Chapter 570 - The Ghost King's Return Part 3
"Little Yue, where are you going? Can you bring me along with you?"
Mu Ru Yue just couldn't say any rejective words as she looked at the youth's expectant gaze. She then nodded slightly and agreed, "Alright. You can come with us."
"Mhm."
Mo Xi's smile was really captivating. Mu Ru Yue could almost see flowers blooming all around him with sweet scents emitting from them…
Yet, when they reached the housing of the Ouyang family in the Imperial City, they were notified that the two of them had gone to the palace. Mu Ru Yue was also unwilling to just wait here for them so she made Yi Shao Chen to bring her into the palace.
The Emperor was in the Imperial study room but he was standing before two middle aged man respectfully. His expression was filled with reverence and sincerity.
There was also a man standing beside the Emperor.
Moreover, that man's appearance was similar to Yi Shao Chen's, but he had a more softer appearance than Yi Shao Chen's. His skin was fairer than girls, making his appearance looked really feminine.
It was truly a pity that this man wasn't a girl.
Furthermore, his appearance looked slightly feeble, making his fair skin more pale. It seemed to be due to indulging in debauchery. It was easy to know that he was a playboy at a glance.
Yet, a report was heard from outside the room at this moment. "Your Majesty, King Chen has come asking for an audience."
The Emperor frowned and replied, "Let him in."
He had heard a lot of rumours these days. Since he didn't have any good impressions of the Empress that completely lacked in insight, he similarly didn't have much good impressions of Yi Shao Chen who was the adopted son of the Empress.
A few figures entered the crowd's eyes after the door of the study room was gradually pushed open.
Yi Shao Xuan's gaze shifted from Yi Shao Chen's face onto Mu Ru Yue's. A trace of astonishment flashed past his eyes.
He had seen this woman at the banquet previously. But she had a scar on her face at that time, ruining her beauty. That scar had unknowingly vanished today, allowing him to see her flawless face…
Mu Ru Yue had originally not cared much of her appearance so she wasn't in a hurry to recover her looks. Yet, she had thought it through after that. If Wu Chen were to see that scar, his heart would definitely ache. Hence, she made Yi Shao Chen gathered the medicinal plants in manufacturing the Appearance Recovery Pill…
Yi Shao Chen quickly withdrew his astonished gaze before glancing at Mo Xi who was standing by her side. He was more into guys than girls after all.
The youth was so adorable and beautiful, especially his submissive appearance. It made him a little turned on…
"Little Yue!" Mo Xi couldn't help but to pull on Mu Ru Yue's sleeve. He then bit his lips as he hid timidly behind her.
That man's gaze was so terrifying. It was identical to the gaze of those girls that seemed to have wanted to eat him…
"Mo Mo, don't worry. I'm here."
Mu Ru Yue patted Mo Xi's hand before shifting her gaze to Yi Shao Xuan. She frowned as she thought, 'Can it be that Yi Shao Xuan is a gay?'
'But seeing his extremely feeble appearance, he seems to be a submissive. How can he develop interest in Mo Mo then?'
"Mhm."
Mo Xi's heart warmed. It was as though his heart was being enveloped by a sense of security.
Yet, that man's wolf and tiger-like gaze still made him really uncomfortable. It was as though his clothes were being torn apart before him…
"Chen Er, why have you all come?"
The Emperor frowned, but still expressed a friendly smile toward Mu Ru Yue.
The two lords of the Ouyang family were so respectful towards her and the girl had also subdued the Sky Wolf. Thus, she might become a member of the Ouyang family unless something unexpected happened…
(Teaser)
"Little Yue, where are you going? Can you bring me along with you?" [Miki: wait~ is this stalker alert? She just stepped out of the room and this little guy came…]
Mu Ru Yue just couldn't say any rejective words as she looked at the youth's expectant gaze. She then nodded slightly and agreed, "Alright. You can come with us."
"Mhm."
