The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 180

At this moment, Ru Feng stood in front of a small stall, stretched out his hands, looked at the bright red shrimp, let out a burp, but his expression was one of deep drooling.

Mu Wenchen carefully wiped Ru Feng's dirty hands clean. Looking at Ru Feng's appearance, he chuckled and said, "You've eaten enough. You're not allowed to eat anymore. Let's come again tomorrow night, so you don't have an upset stomach." After saying that, his eyes seemed to be looking behind him unintentionally.

Ru Feng stared blankly at the shrimp, then turned her head and looked at Mu Wenchen with displeasure: "But I still want to eat it."

Mu Wenchen smiled, glanced at her stomach, and said nothing.

Ru Feng followed his gaze and saw that her clothes, which were originally designed to be form-fitting, were now slightly bulging due to her recent feasting.

Women value their figure and appearance the most, so Ru Feng immediately became shy and angrily said, "Who told you to buy such tight clothes!" But she was most annoyed with herself. How could she have eaten so much that her belly was bulging out, and Mu Wenchen had seen it? It was so embarrassing.

Mu Wenchen soothed her gently, "Next time I'll make something that fits better. Be good, Rufeng. Shall we go back now? It's getting late. I'll bring you back tomorrow. Besides, if you don't go back soon, you might run into someone you know."

Upon hearing this, Ru Feng immediately glanced around and saw the group of people behind him. Before he could even be surprised, he quickly moved closer to Mu Wenchen to shield him, saying, "What should we do? I don't want to meet them; they'll recognize me."

Mu Wenchen smiled slightly, put his arm around Rufeng and walked forward. As the night deepened, more and more people appeared, quickly blocking the view of the two groups. Mu Wenchen had a smile on his face and looked at Rufeng with affection as they walked, while Rufeng couldn't help but drool over the food on the roadside.

The two walked home, and the road was lit by lanterns, so it was not difficult to walk. Mu Wenchen originally wanted to use his lightness skill to send Rufeng back, but Rufeng wanted to take a walk to digest her food, so Mu Wenchen had no choice but to agree.

The two walked to a quiet place, and Mu Wenchen suddenly frowned and said, "Rufeng, wait for me here. I'm going to take care of something and will be back soon." As he spoke, he handed the remaining lamb skewers to Rufeng.

Ru Feng was satisfied with that bunch of lamb skewers. Anyway, he was capable of protecting himself. If things got really bad, he would resort to violence. At worst, the wound would heal a little slower, since he was already used to applying medicine every day.

Mu Wenchen gave a few more instructions, thinking that having so many people protecting him should be enough, and then immediately flew away.

Ru Feng stood obediently in place, eating his lamb skewers. Although they were more gamey and had a stronger flavor than modern lamb skewers, they were grilled to perfection. The meat was tender and almost melted in his mouth. The aroma of the grilled meat lingered on his lips and teeth, leaving him with an unforgettable aftertaste!

As Ru Feng sighed, he looked in the direction Mu Wenchen had left. There were still pedestrians on the road, but there were few of them, and most of them were leaving in a hurry by carriage. Very few people were walking like him.

"Miss, may I ask which way to the snack street in the capital? This is my first time in the capital, and I've come here because I've heard so much about it." Just as Ru Feng finished eating her lamb skewers and was wiping her hands with Mu Wenchen's handkerchief, a man's voice came from outside.

When Ru Feng looked up, he saw a handsome young man dressed in plain white clothes with a turban tied around his head, the standard attire of a scholar. Behind him was a simple-minded-looking pageboy.

Ru Feng carefully examined him and whispered, "Just keep walking forward." He pointed in a direction.

The young man bowed politely and thanked her, then glanced at Ru Feng and suddenly said, "Miss, you look a lot like someone I know."

Ru Feng was speechless. She should look perfectly ordinary right now, because when she was shopping with Mu Wenchen earlier, hardly any men looked at her. On the contrary, many women stared at Wenchen, and there were even women who attacked her. What did this man mean by saying this? Was he trying to pick her up?

So Ru Feng just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Just then, Ru Feng heard the distant sound of horses' hooves. Looking up, he saw several women in gorgeous dresses riding towards him in the candlelight. The woman at the head of the group wore a red, fitted, tight-sleeved, collared robe over a dark blue, wide-legged skirt. She wore a veiled hat and soft cotton riding boots. The women following behind her were similarly dressed. As their horses passed Ru Feng and the young man, Ru Feng smelled a rich fragrance. Although he couldn't see their faces clearly, the alluring charm beneath their veils was undeniable.

"Who is this?" Ru Feng asked subconsciously. What a fierce woman! Riding out on horseback in the middle of the night, and with a group of people! Just as he was thinking this, his head suddenly felt dizzy. Ru Feng thought to himself, "This is bad." The strong fragrance on those women was indeed suspicious. No wonder the smell was a bit off.

