C98 Part3

....

On the way back to the Royal Palace, Murong Yu and Murong Ci rode their horses forward slowly.

The sky was high, the night was quiet, and the sky was full of stars to accompany them on the street.

The breeze flicked from the cheeks and ears, comfortable and cool.

At this moment, they were not sleepy at all, thinking about what had happened in the past two days, clarifying some confused thoughts.

The Young Master in Golden Clothes was good at planning, and he always seemed to be a step ahead of them, and even tricked them once.

However, they also had a clue.

"What are your thoughts?"

Murong Ci was a little excited.

"Now is not the time to think about it.

It'll be dawn in more than an hour, thus Your Highness doesn't have to go back to the East Palace, but just rest in the Royal Palace."

Murong Yu said in a low voice.

"Nothing will happen tomorrow, so I'll return to the East Palace first..."

"Of course something will happen tomorrow. This King will show Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao to the public for the first time tomorrow."

She was stunned by his words.

He said it in such a casual way, that she couldn't believe he actually said such a major thing.

However, although the method was harsh, showing Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao to the public would be a great deterrent to the other civil and military Officials and the people of the Imperial Capital, and it was also a serious warning to the Young Master in Golden Clothes.

She somewhat admired his determination and brain.

Suddenly she felt that they were riding too slowly under the shining starlight, which was a bit strange.

She secretly moved her eyes to the side, and stared at his figure.

He was standing proudly like a god.

His body was like a mountain, and his snow-white face was dotted with faint midnight stars, elegant and somewhat dark.

She couldn't help but stare at him, unable to move away her eyes.

"What is Your Highness looking at?"

Murong Yu suddenly turned his head and asked.

"No...nothing..."

Murong Ci retracted her gaze in a panic, and touched her forehead in embarrassment,

"It's just that my forehead is a little bit painful."

"It's hard to imagine that Your Highness would calmly ride a horse on the street with this King on such a night."

He laughed at himself and smiled.

"Yes, I didn't expect this..."

She suddenly realized something and shut up immediately.

'What are you blabbing about?'

He drove the horse closer to her, and held her little hand that was holding the rein, and she shrank and said angrily:

"What are you doing?"

Murong Yu held her little hand firmly and looked at her deeply,

"Your Highness, your enemy is not me."

Murong Ci was stunned, seeing his deep eyes, which were stained with starlight, gleaming with sincerity and frankness.

'Can you believe what he said?

Can he be trusted?

Believe it today, what about tomorrow? What's next?'

She was awakened suddenly, and didn't answer, showing indifference.

"Do you not believe me, Your Highness?"

Murong Yu asked in a low voice.

"Does it matter whether I believe it or not?"

She curled her lips slightly.

"Yes, it's not important."

His thumb gently scratched the palm of her hand, showing intimacy.

"The important thing is that Your Highness has this King in your heart."

Murong Ci silently withdrew her hand, pulled on the rein, and galloped,

"I'm exhausted, let's go back soon."

He swept his horse and quickly followed.

...

It would be a waste of time to go back and forth to the East Palace to rest.

So Murong Ci finally decided to stay overnight in the Royal Palace, which made her a bit anxious.

She slept for three hours, and when she got up she was already 9 a.m.

After Qin Ruo waited for her to wash, a maidservant came to report that the Prince Regent asked her to come over to eat breakfast.

The maidservant led the way, and Murong Ci and Qin Ruo came together to a five-cornered Pavilion.

Surrounded by beautiful flowers and rich fragrance, the lotus in the pond was just so beautiful and elegant, slim and clean, with a touch of light red like the shy red cheeks of a young woman, very pleasing to the eye.

Murong Yu was sitting in the Pavilion drinking tea, and seeing her coming, his cold facial features softened a bit,

"Your Highness, please sit down."

Qin Ruo and the maid retreated to the shade of the tree outside the Pavilion.

Looking at the sumptuous meals on the stone table, including breakfast and lunch, Murong Ci smiled and said,

"I'm really hungry, I'll dig in."

After saying so, she took a piece of fragrant and soft pastry and swallowed it quickly.

He scooped a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her,

"Try the lotus leaf soup."

She ate two spoonfuls unceremoniously and was full of praise,

"It's really good. Don't you want to eat it, too?"

He smiled lightly, as if watching her eating with relish was enough to make him feel full.

However, after a bit, he also picked up the silver chopsticks to eat.

While eating, her eyes moved to the side, and once again she glanced at him:

he was still wearing a light black robe, elegant and luxurious in the blossoming scenery.

He had a hint of a smile on his spring breeze-like face, and those black beautiful eyes were gleaming brightly.

Just how beautiful he looked.

"If you want to look, you can just look at openly."

Murong Yu smiled.

"Who is looking at you?"

Murong Ci lowered her eyes in embarrassment, with a thin flush of red flying on her cheeks, and she muttered,

"Don't be shameful."
