The black eagle let out a long cry. Only Xia Muqing understood what it meant.
“I’m here to look for you. Since I couldn’t find you, I can only look for you one room at a time.”
Its tone was filled with grievance.
Xia Muqing laughed dryly and explained, “This is the pet I told you about. It’s here to look for me.”
Ye Qingxuan was a little surprised. He didn’t expect this woman to have such a pet.
Then, he laughed mockingly and answered ambiguously, “It’s really like the kind of pet a master like you will have.”
Xia Muqing’s expression darkened and she glared at the black eagle.
She returned to the room and lectured the black eagle. If it did this kind of thing again, she wouldn’t go and get it.
The black eagle cried out in grievance.
The residence of King Zhennan was much larger than the Xia family. Xia Muqing chose a room with a courtyard. This way, the black eagle wouldn’t have to hide anymore.
Ye Qingxuan returned to his room and shouted into the air. A black shadow suddenly appeared beside him and knelt down.
Ye Qingxuan said with a grim expression, “Go and investigate what Xia Muqing has been up to recently. You must collect detailed information.”
The black shadow nodded and disappeared again.
The black eagle was an Azure Cloud Eagle. Others might not recognize it, but he wouldn’t make a mistake about it.
The Azure Cloud Eagles only lived in the depths of the Sunset Mountains and they lived in groups.
How did Xia Muqing manage to make an Azure Cloud Eagle acknowledge her as its master?
This woman was not simple.
Ye Qingxuan seemed to be indulging her on the surface, but in reality, he was testing her to see if she could be of use to him.
Xia Muqing had her own ulterior motive as well.
The human and eagle officially moved into King Zhennan’s manor.
The next day, the Xia family discovered that Xia Muqing had disappeared, and they began to search the entire province.
The next day, Xia Muqing performed acupuncture on Ye Qingxuan as usual. After his first experience, he only frowned this time.
After the acupuncture, she touched Ye Qingxuan’s gradually hardening calves muscles. The moment she touched them, Ye Qingxuan, who had just woken up, grabbed her wrist.
Xia Muqing said, “I’m just checking on the treatment. Do you have to be so cautious of me?”
Ye Qingxuan let go of her and snorted. “Someone has a criminal record.”
Xia Muqing was furious and retorted angrily, “I had a reason back then. I would have done the same if it was another person. Can a grown man not be so petty?”
Ye Qingxuan clearly turned cold. Although his face was pale, it couldn’t hide the domineering aura emitting from his body.
Xia Muqing pursed her lips and didn’t say a word. However, an idea was forming.
She rolled her eyes and said, “You have to take medicine to stabilize your illness starting from today. I’ll give you a prescription later.”
Ye Qingxuan nodded.
A cunning glint sparkled in Xia Muqing’s eyes. She swiftly wrote a prescription and got the servants to prepare it.
At this time, Ye Qingxuan had already recovered his strength. He pushed the wheelchair to the table and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.
In less than fifteen minutes, the servants brought the medicine that had been prepared.
Xia Muqing sat down calmly, but her eyes were fixated on Ye Qingxuan.
Ye Qingxuan didn’t suspect a thing and drank the medicine.
He spat out the moment the medicine entered his mouth.
His expression was a little twisted, which was a rare sight.
A grin flashed across Xia Muqing’s eyes and she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and cough softly.
Ye Qingxuan looked at her with malice in his eyes. If he still had no idea that Xia Muqing was doing this on purpose, he would be a fool.
He placed the bowl of medicine on the table forcefully and said coldly, “Change the prescription.”
Xia Muqing exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, “How can that do? Your Highness, good medicine is bitter. This is the best medicine for your illness.”
She added, “Could it be that the mighty King Zhennan is actually afraid of taking medicine?”
Ye Qingxuan looked at her coldly, but Xia Muqing wasn’t afraid at all and responded with a smile.
