Chapter 176 The Prince Never Grows Old
"Your Highness, we've arrived," Hei Ming said, leaping down from the carriage.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a pair of slender hands, clearly not belonging to the prince, lifted the carriage curtain. A flash of fiery red followed, and then another person appeared beside him—none other than the Third Young Master Feng.
After Feng Qingge disembarked, Mo Linyuan followed her off the carriage, his movements different from her quickness, instead exuding an elegant air.
However, Feng Qingge just couldn't stand his pretentious and slow manner.
Ignoring the master and servant, she turned around and walked up the steps toward the government office.
Mo Linyuan didn't care; he was happy to have someone take the lead, so he followed behind her, and the three of them entered the government office.
Because the Jingzhao Prefecture had received prior orders from Prefect Qin Hong, no one dared to block their way, even though there were constables on the road.
Everyone knows the Regent of Great Yan, whose status is supreme. Who would be foolish enough to try to stop him? Besides, even without the Prefect's order, no one would dare to speak up, okay?
Therefore, the three of them went straight to the morgue without any hindrance.
Feng Qingge led the way without getting lost. She had been here once before, so she still remembered the way, which Mo Linyuan greatly admired.
In front of the morgue door stood a constable and a coroner, both of whom had received orders early in the morning and were waiting there.
From afar, a red figure could be seen approaching. Although it was dark, the red was extremely eye-catching, and it was easy to see clearly without even trying.
As the three approached, the two men bowed. Ordinary people would kneel and prostrate themselves before the Regent, so the two men prostrated themselves on the ground and said in unison, "Welcome, Regent."
"Get up." Ignoring Feng Qingge's sigh, Mo Linyuan waved his sleeve, gesturing for the two to rise.
Having received permission, the two stood up, dusted off their robes, and stood aside, awaiting orders.
"Tsk tsk, this is quite a grand gesture, Your Highness. Given our relationship, I don't need to perform such a grand ceremony." This was the first time Feng Qingge had ever seen someone perform such a grand ceremony to Mo Linyuan, so it was only at this moment that she realized his identity.
However, upon hearing this, Mo Linyuan raised his eyebrows and said with apparent interest, "Oh, how come I don't know about your relationship with me?" Besides, when had Feng Qingge ever bowed to him? Every time she saw him, she addressed him by his full name.
"Hehe, it's no problem at all. After all, I've helped you so many times, we're old acquaintances." He smiled obsequiously, and when it came to arguing, he was as good as two of them.
Mo Linyuan glanced at her, seemingly enjoying the fawning expression on her face, then stepped up the stairs and entered the morgue, ignoring Feng Qingge who was following behind him like a tail.
Feng Qingge thought the matter was over, but as soon as she followed him into the morgue, she heard Mo Linyuan's cold and aloof voice from the front. He said, "Help? Didn't you, Young Master Feng, ask for a reward that time? Besides, am I that old?" The first sentence sounded like a joke, but the second sentence was rather serious.
“Uh…” Feng Qingge was a little unable to keep up with his words. He was talking about one thing, but the next second he was talking about something else.
"I am only thirty years old, nine years older than you." I am not old at all.
Mo Linyuan was indeed concerned about her age. She was only twenty-one years old, as young as a budding flower, while he was nine years older than her and did look rather old.
"Hehe, hehe, Your Highness is not old, not old at all."
