Chapter 197 A Huge Misunderstanding
Chapter 197 A Huge Misunderstanding
Puyang Xuan was quite clever; he understood the woman's meaning of "stamp" perfectly, and was initially quite certain. However… Jianwu's expression was so surprised—could it be that he had misunderstood?!
Seeing Puyang Xuan's stunned expression, Yang Jianwu was in a great mood and even offered a thoughtful explanation.
"Ah Xuan, a stamp is a mark used to confirm or approve something, it's a kind of mark. I wore the lip balm you made the other day and wanted to try out the lip color, you can't expect me to stamp it on the wall, right... so... I'll just stamp it on your face..."
"Oh, I see. It seems I misunderstood... Even if a jade seal were used to stamp my face, it wouldn't be this forceful... Look how swollen my lips are..."
Yang Jianwu felt a little guilty. She only wanted to use a tiny bit more force, just a tiny bit, but who knew he would take the initiative to get close to her...
"It's not entirely my fault; you suddenly turned your back on me. The forces involved were combined, so if it doesn't hurt you, who will?!"
"Fine, I guess I brought this on myself."
……
After washing up, the two had a simple breakfast.
Yang Jianwu applied a layer of anti-swelling ointment to Puyang Xuan's lips, which were already rosy. Now, they were slightly swollen and looked full and moist under the reflection of the ointment. The lips looked bright and plump, which was quite beautiful.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
"Miss, His Highness Prince Ning has arrived!"
"That arrives so fast?"
"Your Highness, Prince Ning went to Huashuiyuefang right after court. The secret guards sent to fetch him happened to run into him."
"I see. Please invite him in!"
"Yes!"
Liang Yan invited Mo Ye into the house and served him tea and snacks. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Pu Yangxuan's lips.
"puff-"
She couldn't help but laugh, then realized it was inappropriate and immediately covered half her face with the tray, taking the initiative to apologize to Yang Jianwu.
"This servant was rude. I just thought of something funny. Please forgive me, mistress."
Actually, Yang Jianwu also wanted to laugh, but she held it in to save face for Puyang Xuan...
"This is a one-time exception. You may leave."
"Yes, thank you, Miss! This servant will take her leave."
Before leaving, Liang Yan couldn't help but steal one last glance. Oh my, it's so funny! Song Yin said that the young master of Puyang and the young lady slept together last night. What happened is self-evident. All I can say is that her master is too amazing!
Mo Ye also noticed Pu Yangxuan's lips, and his mind naturally wandered to other thoughts as well. As expected of a two-way relationship, this was fast enough.
"Ahem, you two aren't married yet, so there are some things you should be careful about. Also, remember to prepare some contraceptive soup and don't forget to take it..."
Mo Ye felt a little embarrassed as he spoke. The two of them were fellow disciples, and since Xiao Wu'er's parents weren't around, it was quite necessary to give her a reminder!
Pu Yangxuan was actually overjoyed inside, but he held back his laughter to maintain the appearance of a victim, almost to the point of internal injury.
Yang Jianwu looked up at the sky speechlessly. This misunderstanding was huge. She could explain, but who would believe her...?
"Brother Ye, I know what I'm doing. I invited you here today because I have something to discuss with you."
After being reminded by Yang Jianwu, Mo Ye also went to observe the spotted moths. There were indeed quite a few of them. He talked about this with several officials from the Ministry of Revenue, and they all said they had never seen such a large number of spotted moths.
Several officials in charge of forestry were consulted, but no unusual spotted moths were found in the forests under their jurisdiction. The forest environment is actually more suitable for the spotted moth's growth; the fact that its numbers haven't increased in the forests but are so large in the densely populated city suggests only one thing!
Xiao Wu'er's guess was correct; the appearance of these spotted moths in the capital at this time was man-made!
"Is it about the hibiscus leafminer moth?"
"Hmm! You need to inform His Majesty and get the cooperation of officials in various regions!"
"Local officials?! Is this the case throughout Dongli?!"
Yang Jianwu made a downward pressing gesture with his hand. "Brother Ye, calm down. The various places I'm referring to are several cities leading from the capital to Nanyue, and their distribution is very concentrated, forming a strip! Therefore, I suspect it was done by Nangong Yan and that mysterious person!"
Mo Ye slammed his hand down on the table. "What exactly does Nan Yue want?! Can't they just live a peaceful life? They're tired of living!"
"Yes, they're asking for it. We'll settle this score with them sooner or later! The priority now is to eliminate the adult moths and the unhatched eggs!"
"Alright, tell me what you want to do? After we discuss it, I'll go to the palace and report this to my father!"
"Okay, let's arrange it like this..."
Yang Jianwu discussed her previously devised plan to eliminate the spotted moth with Mo Ye. After careful consideration, it was clear that it would require the cooperation of many people, and the idea of spraying pesticide on Xiaobai was met with opposition.
Xiao Bai must not be discovered, so he needs to operate at night and spray all the way south. It will take at least ten days. How could Yang Jianwu be left alone for more than ten nights without sleep?
After discussing it, the three decided that two of them would set off first to deliver the message, while one of them would stay behind to ride Little White and spray the medicine at night. The next day, they would take turns to rest.
