Chapter 32: The Elegant and Refined King of the Underworld

  "King of Chu Hua's underworld? Please come in quickly!" Murong Chen secretly wiped his sweat, how did the King of Chu Hua's underworld come here?

  King of Hell?

  Who else?

  What's it got to do with her!

  "Father is really sincere in solving things." Murong Yi said coldly.

  He Lan Ting narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a bit surprised in his heart. Chu Ming had arrived? They were supposed to meet at the Furong Wine House this afternoon... He glanced at Murong Chen, who was no longer willing to waste time, and said casually: "Since Prime Minister Murong has settled it this way, I won't pursue it further either. You can go now. I have a guest arriving."

  Murong Chen's face sank even further. According to his previous guesses, He Lan Ting shouldn't be so heartless, which was why he made this decision. But unexpectedly, He Lan Ting actually accepted it just like that!

  "Old Master!"

  "Dad!"

  Murong Yin and Jiang Yue were shocked. On their way here, they had already mentally prepared themselves for this. The old master was doing this to show his determination in front of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince should have given him some face by just lightly punishing them. But now he agreed! If they left the Prime Minister's mansion, then everything would be over!

  "You cheap woman, if it weren't for you, Yin'er wouldn't have done such a humiliating thing! How would she have provoked the Emperor?! And how would Master have been reprimanded by the Emperor?! It's all because of you, you should be left to wander outside and be bullied!" Jiang Yue scolded.

  Murong Yin gazed at Murong Yi with resentment, although she had a thousand words to scold her, but she bit her lip and pulled Jiang Yue's sleeve, letting her not speak more. At this moment, they were already being calculated as dead. If they continued to entangle, it would only provoke He Lan Ting further, and the result couldn't be changed anyway. She waited for He Lan Ting to leave, looking at how long Murong Yi could still be arrogant!

  Although Jiang Yue was furious, the current situation did not allow her to do anything else. Even if scolding Murong Yi felt great, at this time Murong Yi had won the favor of Emperor Xuan, and whatever she did would be detrimental to herself.

  Leave? Hum! She will one day return in glory. At that time, she will definitely torture Murong Yi to the point of begging for life and death.

  Several servants immediately came forward to help Jiang Yue and Murong Yin, the two of them looked at Murong Chen with a reluctant gaze, hoping that he would fulfill his previous promise to them.

  Murong Chen remained silent for a long time before bidding farewell to He Lan Ting.

  How ruthless! A person who only has official position and future in his eyes is truly not as good as a beast! If Jiang Yue and Murong Yin have too many illusions about Murong Chen, they will probably die from spitting blood in the future!

  Murong Yi stood up, smoothed her skirt, and since she had already seen what she needed to see, there was no need for her to continue staying. "Since the Crown Prince has a noble guest arriving, this commoner will not disturb you further, I bid farewell."

  He Lan Ting's dark phoenix eyes smiled and swept away, scanning up and down Mu Rong Yi's slender body, finally fixing on Mu Rong Yi with a deep gaze, his mouth curved into a hint of a smile. "Mu Rong Yi, tonight is the time for our travel promise, I have limited patience, this time you cannot escape or refuse!"

  Upon hearing this, Murong Yi's slightly raised eyebrows moved slightly, her eyes rippling like water, and a bright smile bloomed on her face like a rose. Her lips parted lightly, "Your Majesty need not worry, I am not one to go back on my word."

  Is it that easy? Helan Ting's sharp eyes, like an eagle's, scrutinized Murong Yi, but the woman showed no unusual reaction. However, this woman was cunning and unpredictable, absolutely not someone who could be easily controlled. Yet she had indeed agreed!

  At the moment when Helan Ting was distracted, Murong Yi had already walked out of the pavilion with a graceful figure. When he raised his head and wanted to ask her a few more questions, he saw her elegant back. He slightly furrowed his brow, and a strange feeling flashed in his heart, with a faint scent lingering around his nose, like the dew on a clear morning, or perhaps the light fragrance of an unknown small flower. In short, it was a scent that would make people slightly distracted. Most women have the smell of cosmetics, or the fragrance of various spices, and even more so, the fragrance of a young girl, but this fragrance, he was sure it was on Murong Yi's body.

