"Master, do you want it now?" Leng Feng asked uncertainly.
Xie Qianmo didn't speak, just stared coldly at Leng Feng.
Leng Feng shivered, then softly said, "Those storybooks, I didn't bring them with me. They are still in my quarters!"
A few seconds later!
Xie Qianmo still remained silent. Leng Feng deflated, "Well, should I go back to the palace to get them now?"
"Then why aren't you going?" Xie Qianmo snapped, his face grim.
Leng Feng had no choice.
He turned.
And dashed away.
Throughout the entire process, Leng Ye stood on the side observing.
His mind was filled with continuous speculation about Xie Qianmo.
Why would his master read storybooks?
Could it be... he wanted to learn some unreliable things from those books!
At this moment!
Inside Qin Yun's tent!
"Young Master, this is our first time sleeping in a tent outdoors. If you can't sleep well, we can return to the manor tomorrow!" Xiao Ju brought hot water for Qin Yun to wash up.
Qin Yun half-reclined on the floor mat, holding his forehead, eyes closed.
"Young Master...?" Xiao Ju called softly.
Qin Yun slightly opened his eyes. "Go and see if Young Master Zheng needs anything!"
Xiao Ju frowned. "What does a grown man need looking after? It's you, Young Master... a young lady camping outdoors, you must be careful!!" The last few words were spoken very quietly.
Qin Yun nodded. "Hong Fu will be on watch tonight! She's skilled in martial arts, I'll be fine!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ju still felt it wasn't enough. "Young Master, I'll sleep with you tonight! That way I can rest assured."
Qin Yun patted Xiao Ju's head and smiled. "Silly girl, in the eyes of outsiders, I am a man. Although you are a maid, you are also a girl. If others see us, it will not be good for your reputation!"
"Young Master, in the eyes of outsiders, I am your concubine maid! I don't care what others say, I just want to protect Young Master!"
Qin Yun shook his head helplessly and said no more.
After washing up!
Xiao Ju took the water out and quickly returned.
Qin Yun lifted the tent flap and looked out into the dark night.
She saw Xie Qianmo's tent directly opposite hers.
And Xie Qianmo's tent flap was always open.
From Qin Yun's direction, she could see the entire interior of Xie Qianmo's tent.
Similarly!
If Qin Yun opened her tent flap, the other party could also see the situation inside her tent.
Qin Yun looked at Xie Qianmo with curiosity.
She saw Xie Qianmo sitting cross-legged, with a low wooden table in front of him, being served by a boy beside him.
Coincidentally!
Xie Qianmo looked up!
Making direct eye contact with Qin Yun.
Qin Yun felt a little embarrassed, gave Xie Qianmo a polite smile, and then lowered the tent flap.
After the flap was lowered, Qin Yun patted her little heart.
Would that Prince Zheng misunderstand her!
It felt as if she had been peeking.
Being misunderstood would be troublesome!
"Young Master, it's getting late! Let's sleep!"
Xiao Ju had spread the bedding, sleeping on the innermost side, leaving a large space for Qin Yun.
Looking at the well-behaved and lovely Xiao Ju.
Seeing her insistence, Qin Yun smiled gently.
She simply took off her outer robe, lay down on the floor mat, and prepared to extinguish the lamp and sleep.
Opposite!
Xie Qianmo frowned.
Qin Yun's maid had entered the tent... but hadn't come out.
The oil lamp in the tent was also extinguished.
Was this boy asleep?
Slept with the maid?
Xie Qianmo was instantly furious, and the cup in his hand shattered with a "bang"!
He had traveled so far to look after that boy.
Unexpectedly, the boy, with his maid, wanted to spend some intimate time together even outdoors?
Who gave him the audacity!
I forbid it!
"Master, your hand... is bleeding!" Leng Ye beside him said, looking anxious.
"I have spare medicine here," he said, taking out the spare ointment from his waist.
Xie Qianmo waved his hand and said coldly, "Go to the opposite tent and call Qin Yun over. Let her apply medicine to me!"
