Chapter 423 I promise not to let myself get hurt
Although Xing Si, who was standing aside, did not say anything, his expression was more serious than ever before.
He had only just learned today that the princess was going to Northern Qi, and had not even had time to write a letter to the prince.
But looking at Li Mulan's attitude, he definitely can't stop her.
Li Mulan was also in the same situation. She had not wanted to tell Xing Si at first. But with his intelligence, he would surely find out that something was wrong very quickly. In order to avoid any mistakes, she decided to tell the truth.
"Princess, this matter can be handed over to Xing Si. You don't have to go there in person."
Li Mulan waved her hands. "Xing Si, we haven't been together for a long time, but it's enough for you to know my temper. I won't change my decision. But don't worry, when Tianyu went to the border, I asked him to take a letter to your prince. This was my idea alone, so you can't be blamed."
"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried about your safety."
"You don't have to worry about this. I have the ability to protect myself. The only thing you can do now is to prevent Yudie from revealing her true colors. It won't work if she just claims to be sick. You still have to let her go out and show her face every once in a while so that everyone outside knows that I have been in the palace the whole time and have never left Kyoto. Do you understand?"
Xing Si pursed his lips, "Xing Si understands."
"I'll leave the Emperor's side to you. Anyway, I left a letter for him. If he finds any clues, let Yudie give him the letter."
If you don't find any clues, just keep it secret.
Xing Si looked a little embarrassed, but he knew he couldn't stop her, "...Yes, when will the princess leave?"
"Tomorrow morning."
Xing Si gritted his teeth and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Li Mulan smiled. "I did something dishonest, and I wanted to hide it from you. But I think with your intelligence, it would be difficult for Yudie to hide the truth."
Row 4: ······Haha, so that’s what you’re worried about·····
"So, I might as well tell you the truth. This way, you can help cover up."
Line 4: ······You might as well not say anything. No, we have to inform the prince immediately.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Mulan told him all her plans. In Kyoto, she had her grandfather and Xing Si to help her cover up, so she didn't have to worry.
After everything was arranged, she went to Mo Yan's yard to have dinner with her master today.
Tianyi was not there, saying that he was away for a few days to meet friends. Only Mo Yan and Wufeng were waiting for Li Mulan at the dinner table.
Li Mulan looked at the dishes on the table and smiled happily, "They are all my favorites."
Wufeng snorted coldly and said nothing.
Mo Yan said, "Eat, I've been waiting for you."
"okay."
Mo Yan picked up a piece of food for her with chopsticks and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Well, all right. We'll set out at the beginning of the morning hour tomorrow."
Wu Feng frowned and handed her the soup. "So early?"
"It's not early yet. A horse that can travel a thousand miles a day would need two days to get there without stopping. I have to hurry."
When Wu Feng heard her say that she wanted to work non-stop, he felt distressed and started to mutter, "You just recovered from your illness and you haven't even stopped taking the medicine yet, and you're still tossing around like this. Even if your body is in good shape, it can't stand your nonsense like this."
"Hey, didn't you say a few days ago that I was getting better? I'm strong enough to kill a tiger."
"Humph, even a tiger would be scared of you."
"That's it, I'm a rough person, this is nothing."
Wufeng was too lazy to say anything to her and kept picking up food for her. Soon, Li Mulan's bowl was piled high.
Li Mulan didn't say anything to him. She let him keep serving her food while she ate slowly and leisurely.
Finally, Mo Yan couldn't stand it anymore, "Well, how can she eat so much?"
Whose apprentice is this girl? He just picked up a piece of food for her with chopsticks, and this old phoenix was more active than him.
Li Mulan smiled slyly, "Oh, Old Phoenix, you should be more low-key. My master is jealous."
Mo Yan slapped her head in annoyance, "Even eating can't stop you from talking."
"Hehehe, you guys are too serious. I have to liven up the atmosphere."
Wu Feng was helpless, "I'm still worried about you."
But he couldn't say anything to ask her not to go, and whispered to that girl... Alas, she also has a miserable life.
Mo Yan looked at Li Mulan with complicated eyes, "Xiao Jiu, this trip..."
Li Mulan saw her master's hesitation and grinned, "Master, no matter what the outcome of this trip is, Xiaojiu will not regret it."
Li Mulan guessed something from the fact that Mo Yan remained silent about Qingyu's affairs time and time again.
However, given her personality, she would never accept her fate without even trying.
Mo Yan smiled and nodded, "Although everything is predestined by God. However, you are a variable, and there may be a different ending."
"It's God's will," Li Mulan said as she picked at the food in her bowl. "If God has eyes, he will not let such a good person like Sister Qingyu die. Master, Xiaojiu will not accept his fate."
"Okay." Mo Yan laughed. "It's better not to accept your fate. I don't like to accept my fate either. You are worthy of being my disciple. We are both stubborn."
Looking at the arrogant master and disciple, Wu Feng lowered his eyes silently. He couldn't bear to watch it. He really couldn't bear to watch it.
In the evening, Wufeng collected a bunch of bottles and jars.
"These are healing elixirs. You have used them all before. I guess you don't have much left. Take these with you."
Li Mulan raised her eyebrows slightly, "You really understand me. Everything I had was divided up by those guys. I didn't have any left."
Wu Feng snorted coldly, his mustache curled up, and handed over a small package, "These are poisons, um...you use them at your own discretion."
He usually hid this part of the poison for fear that it would be discovered by this girl. Because it was too vicious, he was afraid that she would hurt herself.
When she heard that it was poison, Li Mulan became excited. Looking at the notes stuck on the small bottles, she immediately smiled evilly.
"Old Phoenix, old Phoenix, I didn't expect you to have so many good things hidden, hehehe."
Wu Feng rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Why would I give you so much poison if I have nothing to do? If it weren't for the danger, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you."
"Oh, look how stingy you are."
"I'm stingy," Wu Feng glared, "Do you know how much time, herbs, and money these medicines cost me? I'm stingy, huh, a heartless ungrateful bastard."
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Look at you, you're taking it seriously." Li Mulan pulled his beard. "Don't worry. You've given me so many good things, and I'm so powerful. Are you afraid that I can't protect myself?"
Wufeng ignored him and sorted out all the medicines for her.
Li Mulan knew that he was upset, so she moved closer to him and said, "Master said that my skills have improved a lot recently, which is amazing. I promise that I will never let myself get hurt."
