Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Seeing this, Murong Zixi smiled gently. She walked to Yun Yubing and bowed slightly: "Second aunt, it was my fault in the past, don't blame my cousin." Her voice was soft and firm, as if the spring breeze blowing across the frozen lake, bringing a hint of warmth.

Yun Yubing looked at her in shock, obviously not expecting such words from a woman who was once considered silly. She widened her eyes, as if trying to find some flaws in Murong Zixi's face. However, Murong Zixi's expression was calm and sincere, leaving her no room for doubt.

Seeing this, Ruan stood up and walked to Yun Yubing, whispering something in her ear. Yun Yubing's eyes widened and finally she exclaimed: "Are you not stupid?" This exclamation echoed in the quiet room, and everyone was stunned.

Everyone in the room looked at Yun Yubing with reproachful expressions, as if she had done something outrageous. Yun Yubing also realized her own misconduct, and quickly covered her mouth, hesitatingly explaining: "Well, well... I was just too surprised."

Murong Zixi looked at Yun Yubing's embarrassment and couldn't help but feel a little amused. She raised her eyebrows. It seemed that this cousin had a carefree personality, but she didn't dislike her. So she nodded and said "hmm" lightly, which was considered a response to Yun Yubing's surprise and doubt.

Just like that, a small disturbance was quietly calmed down in the inner room of the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion. The estrangement between Yun Yubing and Murong Zixi seemed to be eliminated at this moment. The sun was still bright, shining on the faces of the two girls, reflecting their innocent and bright smiles.

Although the two had not met each other very often, the blood bond made them feel like old friends at first sight. Yun Yubing looked at the little puppy in Murong Zixi's arms, her eyes sparkling with surprise and envy: "Cousin, the little puppy in your arms is so cute! Look at its round eyes, it seems to be able to read people's hearts."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Murong Zixi stroked Xiaobai's fur and said, "Well, cousin, Xiaobai is very cute."

"Its name is Xiaobai?"

Murong Zixi nodded and put Xiaobai on the ground. Xiaobai curled up at her feet, being very well behaved.

The old lady looked at the two girls with a smile on her face. Today, when Murong Zixi came, the old lady's smile never stopped.

The old lady smiled and said, "Qin, it's almost noon. Have someone prepare a delicious lunch. Xier will have lunch at the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion today."

Murong Zixi looked up at the kind-faced old lady and said, "Grandma, I'm not picky about food."

The old lady patted her hands and felt very sorry for her.

Qin smiled and said, "Mother, I will go and arrange it myself." After saying that, Qin bowed to the old lady and walked out.

The midday sun shines through the carved window lattices and onto the exquisite dining table.

After a while, Qin ordered the servants to prepare a sumptuous lunch. There were all kinds of delicacies, delicious and mouth-watering.

A group of people came to the dining table and sat down.

The old lady doted on Murong Zixi and kept picking food for her. Her kind eyes were full of love and expectations for the younger generation.

Yun Yubing pouted her lips and said, "Grandma doesn't care about Bing'er anymore. She only cares about picking food for my cousin Xier."

Ruan glared at Yun Yubing coquettishly and said, "You are already an adult, and you are still competing for favor with your cousin."

The old lady laughed loudly, then picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and put it into Yun Yubing's bowl, "Is Bing'er satisfied?"

"Thank you, grandma." After saying that, Yun Yubing also picked up a piece of fish and put it into the old lady's bowl.

Murong Zixi lived alone in her previous life, and she liked the atmosphere of the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion very much. The family lived in harmony and there was no dirty business.

The family sat around the dining table, laughing and talking happily.

Royal Palace

In the imperial study, the emperor's eyes were fixed on his unruly brother, Prince of War Jun Feimo.

Jun Feimo, even in front of the emperor, still maintains that unruly and indifferent attitude.

"When did you come back? You didn't even send anyone to the palace to inform us." There was a hint of blame in the emperor's voice, but more of it was concern for his brother.

Jun Feimo lightly lifted his eyelids, seemingly not caring about his brother's reproach, and replied calmly: "A few days ago."

The emperor nodded slightly, with a look of relief on his face. He knew very well that this border victory was of great significance to Dongyang State, and Jun Feimo and the people of the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion played a decisive role in it.

He stood up, walked to Jun Feimo, and patted his shoulder: "Good news from the border. Xiliang has surrendered and signed a peace treaty. You, the loyal old marquis, and his two sons and grandsons have all made great contributions. When they return to the capital, I will reward them one by one."

Jun Feimo listened to his brother's words, but there was still no expression on his face.

The emperor smiled and said, "My mother has been talking about you all the time, saying that your Zhan Wang Mansion has no mistress, so she is waiting for you to come back to choose a concubine for you."

When Jun Feimo mentioned the selection of concubines, he couldn't help but frown. In his mind, the figure of Murong Zixi instantly emerged.

"I heard that you went to the general's mansion? Did you fall in love with the girl there?" The emperor seemed very interested in this matter and asked.

Jun Feimo shook his head calmly: "Royal brother, please don't get involved. I didn't do that."

"Really? Then why did you go to the General's Mansion?" The emperor obviously didn't believe Jun Feimo's words. He knew his brother's indifference very well. He was elusive and went to the General's Mansion without any reason. It made people wonder what was so attractive about the General's Mansion that attracted him to go there in person.

Jun Feimo was silent for a moment, and finally just uttered two words lightly: "Passing by."

The emperor was already accustomed to his cold attitude.

The emperor patted Jun Feimo on the shoulder and said, "You are not young anymore. You are already twenty years old this year. When I was your age, the prince was already two years old."

Jun Feimo frowned and said, "If your Majesty chose me to enter the palace just to say these things, then I will take my leave."

"Hey! You kid, you were born at an advanced age by your mother, and she has taken good care of you since you were a child. Every mistress in the Zhan Palace is worried about you. I asked you to be advised, but you are so impatient!"

Jun Feimo was the empress dowager who was still the queen at the time. She became pregnant when she was 35 years old. Jun Tianlin was the empress dowager's first child. He was already 17 years old at that time, so Jun Feimo grew up under his care. The two brothers had a huge age difference.

Even the current crown prince is eighteen years old, only two years younger than Jun Feimo, the little uncle.

"Okay, now that you're in the palace, come with me to the Cining Palace for lunch."

Jun Feimo nodded.

Cining Palace

The Queen Mother had already heard the news that Jun Feimo had entered the palace, and she kept looking towards the door.

"The Emperor has arrived, the King of War has arrived."

The Queen Mother smiled when she heard this. These two brothers are finally here.

The emperor and Jun Feimo came in, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Mother."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay. Mo'er, you are returning to the capital early. Why didn't you send anyone to the palace to tell me? I am very worried about you."
