C13 Miss Mu

Yuen Qing presented the flower tea that she had been fiddling with for seven or eight days and stood respectfully to Yu Longchen's left.

"Not bad. There is a fragrance of the flower. It tastes very fresh and unique." Yu Longtang took a sip and praised. Yu Longchen smiled without saying anything. He was very satisfied.

"Pack some for me. I'll give it to your Second Imperial Sister-in-law to taste."

"Yuen Qing, go and pick some good ones."

"Yes." Yuen Qing responded and left.

"I am going to Mo'an Temple to take a look." Yu Longchen put down the teacup and looked at Yu Longtang.

Yu Longtang also put down the teacup, put his hand on the tea table, and said worriedly, "I know what you want to do. It was hard to find a similar face just by looking at it. Although Mu Ruqing grew up in the temple, the Mu family all know how to understand her." Yu Longchen did not say anything and looked at Yu Longtang diagonally.

Yu Longtang shook his head helplessly. "Never mind. I will ask Changxu to prepare." After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and left.

Yuen Qing happily took the wrapped flower tea into the study. "Come with me to Mo'an Temple." Yu Longchen did not give Yuen Qing a chance to speak. After saying that, he walked out.

Yuen Qing was stunned and went out. Mo'an Temple? Isn't that the place where the nun stays? Could it be that he wants me to...

- - -

The Mo'an Temple was led by the yellow and white colors. Its structure was simple, and as soon as one entered, it gave off a refreshing and elegant feeling. Although it was simple, it didn't lose its noble air. There were all kinds of flowers on the roadside of the temple. Yuen Qing had never seen many of them before. She walked forward and touched the flowers one by one. Her eyes were full of curiosity and happiness.

"Am I not as good as these flowers?" Yu Longchen's tone was filled with dissatisfaction, and he was complaining in his heart. He only looked at other things and forgot about me. How many times had it been?

Yuen Qing grinned and said with a flattering face, "How could it be! His Royal Highness has the beauty of a city. His Royal Highness smiled and these flowers lost all color. I see that they are because I have not seen many of them and am curious."

Alright, this explanation was still acceptable. Yu Longchen calmed himself down and patiently told Yuen Qing the names of those flowers.

" Is the prince here to offer incense or to find someone? " The middle-aged nun in grey put her palms together and welcomed him with a smile.

"Looking for someone." Yu Longchen nodded slightly and replied politely. The nun brought the two of them to a courtyard in a special room. "We're here. I'll be leaving first." Yu Longchen bowed slightly to the nun.

Suddenly, he heard a few clangs in the courtyard, as if someone was playing the piano. The sound of the piano kept coming, and it was very elegant. After a while, the originally clear and melodious sound of the guqin slowly became low and melodious. There were sad and sad thoughts in the sound of the guqin. It was as if the zither was recounting the sorrow in his heart.

The two of them slowly walked in, afraid of disturbing the sound of the zither. From afar, there was a blue-clothed woman sitting in a pavilion with a red roof and white pillars. She gave off a refreshing and refined feeling. Yuen Qing was curious. What kind of woman could play such a beautiful tune?

The girl lowered her head and played the guqin. Yu Longchen sat on the stone bench and slightly nodded. servant girl, who was beside the girl, glanced at Yu Longchen and left. Yu Longchen gestured for Yuen Qing to sit down. When the song ended, the woman picked up a pale pink handkerchief, covered her mouth, and coughed a few times. She said leisurely, "May I know why the Royal Highness is looking for this young woman?"

Her voice was crisp and pleasant to the ear, and there was a hint of tiredness in her tone. Yuen Qing only felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy towards this woman. The female took the handkerchief away and Yuen Qing was shocked in her heart as she stared blankly at that female.

That female looked 90% similar to Yuen Qing but there was a trace of vitality between Yuen Qing's brows. That female's lips were pale and her face was gloomy. It was a typical oval face. Her eyes were almost out of water and her nose was straight. She had a kind of sickly beauty, and she looked like she could make anyone feel pity for her.

Yuen Qing was dressed in men's clothing and her face had been specially disguised. Therefore, the woman did not know that Yuen Qing looked very similar to her.

"Why is this little brother staring at me? Don't you know that this is very impolite?" The woman asked with a temperament. Yuen Qing came back to her senses and said with slight uneasiness, "It is my rudeness."

Yu Longchen held Yuen Qing's hand under the table to comfort her. Yuen Qing felt warm in her heart and her mood was not as heavy anymore.

