The person lying on the ground was Shangguan Fang'er, captured from the Imperial Garden...
After Murong Qing escaped from the imperial palace last night, Shangguan Fang'er had been hiding in the flower shed, expecting Qing'er to return and save her.
However, after waiting for most of the night, she hadn't seen Qing'er's figure.
Despite a thorough search by the Imperial Guards, she was still caught.
"You dog emperor, what do you want?" Shangguan Fang'er gritted her teeth, wishing she could skin Ming Emperor alive and drink his blood.
If it weren't for his massive invasion of Chen Country, Chen Country wouldn't have perished...
And her brothers and sisters wouldn't have died under the butcher's knife.
"Heh heh!~" Ming Emperor lifted Shangguan Fang'er's chin and sneered, "Do you think a princess of a fallen nation like you can ask what I want?"
"Kill me or torture me, just do it quickly. I'm not afraid of you..." Shangguan Fang'er slapped away Ming Emperor's hand, her eyes as cold as ice.
She felt uncomfortable just looking at this dog emperor.
Given time, Shangguan Fang'er vowed to kill him with her own hands...
Ming Emperor was slightly stunned, then narrowed his eyes, "I didn't expect you to be so spirited. I ask you, where did that little vixen named Murong Qing go?"
If Murong Qing had escaped, then Murong Taotao would definitely not return...
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Fang'er curled her lips, "Don't say I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you!~"
Letting her reveal Qing'er's whereabouts? She could dream about it.
"Are you really planning to defy me?"
Ming Emperor's face darkened, and he grabbed Shangguan Fang'er by her hair, "Listen carefully, you are nothing but a prisoner now, worse than a slave. What right do you have to defy me?"
With that, Ming Emperor violently flung Shangguan Fang'er to the ground and sneered, "Even if you don't speak, that little vixen will come back to save you. Then, I'll trap her like a rat in a jar and beat her like a dog behind a closed door. Even if she's smart, she won't escape my grasp..."
Ming Emperor knew that Shangguan Fang'er and Murong Qing were as close as sisters.
Therefore, when Princess Fang'er was captured, Murong Qing wouldn't abandon her...
"You are a despicable villain, worse than an animal!~" Shangguan Fang'er roared.
Ming Emperor glanced at her and snorted, "Say whatever you want. As long as I can achieve my goal, I can use any means necessary. If I can't even handle a little vixen, how can I manage such a large country?"
With that, he ordered the guards, "Take her to the Ministry of Punishment and keep a close watch on her..."
If she dared to run again, Ming Emperor would break her legs.
"Yes!~"
Just as the guards were about to escort Shangguan Fang'er away, Ming Emperor's gaze suddenly flashed as he appraised her figure...
Although this woman was married, she was not unattractive. She was charming and graceful, with a curvaceous figure.
Especially her eyes, clear and enchanting, as if they possessed a natural allure that could entice anyone...
"Wait!~"
Ming Emperor couldn't help but swallow, waving his hand, "Leave her here. Have the palace maids and wet nurses bathe and change her. Tonight, I want her to serve me!"
Shangguan Fang'er: "......"
This dog emperor, calling him an old beast was already flattering him.
"What do you want?" Shangguan Fang'er clutched her chest, her face filled with panic.
If this dog emperor dared to do anything improper, she would bite her tongue and commit suicide, or even smash her head against a wall, but she wouldn't let him succeed...
Ming Emperor chuckled, "Didn't you hear? Tonight, I want you to serve me. Shouldn't you be thanking me?"
Other concubines didn't even have the fortune to serve him.
Shangguan Fang'er: "......"
Thank your ancestors.
"Dog emperor, you will die a terrible death, and I will not spare you even as a ghost!~" Shangguan Fang'er's eyes turned red with anger.
Ming Emperor picked at his ear, looking indifferent. After letting the palace maids take Shangguan Fang'er away, he went to the imperial study to review memorials...
Meanwhile, at a small restaurant outside the imperial palace.
Murong Qing sat by the window, eating a bun while observing the movements outside.
After escaping last night, she had found an inn to stay in, slept for a while, and eaten something before contemplating how to rescue Sister Fang'er...
There were countless soldiers on the streets. If she went out now, she would definitely be caught.
As Murong Qing was considering whether to leave through the back door, she suddenly saw a beautiful girl walk in...
The girl carried a bundle on her shoulder, her long hair falling over her shoulders, and her large, round eyes were incredibly beautiful.
Although Murong Qing was also a girl, people naturally gravitate towards beauty...
What was wrong with enjoying a pleasant sight?
"Huh?" Murong Qing, who was observing the beauty, suddenly paused and rubbed her eyes, "No... that's not right!~"
Even though this beauty was gorgeous, why did she have a Adam's apple?
Although not very obvious, Murong Qing still noticed the anomaly. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Could this girl be disguised as a woman?
"Excuse me, is anyone here?"
Just as Murong Qing was racking her brain, the girl suddenly walked over and pointed to the chair in front of her, "The hall is full. Shall we share a table...?"
Murong Qing snapped back to reality and stared blankly at the 'girl' in front of her, "You're a boy, aren't you?"
"Yes, what else?" The girl slowly sat down, her beautiful eyes flickering and captivating.
Murong Qing patted her forehead, utterly bewildered, "Then... then why are you so exquisitely beautiful?"
A male with a feminine appearance, this was rare.
Upon hearing this, the girl chuckled, "In that case, you can just consider me your sister!~"
Whether she was exquisite or not wasn't important. The main thing was to take her back to Liang Country as soon as possible.
That's right, the person who arrived was none other than Xiao Junbao, who had rushed over from Liang Country...
He carried portraits of Murong Qing and Shangguan Fang'er and had traveled day and night, quickly arriving at the capital of Yan Country.
Coincidentally, just as he was so hungry his stomach rumbled and he planned to come in for a couple of buns, he unexpectedly met Murong Qing.
This was great, saving him the trouble of searching...
"Judging by your accent, you must be from Liang Country?" Murong Qing asked in surprise.
Xiao Junbao grunted, then suddenly leaned towards Murong Qing, putting one arm around the back of her head and lowering his voice, "Come with me, I'm sent by the Crown Prince to save you!~"
Murong Qing: "???"
Was he someone sent by Xiao Jinheng?
"How... how can I trust you?" Murong Qing looked at the peerless face before her, her cheeks flushing slightly.
She had never been this close to a boy before...
Their posture was intimate, faces close, even feeling each other's breath.
Xiao Junbao was a vain and well-groomed person, always carrying a sachet.
As those wisps of minty fragrance wafted out, Murong Qing's heart beat even faster...
