The Story of Dusk

"I would like to." Mo Xuan Fei immediately agreed with Qianru's offer.

Both of them stepped inside the courtyard as Qianru led him toward a pavilion. When they walked through a bridge, the light of the moon reflected on the surface of the artificial river beneath and basked the two figures beautifully.

As the night was still early, it was in appropriate time for a visit. Hence, Qianru didn't think much about this. Moreover, they were not alone, all the servants and guards were surrounding them and they were not in the secluded place.

However, the moment Jinse saw Qianru came with Mo Xuan Fei, her jaw dropped in disbelief. Their Master had strictly told every servants and guards to not let their Mistress associated with people from the palace.

Especially after Qianru encountered with Mo Xuan Fei before, though their Mistress was not aware about this order, but no one would have thought that Qianru would actually invite Mo Xuan Fei herself.

"Have a seat please." Qianru said politely and asked Jinse to prepared drink and some cookies.

Hastily the young servants went to the kitchen area and prepared everything after she warned all the guards to not leave Qianru alone with the prince.

In case some nasty rumor spread out.

Meanwhile, Qianru, who was oblivious with Xiao Jun's order, was still on her own mission to gain more information.

"I want to thank you for returning my bracelet." Qianru caressed the bracelet on her wrist. "It's mean a lot for me." Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"You are most welcome princess." Mo Xuan Fei lowered his eyes. "It must be a precious thing for you. Let me guest, Prince Xiao who had bought it for you?"


Qianru didn't answer him, but smile on her lips was enough to answer his question.

"Apparently, you love the prince so much, even with the mention of his name could make you blush." Mo Xuan Fei remarked casually. "It must be hard when he is not around, especially at time like this."

The way he was speaking as if they were an old friend, Mo Xuan Fei didn't put any pretense and talked whatever crossed his mind, at least that was how Qianru felt when she was talking with him.

Qianru cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment, but she didn't like it when he gave an opinion about Xiao Jun absence.

He was still her husband and she didn't want anyone to point their finger on his mishap.

"He is busy." Qianru kept her answer short.

Sensing Qianru discomfort, Mo Xuan Fei apologized immediately. "My apologize for my insolence."

"You don't need to." She smiled, however it couldn't cover the disappointment in her eyes. "It's true after all…" Her eyes dimmed with her words.

When the atmosphere turned somber, Jinse came, bringing tea and cookies for them. She served all the plate and cup on the table and stood behind Qianru.

"You may go." Qianru shunned her away, failing Jinse's mission to overhear their conversation. Reluctantly, the young female servant walked away from the pavilion.

"I am indeed disappointed, but I know Jun has something urgent to do, or else he wouldn't leave me alone here." Qianru tried to engage their conversation before. "So, why don't you tell me about a place called Frozen River? Isn't that the border between Azura and Zodasian? They said that is a beautiful place with frozen river all year round." Qianru's eyes bright beautifully.

"Yes it is. But, the situation there is not the same recently."

"What happened?"

"There is a conflict between the two Kingdoms."

"Conflict?" Qianru tilted her head, her eyes shone with curiosity.
