Chapter 133: Criminal? Are You Referring To Me? (4)
“You’re too troublesome!” Leng Ruoxue said while looking at the sky.
Another flying spirit beast descended…
“Big Brother Qing, wait for me!” Shui Xinran immediately stuck to Huo Qing’s side as soon as she got off the spirit beast.
“Why did you follow me?” Huo Qing said with some displeasure.
“I…” Shui Xinran looked at Huo Qing aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue said to everyone. She really wasn’t interested in such a drama.
Everyone soon left the Lunar Capital.
“Your Highness, please return!” Leng Ruoxue said very courteously to Huangfu Lian at the city gate, and then she let Quill out.
“Okay, then I’m going back.” Huangfu Lian held in his amazement as he looked at the enormous flying spirit beast.
Seeing that everyone was already sitting on Quill’s back, Leng Ruoxue sat on him as well. “Quill, let’s go!”
“Yes, Master.” Quill slowly flew up and disappeared into the sky with a strong gust of wind.
Huangfu Lian stood foolishly outside the city gate for a while until he could no longer see the shadow of the spirit beast. Then he turned around and walked back.
“Crown Prince, where are the people from the Heavenly Phoenix Academy?” Huo Qing stopped Huangfu Lian at the city gate.
“Already gone.”
“How long ago?”
“There’s no need to chase. You can’t catch up,” Huangfu Lian said kindly. But before he could finish speaking, he saw Huo Qing release his spirit beast and fly away.
…
In the imperial study of the imperial palace of the Southern Dusk Empire…
“Your Majesty, I just wanted to avenge Yu’er.” Noble Consort Xu knelt in front of the emperor’s desk, weeping uncontrollably. Her appearance was truly endearing.
“I told you that we have to consider this matter at length. Have you forgotten?” Huangfu Zhen said furiously.
“But they’re leaving today. I was anxious, so… Please don’t take issue with me on the account that I love our daughter so much, Your Majesty.” Noble Consort Xu pleaded. But in her heart, she was cursing the emperor to death.?Hmph! What a useless man. He doesn’t even dare to provoke Leng Ruoxue and has concerns about this and that. I hate him so much!
“You want to stop them from leaving? Do you want to offend the Heavenly Phoenix Academy and the Artificer Association?” Huangfu Zhen roared. The Artificer Association had already informed all the top factions that Leng Ruoxue was an important guest of their Artificer Association.
“I know my mistake.”
“Confine Noble Consort Xu to the Soaring Phoenix Hall. No one is allowed to see her without my consent,” Huangfu Zhen ordered the eunuch beside him.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
After the eunuch brought Noble Consort Xu away, the emperor was the only one left in the imperial study.
“Empress, you can come out now.”
“Your Majesty, are we just going to let this matter rest?” the empress asked in puzzlement as she emerged from the secret room.
“What else can we do? The Xu family is ambitious, and now is not the time to do anything to her.” Huangfu Zhen shook his head, looking helpless.
“Empress, do you think Leng Ruoxue will…” Huangfu Zhen was worried.
“Probably not. I’ve already sent Lian’er. Hopefully, nothing big happens.” The empress was also very worried.
“Hehe, Empress, there won’t be any big trouble. That girl Leng Ruoxue will never suffer a loss. I’m just worried that she might think that it was my idea.” Huangfu Zhen was a little uncertain. That girl was too smart.
“Your Majesty, I’ve said it before. We can only be on good terms with Leng Ruoxue. The people of the Leng family don’t like to be used by others, so if we want to cooperate with her, we have to show our sincerity,” the empress said with certainty.
“You’re right, Empress.”
“Your Majesties the Emperor and Empress, His Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the palace,” a eunuch reported.
“Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, I’m back.” Huangfu Lian walked into the imperial study and bowed.
“Lian’er, there wasn’t any big trouble, right?” the empress hurriedly asked, her expression exceptionally nervous.
“I guess not!” Huangfu Lian didn’t know how to explain it to his parents. He couldn’t say that Leng Ruoxue was already a little unhappy!
“But Imperial Father, the young master of the Huo family, Huo Qing, plans to study at the Heavenly Phoenix Academy,” Huangfu Lian said after some thought.
“Huo Qing wants to go to the Heavenly Phoenix Academy?” Huangfu Zhen was in disbelief. The relationship between the Huo family and the Rising Dragon Academy was extraordinary, yet Huo Qing wanted to study at the Heavenly Phoenix Academy. Would the Huo family and the Rising Dragon Academy agree?
“Yes. Moreover, Huo Qing has already chased after the people from the Heavenly Phoenix Academy,” Huangfu Lian added.
“Empress, what do you think?” Huangfu Zhen turned to the empress beside him.
“Your Majesty, in my opinion, Huo Qing is most likely targeting Leng Ruoxue,” the empress said cautiously with a slight frown. She had heard that the Huo family proposed marriage to Leng Ruoxue, but she rejected them.?Could it be true??Thinking of this, she was a little hesitant.
“Your Majesty, should we let our son study at the Heavenly Phoenix Academy as well?” the empress suggested.
“Erm…” Huangfu Zhen hesitated. If Lian’er went to the Heavenly Phoenix Academy, the Lunar Shadow Academy would definitely be displeased, and he didn’t want to fall out with the academy yet.
“Your Majesty, with the Huo family around, we can’t count on the Lunar Shadow Academy at all. Instead, we might as well put all our efforts on Leng Ruoxue!” the empress said understandingly. She knew the concerns in the emperor’s heart, but she believed that Leng Ruoxue was their best choice.
“Alright, let’s do as you say, Empress!” Huangfu Zhen trusted the empress very much. He knew that only the empress cared for him wholeheartedly in this world.
“Lian’er, prepare to go to the Heavenly Phoenix Academy as well!” Huangfu Zhen showed the demeanor of an emperor and was full of boldness. There was no need to hesitate since he had already decided.
“Yes, Imperial Father.”
…
At an altitude of ten thousand meters in the sky, Leng Ruoxue and the others had been flying for nearly two days.
“Xue’er, are you tired?” Freak took the initiative to pull Xue’er into his arms and let her lie against him while taking some advantage of her.
“I’m not tired. It’s Quill that’s tired.” Leng Ruoxue’s beautiful face was full of heartache and concern. Quill had been flying for two days and refused to rest. Fortunately, they were almost at Phoenix City.
