C196 What the Hell Was That
After entering the palace, a few children were in the carriage. They pulled one by one. They didn't dare to speak and didn't dare to walk around. They looked at the surrounding grand buildings and raised their necks high. They couldn't turn around. Even the deer obediently pulled on the arm of the oldest child.
"They..." Yu Longchen was wearing a purple embroidered embroidered brocade robe and his hair was tied up in a golden crown. He looked at the child with his beautiful eyes and turned to ask Mu Ruqing.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Lingyue and Changxu bowed. The children were stunned with their jaws wide open, unable to close them for a long time.
The oldest child pulled his sister and bowed like Lingyue, but his hands did not even move over there. He directly knelt down and imitated Lingyue, "Paying respects to His Royal Highness."
"Quickly get up." Mu Ruqing saw the child's awkward appearance and a smile hung on her face. She waved at the children and turned to walk to Yu Longchen's side. "I want them to be servant girl in the mansion. They are the children that Uncle Xiong adopted. If Uncle Xiong left, they would have nowhere to go. Is the king willing to let me go? "
Looking at Mu Ruqing's mischievous look, Yu Longchen really wanted to kiss her. He clearly knew that whatever she did, he would give her permission, but he still asked. He held her hand and walked back. He did not forget to tell Changxu, "Let them live together. The rest is up to you."
"Yes." Changxu bowed and pulled Lingyue, who wanted to leave with him, back. "Where are you going? Not with me. What should I do? "
Lingyue wanted to refute but when she saw the helpless look on the child's face, she took a step back and said, "Don't be afraid. The Royal Highness and Princess are very good. Let's go. I will bring you to your room and bring you to get your clothes. In the future, you can just call me Big Sister. "
"Call me Big Brother." Changxu followed behind and patted his chest, but his eyes could not leave Lingyue.
"How thick-skinned." Lingyue tilted her head and did not forget to give Changxu a blow.
The few children were amused by the two of them. The nervousness in their hearts eased a little, but they still did not dare to laugh out loud.
Yu Longchen pulled Mu Ruqing into the room and sat on a chair. He pulled Mu Ruqing over and let her sit on his lap.
"Hehe." Mu Ruqing laughed and hugged Yu Longchen's neck. "Is it done?"
"Yes. Royal Father will approve the marriage between Longyun and your brother." Yu Longchen raised his head and looked at Mu Ruqing. He opened his thin lips and touched his own cheek. "Give me a reward."
"What?" Mu Ruqing went up and kissed him. She praised, "Hubby is the best."
"Of course." Yu Longchen was not modest at all. "What about you?"
"I have an idea. I have to go there tonight. Call Yuan Zhen and Yingyu over."
"You forgot someone."
"Who is it?" Wang Yao asked.
"Your husband," said Wang Yao.
Mu Ruqing pinched Yu Longchen's face and smiled brightly.
Such a happy smile shook Bai Ming's eyes. Bai Ming stood on the roof opposite the two of them. Looking at the loving look of the two of them, he felt annoyed.
Yu Longchen looked in the direction of Bai Ming and smiled proudly, but his eyes were filled with endless killing and hatred.
Bai Ming put away his broad sleeve and put the back of his hand behind him. A provocative smile appeared on his face. He turned around and jumped, disappearing from Yu Longchen's sight.
Bai Ming had only been here for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, but the hidden guards of the prince's mansion hadn't noticed him. Yu Longchen narrowed his eyes. It seemed like he had to settle this matter properly.
In the blink of an eye, it was dusk.
Strands of golden light that were left behind by the mountains dyed the clouds that didn't catch up with them in a crimson color. In the distance, it turned into a light purple color.
The carriage of the prince's mansion was moving along the road. Lingyue and Changxu were in the same row as the carriage. Lingyue's gaze moved along the clouds, and Changxu's gaze followed Lingyue's rhythm.
When they arrived at the entrance of Miao Yingyu's small courtyard, their carriage had already been prepared. When they saw the carriage of the Imperial Residence, they turned around and followed behind.
The carriage was bumpy. Mu Ruqing leaned in Yu Longchen's arms and looked at each other with a smile. She did not say anything.