  "Master, is it really impossible to save Miss Murong?" Lü Mùzé heard that Chǔ Miǎo had arrived and walked out of the house to meet him in the pavilion. Unintentionally, he saw that He Lan Ting seemed to be staring at the back of Murong Yīlì as she left, and was slightly distracted, so he asked aloud.

  The ripples of the flowing water, blown by the wind behind him, were reflected in Helan Ting's quiet and profound black eyes. As the ripples drifted away, a certain part of his eyes seemed to move slightly with them. His mouth curved into an indifferent and ruthless arc, "She must marry the King of Nanqing."

  Lü Muzhe's handsome face broke into a smile, "I know that in the master's heart, all women are not worth mentioning, and the only one who can occupy a place in the master's heart is Miss Su."

  ……

  The scenery around is beautiful with birds singing and flowers fragrant, the bird's voice is pleasant to hear, the flower's fragrance is intoxicating.

  Murong Yi's half-narrowed eyes seemed to be sizing up the scenery, but also seemed to be concentrating on thinking about something.

  A person walked towards me and stood quietly in front of me.

  That person wore a plain light blue shirt, with a simple and elegant style. On the wide sleeve mouth, several orchids were embroidered with silver thread. Murong Yi inadvertently glanced at that person, his heart moved, as if in an instant he was in the spring light and willow color, and he was the most transparent and clear one.

  His black and white eyes seemed to be looking ahead, yet seemed to be staring at her. Looking into his dark and deep eyes, a hint of clear and peaceful smile, unexpectedly, a thread of pain flashed in her heart. He was desperately disguising his own blindness!

  Is he the King of Hell? In Murong Yi's memory, there seemed to be no existence of this person called the King of Hell.

  "Miss Murong."

  He suddenly spoke up in a voice that was still as warm and gentle as jade.

  However, he couldn't see her, yet he easily called out to her!

  She smiled faintly: "The mortal maiden has seen the King of Hell."

  Chu Ming nodded slightly, and after hearing her voice, a hint of a smile seemed to flash across his eyes as well. His gaze concentrated on her direction in an instant, and he walked towards her. As he approached, his voice was slightly lowered, asking: "Miss Murong, have you been well lately?"

  Murong's eyes flickered, and it was likely that the entire city of Jing was buzzing with rumors about her being divorced and marrying the King of Nanqing in just a few days. Although he was from Chuhua Country, since he was currently in Wangyue Country, he must have also heard something. However... no one had asked him if she was doing well. She nodded slightly, then suddenly thought that he couldn't see her, so she smiled and said, "I'm fine." Yes, I'm fine, as long as I'm not dead, everything is fine.

  "Miss Murong... if you need my help, just let me know." Chu Ming said with a smile, his tone perhaps betraying a worry and anxiety he himself was not aware of.

  "No need." Murong Yi replied succinctly, without a hint of hesitation. The situation she was facing now was difficult and fraught with danger, but what she had to do wasn't so clean either. "The King of the Underworld has come to see the Emperor, it's not convenient for me to disturb them, I'll take my leave first." As soon as she finished speaking, she walked past him, catching a glimpse of the few pure white orchids on his sleeve with her peripheral vision, and at the same time, she also caught a whiff of the faint scent of orchids.

  He likes orchids.

  Chu Ming was silent and expressionless, shaking her head slightly in her heart. Did she know what kind of person the upcoming Nan Qing Wang was?

  A moment later, Murong Yi returned to her residence at Luo Yin Yuan.

  A strange maid who was standing guard at the door came forward and said to Murong Yi, "Young mistress, the King of Nanqing is in the front courtyard, waiting for you."

  King of Southern Qing?

  Digression

  Nan Qing Wang has arrived, and it is said that he is a ruthless and cruel person who does not cherish or appreciate the beauty of others.
