The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 157

Ru Feng replied with a grin, "I touched you because I like you."

Mu Wenchen shook his head affectionately, patted Rufeng's head, and said, "Then you should rest well. Yuxuan just called me about something, so I'll go out for a bit."

Speaking of Yu Xuan, Ru Feng asked with concern, "Did he notice anything wrong just now? We were doing this in there." The thought of Yu Xuan hearing her moans made her feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Mu Wenchen said nonchalantly, "Even if he does find out, I won't let him tell anyone." With that, he stood up and turned to leave.

Ru Feng tugged at Mu Wenchen's sleeve and solemnly instructed, "Wenchen, when you go out, you must not talk about our relationship, and don't show me such an obvious attitude. Just treat me like your teacher, and treat me like a student you like. Otherwise, everyone will know that I'm a girl. Is that okay?" As she spoke, she looked at Wenchen pitifully.

Seeing this, Mu Wenchen could only nod in agreement and said softly, "Don't worry, I know your concerns. Once we return to the capital and you are restored to your female identity, I will treat you openly and honestly."

Ru Feng then happily kissed Mu Wenchen's cheek and said, "Mu Mu, you're so good!"

Mu Wenchen chuckled to himself for a while, until Ru Feng urged him on, then he turned and left.

After Mu Wenchen left, Ru Feng sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then chuckled to himself before remembering his business.

Her hand groped under the pillow for a while, and she took out the small garment that Mu Wenchen had cut. Looking at the torn piece of leather, Ru Feng became distressed.

So the so-called invulnerability to swords and spears is actually pierced by diamonds. It seems that whoever ambushed me that day must have known I was wearing a magical garment, which is why they used an indestructible diamond to shoot at me. But now that garment is damaged, even a small knife can cut through it. What am I supposed to do with men's clothing now?

Touching her forehead, Ru Feng frowned. Did she have to wrap it in layers of white cloth? Putting aside whether it would affect her breast development, there was already so much to do every morning.

Oh dear, what should I do? Ru Feng looked at his face and fell into deep thought.

While she was thinking, she heard a knock on the door and Zuiyue's voice. Rufeng quickly let her in.

"Senior brother, are you feeling better?" Zuiyue walked to the bedside and asked with a smile.

Ru Feng waved his hand and said, "Apart from being a little itchy, I'm fine." With this wave, Ru Feng realized that he had regained his strength without even realizing it. Not long ago, he had even had difficulty raising his hand.

Zuiyue observed Rufeng's actions and examined him again before smiling ambiguously, "Senior brother, your injury was treated with the best medicine and you ate the best food. In addition, Mu Wenchen transferred some internal energy to you just now, which is why you were able to recover so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng was taken aback and said, "Why didn't I see him channeling his internal energy into me?"

Zuiyue tidied up Rufeng's messy bed and laughed, "How would I know when he lost to you? Probably when you were sleeping."

Ru Feng thought for a moment and nodded. No wonder he slept so comfortably that night, feeling warm all over. It must have been Mu Wenchen who helped him channel his internal energy. For a martial artist, internal energy is the hardest thing to obtain, so ordinary people cherish it. Given his current recovery, Mu Wenchen must have lost a significant amount to him.

Ru Feng felt a warmth in his heart, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Zuiyue understood and said softly, "Senior brother, it seems that Mu Wenchen is really good to you? I just don't know what his identity is? The Third Prince seems to treat him very respectfully."

When Zuiyue mentioned this, Rufeng remembered Mu Wenchen's true identity. Then, thinking of Yuxuan and Yujue, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hehe, his identity is the emperor's younger brother, and also Yuxuan's royal uncle!" Thinking that after she and Mu Wenchen got married in the future, the two of them would have to call her aunt, Rufeng couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Auntie! Although she calls herself old, having two nephews older than her is something to be proud of! Hehe... Ru Feng chuckled foolishly.

Zuiyue shook her head, realizing why Rufeng was happy, but she still had some worries.

"Senior brother, what should we do about your identity now?"

Ru Feng's face immediately fell, and she returned to reality. These past few days she had focused solely on Mu Wenchen, the two of them so engrossed in their romance, thinking of nothing else. But now, it was time to start thinking.

First of all, even if I wanted to resign, I would need an excuse, and I wouldn't be able to get past my grandfather. If I told him the truth about my identity, he would probably be furious, and in the end, even if it wasn't me who suffered, it would be my parents.

Then, even if his grandfather agreed to his resignation, it was still the emperor's approval. The crime of deceiving the emperor was not something that could be easily resolved. Although the Yuchi family was loyal and brave, and had made great contributions to the country by guarding the border, the so-called "merits overshadowing the emperor" meant that if the emperor wanted to eliminate the Yuchi family, wouldn't that just be a legitimate excuse for him? It didn't matter if he died, but what about his family?

