Peerless Evil Consort - C49

Seeing that Mu Ru Yue had been carried off, and that her back was covered in blood, Xing’er burst into tears again. “Miss, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry Miss, I should stay behind to accompany you.”

When Mu Ru Yue heard Xing’er cry, she felt a headache.

“It was Xing’er who returned to her house to tell me about the bandits.” Feng Qing chuckled when he saw Mu Ru Yue’s expression. When Mu Ru Yue heard that, the barrier in her heart disappeared. He helplessly looked at the little girl who was crying happily. “Alright, stop crying. If you stay with me, only a couple will die. “Go back and bring him back, you did very well.” Mu Ru Yue jumped down from Feng Qing’s embrace as she spoke.

The whip wound was no longer painful. Although the wound was rather frightening, it did not actually injure the bones and muscles. But… What the young man said at that time caused her to take it to heart. However, he couldn’t be sure now that what he said was true.

Rubbing Xing’er’s head, Mu Ru Yue said warmly, “Xing’er, don’t cry anymore.”

“But Miss …” Xing’er sobbed.

“You didn’t do anything wrong. But how did you escape? ” When Mu Ru Yue thought about that scene, she was slightly surprised.

As she said this, Xing’er felt a bit awkward. She looked at Mu Ru Yue and said, “After this servant and miss left, I helplessly squatted at the door and cried. A little Shamei said that this servant should wait at the main hall. The servant did not believe him, and continued to squat at the door and cry. Little Shamei then found a remote place for me to stay. “Later on, the bandits came, and this servant crouched there not daring to come out. After these bandits went in, she ran back to the carriage and fled back to the mansion to report to the prince.”

These words from Xing’er made the corner of Mu Ru Yue’s mouth twitch. It was Xing`er’s cowardice that saved her.

It had to be said that it was all thanks to Xing’er this time. If it weren’t for Xing’er, Feng Chen wouldn’t have arrived so quickly. If she was really done by those people… Mu Ru Yue’s expression darkened. Even she didn’t know what she was going to do.

Therefore, when she looked at Xing’er, Mu Ru Yue’s expression was extremely gentle. “Xing’er, thank you so much for this matter.”

“Miss and this servant still want to thank you?” Xing’er smiled through her tears as she asked. Mu Ru Yue didn’t say anything and just rubbed her head. She didn’t know why this little girl was thanking her.

“You rest here.” Feng Chen carried Mu Ru Yue to the carriage and after saying that, they headed back to the temple. By the time he descended, it was already an hour later. There was even more blood on his body, and the soldiers following behind him had brought a group of victims down.

At this moment, the people from the military department arrived extremely fast, so fast that even Feng Qing was surprised. However, Feng Chen didn’t mention that Mu Ru Yue was here too. After all, words were to be feared.

Among these people, the majority of the victims were women. Some of the women had been tainted with their chastity, so when they returned, they would definitely be scolded by others. If the Royal Concubine were to be present at this time, then all the rumors would have landed solely on Mu Ru Yue.

These girls might be saved, but Mu Ru Yue would be humiliated by everyone. Feng Chen was selfish. He didn’t want to save anyone, he just wanted to protect the one he cared about. Although Mu Ru Yue wasn’t a bad person, she wasn’t a good person either.

It was a pity that this woman had been tainted with innocence. However, she was not a Bodhisattva. She could not take on all living things. She did not want to be caught in public opinion. If the families of those girls felt sorry for them, then perhaps they themselves would be tougher. Then the so-called rumors naturally wouldn’t have any effect.

If even they themselves did not have the courage to live? And why should she sacrifice her reputation to save a bunch of cowards?

That was why Mu Ru Yue lay peacefully in the carriage. Xing’er didn’t say a word, as if she was afraid of being discovered. After all the people had been arranged, Feng Chen drove away.

They had not gone far when a carriage passed them. Phoenix Seep’s gaze landed on the carriage with a bit of surprise. The Crown Prince’s carriage? He was actually paying attention to such things? Perhaps, it was as the Nan brothers said, the Crown Prince did not want to give his place to anyone.

When they were far away, the Crown Prince’s carriage arrived at the Temple of Huanglin.

The reason why the people from the military were here so quickly was because of his orders.
