Chu Qingqiang grinned towards Li Niang.
Li Niang nodded willingly and put a smile on her face. She waved her hand towards the men behind her and pointed to Mu Yunjin.
"Quickly, Take her away!"
"Yes!"
The men agreed and immediately approached.
Zi Xiang saw several men walked over, she was trembling in fear and went in front of Mu Yunjin.
"Wu gongzhu, you are family, Xiaojie is the Liu huang zi fei…."
Not waiting for Chu Qingqiang to respond, Mu Yunjin sneered.
"Zi Xiang, what are you requesting her to do?"
"It should be her requesting us to keep her and the brothel's private collaboration a secret."
Hearing Mu Yunjin's words, Chu Qingqiang laughed without fear.
"Death is near at hand, but you still have a big mouth. You really won't shed a tear until you see your coffin!"
"Someone come and take her away!"
"Yes, gongzhu."
Several men moved forward and surrounded Mu Yunjin in a circle. One of them stepped forward to grab Mu Yunjin's shoulder.
"Ah 一一."
The hand had not yet touch Mu Yunjin's shoulder, when they heard his scream. They immediately saw the back of the man's hand is covered with three long silver needles.
When Mu Yunjin saw this, she frowned, then she saw a figure flying and stood in front of her.
"Brother?"
It was Mu Yunhan.
At this time, Mu Yunhan's face is tight and looked displeased. His eyes fixed of Chu Qingqiang.
"Wu gongzhu really make one look at you with a whole new level of respect."
Chu Qingqiang stared blankly, she completely did not expect Mu Yunhan to come here. Her eyes can't help but show a hint of fear.
"Brother, how were you able come?"
Mu Yunjin eyed him curiously.
Mu Yunhan cast a sidelong glance towards Mu Yunjin and faintly replied.
"After you had left, I wanted to personally go to Zhuang Fu to pick up Yuyan. But I saw your carriage is still outside the Xiang Fu. So I went to the housekeeper to inquire about your destination. Afterwards, I followed you all the way here."
Hearing it, Mu Yunjin slightly relaxed.
Chu Qingqiang's face completely changed. This place has always been her secret base. She did not expect that Mu Yunhan easily discovered it.
This won't do, if this matter is revealed then it would be terrible.
Afterwards, her eyes showed a killing intent. She clenched her teeth and fished out a green whistle from her pocket and blew on it.
Seeing the whistle, Mu Yunjin is surprised.
Immediately, in the originally spacious and empty space emerged green clothed secret guards. As far as the eyes can see, they were about a hundred people.
"Imperial household's secret guards."
Mu Yunhan looked around and spat out those four words.
Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow.
"Do all of the prince and princess have their own hidden guards?"
Mu Yunhan nodded.
"When a prince or princess reach a certain age the royal family will assign hidden guards for them."
"So it is like this."
Mu Yunjin smiled, looking at Chu Qingqiang's hidden guards. It seems to be true.
"Wu gongzhu, are you sure you want to do this?"
Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Qingqiang with a smiling countenance.
Chu Qingqiang's eyes are steady and calm and with and icily arrogant tone she spoke.
"I'd rather break a jade than a roof."
"Today's matter, I have truly been reckless, without thinking I have revealed the matter about the Flower Moon House."
But Flower Moon house is important, and it is even related to her life.
Today, Mu Yunjin and Mu Yunhan, cannot leave with their lives.
If not, the one to die would be her.
Mu Yunhan tensely creased his eyebrows, and looked at the hidden guards around him then he whispered to Mu Yunjin.
"In a while, I'll clear the way for you. You have to run first, I'll stay here to deal with them."
"No need, we'll go together."
Mu Yunjin is unperturbed.
Soon after, her line of sight turned to Chu Qingqiang and made an extremely magnificent smile.
"Hidden guards? I also have them."
When her words fell, Chu Qingqiang saw a surprising sight. An exquisite jade whistle was pulled out and was gently blown.
In a flash, there were movements everywhere and they saw purple figures come out from the surrounding area, the number was huge and surrounded the green clothed hidden guards by two circles.
"Purple armored hidden guards, Chu Li actually allocated hidden guards to you?"
Chu Qingqiang fell back a step and sucked in a breath. Her eyes unable to conceal her shock.
Nowadays, in this vast and magnificent land, the four countries in the north, south, east and west are not as harmonious as in the surface. Therefore as children of the Imperial family, they naturally have hidden guards that can come anytime if a crisis occurs and protect their life.
And Chu Li actually allocated such important hidden guards to Mu Yunjin, could it be that…..
Chu Li, who has been unsympathetic to the affairs of the world. For the first time, Mu Yunjin has stirred his true feelings?
"Wu gongzhu, are you certain that you want to meet force with force?"
Mu Yunjin looked at the green armored hidden guards, compared to them the purple armored hidden guards are twice in numbers. She raised an eyebrow towards Chu Qingqiang.
She can't help but praise Chu Li, the whistle is really useful.
Chu Qingqiang's complexion became deathly white, and the row of her silvery teeth nearly broke into pieces with her biting. But, her many years of pride did not allow her to beg Mu Yunjin for forgiveness.
"Today is just a misunderstanding, everyone, it would be better if we all disperse. My Li Niang's Flower Moon house is a place where people sing. You don't think it is dirty."
