"Greetings to mother." The princess consort saw that the empress was frightened, so she paid her respects and tried to remind her of the current situation.

At the side, Shui Ruo also slowly knelt down. "This humble woman, Shui Ruo, pays her respects to the empress."

"You're Shui Ruo?" The empress frowned as she looked at the water, feeling unwell. What kind of joke was this? Was this woman Shui Ruo?

Was it the woman that the Third Marquis had fallen for? No... It didn't seem like it.

The one that the Third Marquis liked was said to be very pretty. Then what about this one in front of him?

Is it what Yan'er likes?

Thinking of this, the empress was in a bad mood again.

What's wrong with Yan'er's gaze? Could it be that this woman knows some sort of magical art?

Otherwise, how could Yan'er fall in love with such a woman?

The empress was irritable, but what she didn't know was that the princess consort was even more so.

Judging from the empress's expression right now, she must have been looking down on Wandering Water. As the crown prince's consort, she couldn't even win against such a woman. Was she even a woman?

When she thought of how the empress despised her because of this, the crown prince's consort wished that Shui Ruo could wash her face right away.

So how annoying was this woman? She shouldn't have been this late in the morning, but instead, at this kind of time, she was above this sort of thing.

What was she supposed to say?

How could she face others?

Annoyed, Shangguan Yun could not utter a word. As for the Empress, she was in charge of the harem. What hadn't she seen before? Although the leisurely event in the water surprised her, she quickly calmed down.

The Queen took a closer look at the water. It looked like the seedlings were not bad, but because of the extra drawings on their faces, they looked very scary.

She was a clever girl, and she knew better than to use her appearance to attract attention.

However, if that was the case, the Crown Princess's thoughts might not come true.

He had to think of a way.

As she was thinking, the Queen raised her head and said to the two of them, "You two, get up. Ling'er, go and find the Second Prince and tell him that I have a banquet here that I hope he will be able to attend. "

"Yes, esteemed empress." After receiving the order, Ling'er immediately ran out.

In fact, the empress wanted to find the Night Emperor to cultivate. She was still curious about Shui You's identity.

The crown prince had protected this woman well, to the point where he couldn't even find out her background. Although this woman matched well with Shui Ruo, she had once thought so too. However, this woman in front of her had a face full of makeup, making her unable to make up her mind.

The Night Emperor was the closest person to her. If he were to come, she would definitely expose herself. Unfortunately, the Night Emperor wasn't in the palace.

As for Night Emperor Shang, he happened to have some matters to attend to in the palace.

On the other side, the empress's plans were in full swing. Shui Ruo and the Crown Princess sat together.

"Crown Princess, you have a high status. It's better if you don't sit with me." Shui Wanshui smiled as he looked at the princess consort, who seemed to be facing a great enemy.

The Crown Princess heard that. She looked at the water in her eyes and felt even more angry.

At this moment, she really wanted to smash her fist into the dead water. Then he said to her, You think I want to sit with you? If it wasn't for your ugly appearance that worried me, would I have sat with you?

Of course, she could not say these words. Today's plan may not succeed, but if it doesn't, sooner or later, this news will reach the ears of the crown prince and he will definitely blame the crown prince for it. Therefore, he definitely could not offend Shui Ruo. If things did not go well, he had to at least make Shui Ruo treat her better, and then speak up for her in front of the crown prince.

Although such a thought was very sad, what was laughable was that this was her only choice.

There was nothing else she could do.

Night Emperor Shang had always loved banquets, so when he heard of a banquet, he rushed over at the fastest speed possible.

When he arrived, everyone was talking and laughing in groups of three or five.

The empress, on the other hand, smiled and looked at them.

However, when the empress's gaze landed on a particular spot, there was always a trace of awkwardness.

Emperor Ye Shang followed the Empress' gaze, and then his pupils abruptly contracted. However, it only lasted for an instant before everything returned to normal.

He looked in the direction of the girl, at the girl in blue with a strange expression on her face, and his heart was beating wildly.

No doubt about it, no matter what she looked like, no matter how miserable and ugly she looked. He could recognize her at a glance. Because this woman looked so different.

It didn't matter if it was her at the moment when she was good-looking or at the moment. It was all the same, with loneliness and sorrow in the bones.

He had never liked or thought so much about a person.

Because he knew that she wanted to save him, he used such an extreme method to lock her up. Then, he invited the crown prince's men to come and take her away.

Because he liked her, he was willing to help the Night Emperor for her sake.

If it was for this woman, no matter what he had to do, he was willing to do it.

And now?

He directly walked to the front of Shui You. Looking at Shui Long, his beautiful eyes flashed with a gentle light, "My lady, can you come with me?"

Night Emperor Shang was a very gentle looking man, but he was a fox, a cunning fox.

Because foxes are cunning, they know what expressions are most relaxing.

And Night Emperor Shang was such a person.

Shui Ruo looked at the man. When she met his gaze, her face changed. She wanted to refuse, but she received a threatening gaze from the man. If he refused, she would die for sure.

With a coy smile, he nodded and said, "Of course, it's my honor."

