Rebirth of the Return of Chu

The next morning, just as Mu Chu was about to go down the mountain, Gu Qing came up and said that he was worried about her and was afraid that there were wild animals in the mountains and it was not safe.

Mu Chu felt that although Gu Qing was not talkative, he was a very warm person who always took care of him.

Gu Qing took Mu Chu for a walk in the mountains and picked a lot of herbs. Mu Chu knew most of them, after all, he had studied them seriously.

Near noon, Gu Qing took Mu Chu back to Taohua Valley and personally taught her how to deal with it in the afternoon.

The day passed quickly. Mu Chu was almost exhausted and did not see his master. From what Gu Qing said, his master was a casual person. He would not stay all the time and would often go down the mountain.

There were not many changes in the following days. Mu Chu still followed Gu Qing to collect herbs. Gu Qing also taught her patiently, making it seem as if Gu Qing was her master.

About a month later, one evening, Mu Chu was leading Taxue leisurely walking up the mountain. He saw the white shadow at the door from a long distance. It was particularly eye-catching. His heart suddenly tightened. It was him who came back.

Mu Chu walked upstairs quickly, and Qin Yuanyi also saw her and walked downstairs with big strides. Soon they met. Mu Chu stood looking at him, and tears fell before she could say a word.

"Chu'er, I'm back, silly girl, why are you crying? Did your master teach you a lesson? Or did Gu Qing bully you?" His voice was so gentle and doting.

Mu Chu's tears fell even harder, his eyes full of grievance, "Why don't you write back to me? The snow is gone, the grass is so tall, the flowers are blooming, why don't you keep your promise, wuwuwu..."

Gu Yuanyi reached out his hand to wipe her tears, "Silly girl, don't cry, I'm back now. The prince was assassinated and disappeared, and the emperor asked your father to secretly look for him. I just went to help and didn't have time to reply to your letter. I will remember it later and I will definitely reply to you."

"Has the prince been found?"

"I found it, but someone plotted against him. He might be disabled for life. I'm afraid he'll have to spend the rest of his life in bed."

Mu Chu was shocked. Although he knew that the fight for the throne in ancient times was cruel, he had never experienced that era in person. Now he was in this era. Looking at Gu Yuanyi's exhausted face, he asked, "That's dangerous, right? Are you injured? What about my father? Is he okay?"

Gu Yuanyi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's okay, and your father is fine too. Let's go, it's getting dark, and Xiaotao is waiting for us to eat."

Mu Chu's anger subsided, and he followed Qin Yuanyi up the mountain. "Chu'er, aren't you afraid of walking on the mountain road alone? Why don't you let Xiao Tao accompany you?"

"I'm not afraid. I'm used to it. Xiao Tao has a lot of things to do. It would be very tiring for her to follow me back all the time. Besides, my senior brother would send me off every day. He didn't send me off today because he received a message from Master in the afternoon. He told me to go home early. I was so engrossed in reading that I didn't notice it until dark. Besides, I walked on the snow."

"Senior Brother? Gu Qing?" Qin Yuanyi looked at Mu Chu.

"Yes, who else could it be?" Mu Chu looked calm.

Qin Yuanyi frowned and said, "Chu'er, there are differences between men and women. Don't let Gu Qing send you home every day in the future."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Chu got a little angry when he heard it. Why were people in ancient times so pedantic? He puffed up his cheeks and rushed to say, "Then it won't be dangerous for me to be alone?"

"I'll pick you up later." Qin Yuanyi said gently.

Mu Chu's anger disappeared immediately.

The two of them returned to the bamboo house as they talked. Ever since he knew that it was a fake Floating Cloud Pavilion, Mu Chu got used to separating this place from the Floating Cloud Pavilion and called this place the Bamboo House.

When they got home, Xiao Tao had already prepared the meal. After washing their hands, they sat down to eat. Mu Chu was confused and asked directly, "Sister Mingyue and the others haven't come back yet?"

"She was injured a little, so I arranged for her to recuperate." Qin Yuanyi didn't say much, picked up the dishes and put them into Mu Chu's bowl, "You are too thin, eat more."

Mu Chu finished her meal happily. Qin Yuanyi brought her a bunch of food, which were obviously gifts from her father, as well as some beautiful hairpins. Mu Chu picked out a special moon-shaped hairpin and asked Xiao Tao to put the rest away. Then she went to rest happily.

What Mu Chu didn't know was that Qin Yuanyi almost couldn't come back this time. In order to save the prince and his eldest brother, he and Mingyue were seriously injured and unconscious for a long time.

During the days of coma, he heard Wang Xing telling him about Chu'er's letter and her eagerness for his return, as well as her worries and complaints.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to rush back so as not to make the little girl who was worried about him sad. He lost the love of his parents at a very young age and had been shouldering everything by himself until now. The appearance of the little girl made him feel unprecedented warmth.
