C136 Using the White Lotus

Yu Longchen walked out of Mu Po's study and looked at every move in the study through the window.

Every expression and action of Mrs Miao could not escape his eyes. When she saw Mu Po put away the piece of paper, she quietly returned to her own mansion.

There was still one more thing that he had to do to get news of Mu Ruqing.

Changxu didn't know about his return to the mansion. The first place he went to was the courtyard where White Lotus lived.

At that time, Mu Ruqing had thought of something and arranged for White Lotus to stay in her original courtyard. White Lotus was the only one inside and outside.

It was also because of this that the people who had been with her started to hate her more and more when they saw that she was in dire straits.

The white lotus' originally white hands were already covered with calluses and tiny scars. Its skin was also not as good as it was before and became rough.

In the evening, just as she came out of the kitchen, she was called back to pour slop water. She cleaned the huge kitchen by herself.

When Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing went out, the Mistress of the mansion had already left. The mansion was under the watch of Changxu and Lingyue, as well as the housekeeper of the mansion.

Therefore, when the kitchen was not busy, White Lotus became the busiest person in the mansion, from morning to night.

Xiangyi did not like her to begin with. She did not find trouble with her for a day and only asked her to do more work. Lingyue did not care and allowed Xiangyi to mess around.

The color of the horizon changed from golden to dark and the moon emerged from the clouds. The crickets' cries covered the slight sound of the white lotus shutting the kitchen door.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he used the moonlight and lanterns to walk on the already familiar road and leisurely returned to his courtyard.

He placed the lanterns on the table, closed the door, and turned around. A black shadow flashed across the room, scaring White Lotus. A person heavily leaned against the door, gasping for breath. She put her hand on the bolt and ran out as soon as she was ready for anything unusual.

After a long time, he did not see anything else. His heartbeat slowed down, but his hand still did not dare to leave the bolt.

Yu Longchen's face, which had captivated all living things, was revealed from the light curtain behind the screen. His slender fingers pulled out a long shadow under the candlelight!

There was a trace of a smile on Yu Longchen's resolute face. His eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes were sharp. His pair of ink-black eyes had a delicate figure of a white lotus, and his thin lips slowly raised. It was truly a smile that made people lose their minds.

When the white lotus saw Yu Longchen, it turned from fear to surprise, and then it thought about its own experience. Two lines of clear tears rolled down from the corner of its eyes, as if it was silently accusing Yu Longchen.

"What? Did I scare you?" Yu Longchen's voice was still as magnetic as before, as if every word he said was only for you. He did not notice the tears on the white lotus' face. He thought that she was scared out of her wits.

"Your... Your Highness." White Lotus took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and wiped her tears with her dirty sleeves before she finally spoke. Perhaps it was because there were too many things that she felt wronged that she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

Yu Longchen finally noticed it. He walked to White Lotus with his head held high and strode forward. He did not do anything unnecessary. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Seeing... His Royal Highness is happy." Hearing Yu Longchen's comforting voice, an ugly smile appeared on the sad face. There was a strong determination on his face.

It made people have no choice but to give up on loving her. The white lotus did not hug her. Instead, it kept a distance from Yu Longchen. This was what Yu Longchen had hoped for.

"Your Highness, didn't you go out to play? With the Princess..." His tone was probing and also sour. Seeing Yu Longchen doting on Mu Ruqing so much, how could she not be sad and jealous?

"Don't mention it. It was just a small matter and that woman had a big fight with me." When Yu Longchen said this, he frowned as if he was filled with anger when he mentioned Mu Ruqing. "Let's leave her alone for now and let her know what to do and what not to do. If that's the case, I really miss your tenderness... "

Yu Longchen's voice became softer and softer, and White Lotus slowly became happy. It turned out that there was still me in her heart. She had wanted to take Yu Longchen down just like that. However, when she thought of Yu Longchen's indifference towards her a few days ago, she pretended to be angry. He ignored him.

