Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 179 Help her undress and take off her shoes
Lu Ziqing stood up slowly, asked the servants to bring the leg of lamb, and said somewhat flatteringly: "Your Highness, in addition to the Yun Chun wine that the Emperor and Queen brought to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness also asked Ziqing to bring you a hundred Lamb and marinade. Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was there, Ziqing personally roasted a few legs of lamb for their two Highnesses to enjoy."

These words were said without leakage, which not only made Murong Chen feel in love, but also made Luo Chengxian feel comfortable.

"You're welcome, sister Ziqing. You can just ask your servants to do this kind of thing from now on. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Lu Ziqing smiled brightly at Luo Chengxian: "I am happy to be able to serve your two highnesses."

When she turned her head, she saw that King Chen's face was dark and gloomy, and she felt a little panicked.

He saluted again and said: "Zi Qing will not disturb the two highnesses to reminisce about old times and will leave first."

Murong Chen still didn't look at her, but he just gave her a chance to wink at Luo Chengxian.

Luo Chengxian raised his head and glanced at King Chen. He probably understood what Lu Ziqing meant and nodded silently.

After Lu Ziqing left, Prince Nanzhao wisely did not mention the beauty again, but Murong Chen's mood was not as high as before.

The two casually exchanged some polite words and ended the small banquet hastily.

Murong Chen first returned to his room, and after making sure that no one from Prince Nanzhao was following him, he hurried to the west courtyard where Princess Yingxue lived.

It was already late and the moon was rising above the treetops.

Xiang Yingxue did not go back to the house to rest, but sat on the chair where Xiang Jingming once sat and stared blankly into nothingness.

Even though he knew someone was coming in, he didn't react in any way.

Xiao Jue, on the other hand, saw Murong Chen coming over angrily and quickly reminded her in a low voice: "Princess, Prince Chen is here."

Xiang Yingxue was still stunned and ignored it.

Xiaoju hurriedly knelt down: "See Your Highness! Princess, she..."

Murong Chen didn't even look at Xiaojue, and uttered one word coldly: "Get out!"

"……Yes!"

Xiaoju retreated uneasily.Murong Chen looked at Xiang Yingxue and asked unhappily: "Are you going out today?"

Xiang Yingxue lowered her head and did not answer.

His woman was coveted by another man, and he felt extremely unhappy. He sat down next to her and raised her chin forcefully.

"This king is asking you something!"

Xiang Yingxue's face was suddenly lifted up by his rough hands, and the tears that had secretly shed were particularly obvious in the moonlight.

Murong Chen's heart sank, and the strength in his hands instantly relaxed.

After a moment of silence, he moved his thumb gently, trying to wipe away her tears.

Feeling that one hand was not enough, he also touched it with the other hand, and together they wiped the tears of his little princess.

When Xiang Yingxue's eyes finally came back to reality and started to look at him, he gently asked again: "You went out of the yard today, right?"

Xiang Yingxue did not answer, but whispered: "When will the emperor come to pick me up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tears couldn't stop falling.

Murong Chen didn't want to tell her about this, lest she have too strong a desire to return to Chu country.

But seeing her tearful look, I really couldn't bear it.

While wiping her tears, he said: "There are still about three days to go."

Xiang Yingxue's eyes suddenly became alive, and she reached out to grab his sleeve: "Is it true?"

Murong Chen lowered his head and looked at her hand on his sleeve, sighing that this was the first time in many days that she had taken the initiative to approach him.
