The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 160

Mu Wenchen walked back to Rufeng's room, and as soon as he knocked and entered, he saw Rufeng and Zuiyue having dinner. He then realized that he had been so engrossed in dealing with Rufeng that he had forgotten to ask Mu Tong to help Rufeng cook.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Ru Feng, do you still want to eat the food that Mu Tong makes?"

Unexpectedly, Ru Feng merely glanced at Mu Wenchen lazily and said, "Never mind, I've lost my appetite."

Zuiyue, standing to the side, shook her head and sighed inwardly. She figured her senior brother was probably thinking about something again. So she quickly finished her meal, packed her things, and hurried out.

Mu Wenchen closed the door, then glanced at the glowing luminous pearl and said softly, "Rufeng, what's wrong?" He was very sensitive to Rufeng's emotions now, and he could sense even the slightest change in her mood.

Ru Feng collapsed onto the bed and sighed, "Oh dear, my bra is ruined. How am I supposed to disguise my breasts now?"

Mu Wenchen sat down, puzzled, and asked, "Why do you need to fake your chest?"

Ru Feng pouted and said, "Then how do you think I got my flat chest? Isn't it all thanks to that little garment you cut up?" As she spoke, she threw the little garment from under the pillow at him.

Mu Wenchen took it, thought for a while, and then said, "After we return to the capital, I will give you another precious garment, which is also resistant to swords and spears."

Ru Feng rummaged around under the other pillow and finally pulled out the diamond. He chuckled and said, "Are you sure you can't even penetrate this?" Because he relied too much on Xiao Yi, when Ru Feng sensed danger last time, he didn't try his best to dodge because he had the treasure armor protecting him. Instead, he was preparing to turn back and check on Mu Wenchen.

Therefore, it's best to understand the function of the items beforehand.

Mu Wenchen examined the tattered clothes for a while before saying, "Mine is much better than this one; it won't be see-through."

Hearing this, Ru Feng believed him. Anyway, it wouldn't be too late to try it on when Bao Yi arrived. But right now, the most urgent thing was to solve the problem of her flat chest.

After careful consideration, Ru Feng finally remembered the remaining piece of armor. The soft armor that had been made along with the camouflage uniform should still exist; his original one had been taken by Yun Tianze. Therefore, wearing the soft armor would likely make his chest area flatter and more rigid.

After resolving the problem, Ru Feng's mood improved. She then saw Mu Wenchen talking to Mu Tong and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Ru Feng, what would you like to eat? I haven't eaten yet, so I'd like Mu Tong to make it."

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Great! I have an appetite now. I want to eat meat, any kind of meat will do."

Mu Wenchen smiled slightly and said, "Ignore her. Just make a few light dishes. She can't eat meat right now."

Ru Feng's face immediately fell, and he said unhappily, "Since my opinion is useless, why did you even ask me?" Isn't this just deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?

Mu Wenchen simply patted Rufeng's head, smiled, and said, "You're still not fully recovered and are quite weak, so just bear with it for now."

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng's heart immediately softened, and she said softly, "How annoying, you always treat me like this." As long as Mu Wenchen smiled gently at her, she had almost no ability to resist.

The two leaned against each other and whispered sweet nothings for a while. Mu Wenchen also gave a general overview of the situation in the capital so that Ru Feng could be mentally prepared.

Ru Feng lay in his arms, frowning as she asked, "Wen Chen, how do you think I should reveal my identity to the Emperor? It doesn't seem right to just say it directly, but I'm afraid he'll want me to be stationed on the frontier or something. And if my identity can't be restored, I can't be with you openly. Right now, because we're on the frontier, my grandfather doesn't care, so we can be so comfortable together. But I'm afraid it won't be so easy once we return to the capital."

The capital city, as the political, economic, and cultural center of the country, is certainly more prosperous than other places. There are also many high-ranking officials and nobles there, which means there are many spies. So, when the two want to be intimate, they will probably have to hide and be secretive, which is quite unpleasant.

Mu Wenchen thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's a problem."

Ru Feng waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't move, she had no choice but to tug at his sleeve and ask, "And then? Nothing more?"

Mu Wenchen closed his eyes, rested his head on Ru Feng's head, and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll help you. I'll take care of everything."

