Mu Yu Ting unhappily glared at Xiao Cheng, "Your highness, I'm not like you. I can come and go freely in the palace. If you don't have an invitation from the emperor or the empress, how would you be able to enter? "
This time, she didn't lie. Even if she really wanted to do it, she didn't have such a condition.
She was just a small direct daughter of the Prime Minister. She didn't have a prominent position in the huge palace, so how could she come and go as she pleased?
"I don't want to present my tablet to the Prince every month in order to donate your blood. If that's really the case, then who knows what sort of rumors will spread out. "
Without even thinking about it, Mu Qiuting knew that after this birthday banquet, rumors about her and Xiao Chen would spread like wildfire.
In the palace, everyone's eyes were on her. If she really did request to see Xiao Chan again and again, then there would be more and more unfavorable comments from the servants towards her.
"Don't worry. This King will naturally say those words. That is something that can be achieved with certainty." Xiao Chan shifted her gaze away from the wound on Mu Qiantang's neck and met her gaze indifferently.
He was not a casual person. He would never say nonsense that he was not confident in achieving.
"Oh?" Mu Yu Ting's smile was like a flower, but she didn't doubt the depths of her eyes. "I don't know if Your Highness has any good ideas, but could it be that you know of a secret passage from the Royal Palace?"
Xiao Zhan could hear the mockery in her words, but he was not angry. He only looked at Mu Yuting for a few seconds before coldly shouting, "Dark Guard!"
Mu Yu Ting was stunned by his words, and looked at her in confusion.
Before she could open her mouth to ask, a black figure suddenly jumped out of the window and knelt down in front of Mu Qiuting's bed without a sound.
A man with such a robust physique was able to land on the ground without making a sound. Presumably, he had an extremely good Qing Gong.
Mu Yu Ting frowned slightly. She stared at the hidden guard for a long time before shifting her gaze back to Xiao Chen. "Your Royal Highness, what are you doing?"
Although she didn't know much about the dark guardians previously, she knew a little about them. Every single dark guard had been carefully trained and trained. They were a talent that was one in a hundred, but they were an extremely powerful force behind them.
And now, what was Xiao Shan's intention in calling his secret guard over to her?
"This is Shadow. He will help you send it to the palace every 15th day of the month. No need to trouble Miss Mu."
"That's not good. I presume that the secret guards by the prince's side are very busy all the time. Wouldn't that be too much of a burden for him?" Mu Yu Ting acted as if she was thinking for someone else, "I don't think we need to trouble him."
How could Xiao Chen not see through the intentions behind Mu Qiantang's words? The smile in his eyes deepened, "Ying will only follow by your side and pay attention to food and clothing. Miss Mu does not need to worry about the burden of his work."
"Furthermore, even if I were to let him run away, he would still be able to take care of the burden of this task. If he can't even do this little thing, he can just leave. "
When Ying Ying heard the cold intent in Xiao Shan's words, his body abruptly shivered. He inwardly complained in his heart. Why did the grudge between Master and Miss Mu involve him?
Mu Yuting saw that this move did not work, and shifted the target of her appreciation. "My lord, I know that every guard is your right-hand man. "Since you're so busy with official business, if you give me your Shadow, what will you do about the lack of people? I don't think so."
Since being a servant didn't work, then she would do the same to Xiao Xian.
"You don't need to worry about this Miss Mu. I know what I'm doing."
"Then …"
Mu Yu Ting wanted to think of an excuse again to persuade Xiao Cheng to retract the Dark Guard, but was coldly interrupted, "Mu Yu Ting, you're also a smart person. I believe that This King has buried the hidden guards beside you for other reasons, so I don't think I need to say more. "
The air suddenly became quiet. Mu Qiushan lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes covering up all the emotions in her eyes.
After a while, Mu Qiantang raised her head again and met Xiao Chen's eyes. With an indifferent expression, she asked, "Your highness, are you trying to monitor me in a different way?"
Rather than saying that she was asking, it would be more accurate to say that she was confirming the answer at the bottom of her heart. After all, the mystery of this question was too obvious.
Xiao Hong did not answer, admitting it tacitly. "Since you are going to use this method to repay this king's favor, then you must take good care of it."
Mu Yu Ting sneered. Instead of saying 'pay attention' was better than 'pay attention', why didn't she say 'monitor' instead?
"Mu Yu Ting, if you dare to run away or do anything else, don't blame me for being ruthless. At that time, the greatest kindness This King can give you is to make Shadow's hands move faster and to prevent you from dying too painfully. "
His casual tone had faded, allowing him to put on a serious look.
Xiao Chen's words were clearly very casual, but they caused Mu Qiushan to feel a chill down her spine. She understood that Xiao Cheng wasn't joking when he said that. He definitely could do such a thing!
"There are so many people in the world, why did the king choose me?"
Mu Yu Ting had wanted to know this question for a long time, but she had never said it out loud. At this moment, she finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
As a physician, although she could not be magnanimous, she still had a heart that could pity others. She could think about other things, but when it came to matters of life and death, she instinctively thought about herself.
Mu Yu Ting's eyes shined. With the urgency of wanting to know the truth, Xiao Chen was slightly startled. "Mu Yu Ting, there are some things that this king doesn't want to change as long as it is in my mind."
"But …" Mu Yu Ting wanted to argue with him, but Xiao Chen suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Mu Yu Ting gnashed her teeth in anger. Every time during a critical moment like this, this fellow would slip away! The thing she hated the most was that she couldn't do anything to Xiao Cheng.
In the memories of her past life, the name Xiao Chen had been left behind far too little, almost nothing. Her impression of Xiao Chen or her understanding of him was close to zero, which made her feel uneasy and unable to act rashly.
After all, not knowing one's own self and knowing one's opponent's identity was a very foolish thing to do.
"Miss, if you need anything, please just call me." Shadow gave a bow to Mu Yu Ting, then disappeared into the shadows. His every move was completely silent and his speed was so fast that it caused others to wonder if he really existed.
"Damn it!" Mu Yu Ting's hand clenched into a fist, but soon after, a feeling of powerlessness filled her heart.
This feeling of being in a passive position, being watched and controlled by others without being able to change anything made her extremely uncomfortable, as if she was trapped in a whirlpool.