In another carriage. Miao Yingyu crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Yuan Zhen unhappily. Yuan Zhen hid in a corner and pretended not to see anything.
There was no word along the way.
When they arrived at Faang mansion, the butler led the carriage to the mansion.
Xiuxiu carried the child and waited outside. When she saw Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing, she couldn't help but bow.
This was the first time Yuan Zhen and Miao Yingyu had seen this Madam Fang. They greeted her politely. Xiuxiu welcomed them in.
Yuan Zhen was originally walking in the middle, but Miao Yingyu pulled him to the back. Mu Ruqing slightly turned her head to look but did not say anything and continued walking.
"Let Yuan Zhen show you that he is the disciple of Daoist Shunyi." Mu Ruqing lifted her skirt and sat beside Yu Longchen.
"Before the strange thing happened, did Madam do something that she did not usually do?" Yuan Zhen never shirked and started to ask before he even sat down.
Xiuxiu thought for a while and handed the child to the wet nurse. She frowned slightly and said, "No. My work and rest are the same as usual."
"I think we should wait until Xu Shi (19 - 21). At that time, we'll go directly to the place where the shadow appears, and it's either a human or a ghost that catches it." Miao Yingyu's suggestion was approved by a few people.
In the remaining two hours, everyone did not speak. The air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. Xiuxiu opened her mouth a few times but did not say anything. When she saw them, she also thought about her own matters.
Eldest servant girl, who was behind her, took the opportunity when the crowd was not paying attention and quietly retreated from the side door.
After blankly doing it for two hours, Mu Ruqing felt sleepy and her head tilted a little. Yu Longchen wanted to let him lean against himself to sleep.
"Let's go!" Yuan Zhen stood up in a daze, scaring Mu Ruqing so much that she fell asleep.
"Okay." Mu Ruqing rubbed her eyes and stood up as she spoke. She did not manage to stand up and her body tilted to the side, slamming into Yu Longchen's chest.
"It's almost time." Yuan Zhen looked at Yu Longchen. His tone was no longer as sour as before. It was very calm and even had a hint of happiness. Even Yuan Zhen did not notice it. Miao Yingyu could hear it and the corners of her mouth slowly rose.
"I will take everyone there." Xiuxiu took the lead and walked in front. She did not care that eldest servant girl had already disappeared.
The Faang mansion's area was not as big as the Imperial Residence. The decorations inside were mostly trees and flowers. The ground was made of ordinary pebbles, giving off the aura of a quiet and elegant forest.
This was in line with Faang Zijun's character. Although the Fang family was rich, if their financial resources were to threaten the Dayong, they would only be eradicated. Therefore, they had to keep a low profile.
"We're here." Xiuxiu stood in front of the door and gently pushed open the door. The room was lit with candles and they looked inside.
"Where was the shadow when it appeared?" Yuan Zhen stood by the side and stared at the window on the wooden wall.
"That's the place." Xiuxiu placed her hands in front of her stomach and looked a little nervous.
After Yuan Zhen confirmed it, he placed his hands on the window curtains and fumbled around. Miao Yingyu obtained Xiuxiu's permission and entered the room.
Mu Ruqing also walked in. Yu Longchen's hands were naturally vertical as he looked at the plants that were clearly illuminated by the candlelight.
Miao Yingyu walked around the room and touched the flower bird on the screen. She stared at the eye of a cuckoo bird.
The closer she got, the eye of the cuckoo bird turned under the light. Miao Yingyu stretched out her index finger and pressed on it. She printed a finger on the screen and looked to both sides. After confirming that she did not let go, her index finger and thumb slowly closed together.
In that split second, a shiny black bug fell down. It twisted twice on the floor and its slippery body twisted like a snake. Don't look at how small it was, its movement speed was extremely fast.
Miao Yingyu almost missed it and pinched it between her fingers. If it was not for the two shiny black eyes on its head, she would not have been able to distinguish its head and tail.
Mu Ruqing came over and looked at the little bug in her hand. It had a round head and slightly bigger eyes. Why did she feel that it was a little cute?
