Lethal Flower - Chapter 67 The Envoy

Shuang, was wearing a mint dress with black painted plum flowers from the edge of the dress up to the knee level and a plain white outer robe. Half of her hair was pinned by a silver pin decorated with a green and black colored butterfly and three small green hanging butterflies at the tip of the pin. The rest of her hair was hanged down freely. She was wearing a white veil as usual.

The accompanying Imperial Guards saw Ren Shuang disrespectful act and accosted the girl but was stopped by the person inside the carriage.

Someone tugged Shuang’s dress and reminded her to pay respect. Shuang awkwardly kowtow not minding the different murmurs from the people around her.

‘Who is she?’ So disrespectful!’

‘Lucky her, the prince is in a good mood or else she was beheaded right away.’

‘Yeah, I heard that the first prince is quite ruthless.’

‘Hummph! She just want to catch the prince’s attention.’

‘Fool! She think she can easily seduce the prince using her beauty! What a naive!’

‘Whose family is she from?’

‘But she’s truly beautiful even with a veil.’

‘Don’t exaggerate. I’m sure she’s ugly behind that veil. If not, why wearing a veil? Surely to hide her unbearably ugly face just like the daughter of the Ye family.’

“Don’t mind them. You are new here and maybe the first time seeing a person from the Imperial Family so it’s understandable.” The person who tugged Shuang’s dress said referring to her reaction upon seeing the Prince’s carriage earlier.

“Hmmm, I never mind them. Thank you for earlier. How did you know I’m newly here?” Shuang said while her eyes still followed at the passing carriage.

The person laughed lightly. “It’s because I am very familiar to every faces of person leaving in this City. Even the merchants and some other travelers. So I am sure that you are new here as I am not familiar with your face.”

This time Shuang turned around to looked at the talking person beside her and she was surprised. With a half step distance from each other, Shuang clearly saw the person’s features.

‘Woah! I never thought that the person who saved me earlier owned a very pleasant appearance. The man was around twenty. He was wearing a white clothes and denim colored outer robe. Half of his long hair was tied up by a silver hair accessory. He has a slightly thicker upward eyebrows, smiling eyes, pointed nose, thin lips and two displayed dimples.

Shuang activated her ability and she saw the azure color around the man which represent the nobility. Then she saw a pear green which tells that the man was friendly. And finally a sky blue color which represents kindness and honesty.

The man was also surprised when Shuang turned around and saw her face closely. Specially with those hypnotizing pair of obsidian eyes. The girl owned a smooth porcelain white skin. A black shiny silky straight hair. Even with a veil, his instinct towards opposite sex tells him that the girl is very attractively beautiful.

The scene of them looking and inspecting each other closely did not scape by the two pairs of eyes inside the passing carriage.

“Who’s that girl?” The one person asked.
