The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 161 Chance Encounter

Mu Lanxue leaned forward slightly, her eyes locked on Mu Lanfeng, and she said in a cold voice: "Fifth sister, you and I are sisters, I don't want to hide anything from each other. What does that master look like? What skills did he teach you?"

Mu Lanfeng looked embarrassed, bit her lip, sighed softly, and said slowly: "Third sister, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the master has told us not to reveal his whereabouts and abilities at will."

Mu Lanxue frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was increasingly strange.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, I won't force you, but you must remember that if you get into trouble one day, you must tell me so that we can face it together as sisters."

Mu Lanfeng's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded: "Third sister, don't worry, I won't put myself in danger."

"That's good!" Mu Lanxue patted Mu Lanfeng's shoulder and smiled warmly.

"Third sister, let's go!" Mu Lanfeng affectionately took Mu Lanxue's arm and walked out of the alley together.

The street was bustling with people coming and going, just as before, as if everything that had happened in the alley before had never existed.

He had not taken two steps when he bumped into Li Zeqi, who was followed by Li Wenyuan.

This is a strange thing. Li Zeqi has always liked to be alone, and there are rarely people around him on weekdays. But today he has Li Wenyuan following him, which is really surprising!

A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Lanfeng's eyes. He smiled at Li Zeqi and bowed slightly to Li Wenyuan beside him: "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Rong!"

Mu Lanxue also followed Mu Lanfeng and bowed to the two of them.

"Fourth sister-in-law, there's no need to be so distant!" Li Wenyuan said with a smile.

Li Zeqi nodded, his eyes full of doting and tenderness. His deep eyes were like a pool of lake water. Under his high nose bridge, his thin lips were slightly raised with a faint smile.

"This is my third sister, Mu Lanxue!" Mu Lanfeng introduced softly.

Mu Lanxue bowed again, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.

Li Wenyuan smiled, approached Li Zeqi, and said in a low voice: "This Miss Mu San is as beautiful as the fourth sister-in-law."

After hearing this, Li Zeqi smiled meaningfully, reached out and gently patted Li Wenyuan on the head, and said, "You are such a young boy, but you have a good vision."

Li Wenyuan chuckled and scratched his head.

Mu Lanfeng heard their conversation and pretended to be unhappy. He said, "My two princes, how can you talk about others like this in front of my third sister? This is not in line with the demeanor of a prince."

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I hope this sister won't blame me." Li Wenyuan hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed his head to apologize.

Mu Lanxue bowed slightly, with a humble look on her face, and said softly, "Your Highness Prince Rong, you are too kind. I don't deserve the title of 'sister'. Your Highness is a prince, how dare I accept such a title? Your Highness, don't mind what happened just now."

Li Wenyuan raised his head, a hint of apology in his eyes, and said, "It is rare that Miss Mu San is so understanding. I will be careful about my words and actions in the future and not be abrupt again."

"Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk slowly?" Mu Lanfeng suggested.

Li Zeqi nodded slightly.

Not far ahead happened to be the "Tianya Inn", so the four of them walked forward together.

Ye Sanniang was not at "The End of the Earth", so the waiter led the four people directly to the teahouse on the second floor.

Mu Lanxue loves sweets, so Mu Lanfeng ordered a pot of tea for her and some exquisite desserts, then found a perfect spot to watch the show and let her sit down safely.

Li Wenyuan was also arranged to sit opposite Mu Lanxue.

The two were immersed in the play, and Mu Lanfeng felt relieved only after seeing this.

Mu Lanfeng and Li Zeqi sat not far from the two men, looked at them, and asked in confusion: "Why did you bring His Royal Highness Prince Rong out?"

"It was just a coincidence!" Li Zeqi's answer was very concise.

"Zheng Wanzhao has already returned to the border." Mu Lanfeng said in a low voice.

Li Zeqi nodded slightly, without showing any surprise on his face.

"Do you already know about this?" Mu Lanfeng asked doubtfully.

"I have been sending people to follow her, fearing that she will cause trouble again!" Li Zeqi responded.

