Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Sunflower 5

They had been talking here for quite a while, seemingly going in circles.

Was this what they called the cycle of cause and effect?

Mu Lingyun found it somewhat amusing.

Upon hearing this, Ji Luochen also bowed his head and smiled, silent thereafter.

As they remained silent, they suddenly saw two people approaching.

A man and a woman, both dressed as military officers, looked spirited and handsome, quite pleasing to the eye.

Mu Lingyun actually recognized both of them.

After all, she had met them in her previous life.

The man’s name was Miao Zhengyi, a general close to Ji Luochen.

The woman was Miao Zhengyi’s sister, Miao Fenghua, who served as his deputy general.

Because Ji Luochen relied greatly on Miao Zhengyi, the two of them often appeared before him.

And for that reason, in her past life, Mu Lingyun saw them frequently.

In her memory, Miao Zhengyi was a rather upright person who barely glanced at her, seemingly indifferent.

As for Miao Fenghua, she was quite capable, but she seemed to harbor affection for Ji Luochen and believed Mu Lingyun to be untrustworthy, thus on several occasions, she confronted Mu Lingyun directly, telling her to stay away from Ji Luochen.

Miao Fenghua had merely warned her verbally and never physically harmed her, much less caused her any displeasure.

Therefore, Mu Lingyun had never actually done anything against Mao Fenghua.

Miao Zhengyi came before Ji Luochen and spoke, "Your Highness, I heard you were looking for someone, and I was worried about you, so I rushed over. Are you all right?"

Ji Luochen shook his head, "I’m fine, I was already on my way back."

At that moment, Miao Fenghua glanced at Mu Lingyun and asked, "The person Your Highness came out to find, wouldn’t happen to be her, right? Who is she? Where does she come from?"

Miao Zhengyi gave Miao Fenghua a cold look and sternly interrupted her, "Miao Fenghua, is this how you speak to His Highness?"

Upon hearing this, Miao Fenghua’s face slightly changed color, then she spoke, "Your Highness, I apologize, I was just too anxious!"

Miao Zhengyi also looked gravely at Ji Luochen, his eyes filled with respect.

"Your Highness, I apologize, my sister acted out of fear that she might bring harm to you, thus she wanted to ascertain her identity, not meaning any disrespect to Your Highness. Please do not blame her! If Your Highness must blame someone, I am willing to bear the full responsibility!"

In Ji Luochen’s eyes, there was a touch of coldness.

If it had been before, he might have let such an incident slide.

But now, he was unwilling to just let it go.

He did not know why, but he just did not want the girl he had gone to such lengths to find to suffer the slightest grievance.

Therefore, his voice was also tinged with a chill, "General Miao, is this the way you have always managed your troops? If such is your way of military governance, perhaps I need to seriously consider your capabilities."

Miao Zhengyi was inwardly startled upon hearing this.

His Highness had never spoken to him like this before.

Especially in matters concerning his sister, as long as he pleaded, His Highness would let it be.

Because although his sister was impetuous in speech, she never made mistakes in her actions.

So, His Highness would not pursue the matter too harshly.

But now...

Miao Zhengyi couldn’t help but glance at Mu Lingyun.

The weight this woman held in His Highness’s heart might not be light!

He quickly averted his gaze after a brief look.

He knelt on one knee towards Ji Luochen and said, "I recognize my mistake for overstepping my position and offending Your Highness. According to military law, I should be punished with twenty lashes. I have failed to instruct my sister properly, so I will take responsibility for ten lashes on her behalf. Does Your Highness find this acceptable?"
