Chapter Twenty-Two: Calculations

  Move your body away, I think it's dirty!

  The woman's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion.

  Harrington was momentarily stunned, and the bold woman in front of him was like a basin of cold water poured over his head, making him want to disappear instantly. This had never happened before! The most important thing was that she didn't need to flirt or use her feminine wiles to spark his interest in her! He gazed at the beautiful woman with a slightly bewildered expression.

  "Your Majesty, please step aside." Murong Yi reminded once again.

  Herman slowly moved his body away, but still maintained the posture of holding her in his arms.

  A strong undercurrent flowed between their gazes, don't misunderstand, this absolutely wasn't a romantic exchange, but rather a turbulent and surging undercurrent.

  Time is quietly passing by.

  The rain grew heavier and heavier, gradually turning into hail.

  Peach-sized hailstones hit the water surface, splashing mud and water everywhere.

  Mud and water splashed down onto the feet of the two people.

  Murong Yi suddenly pushed He Lan Ting away, "Your Highness, what else do you want? Do you want to make things difficult for me, a poor woman with a child? I beg of you, Your Highness, isn't it enough that I've begged you?" Standing five steps away from He Lan Ting, Murong Yi's expression changed in an instant, and she looked at him with a gentle smile. Her words were humble and pleading, but her eyes still held a cold intent.

  He Lan Ting looked at Murong Yi with some astonishment, and in a short period of time, she had changed so much that the woman standing before him was indeed a cunning and multifaceted woman! But precisely at this moment, because of her words, the anger and killing intent that had been accumulating in his heart suddenly disappeared.

  Seeing the faint signs of killing intent in Helan Tingfeng's eyes, Murong Yihen sneered coldly in her heart, but her smile remained unchanged on her face. She continued to say: "Actually, Crown Prince should thank me, shouldn't he? Murong Yin has long been deeply infatuated with the handsome and extraordinary Crown Prince. Even without my help last night, she would have used every means to get into Crown Prince's bed sooner or later. After what happened last night, Murong Yin will definitely not bother Crown Prince again."

  "Oh? So it was you who solved a difficult problem for me?" Unexpectedly, under her deliberate flattery, He Lan Ting suddenly realized that his mood had slowly improved, completely different from the tense atmosphere just now. And he temporarily ignored the fact that the change in atmosphere between the two of them was entirely controlled by the cunning woman in front of him.

  "This is an undeniable fact!" Murong Yi replied with a resolute tone. Turning around, he picked up a chair from the side and placed it in front of He Lan Ting, "Your Highness, please take a seat."

  He Lan Ting's eyebrows twitched slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he sat down. A beautiful and enchanting face with a hint of interest looked at Murong Yi.

  "Doesn't the Emperor think that Murong Yin is too self-conceited? With her ugly face, she still dares to think of marrying the Emperor? Even if the Emperor were to force himself to sleep with her after blowing out the candles, I absolutely think it would be a waste for the Emperor!"

  He Lan Ting's mouth twitched, and he forced himself to blow out the candle. "So, you're saying that Tian Yi shouted that Mu Rong Yin was humiliated?" He asked with some curiosity about Mu Rong Yi's response.

  In the sound of heavy rain, the woman's voice was pleasant and lively. Murong Yi sat on the other side, her mouth slightly moving, then smiled and said: "This matter has long been not the point, the key is the result, Murong Yin finally dared to seduce Emperor Zhen. However, doesn't Emperor Zhen feel insulted? Does he just want to let it go like this?"

  Unconsciously, it seemed as if the two of them were standing on a boat.

  Helan Ting leaned back in his chair with a sly smile: "So, you want me to pursue this matter?"

  "No, it's not what I think. If King Ruochen lets this matter go like this, then in the future, all kinds of people will dare to try and entice you." Murong Yimou said with a flash of light in her eyes.

  "Speak!" Helan Ting's lips, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually faded. The chill that had just dissipated spread around him again. It turned out that she was waiting for him to soften her attitude here. A clever woman, an extremely clever woman.

  This is a woman who will not harm her own interests no matter what she does! In a short time, He Lanting summed up the character of the woman in front of him. However, he also disliked women who were calculating and manipulative.

  "My father, Prime Minister, Madam Prime Minister, and Murong Yin should all pay the price, shouldn't they?"

  "Good." He agreed, not to satisfy her. But those who had been teasing him all along would absolutely have to pay the price! Of course, she was no exception. "And you, you must also pay the price."

  Murong Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, then she lifted her head again, and she was already smiling seductively, "Don't worry, I will definitely give the Crown Prince a wonderful night."

  He Lan Ting's dark eyes gazed deeply at Murong Yi, no longer speaking.

  ……

  "Despicable!" Murong Chen cursed in a low voice.

  Jiang Yue and Murong Yin both had tears in their eyes, Jiang Yue wiped away her tears and said: "Master, she actually dares to tease me and Yin'er like this, and her attitude is so arrogant, completely not putting Master in her eyes. Master must definitely seek justice for me and Yin'er!"

  Murong Chen's face turned iron-green. "Don't worry, let her be arrogant for two more days. I have already decided to marry her off again."

  "Marry?" Jiang Yue was taken aback, a discarded woman like herself, who would marry?

  Murong Yin furrowed her brow, could it be that Father was protecting Murong Yi?

  "At first, I had her stay in the mansion, and I had already made up my mind." Otherwise, why would he keep a useless daughter who always disgusted him and opposed him everywhere.

  Jiang Yue and Murong Yin clearly saw the disgust and hatred in Murong Chen's eyes, and they both knew that this marriage would make Murong Yi suffer to the point of not wanting to live! They just watched as Murong Yi continued to be arrogant!

  ……

  Inside a uniquely decorated mansion.

  A man in white clothes stands under the plum blossoms in full bloom, surpassing the snow.

  Under the magnificent scene of plum blossoms dancing in the air, the man's skin was as fair as snow, and his exceptionally handsome face wore a warm smile.

  Lin Guanghan held the letter in his hand and stood not far away, waiting for the man's order.

  "Tomorrow is the day of the appointment between me and King Chen, isn't it?" Chu Ming asked in a low voice.

  A gentle breeze blew, and a white robe fluttered in the wind, dancing with plum blossoms. Small white petals fell on his black hair, brushing against his cheek, those eyes without focus, quiet and profound, vast and boundless. The slight movement seemed to go unnoticed by him.

  Lin Guanghan seemed to have long been accustomed to such a beautiful view, and was even more accustomed to Chu Ming's calmness. He nodded and said, "Yes."

  "Good."

  "Master, Miss Nalan has sent a letter."

  "Think."

  "It's been several days since I last saw you, and I've been thinking of you a lot. Recently, my older brother and I are going to visit the Moon Viewing Country, and I hope we can meet again soon."
