Chapter 360: Keeping Her Reputation, No Matter What
Suddenly, Si Mobai’s body moved a little!
Feng Tianlan was trying to remove Si Mobai’s pants when this happened. She immediately stopped, and her body tensed up. Her face flushed, and her voice was like a mosquito’s as she squeaked, “I was just…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the stillness returned. There was no more movement. Feng Tianlan looked up to see that Si Mobai’s eyes were still firmly shut. He didn’t look like he had stirred at all.
“Si Mobai.”
Feng Tianlan looked at Si Mobai suspiciously and called his name a few more times, but he didn’t respond. He didn’t look like he had woken up, so perhaps he had just shifted slightly. Feng Tianlan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Why did she feel as though she had been caught red-handed taking advantage of him?
Feng Tianlan slapped her face, which was hot enough to cook an egg on. Then, she clenched her teeth as she removed Si Mobai’s pants, leaving him in only his underwear. When she saw his long, attractive, and muscular legs, she immediately averted her eyes.
She couldn’t think so much anymore. No matter what happened, she was going to keep her reputation!
Feng Tianlan took a deep breath, picked up the towel, and started wiping around his abdomen. Slowly, she made her way down…
“Tianlan, Your Majesty…” Luo Yunzhu pushed the door open and immediately stopped talking as she stood in stunned silence at the threshold. She lingered there for a moment, observing this seemingly beautiful and exciting scene.
Feng Tianlan pretended to be calm and forced herself to stop blushing. “I…” she began.
“I didn’t see anything! I won’t say anything! Tianlan, you have been enlightened, so continue doing what you’re doing, and I’ll boil some soup to supplement your body,” Luo Yunzhu said. She snapped out of her daze, then quickly turned around and hurriedly ran off without even closing the door.
Feng Tianlan was speechless.
Luo Yunzhu came running back and covered her face while leaning against the doorway. She said, “His Highness is still unconscious, so Tianlan, you have to control yourself.” Then, she ran off again.
Feng Tianlan was utterly dumbfounded as she watched Luo Yunzhu run off so quickly. Wasn’t her leg injured? Didn’t she hobble when she walked? How was she able to run so fast just now? Was she only pretending to be hurt?
And what was with that expression on Yunzhu’s face? It made her look like some kind of hungry wolf.
After Luo Yunzhu’s interruption, Feng Tianlan calmed down a fair bit. But she still clenched her teeth and pretended to be calm as she wrung the clean towel and wiped the parts of Si Mobai’s body below his knees. She then put a fresh pair of pants on him, flipped him over, and washed his back. All the while, she continued to chant to herself, “You are my benefactor. All thoughts and feelings are ephemeral.”
She was supposed to be chanting the heart sutra to cleanse her heart of any impure thoughts. But when her hand touched Si Mobai’s skin every now and then, it felt scorching, and her face looked like all the blood in her body had rushed to her head.
She busied herself, even though her heart continued to be in complete shambles. By the time she finished changing Si Mobai’s clothes, a little more than an hour had passed. Feng Tianlan’s body was covered in perspiration. She leaned against the pillow and looked at Si Mobai’s incomparably handsome and charming face. Washing him was even more tiring than fighting an enemy!
After taking a quick rest, she changed into a set of clean clothes and left the room.
“Done so quickly?” Luo Yunzhu shot her a knowing glance when she saw Feng Tianlan walk out of the room.
“I was just wiping him down,” Feng Tianlan calmly explained. Luo Yunzhu made her sound like a molester.
“Ohhhhh,” Luo Yunzhu answered, dragging out her voice. “Just wiping him down.”
Tianlan’s cover-up was making everything even more obvious!
The more Tianlan denied it, the more suspicious Luo Yunzhu became!
Feng Tianlan glared at her, then thought about how Luo Yunzhu had fled so quickly and changed the topic. “Aren’t you injured? How did you run off so quickly?”
“I was getting better, but now it’s swollen like a pig’s foot again,” Luo Yunzhu replied. She lifted her leg and pulled her skirt back to reveal her terribly swollen ankle. She really had been getting better, but because she had run too quickly, her ankle was swelling up again!
Feng Tianlan felt Luo Yunzhu’s pain when she saw the inflamed ankle. But after she thought about what Luo Yunzhu had said, her lips twitched, and she said, “You deserve it.”
Nothing untoward had happened at all between her and Si Mobai, but Luo Yunzhu had made it sound like Feng Tianlan was some sort of filthy molester.
