1295 Wants Her to Stay
Just as she spoke, she saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze stride towards her with big steps, held her hand and pulled her out. She was watching on with a daze and it all happened so quickly that when she finally snapped back to her senses, she cried out, “Wait!”
“I’ll take you back.” He turned around and said, his expression still cold, obviously a little angry.
“Your Imperial Father asked me to stay for a few days.”
“There is no need to bother about him!”
“That’s your Imperial Father, not someone else and I would like to see what he wants to do with me by making me stay. Why don’t you go back first! Don’t worry, he won’t kill me.” Although his father had said that all unkindly but out of all that, she hadn’t felt any killing intent or malice in them.
When he heard her words, he looked at her without saying anything for a long time before he said: “Then I will stay with you as well. That’s final.” After saying his piece, he walked back into the hall, looked at the person who was sitting on the throne and drinking tea leisurely and asked “Why did you ask her to stay?”
The country ruler drank his tea and looked leisurely, as if the person who was angry before was not him. Hearing the curt words of his son, he didn’t even spare him a glance. Treating him as air, he spoke to the attendant beside him in a deliberate manner: “Hmm…This spirit tea is not too bad.”
“Your Majesty, this spirit tea was made with the freshest flower dew collected early this morning. It tastes more fragrant and it is more refres.h.i.+ng than any other ordinary spirit tea.” The attendant said as he felt his scalp go numb, not daring to look at the dark expression evident on the Crown Prince’s face.
“Since she is staying, then I too will stay in the Palace.” After Xuanyuan Mo Ze spat those words out coldly, he turned around and pulled Feng Jiu to his side and left.
It wasn’t until the two of them walked away that the country ruler raised his head and looked at the silhouettes of the couple leaving. He watched his son holding Feng Jiu’s hand in a protective posture. He couldn’t help but a glint of surprise flashed by his eyes.
His child has grown and has a woman he wants to protect…
But of course, what came out of his mouth was a disgruntled harrumph instead. “Hmph, his temper is just as stubborn as a mule.”
The attendant by his side simply lowered his head, afraid to answer.
On the other side, the Scarlet Water Crown Prince and the Princess were sitting in the garden pavilion, both had unpleasant expressions on their faces. After a long silence, Princess Yingxue finally asked unwillingly, “Crown Prince Elder Brother, don’t tell me that we should just leave things as they are?”
The Scarlet Water Crown Prince glanced at her disapprovingly: “Do you think we have the ability to confront the people of Xuanyuan?” He stood up, walked out of the pavilion and said: “Although we are also one of the Eight Supreme Empires, there are also strong and weak empires. If the Xuanyuan Empire is not powerful, how would they dare to be so arrogant? Even if Imperial Father is here, we still have to give in to them. In this world, the strong prevails. Don’t you understand such a simple principle?”
“But I am very unwilling! Are you telling me to just leave it be?!” She said malevolently: “Especially that woman! That obnoxious woman…I won’t be able to appease my anger until I kill her!” Ever since she arrived here, she had been humiliated time and time again and it was all because of that woman!
Hearing her words, the Scarlet Water Crown Prince’s eyes moved slightly: “What does that woman look like?”
“Gasp!”
Just as he was thinking about the amazing woman in red, he suddenly felt a burning pain in his hand. He couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air as he stretched his hand out to have a look. He was completely startled when he saw that his whole hand was swelling and turning red right before his very eyes.
When Princess Yingxue heard his gasp, she couldn’t help but step forward and asked, “Crown Prince Elder Brother, what’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
By the time she came to his side, she could not help but exclaimed out loud: “Ah!”
