Prince’s Brutal Consort - C111

What was left was to let nature take its course. In the end, she was still powerless to fight against him.

The journey from the palace to the city had been smooth, but the light embrace on her chest always reminded her of the night before, the dart, the note, and the man who had thrown it, all of it baffling and puzzling.

The Rushing Willow Manor was located at the southeast of the capital. Because it was a Royal Manor, the roads that led to it were extremely flat and relaxed. It could be said that it had been rebuilt in the past few days.

Perhaps, he had already been planning to leave the palace this time, only wanting to bring her along and even throwing away the matter of the talent show. If those assistant ministers were to find out about this, they might even accuse her of something.

As the carriage travelled up the mountain, it became more rugged and meandering. From afar, they could see a towering villa on the mountainside, and the fragrance of flowers wafted from the mountain. Compared to the fragrance of the palace’s flowers, there was even more of a naturally mixed smell of earth.

The carriage entered the manor’s heavily guarded gates. The fragrance of the flowers was even stronger as the butterflies flew around in the carriage, making it hard for anyone to take in what was happening.

Not far away, there was a pink figure standing under a tree. A parasol covered in oily paper was raised above her head. Seeing the carriage pass by, the woman waved her handkerchief incessantly as if greeting Xi Men Rui Xue.

Ruo Ruo’s body suddenly stiffened. She also lazily stared. “Your majesty, it’s time for you to let go of me.”

In the past, the more she begged him, the more he would not let her go. However, at this moment, Xi Men Rui Xue complied with her request and released her. She leaned forward and quickly got off the carriage.

Xi Men Rui Xue left quickly, but she quickly arrived beside the girl who had been standing under the tree. He wrapped his arm around her waist, then pulled her over to leave. He did not expect that the girl would easily let him escape.

The lady was still standing at her original spot respectfully. At this moment, Ruo Ruo could already clearly see who she was.

She was mustard, the woman who had saved her at the palace.

“Miss Qin is here.” She bent down to pay her respects to the blessing, humbly making it impossible for him to connect her with the girl who had saved her that day.

Stunned, Ruo Ruo forgot to let her get up.

“Ah Mo, hurry and get up, I want to catch some fish.”

Her slender hands were firmly clenched, making it so that even if mustard wanted to earn a living, it was impossible to break free. At the moment, she was so anxious that her face was pink as she said, “Your majesty, you and Miss Qin have just arrived. Laotong, you should rest for a while before going fishing.”

“Oh, if you didn’t say it, I would have forgotten. Ruo’er’s little Yue is done sitting down. Alright then, we’ll go and rest first.” As if unwilling, he released the mustard foam on his hand and returned to the carriage, looking a little impatient as if he had treated it as a burden, “Hey, Qin Zhiruo, hurry up, we’ll catch some fish after you change your clothes.”

His tone was so excited that it sounded like that of a child’s. He tossed the bad grudge he had just gotten into out of his mouth, “Can we really catch fish here?”

“Of course. When has I ever lied to you?” Although his gaze was gentle, it seemed to be able to pierce through a person’s heart, causing her to be unable to resist and not dare to look at him again.

“Hurry up and leave.” This time, it wasn’t that he was anxious, but she.

“Miss, this umbrella is for you. Don’t ruin your skin.” However, mustard foam dutifully opened another paper umbrella and passed it over to Ruo Ruo.

“Don’t worry, I’ve never been afraid of the sun, so I don’t want anything that’s too tiresome.” When catching fish, she would catch fish with an umbrella in one hand. It would be weird if she caught one, so she didn’t need to take any umbrella.

The mustard could only be put away. Then, he lifted up the corner of his skirt and elegantly followed the two of them towards an exquisite courtyard.

She lowered her head to smell it, but there was only a moment of freshness left. She wanted to go to the brook that Xi Men Rui Xue had talked about even more. She wanted to catch fish.

It was unknown if they had already known that they had come at this time, so the inner room was already prepared for them to bathe and change their clothes. However, when they looked around, they couldn’t see the steaming hot tub and hot water.

“Your majesty, you should go bathe in a hot spring.”

“Alright.” Xi Men Rui Xue responded humbly. Then, she walked over and wanted to take off her makeup. Ruo Rui asked casually, “Your majesty, when will Cui Er arrive?” Although the mustard was not bad, she was still used to Cui’er’s service.

“Cui Er is staying in the palace, so in the past few days, my room and yours have been completely taken care of by mustard.”

“Oh.” She wanted to say something, but the mustard was by her side, making it difficult for her to protest in front of the mustard.

