Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 364 Waiting for her like this is a bit too deliberate
Murong Chen returned to the main courtyard with a smile on his face and expectantly.

He asked people to put the special snacks brought from the capital of Yan State on the table one by one, and also filled two cups of fruit wine.

He straightened his hair in front of the bronze mirror and then sat down at the table.

He tapped his index finger knuckles on the table aimlessly and waited quietly.

For a moment, he felt that he was being too deliberate in waiting for her.

Just like a cheerful puppy ready with delicious bones, wagging its tail and waiting eagerly for its owner.

He moved some of the plates around so they looked less organized.

He poured the fruit wine back into the jug and waited for her to refill it when she came.

Outside, footsteps gradually sounded.

Murong Chen seemed to smell the fragrance on Princess Yingxue's neck, and his heart beat uncontrollably.

No matter how he posed, it didn't feel natural enough, condescending enough, or bossy enough.

When the footsteps reached the door of the room, he hurriedly opened the two buttons on his clothes, pulled his chest, and put his hands on his head.

He looked nonchalant, comfortable and lazy.

"Your Highness!"

The guard was in a hurry and opened the door in advance before he had time to report.

"Princess Chu is no longer in the palace!"

"Not in the mansion?"

Murong Chen became anxious, strode over and grabbed his collar.

"What do you mean? Where is she now?"

"She...she..."

Before the guards reached the garden, they saw several soldiers who had been staying at the general's mansion, standing next to a big willow tree, discussing the disappearance of the Chu princess. Now that King Chen is back, he doesn't know how to explain the matter.

Although there was no evidence, several people speculated that His Highness had released her privately.

Because on the day Feishi was imprisoned, Murong Guang led two petite, suspicious men out of the general's mansion and headed straight for Mucheng in Chu State.

Then the princess disappeared.

Therefore, everyone thought that the two thin men were the princess of Chu and her little maid.

Of course, King Chen is traveling far away, Feishi is not here, and the generals are camped in the suburbs.

No matter how suspicious they were, the defenseless soldiers did not dare to act rashly.

It's just that the guards who came to report were not only exhausted physically and mentally, but also had to bear the wrath of King Chen for no reason. "I sent her back to Chu State!"

Murong Guang's voice sounded outside the door.

Murong Chen shook off the guard's collar, gritted his teeth and walked towards Murong Guang.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

"Second brother."

Murong Guang's expression was full of intolerance.

"Xue'er was sent back to Chu State by me."

boom!
Murong Chen kicked him several meters away.

"I left her with you because I trust you. I believe that my good brother will never betray me! But what did you do!"

"Second brother, I know."

Murong Guang covered his chest with his hands and gasped for air, but he showed no intention of resisting.

"But Xue'er..."

"Come on!"

Murong Chen interrupted him angrily.

"Murong Guang released the prisoners of war privately, put them in prison, and dealt with them according to military law!"

Several government soldiers came over in a hurry, and while helping Murong Guang up, they whispered: "Your Highness, I'm offended."

Murong Guang stood up unsteadily with the help of Fu Bing's arms.

Seeing Murong Chen rushing out, he propped himself up and shouted with all his strength: "Second brother, what are you doing!"

Murong Chen didn't even look back: "I'm going to catch her!"

"Second brother!"

Murong Chen shook off the guard and staggered a few steps toward him.

"You can't do this! She is a human being, she has parents and brothers, and she wants to go home! You can't treat her like a rabbit you caught, tease her when she likes it, and beat her when she's angry!"

"Hit her?"

Murong Chen stopped and turned around slowly, his eyes becoming colder and more solemn.

"When did I hit her?"
