The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 197 Mu Qingyang's Reply

Li Zeqi folded his hands in front of his chest, a smile on his lips, his eyes full of doting, and followed slowly.

The turning point not far ahead is West Street where the Mu Mansion is located.

Mu Lanfeng stopped, turned around, looked at Li Zeqi, and said softly: "Just send it here!"

Li Zeqi raised his eyebrows, but did not stop. He walked up to Mu Lanfeng with a doting smile, stretched out his hand to help her tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind, and said with a low smile: "Okay! It's all up to you. Go! I will watch you go!"

"Yeah!" Mu Lanfeng smiled and nodded, turned around and walked a few steps, then looked back. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, and finally disappeared from Li Zeqi's sight.

At the gate of the Mu Mansion, the two servants in charge of guarding the gate saw Mu Lanfeng coming back, and hurriedly bowed respectfully and shouted in unison: "Fifth Miss is back!"

"Ok!"

Mu Lanfeng responded expressionlessly and walked straight into the mansion.

As soon as I entered the door, I met Ningshuang beside Ruan Yuner.

Ning Shuang looked anxious, as if she had been waiting here for a long time, "Fifth Miss, I finally saw you!"

Looking at Ning Shuang's expression, Mu Lanfeng asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Ning Shuang bowed slightly and said softly, "Young Madam specifically told me to wait for you here. She also told me to go to Fengqing Pavilion as soon as you come back. She said she has something important to discuss with you."

Mu Lanfeng looked at Ning Shuang and asked, "How is the young master?"

Ning Shuang didn't understand why Mu Lanfeng asked this question. She was stunned for a moment before she replied, "Okay, I've been sleeping very soundly these past few days, and I haven't cried or made a fuss anymore!"

After hearing what Ningshuang said, Mu Lanfeng instantly had an idea in his mind.

I think, if it’s not about Chen’er, then it should be a response from my second brother.

"Let's go!" Mu Lanfeng's eyes flashed with urgency, and he spoke immediately.

Ningshuang, who was standing by, heard the voice and hurriedly stepped aside respectfully, making a gesture of invitation.

Mu Lanfeng lifted her skirt, flicked her sleeves, and walked quickly towards Fengqing Pavilion.

In Fengqing Pavilion, Ruan Yun'er was coaxing the child in her arms softly.

Seeing Mu Lanfeng coming in, she gently raised her hand and handed the child to Ningshuang beside her. She gave her a look, indicating that Ningshuang should quickly take the child away.

Ningshuang understood, and hurriedly and carefully took the child, then turned and walked outside.

The child was probably being coaxed into feeling comfortable, for when he left Ruan Yun'er's arms, he hummed a few times, and his little arms and legs flapped a few times in the air, causing Ruan Yun'er to comfort him softly again.

After Ningshuang's figure completely disappeared at the door, Ruan Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her messy clothes, looked up at Mu Lanfeng, and a serious look appeared on her face.

"Fifth sister, your second brother has replied!" Ruan Yun'er said as she quickly walked to the table, picked up the letter on the table, and handed it to Mu Lanfeng.

Mu Lanfeng took the letter handed to him by Ruan Yun'er and his eyes fell on the letter. The letter was not opened and the seal was still intact.

She couldn't help but be slightly startled, raised her eyes to look at Ruan Yun'er, with a little doubt in her eyes, and asked softly: "Sister-in-law, this letter...didn't you read it?"

Ruan Yun'er nodded, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, and slowly replied: "Your second brother specifically told me that this letter can only be read by you. He said... the less I know about this matter, the better!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Lanfeng hurriedly opened the envelope, opened the letter, and scanned the letter paper eagerly.

Dear sister Lan Feng:

It’s nice to write to you and wish you a happy life.

As you said, I am at the Tianluo border and have noticed many anomalies in recent days. Every night, dark shadows gather and the patrolling soldiers have also suffered several minor attacks.

Such signs may indicate that some forces are secretly plotting, which may put the stability of the border at risk.

Moreover, there seem to be signs that Tianluo and Gumo are forming an alliance. All of the above has been reported to His Majesty in detail.

