Stunning Phoenix Emperor

Chapter 397

Qin Yue pulled the cloak on her body, and suddenly felt a chill.
Looking out from the window, although the night has begun to fall, there are faint flashes of thunder and lightning mixed in the tumbling dark clouds. It seems that there will be another storm by tomorrow at the latest.
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.
Qin Yue pretended not to hear it. Obviously, the outsiders didn't expect him to respond, so she knocked on the door twice and walked in.
"What's the matter?" Qin Yue turned around.
"Drink the medicine!" Mei Xin put a tray on the table with a straight face.
During these few days of getting along, he has already figured out Qin Yue's bottom line a little bit. On the premise of not crossing this limit, the murderous demon king doesn't just kill anyone he sees.
"Why?" Qin Yue frowned, her eyes fell on the bowl of pitch-black liquid that exuded a bitter taste.
"It's just a few herbal medicines to keep out the cold, boiled with ginger water." Mei Xin explained, "It's been raining for a long time, and it's this season again. After I came back, because of the young lady, I didn't change it in time. clothes, if you don’t keep the cold away..."
"I'm not that weak." Qin Yue said coldly, then turned her head away.
Mei Xin scratched her hair helplessly, took two steps forward, and closed the window with a "boom!"
Qin Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at him scrutinizingly.
"It's cold, don't continue to blow the wind. If you are afraid of poison..." Mei Xin picked up an empty teacup, poured out half of the contents of the medicine bowl, drank it, and then said, "I will Drink it for you."
Qin Yue was taken aback, especially seeing that pretty little face wrinkled into a ball because of the bitter and hot relationship, she couldn't help smiling.
"Is this okay?" Mei Xin brought the bowl to him.
Qin Yue wanted to say that she wasn't afraid of him being poisoned, but she swallowed the words, took the bowl, and drank it clean in a few gulps.
Fangfeng, ephedra, cinnamon twigs, perilla leaves, fenugreek, ginger, and angelica dahurica are indeed used to treat wind and cold, but there is too much ginger water, and the taste is really not very good.
After taking the scalding medicine, the stomach gradually warmed up, and the chill just now dissipated unknowingly.
Mei Xin gritted her teeth and stuffed the sugar she brought in together into her mouth... Judging by the way Qin Yue drank without changing his expression, he knew that he didn't care about the taste of the medicine at all.
"Mei Xin, don't you care too much?" Qin Yue asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Mei Xin reacted after being stunned, and couldn't help laughing, "Actually, it's not just His Royal Highness who wants me to come, the Palace Master also has selfish intentions."
"Mei Ruoshui?" Qin Yue said.
"Isn't your son a friend of our palace master?" Mei Xin asked back, taking it for granted.
Qin Yue fell silent for a moment.
Friends, does Mei Ruoshui think so?However, for him, friend is such a distant word...
Even Bailiqing feels more like a relative.
"Is Mr. Liu there?" Suddenly, there was a familiar voice in the yard. It seemed to be Mu Qiubai's little attendant, because he was in the same carriage when he entered Qin Dynasty, so he still had some impressions.
"What's wrong?" Mei Xin opened the door and poked her head out.
"My wife has invited Mr. Liu, isn't it convenient now?" the little attendant outside the door said crisply.
"This..." Mei Xin hesitated for a moment, then turned around.
"I'll go right away." Qin Yue nodded and stood up.
"Young master, please." The little attendant said.
"Mei Xin, you don't have to follow." Qin Yue said lightly, gathered the cloak around her body, and followed behind the little attendant.
Tonight's Mu Mansion seemed to be extremely quiet, and there was no one in sight along the way.
"My lord, this is here, please go in by yourself." The little attendant stopped at the door of the study and bowed.
Qin Yue nodded indifferently. Since she was waiting on a special trip, she naturally pushed the door open without pretending to be polite.
"Sir, please sit down." Mu Qiubai raised his head from behind the desk and smiled gently.
Qin Yue closed the door with her backhand, and stepped forward generously.
A brazier was burning in the corner of the study, warm as spring.
Qin Yue directly took off the cloak, put it on the shelf, and showed the two swords around her waist without hesitation.
"Please." Mu Qiubai poured the tea himself, and pushed a cup over.
"Thank you." Qin Yue thanked, but obviously did not intend to touch the teacup.
"You are very careful." Mu Qiubai nodded, as if evaluating him, and after a long time, he said directly, "Last night, something happened outside the city."
"I know." Qin Yue said bluntly, "I did it, what is Master Mu going to do?"
"I've already resigned, but I can't afford to be called 'Master'." Mu Qiubai smiled wryly, and then said, "This morning, the prefect came here, although he didn't say anything directly, but your current situation is very serious. it is good."
Hearing this, Qin Yue's icy expression softened a little. He understood that since Mu Qiubai chose to talk openly, there was no malice.
"I know your identity is definitely not simple, and I don't mean to delve into it." Mu Qiubai continued, "If there is a need, and within your ability, please ask the young master to do it."
Qin Yue was startled, then smiled lightly and said, "Master Mu really has no intention of fighting?"
This time it was Mu Qiubai's turn to stop talking, and after a long time, she finally said bitterly: "Why would you not want to fight? If Hong'er can have half your shrewd ability, even for her future, I would be willing to take a gamble. Just look With her appearance, I am afraid that if I climb too high, I will harm her instead. Maybe being such an ordinary commoner can make her less dangerous."
Hearing such words, Qin Yue was also very surprised.
