Chapter Thirty-Six

  Looking at the stunning woman sitting in front of him, He Lan Ting's eyes became even more profound, and he remained still for a long time, lost in thought.

  Murong Yi placed her hands on her knees, occasionally stroking the polished cow horn. Xiaoya's eyes were not bad, and she was able to find something that met her requirements in a short time. With a smile at the corner of her mouth, she looked up at the sky, it was getting late, and she should go back to wash and sleep with her soft son.

  She quietly got up, under He Lan Ting's astonished gaze, took out the cow horn and placed it in front of him, smiling: "This cow horn was bought by the civilian girl with a lot of money, and after careful polishing, it is extremely precious. The king can divide this cow horn into two halves, one half polished into a comb for hairdressing, and the other half used for massage. Half an hour before sleep, using this comb to massage, can ensure a good night's sleep, and will definitely make the king sleep soundly and have sweet dreams."

  "What?!?" Hélène's eyes flashed with anger, the horn-like protrusions on her forehead glinting menacingly in the moonlight. Did she think she could deceive him with this thing?!

  He Lan Ting gazed at the breathtakingly beautiful face inches from his, then looked into her eyes that shone with genuine warmth. Suddenly, he wanted to reach out and grasp her slender neck. She was teasing him! "You should know what I mean by a wonderful night."

  "Hmm... what does the king mean by that? I haven't slept or rested for several days, day and night thinking about how to make the king wonderful every night, and finally came up with this method." Murong Yi's expression was innocent, there was no one more innocent than her in the world! She had always been pure and flawless, never misinterpreting anyone's words.

  "Murong Yi, very good." He Lan Ting leaned his body back, away from the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him. Those dark eyes looking at Murong Yi were cold and, of course, also full of disgust.

  "It's getting late, Min Yu still needs to go back and accompany her son, so as not to disturb the king. Min Yu bids farewell." Murong Yi turns around and is about to leave.

  "Tonight you can't escape."

  Murong Yi's smile faded from her eyes, replaced by a cold glint. "The Crown Prince must have come to the Moon Country with a purpose. It definitely wasn't for me. Besides... I'm about to marry the King of Nanqing."

  "Are you really willing to marry Prince Nanqing?" He Lan Ting gazed at the woman's slender back, every line of which was perfectly proportioned. Perhaps her looks were not the most innocent and pure in the world, but they were the most enchanting, capable of making people lose their minds, and also the most seductive. Only, vaguely, he had a feeling that she was not as carefree as she seemed on the surface, and she probably did not want to marry Gong Fei.

  The wind whispers like a song, softly humming.

  Murong Yi smiled faintly again, stroking the fine hair by her ear, and said with a smile: "The people's daughter wants to guard her body like jade for King Nanqing."

  Guarding her body like jade?!!! She said she guarded her body like jade for Wang Fei?!!! She told him with a double-edged tongue that he couldn't touch her, because of the Nanqing King?!!! This woman is indeed good at using everyone around her! She used the Nanqing King to deal with Murong Yin and others, and now she wants to use the Nanqing King to deal with him?

  A cunning and crafty woman!

  He Lan Ting narrowed her eyes, her mind racing with thoughts. She had used people like Nan Qing Wang, Murong Chen, and Murong Yin without hesitation, so what about Chu Meng? Today, Chu Meng's intentions were clear. Even if she hadn't come up with a plan to deal with him, he still wouldn't have touched her tonight. It wasn't because of Nan Qing Wang, nor was it because of her resistance, but because of Chu Meng himself!

  "Murong Yi, you were just divorced and are about to remarry as a concubine, yet you're not content. When did you become involved with the King of Chu State?" He Lan Ting stood up and walked in front of the woman. Suddenly, he collided with her bright and dazzling eyes, like sunlight on a clear day. The water-like ripples in her eyes were instantly sucked in, and he couldn't see or understand what was hidden behind that brightness, making him want to explore further.

  What's wrong?

  Although invisible, he was making an effort to maintain the most ordinary movements in front of her.

  In the game of chess, some people use her, some watch the show, and some are dirty. While she becomes a pawn, she also has another game where she uses those who can be used, without regard for means or morality, but with no other purpose.

  But at this moment, she suddenly realized that Helan Ting didn't force her tonight, not because of Nan Qing Wang, but because of Chu Ming!

  Just two meetings and he helped her?

  For what?

  Although he couldn't see, he could see her struggling to walk?

  Or... another game of chess? She slightly furrowed her brow, as if unwilling to use her thoughts to misinterpret further.

  But...

  "The king's heart already has the answer, so there is no need for further explanation." She said in a low voice. She closed her eyes, and the fragrance of the green grass at the tip of her nose was intoxicating, the fresh scent instantly washing away all the impurities in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was firm as she quickly walked away.

  Watching Murong Yili leave, Lü Muzhe suddenly appeared in the pavilion.

  "Master, perhaps due to the appearance of the Underworld King, Murong Yi may not be able to marry the King of Nanqing smoothly." Lü Muzhe frowned and said in a low voice. The appearance of the Underworld King was indeed an unexpected twist.

  He Lan Ting gazed in the direction that Mu Rong Yi had left, and for a moment, something seemed to shift in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. "Mu Ze, you underestimate Nan Qing Wang." The fact that Gong Fei could hold such power within Wang Yue Guo was enough to demonstrate how formidable he was! Since Mu Rong Yi had been targeted by Gong Fei, she would absolutely not be able to escape easily.

  But... Chu Ming's purpose was very clear, but what thoughts did he have for Murong Yi?

  ……

  The next day.

  It's just dawned.

  Murong Yi was woken up by a sudden commotion.

  There were several people surrounding the courtyard.

  Xiao Ya hastily entered the house and called out to Murong Yi.

  "Miss, a lot of people have come outside! Even the mistress has returned, she's right in the courtyard!"

  Murong Yi lightly furrowed her brow and waved her hand, "Xiao Ya, go to sleep."

  "Miss, where can Xiaoya sleep? Not only is there a madam in the courtyard, but also Vice General Chen and Madame Chen. They are all making noise in the courtyard, shouting to break in. Now it's just a few guards blocking them, I don't know how long they can hold on." Xiaoya said anxiously.
