Chapter 58

Facing Mu Feng's eyes that were thirsty for knowledge, Mu Huo was very proud, and his red face became brighter and brighter.

He first glanced at King Chu. Seeing that King Chu was not paying attention, he lowered his voice and answered Mu Feng's question:

"Have you forgotten? I put a big net in the Hengshui at the bottom of the cliff..."

Mu Feng's eyes widened and he whispered: "Is that the big net used for fishing?"

Seeing Mu Huo nod, Mu Feng suddenly realized that it was Mu Huo who closed the net in time and saved her...

"Well--"

Mu Shui woke up slowly, first he felt a cold sensation under his body, and then he felt soreness all over his body...

pain?

No, isn't she dead? Why does she feel pain?

Mu Shui rolled his eyes, saw the wheelchair next to him, and immediately got up: "Master... Mu Feng, Mu Huo, why are you here?"

As soon as she asked, she understood: "Did you save me?"

Mu Feng regained his ice face and was too lazy to speak.

Mu Huo said expressionlessly: "It's my master's order to save you."

Hearing this, Mu Shui knelt down in front of the King of Chu with a choked voice: "Thank you, Master, for saving my life."

After thanking him, Mu Shui raised his head and looked at King Chu stubbornly: "Master, do you believe me?"

King Chu did not answer immediately, but looked at Mu Feng and Mu Huo.

Mu Huo immediately said: "Master, I am resigning."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Mu Feng also resigned and left.

King Chu then looked at Mu Shui: "Get up."

Mu Shui did not get up and stubbornly wanted an answer: "Master, do you believe me?"

King Chu looked a little moved, and his voice was not as cold as before: "In the past fifteen years, I have seen everything you have done. I am very happy that you did not tell that person what happened here, so I stayed here."

You till now.

"From now on, it will be the same as before."

Mu Shui was ecstatic, her master believed in her, and she could stay with him again. She kowtowed excitedly: "Thank you for your trust, master."

Then he stood up and looked at King Chu with a smile.

The King of Chu glanced at the whip marks on her body and said in an indifferent tone: "I trust you because you have followed the rules for the past fifteen years and have never exceeded even half a point and have never betrayed me.

"I hope you can maintain your original intention, don't have other thoughts, and don't betray my trust in you."

The smile on Mu Shui's face froze instantly.

What does the master mean by this?

Follow the rules, keep your original intention, and don't have other thoughts... Mu Shui was shocked, did the master see what she was thinking?

The master asked her not to have other thoughts. Was he warning her?

Thinking of this, Mu Shui lowered his head to hide his panic and loss.

When she looked up again, the expression on Mu Shui's face was as indifferent as before. She said respectfully: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your trust in me."

"That's good."

King Chu responded lightly, then took out a jade bottle and handed it over: "This is medicine for wounds. When you get back, ask Shui Rong to help you wipe it. Tell me after you use it."

"Thank you, Master." Mu Shui was very excited when he took the jade bottle. This jade bottle contained high-quality wound medicine, which was used by the master himself.

Now that the master is letting her use it, it means that the master has regarded her as a confidant.

"Help the little lady take care of her injuries before going back. There is no need to stay up late tonight. You can sleep more tomorrow."

Hearing these instructions with hidden concern, Mu Shui's heart became even more excited. She happily agreed and walked to the bed with brisk steps.

...

"hiss--"

Hearing Mu Shui's cry of pain, Shui Rong immediately stopped applying the medicine: "Madam, did I hurt you?"

"It's okay, keep going."

Mu Shui was lying on the bed biting his lower lip, holding back the pain in his body, and habitually recalled what happened that day.

"Madam, are you asleep?"

A quarter of an hour later, Shui Rong finished applying the medicine and saw that Mu Shui had her eyes closed and was motionless, thinking she had fallen asleep.

But after she asked, Mu Shui opened his eyes: "That girl Shui Fu can't hide anything. Don't tell her about my injury."

"Yes." Shui Rong responded respectfully.

"You go back to sleep. You don't have to get up early tomorrow. You can sleep more."

Mu Shui put on his coat and sat up.

Seeing Shui Rong standing still, Mu Shui was slightly surprised: "Is there anything else?"

After an inner struggle, Shui Rong finally asked: "Madam, did King Chu hurt you?"

"I did something wrong and I deserve to be punished. In the future, you should remind Shui Fu more to act more cautiously and talk less." At this time, Mu Shui's expression was indifferent, and his heart was untroubled.

"yes."

Shui Rong did not leave and talked about something that puzzled her: "Madam, when Shui Fu and I were admiring the moon, we saw someone falling from the Shenyin Palace. The clothes she was wearing were the same as yours today.

Wearing exactly the same clothes.

"But Huo Feng told me that I was wrong.

"I thought that if I read it correctly, the place where it fell should be the window of King Chu's bedroom, and it would definitely not be you.

"Now, I'm not sure again."

Shui Rong's eyes fell on Mu Shui's injury: "Madam, did someone fall from King Chu's bedroom tonight? Is that person you?"

After hearing these words, Mu Shui was shocked. She didn't expect that Shui Rong would doubt this after seeing her safe and sound, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Huo Feng was right, you were wrong."

Mu Shui's words dispelled the last trace of doubt in Shui Rong's heart, and a relaxed expression appeared on her face: "It's okay if it's not you, then I'll go back first."

After Shui Rong finished speaking, she turned around and left.

"etc--"

Mu Shui stopped Shui Rong and asked her, "What does Cui Hengyue look like?"

"Madam, why did you suddenly ask about Cui Hengyue?" Shui Rong walked back to the bed.

Shui Rong was surprised. This was the first time she heard the lady inquire about people. She thought that except the King of Chu, the lady would not care about anyone.

Unexpectedly, the lady suddenly asked her about Cui Hengyue.

Shui Rong felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Mu Shui's eyes moved slightly and his tone was calm: "It's nothing, it's just that troubles have been happening in the South Palace recently, and they are all related to Cui Hengyue. I just want to see what she looks like."

So that’s it.

Shui Rong felt relieved and said slowly: "Before jumping off the cliff, Cui Hengyue had to go to the kitchen of Dizang Pavilion to light the fire every day, so her face was not very white.

"As for her appearance, she looks pretty, but compared to you, my wife, she is much inferior. They say she only resembles Wang three-thirds.

"Oh, by the way, she has a small mole under her right eyebrow. I heard that Wang also has it..."

After hearing this, Mu Shui could no longer listen to the rest of the words. The huge waves in her heart had left her with no time to care about anything else.

It turns out that the young lady the master asked Mu Yun to send was Cui Hengyue... Why didn't she think of it at the time?

Cui Hengyue was injured, and so was that young lady. And how many such young ladies could there be in Yunxuan Temple? She should have thought of it earlier.

Could it be that the woman in the master's heart is... Cui Hengyue's mother, Mrs. Wang?

The next moment, Mu Shui overturned this guess.

If the woman in the master's heart was Wang, the master would not have imprisoned Wang in the North Cave, nor would he have whipped Cui Hengyue.
