The Aloof Prince Chapter 25 - Bird Blindness

At Mu Yunjin`s words, Chu Li`s whole body immediately felt cold, his eyebrows furrowed as he suspiciously looked at Mu Yunjin, and coldly said,

“Say it again.”

Mu Yunjin was slightly startled, Chu Li`s tone felt like a double edged sword, she can`t help but purse her lips, she remembered her injured wrist, her confidence faltered. After a while, Mu Yunjin put on a brave face, and laughed loudly,

“That jade is originally mine, sixth prince only picked it up, it is just right that you return it to me, and not hang on to it and refusing to return it.”

Ding Xian originally thought Mu Yunjin will be scared by his master and will no longer speak, unexpectedly she was able to collect herself well, and seems not to be afraid of death and faced him head on. He looked at Chu Li again, earlier he is wearing a smiling expression, but now his face is completely gloomy, then he reached on his sleeves, and took out the piece of Jade. Ding Xian did not think that his master will really return the Jade, but Chu Li`s hands clutched the ta.s.sels of the Jade, Mu YunJin shook the jade from his hands.

“What if this prince don`t return?”

Ding Xian stared blankly, in the end he could not completely guess Chu Li`s thoughts. He got the sense of him teasing a woman by pretending to be displeased with her. Thinking of this, Ding Xian got frightened by his own thoughts.

“Scoundrel!”

Mu Yunjin was angered by Chu Li, for a moment the air around them was stifled, without any choice she start to scold. Indeed, Chu Li is right, she does not like how he could just not return the jade. At Mu Yun Jin`s scolding Chu Li is actually not angered, he indifferently withdrew the Jade, and lazily looked at Mu Yunjin, then he leisurely walked away. Mu Yunjin stared at Chu Li`s back, looked at Ding Xian who did not move at the side, ignoring him she looked at the lantern on his hands,

“Everywhere is brightly lit, why are you still carrying a lantern?”

Ding Xian choked, he looked at the lantern in his hands, and glanced at Chu Li`s retreating figure, in a small voice he exclaimed,

“Third Miss, it is a long story.”

Mu Yunjin merely asked randomly out of anger, however from Ding Xian`s reply there seems to be something else, she raised her eyebrows,

“How so?”“Alas, regarding Third Miss Mu`s jade ornament, his royal highness is not disinclined to return it, it`s just that for his highness the jade is particularly useful.”

Not knowing why, Ding Xian looked at Mu Yunjin although she looked unreasonable, she gives a feeling of trustworthiness, thus he quietly told her,

“I will tell you something but you have to remember not to mention this to other people.”

Mu Yunjin nodded immediately, and curiously approached Ding Xian, waiting for his words.

“Actually His Highness is afflicted with an illness called Bird Blindness ever since he was a child. At night he is not able to see things. These past years His Highness almost never go out at night, even inside the palace the candles are lit until dawn, to avoid unexpected situations to happen. You need to know, with His Highness` ident.i.ty, at anytime it is possible to come across sly forces. If people knew His Highness is suffering from Bird blindness, I don`t know how much trouble it will cause to His Highness. So, this year His Highness continuously avoid the night and inside the palace is always bright with candle light. To prevent raising suspicion from other people, however His Highness` actions is really inconvenient. Therefore, your shining Jade ornament, that is small and lightweight, is easy to carry, is just right to resolve His Highness inconvenience at night.”

After listening to Ding Xian`s speech, Mu Yunjin`s mouth twitched, she subconsciously glanced at the lantern in Ding Xian`s hands, she thought of last night when she sneaked into Chu Li`s bedroom and escaped, she used a black cloth to cover the Jade ornament. No wonder she can easily escape, Chu Li originally has Night Blindness! Being in the dark is the same as being blind, so it gave her the opportunity to escape.

“Third Miss, this matter you cannot mention to others, otherwise it will be big trouble.”