After removing the golden hairpin, the mustard foam led Ruo Ruo to the room next door. It was the same arrangement as the one in the capital, the pool of water was steaming, and the mustard foam hand had already landed on Ruo Ruo’s body, as if to help her undress. At that moment, she really wanted to jump into the water and wash herself thoroughly, but Cui Er had to wipe her body every day for seven days, so she really wanted to take a bath now. She reached out her hand to take off the belt. If she didn’t have a choice, then she wouldn’t even be able to see Cui Er.

“This …” He paused for a moment. “The emperor said that a lady’s body is weak, so it’s better to let a servant take her place.”

“Where’s the emperor?” Only then did Ruo Rui realize that Xi Men Rui Xue did not follow him. She did not know where he had gone to, “Mustard, wait for me here. I will go and see the Emperor.” She did not believe that he would let her off so kindly. That dark Ximen Ruixue could do anything.

“Miss, don’t go …” Mustard hurriedly followed behind him, but he was still a step too late.

Walking on the carpet that led to the inner chamber, the sound of footsteps could be heard. The door was gently pushed open, but a low voice came from within the room. “Your Majesty, Prince An’s soldiers and horses have already been summoned.”

“Then what about Qin Zhiqing?”

“He’s the one who took Prince An’s men to me.”

“Haha, he seems to be knowledgeable.” Haha, he seems to be knowledgeable.

“But, your majesty, Qin Zhiqing is leading those two hundred thousand men to the capital day after day. Now that you’ve handed over power to Qin Xiang and Yun Xiang, aren’t you afraid that Qin Xiang will turn the tables?”

“Don’t worry, Qin Zhiqing is doing this for Qin Zhiruo. As long as one day that Qin Zhiruo is in my hands, he wouldn’t dare to make a judgment.”

Ruo Ruo’s expression changed. She didn’t expect that Xi Men Rui Xue would threaten Qin Zhiqing. She wanted to continue listening, but Mustard, who had already caught up with her, coughed softly. Xi Men Rui Xue quickly ended their conversation.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of being discovered, Ruoruo pushed the door open and entered. “Your majesty, there’s only one hot spring water. Why don’t your majesty wash it first? This is the way to comply with etiquette.” She didn’t want to wash off half of his sudden appearance. If that was the case, then wasn’t she going to be seen off by him? Thinking about how he used her to threaten Qin Zhiqing, she felt an indescribable awkwardness in her heart.

In the end, she still couldn’t let go of him. The estrangement between them in the An Yang mountain had already disappeared. She no longer felt bitter inside.

However, Xi Men Rui Xue was not in a hurry to answer her. She looked at the mustard in her eyes and said: “Didn’t I tell you to help Miss Qin bathe? Why did you come out again? ”

“Your Majesty, your servant …” Mustard looked down, feeling wronged, not knowing what to say.

“Get down.” Her gaze swept across the mustard once again. Her voice was filled with anger. That voice made her body not only tremble, but it also made her feel more and more uncertain about Xi Men Rui Xue.

The mustard drool followed Fu Qing with its head lowered as it left the room. It even closed the door behind it.

When the two doors on the left and right closed, they blocked the sunlight outside the door as well. In the midst of the gloomy air, there was an incomprehensible and incomprehensible aura covering Ximen Ruoxue. She did not know what he was going to do with her.

Just as she was at a loss as to how to face him, Xi Men Rui Xue’s tall body strode towards her. He was so tall, only now did the barefoot Xi Men Rui Xue realize that he was taller than her by one head. That height made her feel pressured.

“Ruo Ruo, how about you accompany me in the bath?” Although she was smiling, her harmless face clearly revealed a hint of arrogance. Right now, he was just forcing her. Thinking about it this way, maybe the thing he just said was something he wanted her to hear on purpose.

Remembering the collaboration of the mustard, Ruo Ruo couldn’t help but feel a pinch in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

As she was hugged horizontally by him, her lithe and beautiful face was pressed against his white clothes. Smelling the heavy fragrance coming from his body, Ruo Ruo slowly closed her eyes as a wave of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. In the end, they did not transform into a single teardrop, and she did not want to be reduced to tears in front of him.

Was Qing Qing going to rely on Xi Men Rui Xue for her?

Once again, they walked to the hot spring water room that was filled with steam. “Zhiruo, I have yet to hear your answer.” He bent his head and whispered in her ear.

He closed his eyes and chuckled. “His Majesty’s words are the will of the Emperor. How could he dare disobey the Holy Will?” The implication was telling him that even if he wanted her body, it would only be because of his strength and not because she actually gave it to him.
