“I’m fine. And you?” Asked Liu Rushuang with a smile and a dull voice.
Qing’Er shook her head. “Young Miss, I’m fine too. I’m just a little uncomfortable being all tied up.”
Mo Ye smiled at the sight of Liu Rushuang.
Other assassins looked at Liu Rushuang with a glimmer of hope in their eyes!
In the end, Nangong Ba only let go of Qing’Er under Liu Rushuang’s request.
Liu Rushuang promised not to attack Nangong Ba, and so he untied the gold silk around Liu Rushuang’s hands.
…
The next day at the royal banquet…
Nangong Ba and Lin Yimei arrived at the main hall early. Lin Yimei glared at Liu Rushuang with a vicious look in her eyes, as she sat beside Nangong Ba.
At the same time, Li Xiangling also glared at Liu Rushuang with envy and hatred in her heart.
Liu Rushuang helplessly pursed her lips. It wasn’t like she wanted to sit beside Nangong Ba… Nangong Ba insisted on sitting beside her to take care of her.
Behind her, Qing’Er saw the way Nangong Ba pampered Liu Rushuang but didn’t react until now. What the hell happened between them two?
When Chu Qingchuan of Donghua walked into the main hall, her face couldn’t help but flush when she saw Nangong Ba. In actuality, she wanted to marry that man right now more than anyone else.
Following beside Chu Qingchuan was the prince of Donghua, Chu Yitian. With just one glance, Chu Yitian saw through what was going on in Chu Qingchuan’s mind and grunted coldly. She really had the mindset of a little girl.
Donghua and Beiming’s wealthiest merchant came to congratulate Han Moze’s political marriage with Nanli, and so Ouyang Yaoyi was also in attendance.
Having healed from severe injuries, Ouyang Yaoyi was extremely happy but also quite frightened of Han Moze deep down inside.
Ouyang Yaoyi wore a dark blue dress which tightly wrapped her waist. The dress was embellished with red ribbons all over. If that wasn’t enough! Her small breasts were squeezed so tight that it formed a deep ditch. Han Moze couldn’t help but shudder. About her physical appearance, she tied her hair up high on her right side with a huge white flower attached on the left. She had curved brows, dark flickered eyeliner, a tall nose bridge, scarlet red lips and a skinny oval face. She didn’t look too bad, but anyone who saw her could sense the strong impression left by a protitute.
After Han Moze saw Ouyang Yaoyi was seated in the lower seats, his mouth twitched, just as the others did.
With a cold and sullen look on his face, Han Moze walked up to the hall’s seat of honour.
“Greetings your majesty. Long live the Emperor,” exclaimed all the imperial chancellors.
“Rise,” said Han Moze with an emotionless look on his face.
Thereafter, the prince of Donghua cried, “Greetings Emperor of Beiming from the Prince of Donghua.”
Chu Qingchuan, the Fifth Princess of Donghua abruptly withdrew the look of astonishment on her face and elegantly cried, “Greetings Emperor of Beiming from the Fifth Princess of Donghua.” She never imagined that the Emperor of Beiming would be so handsome. Her father only sent her there for a political marriage and hoped to ask the Emperor of Beiming for the Black Fire Pearl. According to what she heard, whoever wears it would be impervious to the cold, and it’s also good for longevity. Her father said that if Beiming’s Emperor wasn’t willing to give it to her, then she had to get it even if it meant stealing it from him.
However, she now had her own plan. She wanted to marry the Emperor of Beiming and make him willingly hand her the Black Fire Pearl.
Han Moze looked over at Prince Chu Yitian and Princess Chu Qingchuan, and noticed they looked rather alike. The prince wore navy blue garments with gold lining and his hair was tied up in a navy blue crown with two bands. His eyebrows were tall and sharp; he had acute eyebrows, a tall nose brige, and his lips slightly slanted to the left. He gave off a reckless and audacious feeling about him but on the whole, he looked very handsome. When the prince looked at Han Moze, he wasn’t all too stunned.