"What's wrong? Are you angry with This King?" His tone was indifferent, making it hard for one to discern his emotions, "So it turns out that all you women are the same. You only like to haggle over trivial matters." After saying that, Yu Longchen walked to the door and pretended to go out.

White Lotus knew that she was being a bit impudent. She grabbed Yu Longchen's sleeve. She didn't want to give up, and her face turned red like an apple. He was the prince. I can only accept what he said and did. He could not refute. It was precisely because Mu Ruqing was too impudent that she lost her love. Now that the Royal Highness has come to my place, I should seize the opportunity. Mu Ruqing will not, I will.

Yu Longchen's back was facing the white lotus. His eyelids moved but he still did not shake it off. He straightened his face and raised his eyebrows. He looked back at the white lotus. "What is it?"

Without saying anything, the white lotus hugged Yu Longchen's waist and said in a coquettish tone, "Your Highness, don't leave. The white lotus is looking forward to you every day and night. Your Highness is the one in the heart of the white lotus."

"Is what you said true?" Yu Longchen was dissatisfied with the movement of the white lotus, but he could not push her away. His hands moved a few inches behind her back, but he still did not hug her. He only put it on her shoulder with a joyful expression. It was more realistic to act!

White Lotus let go of Yu Longchen, lowered her head, and nodded with a red face.

"If I had known earlier, I would have taken you in. However, you can only be a concubine first. After giving birth to a son and a daughter for this king, you can be raised as a concubine." Yu Longchen looked at her with a pleading look in his eyes.

White Lotus knew that her status was low and that she was only the daughter of a farmer. If she wanted to be the prince's concubine, she could only be his concubine first. She needed a son and a daughter to be carried to the position of the concubine. But he still had some hesitation. Being magnanimous in front of Yu Longchen and letting her admit that she was inferior to Mu Ruqing were two different things.

"You are not willing?" Yu Longchen saw her hesitation and put one last pressure on her, "If you want to leave this king, you can leave at any time..."

She came for you, how could she leave? White Lotus was not in a hurry. She told him what she was worried about. "White Lotus can't wait to be your servant. As long as you serve the king, you will be willing to be his servant for the rest of your life. However, White Lotus is worried that if you force me to be your concubine, if the princess does not agree, you will be in a dilemma, won't you? If the relationship between the Royal Highness and the Princess is disrupted because of White Lotus... White Lotus is absolutely unwilling!"

Her words were sincere, as if she was thinking for Mu Ruqing and protecting her understanding personality. You have also hurt Mu Ruqing's reputation. You have once again reminded Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing of her petty, arrogant, and bossy temper.

As expected, Yu Longchen's face darkened and became unhappy. "What does this king's matter have to do with her? Not to mention that you only have one concubine, even if you take eight or nine concubines, what does she dare to do? If you really annoy me and divorce her, Royal Father won't blame you! "

The white lotus face was worried for Mu Ruqing, but her heart was so happy that it was about to fly. Mu Ruqing, there will be a day when you will be hated by the Royal Highness? But how could the beautiful, kind, and gentle her make Yu Longchen dislike her?

There was a hypocritical expression on her face. "His Royal Highness, don't say such things. The Princess is your wife. She just loves you too much..."

"You don't have to speak for her anymore, I know who she is better than you." Yu Longchen said it casually. The invisible pressure made the white lotus at a loss for what to do. "Xiangyi always makes things difficult for you. Last time, I wanted to kill her, but the time was not right. Now that the Princess is not here, I will tell you a plan to get rid of her. It's a matter of time before you become a concubine. "

This is a temptation, and I don't know if it's to take revenge for me. White Lotus had long hated Xiangyi to the bone. Now that the opportunity had come, even if she was not the only one who was doted on by the Royal Highness, why not?

Yu Longchen knew that she would not refuse. He whispered a few words into her ear, asking her to rest earlier. He even helped her cover herself with a blanket and waited for her to sleep before leaving.
