Chapter 299: Confession
Chapter 299: Confession
10-24
Hiding within the dense forest had its advantages and disadvantages when it came to eluding the falcon's search.
The falcon had to exert great effort to find something twitching through the gaps in the tree branches.
Assuming it was prey, it swooped down for a closer look.
It was Luo San.
In the falcon's perception, Luo San was equivalent to two strips of jerky.
Just two strips, not even worth the effort.
The falcon disdainfully flapped its wings, giving Luo San a slap!
By the time Meng Qianqian arrived at the scene, Luo San's right cheek had swollen into a bun, and the human skin mask could no longer conceal it.
The falcon innocently sidestepped.
As if to say, it wasn't me.
Then, it swiftly swept away a piece of broken feather from Luo San's mouth with its wings.
Meng Qianqian: "..."
Meng Qianqian carefully examined Luo San's condition. She was surprised to find that she hadn't injured him this badly.
How did his wounds also swell, and how did he get poisoned? Meng Qianqian discovered a remaining half-eaten fruit on the ground.
"You ate a poisonous fruit that even birds wouldn't touch? In the mountains, the more beautiful something is, the more toxic it tends to be. Don't you even know this basic knowledge?"
Princess Wanping, who was sitting under a big tree eating fruit, sneezed for no apparent reason.
"Why couldn't you just surrender obediently? You had to put on this show."
Meng Qianqian clicked her tongue in exasperation and took out the Golden Silkworm Toxin to detoxify Luo San. As for his wounds, she let him suffer for a while, as he had brought it upon himself.
However, she genuinely couldn't understand. Had Luo San become delirious from the poison? Why did he use salt and wine to treat his wounds?
"He's lost his mind!"
Meng Qianqian slapped Luo San's forehead.
Princess Wanping, on the other side, sneezed heavily again.
Meng Qianqian carried Luo San and walked, only to collide with Lord Changkuan coming from the opposite direction.
"Lady Lu?"
"Lord Chang."
Both were startled.
Lord Changkuan couldn't understand why Meng Qianqian was carrying a large man on her back, while Meng Qianqian wondered why Lord Changkuan was there.
"Why are you here? Where's Princess Wanping?"
Meng Qianqian asked.
Lord Changkuan replied, "I just went to scout the area. The Princess is nearby."
"Hiss—"
Meng Qianqian sucked in a breath through her teeth in annoyance. What a disobedient and rebellious disciple!
Lord Changkuan's gaze lingered on Luo San's face for a moment, and he asked curiously, "Lady Lu, what happened to the Marquis?"
"Did something happen to him?"
Meng Qianqian was taken aback. Seeing Lord Changkuan looking at Luo San on her shoulder, she suddenly remembered that Luo San was wearing Lu Yuan's human skin mask.
The right side of his face was slightly exposed, and the left side was coincidentally turned towards Lord Changkuan.
Just as Meng Qianqian was about to explain that he wasn't Lu Yuan but an imposter, Princess Wanping arrived, following the sound of their voices.
"Meng Xiaojiu, I heard your voice just now, and it was indeed you!"
Meng Qianqian smiled and turned around, carrying Luo San, "Princess!"
Lord Changkuan bowed in greeting.
Princess Wanping gestured for him to stand at ease.
She walked up to Meng Qianqian, glared at Lu Yuan, and asked with a furrowed brow, "How did he end up like this?"
The once-esteemed Marquis now looked almost like a beggar, being carried on a woman's shoulder—a complete loss of manliness! She had been blind...truly blind...
Princess Wanping took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and clutched her handkerchief tightly as she asked, "After he returned from court, was he also like this?"
"Morality?"
Meng Qianqian blinked.
Princess Wanping spoke calmly, "Earlier, I kindly offered to treat his injuries, but he kept complaining. He objected to everything I did, constantly finding fault with me, and even distrusting my medical skills."
Meng Qianqian: Do you have medical skills? Who taught you?
"Wait, you treated his injuries just now?"
Princess Wanping replied with lingering resentment, "Of course. Who else would be so kind? He's a notorious traitor in the court, and I was foolish enough to trust him in the past. Now that his true nature is exposed, he's proven to be so despicable! I've truly misplaced my sincere heart!"
