Suddenly, Leng Ruo Li felt the temperature around her drop, making her shiver.
At that moment, a low, hoarse male voice reached her ears.
"Does it look good?"
"It looks good!"
After answering, Leng Ruo Li realized what she had said and abruptly turned around, only to find a man with purple eyes standing beside her, startling her.
"Ah—" Leng Ruo Li almost cried out.
The man immediately covered her mouth, preventing her from making any sound.
Damn it, this was so embarrassing. She was caught peeking.
Subsequently, Leng Ruo Li forcefully pushed away the man's large palm, intending to escape.
Suddenly, her waist was grabbed by the man. Using his lightness skill, he tipped his toes and soared into the distance, finally landing on a large tree in the outskirts.
"You're quite bold, daring to eavesdrop on Prince Qing," Jun Mo Han teased.
"We're in the same boat," Leng Ruo Li replied calmly.
At this moment, the man, with a wicked grin, was appraising Leng Ruo Li from head to toe.
"You're so short, and your waist is so slender. Could it be that you're a woman?"
Hearing this, Leng Ruo Li rolled her eyes at him and suddenly noticed that the man's hand was still around her waist.
It made her feel very awkward.
However, before Leng Ruo Li could speak, the man abruptly withdrew his hand from her waist.
Without anyone to support her, Leng Ruo Li's foot missed its mark, and she fell from the tree.
Fortunately, the man reacted quickly and grabbed Leng Ruo Li by her collar.
Immediately, the man felt that the place his hand gripped was not right. It was round and plump, soft and elastic...
This "man" was actually a woman disguised as a man.
Unexpectedly, he had guessed correctly.
"Ah—You scoundrel!" Leng Ruo Li yelled at the man.
In an instant, the man's face turned from pale to red with embarrassment, and the blush spread from his cheeks to the roots of his ears.
Originally, Jun Mo Han was returning to the Prince's residence by carriage from Baicao Hall with a few people that night. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed halfway.
After a fight with the assassins, the assassins were defeated and died, only their leader was rescued by a mysterious person who suddenly appeared after being seriously injured. Jun Mo Han tracked them all the way, but the assassins disappeared at Zhisheng Wine House.
It was at this moment that he inadvertently spotted Leng Ruo Li, whose figure was very similar to the woman who had saved him that night. He then decided to tease her.
At this moment, Jun Mo Han suddenly smiled wickedly and released his hand that was around Leng Ruo Li's waist. Leng Ruo Li instantly fell from the tree to the ground, and her mask also fell to the side.
"Ah—It hurts so much!"
The man in the tree chuckled, almost unable to contain his laughter.
However, Ye Ying and Ye Yi, standing on the rooftop not far away, heard it. Both were filled with surprise. They had heard their Prince laugh just now.
This was a rare occurrence!
The two had been by Prince Leng's side for nearly ten years, but they had never seen their Prince laugh.
But the person their Prince was holding seemed to be a man. Could it be true, as rumored outside, that their Prince disliked women and was gay?
At this moment, Leng Ruo Li, whose bones felt like they were falling apart from the fall, was furious. She pointed at the culprit in the tree and cursed him.
"Bastard, why did you suddenly let go?"
Hearing this, Jun Mo Han used his lightness skill and leaped lightly to Leng Ruo Li's front. He extended his slender fingers and grabbed Leng Ruo Li's delicate neck, his face covered with a gloomy haze.
"What did you just call me?"
"Bastard, did you hear me?"
Upon seeing the man's familiar, unparalleled beauty, Leng Ruo Li was almost angered to death. She had saved an ungrateful wretch.
If this scoundrel hadn't suddenly let go, she wouldn't have fallen from such a high tree. She was infuriated. If she could bear it, she wouldn't be able to.
Leng Ruo Li glared at him with her beautiful eyes.
Jun Mo Han: "Seeking death!"
Jun Mo Han gradually increased the pressure of his hand.
Leng Ruo Li's face turned red, and she almost suffocated as her neck was tightly gripped.
When Jun Mo Han saw the black spots on Leng Ruo Li's face, his handsome brows furrowed. He said with disgust, "So ugly!"
Leng Ruo Li glared at him with angry eyes, secretly cursing, "Ungrateful bastard, if I hadn't saved you that night, you wouldn't even have the chance to see my ugly face."
