Chapter 240 They all like to hide men in the palace
"That's it."
Zhai Rongyu withdrew her gaze and looked at Jiang Jiusheng, whose image was gradually fading. Zhai Rongyu anxiously reached out to grab her, "Mother!"
"Xiao Yu, I have to go." Jiang Jiusheng's eyes were still gentle, but there was a hint of reluctance in them.
She instructed, "The power of the Wu family's restrictions should not be underestimated. Only something with immense power can break through its core. You can try using the underwater sinking star."
"This is the last thing your mother can do for you."
"Good boy, take good care of yourself."
As soon as the words were spoken, the image vanished.
Zhai Rongyu stood there stunned for a long time.
Looking at the objects in the sunken star at the bottom of the water, her heart ached with mixed feelings of sorrow and turmoil.
……
Helian Kuangmo pushed open the gate of Chenxing Palace.
Yun Gu was sweeping inside when she saw the visitor and immediately knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty."
"Where is she?" he asked in a menacing tone.
Yun Gu knelt down, cold sweat beading on her forehead. "Your Majesty, the young lady has already fallen asleep."
The young lady has not returned yet...
She glanced nervously at the court boots in front of her.
"Asleep?" Helian Kuangmo narrowed his eyes suspiciously and strode towards the inner room.
Upon seeing this, Yun Gu immediately crawled on her knees to block his path, kowtowing hastily: "Your Majesty! She is Miss Jiang's daughter."
Since they had already gone to bed, it would be unreasonable for them to go back in.
Helian Kuangmo paused, then slowly lowered his body and said, word by word, "You are indeed a loyal dog."
His pronunciation was extremely clear, yet his casual words sent a chill down one's spine for no apparent reason.
He straightened up, adopting a disdainful posture.
"However, you seem to have forgotten who the real master is in this palace!"
"Your Majesty!" Yun Gu hurriedly looked up, met his gaze, and was suddenly startled. She immediately lowered her head. "If Miss Jiang could know this in the afterlife..."
"Are your eyes better?"
Helian Kuangmo interrupted her, his tone chilling.
Who treated him?
Yun Gu felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet and spread up her spine.
"Yes Yes……"
“I prefer to have able-bodied people serving me,” Zhai Rongyu said, walking out of the inner room with an outer robe on her shoulders. She gave Helian Kuangmo a cold look, as if she had been woken up. “What, do you have a problem with that?”
"Young Miss!" When Yun Gu saw her, she was both surprised and delighted, but she didn't show it on her face.
Seeing that she was still in Chenxing Palace, Helian Kuangmo's suspicions gradually dissipated.
It seems that the matter of the Nine Nether Dragon Pattern Lock was indeed due to the negligence of the servants.
He was overthinking it.
He glanced at Zhai Rongyu, laughed heartily, and said to Yun Gu, "Since the master of Chenxing Palace has both eyes, I will forgive you for your crime of treating eyes."
"Get up."
"This servant thanks Your Majesty."
Yun Gu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got up.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep." Zhai Rongyu said with a hint of displeasure on her face.
Helian Kuangmo remembered that he had promised to treat her like his daughter, so he smiled gently and said, "I just came to see if you are sleeping well, in case you are not used to sleeping in a new bed."
"Since you are alright, I will head back now."
"Think carefully about what I said today. I will come to see you again tomorrow."
"Take care, I won't see you off," Zhai Rongyu said coldly.
Helian Kuangmo slightly curled the corners of his lips, but his eyes were cold and unpredictable, devoid of any smile.
He turned and left the Chenxing Palace.
Zhai Rongyu entered the inner room, leaned against the door, and looked at Jun Ce, who was still lying on the bed.
Yun Gu followed her in, her face filled with shock. "Young Miss, what is this?!"
“My fiancé,” Zhai Rongyu said calmly.
[Ah Xu has just been pulled out of the underwater sinking star; it will probably be a while before she wakes up.]
Fortunately, time can be slowed down within this underwater sinking star; an hour inside is equivalent to an incense stick burning outside.
Otherwise, Helian Kuangmo might really discover something amiss.
She walked to the bedside, pouted, and reached out to poke Jun Ce's disguised face.
[This dragon-like nature of theirs may be revealed again under any circumstances.]
[Does that mean I should follow him around every day?]
She didn't want to be a little follower.
Yun Gu looked at Jun Ce in surprise, then glanced cautiously at Zhai Rongyu.
This young lady's taste in men is...
Compared to Miss Jiang, she's really far inferior...
However, she is just as bold as her mother.
They all liked to hide men in the palace.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the window, as if someone was opening the window.
Zhai Rongyu glanced out the window and pinched the bridge of her nose.
There seems to be a constant stream of troublemakers.
[Ever since I arrived in Nansang, I haven't had a good night's sleep.]
[This is truly incompatible with the local climate.]
Zhai Rongyu gave Yun Gu a look, and seeing that there was some surprise on her face but not much, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
It seems that her mother did quite a few outrageous things when she was alive.
Otherwise, Yun Gu wouldn't be so calm.
Yun Gu understood, walked to the window, and suddenly pulled it open!
"Young master?" she asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"Still lying outside like a toad?"
The witch priest who tried to climb through the window: ...
He calmly withdrew his foot, stood by the window, and coughed lightly, "Where is Zhai Rong and that vixen?!"
Yun Gu's face darkened. "Young Miss is not a witch."
Wu Muli ignored her, his gaze sweeping past Yun Gu to the bed, where he saw Zhai Rongyu sitting on the edge of the bed, watching him leisurely.
Upon seeing Jun Ce, he was suddenly enraged.
"How can you be so indiscriminate in your eating!"
"Even if you've taken a fancy to my follower, you can't just knock him out and bring him back like this!" Wu Muli raised his voice to cover up his embarrassment at being captured.
No wonder my father said he couldn't find him.
I initially thought this person was a ghost, but it turns out he was just being targeted by this enchantress.
"You've acted this way, showing absolutely no respect for the Wu family! How dare you!"
"Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Wu family!"
Wu Muli seemed quite satisfied with the reason he had found. He turned and went into the house, pushed Yun Gu aside, and took out his short flute to play.
Zhai Rongyu pulled a stone from her bag and threw it onto the table with a thud.
"What is this?" Wu Muli asked.
"Just keep bragging, why all the fuss?" Zhai Rongyu picked at his ear.
Wu Muli sneered, "My demonic sound can penetrate everything! You dare to use a mere broken stone to deal with me?"
"Moreover, this is within the Wu family's restricted area."
"No matter how skilled you are, you can't use it!"
"You're so annoying." Zhai Rongyu leaned against the couch, flicking her ribbons with some dissatisfaction. "Does Helian Tanyao know how long-winded you are?"
"If you wake my man up, are you going to be responsible for soothing him?"
Wu Muli was furious. "Witch! How dare you mention the princess!"
"I have come here to avenge the princess!"
"Just obediently prepare to die!"
He played his flute, and a magical sound suddenly arose, but it was all absorbed by the ordinary-looking stone on the table.
Wu Muli's expression changed drastically. "How is this possible?!"
"What kind of stone is this?!"
Zhai Rongyu picked at her ear. "Oh, it's just a sound-absorbing stone."
This is a treasure she found from a sunken star at the bottom of the water—a stone that can absorb musical sounds.
She brought him out specifically to deal with that scoundrel, Wu Muli.
