Chapter 170: Planning for a retreat
Her head was so hot that it was about to explode. Later, after a few stings on her wrist, she obviously felt much better. Then an old lady came in to serve her and she woke up. Just now, Mu Xiuji stepped in and sat down on the edge of the bed, and Chen Yuntang knew it.
But Mu Xiuji accidentally discovered her identity because of the menstrual period, which made her embarrassed and difficult to face him, so she kept pretending to be asleep. When she just realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Chen Yuntang then opened her eyes with a tough forehead.
This was the first time she faced the people around her as a woman. She had been a Marquis of Yongxing for so long. Such a change was really awkward.
As soon as he opened his eyes, his eyes were so panicked that he didn't know where to put them. Finally, he could only say, "Mr. Mu, thank you so much today."
Mu Xiuji stretched out half of his hand, and when he found Chen Yuntang's eyes opened, he froze in the air. When he came to his senses, he immediately took his hand back and held it tightly in his sleeve.
When he was embarrassed, when he heard Chen Yuntang say this, his brows that had been stretched for a while became slightly furrowed again.
She actually called him "Mr. Mu". Even if she was a woman, she was still Yongxing Hou. Why did she get so far after waking up from a coma?
Mu Xiuji pursed his lips, "Yuntang, I am still your elder brother Mu. Do you think I will become unfamiliar with you because I know your identity?"
"No...not that..."
"Since that's the case, then we will be the same as before." Mu Xiuji subconsciously didn't like Chen Yuntang to stretch the relationship between the two too widespread.
"Okay, Brother Mu is my savior now, and I'm all listening to you now." Chen Yuntang finally showed a relaxed smile on his face.
Mu Xiuji looked at her, "It's all like this, and he still calls himself a little brother!"
Chen Yuntang quickly changed his words, "I've heard from Brother Mu."
Mu Xiuji saw that there was a smile on her face, and his mood improved a lot.
He paused and asked, "Yuntang, why are you..." But halfway through his words, he still didn't know how to continue, so he was still halfway.
The secret was known, but Chen Yuntang was more relaxed at this moment.
She smiled and said, "How could I be a woman?"
Mu Xiuji nodded.
When she woke up, she found that the old lady had changed her clothes. With the strangeness on her body, she realized that she was a woman and was discovered.
Fortunately, the person I discovered was Mu Xiuji, not the arrogant and domineering regent.
While feeling relieved, I felt even more guilty towards Mu Xiuji. Judging from her current appearance, she seemed to have been placed with care.
"Brother Mu, you know the situation in the Hou Mansion. Even if this person is not me, he will be my sister. Now I think about it, fortunately my grandfather and father chose me so that the sisters can live a peaceful life."
When Mu Xiuji heard Chen Yuntang's words, he fell silent. Indeed, the Yongxing Marquis Mansion really needed someone to stand up, either her or her sister.
She held the beam and naturally protected her sisters.
But when I think of the thin Chen Yuntang receiving men-like teachings since I was a child, she is obviously a girl, but she has to suffer so much. She can't tell anyone about these sufferings, and she can only swallow them.
A feeling of distress and love overflowed from the bottom of my heart.
He couldn't help but comfort Chen Yuntang, "Yuntang, don't worry, I will never tell anyone about your identity."
Chen Yuntang raised his lips and his eyes were bright, "Brother Mu, I believe in you!"
But everything has to leave a way out for herself. Although Chen Yuntang does believe in Mu Xiuji, she cannot really put the life of the entire Marquis' mansion on him.
When she returns home, she will slowly plan a way out for the people in the palace.
Even without Mu Xiuji, she still had to do this. The Regent was chasing him harder and tighter. She had not forgotten to be in the corridor outside the Hall of Wanmin. She offended the Regent without any effort to offend him. Even if the Yongxing Marquis Mansion has a powerful position, she would be suppressed. The future will definitely not be very easy. It is a good thing to plan a future as soon as possible.
Instead, she didn't want to wear men's clothes all her life, and really regarded herself as a man and lived in this world.
After she planned a retreat and left her family, she wanted to change her daughter's clothes, find an honest man to marry, and live her own life.
Seeing Chen Yuntang with such sincere eyes and getting her affirmation, Mu Xiuji felt happy and comfortable.
"Is it still burning now?"
Chen Yuntang shook her head. The old doctor had good medical skills. After a few injections, her high fever quickly subsided. She should still have a low fever now. It was much better than before. She could withstand this low fever.
"In a while, the mute nanny will bring you medicine and food. Yuntang, you can rest here. This is my private yard. No one knows it. Please stay there for now. I have sent someone to notify you."
Chen Yuntang didn't expect that Mu Xiuji had arranged so well that the care the nanny she found for her was mute and could not speak. She also sent someone to inform the Yongxing Marquis Mansion. She was even more grateful to him, and at the same time, she quietly became more cautious.
However, Chen Yuntang himself didn't notice this kind of defense now.
"Then I'll have Brother Mu."
"Your fever has just subsided, so it's not advisable to waste your energy. Sleep a little longer. I'll go out to help you see if the medicine is cured."
Chen Yuntang obediently shrank into the quilt, tucked the quilt, and covered the quilt all the way to his nose, revealing only two transparent peach blossom eyes. When he blinked, he looked like a soft white rabbit, making people unable to help but want to reach out and rude.
Mu Xiuji controlled his eyes and forced himself to turn around and leave the inner room of the bedroom.
But before he could take two steps, someone called him outside, "Young master, no, there is a guard entering the nearby alley."
Mu Xiuji:...
His face darkened, and at the same time he felt a burning face.
He just promised Chen Yuntang that this was his private villa and that no one knew that she could recover from her wounds with peace of mind. The next moment, the guards arrived nearby.
Who else can be assigned to the guards in the palace? Who else can be regent after the regent? Chen Yuntang must not be allowed to stay here.
He calmly answered his subordinates, "I know, send someone to stare. If they find our yard, come and report it."
"Yes, young master." The person who came to report quickly walked out of the outside room.
Mu Xiuji did not avoid Chen Yuntang's conversation just now. She was lying inside and listened to all this in her ears.
Chen Yuntang was immediately angry and felt that the Regent was like a candy that he could not get rid of, and he was really annoying.
However, no matter how angry he is, Chen Yuntang still remains rational.
