"Is Senior Brother trying to hide it, or do you really not know?"
"Since you want to know, why don't you ask His Highness yourself?"
Ruyi's voice was heard. "Consort, Sir, His Highness is awake."
"His Highness is awake!" Murong Qiqi's heart leaped with joy when she heard the news. This was the best news she had heard so far. She ran towards Feng Cang and said to Jin Mo, "Please help me hide my identity, Eldest Senior Brother! Thank you! "
Murong Qiqi looked at Feng Cang's dark eyes and was overwhelmed with emotion. She threw herself into Feng Cang's arms. "Feng Cang, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? "
It had to be said that Jin Mo's medical skills were superb. Feng Cang had already returned to his original appearance and was no longer as frightening as before.
He could see Murong Qiqi the moment he opened his eyes and hug her. Feng Cang's uneasy heart calmed down. He had been really worried that Murong Qiqi would leave because of his ugly appearance. He hadn't expected her to be beside him the moment he woke up.
"Qingqing, I'm sorry for making you worry!" Feng Cang hugged Murong Qiqi lightly, his chin rubbing against her hair. "I'm sorry for being so fierce to you and scaring you. I'm sorry!"
"Your Highness, you're being too polite if you apologize to me. It's all my fault today. If I had known that Your Highness was unwell, I wouldn't have asked you to accompany me out and Your Highness wouldn't have suddenly fallen ill. It's all my fault! "Murong Qiqi tucked Feng Cang's hair, her heart aching for him as she caressed his cold face.
"However, the next time you encounter something uncomfortable, you must tell me. You must let me know. Seeing Wangye suffer, but I can't do anything to help. I feel so useless! "
Murong Qiqi's tears fell as she spoke. Murong Qiqi's heart ached at the thought of Feng Cang's suffering. He had been afflicted with the poison for at least ten years and the Fetal Poison had been with him since birth. She really didn't know how he had survived all these years! It must have been tough, really tough!
"Qingqing, are you crying for me?"
Feng Cang could not help but pull Murong Qiqi into his arms again when he saw the crystalline teardrop on her chin.
The reason why he didn't tell Murong Qiqi before was because he didn't want her to worry and leave him. Now that he thought about it, he should abandon all those thoughts. How could his woman have the thoughts of an ordinary woman?
"I won't hide it from you next time. Really, I promise you!"
On the snowy ground, the two lovers confided their love to each other as if no one else were around. Ruyi very sensibly retreated. Jin Mo took a deep look at Murong Qiqi and also retreated to the side.
If he had thought that Murong Qiqi had an ulterior motive for getting close to Feng Cang, he was completely relieved now. Coincidentally, his master had mentioned in his letter that this junior apprentice-sister's medical skills were superb. He should exchange pointers with her and find a way to cure Feng Cang as soon as possible.
However, Jin Mo did not know why Murong Qiqi would hide her identity from Feng Cang. She knew both martial arts and medicine, which was the best thing for Feng Cang. Why would she hide it from him?
In Jin Mo's eyes, Murong Qiqi had become the best candidate to be Feng Cang's wife. If Murong Qiqi knew that Jin Mo hoped for someone who knew medicine to take care of Feng Cang, she would think about Jin Mo's attitude towards Feng Cang.
Jin Mo briefly explained his misunderstanding of Murong Qiqi to Ruyi. In the end, he asked her to 'keep his mouth shut'. He did not want her to tell Feng Cang about the fight and Murong Qiqi's martial arts skills.
"Sir, it's a good thing that the princess knows martial arts. Why don't you let His Highness know?" Ruyi was a straightforward person and did not understand the meaning behind his words. It was impossible for him to hide it from Feng Cang, unless there was a real reason.
"Let the princess be His Highness's knife in the dark …"
Jin Mo's words were simple, but Ruyi understood it immediately. So that was the reason! The princess purposely hid her martial arts skills to protect His Highness! Although they were His Highness's personal guards, there would always be times when they were careless. When the time came, the princess would not have to worry!
When Feng Cang and the rest returned to the carriages, Su Mei and Suyue immediately came up to them. "Miss, are you alright? Where did you go? You took so long, we were so worried! "
"I'm fine."
Before Murong Qiqi could finish her words, Wanyan Baozhu rushed over. "Brother Cang, where did you go?"
Seeing Wanyan Baozhu's worried face and Mu Yudie following behind her, Murong Qiqi purposely snuggled into Feng Cang's embrace. "His Highness, in the future, you have to take me out to relax! It's so uncomfortable being cooped up in the carriage every day. It's better to go out and have some alone time! "
Hearing that Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi went out on a 'date' alone, Wanyan Baozhu and Mu Yudie's faces immediately changed.
This Murong Qiqi had been pestering Feng Cang's carriage every day. Now that she went out with him, she really did not know what 'shame' was.
At that moment, Mu Yudie opened her mouth to make things difficult for Murong Qiqi. "Sunshine Princess, you and His Highness are not married yet. As the saying goes, men and women should not touch each other. Princess, please conduct yourself with dignity."
"Conduct myself?" Murong Qiqi looked as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. She looked at Mu Yudie with eyes full of ridicule. "In any case, His Highness and I are engaged. It's normal for a man and a woman to develop feelings before marriage. Miss Mu, you do know how to conduct yourself, but why do you always go to His Highness's side! "
"I, I don't!" Hearing Murong Qiqi's words, Mu Yudie's face turned red.
She was not like Wanyan Baozhu, who liked Feng Cang and made it known to everyone. She was low-key and reserved. She silently looked at Feng Cang, hoping that one day, he would turn around and notice her existence. Thus, having her thoughts pointed out by Murong Qiqi, Mu Yudie became angry from embarrassment.
"Tsk tsk!" Seeing Mu Yudie's beautiful face that was as red as a monkey's butt, Murong Qiqi chuckled and leaned her head on Feng Cang's chest.
In any case, these women hated her to death, and they would never be friends. Why should she give them face when they were making things difficult for her?
"Isn't the age limit for female contestants to be 18 years old? If I remember correctly, Miss Mu passed her 20th birthday at the beginning of the year. Hiding her age to participate in the competition, if it was discovered, those who knew would say that Miss Mu admired His Highness and deliberately hid her age to get close to him. Those who didn't know might even say something bad about His Highness! "
