C99 Part1

....

Murong Yu smiled like a breeze,

"Whoever is looking at this King knows better."

Murong Ci glared at him irritably, then decided to concentrate on eating, and stopped paying attention to him.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..."

A fragile cry came from far away.

She didn't recognize the voice at first, but then she realized it was Murong Shi!

Although she had used a strong attitude to order Murong Shi not to pester herself, Murong Shi either pretended to be stupid or couldn't understand her.

Thus she had learned from experience that the only way to avoid her was to hide from her.

However, she couldn't constantly hide from her for a lifetime.

"Since you insisted on me staying in your mansion, you are responsible for not letting your niece entangle with me."

She saw that Murong Shi was only three feet away from the Pavilion.

"Your Highness, rest assured, this King will be responsible."

Murong Yu bit the last two words very hard.

"Your Highness..."

A hint of apricot color whirled into the Pavilion as Murong Shi was out of breath,

She first arranged her appearance.

Her small face was filled with joyful smiles.

She was wearing a fancy apricot yellow summer robe with a silk skirt, just like a golden rose in full bloom in the hot summer, adding a ray of freshness to her flourishing age.

Murong Shi coughed twice, seemingly unaware of what a woman's shyness is, and said softly:

"Your Highness, it's not too hot today.

Why don't I take you around the mansion?"

"Did you not see?

This Prince is still eating."

Murong Ci said coldly, winking vigorously at the man opposite her.

"Then I'll wait for you to finish your meal."

Seeing so many exquisite and delicious meals, Murong Shi couldn't help swallowing,

"Actually, Third Uncle, I'm also a little hungry, can I eat with you?"

Murong Yu's beautiful eyebrows bloomed with a faint smile, but there was a touch of sorrow in the depths of his eyes,

"This King has important matters to discuss with His Highness, why don't you withdraw?"

Her heart seemed to be hit by a glacial winter wind, her limbs became chilly, and a panic appeared in her eyes,

"Yes."

Exiting the Pavilion, she stood beside Qin Ruo, waiting for His Highness.

When Murong Ci saw her waiting there, she sighed helplessly, feeling gloomy.

Murong Yu glanced over, and the maidservant received the order and said to Murong Shi:

"Princess, the Prince Regent and His Highness have important matters to negotiate, and the idlers are not allowed here."

Murong Shi saw that her Third Uncle was unhappy, so she had no choice but leave in a desperate manner.

However, she decided to wait not too far from the Pavilion, at the place where she was before, and she would definitely wait for His Highness.

Murong Ci pondered as him while eating,

"Why would Master Wan Fang paint Xuanyuetan?

Could it be that he has been there?"

"It'd be no surprise if he's been there."

Murong Yu said in a low voice.

"This is too coincidental.

I feel that there's something...I don't know how to say..."

"Eat first, Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao will be shown to public execution at noon."

She nodded, and thought that their execution was the priority, and there will be no delay.

She then remembered something and asked:

"Will the Capital Crimes they committed be made public?"

His eyes were full of sorrow,

"The private sale of Military Weapons is strictly related to Military Secrets, and it's too extensive to be made public."

Murong Ci asked again:

"Master Wan Fang, Master Wang Tao and their families deserve death.

What do you plan to do with the relatives, friends, and other Officials of the Military Supervisor Facility?"

Murong Yu's thin lips lightly opened, and he spoke gently:

"Selling Military Weapons is a Capital Crime like treason, and it can't be tolerated.

All the Family members in their nine generations will be punished the same way as Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao.

Likewise, the Officials and other accomplices will."

A simple sentence determined the life and death of hundreds of people.

His stern and sharp eyebrows were like a blade, and although he didn't show it directly, there was a thin line of murderous intent forced out of his eyes, which was shocking to the soul.

Her heart started thumping, and her blood was boiling in anger:

'Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao really deserve to die.

What they've done had pushed our Northern Yan Country into a state of chaos.

Even if they died and paid for their sins ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to atone it.'