Ding Xian saw the mocking face of Mu Yunjin, he suddenly regrets telling her. Mu Yunjin glances at Ding Xian, and raised her brow, she reached to pat Ding Xian`s shoulder,

“It`ll depend on my mood!”“Must not....”

Ding Xian still has something to say but Mu Yunjin has turned to walk away. Walking along the road out of the Palace, Mu Yunjin`s steps are especially light, her face also cannot conceal her smile, her mind wanders secretly, not aware that Ding Xian this fellow regard her to be a pig teammate. At present, she now have information that can be used against Chu Li, it`s truly good.

..........

The next day, Mu Yunjin had a leisurely day inside the Listening Flower Pavilion, she is pondering on how to take her jade ornament and talk to Chu Li to cancel their engagement and their conditions. She kept thinking, as soon as she cancel her engagement and take the thirty thousand gold pieces, she and Zi Xiang will look for a place where they can live life comfortably. It is better than staying in the Prime Minister`s residence and play mind games. Then a shadow came to the door of the Listening Flower Pavilion, when Mu Yunjin lift her head to look, her eyebrows wrinkled.

“Why did you come?”

It was Ding Xian, he saw Mu yunjin, he touched his nose somewhat uncomfortable he said,

“His Royal highness invites the Third Miss to Ming Fragrant Tea House to meet up.”“Chu Li?”

Mu Yunjin was surprised. And Ding Xian was startled, He did not expect Mu Yunjin to address His Highness with his taboo name, but still nod,

“Yes, His Royal Highness.”

Mu Yunjin heard, she hesitated, Chu Li is looking for her to do what? But thinking about it, she still got up and prepared to follow Ding Xian out, just as she walked, Zi Xiang stopped her.

“Miss, you will go meet with the sixth prince, you need to change clothes!”

Zi Xiang looked at Mu Yunjin`s plain clothing, even her hair haven`t been combed, she felt anxious. Mu Yunjin faced Zi Xiang and waved her hand, she casually combed her hair and muttered,

“It is just meeting the sixth prince nothing more, dressing up, if you are not tired I am tired!”

Ding Xian and Zi Xiang mutually glanced at each other in silence, not daring to retort. Especially Ding Xian, his heart secretly calculating, this Third Miss Mu was grounded inside the Residence, could it be because of her informal nature, with her astonishing speech it is possible to bring disaster to the Prime Minister`s Residence, therefore they simply confined her? Thinking of it Ding Xian felt it is possible. When Mu Yunjin appeared at the lobby, Mu Lingzhu also approached them, wearing a lemon yellow muslin skirt, her hair is pulled in a delicate pigtail, giving an impression of being quick-witted, she was dressed meticulously.

“I heard that the sixth prince invited older sister to Ming Fragrant Tea House, little sister happens to about to invite my sister to have tea, it would be better if elder sister can take younger sister along.”

Mu Lingzhu gave a sweet smile while looking at Mu Yunjin. Mu Yunjin glanced at Mu Lingzhu, she laughed mildly,

“Within the residence younger sister deserve nothing but the first rate carriage made from the red sandalwood tree right? Besides What if we crowd on the carriage?”

When her words sink in, Mu Yunjin and Ding Xian already walked away from the door. Behind, Mu Lingzhu clenched her teeth and stomped her foot, she rolled her eyes, She looked at Hong Xia at the side,

“Where does Wei Hanqiao and Mu Yiyang live nowadays?”“I heard they live at the east side downtown in a broken down house.”

Hong Xia replied.

“Really?”

Mu Lingzhu raised her eyebrow,

“Dispatch a person to go inform Wei Hanxiao, say Mu Yunjin is going to Ming Fragrant Tea House....”“Yes, Miss.”

..........

At the Ming Fragrant Tea House. Mu Yunjin is brought by Ding Xian inside a private room at the second floor, upon entering, she saw a black figure sitting inside, leisurely drinking tea. Mu Yunjin subconsciously stared at Chu Li`s eyes, Ding Xian got scared and immediately pulled Mu Yunjin`s sleeves, he made a signal with his eyes, afraid that she will blurt this matter out.