As soon as Ru Feng thought about it, her brows furrowed. Even though she was Yu Jue and Yu Xuan's good friend and Mu Wen Chen's girlfriend, their power came from the emperor. If the emperor insisted, what could they do?

Thinking of Mu Wenchen's words, Ru Feng smiled bitterly. Mu Wenchen could save her, but could he save her other relatives? Moreover, given her grandfather's personality, even if he were rescued, he probably wouldn't live a life of shame and would likely commit suicide. Her grandfather always valued the interests of the country and the reputation of the family above all else. If the Yuchi family was wiped out because of her disguise as a man, her grandfather would probably still be looking for trouble with her even after he died. Thinking about this, Ru Feng felt that she had already become a culprit.

Zuiyue sighed secretly beside her. Just then, Zuizhu and Nanshan walked in. Neither of them knew Rufeng's true identity, so compared to Zuiyue and Rufeng's worried faces, their expressions could be described as very happy.

Ru Feng temporarily set aside his worries and asked instead, "Is there anything to be happy about?"

Zui Zhu ran up first and sat down next to Ru Feng, saying in a coquettish tone, "Senior brother, guess what news I just heard?"

Ru Feng pondered for a while before saying, "Could it be that the Emperor has some kind of reward?" He remembered that Yu Xuan had just said that the Emperor had a message for Wen Chen, so it must be an order from the Emperor. Now that they have won the battle, the Emperor must reward them since he asked for their help.

Nanshan chimed in, "I knew you were amazing, Senior Brother. The Crown Prince is rewarding the soldiers on behalf of the Emperor, and they're planning a big feast tonight. Many people have received titles and honors, but yours hasn't arrived yet. You have to return to the capital to meet the Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng quickly asked, "How is my grandfather?" Since waking up from her coma, she had had very few opportunities to see her grandfather. Firstly, she was afraid he would discover her identity, so Zui Yue had intentionally or unintentionally blocked her grandfather from seeing her. Secondly, her grandfather was still the leader of the army, so there was a lot of follow-up work to be done.

Zui Zhu interjected, "Of course he's very happy. These past few days he's been asking everyone he meets about his senior brother, he's having a great time." As he spoke, he glared at Nan Shan, accusing him of stealing his topic.

Nanshan could only shut up, feeling wronged. Wasn't he just trying to make his senior brother happy? These past few days, Zuiyue had forbidden him from visiting his senior brother's illness, and he missed his senior brother too.

Ru Feng and Zui Yue's faces immediately fell. Zui Zhu, unaware of what was going on, still said excitedly, "Senior brother, I heard Grandpa Yuchi and the Deputy Marshal say that he is very satisfied with you and wants to go home to enjoy his retirement. Then he will hand over the army to you young people. Senior brother, you are really amazing!"

His face was full of excitement and admiration, and he was about to rush over and hug Rufeng.

Just as Zui Zhu was chuckling to herself for getting the better deal, she noticed Nan Shan expressionlessly lifting her away.

Seeing the obvious tension between them, Ru Feng quickly spoke up, "Zui Zhu, I see you have an injury on your hand. Did something happen?" He gave Nan Shan a grateful smile. He was only wearing an outer robe, and if he hugged her like this, Zui Zhu would probably know his identity, not to mention the injury. Zui Zhu was always straightforward and couldn't keep secrets; he'd probably inadvertently reveal them, so it was best not to tell her for now. As for Nan Shan…

As Ru Feng was pondering, Zui Zhu said indignantly, "It's all because of Mu Wen Chen's follower, Mu Tong. That guy didn't even care that I'm a weak woman. He was very ruthless towards me and didn't give me any face at all." As she spoke, she revealed her injured arm. Actually, there was only a small, very light scratch on it, but since her senior brother was so concerned about her, Zui Zhu naturally had to show it.

Nanshan looked distressed, but his words were anything but polite: "You brought this on yourself. It's all because you were too reckless and foolishly went to challenge them."

Ru Feng smiled slightly and said, "Let's apply the medicine. It's not good for a girl to have scars."

Zuiyue nodded, but in her mind she thought of the wounds on her senior brother's back and feet. Those were injuries sustained in battle. Although they were not fatal, some of them still left scars. So, although she felt that Zuizhu's wounds were nothing, she still took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Nanshan, who happily accepted it.

Sigh, even though Senior Brother has an ambiguous relationship with Mu Wenchen now, he still doesn't seem to consider himself a woman. She feels sorry for Zui Zhu's wounds, but why doesn't she feel sorry for her own wounds?

The four chatted for a while longer, talking about the situation on the mountain, which made Ru Feng very happy and temporarily put his worries aside.

Zui Zhu sighed, "Alas, we don't even know where Han Shan is now. He's the only one of the five of us missing."
