Chapter 2046: The Wolf King 41
Liu Qingqing was not witty and looked frail, but she was an excellent girl, and all people here adored her.
“I intentionally said this to the emperor. Back then, I know that the emperor was satisfied with Liu Qingqing, but he had also picked some other women. If we get the other girls to go into Fourth Prince’s Manor, we may not have one as obedient as Liu Qingqing.”
The empress paused and continued, “Secondly, even if it is true, it doesn’t matter. I believe that you will not expose this matter. After all, you and your family are in my hands.”
She played with her fingers and smiled coldly.
This meant that if her plan had been exposed, Sister Gu would be the one who would be the scapegoat.
However, as the empress’s servant, there was nothing she could do.
Sister Gu lowered her pale face. She had followed the empress from the beginning, and now she could no longer escape.
“Moreover, we can use that wild girl from the prince’s manor.” The empress narrowed her eyes and sneered. “Don’t worry. As long as Murong Qing dies, no one else can harm me.”
Sister Gu lowered her head and did not speak. She froze, and her body was slightly trembling.

The next day.
Loud noises awakened Nan Chiyou.
She rubbed her eyes impatiently and frowned. “Who is making such a ruckus outside? So noisy!”
A young man lay on the ground, and after hearing Nan Chiyou’s words, a hint of coldness flashed across his handsome face.
“I’ll go out and take a look.”
“No, I’ll go with you.”
Nan Chiyou’s face darkened, seemingly very upset.
Ah Bao looked up, bewildered as it stared at Nan Chiyou in a daze.
‘People with wake-up calls are not good to mess with…’
‘Especially women…’
Nan Chiyou opened the door and followed the sound to the front yard.
From a distance, she heard Murong Qing’s angry voice, a voice that made Nan Chiyou freeze.
Ever since she met Murong Qing, he had always been gentle and good-tempered, never saying a word out loud. It was the first time she saw him in this state.
She did not know who had angered him.
If a patient were angry, it would only be detrimental to his recovery.
She also wanted to leave this place earlier, yet she had to fulfill her promise.
So, after seeing Murong Qing so mad, her little face sank again.
***
In the front yard, Liu Qingqing was somewhat speechless. Her small face was pale due to panic.
It seemed that she was also frightened by how furious Murong Qing was.
She bit her lip as aggrieved tears swirled in her eyes and almost fell.
“Who permitted you to bring her into my manor? And with these clothes… What exactly does this mean? Whose orders are these?” Murong Qing’s face darkened as he angrily looked at the group of eunuchs standing in front of him.
The eunuch was also frightened, but he still spoke, “We’re only following the empress’s order. The empress said that Fourth Prince is ready to marry Young Lady Liu. Both Young Lady Liu and Fourth Prince still have to nurture your feelings, so the empress has asked Young Lady Liu stay in Fourth Prince’s manor first.”
Murong Qing’s veins bulged on his forehead, and he clenched his fists angrily, obviously exasperated by the actions of these people.
“Liu Qingqing, you are not married yet, but you can’t wait to get into my manor? How can you be so ‘cheap’?!”
