Chapter 401

"This one is afraid of losing you!" Mo Chuan placed his chin on her head and said with a firm expression, "You will stay in the palace in the future and stay by this one's side. This one will protect you and will never let you be injured again! No matter how brave Chu Shao Yang is, he wouldn't dare to mess around with you in the palace! "

"Stay in the palace?" Chen Ning looked around and revealed a gentle smile, "How is this place different from Chu Shao Yang's palace? It's all made of fine gold wire cages. What, do you want to keep me like a canary?"

"This one would rather lock you up like a canary in a cage than let that leopard cat Chu Shao Yang eat you!" Mo Chuan stared at her. Mo Chuan looked at her.

This girl, he was willing to risk the world and offend Empress Dowager Zhou to save her, but she didn't appreciate it at all.

"Reporting to the emperor, the hot water has been prepared." A maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Alright!" Mo Chuan picked her up and walked out the door with large steps.

"Hey, put me down. I can walk on my own." Chen Ning's face turned a little red. Was he going to carry her to take a bath?

"This one won't let you go."

Mo Chuan carried her into the bathroom. The room was warm and steam rose up. Behind the screen was a large bathtub with towels and women's clothes on the side, even underwear and towels were prepared.

Beside the bathtub, there were four maids standing there with their hands in their hands.

Seeing this, Chen Ning's face turned even redder.

"Mo Chuan, tell them to leave. I'll bathe myself."

She was not used to bathing in front of outsiders. Normally when she was bathing, even Xiao Ru was sent outside to guard the door.

"Everyone leave." Mo Chuan ordered.

After the maids left, Mo Chuan put her down. He calmly said, "Alright, there are no outsiders, you can bathe."

Chen Ning did not move at all.

"Why do you want me to bathe?" Her face was pale as she stared at him. Her eyes were especially dark, "Do you think I'm dirty after being touched by him?"

Mo Chuan couldn't help knitting his brows. He looked at her in a good and funny manner.

What was going on in this lass's head?

"This one doesn't care. Even if you really are ….. This one doesn't care. You will always be clean in my heart." He seriously replied.

"But I didn't! He didn't succeed at all! "She bit her lips.

"This one knows! "Silly girl, do you want to keep wearing the imperial army's clothes like this? Oh, the sour smell of sweat on it almost made me vomit. But if you don't mind, I don't mind either. "He made a gesture to hug her.

Chen Ning took a few steps back. She couldn't help stomping her feet as she looked at him in anger.

She really wanted to take a bath. Chu Shao Yang's touch made her feel dirty.

"Then, you should also leave." Chen Ning rolled her eyes at him. He was an emperor and a man at that, yet he wanted to see her bathe?

"This one." Mo Chuan said with a calm expression, "You can be assured, this one definitely won't peek. I'll turn around and there's a screen between us, can you be assured like this?"

Chen of Chen. He didn 'Chen of Ning of of.

"… …" Chen Ning speechlessly stared at him, but with him here, she did feel safe.

Even if he didn't say a single word, as long as she could see his tall figure through the screen, her heart would fill with a sweet feeling.

Soaking in the warm water, she comfortably let out a long sigh. The scene in the carriage was like a nightmare, suddenly so far away from her.
