even utter a word of protest, Su Wenhao interrupted him sharply."Master...""Hurry up!"Huai Ping could only obediently go and fetch the carriage..."Zixuan, endure a little longer, the carriage is near...Chapter Thirty-Two

Lift the veil…

"Miss Murong Yue Why Did she know I was coming today That shouldn't be possible, I only met Ke'er today. Could she have foreseen this…" Chen Zixuan muttered to himself, suddenly as if he had realized something.

"Ke'er, your injuries weren't inflicted by her, were they Could it be that the person who has been bullying you all along in the manor is her"

Half a moment later, Ke'er lightly nodded her head.

"Why"

Ka'er lowered her head and said nothing.

My goodness, this girl is going to drive me crazy!

"Miss, the Sixth Prince has come to see you again. Shall I let him in today" Qing'er stood with her head bowed outside the screen.

"No need." Behind the screen, Murong Yue was bathing.

"But, miss, Sixth Prince has requested an audience many times. If this continues, I'm afraid..."

"What's there to be afraid of Sixth Prince is kindhearted and has admired me for years. Ignoring him for a few days won't hurt."

"Yes, this servant will inform the Lord and Miss that her body is unwell."

"Well, remember this from now on: Sixth Prince is just a pawn for this Miss to torment Murong Ke'er, that despicable woman. The Crown Prince is the one this Miss desires. Got it"

Qing'er remembered.

"Why are you just standing here doing nothing when you should be finding out what the prince is up to"

Yes, Qing'er takes her leave.

"What a fool!" Murong Yue said, her voice laced with frustration.

“Of course, you’re not as clever…” A man's voice appeared behind Murong Yue.

When Murong Yue heard the voice, her eyes lit up, but she didn't show it on her face.

“What are you doing here” Murong Yue slowly climbed out of the bath tub, nonchalantly throwing a thin shawl over herself.

The man behind her pulled Murong Yue into his arms, holding her close. "You said...what am I supposed to do Hmm..."

The man's hands began to move restlessly over Murong Yue's body, causing her to gasp in delight.

"Don't... Well..." Murong Yue half pushed and half leaned in, her eyes alluring.

The man tore down Murong Yue's sheer veil and kissed her skin, from her red lips to her collarbone, all the way down...

Muran Yue pushed him, the man left a kiss mark on her collarbone. He looked up at her, his eyes revealing the most primal need, his voice hoarse: "Muran Yue, you've aroused my desire. Do you still want to stop"

"Hehehehehe..." Murong Yue let out a silver bell-like laughter, her emerald green fingers poking the man's solid chest in front of her, "Don't forget, your sixth brother has adored me since he was little, so you can't have me..."

"Haha, Sixth Brother, where did you learn to charm like this little goblin..."

Murong Yue hooked her hands around the man's neck: "But my father wants me to marry the Crown Prince, I am the future empress..."

The man, with a gloomy expression, got off Murong Yue and began to put on his clothes: “Then you might as well marry my older brother. You want him, I won't give it to you, and you know there’s never a shortage of women in my household…”

"But the things we can't have are always the best, aren't they" Murong Yue lay sideways on the bed, sheer fabric covering half of her body. Her fingers unconsciously caressed her collarbone, her tongue slowly licking her red lips, an alluringly seductive look on her face.

The man walked over and lifted her chin. "You're tempting me..."

"So what, but... you can't afford me..."

"Heh heh...Is that so I can give it a try..."

As the gauze curtains fell, a charming scene unfolded within the chamber…

The Prime Minister's residence was filled with boundless spring light, but outside...

"Sixth Prince, the young miss is really ill…" Qing'er looked at her toes, she began to feel a little sympathy for Sixth Prince. The young miss had lofty aspirations, and Sixth Prince would never agree with her choices. Yet, the young miss kept dangling Sixth Prince along like this. Sixth Prince remained unmarried, while the young miss, though still unwed, wasn't because of him…

"Good Qing'er, please go explain to Sister Yue again. That day was just a misunderstanding…" Ruitian Yu looked pitifully towards the residence of the Prime Minister's mansion, his neck stretched almost to breaking point, but he still couldn't wait for Murong Yue.

