Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 192

Long Yue quietly sealed the sleeping acupoints of the two palace maids keeping watch at night and sneaked into the bedding palace of Consort Hui.

Upon entering the room, he saw Consort Hui sleeping soundly in bed and sealed her sleeping acupoint across the air.

Long Yue searched Consort Hui’s bedding palace for fifteen minutes or so but he still found nothing abnormal. In the end, he could only leave resignedly.

No sooner had Long Yue left than Zhou Manyun on the bed opened her eyes. Her coquettish eyes glittered fiercely. She pressed her hand on an insignificant bump at the corner of the bed. An entrance appeared in the wall near the bed at once.

As soon as Zhou Manyun went through the entrance, the wall near the bed was restored to its original look.

A while later, Zhou Manyun appeared in the study of the Shengyu Palace.

Zhou Manyun walked to the bookshelf and pulled an insignificant red rope that drooped down the bookshelf.

In Xuanyuan Hao’s bedding palace of the Shengyu Palace, Xuanyuan Hao, who was soundly sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up abruptly, grabbed the clothes from the screen and hurried towards the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Xuanyuan Hao saw Zhou Manyun wearing the undergarment and standing by the window, saying with a slight frown, “Mother, it’s so late. What brought you here? Anything urgent?”

Hearing that, Zhou Manyun turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Hao, “Someone broke into the Yonghe Palace tonight.”

Taken aback, Xuanyuan Hao came to his senses and said, “Are you okay?”

Zhou Manyun shook her head, “They didn’t come for me. It seemed that they were looking for something.”

Xuanyuan Hao knitted his eyebrows, “You mean those people came to the palace for Mu Wan.”

Hearing him mention Mu Wan, Zhou Manyun narrowed her coquettish eyes, “Whether they came here for her or not, she must be transferred as soon as possible. The palace is not safe anymore.”

Xuanyuan Hao frowned and pondered for a while, “Are those people from the Wilderness Holy Region?”

Hearing that, Zhou Manyun sneered, “The people of the Wilderness Holy Region won’t dare to break into my bedding palace.”

After all, they didn’t know Mu Wan was in her hands. Even if they did, no one dared to come to her place and rescue Mu Wan except those several old guys. Yet, those old guys had been in the closed-door training since thirty years ago. Otherwise, how could they let Mu Wan, the former sacred maiden stay outside for so many years?

Xuanyuan Hao’s eyes slightly flickered. Since the trespassers were not from the Wilderness Holy Region, they must be her men. Apart from the Wilderness Holy Region, Mu Wan could only have something to do with her. It must be because she had thought of something that she sent her men to pry into the Yonghe Palace. It seemed that they must transfer Mu Wan.

Xuanyuan Hao looked at Zhou Manyun, “Have you decided where you want to transfer Mu Wan to?”

Rather than answer at once, Zhou Manyun drooped her eyes and lost herself in thought.

Staring at Zhou Manyun hanging her head in silence, Xuanyuan Hao reminded, “We must be careful with the transfer destination. You should know that Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi and the president of Shengjin Academy are all looking for her. If the transfer destination is not reclusive enough, they will find her very soon.”

Hearing that, Zhou Manyun sneered, “In this case, take her to the Wilderness Holy Region.”

She still believed that the most dangerous place would be the safest place. Besides, the Wilderness Holy Region was the place where Mu Wan felt most anguished. Since Mu Wan didn’t want to go back, she must make Mu Wan go back; since Mu Wan wanted to forget it, she would never make Mu Wan forget it then.

Wilderness Holy Region? Xuanyuan Hao was a bit taken aback. He looked at Zhou Manyun and said seriously, “Mother, have you thought it through?”

If they really arrived at the Wilderness Holy Region and Mu Wan still ran away, it would be a great loss.

Zhou Manyun raised her head and looked at Xuanyuan Hao indifferently, “The current Wilderness Holy Region is your place. Without those old guys standing up for her, even if she runs away, we still can take her back.”

Xuanyuan Hao was slightly stupefied and said with a bow, “It’s so wise of you.”

Zhou Manyun looked at Xuanyuan Hao and ordered, “Transfer her as soon as possible. The sooner, the better. However, you must guarantee complete success.”

Xuanyuan Hao took the hint and nodded, “Rest assured. I will have her sent away tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Zhou Manyun curled her lips, “Since she is leaving tomorrow, as her sister, I should say goodbye to her.”

Zhou Manyun walked to the wall. When she saw Duanmu Xi’s portrait, her eyes glistened fiercely, “Since you can’t get her, find a way to ruin her.”

Xuanyuan Hao had a glint of pain in his eyes with his hands drooping on both sides of his body balled into fists. The blue veins stood up on his arms. He couldn’t ruin her. Regardless, he must get her even at the cost of his life.

In the secret chamber, upon hearing the sound, Mei Luo opened her eyes. When she saw it was Zhou Manyun, she closed her eyes.

Zhou Manyun walked to Mei Luo. Upon seeing that Mei Luo opened her eyes and closed her eyes, she showed a displeased countenance and then looked indifferent quickly.

“What? You don’t want to see me?”

Mei Luo still closed her eyes and said nothing except a sneer on her face as if saying that Zhou Manyun knew herself well.

Seeing the sneer on Mei Luo’s face, Zhou Manyun gave Mei Luo a harsh slap.

The clear slap seemed to echo in the enclosed secret chamber.

Mei Luo was slapped to tilt her head but she didn’t open her eyes. She sneered even more disdainfully.

Zhou Manyun got even angrier. She raised her hand and gave Mei Luo several hard slaps.

