Chapter 4

  Murong Lie seemed to have come back to his senses only at this moment, but he still couldn't believe what he had just heard. He stared at the Emperor in shock, "Your Majesty's meaning is...?!" His voice contained a few parts of discontent and also hid a few parts of suspicion. Just a few days ago when he mentioned this matter to the Empress Dowager, it had enraged the Emperor, so why now?!

  "What's wrong? The prime minister seems to be in a bit of trouble, then I'll...". The emperor said intentionally, while his cold lips slightly curled up, revealing a hint of subtle smile. He knew what Mu Rong Lie was thinking, but deliberately ignored the hidden danger at this moment, only because that smile seemed to have imprinted on his heart. Although it was too dark last night and he couldn't see clearly, he subconsciously felt that such a woman wouldn't be someone who attacks with clever schemes.

  "Your humble servant dare not," Murong Lie hastily replied, as if he feared that the Emperor would change his mind, and also seemed to have finally confirmed that the Emperor was not joking with him. "It is my daughter's honor to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty. I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

  Just thinking about last night, her eyes unconsciously sank, and that face was as beautiful as her mother's back then, so breathtakingly beautiful that any man in the world might not be able to resist such beauty.

  It's been so many years since that incident, he never set foot in that courtyard again. He didn't expect the little girl from back then to grow up so big, and her unbelievable beauty left him speechless at the time.

  After a moment of astonishment, his eyes quickly flashed with delight. He was well aware that such beauty could be a fatal temptation for a man, and he also knew that such beauty in his hands would be a valuable bargaining chip.

  So he deliberately took her into the main house and was preparing to publicly reveal her identity.

  But he never expected that something like this would happen last night. When he saw the wound between her collarbones, he had already guessed who the person was. His cold eyes scanned to the left towards a man with a cold face standing beside him, and his eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness. Only he knew that he had been poisoned by him, and needed the blood of a virgin to cure his poison, as well as the union of male and female to cure his emotional poison. He never thought that this time...

  In response to the gaze cast by Mu Lie, Xuan Yuan's enigmatic smile continued to spread, as he faintly smiled and said, "Congratulations, Chancellor." However, a glint of cold light flashed across his eyes, for he wanted to see how that old fox would send Murong Lingxue into the palace.

  Murong Lie was slightly stunned, but immediately smiled profusely and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." However, in his heart, he secretly wondered. His congratulations were clearly insincere, yet they still managed to make Murong Lie feel taken aback. Xuan Yuan Zhi and he had always been like fire and water, unable to coexist peacefully, and every time they met, they couldn't help but want to tear each other apart.

  Seeing the faintly discernible cold smile at the corner of his lips, Mu Rong Lie was suddenly enlightened. He must have known that the person who came to the Mu Rong house yesterday was actually Snowy, so...

  At this point, his eyes also flashed a hint of cold smile. Fortunately, when he mentioned this matter to the empress dowager earlier, he didn't specify who it was. What's more fortunate is that the imperial edict issued by the emperor clearly stated "Xue Er", so he doesn't have anything to worry about.

  This time I'm afraid Xuan Yuan Zhi will be disappointed.

  Although I didn't have much hope for Xue Er, now that the Emperor has brought it up himself, it's quite unexpected and delightful.

  The emperor on the throne was also slightly taken aback, he had thought that Xuan Yuan Chen would strongly object, but instead he seemed to be pleased with it, which was somewhat strange.

  But since this matter has already been decided by him, naturally no one can object, and he also wants to know what Murong Lie is going to play.
