Chapter 1919: Chapter 1916: Strange

Ye Muyu picked up a plate of Chestnut Cake and walked over to Chu Heng.

Chu Heng held Nuanbao with both hands, looked at her, and sought sympathy: “Not empty.”

Ye Muyu could see through his little scheme, and laughed out loud.

She casually placed the plate on the stone table, picked up a piece of cake, and fed it to his mouth.

Chu Heng took a bite of the half piece, brushing against her fingers, and lightly bit them.

Ye Muyu quickly retracted her hand, angrily ate the other half: “How can you bite me!”

“Don’t be mad, next time I’ll bite gently.” Chu Heng’s words made Ye Muyu’s already red face even more flushed, angrily glaring at him: “You’re too much.”

“Come, son, have some milk.” Ye Muyu decisively ignored him for a while, giving Nuanbao some milk.

Nuanbao didn’t really like drinking pure milk, preferring sweetness like Chu Heng.

But adding sugar to milk destroys its nutritional value, missing the purpose of nourishing the body, so it’s better not to drink it. Ye Muyu followed the principle of less food, more meals, feeding Nuanbao a bit every hour.

Maidservants often attended to Nuanbao, so they weren’t worried about wetting his pants.

Chu Heng sat down on the stone bench, grabbed the bottle, and fed Nuanbao.

“How is your arm healing?”

Ye Muyu wasn’t really angry, happily welcomed his concern, “Almost healed, in a few days the splint can be removed.”

“Why did you come back so early today? I was planning to ask someone when you’d return, if it was too late, I’d have the kitchen keep the chicken soup warm.”

“Black Bone Chicken Mushroom Soup, nutritious and tasty, also Smoked Ribs Stewed Mung Beans Soup, soothing and delicious.”

“Finished the tasks, recently not as busy.” Chu Heng thought about the palace matters, reminded her cautiously: “If you encounter strangers, be more careful.”

He finished, explaining the palace situation.

Ye Muyu listened, somewhat incredulous, lowered her voice and said: “Ah Heng, are you suggesting you also suspect Deng Jieyu has connections with the Southern Border?”

“Very likely, but there’s no evidence now.” Chu Heng doesn’t believe Deng Jieyu and others can hide it forever, but the palace is ultimately the Emperor’s domain, even if this issue arises, without the Emperor assigning him the task, meddling might give Deng Jieyu and others leverage. If falsely accused now, it would be an unjust death.

“Did Imperial Concubine Qi Zhao Yi really fall so badly?” Ye Muyu still found it hard to believe.

Imperial Concubine Qi Zhao Yi was so arrogant and confident, with the Qi family backing her, arguably more secure than Empress Lin’s position. Despite past issues, her position wasn’t affected.

Even if demoted later, her palace status hasn’t changed, just lost face.

“Did the Qi family agree?” Ye Muyu curiously asked.

Chu Heng directly mentioned Minister Qi and King Qi kneeling at the palace gate.

Ye Muyu clicked her tongue: “However, with such complete evidence this time, Imperial Concubine Qi Zhao Yi might have no choice but to accept the fall.”

Chu Heng saw her gossiping, worried she wouldn’t take it to heart, gently rubbed her forehead: “Ah Yu, you need to keep this in mind, don’t let it slip from your mind after hearing it.”

“Deng Jieyu’s movements this time are significant, sure to draw a lot of attention, having a weapon isn’t scary, but her boldness without scruples is.”

“I still find it strange.” Ye Muyu followed his words with analysis.
