Chapter 31: Staying in the Imperial Palace (1/2)

After listening to Jun Wuhen’s words, Jun Yeyan fell into contemplation.

”Aoxue, don't lower yourself to his level. My royal brother was used to being spoiled by our royal father. His temper has not changed yet.” Jun Wuhen looked at frowning Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue knew that Jun Wuhen intended to give her a step. Therefore, why didn’t she respond him?

”Thank you for your kind notification, Your Highness. I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Highness.” Bai Aoxue respectfully answered Jun Wuhen.

Jun Wuhen didn’t say too much when he found Bai Aoxue behave so appropriately. Instead, he turned to look at Liu Manyun.

”My dear, why are you so abnormal today. Do you think it is right to request Aoxue to do things unreasonably?” Jun Wuhen glared at Liu Manyun. Everyone could notice his warning in his words.

”Please don’t get angry. I think that Your Majesty and Your Highness would like poetry and songs to accompany under this circumstance.” Liu Manyun looked at Jun Wuhen aggrievedly.

If it were in the past, perhaps Jun Wuhen would be softhearted. But today's Jun Wuhen has set a perfect trap waiting for Liu Manyun to jump in, while Liu Manyun didn’t know it.

And how could Jun Wuhen let Liu Manyun pass so easily.

”You thought? It seems that you know me too well and even could speculate my mind. Isn’t it, my dear?” Jun Wuhen said dismally.

Liu Manyun was shocked after hearing Jun Wuhen’s words. Her expression revealed her fear.

”I’m frightened. I didn’t try to speculate your mind, Your Majesty. This time, I’m self-righteous and I won’t do it again.” Liu Manyun plopped to the ground and swore.

Bai Aoxue looked at Liu Manyun's quick kneeling. She thought that this woman was probably scared by Jun Wuhen. How painful her knees would be since she knelt so fast?

The worst thing in ancient times was that as long as you see emperors, you needed to kneel. How painful the knees would be?

What a lovely 21st century!

Jun Wuhen knew that Liu Manyun was really frightened this time. Maybe she would really hate Bai Aoxue. So, he stopped scaring her.

”My love, please stand up. I just mention it a little bit. It seems you’re frightened, my love.” Jun Wuhen held a smile at the corners of his mouth and looked at Liu Manyun.

After listening to Jun Wuhen’s words, Liu Manyun glanced at his expression. She didn’t stand up trembling until she made sure that he was really not joking.

”Look at your frightened face. I am really wrong.” Jun Wuhen held Liu Manyun in his arm.

And Liu Manyun also took advantage of the tendency and reclined into the embrace of Jun Wuhen.

”Your majesty, I know I was wrong. I dare not to cross the line anymore.” Liu Manyun said sweetly.

Liu Manyun did not know why Jun Wuhen would change his attitude towards her after the appearance of Bai Aoxue. Was it because she can’t compare with her, so he changed his mind?

Thinking about this, Liu Manyun looked at Bai Aoxue with a dangerous sight, and hated her even more.

How could Bai Aoxue not understand Liu Manyun’s sight, but she knew that Jun Wuhen has reached his aim.

Liu Manyun thought that no one has seen her dangerous look. On the contrary, all those present saw it clearly.

Jun Wuhen felt satisfied since his intention has achieved. Now he only waited for Bai Aoxue to surrender and became his slave.

Jun Yeyan looked at Liu Manyun, emitting murderous intent.

Bai Aoxue didn't know the idea of Jun Yeyan, but she knew her next move.

”Well, it’s getting late. I assume that royal brother and Aoxue should stay here tonight and go back in the morning.” Jun Wuhen was hit upon an idea.

Bai Aoxue just wanted to reject Jun Wuhen, while he didn’t leave her a chance.

”I will let someone to inform Prime Minister Bai. Royal brother, you could still stay in the small courtyard of yours. I have been kept it for you.” Jun Wuhen indeed did not want to be rejected by Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue knew that she can't go back, so she agreed.

”Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Obedient is better than respectful.” Bai Aoxue slightly saluted.

”Since princess chooses to stay, I will also stay. I have not been to that courtyard for a long time.” Jun Yeyan echoed Bai Aoxue.

”Haha, it's so good! I’ll let Yan Zhao go to prepare.” Jun Wuhen was joyful.

Eunuch Zhao, who has been waiting outside the door, heard Jun Wuhen call his name and immediately came in respectfully.

”Your Majesty, what is the command?” Eunuch Zhao asked while stooped.

”Sent someone out of the palace to inform Prime Minister Bai that Aoxue would stay in the palace tonight, and she will return to home tomorrow. By the way, prepare Moyu Hall for Aoxue.” Jun Wuhen said slightly, while he didn’t know that all listeners have already been stunned.

”Your Majesty... Moyu Hall...” Eunuch Zhao questioned hesitantly, fearing that he had got it wrong.

Jun Wuhen noticed Eunuch Zhao’s hesitation, and he said with anger: ”How is it? Do you have any doubts about my arrangement?”

When Eunuch Zhao heard the words of Jun Wuhen, he was shocked and immediately said: ”I dare not. Please rest assured. I’ll go prepare immediately. ”

”Then just go!” Jun Wuhen got angry.

Bai Aoxue didn't know why Jun Wuhen let her live in Moyu Hall and why Eunuch Zhao and Liu Manyun would have such big reactions.

But she only felt that it was not a good thing.

”Your Majesty, allow Aoxue to be so bold as to ask this, is there any special about Moyu Hall?” Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Wuhen in confusion.

After listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, Jun Wuhen said carelessly: “Moyu Hall… it’s just an individual yard. Don’t need to pay special attention.”

Bai Aoxue knew that Moyu Hall was not as simple as Jun Wuhen said. But since Jun Wuhen did not want to say more, Bai Aoxue wouldn’t question closely. Anyway, she would know sooner or later.
