Chapter 1542: Chapter 1537: Rong Yun is Waiting for the Royal Child

Madam Rong Yun couldn’t possibly be so clear-headed!

She clung tenaciously to that belief, Qin Muyan doted on her, kept his promises. He said he would come back tonight, so he must certainly come back!

She still remembers now, his breath burning hot as he whispered in her ear, “Jingjing, tonight, I will definitely make you satisfied.”

That fire-like intense and scalding breath, along with the desire in his eyes, she understood, felt it, and also made a promise with him.

She believed that no matter what, he would not let her down!

Nanny Yan looked at Rong Yun whose eyes were red, and feared that no matter what she said, Rong Yun would not believe her at the moment. She had to let Rong Yun stay alone in the room while she hurriedly arranged some matters.

They had been negligent about tonight’s affair; they hadn’t expected the people around Qin Muyan to be talkative and leak information. The inner court of the prince’s mansion was still on shallow grounds for Rong Yun. They must establish connections and status in the Great Wei Dynasty capital that could secure their footing.

She submitted a visiting card to the palace, wishing to meet the empress.

Although Qin Muyan had come to the Li’s Duke Mansion, he still had Rong Yun on his mind. After lunch, he wanted to leave, but Li Bo held him back, mentioning some political affairs. As the discussion turned to military and politics, Qin Muyan couldn’t help but become much more serious. Li Bo was talking about the military affairs of the southwest, which he had been recently tightening up.

After he finished an extensive conversation with Li Bo and learned a lot of information, his heart had even more of a plan. But when he glanced out the window, twilight had already fallen.

He hurriedly put down his tea cup and got up, “Lord Li, Your Highness still has important matters and must return to the mansion first. These matters, we will discuss them again at the imperial study with Imperial Brother early tomorrow morning.”

“Your Highness, there is still a government report here that I would like to present to Your Highness for detailed examination,” Li Bo picked up a government report he had written a few days earlier from the desk and handed it to Qin Muyan.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Muyan glanced at the report briefly and said, “Tonight, Your Highness will take it back for review, and discuss the details with Lord Li tomorrow.”

“Your Highness, please wait!”

Qin Muyan had already taken a few steps to leave but was still stopped by Li Bo. He kept entangling Qin Muyan with several more sentences. Qin Muyan, however, kept walking and talking, his steps showing no sign of stopping.

“Your Highness.”

Just as he walked out of Li Bo’s study, Li Yunshu wore a lake blue long dress, her bearing heroic as she approached. She hooked her arm around Qin Muyan’s, “Your Highness, are you hungry? The banquet is still being prepared, please wait a moment for Your Highness and try some pastries made by me personally.”

With a wave of her hand, Chun Xing brought over two plates of exquisite pastry still steaming hot in front of Qin Muyan.

Seeing this, Li Bo laughed and stroked his beard, “The secondary consort while at home never entered the kitchen, now, her culinary skills have become this good, really, it’s all thanks to Your Highness’s good teaching.”

He said as he invited Qin Muyan to taste the pastries.

Qin Muyan was anxious to leave but couldn’t decline this courtesy, he picked up a piece and gulped it down, “Delicious! Secondary consort, Your Highness has pressing matters today; if you miss your family, feel free to rest at home. Tomorrow return to the prince’s mansion, Your Highness will take leave first.”

He was really anxious, not waiting for Li Yunshu to hold him, he pushed away Li Yunshu and walked towards the outside.

“Your Highness!”

“Your Highness!”

Li Bo and Li Yunshu called after him from behind, failing to keep him from leaving.

Qin Muyan was about to reach the door when he encountered Qin Ge.

Qin Ge nearly got knocked over by him, got a fright, “Mu Yan, what’s the matter with you? Acting so recklessly.”

“Mother! Is mother alright?”

Qin Muyan’s forehead was covered in sweat, his eyes filled with an apologetic look, “It was my fault for not watching where I was going, but I have urgent matters to attend to and cannot keep madam company any longer. I shall ask for madam’s forgiveness another day.”

Qin Muyan watched the setting sun, the sky already beginning to darken.

He had ridden back to the prince’s mansion from the residence of the Marquis of Li at full speed, and it still required the time of an incense stick to reach. He was bound to miss the time for dinner.

That little rascal Rong Yun would definitely not eat first, she must be waiting with an empty stomach for him.

Just the thought of her being hungry was enough to make him feel an unbearable ache in his heart.

“Are you in such a hurry because the prince’s mansion is on fire? Mu Yan, you’re not usually like this, what’s made you so reckless today at the residence of the Marquis?” Qin Ge, unaware of the situation, was particularly dissatisfied with Qin Muyan’s behavior today.

“Madam!” Qin Muyan took a deep breath, “I really must hurry back! At home, Jingjing is waiting for me to have dinner with her!”

“Jingjing? Who is that?” Qin Ge asked, a look of confusion on her face.

“Rong Yun, her child name is Jingjing. She likes it when Your Highness calls her that,” Qin Muyan said, a gentle tenderness unconsciously spilling from the corners of his eyes and brows.

Qin Ge was taken aback to see it!

“Are you that anxious? Do you like her that much?” Qin Ge asked, pursing her lips.

She was originally brought in by Li Yunshu to lend a hand, but seeing Qin Muyan so agitated, she began to waver.

Qin Muyan nodded, “Madam, I don’t want to see Jingjing disappointed, even if it’s just a matter of missing one dinner.”

A man’s love for a woman begins with his cherishing of every little detail about her.

Seeing him so anxious reminded Qin Ge of her late husband, who cherished her in the same way.

She decided not to stop Qin Muyan and let him return to the prince’s mansion.

However, a shrill scream came from the residence of the Marquis. Chun Xing ran out in a hurry, “Eldest Princess, Your Highness, it’s terrible! Madam… Madam has been injured!”

“What happened to Second Brother’s wife?” Qin Ge lifted her skirt hem and hurried into the residence of the Marquis.

Seeing the situation, Qin Muyan couldn’t just leave either. He looked at the increasingly darkening sky, gritted his teeth in anger, and followed Qin Ge back into the residence of the Marquis.

Inside the residence of the Marquis, Li Yunshu’s mother, Madam Li, had personally cooked to give Qin Muyan a good treat and got scalded by boiling oil, leading to her left hand swelled and peeled, covered with blisters, the injury was severe.

The court physician was startled into coming over.

Qin Muyan rode swiftly into the palace and brought back two court physicians for Madam Li’s treatment.

Unfortunately, Madam Li was already in poor health, and now with this burn, she suffered multiple complications. The court physicians treated her for a long time. It wasn’t until nighttime that she finally regained consciousness.

Qin Muyan accompanied Qin Ge, waiting outside Madam Li’s room.

Inside the room, there was the worried sigh of Li Bo, and the continuous sound of Li Yunshu wiping away her tears, “Mother, it’s all my fault, my foolish talk about wanting to learn cooking to please Your Highness has caused you to suffer such agony. I am an unfilial daughter! It’s all my fault!”

Li Yunshu cried sorrowfully, and Qin Muyan felt compelled to go in and console her, “Don’t cry. As a secondary consort, you needn’t do these things to win Your Highness’ favor; Your Highness will treat you well all the same.”

“But… but I have made a mistake, and I disrespected the Princess. I only wish to have a skill that would make Your Highness visit me more often and forgive my brashness,” Li Yunshu leaned into Qin Muyan’s embrace, crying heartbreakingly.

Qin Muyan was frustrated and anxious, torn between his thoughts for Rong Yun and finding words to comfort Li Yunshu, which made him extremely agitated.
