C5 Part1

"Your Royal Highness, please sit down."

Murong Yu seemed to be smiling and not smiling at the same time, waving his hand in an inviting posture slightly elegant.

"The Prince is here to wait for the 'rabbits' to fall in the trap?"

Murong Ci lifted his robe and sat down.

He was quite diligent in pouring tea and handing the water.

She drank a little of the tea while looking at him.

He was wearing a robe with no patterns or ornaments, which was less stylish and more comfortable.

"Your Royal Highness is also interested in this female assassin?"

Murong Yu squinted his lips and sneered like a fox.

"The female assassins who made a sensation in Luoyang City...

This prince is certainly interested in them."

Murong Ci raised her eyebrows lightly,

"The prince wants to use these female assassins to lure the snake out of the cave?"

"There's no hurry..."

"Then the prince will be here for three days?"

"If your Highness is here to accompany this king, I will not be so lonely."

"This prince wants to be a competent prince in the East Palace."

After the events at the Qingyuan Palace yesterday, she decided not to pretend to be cowardly and weak.

With the regent's arrogance and domineering, he would not be too concerned about the Crown Prince...

Murong Yu slowly raised his eyes and stared at her,

"This King has been thinking that the emperor of the Eastern Chu Kingdom shouldn't be so stupid and sending a few female assassins to assassinate this king."

After Murong Ci heard this, the tea was stuck in his throat and almost choked.

She felt the danger of his sharp gaze, and asked calmly:

"Then you suspect that there is another mastermind?"

"This King doesn't care who the mastermind is.

It doesn't matter whether it's a countryman, someone around me, or the monarch of another country, what is the difference?"

"The Prince's idea is really unique."

"This King cares only about a woman."

"A woman?"

She was taken aback, holding up her teacup.

A smile on Murong Yu's lips appeared,

"The night I was almost assassinated, I spent the night with a woman.

It was her who I wanted to lure out the cave."

*Boop!*

Murong Ci happened to take a sip of tea again, and this time it all came out.

She realized that was too suspicious, and quickly wiped it off.

A hint of surprise flashed across his black eyes,

"Why is Your Royal Highness so surprised?"

She raised her eyebrows and sneered, her tone full of ridicule,

"This Prince just thinks that a man like the prince, who has passed through the world, wouldn't care about a woman of unknown origin.

That woman is one of the female assassins, right?"

"This King doesn't know..."

Murong Yu always felt that His Highness' reaction was too intense, but he couldn't figure out her thoughts for a while.

"If the Prince likes that female assassin, all the women in Luoyang City will be heartbroken."

Murong Ci always felt that his gaze was weird, as if he had guessed something, and he seemed to be testing her...

Thinking about this, she walked to the window and looked at the noisy gatehouse.

He stood beside her and said in a low voice,

"Although my blood was retrograde that night and I couldn't see her appearance clearly, I will never forget the unique fragrance on her body in this life.

Moreover, this King feels as if they had known each other from before..."

She was startled, her legs were too soft to stand up, and she slid to the ground.

Murong Yu held her waist quickly with his hands.

His eyes glanced at her,

"What happened to Your Highness?"

"I got up early today...

My head is a little dizzy..."

Without changing her face, Murong Ci suddenly realized that the big hand on her waist was particularly hot.

She pushed away his hand,

"I'm all right..."

'Why did he say so much to her?

Does he already know that that woman is her?

Or is he just testing me?'

All of a sudden, she felt confused.

Fortunately, she never used an incense, and as he said that fragrance came from the heated body...
