Chapter 384

After the Emperor stopped looking at them, Mu Mingtang lowered her voice, gritting her teeth as she said to Xie Xuanchen, “Are you really putting on this front?”

“That’s right,” Xie Xuanchen didn’t think there was anything wrong with this at all as he said confidently, “They insist on caring about me, so what can I do about it? I can’t make them continue to worry, so I might as well do it.”

It’s justified and logical. Mu Mingtang glared at Xie Xuanchen angrily before she asked in a low voice, “Then when do you plan to recover?”

“There’s no hurry,” Xie Xuanchen spun the wine in the glass slowly and said leisurely, “Haste makes waste and I have to take my time to recuperate. It’s only been three months, after all; it’s improbable for me to be all better, isn’t it?”

Tricks

Mu Mingtang glanced at Xie Xuanchen,gaining a new understanding of how shameless a person could be.

The two of them continued talking when someone in the other seat stood up to make a toast, accidentally bumping into a passing servant. The servant in question was holding a wine jug on her tray, but she couldn’t stand still when she was abruptly pushed, so she staggered slightly and the wine she was balancing fell from the tray and spilled out immediately. Most of the wine was spilled in the aisle, but a small amount was splattered on the people around them.

The servant hurriedly knelt down and apologised to the nobility whose clothes were soiled. The female officer in charge rushed over when she saw it, apologised and asked them to change their clothes in the back. The few people who were affected were very unhappy, but this was the palace, so no one dared to get angry as they all got up to change their clothes.

A few drops were also splashed on Xie Xuanchen’s clothes and the female officer came to apologise to Xie Xuanchen in person. The servant who accidentally dropped the wine pot was so frightened that she didn’t dare to lift her head. Although Xie Xuanchen has a bad temper, he would never show his temperament in front of servants, waiters and the like. In fact, among all those who were affected, he was much easier to talk to than the others.

Xie Xuanchen went off to change without saying anything and Mu Mingtang didn’t think much about it. She sat alone on the seat for a while, but after not seeing Xie Xuanchen come back for a long time, she suddenly felt agitated.

No, Xie Xuanchen was not a dawdling person. If he was just changing clothes, he wouldn’t delay it for so long. Mu Mingtang stood up with a jerk. She got up so violently that the people around her were startled.

A lady next to her tried to talk to Mu Mingtang, “Why is Princess An in such a hurry? Princess, I would like to offer you a toast.”

Mu Mingtang couldn’t care less about others at the moment, so she hurriedly shouted “Get out of the way” and quickly chased in the direction where Xie Xuanchen left. There was a lot of movement in Mu Mingtang’s seat, which led to many people looking in this direction. Even the Emperor and the Empress were alarmed by the sudden actions.

“What’s wrong?”

Mu Mingtang would also like to know what was wrong. Her heart was pounding and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on her back. The road in the palace had its twists and turns and Mu Mingtang only saw the direction Xie Xuanchen left when he went to change. Once she got out, she didn’t know where else to go.
