The emperor's first-class concubine

Chapter 225 Why Cover Up
Outside the cave, a little further away, Mu Qianxue was eating preserved fruit to pass the time, while paying attention to the movement inside the worm cave.

Of course she was curious about what was going on inside, but she really hated the fishy and smelly smell, so she had to wait patiently outside, at worst, wait for Mo Li and the others to come out, and then tell her about it.

"Ma'am, the master has come out." Qi Hu, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, reported immediately after hearing footsteps.

After spitting out the core of the preserved fruit, Mu Qianxue twitched her lips and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Mo Li came out, Huo Yun came out, Tong Lao and Jing Niang were carried out, Leng Yue helped Tong Yu out, and then there were two less guards...

Mu Qianxue's thoughtful gaze swept across the bruised and distressed Elder Tong, and Jing Niang, who was not injured but had suspicious green marks all over her face, and finally landed on Tong Yu.

Seeing Tong Yu's calm expression, it seems that Tong Lao and Jing Niang should only be injured, but what happened to him?

His hair was in a mess, his robe was covered with black, green and dark red stains, his wooden staff was gone, and he was supported by Leng Yue. The most suspicious thing was, why did he still look so tired?
Mu Qianxue ran to Mo Li's side, took his arm and asked, "What's wrong? What's going on inside?"

"Let's go, let's talk when we get back. It's late, and they might not be able to hold on." Mo Li took advantage of the situation and hugged Mu Qianxue by the waist, and walked down the mountain with big strides.

Mu Qianxue could understand Mo Li's eagerness, he must be impatient to get news from Tong Lao.So, she nodded obediently, and then naturally nestled into his arms.

It wasn't until they all sat on the horseback that Mu Qianxue couldn't help asking again.

Anyway, running is like a horse running, and talking does not waste time, so Mo Li described the situation in the cave.

What he said was simple, when he entered, Old Monster Gu was dead, and Elder Tong was also seriously injured, but Niang Jing might have been protected by Elder Tong in some way, and now she is just unconscious due to lack of energy.

Then, a cyan flying insect suddenly ran out from the body of Old Monster Gu. Because of carelessness, two guards attacked the insect, and then the insect was eaten by Xiaodianzi.

Mo Li's words were flawless, but Mu Qianxue still felt that some details were missing, "What's the matter with Mr. Yu?"

"He?" Mo Li said bluntly, "He fell by himself, and he couldn't see, so he insisted on following in."

Mu Qianxue: "..."

You fell... You fell like that, it looks like you fell hard...

Back at Tong's house, Tong Yu immediately found out the healing elixir he had prepared, and Mu Qianxue snatched the elixir, and then drove him back to her room to clean herself up.

Taking advantage of Tong Yu's departure time, she added some ingredients to the pills, and then ordered the guards to feed the pills to Tong Lao.

As for Jing Niang, she is the only woman in this room, and she still has to take care of it herself.

In the herb garden, Mo Li insisted on drinking alone under the moonlight with a self-pourer.

"Why cover it for me?" In the shadows, Tong Yu's voice was faint.

Rubbing the handle of the pot with her thumb, Mo Li replied coldly, "If it were me, I would make the same choice as you. So, she doesn't need to know about this matter."

"You are so difficult that you are not curious. If she finds out, what will she think of me?"

"My lord, there is no need to be curious."

"Ah……"

Tong Yu left, Mo Li continued to drink, and everything returned to silence, as if the conversation between the two just now had never happened.
