Looking at Yun Xuezhi, who had her eyes closed in his arms, Murong Xuanyu's gaze softened as he reached out to tidy up her clothes.
This subtle movement naturally didn't escape Murong Chuyan's eyes. He looked at Yun Xuezhi unwillingly and forced a smile," Why is Fourth Brother in the mood to enter the palace today?"”
" My father asked me to come…" Murong Xuanyu frowned." I didn't want to ask about the Crown Prince's affairs, but it's too much to treat a weak woman like this!"”
Murong Chuyan's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, but on the surface, he patted Murong Xuanyu's shoulder with a worried expression.
"Fourth brother, you might not know this, but ever since Ling Long died, many people in the Eastern Region suddenly called themselves disciples of the Wan Xiang Sect. You know, the Wan Xiang Sect is very important to the Eastern Region. Even if it no longer exists, no one is allowed to cheat people!”
Murong Xuanyu was slightly stunned. He looked at Yun Xuezhi in his arms and lowered his head without saying a word.
"Your Highness, you don't know, but this Young Lady of the Yun Residence is very unruly. She actually dares to call the Crown Prince by his name! I just couldn't stand it and wanted to teach her a lesson!”Liu Sanpao came forward and quickly defended Murong Chuyan.
Murong Xuanyu's face darkened and he said coldly,""Is that enough of a lesson?"
Liu Sanpao didn't dare to answer and could only look at Murong Chuyan for help.
Murong Chuyan didn't eliminate his doubts, so he naturally wouldn't be satisfied. Although he wanted to rope in his fourth brother, after all, finding Yu Linglong was the most important.
"Fourth brother, since I've already set the rules, no matter who it is, they must act according to my orders!”Murong Chuyan still looked kind on the surface, but there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
Yun Xuezhi's heart was beating extremely fast. Murong Chuyan was pressing on step by step without showing any mercy. It seemed that she was really doomed today!
Forget it, dying in the arms of a good person was much better than dying of humiliation…
Yun Xuezhi sighed in her heart. She gathered her spirit and prepared to cast an incantation.
Murong Xuanyu frowned slightly. Although he didn't like this brother of his, he was still the Crown Prince of the Eastern Region State. He had to give him some face.
Looking down at Yun Xuezhi, Murong Xuanyu's mood was strangely complicated.
When he first saw her, the stubborn and unyielding look in her eyes when she faced criticism always reminded him of another person, another woman who made him dream about her but had no chance to see her again...
This woman had a strong personality. If she was really stripped naked in front of everyone, she might do something stupid…
Murong Xuanyu's heart ached when he thought of this. If he had taken the initiative to fight for it back then, perhaps things would not have ended up like this.
He didn't want to experience such pain and regret a second time. Since they were so fated, he might as well help her to the end!
With this thought in mind, Murong Xuanyu no longer hesitated. He looked up at Murong Chuyan and hugged Yun Xuezhi even tighter.
"Crown Prince, Miss Xuezhi is my little brother's sweetheart. Soon, she will officially marry into the Xuan King Mansion and become the Eastern Region Country's Princess Consort and the Crown Prince's sister-in-law. So, can you give me some face and let me take her away?”
Murong Xuanyu's gaze was calm. Although his tone was light, every word was powerful.
Murong Chuyan was stunned. He never thought that Murong Xuanyu would come up with such a reason!
"Why haven't I heard you mention it before? The Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs didn't receive any instructions either!" Murong Chuyan forced a smile.
Murong Xuanyu sighed and looked at Yun Xuezhi with tender eyes. He said softly,"" My younger brother had an agreement with Miss Xuezhi. After my younger brother has repaired the mansion, I will go to the Yun Mansion to propose marriage. Therefore, my younger brother has delayed reporting this matter to the Ministry of Official Personnel…I didn't expect Miss Xuezhi to meet the Crown Prince in such a way today. My younger brother can't hide it anymore, otherwise…"
Murong Xuanyu sighed heavily and looked at Yun Xuezhi with a sad expression." It's all my brother's fault that Miss Xuezhi has suffered such humiliation!"”
Although the situation was very critical, Murong Xuanyu's exaggerated performance still made Yun Xuezhi laugh.
Murong Chuyan's eyes flashed with a trace of anger. He had spent a lot of effort and finally had a lead. However, he did not expect that he would be stopped by Murong Xuanyu at this critical juncture!
Looking at Yun Xuezhi's extremely unfamiliar face, Murong Chuyan clenched his fists tightly. Then, his gaze moved to her chest. He really wanted to go forward and tear her clothes into pieces.
However, he couldn't.
At this moment, Murong Xuanyu had already made it clear that this woman would become a member of the royal family. If he continued to insist on his own way and forcefully stripped her, it would definitely attract criticism. If anyone in the court were to accuse him again, even the Emperor would not be able to protect him. Moreover, there were some forces behind Murong Xuanyu that could not be underestimated...
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Murong Chuyan forced out a smile," Fourth Brother, you must be joking! Just now, this young lady unreasonably contradicted me and I felt that I had lost face, so I wanted to teach her a small lesson…Since Fourth Brother is pleading for her, then I will let bygones be bygones!”