Ru Feng's heart immediately calmed down. Even if Mu Wenchen couldn't do it, she would still be happy because someone was sharing her troubles.

Mu Wenchen stroked Ru Feng's hair, and after thinking it over, decided to say it sooner rather than later: "Ru Feng, I have something to tell you."

Ru Feng felt very comfortable being stroked and was almost drowsy. Upon hearing this, he casually replied, "Go ahead and say it!"

Mu Wenchen loosened his hair, which was as smooth as the wind, and said softly, "My brother wants me to return to the capital now, saying that he has important matters to discuss. I guess it's about the struggle for the crown prince again, so I have to go back tomorrow."

"What?!" Ru Feng shouted, scrambling to his feet and shoving Mu Wenchen to the ground. "You said you'd come back to the capital with me!" he yelled. "He's not here anymore! Won't the long journey be incredibly boring? I even planned to sneak off with him to have some fun on my own! And now he's pulled this trick on me. Damn it, what's that emperor thinking? He keeps trying to keep Wenchen by his side."

Mu Wenchen smiled wryly. Luckily, he had already let go of Ru Feng's hair, otherwise the little guy would have been in so much pain. But now, looking at Ru Feng's fierce expression, he realized that all he could do was smile wryly.

"This time it was my fault." That's all I can say.

Ru Feng sighed and collapsed weakly onto the soft bed. She glanced at Mu Wenchen with a mournful look and said, "Fine, go ahead. The emperor is the greatest." This was, after all, a feudal society ruled by the emperor, and she couldn't let Mu Wenchen offend the emperor for her sake.

Mu Wenchen breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, he had wanted to talk about Rufeng's matter when he got back, just to get a feel for his brother's opinion. Seeing that Rufeng had stopped making a fuss, he was happy and quickly grabbed Rufeng, and the two of them were entangled together again.

Mu Wenchen acted swiftly, making his move as soon as he identified his target, while Ru Feng was half-hearted and half-willing, so in no time, the two were embracing each other, their panting sounds filling the air.

Just as the fight was getting intense, they heard Zhou Qian's voice from outside the door, saying, "Master, Marshal Yuchi is coming this way."

A bucket of cold water was poured on him, and Ru Feng immediately wilted.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Wenchen pulled Rufeng up and helped her straighten her clothes.

Seeing this, Ru Feng quickly burrowed into the blankets, then touched his warm face and said, "Something's wrong with you right now, so quickly become invisible. My grandfather is very shrewd; he'll be able to tell if the two of us are together."

Because Ru Feng insisted, Mu Wenchen had no choice but to disappear.

Ru Feng lay on the bed, staring weakly at the door.

Sure enough, after a while, Yuchi Huaiyang came in, asked about Rufeng's health, and then asked directly, "Rufeng, what are your plans after returning to the capital?"

Ru Feng, with only his head peeking out, smiled and asked, "Grandpa, what are your plans for me?"

Yu Chi Huaiyang affectionately stroked Ru Feng's hair and said, "Grandpa is really happy. You did a great job. When you go back this time, the Emperor will probably reward you. Also, I learned today that Fanlu Kingdom seems to be preparing for war as well. They want to take advantage of our empty treasury after we just finished fighting Chun Teng Kingdom. So you may be sent there. The generals there are also very capable. Maybe you will just be going there to gain some experience."

Ru Feng almost jumped up, but she tried to remain calm and asked, "Grandpa, does this mean we're going to war again? But didn't we sign an alliance agreement with the Spring Vine Kingdom? So the Flourishing Kingdom shouldn't cause us any trouble, right? Besides, the Photinia Kingdom is our in-law country!" Good heavens, can we even fight? I hope we don't go to war.

Yu Chi Huaiyang frowned and said, "Don't you dare to go? I didn't say we were going to fight, I just said it's possible."

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng clenched his fist and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, as long as the country needs me, I am willing to give everything for it! I would even risk my life for it!" His tone was so passionate that it made Yu Chi Huaiyang's heart flutter with joy.

Ru Feng felt bitter and mentally crossed herself out. "I just want to live a happy life. I don't need to fight. So what I said earlier doesn't count."