Knowing Xie Qianmo was angry, Leng Ye dared not delay!
He quickly exited the tent.
In just a few steps, he arrived in front of Qin Yun's tent.
"Young Master Qin, my master is injured. Could you please help?" Leng Ye's voice was neither too loud nor too soft.
Inside the tent!
Qin Yun was in a daze, half-asleep.
Leng Ye outside the tent, fearing Qin Yun hadn't heard, called out again, "Young Master Qin?"
"What happened to Young Master Zheng? Where is he injured? How did he get hurt?" Qin Yun rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly got up.
As Qin Yun got up, Xiao Ju also got up. "Young Master, I'll help you change!"
"No need, I'll be back soon. You aren't even dressed yet. Don't catch a cold!"
Listening to this conversation, Leng Ye outside the tent was full of embarrassment.
Had he interrupted the good time of these two?
Even their clothes were off?
This was quite fast!
Young Master Qin hadn't even been lying down for long, and they had already gotten to the main event?
While Leng Ye was lost in his thoughts, Qin Yun had already put on his outer robe and lifted the tent flap to come out.
"Young Master Qin, I apologize for the interruption!"
Qin Yun waved his hand. "It's alright!"
"Let's go and see your master!"
Qin Yun was still a little dazed.
Speaking of which, there were quite a few small insects and mosquitoes in the countryside.
She seemed to have been bitten several times.
Upon arriving at Xie Qianmo's tent, Xie Qianmo's deep eyes were fixed on Qin Yun.
Qin Yun felt uncomfortable under Xie Qianmo's gaze, and slightly frowned. "Young Master Zheng, I heard you were injured?"
She looked Xie Qianmo up and down.
She noticed his hand was bleeding.
Qin Yun didn't think much of it, took out the ointment she carried, and handed it to Leng Feng. "Take this. You can apply medicine to Young Master Zheng later."
Leng Ye dared not take it!
The reason their master was injured was to lure Young Master Qin over!
Applying medicine was naturally not his place.
"I'm clumsy and afraid of hurting the Young Master. I beg Young Master Qin to help!"
Qin Yun thought, since she was already here, she might as well apply the medicine.
"Alright!"
Qin Yun asked Leng Ye to fetch warm water to clean Xie Qianmo's wound, stop the bleeding, and finally apply the medicine.
Looking at Qin Yun's face, which was so close, Xie Qianmo's expression finally improved a little.
"Asking Young Master Qin to come so late, did I disturb your good deed!" Xie Qianmo's words were tinged with jealousy.
Qin Yun didn't react at first.
She looked up!
When she saw Xie Qianmo's expression, as if he were watching a play, she instantly understood!
She coughed awkwardly twice. "Cough, cough, well... Young Master Zheng, you misunderstand! My maid and I were simply sleeping."
Xie Qianmo snorted, "Is that so? But it didn't look like it! I didn't expect Young Master Qin to be into that sort of thing! While dealing with the disaster and aiding the people in the countryside, you didn't forget to bring along your concubine maid for pleasure."
Qin Yun bit her lower lip, and her hand bandaging Xie Qianmo's wound applied a little more force in retaliation.
"Mmm..." Xie Qianmo grunted, his brows furrowed.
This boy was doing it on purpose!
"Young Master Zheng, a concubine maid is just a concubine maid, isn't that normal? Don't you have them in your manor too!"
After finishing the bandaging, Xie Qianmo reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"Yes, just a concubine maid. What young master would be short of such things? But it's inappropriate to be thinking of pleasure while out on official business!"
"Young Master Zheng, let me clarify again, I was not seeking pleasure, I was simply sleeping with my maid."
"Sleeping, understand?" Qin Yun said, making a sleeping gesture.
Seeing Qin Yun's reddened neck and chin, Xie Qianmo naturally didn't believe it!
In his mind, he began to fantasize about the ambiguous scenes between Qin Yun and Xiao Ju.
