C30 Part2

....

At the front of the Palace, Murong Ci stopped moving.

The summer was scorching hot, and the poisonous and brilliant sunlight enveloped the world.

It was a bit prickly and painful, drying the delicate skin.

Murong Shi was a little dazed,

'Why did His Highness stand under such a scorching sun?'

"Princess, this Prince wonders if you can help this Prince...Are you willing?"

Murong Ci asked with raised eyebrows.

"I am willing, and I will do whatever Your Highness wants me to do."

Murong Shi immediately expressed her thoughts.

"If that's the case...

From now on, no matter what happens, the Princess should not make noise, let alone move, but just stand obediently."

"I understood."

Murong Ci signaled and two servants came with two wooden buckets of water which they put aside, with a scoop each in the wooden buckets.

Qin Ruo and Ruyi were even more confused,

'What exactly is Your Highness trying to do?'

Murong Shi secretly pondered,

'Does His Highness want to go to the Royal Garden?'

"The Princess must not move, remember."

Murong Ci repeatedly urged, picking up the scoop, and instructing Qin Ruo:

"Whatever this Prince does, you do."

Qin Ruo took her orders and picked up another scoop.

Murong Ci started scooping up water, raising her arm to pour clear water on Murong Shi's head.

Qin Ruo and Ruyi were dumbfounded.

"What......?!"

Although standing under the scorching sun was very hot, but the cool water poured from the top of her head was too unexpected and too frightening.

Therefore, Murong Shi screamed in surprise, and instinctively avoided it, taking out the silk handkerchief and wiping the water on her head, face and clothes.

Murong Ci said with a cold face:

"Did the Princess forget what this Prince said?

Can't wipe, can't move."

"But I'm all wet."

Murong Shi cried out with a bitter expression on her face.

'Although now it's cooler, but my face is wet and uncomfortable.'

"This is what this Prince wants the Princess to do.

Does the Princess want to go back?"

"No... but why do you pour water on my head?"

Murong Shi wanted to cry without tears.

Qin Ruo and Ruyi could only express their sympathy...

Murong Ci said coldly:

"If the Princess is unwilling, this Prince will not force her.

The Princess may go now."

Water drops flowed down from her forehead, Murong Shi gritted her teeth, and went out,

"E-Even... if I get wet, Your Highness, I am willing."

'As long as Your Highness is happy, everything the Prince does is worth it.'

Murong Ci once again urged:

"The Princess must remember, don't move, let alone wipe your face with your hands, understood?"

Murong Shi nodded, took a deep breath, raised her head and chest, looking like ready for death.

Murong Ci winked at Qin Ruo, and began to pour water on Murong Shi's head.

Clear water ran down from the top of her head.

Not long after, Murong Shi's clothes were soaked.

Fortunately, she closed her beautiful eyes which were unharmed.

Her face, on the other hand, was covered with thick powder that became colorful, and the powder rolled down the water flow, pouring down like a mudslide.

Murong Ci stared at her face, studying with interest.

Murong Shi was embarrassed by her stare, and bowed her head embarrassedly:

'Now she must have become an ugly tabby cat.'

Looking at the colorful face of the Princess, Qin Ruo suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise:

"Your Royal Highness is doing verification!?"

"Verify what?"

Ruyi asked curiously.

"Is Your Royal Highness satisfied now?"

Murong Shi asked miserably,

'Why pouring water on her whole body until I'm soaked?'

After pouring two buckets of water, the powder on her face was basically washed down by the water, leaving only a little remnant.

Murong Ci gestured, and Ruyi quickly said:

"This servant maid will now take the Princess back to the side hall to change her clothes."

Qin Ruo followed His Highness to the study and asked:

"Your Royal Highness seems to have already guessed the key to the solution of the mystery of the Blood Rain in the Qingyuan Hall, right?"

Murong Ci sat in front of the book table, with her eyes bright enough to illuminate the half-dark study room,

"You send someone to summon Shen Zhiyan to come to the East Palace."
