Chapter 21: Visiting the Boudoir at Night
War Prince's Mansion
In the study, in silence, Jun Feimo played with the jade ring in his hand. He sat at the desk, his eyes as deep as a pool, and the cold aura emanating from his body gave Tianyi, who was standing beside him, goose bumps all over his body.
"Haven't you found out the identity of that woman that night?" Jun Feimo's voice was low and cold, as if it could penetrate people's souls.
Tianyi shuddered all over, even goosebumps stood up. He lowered his head and replied in a trembling voice: "Master, we checked all the people who burned incense at Yuchan Temple that day, and there was no woman who knew medicine."
Jun Feimo's brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he raised his head, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Tianyi continued: "Master, the woman I met today is the daughter of the general's mansion - Murong Zixi. She was always stupid before, but she is no longer stupid recently."
"Murong Zixi?" Jun Feimo repeated. When the woman said the name today, he felt that the name was familiar. Now when he heard Tian Yi mention it again, he narrowed his eyes slightly. Where had he heard it before?
Seeing this, Tianyi knew that his master had never taken those women in the capital seriously before. Even if he had heard of them or seen them, he would not have any memory of them. He quickly added: "Master, Murong Zixi is the granddaughter of the old Marquis Zhongyi. She has suddenly become less stupid recently."
Jun Feimo heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. She was actually the granddaughter of the loyal old marquis? No wonder he felt that the name was familiar.
When he was at the Lingnan border, he heard the old Marquis of Zhongyi and his two sons talking about Murong Zixi in the military camp, and he was worried that she was being bullied in the general's mansion.
It turned out that the loyal old marquis was talking about her. However, looking at her sharp skills in close combat, it would be fine if she didn't bully others, but others bullied her? Ha! In his opinion, it was impossible. And what about that "pistol" with amazing lethality? A woman who had been stupid for so many years suddenly became not stupid?
There were also hidden weapons that he had never seen before. Even if he took them to the best blacksmith shop under his command, no one could make an identical "pistol". There must be something fishy about this.
And the familiar feeling emanating from that woman made him fall into deep thought.
Tianyi continued, "Master, when Murong Zixi returned tonight, the gate of the general's mansion was closed. Not long after, the front hall of the general's mansion and the houses next to it collapsed and became a ruin. Even the people from Shuntian Mansion went to check, but they didn't find any clues."
Jun Feimo frowned even more. A woman suddenly became not stupid, and then such a strange thing happened in the general's mansion. Is there any connection between the two? A strong curiosity and desire to explore surged in his heart. He decided to go to the general's mansion in person to find out what secrets this Murong Zixi was hiding.
Jun Feimo stood up, walked out of the study, jumped up, and his figure passed by quietly. His steps were light, as if blending into the night.
Tianyi tried to follow, but only heard a vague voice: "No need to follow."
Tianyi scratched his head, full of confusion. Where was his master going in the middle of the night?
Jun Feimo came to the general's mansion and walked through the mansion as if he was walking in his own back garden. Nothing could stop him. He came to the courtyard of Ziwei Pavilion and looked deeply at the closed boudoir.
In the room, Xiaobai was lazily lying in Murong Zixi's arms. Its fur was as white as snow, its eyes were as black as obsidian, and although it was small in size, it looked extremely smart.
Suddenly, it opened its eyes abruptly, with a hint of alertness in its eyes. It arched its back in Murong Zixi's arms and looked at her with its dark eyes, "Master, there are people outside."
Murong Zixi was awakened by Xiaobai's action. She sat up instantly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She didn't notice the arrival of the outsider at the first time. Was she not alert enough? Or was it because this body was too tired today?
She looked at Xiaobai and saw that it was staring at the door, as if ready to pounce at any time.
Murong Zixi quickly stood up and put on her clothes.
At this moment, a figure flashed in from the window. Seeing this, Xiaobai rushed over without hesitation.
However, the man grabbed its neck and lifted it up. Xiaobai struggled in the air, his eyes full of fear, "Master, help me, this man is so strong!"
Murong Zixi was shocked when she saw this, and she attacked Jun Feimo with her body skills. Jun Feimo was stunned, obviously he didn't expect her to have such skills.
"You actually know martial arts?"
When Murong Zixi heard the familiar voice, she stopped, turned around and lit the candle on the table. When she saw who it was, she was shocked. Fortunately, she did not use the silver needle just now, otherwise, this man would have discovered that she was the one that night!
But it was late at night, and they had just met during the day, so why did this man come tonight? What did he want to do by breaking into her bedroom? Or did he find out that the woman who used him to detoxify the aphrodisiac that night was her?
Murong Zixi looked at him and said calmly, "Let my Xiaobai go. You broke into my boudoir at night. Are you a flower thief?"
Xiaobai kept struggling in Jun Feimo's hands, trying to break free from his restraints. However, Jun Feimo didn't seem to care, and he threw Xiaobai to the ground in disgust.
Xiaobai jumped into Murong Zixi's arms and whimpered.
Murong Zixi stroked Xiaobai's fur to comfort it. She looked up at Jun Feimo, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes.
Jun Feimo didn't seem to care about Murong Zixi's vigilance. He sat down at the table carelessly with a playful smile on his lips: "Flower thief? Murong Zixi? Silly girl? Ha!" His voice was low and magnetic.
Murong Zixi frowned even more when she heard this. Is this man investigating her? She thought to herself, "What is his purpose in breaking into my bedroom tonight? She should not act rashly."
Murong Zixi looked at Jun Feimo with a wary face. She had to admit that this man was very strong, but she had plenty of poison and hot weapons in her space, so she was not without the ability to fight him.
"What do you want to do?"
Jun Feimo raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "You are interesting. You have been stupid for so many years, but now you are not stupid anymore. You still have such skills. Are you really the stupid girl you used to be?"
Murong Zixi frowned, "How am I? Does it have anything to do with you?"
Jun Feimo narrowed his eyes and said, "Woman, please be polite when talking to me."
"Humph! You broke into my boudoir at night? And you want me to be polite to you? Where do you get the nerve to do that?"
Jun Feimo's face darkened. "Woman, how dare you talk to me like that? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"Nimma, the master poisoned him to death, so arrogant!"
"........."
Murong Zixi was also helpless. Xiaobai had been with her in modern times, and she didn't know what kind of dog it was. It had been like this for so many years, just like a puppy.
Even though it seems unreliable, Xiaobai is very protective of its owner.
She stroked the restless Xiaobai in her arms, "Xiaobai, calm down!"
Murong Zixi opened her eyelids and glanced at him calmly, "Man, you broke into the general's mansion at night just to talk nonsense?"
