Chapter 153 Is it jealousy or protectiveness?
Luohua Pavilion in the west of the capital city.
The young man in blue lay softly on the rattan chair, his eyes closed.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves overhead, casting a warm glow on his handsome face, creating a sense of tranquility that one hesitated to disturb.
However, Feng Yue was here on his master's orders, so he had no choice but to disturb him.
Before Feng Yue could even get close, the two maids beside the young man in blue softly called out "Young Master" and then said, "Someone is here to see you."
The young master didn't even open his eyes, frowned his handsome brows, and said impatiently, "I won't see you. Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm resting? Get out!"
The two maids glanced awkwardly at Feng Yue, who was standing right in front of them.
Feng Yue waved to the two of them, indicating that they could leave.
The two knew Feng Yue and that he was one of the King of Qin's men, so they avoided him without worry.
"Young Master Lu, how have you been?"
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Yifeng's handsome brows furrowed instantly.
He sat up with a jolt, looking at Feng Yue in front of him with obvious disdain on his face.
"What happened? Who got hurt this time?"
Young Master Lu was very depressed.
Even though he was a poison master, the kind who only knew how to poison and not how to cure, Murong Jing kept forcing him to save lives.
He was clearly trying to kill people!
Feng Yue first bowed respectfully, and then said, "This is not my master's business. My master asked Young Master Lu to go because of your Xiaoyao Sect."
Lu Yifeng was taken aback for a moment.
A complex look flashed in his eyes before he finally asked with some curiosity, "What could possibly happen to my Xiaoyao Sect?"
Feng Yue naturally noticed Lu Yifeng's hesitation.
Lu Yifeng's current identity is somewhat awkward. Few people know that the world-renowned Poison Immortal is the only son of Lu Xunliang, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Since Lu Xunliang disappeared a few years ago, a struggle for leadership has gradually arisen within the Xiaoyao Sect.
At this time, Lu Yifeng, Lu Xunliang's only son, ran away. Although he was the son of the sect leader, he did not have the sect leader's token, so he could not convince the others.
However, in the past few years, the Xiaoyao Sect has not elected a new sect leader. The sect affairs are managed by two hall masters and four elders.
Therefore, when Lu Yifeng first heard that the matter concerned the Xiaoyao Sect, although he was concerned, his identity was somewhat awkward.
Feng Yue said, "I don't know the specifics either. Young Master Lu will know once he sees the master."
Feng Yue was indeed unaware that he was not present when Yin Shuang told Murong Jing about the sect leader's order.
Lu Yifeng lazily curled up back in his recliner.
He said calmly, "Let me think about this. You go back and tell your master that you will go to see him once you have thought it through."
Feng Yue panicked.
When will Lu Yifeng finally figure it out?
Just based on the fact that Lu Yifeng escaped from Xiaoyao Sect back then, you can tell that he won't be able to figure it out for a while.
Regardless of whether it was respectful or not, Feng Yue stood by the recliner and pretended to lift the man up: "My master said that we must invite Young Master Lu over. This matter cannot wait."
"What's the rush? It's not like your wife ran away!"
Lu Yifeng said irritably.
Feng Yue's mother's heart was ignited again by these words. She coughed, cleared her throat, and said mysteriously, "Young Master Lu is right. My master has indeed been troubled by this matter recently. If Young Master Lu wants to watch the show, you'd better leave quickly."
Feng Yue's words were indeed effective.
Lu Yifeng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He sat up abruptly from the recliner and loudly ordered the maid standing some distance away, "Go, bring me my flowing cloud brocade robe. This young master wants to go and watch the excitement in style!"
The maidservant responded and ran away.
Feng Yue's lips twitched.
To go in style and have a good time, and to come back in style after watching the show, that's real skill!
So Lu Yifeng, dressed in a very flamboyant manner, followed Feng Yue to the Prince of Qin's residence.

After Su Mowan returned to Huangfeng Garden, she asked Yinshuang to prepare a gift.
After all, two women are coming to the manor tomorrow, one of whom, Liu Ruxu, is related to her. She should at least show some courtesy.
This time, however, Yinshuang did not move.
She asked, quite puzzled, "Consort Su, why do you look, cough, so happy?"
In her opinion, even if Consort Su didn't have any extra feelings for the prince, she should still be disgusted by these 'flower butterflies' in her position.
After all, the more women there are in the backyard, the more trouble there will be.
Su Mowan lay down on the low couch and sighed comfortably.
She lifted her eyelids slightly: "You don't know this, right now it's just me and Shen Muyue in the backyard, and she's been keeping an eye on me and causing trouble every day. But once the two new people come in tomorrow, she won't have time for me anymore."
"While that makes sense, however—"
"Don't be so lenient. I haven't settled the score with you for last night. You were the one who put the vinegar in, weren't you? Well done, you're getting bolder and bolder."
When Su Mowan came back and thought about it, she understood what had happened. She just didn't quite understand why Yinshuang would suddenly do something like that.
When Yinshuang saw that she had been exposed, she showed no embarrassment or guilt on her face, but instead laughed.
"Didn't you say last time that His Highness doesn't like being jealous? What happened last night proves that His Highness can still be jealous."
"Oh, so that's where you were waiting for me."
Su Mowan was also amused.
Yinshuang's words had a hidden meaning, and she understood it perfectly.
Although Murong Jing often forbade her to see this or do that, which can be roughly attributed to 'jealousy', she had thought so for a few moments.
However, after learning that Su Mobai had done the "entrusting the orphan" thing, Su Mowan automatically interpreted Murong Jing's actions as "protecting his own offspring".
"Don't laugh, there will be times when you can't laugh anymore."
Yin Shuang sighed.
Originally, it was the prince who was oblivious, which worried everyone. Now, it's Consort Su who is oblivious, and they are the ones who are anxious.
Su Mowan rolled her peach blossom eyes, the upturned corners revealing a hint of allure.
“I’ve noticed that you’re incredibly fearless right now. If there ever comes a day when I can’t laugh anymore, I’ll make you all cry first.”
Yinshuang lowered her eyes silently: "If that day ever comes, I'm willing to cry."
Su Mowan: "..."

In the Fenghua Palace, Feng Yue invited Lu Yifeng to the study.
As soon as Murong Jing looked up, he saw Lu Yifeng, dressed in a light blue brocade robe with flowing clouds, appear before him in an instant, his expression playful.
"I thought you wouldn't arrive so quickly."
Lu Yifeng dragged a chair over and sat down at another desk, then said to Feng Yue, who was standing quietly to the side, "Quickly serve me some tea!"
Feng Yue silently wiped away a bead of sweat.
Is this preparation for the big gossip later?
If the prince finds out what he and Young Master Lu revealed, his life will be in grave danger!
After Feng Yue turned around and left, closing the door behind him, Lu Yifeng couldn't hold back any longer. He asked urgently, "What happened to the Xiaoyao Sect?"
Compared to his anxiety, His Highness the Prince of Qin appeared much calmer.
"The one in trouble is not the Xiaoyao Sect, but me."
