Chapter 255 Humble

When Lin Xiuyi came back, her face was a little gloomy.

Going to the palace today was like throwing her self-esteem to the ground and crushing it.

But after thinking about it, the queen treated her like this because she was not liked by Murong Yao.

So in the end, he still had to gain Murong Yao's favor.

"Princess, you just dumped the little princess and came back. I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to Prince Rui later."

The maid next to Lin Xiuyi, Zhiya, was a little worried.

Lin Xiuyi glanced at her.

"Who said I left Leng Ruqing behind and came back? It was obviously her who ran off to who knows where. I waited for a long time and didn't see anyone, so she came back first."

"Yes, the little princess is running around on her own."

Zhiya immediately agreed.

The two walked into the mansion, and Lin Xiuyi asked the housekeeper: "Where is the prince?"

"Back to the princess, the prince has gone out and should be back soon."

"I see."

A trace of thought flashed in Lin Xiuyi's eyes, and she turned and left.

……

When Murong Yao returned home, Qing Juan's handsome face had a slightly gloomy expression.

Murong Heng had a complete monopoly on the Yaowang Valley business. The soldiers he secretly trained heard the news somewhere that Prince Rong's money-making channels had been cut off, and the treatment of the soldiers would be worse in the future. This caused a lot of controversy. Suspicion.

Some of the generals below were brave and even came over to ask what was going on.

Except for Su Sheng's loyal Vietnamese army, the other regiments followed halfway. There were also several generals who were desperadoes and came here for the word "profit".

Today I met the master behind the scenes for the first time, and found out that he was actually a young man who had just turned sixteen. The surprise and disdain in the eyes of some of them were beyond words.

So Murong Yao took a thin sword and killed a leader who was disrespectful to him in public.

The sharp sword blade scratched the opponent's neck, blood splashed onto his jade-white face, and his pupils flashed slightly.

Not scared, but excited.

The pungent smell of blood stimulated his nerves and made his eyes become manic.

At that moment, everyone fell silent.

Murong Yao walked into the mansion and went straight to the main room in the backyard. He asked someone to prepare a wooden bucket. After washing away the faint smell of blood from his body, he put on a moon-white uniform and went to the study.

He was originally as tall as a jade tree, but now wearing this outfit, he looked even more tall and elegant.

When Lin Xiuyi came in with soup, she saw Murong Yao sitting in the room, playing with the chessboard on the table.

The slender fingers pressed on the white jade chess piece, the joints were well-proportioned and very beautiful.

Her heart tightened slightly.

"Your Majesty."

Murong Yao glanced at her slightly, his eyes calm.

Instead, he spoke.

"You and Ruqing went to visit your mother?"

"Yes."

"How is she?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyi felt slightly uncomfortable on her face.

She didn't even see the queen's face, so she didn't know what was going on.

"The queen mother is not seriously ill, she said she needs to rest."

Lin Xiuyi approached him and then put the soup in her hand on the table: "Your Majesty, this is the nourishing soup that I personally prepared for you. It's cold, please drink some to warm yourself up."

As she spoke, she opened the lid and filled a bowl with a spoon.

Just as she was carefully bringing it in front of Murong Yao, she suddenly met his eyes.

Those black pupils looked at her lightly, with a strong sense of scrutiny in their eyes.

Lin Xiuyi's hand trembled subconsciously.

Some of the soup instantly spilled out, and a few drops splashed onto the back of Murong Yao's hand.

He frowned in displeasure.

"My lord, I'm sorry."

Lin Xiuyi put the soup down in a panic, then knelt on the ground, took out her handkerchief and pulled Murong Yao's splashed hand over, and carefully wiped the soup on the back of his hand.

"I am fine."

Murong Yao withdrew his hand, spoke slowly, and then looked thoughtfully at the woman kneeling on the ground, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"But...Lin Xiuyi, what are you doing?"

She was suddenly so attentive to him, so attentive that it was a bit humbling.

Lin Xiuyi's long eyelashes trembled, then she slowly raised her head and looked at him.

She looks very beautiful.

At this moment, he raised his eyes sadly, with a bit of expectation and anxiety in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong... I didn't care enough about Your Majesty before, but now I understand that Your Majesty is like a dragon or a phoenix among men. He is my husband and my support for the rest of my life. I hope that Your Majesty can give me some support." An opportunity to serve you.”

Murong Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, suddenly feeling a little funny.

He stretched out his slender fingers and held Lin Xiuyi's eyes, causing her to raise her head and meet his gaze.

Her eyes flashed, filled with anticipation.

He narrowed his eyes.

This is one of the so-called "Twin Sisters of the Capital", the so-called first noble daughter.

He originally thought that Lin Xiuyi liked Murong Heng wholeheartedly, but now that she was given to him, she might have some unyielding backbone.

He would find it more interesting that way.

Who knew he could be so humble and begging for mercy.

Even this beautiful face was eclipsed a bit.

"Murong Yao!"

There was a sudden call outside the door, and then the study door was opened, and Leng Ruqing suddenly appeared at the door.

She stepped into the door of the study room and saw Murong Yao sitting behind the table, with a hint of joy on her face.

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed something was wrong.

He was not the only one in the study.

Murong Yao sat on the Taishi chair with an upright posture, while Lin Xiuyi knelt in front of him, looking up at him lovingly.

Murong Yao's fingers were slightly hooking her chin.

The posture is extremely ambiguous.

Leng Ruqing felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head, and the look on her face instantly turned cold.

"What are you doing?"

Murong Yao slowly retracted his fingers and looked at the woman at the door.

"Before you enter the study, you should knock on the door."

"Yes, it was my negligence. I didn't knock on the door before coming in, which disturbed your good deeds."

Leng Ruqing's voice was filled with anger, which instantly made Murong Yao frown slightly.

He didn't like her being so presumptuous.

Murong Yao said.

"What do you find me for?"

"fine!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiuyi, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly stood up and showed a faint smile towards her.

"It's unfortunate that Sister Ruqing is here. The prince and I have something to say. If nothing happens, please leave first."

Leng Ruqing was silent for a moment, and then sneered.

"Okay, I'll go."

She turned around slowly and walked outside.

Lin Xiuyi looked at her back, feeling indescribably happy.

However, the next second, Leng Ruqing turned around again.

She walked straight towards Lin Xiuyi.

Lin Xiuyi was frightened by her momentum.

"what are you doing……"

"You deliberately left me alone in the palace and came back early, but I haven't settled it with you yet! Lin Xiuyi, I'm sorry, I'm a person who always retaliates!"

Leng Ruqing snorted, then suddenly grabbed Lin Xiuyi's neck and threw her to the ground.

Then he whipped out the whip beside him.

"If you cheat on me once, I'll give you a whip. That's not too much, right?"

With that said, Leng Ruqing reached out and raised the whip, intending to whip it towards her body.

"what!"

Lin Xiuyi screamed.

But the whip did not fall on her.

Leng Ruqing's wrist was tightly held by a slender and powerful finger.
