Xia Qingtian tried to twist herself, but she was wrapped up by the carpet into a cylindrical shape, and after moving for a long time, she still did not make a sound. The sound of her breathing was blocked by the thick carpet.
She felt several maids carrying her, and her heart sank to the bottom of the ravine. This was her last chance!
Yu Long looked at the carpet that was being carried away. As if he could see the carpet slightly trembling, a flash of astonishment ran through his eyes. Why would the carpet be moved?
"Count, His Majesty invites you in." the maid said.
Yu Long immediately retracted his gaze and followed the maid in. The most important thing was to save Xia Qingtian, he wasn't in the mood to think about the carpet.
"How's the project coming along?" Anthony asked loudly when he saw Yu Long.
"I have come for my wife! Give Xia Qingtian to me! " Yu Long said.
"She allowed her daughter to contradict my sister. According to our country's system, she is sentenced to death!" Anthony said.
"Her daughter is also my daughter. Since you've condoned your own child, your parents will have to take responsibility. I also have responsibilities. If you want to kill her, come at me!" Yu Long said.
"Count, please don't be angry. We are relatives who are going to get married, there is no need to be angry over a woman. You can pick any woman from my harem!" Anthony said.
"Can your woman be compared with Xia Qingtian? I only want Xia Qingtian! " Yu Long said.
Anthony's face darkened, "I wonder where you have placed my sister? Don't forget, this marriage was promised by Lady Windsor. "
"I did not agree to this marriage! I'll say it again, I only want Xia Qingtian! If you don't give it to me, I'll bring my men to rob the dungeon. " Yu Long immediately put down his harsh words.
Anthony clenched his hands into fists, as if not killing Xia Qingtian just now was the best choice to make.
"None of those who went into the dungeon survived. If you want to rob the dungeon, you can try. Can your people enter my dungeon? After all these years in my dungeon, no one can come out alive. I promise you, I will kill her faster than you charge into the dungeon! " Anthony said.
Yu Long lowered the center of his brows, "What do you want to do before you release Xia Qingtian?"
"Very simple, marry my sister properly, and our two families will get married together. Xia Qingtian can only be considered to be one of your women, you and my sister are officially engaged, I will let her go. " Anthony said.
Yu Long's lips were compressed into a straight line, as if he had no other choice. He could stop at engineering, stop trying to tear off Anthony's face, but he did not dare to bet his life on Xia Qingtian. With just one word from Anthony, Xia Qingtian would immediately die!
"Sure! "I agree." He was forced to speak.
"Fine, I'll get the maid to invite your mother over. The two of us will officially settle the engagement." Anthony said.
He ordered the maid to inform Lady Windsor that they were all to be formally engaged and write their engagement papers.
For Xia Qingtian's sake, he could only let Anthony make arrangements.
Xia Qingtian was carried by someone for a long time before finally being brought into a room.
She was placed on the ground. The heat that she did not feel earlier slowly spread out from her body.
Coupled with the alcohol, she felt dizzy for a while.
Is this the man's home? Who was he?
She listened to the maid.
"This is a gift from His Majesty," he said. The maid turned and left the room.
Xia Qingtian could hear the sound of the door closing. It seemed that the room was very big, and the sound of the door closing was rather empty.
Her mat was suddenly moved by someone. As the blanket was pulled away, Xia Qingtian rolled out from the blanket.
She rolled on the ground a few times before stopping. The rope was too tight for her to move, and she turned to look at the ugliest man, a wheelchair that had crashed into the base of her eyes, and the man in the wheelchair.
She inhaled a breath of cold air. It was Mo Chen, Yu Long's competitor, Anthony had no choice but to be vicious and gift her to Yu Long's competitor. Yu Long hated her so much that he chased her out of the house.
Mo Chen was startled, although he knew that there was something fishy about the carpet, he didn't think that it would be Xia Qingtian!
"Why are you in the carpet?" he asked in a low voice.
Beneath the mask, his eyes were filled with an unfathomable emotion.
Xia Qingtian's face turned awkward, "I, I was captured by Anthony, he wanted me to follow him, but I did not agree, so …"
She told him the general story.
"Anthony wants you?" Mo Chen pressed the key on the wheelchair, walked towards Xia Qingtian, and leaned over to untie the rope on her body.
"Can you let me go? I will return to Yu Long's side, he will definitely repay you. " Xia Qingtian immediately said.
Mo Chen's eyes darkened, "You are a gift from Anthony. If I had personally dealt with his present, he would be extremely unhappy. Anthony divided the construction of the palace into many small contracts. Each hall and each garden can be considered as a project, do you know why he would do such a thing?
He wanted Yu Long and I to compete for these small items and bargain. If any of us displease him, she can sign the whole project to one person at any time. "
"I know, Anthony is very sinister. Or I'll stay until tomorrow and go with the maid. " Xia Qingtian whispered.
"You have no choice but to wait for tomorrow. Yu Long is discussing the engagement between him and Princess Qian Yu with Anthony. " Mo Chen said coldly.
Xia Qingtian's rope was loosened, and she crawled up from the ground. There was an indescribable feeling that came from being caught, but Yu Long was busy getting engaged to Qian Yu.
She pulled at the corner of her mouth, unable to find what she wanted to say.
"Tomorrow, Qian Yu will be Yu Long's fiancee. Are you sure you still want to return to Yu Long's side?" Mo Chen asked.
"Yes." I want to return to Yu Long's side. " Xia Qingtian said. Even if she wanted to leave Yu Long's side, she had to first return to Yu Long's side before leaving. Otherwise, without the name Yu Long to protect her, she wouldn't even know if she would be able to leave Mo Chen's place tomorrow.
Mo Chen's hand held onto the armrest of the wheelchair without leaving a trace, as though he would shatter the armrest if he used even a little more strength.
Xia Qingtian's hands were in his hair and his body was covered in layers of sweat. It was so hot that she felt uncomfortable and it was difficult for her to take off his clothes.
She grabbed at her hair to clear her head. The thirst to be kissed made her want to pounce on the man in front of her.
The woman's coarse breathing interrupted Mo Chen's train of thoughts. He looked at Xia Qingtian and noticed the large watermark on her white robe.
"What's wrong with you? It's very uncomfortable? "
"Anthony gave me a type of wine called Obedient Wine. I'm so hot, can I borrow your bathroom to bathe?" Xia Qingtian grabbed onto the collar of his own clothes, controlling his loose rationality to not tear his own clothes.