Mo Xi's smile was really captivating. Mu Ru Yue could almost see flowers blooming all around him with sweet scents emitting from them…
Chapter 571 - The Ghost King's Return Part 4
Yi Shao Chen glanced at Yi Shao Xuan that was staring engrossedly at Mo Xi. His lips then curled up into a gentle smile. He would look like a jade-like gentlemen if only his sinister eyes were overlooked.
"Imperial father, Lord Ouyang had recently made your son transport some medicinal plants for him. But when the subordinates of your son reached the entrance of the city, the medicinal plants had been confiscated by General Lin Xin who was guarding the entrance. That person known as Lin Xin had self-proclaimed himself to be a subordinate of Third Imperial brother and even slandered that the medicinal plants of Lord Ouyang were poisonous. Hence, your son has personally come forth to ask for Imperial father's solution for this."
Yi Shao Xuan was stunned as a layer of cold sweat immediately formed on his forehead.
That bastard Lin Xin did indeed transported few carriages of medicinal plants to the King Xuan's manor. Moreover, since he saw that those medicinal plants were precious supplements, he kept them and planned to find some opportunity to give them to his Imperial father. Who knew that those confiscated goods were the Ouyang family's.
Seeing the ashened expression of the Emperor and the incredibly gloomy expression of Ouyang Yun Jin, Yi Shao Xuan's legs softened as he knelt to the ground and pleaded, "Imperial father, your son really didn't know that the medicinal plants that were recently given by Lin Xin were confiscated goods. Imperial father, please inspect on the credibility of your son's words!"
"Hmph!" The Emperor's eyes were completely darkened. He then snorted coldly before he continued, "Yi Shao Xuan, you are really too gutsy to dare confiscate the Ouyang family's medicinal plants!"
"Imperial father, your son really didn't know about this. Your son pleads for Imperial father's forgiveness."
Yi Shao Xuan wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead while he inwardly scolded Lin Xin thousand times.
'If that bastard is here now, I will definitely give him a terrible death!'
The Emperor sighed as his heart softened. He was his son no matter what. How could a father really bear to be ruthless to his own biological bone and blood even if the Royal family was known to be heartless?
But Ouyang Yun Jin's voice was heard at this moment before he could say anything. "It seems that the people of the Kingdom of Ling Yun is becoming more gutsy to the point where they don't place importance on our Ouyang family. It is really an eye opener for me today. My Ouyang family had made King Chen help us in transporting medicines. Who knew that they would be confiscated. Those are the most precious medicinal plants in the world. If those medicinal plants get damaged, how many lives can you give to compensate for them? Furthermore, you even dared to say that my Ouyang family had transported poisonous medicinal plants to harm the people in the Imperial City. Haha! This is just too laughable. Why would we need to use poison when we want to kill people?!"
"Lord Ouyang," Yi Shao Xuan hastily explained to Ouyang Yun Jin, "This really doesn't have anything to do with me. It is all Lin Xin's fault. I'm really clueless that the medicinal plants were obtained by confiscation. Otherwise, it will be impossible for me to keep them."
"Hmph!" Ouyang Yun Jin snorted coldly. With his grandeur being gradually released, he continued, "It is his mistake, but he is your subordinate. How could he dare to brazenly confiscate possessions from a prince's manor if he didn't have your permission?"
Yi Shao Xuan's body shuddered as what Ouyang Yun Jin said was right. It was precisely due to his support and promise that gave Lin Xin that much guts.
However, this matter really didn't have anything to do with him. It was all due to that person wanting to curry favors with him and creating this commotion…
The Emperor could no longer say anything to help Yi Shao Xuan even if he wanted to upon hearing what Ouyang Yun Jin said. He sighed lightly before he used a somewhat helpless tone as he said, "Yi Shao Xuan, you are to return to the King Xuan's manor and will be forbidden to take even a single step out of the manor for the next three years! Furthermore, the prince's manor name will be changed to King Xian. You will just be the idle King Xian from now on."
Yi Shao Xuan raised his head in shock as he looked with disbelief at the Emperor.
'Does Imperial father means that he is no longer be qualified to be a candidate in succeeding the throne?'