Surprise! An unexpected surprise! The Crown Princess almost cried because of the excitement as she looked at the gentle invitation of the king, who didn't mind the water at all.

An unexpected surprise! He truly did not expect that the man who was sought after so crazily by the women of the world would actually be someone who liked to be ugly and weird. He did not expect that Shui Ruo's unexpected appearance would interest Night Emperor Shang.

and so on... Could it be that Shui Ruo did it on purpose? It was because he knew that Night Emperor Shang would like this kind of woman, so he deliberately created her in such a manner, so as to win her over?

What a terrible woman.

The Crown Princess was thinking and looking at the water, she became more cautious.

However, what she did not know was that she had really thought too much. Shui Ruo had not even dreamt that she would use this kind of appearance to see Night Emperor Shang, much less that he would immediately recognize her and even threaten her to sit with him!

What a stomachache! Water covered his face silently as he thought.

"Long time no see." Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo, his tone gentle. He looked at Shui Ruo, as if he was looking at his lover, so gentle.

Shui Long's face changed as he heard this: "Really?" If I remember correctly, it should only be a few days. "

"But to me, if I don't see you in a day, I'll miss you so much that I'll go crazy. What did he say? "It's been a long time since we last met."

Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and said gently.

Shui You listened to the man's weird words and felt a chill in his heart. Compared to Night Emperor Yan, she was even more afraid of the Night Emperor Shang in front of her.

It was probably due to him admiring the goddess in his heart, so he wouldn't do anything to her. However, Night Emperor Shang was different. This fox could eat her at any time, framing her and causing her to be trapped in a land of no return.

If it was said that the true feelings of the Night Emperor Flames made Shui Ruo not afraid, then the mischief of the Night Emperor Sang was something that others could not see through. What truly caused fear in the hearts of the people.

Shui Ruo was very afraid of him, and was also thinking about whether or not to run away.

If he couldn't escape, he had to at least stay away from her.

"What a cunning woman, secretly stealing my heart, yet still acting as if you and I have nothing to do with each other." Hey, don't you need to be responsible? "

The man gently stroked Shui Yuejian's hair. Shui Yuehan was even more shocked by his attitude.

If it weren't for the circumstances, she really wanted to give him a shot.

After silently wiping away the man's hand, Shui Ruo looked at the man, and said with a frown: "Is that enough? Even if you are the Prince, please stop messing around as long as you don't forget what you have done to me. "

"It is because I remember that I am like this. Isn't it irresponsible to run away from me like that? Or could it be that to you, I'm that easy to talk to? "

The man looked at Shui Long and asked playfully.

Shui Long listened quietly. There was no answer.

Not because this man was easy to talk to, but because … She was used to being treated with gentleness. He had already made preparations to respond no matter what Emperor Ye Shang did.

No matter what, he couldn't allow the previous situation to happen again.

The humiliation of being imprisoned once was enough to last a lifetime.

"Is the Crown Prince nice to you?" Just as Shui Ruo was thinking about the matter from before, Night Emperor Shang's voice once again rang out.

Shui Ruo heard him and was surprised that he would suddenly change the topic. However, this was exactly what he wanted, so he said: "It's okay, other than occasionally being a little strange, most of the time it's fine. Besides, it won't restrict my freedom. "They will even help me advise on Shui Family's problems, which is much better than yours." Shui Long said bluntly.

Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang laughed innocently. A hint of playfulness appeared on that charming face, "There will be no free dinner in this world."

"But I would rather be his dinner than yours. It was decided from the moment you refused to save the people of my Shui family. " Shui icily declared as he leisurely looked at Night Emperor Shang.

As for the person known as Night Emperor Shang, Shui Yuehan was somewhat at a loss.

This man, always so mysterious, always so, so self-conscious, to be exact, so calm.

The first time they met, he knew that if something was not worth it, then he would absolutely not do it. If it was worth it, then he would definitely get it.

He felt that he should obtain Shui Ruo, but he did not want to help the Shui family.

This person was terrifyingly cold, no one dared to look him in the eye.

"Is the lady afraid of me?" As if he had guessed what Shui Ruo was thinking at the moment, Night Emperor Shang looked at him with a gentle gaze.

Shui Ruo heard that and frowned: "Afraid of you? How is this possible? You won't do anything to me now. "

"Oh? If I'm not wrong, you should be very afraid that the empress knows your identity right now, right? [Besides, the Queen invited you, who is unknown, to the palace to help the Crown Princess, right?] Right now, you are in danger. Even if I don't do anything, you are already in danger. Oh right, I forgot to tell you, the crown prince was ordered by royal father to supervise outside of the city during morning assembly and would only return after a period of time. Who do you think will be able to protect you during this period of time? "

No doubt about it. He quietly added this sentence in his heart, but at this moment, he unexpectedly wanted to hear Shui Ruo voluntarily submit to him.

Of course, this was only his own imagination. This was because he knew very well that Shui Long was not that kind of person. She wouldn't be the one to give in to others.

Especially since he was Night Emperor Shang.
