Chapter 13 - Accompanying the Prince to the Palace

Just as Xiao Yue was worrying about how she was going to wake Liu Ruo Qing up, Yan Yuan's cold voice, which did not carry any warmth, came from the door. Her eyes carried an unfeeling coldness, and she threw her gaze at the woman who was still sleeping soundly.

Xiao Yue was startled, she then turned to look at Yan Yuan, who had already stepped into the door. Seeing that Xiao Yue was not doing anything, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and her voice became even colder.

"What is it? For such a small matter, do I need This King to do it personally? "

"This servant doesn't dare, it's just that …" Only, Prince, My Princess, she … "

Xiao Yue frowned, feeling troubled, as she carefully looked at Yan Yuan. Seeing the crease between his eyebrows, her handsome face was filled with impatience.

"This servant dares not."

Although she was Liu Ruo Qing's maid, facing Yan Yuan, Xiao Yue did not dare to disobey his orders at all. He immediately turned around and brought a bucket of water from his washstand.

"I'm sorry, Princess."

She closed her eyes and a bucket of cold water shot out towards Liu Ruo Qing's body.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Immediately after, was Liu Ruo Qing's ear-piercing scream. In the next second, she had already sat up from the bed, covered in sweat.

Seeing Xiao Yue holding onto a water basin, standing in front of her with an apologetic look on her face, she bit her lower lip, not daring to speak.

Her face darkened. Not caring about the wet hair that was still dripping down her face, she said loudly, "Xiao Yue, you …"

"Yan Yuan, was it you who asked Xiao Yue to splash water?"

pursed his lips, but did not explain himself. Looking at Liu Ruo Qing who was gritting his teeth, she did not intend to deny it, and her manner of speaking seemed to be too casual.

"Looks like I'm really awake."

Even though he didn't directly admit it, his words were no different from admitting it.

Yan Yuan, at least you have the guts. You better pray that I don't have the chance to go back to the modern world, otherwise, I'll be the first one to go back to your ancestor's grave and dig yours out.

Liu Ruo Qing gritted her teeth as she waited for Yan Yuan to finish. The hair on her forehead was still dripping with water.

As if he had found the thrill of revenge, the corner of Yan Yuan's mouth curved up without a sound.

Xiao Yue saw that Liu Ruo Qing's staring eyes could give birth to a few blades, she immediately stepped forward and comforted her: "Princess, I will get a dry towel for you to wipe. It's getting late, you should follow Prince into the palace."

As he said till here, Xiao Yue carefully looked at Yan Yuan and prayed in his heart that this little ancestor of the Princess would definitely not fight with him on his way to the Imperial Palace.

Although it was a hot day, this kind of cold water that suddenly poured in caused Liu Ruo Qing to wake up from the cold. Naturally, all of her sleepiness was washed away as well.

After glaring at Yan Yuan, he walked down the bed unwillingly. Without caring that Yan Yuan was still in his room, he walked behind the screen, and with Xiao Yue's help, he changed into a new set of clothes.

After everything was settled, she turned her gaze towards Yan Yuan who had not left the room.

Her small mouth twitched in disdain as she arrogantly raised her chin towards Yan Yuan, "Let's go."

In the courtyard of the prince's mansion, the butler was leading two men in from outside. His attitude appeared to be somewhat subservient.

"Prince, Crown Prince, this way please."
