Chapter 21: An Unquiet Night

"The matter of the selection of the divine tree, this king has his own way to deal with it. All you have to do is get your daughter and sister ready. There must be one of the two candidates! If you don't even make it, the time will ...... Hmph, you know what to expect!"

After the second prince Ji Yuan finished speaking, his cold eyes swept over the three adults, it sounded like a threat, but in fact, it was a cold snort of a threat, and even General Fei, who was rolling in the pile of dead people, couldn't help but shudder. The other two adults, who would only play tricks in the court, knelt down directly in fright, and promised that they would never make a mistake.

General Feiqi, who was still standing on one side, saw that both of them knelt down. He was now in regular clothes and not wearing armor, so he had to kneel down with his fists clenched, bowing his head and not daring to say more.

Ji Yuan looked down at the three adults who fell to their knees in fear of his might. A sense of satisfaction welled up in my heart. He enjoyed the feeling of being in control of everyone and being on top of it. So, he aspires to reach the extreme, to reach the highest point in this world. There is no one below, only ten thousand people!

"Haha, good, get up. Go back and prepare, for the king looks forward to seeing what you do. Ji Yuan, who was in a good mood, couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand with a smile to signal them to get up.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Ming. Seeing that Ji Yuan was happy, the three adults breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him again, "Your Highness, Weichen retires." ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go. Ji Yuan was too lazy to say, waved his hand directly at them, and got up and left the small hall first. The three adults hurriedly followed, and it was not until they came to the place where the sedan car was stopped and dismounted that they glanced at each other, sighed slightly, and left separately.

After the three adults left, Ji Yuan returned to his own main hall, avoided the princess, and sat alone in the study drinking tea. said that he was drinking tea, but in fact, he secretly summoned his shadow guard Wei Wei.

"How's she preparing?" asked Ji Yuan, who didn't look at the fragrant tea carefully concocted by the princess, and played with the dagger in his hand.

"Back to His Royal Highness, I have entered the Prince's Mansion, but the situation is not very good. Seeing that she doesn't know any martial arts at all, maybe the odds won't be too great this time. Wei Wei said worriedly.

"Those martial arts skills in the past didn't survive for three days. If she survives, we will make a profit and not lose money, but if she can't get through, we will not deal with it. However, since she dares to make this bet with me, then you keep an eye on her, and don't let that Murong Shuo find out about you!" As soon as Ji Yuan mentioned Murong Shuo's name, the dagger in his hand couldn't help but throw it out and plunge deep into the pillar.

"Yes, my subordinates obey. Wei Wei bowed his head and said. This Murong Shuo has ruined so many plans for the prince, but his martial arts are unfathomable, and he can't get rid of him to clear the obstacles for the prince, he is really incompetent.

The second prince has already set a trap for the prince, and the prince must also prepare for the battle. Although the crown prince came to Murong Shuo to discuss with him about choosing the crown princess, he was even more worried that Murong Shuo would be unhappy about the morning's affairs.

How much Murong Shuo likes Qiao Zhihan, he knows better than anyone else. Murong Shuo, as a member of the Murong family, didn't know that if he chose to help himself, he would be kicked out of the house, and unless a new successor to the national teacher appeared, he could only be excluded from the family and completely disassociated from the Murong family. Although the ornaments on his clothes are a kind of blinding, they are also the punishment of the national teacher.

And the reason why Murong Shuo decided to help him in the first place was just a request from Qiao Zhihan. Of course, these were what Murong Shuo told him later. However, when Murong Shuo told him this, he also told him, and later helped him because he was impressed by his character and persistence, and thought that he was the only candidate suitable for the emperor.

Murong Shuo didn't mind what he wanted to help himself. Whether Murong Shuo helped him because of Qiao Zhihan's request, or he helped him purely for the sake of helping him, he was very grateful for his help. Providing shelter and maximum trust was the only thing he could give him. And Qiao Zhihan, he will never move.

Originally, because of Zhihan's matter, the prince was always worried that he would hurt Murong Shuo. Now that he has brought back a Luo Xiaogong, he boldly swore to the Divine Tree that he would marry him. But Zhihan reacted again after hearing it today. It seems that no matter how careful you are, you still hurt him unintentionally.

When Murong Shuo came back at night, the crown prince also knew. However, Murong Shuo deliberately avoided him and just found Wang Wu to leave. Although the prince didn't want to think about it, he also knew that he didn't want to talk about anything else today. Therefore, he didn't look for him again, but after Wang Wu came back, he heard Wang Wu report what Murong Shuo had asked him to do, so he stopped.

However, Murong Shuo, who had already returned to his Qingfeng Courtyard, didn't know what he had in mind, and regardless of the deeper exposure, he stepped on the moon that had just appeared, and flew towards the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.

After Wang Wu rescued Xiao Gong, he just sent her into the mansion and left after handing over the mountain spring water to her. When it was approaching, everyone had already fallen asleep, and the people who kept vigil in the house were also asleep, and Xiao Gong had to knock on the door several times in a row, and he could not return to the room with countless blank eyes.

At this time, let alone eating, it is impossible to even find a pot of hot water to scald your feet. After doing the math, Xiao Gong realized that he hadn't eaten anything all day. If she hadn't been able to drink some water on top of it when she was carrying water, maybe she would have been tired and fainted by now.

The pain felt like the bones were going to fall apart, and the tired and hungry little gong just wanted to go back to the room and lie down, so he fell asleep, even if he couldn't wake up tomorrow. But she knew she couldn't. In order to persevere, she had to hold on for a while longer and go out to boil water and cook something to eat.

Xiao Gong, who had been tired all day, handed over the eight buckets of water, and wanted to ask them where they had food or a place to rest for a while. But those who handed over the water just counted the water and took it away with the water car, and no one bothered to take the gong at all. Xiao Gong was helpless, and he couldn't talk to them like he did to Murong Shuo, so he had to leave dejectedly.

Fortunately, when Murong Shuo talked to her yesterday, she noticed that there was food in the room they were in. It wasn't very special, it was like a room where food was often served throughout the house. Therefore, Xiao Gong's goal is to find that room, mainly to eat something, and if he can, to rest in that room for a night, rather than to knock on the door to see the looks.

However, just as she was about to leave to look for it, she saw the person receiving the mountain spring water pulling a cart of water and walking outside the house. This is the water that she took half her life to pull back, if she sees them just dispose of it casually, how can she be willing!
