C262 Gold hairpin and mutual request (1/2)

”Since you are someone close to me, I must protect you. However, Yun'er, if there is truly hatred in your heart, and if you are still concerned about your freedom, then you can't be protected by me. ” Mu Ru Yue looked at Yun'er as she said that, deep in thought.

When Yun'er heard this, she wiped the tears off her face and said, ”This servant understands.”

”In the future …” I will bring you away from him. In that case, you will only follow me. ” Mu Ru Yue replied. Yun'er's eyes lit up when she heard this. She kowtowed towards Mu Ru Yue and said, ”Yes, this servant will not disappoint you!”

”Alright, get up. I'm starving. Hurry up and get something to eat from the kitchen.” Mu Ru Yue said to Yun'er with a smile. Yun'er quickly got up and headed for the kitchen. After Yun'er left, the smile on Mu Ru Yue's face also disappeared.

There was a slight sigh in his voice as he said, ”Chen Qing, you can come out now.”

As the words left his mouth, he saw a man floating down from a white tree amidst the shadows of the trees. He sat on the stone bench, and his handsome face had a slight smile on it. He was playing with a delicate golden hairpin inlaid with jade when he said, ”Today, I've helped Princess Hua-Yang greatly.”

”This is the empress dowager's golden hairpin?” Mu Ru Yue looked at the golden hairpin and walked forward, wanting to take it back, but Chen Qing dodged his attempt. This made Mu Ru Yue frown. ”What does that mean?”

”I helped Princess Hua-Yang, so this golden hairpin will be my reward.” A natural expression appeared on his calm and handsome face. There was no trace of a joke in those starry eyes. Naturally, Mu Ru Yue didn't take the golden hairpin as well.

The relationship between her and Chen Qing had never been one that they owed each other.

Chen Qing had saved her, and he had taken away the golden hairpin. Now that they were even, there was nothing bad about it.

”The golden hairpin belongs to you, but …” What is the value of this golden hairpin? ” Mu Ru Yue asked, puzzled. Chen Qing smiled when he heard this. He touched the golden hairpin and placed his hand on the jade, taking it off immediately. He weighed it and said, ”I have seen this jade before on a mission. ”It's useful to me, but useless to the princess.”

”Since that's the case, there's no need to say more. ”But, this golden hairpin, which room did you get it from?” Mu Ru Yue asked seriously.

”From the Princess's house. It seems like those people want to frame us and also want to find something in Princess Hua-Yang's room. ” Chen Qing answered Mu Ru Yue's question directly. When Mu Ru Yue heard this, she immediately understood.

If he were to say that he suspected her, it would most likely arouse Feng Zhi's displeasure and cause a stern investigation. It could be seen that what they had done was not worth considering. Thus, they chose Yun'er. He only wanted to use Yun'er's matter to come to her room and search for something.

”Young Master, have you come to my place today? What's the purpose of this account book?” Since Mu Ru Yue knew they were looking for her things, she heaved a sigh of relief. After all, those people will come back sooner or later if they want to know the truth. He just needed to wait patiently. Thus, he turned around and asked about the matter of the investigation.

Lifting up the account book, a bitter smile appeared on his face, ”To be honest, those people are really shrewd. Up till now, I've only checked the surface. As for the other things, I have no way of knowing. ”

”Then Young Master is coming today?”

”I have something to ask of you.” Chen Qing said.

”A favor?” Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but be stunned.

Chen Qing took out a brocade box from his chest pocket. ”Inside this box is the empress's reward. As long as the wangfei... Bring what I want. ”

”What is it?” Mu Ru Yue opened the embroidered box with some reason. However, when she saw what was inside, she became excited. She looked at Chen Qing in disbelief. ”How did you know I wanted this?”

”This is my personal secret. As long as you fulfill my request, I will hand it over to you. ” Chen Qing said.

Mu Ru Yue's hand that was holding onto the embroidered box trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After a long while, she opened her eyes again and solemnly said, ”Tell me about it.”

”It will soon be the Mu Yun Tower's auction. The auction would definitely see the appearance of the Heaven's Incense. At that time, it would attract the people from the Medicine Valley. I want to ask the young master of the Pill King Valley to help me save a person. No matter what you do. ”

That was what Chen Changsheng said.
