Chapter 333: Plum Blossoms

d he struggled to suppress the surge of anger within him.This dead woman! She really got lucky and should be grateful, how can she look so irritating!Jun Liye casually chimed in from the side, "Ying'e...The emperor has a huge number of memorials to review every day. Having to help him for half a month straight, wouldn't that be incredibly tedious

Can he refuse!

Two blossoms open, each representing a separate branch.

On a deserted path, two pure chestnut horses ran side by side, with a man and a woman on each back.

The man wore a long, blue silk robe. He was handsome and strikingly beautiful.

The woman was dressed in a soft, blue smoke-like robe. Her features were delicate and exquisite, with the gentle grace characteristic of Jiangnan women, yet she also possessed a certain air of heroism. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Master, we've been on the road for several days now. Let's rest for a while. …Yun Ling is in Dongyue Mountain, she can't run away. Why are you so anxious" Si Tu Wan'er raised her little hand and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. Her face was dusty from the journey, but her beauty remained undimmed.

Since they learned that Su Qingying was Yun Ling a few days ago, they immediately set off from Xiangfu. Calculating the time, they had been traveling for four or five days straight.

"No, I've waited for her for three years, I can't wait any longer. I must personally confirm if she is Yun Ling. I have to hear the answer from her with my own ears." Rong Yue shook his head, suppressing the excitement in his heart. He wished he could fly to Su Qingying's side immediately.

"Husband…" Gazing at his eyes that shone faintly, Si Tu Wan'er's beautiful eyes dimmed, a flicker of pain crossing her peony-like face. She bit her lip, a pang of heartache spreading in her heart.

"Wan'er, you should go back first. There's no need to accompany me through all this dust and wind. I can go alone. You should return to the Xiangfu." Looking at her ink hair disheveled by the sand and wind, Rong Yue furrowed her brows slightly, feeling a bit guilty.

“If you’re not going back to the Xiangfu, then what am I staying for” Si Tu Wan'er quickly adjusted her expression, offering a slight smile. With a flick of her reins, she brought her horse charging forward. “Come on, aren’t you in a hurry to get going It’s almost dusk. We need to find shelter before nightfall, or we’ll be sleeping out under the stars tonight.”

With her back turned to him, a single tear escaped her eye and quickly vanished into the air, leaving him no chance to catch it.

Seeing her suddenly rush to the front of him, Rong Yue’s words of refusal all got stuck in his throat. He shook his head and sighed softly, “Wan'er, why are you doing this”

Even though he spoke in a low voice, Situ Wan’er still heard him. A trace of melancholy and bitterness flashed across her face.

Then, Master Xiangye, why are you doing this

Several days passed after Su Chengming was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum's Liyuan. Su Ziyue immediately began to arrange for his enthronement a few days later. One thing followed another, and he was busy as a top every day.

This day, the weather was bright and sunny with a few white clouds like cotton floating in the azure sky.

The autumn sun wasn't scorching hot, but it felt warm on your skin. It was accompanied by gentle autumn breezes that swept through occasionally.

In the Dongyue Kingdom's Imperial Garden, within a pavilion with red pillars and green tiles.

Su Qingying rested comfortably with her legs crossed, leaning against Jun Liye’s lap. She would occasionally open her mouth to enjoy the grapes fed to her by Jun Liye, looking perfectly content.

"Your Highness, two people named Rong Yue and Situ Wan'er have arrived at the city gates claiming to wish to see you. They are waiting there now. Shall I allow them in" A young palace maid hurried over from outside and reported respectfully.

"Huh Rong Yue and Wan'er How did they get here" Su Qingying abruptly opened her eyes, springing up from Jun Liye's leg. Her obsidian-like phoenix eyes flashed with obvious confusion.

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out. Su Qingying simply gave up and waved to Xi'er who was munching on sunflower seeds not far away. She smiled and said, "Xi'er, you go with her and quickly bring the two of them to Yuyuan Garden."

"Understood, Your Highness," she said. She placed the uneaten melon seeds on the stone table, patted her small hands together, and immediately left with the maidservant.

As soon as Xi'er left, Jun Liye’s ghostly voice echoed behind her, laced with a palpable hint of jealousy, “What did Rong Yue want to talk to you about”

"A Li, you're here again. It's not just Rong Yue who came to find me, there's also Situ Wan'er accompanying her, isn't that right Can you please stop being so petty" Patting his frightened heart, Su Qingying slapped the back of his head with an uncaring hand and gave him a few annoyed glares.

This demon, he's getting more and more jealous. I don't really know what to say about him anymore.

The noble head was struck, Jun Li Ye rarely froze for a few seconds, reacted, he immediately glared back resentfully, "Mo Xuan."

"At your service," Mo Xuan emerged from the shadows, kneeling respectfully before him.

"Immediately bring me a pair of scissors," Jun Liye gritted his teeth.

"Scissors What do you want scissors for You wouldn't be cutting up Rong Yue, would you That's not okay!" Upon hearing this, Su Qingying was immediately jolted, her whole body trembling with fear. Her mind instantly conjured a horrific and gruesome scene.

"Humph, this king will cut the peach blossoms!" A certain demon was extremely arrogant and turned his head away, a thick sourness like waves surging over, nearly choking them to death.

Su Qingying: "..."

Oh my god! Are you kidding me It's autumn now, almost winter, where is the peach blossom coming from!

Mo Xuan: "..."

How come his home regent is getting more and more childish He can't even bear to complain!

Soon, Xi'er led Rong Yue and Situ Wan'er over to them. After inviting them to sit down, Xi'er smiled and said, "Princess, Lord Rong and Miss Situ have arrived."

"Light as a feather, it's been so long." Si Tu Wan'er smiled playfully, her beautiful eyes shining with surprise.

She had seen her beauty when she was in Ximing Country. At that time, she was stunningly beautiful and breathtaking. But now, there's a hint of charm in her eyebrows and eyes, which makes her even more alluring and captivating. She looks like red roses blooming fiercely, gorgeous and eye-catching. Even though he knew she was a woman, he couldn't help but be astonished.

"Well, it's been a long time. Wan'er, you're even prettier now." Su Qingying smiled and sat beside her. She still had a good feeling for her; she was actually the first friend she made in Ximing.

Facing her, Situ Wan'er's mood relaxed considerably. She smiled, "No matter how beautiful she is, she's not half as pretty as you are In front of you, I feel ashamed of myself."

"Come on, you're exaggerating! Xi'er, what do you think Who looks better" Su Qingying pouted her lips adorably and quickly called out to Xi'er.

Yuer looked at Situ Wan'er, then at Su Qingying, covering her mouth and giggling, "Hmm... in my opinion, both of you are equally matched, each with their own unique charm. You are both breathtakingly beautiful."

She was speaking the truth, not a word of flattery. The two of them were completely different in terms of beauty; it was impossible to compare them.

Su Qingying nodded playfully and said, “That’s right, Wan'er. You are one of the world’s renowned beauties, just like me. Your beauty is top-notch, so don’t be so modest.”

The two most renowned beauties in the world are Situ Wan'er and Yun Ling!anren, absorbed in his own game of chess, casually placed a white piece down without even looking up. 。The letter said they hadn't succeeded in their assassination attempt, and more than half of the p...
