The distance between the Jing King Manor and the palace wasn't far. Soon, the two arrived at the palace gate. Because the imperial palace forbade palanquins to enter, Shui Long and Night Emperor Shang could only disembark from the palanquins and walk.
Arriving at the entrance of the palace, the guards all saw Night Emperor Shang and knelt down, "Your Highness."
"Yes, open the door. This King has matters to attend to and will enter the palace."
"This... This humble one has the gall to ask, who is the young lady by the prince's side? "
"It's This King's doctor. Recently, This King's head has been hurting greatly. This doctor's medical skills are extraordinary, and This King likes him a lot." Therefore, This King will have to keep you by my side at all times in case of need. "
In this world, there was a type of person who could tell lies as if they were true. And Night Emperor Shang, was precisely this kind of person. Water gazed at the Night Emperor Shang, and could not help but inwardly click his tongue. If she were a guard, she would have thought that Nightmare was a migraine. You don't even need to blink to lie!
"So that's how it is. Open the door!" As expected, the guards also believed him.
Easily entering through the door, Night Emperor Shang brought water with him and made his way to the Empress' palace.
"Aren't we supposed to go to the main hall?" Water asked, looking at the palace that was getting farther and farther away from them.
"How could royal father settle the family matters in the main hall? They should be in the empress's quarters right now. " Emperor Ye Shang's words were firm, and it could be seen that he understood the Emperor very well.
Shui Lengchuan looked at Night Emperor Shang and felt inexplicably relieved. This person was very powerful. No matter who was in trouble, he didn't seem to be.
Sure enough, just as Night Emperor Shang had said, once they arrived at the Empress's palace, a eunuch blocked their path.
"Greetings to King Jing."
"Greetings, Eunuch. Why aren't you serving by my father's side? Did you come here?"
"In reply to Your Highness, the emperor is inside." His eunuch's tone was respectful. Towards someone like Night Emperor Shang, he was truly afraid from the bottom of his heart. This prince seemed to be the most harmless one, but whoever dared to provoke him would have no good days ahead of them.
In the past, a young eunuch had accidentally spilled some tea on him. Because he did not apologize, in the following days, there would always be people who would find fault with him, bullying him until his death.
Very few people knew about this, but as the head eunuch, he was very clear about it. As such, he felt reverence towards this prince.
"Is royal father here? That just so happens to be the case, this king has something that I need to ask royal father. "
"This... Your highness may be able to enter, but … " Eunuch looked at the masked Shui Ruo beside Emperor Shang, wanting to speak, but hesitated.
"Ah, you mean her? She is a doctor by This King's side. The moment This King leaves her, his life will be in danger. Be at ease, she is a person who can't speak and can't hear.
"Don't, your highness, don't say that. Come on in. " As the eunuch spoke, he gave Night Emperor Shang leave.
With regards to Emperor Ye Shang's open character wherever he went, Shui Ruo was truly in awe of him.
Before he could even enter the queen's chambers, he heard a furious voice, "Bastard! Bastard! "What a bastard!"
"Seems like royal father is truly angry. I hope that Night Emperor Xiu will still be able to come out alive. " Night Emperor Shang sighed with emotion, and then he leisurely walked forward with the water in his hand.
However, the two of them didn't go in. Instead, they stood outside and listened.
"Why aren't you going in?" Shui Long asked in a low voice.
"Father is currently angry. If we go now, we will be implicated." Night Emperor Shang replied in a low voice, and then made a shushing gesture to Shui Long. When water saw this, he quickly shut his mouth.
Within the empress dowager's chambers.
The emperor looked at the Night Emperor cultivator kneeling on the ground coldly and said angrily, "Speak! "Why did you do such a ridiculous thing?!"
"royal father, please calm your anger. A few days ago, this son was unknowingly chased and was seriously injured. He was saved by the girl from the Shui family. In order to conceal my identity, I have agreed to become the son-in-law of the Shui family. I hope that royal father can calm his anger. "
The Night Emperor was relatively calm. He wasn't afraid because of the Emperor's fury.
Hearing that, the emperor scoffed, "Nonsense!" If that's all, why do you call Shui Clan's man father? It's not like you put us in your eyes! "
"This... It's just a temporary measure. "
"A stopgap measure? "You know how to say …" The emperor was still furious.
"Royal father, in your humble son's opinion, what Third Brother did was indeed reasonable. I hope that you can forgive me." At the side, the originally watching the show suddenly knelt down to plead for mercy on behalf of the Night Emperor.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor glanced at the Night Emperor, before looking at the Night Emperor Xiu. Unsatisfied, he said: "Even if it's a heinous crime, it's still possible to avoid it! Thinking about it in seclusion was necessary! Ol 'Three, I will punish you for making such a foolish mistake. If you dare to leave your house, I will strip you of your position as king. As for the Shui Family … Find a reason and kill him. "
When the emperor's words came out, Shui Yuehan was so excited that he wanted to step forward, but the king of the night held him back.
He quietly left the empress's palace, and after exiting, he said to Shui Ruo at Night Emperor Shang, "Father is truly angry this time."
"Why did you stop me!" Shui Long's eyes turned blood-red as he asked crazily.
"Won't they stop you from dying?" Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and asked helplessly.
Shui Long listened and fell silent.
"I really never thought that royal father would make such a decision. This was completely the opposite of royal father's temperament in the past. The people of the Shui Family are clearly innocent. " Night Emperor Shang was somewhat depressed.