"Then she came to see me before, I guess you know that too!"

Li Zeqi still nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "She first secretly entered the palace to meet the emperor, and then came to see you."

"She said that she accidentally discovered something unusual and was really worried, so she secretly returned to the capital and planned to report the matter to His Majesty. Unexpectedly, His Majesty not only did not believe her at all, but also severely reprimanded her and ordered her to return to the border as soon as possible."

Li Zeqi raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the stage, and then lowered his voice and said, "It's not that he doesn't believe it. On the contrary, he actually believes it. He is worried that if this matter gets out, it will cause panic among the people and then shake the morale of the border troops, so he can only choose to pretend not to believe it."

"Why do you think so?" Mu Lanfeng frowned and asked puzzledly.

"He has privately ordered the army to assemble." Li Zeqi looked solemn, and continued, "Judging from the movements of all parties, although he openly reprimanded Zheng Wanzhao and showed an attitude of disbelief, he secretly made rapid military deployments."

"Recently, there have been frequent military movements around the capital, all of which are heading towards the border. Furthermore, his trusted ministers have also been frequently entering and leaving the palace, looking hurried. All these signs show that His Majesty attaches great importance to what Zheng Wanzhao reported, but cannot express it publicly for the sake of the overall situation."

"If there is any disturbance on the border, these assembled troops will be able to rush to the rescue quickly to stabilize the situation. This move shows their foresight. Although the situation seems calm on the surface, there are actually undercurrents."

Mu Lanfeng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "That's great. We must not wait until something happens before we panic and get caught off guard."

"Don't worry! He is not an ordinary person to be able to reach that position. He even considers things more thoroughly than us." Li Zeqi said slowly.

"There are still some people in the foreign delegation who have not left Longyuan. I wonder what their purpose is?"

Li Zeqi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "We must be on guard against this. There are still people from the foreign delegation staying here at this time. Perhaps they are observing the situation in our dynasty. I will send people to keep an eye on them to prevent any changes."

Mu Lanfeng nodded in agreement: "Indeed!"

At this time, the wonderful performance on the stage was coming to an end. Over there, Li Wenyuan and Mu Lanxue were talking happily in a harmonious atmosphere.

Li Zeqi's gaze had been cast towards the two of them at some point, and he did not utter a word for a long time.

"My third sister is a very interesting person, with a straightforward and generous personality. It's not surprising that she can have such a good chat with His Royal Highness Prince Rong." Mu Lanfeng said with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Zeqi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

As he turned his eyes, he suddenly reached out and gently held Mu Lanfeng's jade hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a bit of joking: "Could there be anyone more interesting than my little princess?"

Mu Lanfeng's cheeks turned slightly red. She gently pulled back her hand and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty always teases me."

Li Zeqi was relentless and held her hand again, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. "What I said is from the heart. In my heart, no one in this world is as interesting as you."

At this moment, the sun shines on them, as if they are covered with a golden coat. Everything around them becomes exceptionally beautiful, and even the air is filled with a sweet scent.

Mu Lanfeng's heart moved slightly, and looking at Li Zeqi's affectionate eyes, a warm feeling surged in his heart!

She knew that she had a special place in this man's heart!

And he is the only one in her life.

They sat in the teahouse, quietly watching the end of the show on the stage. The noise around them seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier.

Li Zeqi gently held Mu Lanfeng's hand, and the warm touch made Mu Lanfeng feel more at ease.

There were no overly intimate actions, they just sat there quietly, holding hands, but it seemed as if there was endless power flowing between them.

Mu Lanfeng tilted his head slightly and looked at Li Zeqi's profile, his heart full of emotion. In this complicated world, how lucky it is to have such a person by your side.

"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will walk it together." Mu Lanfeng said softly.

Li Zeqi nodded slightly, his eyes firm. "Don't worry, I'm here."

Their eyes would occasionally look towards Li Wenyuan and Mu Lanxue not far away, and their thoughts would drift away in this moment of tranquility.