Suddenly, Leng Ruo Li's apricot eyes brightened, and she thought of a plan. She used her mind to retrieve a bottle of refreshing floral water from her spatial dimension and quickly aimed it at Jun Mo Han's eyes, spraying several times.
Jun Mo Han's hands immediately released Leng Ruo Li's neck. He roared at her, "What did you do to my eyes?"
Jun Mo Han's eyes watered from the sting of the refreshing floral water. Emitting a chilling aura, he turned and fled.
Ye Ying and Ye Yi quickly followed.
After Jun Mo Han left, Leng Ruo Li dared to breathe deeply.
"Damn it, this man has too much malevolent energy. I was almost choked to death by him just now."
Prince Leng's Residence
Jun Mo Han sat in the study with his eyes red and swollen, exuding a cold aura. The temperature in the study plummeted, sending chills down one's spine.
That woman tonight was truly hateful. If it weren't for the fact that her figure resembled the woman who had saved him that night, Jun Mo Han would have definitely killed her with a single palm.
"Your Highness, who put the medicinal solution in your eyes?" Chu Ming Xuan asked curiously.
"An—ugly—woman," Jun Mo Han gritted out the words, his eyes filled with uncontrollable rage, like an enraged lion.
Chu Ming Xuan: "..."
Ye Ying and Ye Yi exchanged glances. They had never seen Jun Mo Han openly display his emotions.
"Next time, don't let me see her, otherwise... heh..." Jun Mo Han narrowed his purple eyes and said coldly.
Chu Ming Xuan: "..."
Ye Ying: "..."
Ye Yi: "..."
The three men silently prayed for a certain woman in their hearts.
"Your Highness, this medicinal solution is not toxic. If you rinse your eyes with clean water several times immediately after it gets into your eyes, you'll be fine. There's no need to worry," Chu Ming Xuan skillfully changed the subject.
After speaking, Jun Mo Han did not react to what he said.
"However, I am very interested in the formula for this medicinal solution. Because from the scent on Your Highness, I can smell many medicinal ingredients, including mint, borneol, eucalyptus, mugwort, and honeysuckle, as well as a few other medicinal ingredients I can't identify."
"May I ask if Your Highness saw the woman's face clearly?" Chu Ming Xuan asked.
"That woman was small and slender, with bright eyes, and a conspicuous black spot on her face," Jun Mo Han recalled.
"Then, Your Highness, did you see what kind of medicinal solution this was?" Chu Ming Xuan asked again.
"I didn't pay attention at the time. I only saw her holding a strange green bottle in her hand and quickly pressing it in front of me. It sprayed a pungent and irritating medicinal solution," Jun Mo Han said with dark phoenix eyes.
"This medicinal solution has a very good refreshing effect. It would be great if we could get the formula for the medicinal solution from that woman," Chu Ming Xuan muttered softly.
Chu Ming Xuan was truly an alchemy fanatic. He wouldn't let go of anything related to medicinal materials.
"Ye Ying!"
"Go investigate the woman we encountered at Zhisheng Wine House tonight."
After Ye Ying responded, he turned and left quickly.
————
Leng Ruo Li, after Jun Mo Han left, also quickly returned to Zhisheng Wine House.
"Miss, you're finally back. Where did you go just now? I couldn't see you for a moment, and I was so worried."
Xing'er's eyes were red. She sniffled and continued,
"If something happened to Miss, how would I explain it to General Leng?" Xing'er started to cry as she spoke.
Leng Ruo Li took out a tissue from her system space with her mind, wiped her tears, and smiled, "Alright, you've cried so much that your face looks like a cat. Your miss is back safely, isn't she?"
Afterward, Leng Ruo Li took Xing'er to the counter to settle the bill and then they turned to head back to the residence.
On the way, Xing'er also told her about what had happened in the wine house during the time she had left Zhisheng Wine House.
Unexpectedly, Prince Qing and Leng Ruo Shuang were interrupted by two assassins who broke in while they were doing something.
Prince Qing and Leng Ruo Shuang ran out in disarray and were mocked by the crowd at the wine house, losing all face.
"What the heck!"
She felt a bit regretful that she hadn't personally witnessed Prince Qing and Leng Ruo Shuang making fools of themselves.
