"His Majesty has arrived."
Just as they finished tidying up, they heard a notification, and then a figure in dark robes walked in.
It is said that Yuwen Yao did not wear a yellow robe on the first day of his ascension to the throne, which shocked all the officials. However, Yuwen Yao simply waved his sleeves and said, "Present a memorial," which silenced all the officials.
After that, Yuwen Yao always wore either black or white, and never wore the bright yellow dragon robe that originally belonged only to the monarch. However, no one ever mentioned it again.
At this moment, he walked in under the moonlight, his head bound with a jade crown, his black hair as black as silk, his tall figure as jade-like, his exquisite features like an unfolding scroll, with both shades of ink perfectly balanced, making one feel as if the world had become mere background, with only him in one's eyes, only him, and looking at him, one could forget to breathe.
The sound of robes fluttering gently with each step was like the joy of flowers blooming.
only……
His aura was so cold that getting any closer sent a chill down one's spine.
Nan Lingqin paused slightly as she picked up the food box, then stepped aside and bowed to the others along with the other women.
"emperor……"
Before Yuwen Yao could even say "Rise," Miss Shen from the Prime Minister's residence had already spoken in a delicate voice. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked so pitiful. Coupled with her... fiery red lips, the scene was so beautiful that it was almost too much to bear.
"His appearance is damaged; send him away."
However, the ruthless Yuwen Yao shattered all of the young lady's hopes with a single, cold sentence.
There was no time to even cry; Tingfeng knocked her unconscious and carried her back.
That's really something, no chivalry at all.
The other three women, having the honor of seeing the Emperor's face, almost forgot to breathe.
In that instant, Nan Lingqin understood that the term "pervert" wasn't just used to describe men, but also women.
Yuwen Yao walked over with his hands behind his back. As he passed Nan Lingqin, his eyelashes seemed to flutter, or perhaps they didn't.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Yuwen Yao raised a phoenix eye and, without even glancing at the three women in front of him, already intended to drive them away.
Alright, the air around us instantly froze solid. The master has arrived; there's no need for any pretense.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I was summoned by the Emperor Emeritus to serve... Your Majesty."
Just kidding, we've waited until we saw the emperor, it would be foolish to leave now.
"Serve?"
Yuwen Yao's gaze suddenly fell on the woman who had spoken.
The woman seemed to want to share a deep gaze with Yuwen Yao, but as soon as she looked up, before she could even see him clearly, she felt a chill run through her, making her afraid to move.
"You are all daughters of officials, yet you dare to talk to me about serving me."
Yuwen Yao's almost sarcastic tone silenced the three women.
Nan Lingqin felt that there was nothing to do at the moment, and was just thinking that she would probably leave with these three young ladies in a while.
"Are you new to Tianxia Yiwei?"
Just as she was thinking, Yuwen Yao's voice suddenly rang out. He looked at Nan Lingqin with a deep and unfathomable expression.
...
Just a short while ago, Nan Lingqin followed Tingfeng into the Crown Prince's residence.
Upon hearing the news, Qin Xun hurriedly followed and happened to run into Liu Yunzhou, who was halfway there.
"You just sent someone to tell me, is it true...?"
"It's true, isn't it? What Prince Yi said can't be false."
Liu Yunzhou said.
"Very good."
Qin Xun looked in the direction of the Crown Prince's residence, his eyes revealing excitement.
"I wonder what will happen tonight."
Looking at the distant sky, Liu Yunzhou headed towards the Liu residence with a complex expression.
Qin Xun stood there for a while before turning to leave. In a fleeting glance, he saw a figure flash by in the alley ahead, which was extremely strange and suspicious.
With a tense expression, Qin Xun did not hesitate and immediately chased after him.
"You're not...the Fifth Princess?"
He chased her all the way to the end of the alley, and when Qin Xun saw the woman standing there, he was extremely shocked, "Fifth Princess, wasn't she dead...?"
His understanding was that she was already dead when the emperor announced it that day.
"I'm not dead."
The one who spoke was the Fifth Princess, Yuwen Qingyue. She retorted with a cold smile, her eyes filled with icy intent, "As for you, you'll be dying soon."
Upon hearing the sound, Qin Xun immediately became alert and retreated several meters away. At the same time, two bodyguards who had been hiding in the shadows immediately appeared, protecting him from the front and the back.
"Ha!" Yuwen Qingyue sneered, "You're courting death."
...
The Crown Prince's Residence.
Nan Lingqin lowered her head, "...Your Majesty, yes, that's right."
"Are you married?"
Yuwen Yao said.
Nan Lingqin was slightly confused. She was dressed as a male servant, so of course she was being treated as a boy. However, this problem…
"Your Majesty, this humble subject..."
"How about I bestow these three women upon you?"
Nan Lingqin froze upon hearing Yuwen Yao's words, "Your Majesty, this..."
"Your Majesty, I refuse."
See? Nan Lingqin didn't even need to refuse; those three women were already determined to die rather than submit.