"It has been a long time since I last saw Miss Mu. Her piano skills have not decreased from before." Yu Longchen said with a polite smile.

"It is His Royal Highness who is too kind... Cough cough."

"Miss, the tea is here."

"Put it here, Lingyue. You can leave first."

"Yes." After saying that, Lingyue took the zither and left.

Mu Ruqing poured a cup of tea for Yu Longchen but Yu Longchen pushed the tea in front of Yuen Qing. The two girls were stunned at the same time and saw that he was leisurely saying, "Being used to the tea in the mansion, I feel that the rest is not as fresh as the one in the mansion." Yuen Qing knew that he was talking about flower tea, so she rolled her eyes at him. Today was the first time he drank it. He was the only one who lied and did not draft a script. Yuen Qing didn't say anything. She lifted the teacup and took a sip.

Mu Ruqing saw the interaction between the two and felt her heart palpitate but she only smiled indifferently and did not pursue the matter, "Ruqing's naturally cannot compare to the one in Grandfather Wang's residence."

"How about Miss Mu come in? Is her health good?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity. Ruqing's body is also like this. I'm afraid that she has already run out of oil."

"Miss Mu is still in her youth. Don't say such disheartening words." Yu Longchen slightly raised his eyebrows, but he did not have too much emotion. However, his tone was full of pity. "Miss Mu is a clear-minded person. I think you know why I am looking for you."

"I'm afraid that Ruqing won't be able to help His Royal Highness. I have been out of the mansion since I was a child, and I have no conflict with the world. Now, Ruqing only has the heart but no strength. Eldest Prince has been here many times, but I have already dismissed him. "

"Then the young lady should rest well. I won't disturb you any longer." Yu Longchen politely finished his words and got up to leave. Mu Ruqing bowed and said, "Take care, Your Highness."

Yuen Qing slowly stood up and followed Yu Longchen for a few steps before coming back. She wrapped up the flower tea that she prepared for the evening and handed it to Mu Ruqing and said, "If Miss does not mind, try this tea."

Mu Ruqing also had a close feeling towards Yuen Qing and she also noticed that Yuen Qing was secretly looking at her just now. She took the tea and lightly said, "Thank you."

Yuen Qing smiled as she saw Mu Ruqing take her tea. She quickly followed Yu Longchen. Lingyue, who looked cute, walked over to help Mu Ruqing up. Mu Ruqing opened it and saw the dried flowers and felt that they were fresh. She looked at Yuen Qing's back and said, "Lingyue, soak it and try it."

"Are we leaving just like that? Isn't she a very important person?" Because Yu Longchen and the others rarely avoided Yuen Qing when they talked, Yuen Qing knew a lot about those things.

"What else?" Yu Longchen stopped teasing and looked at Yuen Qing with a smile. "Do you want to torture and interrogate her?"

"... " Your Royal Highness, can you not smile at me like this?"

"Why?"

" Your Royal Highness's outstanding beauty will make me feel ashamed of being inferior to you. " Actually, it will make my heart beat faster, Yuen Qing thought.

"This official greets Your Royal Highness." Unknowingly, a person came in front and bowed to Yu Longchen.

"Imperial Physician Gu, there is no need for formalities. Are you here to diagnose Miss Mu?"

Imperial Physician Gu carried a medicine box on his back and wore an official uniform. He was an old man in his sixties. However, he was very energetic and his eyes were full of vigor. Yuen Qing noticed that this old man was the old man who saved the girl previously. Just as she was about to speak with a surprised expression, Yu Longchen covered her face with one hand.

Imperial Physician Gu stroked his white beard and smiled happily, "Yes, this official will regularly come and diagnose Miss Mu. I wonder what brings the Royal Highness here today?"

"This King is here to visit a patient." Yu Longchen's fierce aura spread out and he said with a serious expression, "I wonder how Miss Mu's condition is?"

When he mentioned Mu Ruqing's condition, Imperial Physician Gu's face revealed a look of pity. He said in a deep voice, "This official has been treating Ruqing since she was young. It can be said that this official watched this child grow up. Her weak body is because she was born prematurely, but this matter is a secret. Her condition is deteriorating every day, and now she is using medicine to keep her life. At most, she could only last until October. When I think about how I can't save her, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. She's such a kind and beautiful girl... "

" Imperial Physician Gu, don't be too sad. It is the law to live, die, and die. "

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for comforting me. If there is nothing else, this official will take his leave."

Yu Longchen nodded. "Why did he tell you all this?" Yuen Qing was a little puzzled.

"He's with me. Do you believe me?"

"I do."
