Chapter 1891: Chapter 1888: Arrangements

Only Chu Heng could confide in her, and that’s how she knew.

Those things that couldn’t be revealed, Ye Muyu wouldn’t pursue.

"I’ll go wash up first, and be back shortly. You can cook some wontons." Chu Heng reached out to ruffle her hair.

As he reached out to undress, he removed his outer garment and quickly stepped into the adjacent room to wash and bathe.

Ye Muyu instructed Su Mei to cook the wontons.

Having nothing else to do, she patiently read a book while waiting for him to finish.

When Chu Heng finished cleaning up and came out in clean clothes, he saw the wontons already cooked, steaming hot.

The weather had begun to warm up by this time.

Only the nights were a bit cooler.

Ye Muyu was holding a fan in her hand, fanning the wontons.

Hearing the noise, she looked up with a smile and waved: "Ah Heng, come quickly, the wontons are ready. They’re just the right temperature to eat now."

Chu Heng sat beside her, reached out to ruffle her hair again, and asked, "Why aren’t you eating?"

"I just had some pastries, can’t eat anymore. You should go ahead." Ye Muyu pushed the bowl of wontons to him and sat beside him, watching him eat.

Chu Heng, hearing this, did not refuse further. In a swift but elegant manner, he finished a bowl of wontons in no time.

"Was it good?" Ye Muyu propped her chin up, smiling with concern.

Chu Heng had finished the wontons and was sipping the soup, his eyes narrowed and lips curled up: "Delicious."

"I made these wontons by hand tonight." Ye Muyu winked at him, seeking credit.

Chu Heng murmured in acknowledgment, reaching out to ruffle her hair: "You worked hard."

"Not at all. As long as you like it, that’s all that matters." Ye Muyu was in high spirits, lounging on the small wooden table. Seeing he was almost done, she finally brought up the day’s events.

"Is the matter in the Imperial Palace resolved? How did Consort Deng suddenly have a miscarriage?" Ye Muyu asked curiously.

Chu Heng stirred the spoon in his bowl for a moment, narrowing his eyes as he replied, "It’s not that simple."

"What do you mean?" Ye Muyu leaned in closer, looking at him expectantly.

Seeing her like this, Chu Heng’s eyes glinted with amusement, and he didn’t conceal it: "Recently, the palace isn’t safe."

"It’s a pity it involved the Southern Border’s people. However, now that it’s been exposed, there will only be a widespread round-up next." Chu Heng set down the spoon, recalling the poisonous traps hard to defend against from the Southern Border, and seriously warned, "Ah Yu, there might be some turmoil caused by the Southern Border’s forces in the capital. Whenever you encounter medicines from the Southern Border, try to keep a distance. I’ll ensure arrangements are made for your protection."

"But you don’t need to worry too much. The important leaders have already been captured. The rest, if they’re wise, will choose to flee rather than fight to the death." Chu Heng felt that the current situation in the capital would depend entirely on Emperor Xuanming’s decisions.

He really couldn’t overturn the entire capital on his own. It wasn’t just unrealistic; too many people were involved.

"I will take care of myself. Recently, I’ve been studying the medical books from the Southern Border, so I won’t be as defenseless as before." Ye Muyu interlocked her fingers with his, to reassure him.

"My time at home will be unpredictable lately, so don’t wait up for me. Arrange your schedule as you wish and rest early, okay?" Chu Heng tirelessly advised, not overlooking even the smallest matters.

Ye Muyu waved her hand: "Alright, I know, I won’t foolishly wait for you."