To prevent any possible disaster, I have strengthened the city's defenses, added defensive fortifications, widened and deepened the moat, and dispatched elite troops to increase patrols to ensure the safety of the border.

However, my sister must not be careless in the mansion. Bring guards with you when you go out, do not act alone, and be careful about everything. If there is anything unusual, tell me immediately or find someone reliable to help.

May the storm subside soon.

Brother: Mu Qingyang

yours truly

Mu Lanfeng read the letter word by word, and his expression became more and more solemn.

She knew very well that what her second brother said was not alarmist at all. To the west, the three countries of Tianluo and Gumo might have already formed an alliance.

Ruan Yun'er, who was standing by, saw that she looked upset and asked softly, "Fifth sister, what did the letter say? But the situation is not good?"

Mu Lanfeng took a deep breath, handed the letter to Ruan Yuner, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, my second brother said that the situation at the border is serious!"

Ruan Yun'er did not reach out to take the letter, but just waved her hand, with a calm expression, and slowly said: "Since your second brother specifically told me not to read this letter, then I won't read it. I am only worried about your second brother's safety at the border at the moment, and I can't care about many other things."

Seeing this, Mu Lanfeng stopped forcing it. He slowly withdrew the hand that had handed him the letter and took the letter back in his own hand.

"Fifth sister, what are you going to do next? Do you need to write back to your second brother?" Ruan Yun'er said with concern. Although her husband had instructed that only Mu Lanfeng could read the letter, she still hoped to be able to help.

Mu Lanfeng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, let me think about this matter carefully. Since my second brother has given such detailed instructions in the letter, I believe that the situation on the border is serious and complicated, and he has already made preparations. Let me think about it again!"

After that, she looked down at the letter in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, take good care of Chen'er. I'm going back first!"

Ruan Yun'er looked at Mu Lanfeng's expression and felt quite worried. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but in the end she swallowed the words back and just nodded silently.

Mu Lanfeng turned around and hurriedly left Fengqing Pavilion.

Along the way, she kept thinking about the contents of her second brother's letter, the unusual movements at the Tianluo border, and possible signs of an alliance.

When they returned to Ziyunxuan, the yard was quiet. Except for a few maids, Hongyin and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Mu Lanfeng walked straight into the house. She knew very well that matters on the border could have a far-reaching impact. If Xilin, Tianluo and Gumo formed an alliance, Longyuan would be in danger.

Even though many preventive measures have been taken at the border, danger still looms and accidents may happen at any time.

"Miss, you're back." Hong Yin's voice came from the door. She hurried into the house and saw Mu Lanfeng's solemn expression. She was stunned, "Miss, what's wrong? What happened?"

Mu Lanfeng did not respond to Hong Yin's words. He just raised his eyes and glanced at her, remaining silent.

Hong Yin saw the confusion in Mu Lanfeng's eyes and quickly explained, "It's already the New Year's Day, and everyone in the mansion is very busy. Sister Feiyan and Biqing have been called by the Madam to help!"

Mu Lanfeng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Apart from Hongyin, Feiyan and Biqing were both assigned by the old lady. It was reasonable for them to be called over to help. She really had nothing to say.

Hong Yin's eyes were fixed on Mu Lanfeng. She opened her lips several times but stopped herself from speaking.

Mu Lanfeng lowered his head slightly, and did not raise his eyes to look at Hong Yin. He just opened his lips slightly and slowly uttered the words: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. It's totally unlike your usual straightforward style to be so hesitant!"

"Miss, I'm just worried about you!" Hongyin said timidly in a low voice.

"Am I not fine here now? What is there to worry about?" Mu Lanfeng's originally cold expression eased a little, and he asked softly.

"The situation that day was extremely dangerous. I was really worried about the girl's safety. Fortunately, by chance, we met His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, and we were able to escape danger." Hong Yin said with lingering fear.

When Mu Lanfeng heard this, he curled his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said loudly: "Humph, look at who I am, your daughter? What is there to be afraid of? Maybe you have stayed in this deep courtyard for too long and have forgotten all the things in the past!"

Hong Yin scratched his head and said with a smile: "I seem to have forgotten a little, but it's always better to be careful!"
