Chapter 127 Desserts
In the study of Prince Yi's mansion, Su Yi was concentrating on listening to the intelligence report from the secret guards.
Suddenly, he heard Ling Feng's conversation with Ling Yu outside the yard and learned that Ling Feng had returned. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the content of the secret guard's report became long and boring.
Su Yi said to the secret guard: "If there is nothing else, you can leave.
The secret guard was confused. He had just entered the study and had not finished half of his work report. How could he say there was nothing else to do?
Seeing that the secret guard was still standing still, Su Yi spoke again impatiently: "Back off."
Now that things had come to this, the secret guard knew that it would be tactless to stay any longer, so he quickly took his leave and left Su Yi's study.
"Ling Feng~"
Ling Feng, who had just returned from delivering snacks to the General's Mansion, knew that it would take Su Yi at least half an hour to finish talking with the secret guards, so he stood in the yard chatting with Ling Yu. When he heard Su Yi calling him, he was stunned.
When he reacted, he quickly trotted into Su Yi's study.
"Master, you're looking for me?"
Su Yi asked, "Are you happy to see the snacks today, Ah Jin?"
"My lord, I didn't see Miss Mu. It was Miss Qing'er who came out to get the snacks."
"Didn't you ask Ah Jin if he had any message for me?"
Ling Feng was stunned again, and he knew that he had forgotten to do something at the gate of the General's Mansion today.
"I didn't ask, and Miss Qing'er didn't say anything, so should I go over and ask again now?"
Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'd better ask again tomorrow. If I go too often, Ah Jin will find me annoying again."
Su Yi muttered to himself, wondering whether the dim sum made by the chef from Guangxin would suit Mu Jin's taste.
Su Yi pondered for a moment and said to Ling Feng, "Go to Nanmen Street and call the chef who makes lotus rolls. Let the chef from Guangxin learn how to make lotus rolls that Ah Jin likes. Deliver the lotus rolls to the general's mansion at breakfast time every day, so that Ah Jin doesn't have to wait until the afternoon to eat lotus rolls."
When Ling Feng was ordered to leave Su Yi's study, he passed by Ling Yu and quickly grabbed Ling Yu, and the two hid aside.
Ling Feng whispered: "You said that the master is now full of Miss Mu in his heart and eyes. He has been chasing him to the south several times, but he has not made any move. I think he is delaying because of Miss Mu."
Ling Yu said: "That's right."
"The master has been asking us to send things to the general's mansion every other day, but Miss Mu never comes out to see him. Every time, it's the maid who comes out to pass on the message. The master is so arrogant that he even wonders if Miss Mu will be annoyed by him."
Ling Yu nodded and agreed: "That's right. Now in the master's heart, nothing is more important than Miss Mu. You'd better be smart and don't get into trouble."
Ling Feng sighed and said, "They don't pay much attention to it. The master is so enthusiastic, I don't know how long he can hold on."
In the cave, Nangong Min sat up from the pile of licorice. It was getting dark. Mu Jin had been out for more than an hour and had not returned. He couldn't help but feel anxious. He held onto the wall of the cave, stood up with difficulty, and bent over to slowly move towards the cave entrance.
Nangong Min walked with difficulty. With every step he took, the wounds on his body made him sweat profusely. It was only a distance of two meters, but it took him a quarter of an hour to walk to the entrance of the cave.
He took a branch from the cave entrance to support himself and wanted to go out to find Mu Jin, but he saw Mu Jin walking back from the opposite valley from afar.
Mu Jin was holding a plucked pheasant and a skinned rabbit, both of which were skewered on bamboo poles. When he saw him appear at the entrance of the cave, he couldn't help but frown and walked towards him quickly.
"Why did you run out? The bleeding from this wound has finally stopped. Don't let you hurt it again." Mu Jin said worriedly.
Nangong Min smiled at her: "I saw you for so long and didn't come back. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I wanted to go out and look for you."
Mu Jin quickly put down the prey in his hand, walked forward and turned over his clothes. Sure enough, the healed wounds were bleeding.
Mu Jin said with amusement and anger: "With your weak body now, a three-year-old child can knock you down, so don't come out to make trouble for me again."
After Mu Jin finished speaking, he immediately and carefully helped Nangong Min back to the cave. He helped him lie down gently on the haystack and carefully applied hemostatic vines to him. After making sure that the wound was fine, he walked to the cave entrance and took back the prey.
Mu Jin broke off a few branches and threw them into the fire. The leaves curled up as they were licked by the flames, making tiny crackling sounds.
Then Mu Jin placed the prey on a wooden rack and began to roast it. The flames roasted the prey, slowly emitting an enticing aroma.
Nangong Min looked at Mu Jin who was busy running around for him, and felt happy but also a little distressed. He always felt guilty for making her suffer.
Mu Jin saw Nangong Min staring at her and smiled: "What are you looking at?"
"No, I just want you to be stuck here for a few more days. I'm sorry for the trouble."
Mu Jin smiled slightly and did not answer immediately. After a long while, she spoke.
"The reason why I took so long just now was because I went around the foot of the mountain to confirm that there was nothing unusual there, so I went to the mountain to find these foods."
"I think those people may not have thought that we would hide in a cave on the mountainside. However, even if it is temporarily safe here, I am still a little worried. I am thinking about going down the mountain tomorrow to buy some replacement clothes. Once your wound gets better, it is better for us to leave here as soon as possible."
Nangong Min also nodded and said, "My injury, if I don't move, I estimate it will be fine in two days. In fact, if you want to leave, you can leave tomorrow."
Mu Jin knew that Nangong Min had a special physique, but no matter how special it was, it would take time for his body to recover. She thought of the first time she met Nangong Min. At that time, his injuries were almost as serious as they are now. It seemed that it would take 10 days to fully recover. She thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow, if your injuries are fine, we will leave."
Mu Jin took the roasted rabbit and tore off a rabbit leg for Nangong Min. The rabbit was roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, and was very delicious. The two of them had a hearty meal and chatted together. They both felt that the years were peaceful and tranquil.
Mu Jin sat next to Nangong Min and joked with him: "Go to sleep first. After a good rest, the wound will heal quickly. If you rupture the wound again, I will leave you here alone."
Nangong Min knew that Mu Jin was joking with him, but he also knew that what Mu Jin said was the truth. His only task now was to recover from his injuries and take Mu Jin away from here as soon as possible.
Nangong Min said, "Then I will sleep for an hour first, and it will be your turn later. You have been tired all day, so let me watch over you at night."
Mu Jin smiled and nodded, then continued to throw firewood into the fire.
Nangong Min looked at her for a long while, then slowly bent his lips and closed his eyes.
Seeing Nangong Min sleeping, Mu Jin leaned back against the rock wall behind her and thought about something. She wondered if the food she had bought for Marquis Mu Wei before leaving Beijing was already on its way to the border.
At the border, Mu Jin sighed. She really missed her father and elder brother.