For the moment, several slaps resounded through the whole secret chamber.

Mei Luo slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zhou Manyun’s pretty face, her dark eyes full of disgust. She spat blood and saliva onto Zhou Manyun’s face.

This time, Zhou Manyun raged completely, her coquettish eyes seething with anger. Regardless of the blood and saliva on her face, she took out a dagger from her storage ring and slit Mei Luo’s face.

The red blood dripped down Mei Luo’s face but Zhou Manyun didn’t cool down. Instead, she slit Mei Luo’s face again and again.

No matter how severely Zhou Manyun hurt Mei Luo, Mei Luo still made no sound and didn’t even lift her eyelids. She looked so cold as if Zhou Manyun were not slitting her flesh.

The colder Mei Luo looked, the crazier Zhou Manyun became. Mei Luo’s facial expression made her feel that she was like a clown. Somehow, Zhou Manyun could always remain indifferent in front of others but always failed to keep her sanity in front of her sister.

Since childhood, their parents always showed partiality to Mei Luo. Their mother even passed down the position of the sacred maiden to Mei Luo. Actually, Zhou Manyun was the eldest daughter and the most excellent one but they had never cared about her. Mei Luo was an idiot who knew nothing about the ways of the world. On what ground could she become the sacred maiden and have that outstanding fiance?

Zhou Manyun must seize whatever Mei Luo had but no matter what she seized, Mei Luo always looked indifferent. Even when she took away Mei Luo’s beloved man back then, Mei Luo still looked so aloof. She couldn’t help doubting whether Mei Luo loved that man. She didn’t believe that Mei Luo loved him and have a sense of pleasure in winning until Mei Luo left the Wilderness Holy Region.

Zhou Manyun didn’t stop until Mei Luo’s face became badly mutilated.

Staring at her masterpiece, Zhou Manyun burst into laughter, “Haha… Haha… Mu Wan, look at yourself. The sacred maiden who used to be so popular has become so utterly battered. Now, even if Mother stood in front of you, she couldn’t recognize you then.”

When it came to Mother, Mei Luo jerked up her head and spat blood on Zhou Manyun’s face. How could this woman mention their mother? She didn’t deserve to be their parents’ daughter.

Rage bubbled in Zhou Manyun’s eyes. She glared at Mei Luo and said fiercely, “You asked for it. Don’t blame me for showing disregard for kinship.”

Hearing that, Mei Luo sneered disdainfully again. Kinship? Since when did Zhou Manyun care about kinship? If she cared about kinship a bit, how could she get their mother killed? Instead, before their mother passed away, she even asked Mei Luo not to blame and punish Zhou Manyun. At the thought of their mother, Mei Luo instantly had tears in her eyes.

Zhou Manyun looked at Mei Luo’s sneer, her eyes glittering maliciously. She stabbed the dagger harshly into her ankle.

Mei Luo felt a sharp pain in her ankle and gritted her teeth. Even though her mouth was full of blood, she still didn’t make a cry.

Seeing that Mei Luo still said nothing, Zhou Manyun sneered, “I must see which one is tougher, you or my dagger.”

She stabbed the dagger deeper and then pulled it out to cut off all the hamstrings of Mei Luo. Then, she cut off Mei Luo’s other leg’s hamstrings.

Mei Luo couldn’t help spitting a mouthful of blood and passed out.

Seeing that Mei Luo passed out, Zhou Manyun felt less angry and then trampled on Mei Luo’s two ankles before getting out of the secret chamber with satisfaction.

In Xuelan House of Prince Zhan’s mansion.

“Argh…” Duanmu Xi who was sleeping suddenly sat up.

Xuanyuan Mo was awoken. Looking at Duanmu Xi’s sweaty and frightened face, he hurriedly sat up and put his arms around her, “Xi, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Are you not feeling well?”

Then, Xuanyuan Mo touched Duanmu Xi’s belly.

Duanmu Xi didn’t answer. It seemed that she hadn’t recovered from the shock of the nightmare. A while later, she put her arms around her knees and began to whimper.

Seeing that Duanmu Xi was crying, Xuanyuan Mo got even more worried. He clutched Duanmu Xi into his arms and said with pity, “There, there. Don’t cry. Tell me. What’s wrong?”

While speaking, Xuanyuan Mo bent down to kiss away Duanmu Xi’s tears.

“Snow…” Duanmu Xi put her hands around Xuanyuan Mo’s neck tightly and buried her face against his chest, saying sobbingly, “Snow… I dreamed… that Third Master was beaten… She was so piteous… So piteous…”

Xuanyuan Mo felt even sadder to hear Duanmu Xi’s sobbing and hugged even more tightly. Then, he stroked her long hair and said gently, “Don’t make wild conjectures. What you dream at night is what you are thinking in the daytime. It’s because you miss Third Master too much that you dreamed about her. Dreams are always the opposite of reality. They can’t be real. Third Master must be fine.”

Duanmu Xi said nothing. She felt that her dream was real, which didn’t seem to be fake at all. She was so afraid. She had a sense of foreboding that Third Master must have a tough time now. She wished to see Third Master now.

She looked at Xuanyuan Mo and shed tears, “Snow, I miss Third Master. I want to meet her now.”

Seeing that Duanmu Xi shed tears nonstop, Xuanyuan Mo felt a gut-wrenching pain and wiped off her tears, saying tenderly, “There, there. I will find Third Master for you as soon as possible.”

“Really?” Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo with expectations.

Xuanyuan Mo slightly curled his lips and rubbed his fingers across her pretty nose, “When did I lie to you?”
