The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Mu Yibai sat on the edge of the bed, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He looked more unrestrained and uninhibited than when he was in a wheelchair, which made Fu Yunxi a little overwhelmed.

Fu Yunxi walked into the room, took out the bedding, and wanted to find something to do to calm down.

"Did you still feel any discomfort in your legs when you were doing the exercises today? Do you need another checkup?"

"Fortunately, I don't feel any discomfort, just a little soreness in my calves."

"It's normal. You need to combine work and rest. Stop if your legs feel uncomfortable. You have good physical fitness, and your legs will recover faster than ordinary people. Let me press the acupuncture points for you."

"It's okay, I just need to take a rest. Pressing acupoints is too tiring. You sweat every time." Mu Yibai held Fu Yunxi's hand. He wanted to be close to her, but he didn't want her to be too tired.

"Then I'll get you some spiritual spring water to take a bath! You're sweating after your training."

"Okay, thank you Xier." Mu Yibai was looking forward to it.

Fu Yunxi took out a large wooden barrel and filled it with spiritual spring water. The previous large bathtub was broken and she felt sad. Fortunately, there was a new one in the space, which she would keep for use later.

"Don't worry, just soak in it slowly. The spiritual spring water can relieve fatigue and relax your muscles and tendons!

"Okay." Seeing Fu Yunxi making the bed, Mu Yibai turned his back to her, took off his coat and shirt, leaving only his underwear, walked into the wooden barrel and sat down, letting the spiritual spring water submerge his body, with his arms placed on both sides of the barrel.

"Xier--" He was about to speak, but found that Fu Yunxi was gone. The bed was tidy, but the person was gone.

Mu Yibai was annoyed. Did he scare her by being too impatient? Or did she enter the space to avoid taking a bath? But she was still there when he treated her leg last time?

Mu Yibai was helpless, thinking that she was an innocent girl after all, and as her husband, this move might be a bit rash, so he secretly warned himself to proceed step by step.

In the space, Fu Yunxi covered her face with her hands. Even with her eyes closed, she seemed to be able to see Mu Yibai's tight back, clear lines, solid muscles, without any fat, exuding a unique charm. This was even sexier than the short videos she had seen in modern times, and it made her blood boil. So she couldn't help it and flashed into the space directly, for fear that if she stayed for another second, her nose would bleed!

After calming down, Fu Yunxi continued to study medical books and classified them, intending to teach Liu Yue to identify herbs first.

During this period, she has read most of the books on traditional Chinese medicine. She always believes that the wisdom of the Chinese people is beyond words. A lot of Western medical knowledge can be found in traditional Chinese medicine. She even regrets that she did not read these medical books earlier in her previous life.

In these two short days, everyone had fled for their lives several times and was exhausted, so they slept especially well tonight.

In this quiet night, there was only a bright moon hanging on the treetops, casting a little moonlight. There were a few sneaky figures at the back door of the post station, looking around, trying to pry open the closed door.

"Yuyu--" The horse tied in the shed discovered them and made a neighing sound, but everyone was immersed in sleep at this moment!

Only Mu Yibai and Huo San who were upstairs noticed the noise and opened the door to check. They happened to live on the same floor, so they ran into each other in the corridor as soon as they opened the door.

"Major General, did you hear the noise downstairs too? Eh? Your leg?" Huo San first saw Mu Yibai and knew that he must have heard the noise downstairs as well. He greeted him softly, but suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did he suddenly stand up? Could it be...

"My leg injury has been healed by a famous doctor. Let's go see what's going on downstairs."

"Okay! Have you told Uncle Yun? He will be happy when he knows." Huo San was brought into the military camp by Mu Aiguo and he has great respect for the Mu family. Now that he knows that Mu Yibai's leg injury has healed, he is naturally happy.

"I was just about to say, don't tell anyone about this yet."

"Don't worry! Major General, I know what I am doing."

"From now on, just call me second brother like Yiheng does." Mu Yibai's status is different now, so naturally he doesn't want him to call him like that.

"Okay, second brother!" Huo San became even happier when he heard Mu Yibai say this. Calling them this made their relationship closer.

Mu Yibai and Huo San went downstairs together to check the situation and saw Chen Jianzhong hiding behind the stairs on the first floor, looking around, not knowing what he was doing.

Huo San hugged Chen Jianzhong from behind and covered his mouth: "What are you doing secretly?" Huo San's deliberately lowered voice rang in Chen Jianzhong's ears, and Mu Yibai also walked in front of Chen Jianzhong.

"Master! Save me! Master, your legs..."

Chen Jianzhong was extremely shocked. How could his master appear before him without any reason? And who covered his mouth?

"Huo San, let him go! He is my apprentice, Chen Jianzhong, the son of the Chen family."

As soon as Mu Yibai finished speaking, Shen Lin let go of Chen Jianzhong.

"Master, is your leg okay? Master..."

Chen Jianzhong was so excited that his voice unconsciously became louder, and Huo San covered his mouth again.

"Keep your voice down, there may be someone outside, don't scare them." Huo San warned in a low voice.

Only after seeing Chen Jianzhong nodding repeatedly did he let go of his hand.

"Master..." Chen Jianzhong called him "Master" in a very aggrieved tone, expressing his dissatisfaction with Mu Yibai.

"My leg is fine. Huo San is from Yunmuzhai. Let's see what's going on first. Did you come out because you heard the noise?" Mu Yibai knew that Chen Jianzhong was just excited for the moment and did not blame him.

"Yes, I just came back from martial arts practice and was about to go to bed when I heard a strange noise and came downstairs."

"Well! Your listening ability has improved a lot." Mu Yibai was very satisfied.

Chen Jianzhong would be very happy every time he received praise from Mu Yibai. Few people could understand the feeling of being recognized by the person he admired.

"You still have the mentality of a child." Huo San stood with his arms folded, teasing with a smile.

"Who said I was a child? I already..." Chen Jianzhong was interrupted by Huo San before he could finish his words.

Huo San signaled Chen Jianzhong to keep quiet. It turned out that the back door of the post station had been pried open, and several thin men in tattered clothes came in. They looked like refugees, and they tiptoed into the lobby.

Chen Jianzhong looked at Mu Yibai nervously. These people were obviously thieves who came to steal things. Should they take action?

Mu Yibai signaled Chen Jianzhong with his eyes not to act rashly.

Huo San didn't understand Mu Yibai's idea. The people sleeping in the lobby of the post station were all from the second branch of the Mu family. These thieves didn't want to steal their things, so why bother? What if the second branch deliberately set up a trap and bit back? Let's wait and see.

Chen Jianzhong seemed to understand Huo San's eyes and stared back without showing any weakness. What were he looking at? He was just listening to his master!

"Behave yourself." Seeing Chen Jianzhong's angry look, Huo San found it funny and teased him in a low voice.
