Chapter 55: IBMLS Ch.55 Invitation (1)
In the morning, Mu Mingtang got up early. Xie Xuanchen also woke up early today. After Mu Mingtang finished feeding him breakfast, she helped Xie Xuanchen walk slowly around his room.
His current physical strength was much better than when he just woke up from his coma, at first, his face would turn pale even when he barely walked, and now he can slowly walk around the room for one full round. Mu Mingtang felt that he was making rapid progress, but Xie Xuanchen himself was dissatisfied and often felt disappointed in himself.
Mu Mingtang could only help him, she nagged as she said: “There is no one here, why are you in such a hurry? Don’t worry, take your time.”
The two of them were about to finish a circle when the door of the main hall suddenly burst open. Both Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang were shocked, and at this moment, the guards greeted faintly from the door: “His Royal Highness Jin.”
Is it Xie Xuanji? Why is he here again? Mu Mingtang was startled and hurriedly found a place to hide Xie Xuanchen. They were not too far from the bed. If they moved quickly, they might have time to lie back on the bed, but Xie Xuanchen could not make such big movements, and the dark iron chain was unlocked, and it was now piled on the ground.
Even if Xie Xuanchen had the time, it was too late to place the chain back to its original position.
Xie Xuanchen’s face turned pale, he looked out, all the blood in his thin lips disappeared, his gaze was cold and sharp.
Mu Mingtang was still hurriedly looking for a place. When she looked up and saw Xie Xuanchen’s eyes, she couldn’t help but feel scared. She was startled for a moment, and then she realized what Xie Xuanchen wanted to do.
At that moment, every strand of hair on Mu Mingtang’s back stood up. She took advantage of the time when Xie Xuanji was still at the door and couldn’t hear the movements in the room. She quickly held Xie Xuanchen’s arm and said in a low voice, “You’re crazy!”
Xie Xuanchen smiled silently, he lowered his head and looked at her mockingly: “Why, is your heart aching for him?”
“What does he have to do with me, I can’t bear to lose you.” Mu Mingtang didn’t have time to think much about it, she didn’t know where the sudden bravery came from, but she pushed Xie Xuanchen back and pulled the blinds over him, “I personally nurtured you to health with my dowry and my meals. If you’re going to forcefully use your strength, how can your body stand it?”
Xie Xuanchen’s expression slightly changed when he heard her. He was about to say something, but Mu Mingtang stopped him with a sentence: “You are now eating my food, you have no right to object. Stay put and don’t move.”
Mu Mingtang opened the protective screen, untied the outer layer of her dress, and deliberately placed it on top of the screen. Mu Mingtang wore a light red skirt with a red golden top and a yellow coat. The golden top and the coat were both very eye-catching colours, along with the screen that was painted with ink, it looked even more eye-catching.
The screen was originally used to cover the bedding, when they were all fully opened, the bed and people behind it would be completely blocked. Xie Xuanji was used to coming to the Qiyang manor at random times. The people outside were the emperor’s subordinates, Xie Xuanji would never need to report to the people inside before he came in. After he entered, he found that there was no one in the hall, so he walked towards the west.