Luo San regained some consciousness and slowly turned his head.
As the man was about to reveal his right face, Meng Qianqian slapped him unconscious and reprimanded sternly, "How dare you blame the Princess for her mistakes? Who gave you the courage?"
Wanping Princess: ... There's no need for that.
The mountain weather is unpredictable, and soon it started pouring rain again.
"Princess, there's a cave ahead. Let's take shelter from the rain for a while."
"That's a good idea."
"Lady Lu, I'll carry Marquis Luo."
"Thank you, Lord Chang!"
Meng Qianqian handed Luo San over to Changkuan, feeling much lighter.
The four of them entered the cave to take shelter from the rain.
While Lord Chang was busy starting a fire and the Wanping Princess was warming herself by it, Meng Qianqian secretly applied Miaojiang's swelling relief potion to Luo San.
Luo San's face quickly returned to normal, and the human skin mask finally fit seamlessly.
Lord Chang had two rabbits with him, which he took outside to clean before bringing them into the cave. He evenly applied the seasonings he had previously asked Meng Qianqian for onto the rabbits.
"Princess..."
"Do you think, with such heavy rain, the Golden-Eyed Tiger will hide?"
Meng Qianqian and the Wanping Princess spoke simultaneously.
Meng Qianqian touched her forehead.
Princess, can we not be so obsessed with the Golden-Eyed Tiger?
The Wanping Princess spoke coldly, "Did the Heavenly Astronomical Bureau choose a day when it couldn't even predict the rain?"
Meng Qianqian: The worse the weather, the better for military training. After all, battles don't wait for wind and rain.
The Wanping Princess sighed, "Never mind. Asking you is useless; you don't understand. Speaking of which, how do you endure Lu Yuan?"
"Ah?" Meng Qianqian's heart was pounding.
The Wanping Princess glanced at the unconscious Lu Yuan on the ground, deliberately arranged by Meng Qianqian to look disheveled, "You haven't answered this princess. Is he like this at home too? Or is it just because he's injured, and he lost his composure momentarily?"
Meng Qianqian said with a pained expression, "Princess, he's like this in private... You don't know... After marrying him... I only found out... He's actually... that kind of person!"
"Meng Xiaojiu, what kind of person do you think this commander is?"
Lu Yuan's icy voice suddenly came from the cave entrance.
Meng Qianqian's whole body trembled as if struck by lightning, and she looked outside in shock.
There, Lu Yuan stood, wearing a silver cloak and just removing his bamboo hat, staring at her with cold eyes.
The Wanping Princess and Lord Chang were both stunned.
What's going on?
Why is there another Lu Yuan?
Meng Qianqian's eyes flashed, and she drew her sword, "Luo San! It's you again! You injured my husband! I was looking for you, but I never thought you'd walk into my trap!"
She swung her sword towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan didn't even lift an eyelid.
Her sword blade stopped just half an inch from Lu Yuan's neck before she managed to restrain herself.
Why don't you dodge?
Aren't you afraid I won't be able to stop? Luo San always claimed he had no flaws, but even Meng Qianqian only realized later that he was actually full of flaws.
Lu Yuan's courage and strategic mind were something Luo San could never imitate.
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow at Meng Qianqian.
Meng Qianqian spoke softly, "I'll explain later. For now, pretend to be Luo San."
Lu Yuan replied indifferently, "This commander doesn't want to."
Meng Qianqian was desperate.
It was so hard to make Luo San break the Wanping Princess's attachment to Lu Yuan, but now you appear in person, isn't it a wasted effort?
A rare opportunity, a chance that shouldn't be missed, and it won't come again!
Meng Qianqian looked at him with pleading eyes: Just once, just once!
Lu Yuan silently said: No.
Meng Qianqian gritted her teeth and pushed him against the wall outside the cave, protecting his waist with her arm to keep the hard stone wall from hitting him, "Luo San! You're seeking death!"
After she finished speaking loudly, she tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "Xiao Jiu loves you!"
