin faintly narrowed her eyes, her line of sight continued to look at these black clothed men.

Just as Mu Yunjin is preparing to brandish her whip to settle these black clothed men one by one. She suddenly felt a number of hidden guards emerge nearby. Moreover they feel so familiar, the first time she met Chu Li, those people are hidden all around him.

Soon after, the extinguished lanterns within the Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion instantly restored its light.

Those black clothed people who were originally walking skillfully and easily in the night were suddenly locked in their places. Then, they saw a dark silhouette enter the Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion.

Mu Yunjin saw Chu Li as she slightly raised her eyebrow, then looked around the large number of hidden guards. She suddenly felt at the moment that she just showered affection to an uninterested party.

(TL: Well for what its worth Yunjin, those hidden guards are slow that they had to wait for you to take action!)

As it turns out, this household is long ago, prepared.

"It's bad, we fell into a trap, quickly withdraw!"

A black clothed man yelled, and immediately flew to leave.

When Chu Li heard the words, the corner of his lips evoked a cold smile.

"Mete out punishment, none can leave."

"Yes your Highness."

Once the words fell, the hidden guards rushed out one by one.

Chu Li looked around and glimpsed Mu Yunjin standing at her bedroom door. A trace of surprise emerged in his eyes and soon after, he walked over. When he arrived in front of Mu Yunjin, Chu Li pursed his lips.

"Did it scare you?"

"Not at all, it's just that inside my room there is a dead body. Might I trouble your people to help me clean it up."

Mu Yunjin pointed a finger inside.

Chu Li slightly wringed his brows.

"You did it?"

"I mounted a sneak attack and got lucky."

Mu Yunjin calmly smiled, and looked down. How long could she conceal her skills?

"En."

Chu Li nodded.

After a short period of time, Ding Xian came down from the roof, his hands carrying a black collar. He walked towards Chu Li to report.

"Your Highness, They seem to be from Dong Lin Country."

"Settle it neatly."

Chu Li shot a glance at Ding Xian.

Ding Xian nodded.

When she heard Dong Lin country, Mu Yunjin recalled what she overheard earlier. Ding Xian also spoke about this country.

She can't help but smell a conspiracy.

Apparently, it is not peaceful in the Liu Huang zi Fu.

After a while, the surroundings restored its serenity, Mu Yunjin also thought to return to sleep. But when she went inside, she immediately turned and walked out again.

Chu Li watched Mu Yunjin, puzzled.

"Dang, I'm hungry, I'll go find something to eat."

As soon as the words fell, Mu Yunjin twitched the corner of her mouth and walked away from the courtyard.

Chu Li raised the tip of his brow as he followed Mu Yunjin with his eyes. Afterwards, he asked Ding Xian.

"Go to Mu Yunjin's room and get rid of the smell of blood."

"Yes, Your Highness."

……….

In the small kitchen, Mu Yunjin rummaged through it and only found a few cold steam buns and a few left over food.

Mu Yunjin grinned, and lift up her sleeves, and looked for two eggs. Soon after, she made herself a bowl of egg fried rice.

As soon as she ate a mouthful of rice, Mu Yunjin felt like she smelled blood. She can't help but throw up and put her bowl aside. Soon after, she seized a steamed bun and walked away from the small kitchen.

It is a very late night of summer, but there is a trace of light wind that lightly brushes on her body. She felt pleasantly cool.

Mu Yunjin doesn't want to return to Gla.s.s Spring Pavilion. So she sat down on a railing outside the pavilion. She idly gnawed at the cold steam bun in her hands.

Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Mu Yunjin slowly started to mumble.

"The hour is not known to the moon, to shout the feelings of a white jade dish. To suspect the jade mirror, flying at the clear sky holding with both hands."

(TL: Don't ask… I did my best.. XD)

She stopped talking and gave a low laugh.

"In the dead of the night, your actually in a good mood."

Chu Li's voice came through, his words had a bit of mocking.

Mu Yunjin slightly paused and looked around.

"Your Highness Liu Huang zi, did not go to rest? What are you doing here?"

"This poem is composed by you?"

Chu Li ignored Mu Yunjin's words and asked.

"You attach importance to me, I don't have the ability to compose poetries."

Mu Yunjin twitched her mouth, when she finally finished eating steamed buns, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

Chu Li stared at Mu Yunjin, Soon, he fished out a jade whistle from his pocket and gave it to Mu Yunjin.

"If you blow the whistle, you can summon the Fu's hidden guards."

Mu Yunjin looked at the fine workmanship of the jade whistle. She smiled but did not reach out her hands to get it.

"No need, I can protect myself."

"On your own?"

Chu Li indifferently smiled and fiddled with the Jade whistle.

Hearing it, Mu Yunjin bit her lip, then she gave a soothing smile and reached out to Chu Li's hands and received the Jade whistle.

"Then, I'll take it."

After receiving the Jade whistle, Mu Yunjin thought to herself, she is deliberately hiding her skills. Maybe someday she would need these hidden guards help. This jade whistle can still be a form of defense.

Seeing that Mu Yunjin had received the Jade whistle, Chu Li left no trace of his frown.

"Your room is already rid of the stench of blood. You may feel at ease to return and rest."

"……"

Mu Yunjin stood in place, the corners of her mouth twitched.
