The old butler looked at Murong Qing's determined look and could not say more but sigh helplessly.
'I don't know whether this girl is good or bad for the prince... '
***
Imperial Palace.
Inside the imperial study room...
A man in dragon robes sat on the dragon chair. He flipped through the folders in his hand and asked, "Qing'er has brought back Flower King. Have you heard anything from State Preceptor? Can Qing'er consume the fruit now?"
The eunuch stood by with a feather duster in his hand and said respectfully, "Emperor, this flower has been raised within the harem, and when it blossoms and bears fruit, it will be able to save the prince."
"Hmm."
The man's tightly furrowed brow loosened, and he smiled faintly.
'Qing'er has gone through a lot all these years. Everyone is worried about his poor health. If the flower can heal him, it doesn't even matter if he can't cultivate. '
After all, if he did not recover this time, his life would be in danger, and he might die because of it.
Just then, a sharp voice spoke outside the door."Emperor, the empress requests to meet you."
The emperor paused and said indifferently, "Let her in."
"Yes, Emperor."
The door was gradually pushed open.
The woman dressed in a dazzling phoenix dress walked into the study room and smiled gently.
The emperor glanced at her briefly and withdrew his gaze; he remained expressionless."Empress, I need to deal with official business now. Do you need anything?"
The empress lowered her gaze, hiding the gloom in her eyes.
These years, the emperor treated her like a guest, and even the concubines in the harem were treated better than her.
However, she knew that it was all because of that woman.
He could not let that woman go. Every time he looked at her, it was like he was looking at another person through her.
She was with him, but he was chanting that woman's name.
"Emperor..." The empress lowered her gaze, covering the jealousy. A few moments later, she raised her face and looked at the emperor."I came to speak about the girl in Qing'er's residence."
The emperor froze a little and was silent for a short while."Qing'er is not young anymore. He has never left his home all these years because of his poor health, let alone meet any girl. But he is of marriageable age now, so it is normal for him to be interested in a girl."
"But..." The Empress said with a faint smile, "Emperor, don't you think that girl is a little strange?"
Initially, she had wanted to use that girl to deal with Murong Qing.
However, the little girl was so stubborn. Therefore, she had to get rid of that girl first.
Murong Qing's mother stole the man she loved so she would never let that b* tch's son live happily.
She tricked Murong Qing to leave the palace and wanted to kill him, but he still came back alive. It was not easy to hurt Murong Qing when the emperor was here.
Therefore, to destroy Murong Qing, she must start from his marriage and make one of her people his wife.
The emperor pondered for a moment."You went to see the girl? How is she? Can she treat Qing'er well?"
The empress smiled bitterly."That girl... Is quite problematic. This morning, the servant from the prince's manor complained that the girl did not want to be served by them. Those servants have served Qing'er since childhood, and Qing'er still doesn't know about this matter. I do not dare to tell him. Moreover, that girl's wolf attacked me went I went to see her a few days ago..."