“In the promised three days there is still one day right? What did the sixth prince invite me out to do today?”

Mu Yunjin rudely sat down, she picked up the teapot and poured herself some tea, and drained the cup in one gulp.

“To ask you to have tea and refreshments.”

Chu Li shoot a glance at Mu Yunjin, to see her wearing a plain colored clothing paired with a simple and slightly messy hair worn in a bun, however he felt it especially nice to look at. Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrow, just as she is pouring her second cup of tea, her hand that is gripping the cup trembled spilling the tea,

“You did not poison this tea right?”

Chu Li laughed grimly, he swayed the teacup in his hand, a pair of radiant and reserved eyes looked straight at Mu Yunjin, and slowly lowered his gaze to Mu Yunjin`s right-hand wrist. Mu Yunjin followed his gaze to her own right-hand, her eyes flickered with a flash of guilt, and hanged her head down. d.a.m.n, Did Chu Li discover that she is the person in black? Looking for her today is it to criticize her violently? She is done for, to explore the imperial palace at night, if he pursues this matter, it will be capital offense not just her but her whole clan! It is only right to rectify the matter and plea for leniency, but a sound of ridiculing laughter came instead.

“Yesterday, you wore a lot of jewelry on your right-hand that it was extremely ugly, you have poor taste. Today it is absolutely bare, it is actually not that irksome.”

Mu Yunjin was stumped for words, she wrinkled her brows, it appears that Chu Li did not speak about her wrist injury, she felt relieved, but to think that Chu Li scold her for having poor taste, Mu Yunjin wants to gouge out Chu Li`s eyes.

“Sixth prince, it seems it is none of your business.”

Mu Yunjin said with a clenched teeth. Just as she intend to continue her words, a sad and shrill shout was suddenly heard from below.

“Mu Yunjin! You little s.l.u.t! You plotted against your elder brother`s life, Slandered your Second Mother for theft, You are simply disgraceful! Little s.l.u.t return my innocence, return my son`s good health! Mu Yunjin! You lowly wench, you actually harmed your second brother, I will pursue this matter to the end! Mu Yunjin.....”

Wei Hanqiao`s cries echoed below, immediately attracting many pa.s.serby to stand in a circle and watch. Inside the private room, Chu Li heard Wei Hanqiao`s voice, slightly raised the tip of his brow, he is actually interested to wait for Mu Yunjin`s reaction.

The next second, he saw Mu Yunjin skillfully grab the teapot on top of the table, and walked to the window at the side, she unlocked the window, opened the lid of the pot, and poured the contents towards Wei Hanqiao who happened to stand below. Wei Hanqiao did not expect that out of the blue liquid tea will fall from above, so she was not able to avoid it, her whole body was covered, in addition the tea was also hot, it made her shriek.

“Mu Yunjin you Ah!.....”

“Shut up!”

Mu Yunjin howled below.

“Outrageous woman, you dare to disturb the sixth prince tea time, are you really tired of living?”

Wei Hanxiao unexpectedly got frightened, her legs can`t stop from shaking.

“The sixth prince?”

d.a.m.n, that little s.l.u.t Hongxia only said that Mu Yunjin is here, but did not say that the sixth prince is also here, does it mean it is deliberate right? but on second thought, Wei Hanqiao suddenly thought that this is the Fourth miss intention, the fourth miss must be taking advantage that the sixth prince is here to be useful in seeking justice. Such a thought, Wei Hanqiao immediately kept yelling.

“Requesting the sixth prince to see this woman! Mu Yunjin made many affairs that offend the heavens and reason! Heaven cannot tolerate her!”

Ooooh! A person came seeking to be slapped in the face! hahaha

Novel Villains somehow always deliver themselves voluntarily in a silver platter to the protagonists to be slapped and humiliated.

Night Blindness or Nyctalopia is a real medical condition wherein a person has inability to see well in the dark or poor light.

See you tomorrow to see how Mu Yunjin will deal with her.