"Sixth Prince, Qing'er will explain to the young mistress on your behalf."

"You said the same thing yesterday, but Sister Yue still wouldn't see me. Why"

"This, Miss your body is unwell…"

"Yuejie has been sick for two days now, she must have gotten sick because she was angry with me. I have to go in..."

"Sixth Prince, if you go in now, Miss will be even angrier. Perhaps Sixth Prince should wait for Miss to cool down before coming"

“When will Sister NaYue be able to calm down…”

"This... this slave will speak well of the Lord to His Majesty..."

“Well… that’s all there is to it then… Butler, give some silver to Qing'er. Qing'er, you must speak well of me and make many pleas for me. In the future, I will certainly repay you.”

"Qing'er dares not accept such praise. May Your Highness achieve your heart's desire soon..."

The Sixth Prince reluctantly climbed onto his carriage, taking three steps and turning back every two.

"My Lord, I just saw the 29th carriage heading towards the side gate of the Prime Minister's residence." A guard whispered to his lord as he peeked through the carriage curtain.

"Twenty-nine It must be that country bumpkin. What is she doing at the Prime Minister's residence Does she even dare to touch this king's brow again Go, go to the side gate of the Prime Minister's mansion." Country bumpkin, you wait for me, I will skin you alive! You ruined my face and now you even tarnished my fifth brother. Today, I'll settle both scores at once.

"Yes! This subordinate will turn around immediately!"

Chen Zixuan was discussing with Twenty-Nine whether they could force their way into the Prime Minister's Mansion using Rui Tianling's token when Rui Tianyu's carriage appeared.

Ruitian Yu saw Chen Zixuan from the carriage and his eyes turned red: "Country bumpkin, you dare to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Chen Zixuan saw Rui Tianyu and his eyes lit up: "I got it!"

"What's up" Twenty-Nine and Carol looked at Chen Zixuan in confusion.

We let Ruitian bring us to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Isn't he a Prince Doesn't he like Murong Yue Let him take us there!

"But... Master Chen, you don't know this. The Sixth Prince has been requesting an audience with my elder sister these past few days, but she hasn't seen him..." Ke'er's voice was very soft and trembled as she spoke, her eyes constantly glancing at Rui Tianyu walking towards them from afar.

Chen Zixuan smiled, it turned out this girl was interested in Ruitian Yu...

"Bumpkin! What are you skulking around the Chancellor's residence for"

“Hey, please, I'm at the side gate of the Chancellor's residence. Where exactly is that Besides, I'm openly here to see Miss Seven's mother. What are you being sneaky about”

"Miss Qi's mother What do you want to see her for Do you know Miss Qi You even want to see her mother..."

"Isn't this Miss Seven..." Chen Zixuan pulled the shrinking Qier behind him out.

"Six, six, six, six King... , Murong, Murong, Murong Ke'er, participate, participate, see the six King... wish, wish, wish the six King well..." Murong Ke'er stammered and finished these two simple sentences.

Chen Zixuan looked up at the sky silently, little girl, what are you nervous about... This performance is too cheap...

"...Please stand up..." Rui Tianyu looked at Murong Ke'er, and Murong Ke'er's face flushed instantly. Her hands and feet were nervously fidgeting...

Sixth Prince, Sixth Prince… Ca'er adores the Sixth Prince, and he's looking at Ca'er now… He’s looking at me… He must remember me… Sixth Prince, do you still remember me…

Muran Can'er was looking at the Sixth Prince with her eyes, her heart pounding like a startled deer...

Ruitian Yu looked at Murong Ke'er strangely, this… could this be the Murong Ke'er that Yue Jie mentioned Wasn't she said to be sharp-tongued, arrogant and willful, taking advantage of her young age to act capriciously

This... how is this a stutterer

And she looks frail, as if she could faint at any moment...

It's not quite like how Yuejie described it...

"Why are you wearing a veil Take it off... show me your face..."look at them!" Huai Ping stamped her foot in indignation."Oh, Huai Ping, why are you blushing""Yeah, yeah, is it a fever or just too stuffy weather""Haha, you're probably embarrassed because of what...
