Chapter 152 You are really implicated by me
Xiao Mu frowned slightly. He knew that Liu Yunniang had a good relationship with Lady Anbohou, but he always felt a little uneasy about asking Yunniang out at this time.
He did not forget that there was a Prince Song in her family who was not yet married.
"Yunniang, why would Lady Anbohou invite you to meet her at this time?"
There was a hint of weirdness in Xiao Mu's tone.
Liu Yunniang looked at Xiao Mu's awkward look and felt a little funny.
"Xiao Mu, don't think too much. Madam Anbohou is a kind person. She was also very fond of Xiaoxiao last time. This time, we agreed to go to Hankong Temple to pray for blessings, which was also a good intention. I don't know anyone in this capital, and Madam Anbohou and Miss Song are rare acquaintances. Don't think too much, I will be careful."
Xiao Mu didn't know if he was overthinking it, but he always felt that it was strange for Lady Anbo to meet Yunniang at this time.
"Now, don't worry about the rumors in the capital. This matter is not something that Murong Jin can do alone. His Majesty will not ignore it."
Liu Yunniang heard that his tone was not right, and looked up at him, only to see that his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were slightly cold, and he asked softly,
"But what's the hidden story behind this? Wasn't this done by Murong Jin?"
"Murong Jin was behind this, but it was the Queen Mother who fanned the flames."
Xiao Mu sighed slightly and continued,
"The Queen Mother has always been dissatisfied with me. This time, the matter of Murong Jin's life experience has made the Queen Mother and Prince Shun lose face. She has favored Murong Jin for so many years, and now it seems a little ridiculous. I am an eyesore to her, so this time, you are really implicated by me."
Liu Yunniang felt a tightness in her heart, but she soon came to her senses.
"Don't say that. It's hard to say who implicated whom, you and I. All we can say is that we both offended the Queen Mother, and we just took action together."
Liu Yunniang gently gathered her clothes and said casually.
Seeing that she didn't care, Xiao Mu felt relieved and continued,
"Don't worry, she doesn't know the relationship between you and me. After all, it's not easy for me to be discovered by others when I'm climbing the wall every day."
Liu Yunniang listened to him talking more and more outrageously, and glanced at him.
"You are becoming more and more shameless, and you are becoming more and more skilled in speaking shameless words."
Xiao Mu lowered his head and coughed twice before he spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness and doting.
"I'm just trying to make you happy. You know, I always want to make you laugh. But to be honest, when Lady Anbo suddenly asked you out, I'm still a little worried that the Queen Mother would not let it go and might take the opportunity to attack. So you must be careful and let the people around you be alert as well."
His eyes revealed deep worry, and he seemed to be very uneasy about this date.
"Okay, I get it. Don't worry. Go back."
Liu Yunniang felt that Xiao Mu was a little nagging and sighed inwardly, wondering why this man was becoming more and more nagging.
But she still patted the back of his hand gently, trying to comfort him.
Xiao Mu held Liu Yunniang's hand tightly, as if he was unwilling to let go.
He ignored her growing impatience and continued,
"Don't worry, I will send secret guards to protect you. If anything unusual happens, they will come to your aid immediately. When you go to the appointment, you must be cautious and don't trust anyone easily. Remember, if you encounter danger, let someone notify me immediately."
"Okay, I get it. Have you forgotten that I am not a weak and defenseless woman anymore?"
Liu Yunniang smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in her eyes.
She understood Xiao Mu's worries, but she was not afraid. She had to learn how to deal with various difficulties and challenges, and she couldn't always be a weak woman who needed protection from others.
If she really has the opportunity to go to the Northwest in the future, she hopes that she will not become a burden to Xiao Mu.
What she longed for was the chance to fight alongside him.
Xiao Mu sighed helplessly, he knew he couldn't delay any longer.
He walked up to Liu Yunniang and kissed her forehead gently.
"Yunniang, be careful when you go to Hankong Temple to pray. I'll wait for you to come back."
Liu Yunniang nodded.
"Okay, don't worry."
After Xiao Mu left, Liu Yunniang began to prepare to go to Hankong Temple to pray with Lady Anbohou.
Originally, she didn't care much about praying, and always felt that it was just for an appointment.
However, now that she heard Xiao Mu’s tragic story about his “previous life”, she was unconsciously filled with awe.
As the sky began to brighten, she was filled with thoughts and had no intention of going back to sleep, so she simply got up and got dressed.
She thought about what Xiao Mu had said about the tragic situation in the northwest in her previous life, and a feeling of worry welled up in her heart.
She didn't know whether she could really avoid such a tragedy in this life, nor did she know what she could do for Xiao Mu.
But she knew that going to Hankong Temple to pray might be the only thing she could do now.
As soon as she stood up, she heard Yuezhu's voice coming from outside the window.
"Madam, are you awake?"
"come in."
Yuemei and Yuezhu slowly entered the room.
When they saw that the lady had stood up, they were a little surprised.
"Ma'am, do you need a bath?"
By now, Yuezhu and the other two already knew everything about General Xiao and his wife. Seeing the wife in such a state, she must have washed herself thoroughly in the morning.
Liu Yunniang tried her best to hide her guilt and nodded slightly.
"Ah."
Surrounded by Yuezhu and Yuemei, she came to the shower room. The hot water that had been prepared in advance was emitting wisps of hot steam, and the water surface sprinkled with flower petals looked particularly tempting.
Liu Yunniang took off her clothes and slowly stepped into the bathtub.
The warm water surrounded her, relaxing her tense nerves a little.
Yuezhu gently wiped Liu Yunniang's back with soft and skillful movements.
After taking a bath, Liu Yunniang put on clean underwear and sat down in front of the dressing table.
Yuezhu picked up the comb and carefully combed Liu Yunniang's long hair.
She combed her hair smooth and sleek before putting it into a demure bun.
Yuemei asked the maids to start cleaning the bathroom.
Liu Yunniang looked at the two people who had a clear division of labor. Although they didn't say a word, they had a tacit understanding.
She had to admit that Xiao Mu's eye for selecting people was still good. Not to mention that Yuemei and Yuezhu had taken the loyalty pill, she also liked these two girls' attentiveness and prudence very much.
Neither of them was a talkative person, but they were very attentive in serving me.
"Yuezhu, go ask someone to tell the kitchen to make some lotus spring rolls that Xiaoxiao likes for breakfast today."
Yuezhu nodded in agreement and hurried down to arrange for the maid to pass on the message.
Liu Yunniang originally thought that based on Ye Xiaoxiao's personality, she would definitely sleep more today.
But who would have thought that just as Yuezhu left, she saw Chunxi holding Ye Xiaoxiao's hand and walking into the yard.
"Mother."