With her self-control, Ru Feng took out the medicine she had always kept close to her body and poured it into her mouth. The action was simple, but it was difficult to do. Before Ru Feng could swallow the pill, she collapsed.

When Ru Feng woke up, she was still in the same spot, lying on a piece of clothing. The young man and the page were gone, and a man in black stood beside her. His face was in the shadows, and Ru Feng couldn't see his features.

Seeing that Ru Feng had woken up, the man in black seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Young Master Ru Feng is awake? It was my dereliction of duty just now, and I am willing to accept the punishment!" He then knelt on one knee.

Ru Feng sat up, rubbing his temples, and said with a headache, "Whose subordinate are you?" He didn't have any subordinates dressed entirely in black. Judging from his appearance, the black robe under his buttocks must belong to him.

The man in black replied respectfully, "I am a subordinate of the Prince."

"Then you don't need to kneel before me. Get up and go talk to him yourself." Ru Feng waved his hand after saying that, his face still stinging. Could it be that the fragrance from earlier? Had he been tricked?

The man in black seemed to sense Ru Feng's confusion and quickly explained the situation. It turned out that the group of women had come on horseback from a distance and seemed unremarkable, so the guards had initially only been cautious and hadn't stopped them. However, as they passed by, someone noticed the unusual fragrance and, just as they were about to act, discovered that Ru Feng had already fallen into the young man's arms. Before the man in black could even arrive, the young man had already leaped away with incredible speed.

So Ru Feng was only unconscious for a short while, but he had already been infected.

While Ru Feng was in a daze, Mu Wenchen returned with a smile on his face, but he was surprised when he saw Ru Feng sitting on the ground and hurriedly asked, "Ru Feng, what's wrong?"

Ru Feng let him hold her, saying with a headache, "I was hit by something just now, so my head still hurts a lot." The man in black in the shadows quickly explained what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Mu Wenchen frowned. He looked at Ru Feng, shook his head at the man in black, and then used his lightness skill to run back with Ru Feng in his arms.

It seems there are still people watching Ru Feng from the shadows. This makes things even more complicated, and what I feared seems to be happening. Few can succeed under the noses of his own bodyguards; in fact, very few.

Mu Wenchen sighed inwardly, looking at Ru Feng who had already closed her eyes. He felt a pang of pity. He had been too careless. It was his fault today.

Ru Feng suddenly spoke up, "That strong fragrance is unusual. Ordinary sleeping pills wouldn't harm me, but that fragrance just now was very strange. There was no poison in it, yet it made me dizzy for a moment. It seems we should ask Zui Yue about this." It's still necessary to consult a professional.

Mu Wenchen responded. When he used his lightness skill, the wind was a bit strong, but he could still hear Ru Feng's words clearly.

Soon, they returned to the General's Mansion. Mu Wenchen quietly placed Rufeng in her room. Mu Tong, Zhou Qian, and Zhou Hou also came to Rufeng's room and talked for a while. Then Zhou Qian and Zhou Hou went to fetch hot water.

Mu Wenchen glanced at Ru Feng, who was lying unconscious on the bed, checked her pulse, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He then prepared to give Ru Feng a bath.

He thought for a moment, then decided to test the hot water and draw the curtains. He also decided to ask someone to take a look at Rufeng tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Yu Chi Huaiyang was furious: Ru Feng seemed to have been going in and out with a man for the past two nights! What was going on? Could it be that Ru Feng was actually gay?

Chapter 141 Conspiracy

After thinking it over, Yuchi Huaiyang decided to go and take a look.

They strode over, passed through a courtyard, and entered Ru Feng's courtyard. They saw slivers of light shining through the window frames. Zhong Ying coughed lightly, as if to signal the person inside, but there was no response. He then coughed loudly a few more times, but still no reaction.

Zhong Ying could only look at Yu Chi Huaiyang with questions in her eyes.

"Ru Feng, are you there?" There was still light in the room, which meant he hadn't gone to sleep yet. Moreover, it was said that his two attendants had just brought hot water from the kitchen, so the kid must have just come back from playing outside again.

Inside the room, Ru Feng was only wearing her underwear in the bathtub. Mu Wenchen stood beside the tub, wanting to help. Ru Feng, of course, refused. If it weren't for her long-cultivated sharpness and intuition, which allowed her to wake up just as her clothes were about to be removed, she might already be completely naked.

"Let me help you wash!" Mu Wenchen said eagerly, his eyes burning as he stared at Ru Feng's body.

Ru Feng looked at the few petals on the water's surface, gave a wry smile, and shook his head in refusal, saying, "No, I can wash them myself."

“But you’re completely weak right now, so of course I should help you. Besides, your wound has just scabbed over; do you want it to reopen?” Mu Wenchen said righteously and confidently. Of course, if his face hadn’t turned red and his eyes hadn’t been staring straight at Ru Feng, it would probably have been even more convincing.