"Thank you, Crown Prince!" Murong Xuanyu smiled indifferently." This girl is just a little stubborn. I will teach her well and bring her to the Crown Prince's residence to apologize another day!"”
"Fourth Brother, you're too kind!" Murong Xuanyu smiled and patted Murong Xuanyu's shoulder." Fourth brother, please reconsider what I said before!”
Yun Xuezhi's heart skipped a beat as she recalled the scene she had seen in the Crown Prince's residence that day. Doubt rose in her heart.
Murong Xuanyu was only a prince, so why would Murong Chuyan tolerate him time and time again? Could it be that Murong Xuanyu had something on him?
"Then I'll take my leave first!" Murong Xuanyu nodded slightly, picked up Yun Xuezhi, and strode out of the palace.
The smile on Murong Chuyan's face gradually disappeared. Looking at Murong Xuanyu's back, his eyes became gloomier.
"Your Highness, are you going to let that girl off just like that?”Seeing the cooked duck fly away like this, Liu Sanpao was naturally unwilling.
"Shut up! She was the fiancée of the Fourth Prince, and she was not allowed to mention this matter again!”Murong Chuyan lowered his voice and glared at him.
Liu Sanpao was so scared that his whole body trembled and he quickly covered his mouth.
" Yun Xuezhi..." Murong Chuyan muttered this name, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth," We will meet again!”
Feeling that she was retreating in a safe direction, Yun Xuezhi heaved a sigh of relief. Her long eyelashes moved slightly.
Murong Xuanyu stopped and asked gently,""You're awake?"
Yun Xuezhi opened her eyes and nodded gently."Put me down!"
Murong Xuanyu bowed and gently put her down.
The moment he stood up, his side profile brushed past the tip of Yun Xuezhi's nose.
Yun Xuezhi's heart tightened. For some reason, two red clouds slowly appeared on her pretty face.
" Four..." She had just opened her mouth to speak when she felt the sky spinning and her body weak. Before she could finish her sentence, she really felt dizzy!
Murong Xuanyu was quick to react when he saw her fall to the ground. He immediately grabbed her arm, turned around, and pulled her into his arms.
At this moment, Murong Xuanyu realized that there were large burn marks on Xue Zhi's fair arm. He frowned slightly.
What exactly did this woman suffer in the Residence of Yun?
He was a little curious and surprised to find that his heart ached slightly.
Murong Xuanyu shook his head with a bitter smile. Perhaps this was fate! It was good that he married her. In any case, he would never be moved by anyone else in this life…
By the time Murong Xuanyu left the palace, the sedan chair from the Residence of Yun had already left.
After pondering for a moment, Murong Xuanyu carried Yun Xuezhi into the carriage and ordered in a low voice,""Return to the Xuan Imperial Residence!"
The coachman nodded. With a flick of his whip, the two horses neighed as they galloped towards the direction of the Manor of Xuan.
By the time Yun Xuezhi woke up, it was already getting late and the candles in the room had been lit up.
Fortunately, she had been here before, so Yun Xuezhi did not panic. She straightened her clothes and got up to open the door. She saw Murong Xuanyu standing outside the door, looking up at the flickering starlight, as if he was thinking about something.
Yun Xuezhi cleared her throat and walked to Murong Xuanyu's side. She bowed slightly." Thank you for saving me, Fourth Prince!" In the future, he would definitely repay wangye's kindness double!”
Murong Xuanyu seemed to be shocked. When he turned around and saw that it was her, his eyes dimmed as if he was disappointed.
"You've said these words before!”He smiled and said lightly.
Yun Xuezhi raised her eyebrows and smiled." I owe you a lot of favors!”
"I don't need you to repay me!" Murong Xuanyu shook his head lightly.
"But I don't like owing others!”Yun Xuezhi raised her head, her eyes very clear.
Murong Xuanyu sighed helplessly." You're really stubborn…That's why the people of the Residence of Yun don't like you!"”
Hearing this, Yun Xuezhi pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and said unhappily,"This is my family matter, so there's no need to trouble your highness!”
Murong Xuanyu was stunned. He looked up at the starry sky and murmured,""You're my unmarried wife. How can I ignore you?”
His words sounded like he was bickering, but his expression was still indifferent.
Yun Xuezhi was at a loss for words. She looked up at Murong Xuanyu and saw that he was absent-minded. She could only follow his gaze.
"Polaris!" She suddenly cried out in surprise.
The vast night was like a huge black cloth, covering the city tightly. In a corner of the sky, there was a star that was shining with an extremely persistent light.
This was the emblem of the Wan Xiang Sect, and also the source of her spiritual energy when she practiced her incantations.
Whether it was refining curses or meditating, whenever she felt tired, she would always wait until the North Star rose and stare blankly at it for a long time.
She had always maintained this habit. After her rebirth in despair, she had almost forgotten about it…
"You know about the North Star?" Murong Xuanyu looked at Yun Xuezhi in surprise.