Li Niang saw the situation is not right so she came out to smooth things over.
Mu Yunjin smirked and lifted her chin.
"So it is like this ah, Wu jie what do you say?"
Actually, how could she really possibly want Chu Qingqiang's life. Even if she wanted her life, her turn has not yet arrived.
Now that Chu Qingqiang hit her own achilles heel, from now on she will be well-behaved.
At this moment, she looked at her, and hoped she would be willing to follow this way out of this situation.
Chu Qingqiang pursed her lips, her eyes flashed with a cold light and after thinking for a moment, she smiled.
"Liu di mei, it is really a misunderstanding."
When her words fell, Chu Qingqiang waved her hands and the green armored hidden guards immediately disappeared.
Seeing that Chu Qingqiang withdrew her green armored hidden guards, Mu Yunjin also gestured her hand to withdraw the purple armored hidden guards. Her eyes concealed a deep thought.
"Since it is a misunderstanding, we'll end it here."
Mu Yunjin replied.
Even though Chu Qingqiang is unwilling, she is forced to swallow her anger and slightly nodded. In the corner of her eyes she glanced at Mu Yunhan, feeling a bit guilty.
This time, she doesn't even have a bit of a chance.
But it doesn't matter, she still won't let Zhuang Yuyan get away. She dared to snatch her man, that little slut!
Walking out of the house's courtyard, a horse and a carriage are parked. Just as Chu Qingqiang is supported by Wan Xiu to enter the carriage, Mu Yunjin stopped them.
"Is there anything else?"
Chu Qingqiang impatiently asked.
Mu Yunjin smiled and draw near Chu Qingqiang.
"You and the brothel's business deals, I will not tell anyone. But if something happened to me and my family, including the Zhuang young lady, I guarantee you that the next day, all of Xi Yuan people will know your secret."
"Therefore, we all should keep within our bounds."
After saying the words, Mu Yunjin turned to leave.
……….
On the way home, Mu Yunhan pulled the horse and walked alongside Mu Yunjin. From time to time, his eyes would display a bit of admiration.
"Yunjin, you really changed so much."
Mu Yunhan slightly sighed.
He remembered, before he went to battle campaign with the Qin Clan, the former Mu Yunjin only stayed at the Ascending Flower Pavilion and was the coward and timid Third Miss Mu. When he returned from the battlefield, Mu Yunjin's personality has changed completely. Earlier, when faced with Chu Qingqiang and those green armored hidden guards, there are only few women in the world who can accomplish being calm and cool-headed.
Mu Yunjin smiled, and turned her eyes to look at Mu Yunhan's eyes.
"Before, I just endured silently."
Mu Yunhan nodded and sighed a little.
"It is a good thing that you know to protect yourself."
"En."
……….
Liu Huang zi Fu.
"Huang zi fei, you have finally returned, you have been out for almost a day. His Highness is waiting for you to eat the evening meal!"
When Mu Yunjin entered the door, Shen Momo approached her although her words are a little reproachful, her eyes revealed a smiling expression.
"Chu Li is waiting for me?"
Mu Yunjin is a little surprised.
Hearing her words, Shen Momo immediately hushed Mu Yunjin.
"Huang zi fei, you cannot call His Highness with his taboo name."
"En."
Mu Yunjin nodded and walked towards the dining hall.
In the dining hall, she is assailed by the fragrance of food, and out of the corner of her eyes she saw Chu Li sitting. As if minding his own business, he picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.
After being tormented by Chu Qingqiang, now her hunger is for several persons.
Chu Li who is sitting on his spot has his attention at the woman who entered the door. She looks as if she had not eaten for several days when she looked helplessly at the dishes. Soon, she picked up her chopsticks and slowly ate one after the other.
At the side, when Shen Momo saw this scene, she was stunned and looked at Zi Xiang.
"What did you and Huang zi fei do all day? How did Huang zi fei starve like this?"
(TL: You should ask CQQ..)
Zi Xiang flattened her mouth and her eyes a little evasive, she subconsiously looked towards Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin heard Shen Momo's words, she laid down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth.
"It's not important, I was bored this afternoon, and walked to the outskirts, the road was long and I was tired."
Shen Momo comprehendingly nodded.
After eating half full, Mu Yunjin's attention turned to Chu Li. She recalled how his purple armored hidden guards have helped her a lot. She can't help but smile to Chu Li.
"For you."
Mu Yunjin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chu Li.
Chu Li looked curiously at Mu Yunjin before picking up the cup and drank a mouthful.
"Say, are you busy?"
Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"Nothing, its just that you are always away from the Fu."
Mu Yunjin replied.
When Chu Li heard the words, he just casually looked at Mu Yunjin and raised an eyebrow.
"This afternoon, why did you call out the hidden guards?"
"……"
Mu Yunjin is stunned, her eyes a little unnatural so she lowered her eyes and inwardly thought. He actually knows?
Mu Yunjin bit her lips and embarrassedly laughed.
"Accidentally blew the whistle."
"En?"
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin completely not believing.
Mu Yunjin felt guilty in this cross examination of Chu Li so she roguely opened her mouth.
"Didn't you give this whistle to me? Therefore, shouldn't the authority over it be in my hands?"
Hearing her words, Chu Li faintly curled his lips, he did not continue to ask.
