Chapter 367 We are still one wedding night away
Xue Huang returned to the palace alone, but did not find Mo Yunchen's whereabouts.
She returned to Lanxiu Pavilion and asked her remaining maids, only to find out that Mo Yunchen seemed to have gone to the general's mansion.
Cui Jinyu was not here either. She went back to the general's mansion to stay for a while a few days ago.
Xue Huang felt strange. Yesterday in the court, Mo Yunchen and Shen Congfeng were at loggerheads, yet today he was going to see him again. Could it be that they were still going to collude with each other?
"Do you think General Dingguo would dare to attack the princes and nobles who hold military power in his mansion?"
The four maids looked at each other, confused.
Dong Yue asked: "Princess, are you saying that General Shen wants to kill King Han Xi?"
"Just say what you want, don't worry about it."
"Princess, why haven't Sister Yun Qing and the others come back?" Dong Yue continued to ask.
"They are all settled in Jinxiu Tower. Haitang and Zhuoyang are injured, and Cuinong and Yunqing are taking care of them. If you have nothing to do, go and see them. I don't need anyone to serve me here."
"How can the princess be left alone?" Yingchun brought the hot tea to her. "You've been traveling so long, princess, please take a rest."
Xue Huang leaned on the couch, the warmth from the burning charcoal made her a little sleepy. "No one has bullied you these days, right?"
"We are the princess's people, who dares to bully us?" Dongyue smiled like a silly girl.
"That's good." Xue Huang said. "If someone bullies you, just fight back. Don't swallow your anger."
"Don't worry, Princess." Yingchun, the oldest among them, was very steady. "You don't need to worry about these trivial matters."
Xue Huang nodded and asked them to leave.
She waited until after dinner, but Mo Yunchen still didn't come back.
Could it be that he really had a fight with Shen Congfeng?
Thinking of this, she quickly stood up and planned to find someone to inquire about the news.
As soon as she opened the door, Mo Yunchen staggered in, and the hand that pushed the door grabbed her arm.
He seemed not to have expected Xue Huang to come back. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he leaned on her.
Xue Huang frowned and pushed him, "Have you drunk too much?"
Mo Yunchen did smell of alcohol, but it wasn't strong. Instead, his face was slightly red. He closed the door and held Xue Huang tightly. "You're back."
Xue Huang had no choice but to help him walk inside, "I have something to do..."
Mo Yunchen interrupted her, "I've been poisoned by the Hehuan Powder, you..."
Hearing this, Xue Huang paused and immediately pushed him away, "Then why did you come to see me?"
Mo Yunchen was nearly knocked down by her push. He quickly grabbed Xue Huang's sleeve, pulled her into his arms, then turned over and pressed her down on the bed.
Xue Huang was startled and pushed him in panic, "Mo Yunchen, get up!"
Mo Yunchen clamped her hands and kept moving closer to her, his warm breath constantly falling on her face.
"What does your grandfather mean by asking you and Rong Yu to return to the valley to get married?"
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"
“I heard everything that was said at that time.”
Xue Huang struggled to free her hand, but his hand was like an iron clamp, and it didn't move at all. "I heard it, and you're asking me after hearing it?"
"He is your uncle, how can your grandfather go against the relationship between master and apprentice?" Mo Yunchen's eyes were a little scattered, and he buried his face in her neck and rubbed it. Xue Huang's skin was cool and delicate, and he was a little greedy. He could no longer suppress the heat in his body.
Xue Huang couldn't help but tremble, and the cold air gathered in her palms, "Why are you crazy again? If you don't get up, I won't be polite!"
Mo Yunchen stared at hers with his dark eyes, "Come to think of it, we are still short of a wedding night."
