Chapter 309: Chapter 309: No... No... Zhan Lan suddenly grabbed Mu Yan’s hand and said, “We have violated the chastity commandment, let me take you and escape... We absolutely cannot let Master find out!” Mu Yan struggled to hold back his laughter because Zhan Lan’s expression was so serious and earnest. She pushed Mu Yan away and said while listening to the noises outside, “Listen, they are fighting outside, it must be Master chasing after us, let’s run quickly!” Without further ado, she grabbed Mu Yan’s hand and started running. They had only run a few steps when the sounds of the fight grew more intense. She pulled Mu Yan, opened the wardrobe, threw clothes and blankets all over the floor, and dragged Mu Yan into the wardrobe. Mu Yan really felt the wardrobe was too small, he tried to get out but Zhan Lan firmly pressed his hand. Zhan Lan, like a thief, tensely said, “Shh, Master is coming to kill us, let’s hide in the cave for a while, and tomorrow morning, we’ll take a boat and leave.” Mu Yan looked at Zhan Lan with tears in his eyes, as she mistook Xiao Chen and Vermilion Bird’s fighting sounds for Master’s chasing. He couldn’t restrain his smile; his Lan’er was truly the most interesting woman in the world. Zhan Lan quickly covered his lips, softly chastising, “Don’t laugh, we are fleeing for our lives!” Mu Yan pulled her hand, drawing her in front of him, and kissed her lips. After a moment, Zhan Lan’s cheeks turned pink, and she said to Mu Yan, “We’re supposed to be fleeing, and you’re still thinking about these things... Master teaches you things every day but you never learn, only these messy tricks...” Mu Yan turned her face towards him, smiled lightly, and said, “The lifelong learning of a disciple is meant for only one person – the Master.” Having said that, he kissed Zhan Lan again, their affections tender and intimate. ... The next morning, Zhan Lan woke up with a headache, looking around, this was her bed. Mu Yan lay there on her soft bed, his clothes loose and his belt missing. Mu Yan opened his eyes and said, “You’re awake?” Zhan Lan patted her head and asked, “What happened to me?” Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and said, “The mushroom soup...” Zhan Lan suddenly realized, holding her head and exclaimed, “Where are they!” Mu Yan spread his hands, “No idea.” Zhan Lan hurried downstairs, first seeing Xiao Tao and Liu Xi lying asleep on the floor. Huang Gun was on a bench, his face bright red and mumbling, “No... no...” She opened the door and saw Dugu Yan, who had been chasing a dog all night, climbed up a tree, lying on a branch with Little Black exhausted underneath. Looking further away, Xiao Chen and Vermilion Bird had even collapsed against the wall, asleep. “Wake up!” Zhan Lan shouted loudly. Few responded, so Zhan Lan picked up some cold water, and after sprinkling it over everyone, all groggily woke up. Mu Yan followed behind Zhan Lan, and upon seeing everyone’s condition, couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Vermilion Bird, seeing Mu Yan stand up, respectfully said, “Master, your subordinate was disgraceful.” Vermilion Bird’s eyelids twitched, wondering why his whole body ached! Mu Yan constrained his smile, looking at Vermilion Bird and Xiao Chen saying, “Did you two fight all night?” Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead, really unable to recall what happened last night, just feeling like his whole body was falling apart. Vermilion Bird nodded, “It seems like I was poisoned.” Mu Yan nodded, “All of you got hallucinations from eating poisonous mushrooms.” Dugu Yan climbed down from the tree, and upon seeing Dugu Yan, Little Black started running away quickly, leaving Dugu Yan puzzled, looking at Little Black, “Why are you running!” Xiao Tao and Liu Xi got up from the ground, their faces blushing with embarrassment as they had actually fallen asleep there. Huang Gun’s face turned red as he held his buttocks and said, “Young master seems to have gotten dirty last night...” Zhan Lan gave him a cold look, “It was all hallucinations!” “Hallucinations? I remember last night young master seemed to be at a brothel, and then it seemed like...” Suddenly, Huang Gun looked at Zhan Lan and said, “Main General, what kind of hallucination was it? Why do you have bite marks on your neck that are all bruised?” Zhan Lan really couldn’t remember clearly, only remembered being chased for her life, and it seemed like she and her apprentice were barely getting by. Zhan Lan feigned calmness and waved her hand, “It’s nothing, dreamed of being bitten by a dog!” Mu Yan: “...” Mu Yan pulled her by the back of her clothes and brought her inside the house, saying to everyone, “You all go back, don’t come to eat Zhan Lan’s cooking anymore, it’s poisonous!” Xiao Chen still wanted to talk alone with Zhan Lan, but seeing Mu Yan taking her inside, he could only wait for next time. Xiao Tao and Liu Xi looked at each other, realizing it was poisonous mushrooms. Both felt depressed and returned to their own rooms, with Huang Gun also whining away. Dugu Yan really couldn’t understand why Little Black was so afraid of her, when usually Little Black was quite fierce! Xiao Chen saw that his knuckles were red and the back of his hand was blue, and glancing at Vermilion Bird who was not in much better condition, he walked away with a cold face. Vermilion Bird sighed, what happened, wasn’t he at the summit of a high mountain fighting someone last night? Was it all hallucinations caused by poisonous mushrooms? Zhan Lan, with her collar grabbed by Mu Yan, complained, “What are you doing, Mu Yan?” Mu Yan looked at the hickeys on her neck and said, “Look in the mirror yourself.” Zhan Lan sat in front of a bronze mirror, saw the red and purple marks on her neck, glanced at the bite marks near Mu Yan’s collar, and her face instantly turned red. “Sorry, I promise there won’t be poisonous mushrooms again!” She had forgotten about them since she brought them back last time; she didn’t expect that after so long, Xiao Tao would find them, causing such a big confusion. Mu Yan stepped closer and cautiously asked, “Do you still remember what you said last night? Do you remember what I said?” Zhan Lan shook her head, “I was so dizzy, I don’t remember anything.” Mu Yan sighed in relief, thankfully, his little girl didn’t hear it, so he could keep his identity hidden for a little while longer. It seems Zhan Lan really likes being his master, so let her continue being so! Zhan Lan turned to Mu Yan, “You can go back now, I need to change my clothes.” Mu Yan nodded and gestured kindly with his hand, Zhan Lan gave him a sidelong glance and pushed him out. Mu Yan asked from outside the window, “What are you going to do?” “I want to go see my domain,” said Zhan Lan as she changed her clothes. Mu Yan looked into the distance and said, “There’s no court meeting today, I’ll go with you.” “Great!” Zhan Lan came out in men’s clothing, and they both headed to her domain together. Sitting in the carriage, Zhan Lan pounded her waist and said, “What on earth did I do last night!” Mu Yan sneered, “Some people just had to pull His Highness into the wardrobe, whispering that someone was trying to kill us, and we should hide in the cave!” She said depressedly, “Oh, I never want to eat mushrooms again in my life.....” Mu Yan looked out to the barren land of the domain from the violently shaking carriage and said to Zhan Lan, “You must be the poorest prince I’ve ever seen!” Zhan Lan smiled without answering, who says so, this land that seems difficult for crops to grow has its own big story. If she wants to overthrow the Si Family’s rule, she must first win the hearts of the people, yet she can be quite ruthless! Zhan Lan won’t act solely for others and not consider her own self-interests.