"What should I do?" Shui Ruo asked as he grabbed the sleeve of Night Emperor Shang beside him with a perplexed look on his face.
Hearing this, Emperor Ye Shang's eyes flashed, "Marry me, and I will help you think of a way."
After hearing what the Night Emperor said, Shui Yuehan's body trembled as he suddenly remembered that the Night Emperor had told her to wait.
Seeing that Shui Ruo had begun to hesitate, Night Emperor Shang's gaze turned cold. "Heh! I'm really envious of him. You still don't want to betray him even at a time like this. Is he really that good? " The tone of Emperor Shang's voice was somewhat strange. As he gazed at the tranquil waters, his killing intent was even revealed for a moment.
Shui Lengchuan gazed at Night Emperor Shang and furrowed his brows, "It is not that he is good, but that I made an appointment with him. He helped me when I needed help, so I trusted him when he needed to believe. If you are not willing to help, then I will think of a solution myself. "
With that, Shui Yi walked away.
"Where do you want to go?" Emperor Shang stopped Shui's leisurely path and asked as he looked at the water.
"It has nothing to do with the prince." Shui's attitude was indifferent. As he spoke, he once again circled around Night Emperor Shang and ran away.
With a light leap, he ran in front of her. Afterwards, without waiting for Shui Ruo to speak, he took a step forward and pressed her acupoints, "I will not watch you die. Shui Ruo, you want to save him? Delusion. Right now, you only have one solution, and that is to marry me. There may be nothing else. "
The tone of the Emperor's voice also became cold. With these words, he hefted the water and leisurely walked out.
Shui Ruo, who had never thought that Emperor Shang would be so brutal during the night, could only stare with wide eyes as he allowed Ye Shang to take her away.
What was despair?
Within the Snow Flying Pavilion in the Jing King's manor, Shui Ruo was sitting on the side of the bed gloomily. Looking at the closed window and the locked door, she felt extremely frustrated.
Since she was already here, she wouldn't be able to say such words. After all, the people of the Shui family were still in the Celestial Prison. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive. Her father was already very old, and it would be difficult for him to continue living like this. Moreover, what was even worse was that they only captured members of the Shui Family, no one from the branch family moved. Now that the Shui Family was ownerless, it was unknown what kind of mess it would turn into.
But now, she was locked in here, unable to leave.
Did he really have to agree to the Night Emperor's promise? If she promised him, the Shui family would definitely be safe. Thinking of this, the carefree heart of Shui Yuehan relaxed for a moment.
At this moment, the sound of the door being locked suddenly sounded out from outside.
"Who's outside?" Shui Long's gaze turned cold as he asked.
The person outside did not answer him. Instead, the commotion continued all the way until the door was opened and someone walked in.
The person who came was dressed in black and his face was covered, making it difficult to see him clearly.
"Who are you?" Shui Ruo asked, looking at him warily.
When the person heard this, he knelt down on one knee, "My lady, I am here on behalf of my master to invite you to our residence for a chat."
"Master? Who is your master? " Shui Long frowned and asked.
"My master is the most respected member of the royal family."
"Crown Prince?"
"The girl is clever."
"Why would the crown prince come to save me?" The water flowed slowly, not understanding.
"Our prince appreciates this lady very much. As long as this lady is willing to visit the mansion, His Highness has said that he will help this lady settle the matters of the Shui family."
Is this an exchange? Shui Long listened to what the man said and his heart sank. Then, he nodded his head and said: "Alright, I understand."
"Miss, please." As the man in black said this, he let Shui Ruo leave first, cutting off the rear.
In reality, Night Emperor Shang did not leave many people behind to guard the water, as if he was waiting for her escape. After escaping from Night Emperor Shang's residence, Shui Yuehan's thoughts became increasingly dense. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu …"
Under the lead of the man in black, Shui Ruo made his way to the back door of the crown prince's residence.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness said you don't want others to know that you are here. Otherwise it would be harmful to the girl. "
The tone of this person was respectful. When Shui Long heard this, he looked at him and knew in his heart that what he said was the truth. Not to mention anything else, even when she had just gone to the palace, before she could do anything, a woman had already come to cause trouble, not to mention the crown prince's residence. However, the thoughts of those women were understandable. When a person truly fell in love with the man next to them, they would become extremely terrifying. They would even be willing to do anything, even selling their own souls.
Entering the Crown Prince's Palace, Shui Ruo sized up the surrounding simple yet beautiful layout, which was hard to detect and mixed within. Shui Ruo could not help but sigh. It was not easy to be a crown prince. He could not let others see that he was wasting his time, and he had to rack his brains just to make himself comfortable. It was really hard for him not to be exhausted to death first.
Shui Ruo couldn't help but think back to the time when he appeared in his identity as Young Master Zhang. He looked nice, but there wasn't a single noble person as the crown prince. He should be ruthless and merciless. People said that it was the doing of the heart, but the Crown Prince's appearance was too harmless.
"We're already here, please come in young lady. His Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you inside. " The man in black brought the water to the study room in the crown prince's mansion and said. Shui Long listened carefully and knocked on the door.
"Come in." The people in the room answered very quickly, as if they had been waiting for a long time, and even felt a hint of excitement. The people in the room answered very quickly, as if they had been waiting for a long time, and even felt a bit of excitement. Even the maid that served him wasn't present.
Clearly, he was waiting for her arrival. Moreover, there was something important that he wanted to tell her. Shui Yuehan suppressed his curiosity, took a deep breath and walked forward.
