Beautiful Transmigrating Librarian: Supreme God’s System - Chapter 71
After half an hour traveling with the horses, all of them arrived at Prime Minister Residence. The residence located near the royal palace but it takes time to head there since the royal palace ground was very vast.
‘Prime Minister Residence was also very grand with the beautiful courtyard in front of it but it’s still not as grand as Long Autumn Palace where I stay. It looks like Qing Tian was really giving me a very special treatment since I help him before.’ Thought Mu Xuan Yin while observed her surrounding full of curiosity.
If Mu Xuan Yin knew that the place where she stays, the Long Autumn Palace was actually the place for the crown princess, Nanshu Empire’s future empress stay. She would probably really shocked and refused to stay there, that’s why Qing Tian did not tell this to Mu Xuan Yin.
Qing Tian got off from his horse and gently helped Mu Xuan Yin to get off from it too. After that, the two of them entered the Prime Minister Residence lead by the red-armored captain in front of them while several captains of Black Dragon Cavalry escorting behind them.
On the way, Qing Tian kept holding Mu Xuan Yin soft hand in his right sweaty hand and his face also very tense.
‘To make the crown prince make this kind of expression, it looks like this prime minister was not really a simple person. It’s clear that even Qing Tian as the crown prince also feels threatened when coming here.’ Mu Xuan Yin thought and her expression turned more serious.
Actually, Qing Tian’s tense and nervousness mostly coming from him holding Mu Xuan Yin soft hand as her warmness transferred to the palm of his hand, Qing Tian that never got any experience with a woman before feeling panicked as his heart beating even faster than before right now and his face was slightly reddened.
The red-armored captain led them to the spacious hall with red carpet and it’s full of expensive furniture adorn with gold. Even Mu Xuan Yin looked around in awe but she did not realize that the antique furniture in her Long Autumn Palace was actually many times more expensive.
At the front of the grand hall sat the fat old man with a long white beard already waiting for them, this fat old man was Nanshu Empire’s current Prime Minister, Bai Liang Su. Just a single glance Mu Xuan Yin already could feel that this fat old man’s noble aura actually did not lose to Qing Tian in the least.
Bai Shao Qing sat beside Bai Liang Su while sobbing pitifully like a weak cat that got bullied.
“Uwuwuwu… Father, this daughter does not want to live anymore! Please let this daughter die!” Shao Qing was bawling even harder when Mu Xuan Yin and Qing Tian entered the grand hall entrance.
Mu Xuan Yin was staring at Shao Qing strangely while thinking, ‘this Shao Qing… It’s really obvious that she waited for us to enter the hall before performing her acting.’ Mu Xuan Yin was almost clapping his hands in amazement with Shao Qing acting skill.
“Qing Er, do not worry! No matter what, Father will seek justice for you!” Bai Liang Su said to Shao Qing firmly then he slowly turned his attention toward Mu Xuan Yin and Qing Tian that walking entered the hall.
“Welcome your highness. I never thought that someday you will come here on your own will and here you are right now.” Bai Liang Su sneered at Qing Tian and talked to him with the tone full of sarcasm.
Mu Xuan Yin frowned even deeper when she heard that this prime minister actually dared to talk to the crown prince with that tone. She can easily tell that the relationship between this prime minister and the crown prince was actually quite hostile.
Bai Liang Su shifted his attention to the young girl beside Qing Tian and his eyes glinted in awe with her beauty and elegant demeanor. No wonder that his daughter felt really threatened by this beauty presence and resorted to dirty trick like put the poison in the tea.
“There is no need to waste our time! We have other matter to attend so make it quick! Why do you call for us here? There is no need to put an act! Just so you know, it’s impossible for Miss Mu to poison Qing Er! Miss Mu only came yesterday, she has not even know where the kitchen is, so how could she poisoned the food!” Qing Tian said to Bai Liang Su but his tone was not polite at all.
“Crown prince, please think carefully… It’s exactly because she had only come yesterday that she becomes the most suspicious one. There was never an incident like this before she came here! And also, do you know what kind of poison that she put in the foods and tea?” Bai Liang Su said calmly while keep patting Shao Qing’s head that still sobbing beside him.
“What kind of poison?” Qing Tian asked with a cold expression. He knows how cunning this old fox was, so there is no doubt that he will cleverly use every clue and fact against them.
“The poison is called Passion Burning Flower. The effect is akin like aphrodisiac but it’s actually numerous times far more potent. The one that consumes it will lose their mind in l.u.s.t and attack every opposite gender that they see until their l.u.s.t fulfilled. From what I think, her aim was actually not my daughter but someone with the higher rank that close to her recently but my daughter accidentally ruins her plan by consuming her poison.” Bai Liang Su sneered and looked at Qing Tian pitifully as if Qing Tian was really got duped.
“Passion Burning Flower?!” Even Qing Tian was agape in shock when he heard this poison name.
Mu Xuan Yin stunned when she heard Bai Liang Su’s words, ‘this fatty old man really had a glib tongue’.
With a few sentences, he could completely reverse the black and white if Bai Liang Su was talking about another girl, even Mu Xuan Yin will fall for his words right now.
“Now my daughter already lost her purity, how could I as her father stay silent? Crown Prince, it’s okay if you do not want to uphold the justice but please do not stand in my way on seeking justice for my daughter!” Bai Liang Su warned Qing Tian with the harsh tone.
“Uwuwuwu… Qing Er does not want to live anymore! Goodbye father!” Shao Qing was crying even harder then she sprinting to the nearby wall like wanted to crash her forehead toward the wall.
“Qing Er!” Bai Liang Su quickly pulled Shao Qing’s hand and hugged her tightly while Shao Qing kept bawling in his embrace.
Mu Xuan Yin widened her brown crystal clear eyes and sighed in amazement with their acting, it’s almost like she watching a soap drama in television.
‘This situation is quite bad though… If I do not do something fast, even Qing Tian will be run out of his words because of their acting and start to doubt me.’ Mu Xuan Yin held her sharp smooth white chin and pondering what she must do now.
“Sigh… It looks like I have no other choice… If you want to act then I will follow your game too!” Mu Xuan Yin raised her long sleeve to cover her face for a moment and using her other hand to poking both of her eyes.
“Ouch… I poke it too deep… Whatever the more tears come out the more effective it will be!” Mu Xuan Yin rubbed her teary red eyes a bit and lowered her sleeve back.
“Qing Tian… I… I really… I really did not do it! You… You must believe in me… Sniff… Sniff…” Mu Xuan Yin held Qing Tian’s arm and looked him with her teary brown eyes looks so pitiful and heartbreaking.
Shao Qing maybe looks quite pitiful when she acted crying but because she was a pampered daughter of the prime minister, the effect was actually not that great.
However, Mu Xuan Yin was different. She always a bright and cheerful girl added with her peerless fairy-like beauty and her calm elegant demeanor. Her weeping was a devastating blow that enough to wrenching all the men that saw it.
“Miss Mu, there is no need to worry! Even if this heaven collapse today, I will definitely protect you until the end!” Qing Tian gritted his teeth harder as his heart feels so painful like being torn apart forcefully when he saw Mu Xuan Yin weeping.
Qing Tian feels very guilty right now because he wavered a bit when he heard Bai Liang Su’s words and how Shao Qing’s acted just now but he already decided at this moment that he will shelter her till the end.
