....

The Study Room was quiet.

Murong Yu sat in front of his desk, with his eyes falling on the memorial, and his delicately carved snow-colored face not showing joy or anger.

"The Prince Regent has important matters to discuss with this Prince?"

Murong Ci asked straightforwardly.

"I hope that the Prince will give justice to my Family and my son."

Prime Minister Gong bowed his head, and said solemnly.

"The Prime Minister's son has been injured in a vital point, and will no longer be able to have children to pass on the Family name from generation to generation.

As a result, their Family cannot continue their inheritance, which is ridiculed and criticized from the public opinion."

Murong Yu said grimly,

"Princess Zhaohua, the culprit, must be severely punished.

How does Your Highness plan to give justice to the son of the Prime Minister?"

"It is true that Zhaohua hurt Young Master Gong, but this matter is quite weird and paradoxical.

This Prince can't make a conclusion yet about who is right or wrong for the time being."

Murong Ci raised her eyebrows,

"This Prince still needs time to find out the truth."

"What's the paradox? Your Royal Highness isn't being impartial to protect the Princess!"

Prime Minister Gong said angrily, with his face pale,

"Your Royal Highness also said that the Princess hurt my son, so what else needs to be investigated about this matter?"

"Zhaohua hurt your son, that's right, but what if Zhaohua hurt him in self-defense?"

Murong Ci's cold eyes pressed towards him.

"What self-defense?

The Princess hurt him, and took away his inheritance!"

He sternly said, full of anger.

"Your son offended Zhaohua and tried to behave badly.

Zhaohua kept her innocence and hurt him in self-defense by mistake."

She said calmly,

"This is also what your son admitted."

"Prime Minister Gong, let's first calm down."

Murong Yu calmly soothed.

Prime Minister Gong was stunned,

'How could that brat say such a thing?

Obviously he didn't say that last night!'

Murong Ci replied:

"Prime Minister Gong, this matter makes your son and Zhaohua stand up to each other, and it is difficult to tell which one is right and wrong.

However, you can rest assured that I will find out the truth of this matter.

This Prince will thoroughly investigate it.

If it is true that your son was innocently victimized, this Prince will definitely return him justice."

Given the circumstances, what else could Prime Minister Gong say?

Still...

His thick eyebrows moved slightly,

"It is a good thing for Your Highness to investigate it, but I need to be guaranteed that Your Highness will come to a conclusion for this matter, otherwise, isn't the matter going to slowly fade away with no result?"

Murong Yu's eyes became dark, and he said,

"Then ten days will last.

After ten days, Your Royal Highness must give us an explanation."

Murong Ci raised her eyebrows,

"Okay, ten days."

Ten days wasn't short, and she thought it would be more than enough.

Prime Minister Gong retired and left.

She was also about to leave, when she saw Murong Yu walking towards her, with a meaningful smile.

She had a bad feeling, her breathing was stagnant, and she immediately turned and ran.

He leaped forward, clasped her wrist, took her to the wall next to the Study Room door, and besieged her in a small space.

"What are you doing?"

She put her hands on his chest to block him, forcing herself to calm down,

"This is the Study Room!"

"Your Royal Highness has been really busy these few days."

Murong Yu chuckled lightly, with a blade hidden in his smile,

"busy making trouble for this King."

"Why? Why didn't the Prince stay in the Royal Palace for a few more days?

Has your injury healed?"

"Your Royal Highness, do you care about this King?"

"Forget it...The Northern Yan Kingdom still needs the Prince's presence, so you can't collapse."

Murong Ci said with a natural smile,

"There are still important things for me to do, so I'll leave first."

However, she couldn't confuse him at all.

She pushed him hard, but the mountain in front of her did not move.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps coming from outside, and it could be guessed that it was the waiter who brought tea.

The sound of footsteps approached the Study Room door, and Murong Yu suddenly sternly shouted,

"Get the hell out of the way!"

The waiter with the golden lacquer tray stopped abruptly, a little confused.

He naturally recognized the voice of the Royal King, and secretly raised his eyes to look inside the room, but he didn't see him or anyone else.

"No one is allowed to come in without this King's order."

Another stern voice hit the waiter, and he quickly turned around and left, sweating coldly.

During this period, Murong Ci tried several times, but failed to escape his clutches.
