At this moment, a palace maid of the same age as Li Hui, Biyue, wearing a light green palace dress, walked in with a face full of joy.
"Why are you so happy?" The other palace maid standing beside Li Hui asked.
Since the two of them had been serving Li Hui since she was ten years old, the three of them were as close as sisters. Therefore, when no one was around, they spoke casually.
"Empress Dowager, King Jing has returned."
"Really?" Li Hui put down the clothes in her hands and said happily.
"It's true. I heard that he arrived last night and has already returned to the residence.”Biyue was also happy. Ever since King Jing left for the war, the Empress Dowager had not had a good night's sleep and had been worried.
"That's good, that's good." Li Hui was delighted. This time, she had been feeling uneasy about Little Four's expedition. Now that Little Four was finally back, she could rest assured.
"So Empress Dowager, you don't need to worry anymore. He would be able to see his highness very soon. Soon, this robe could be worn by His Highness.”Biyue consoled.
"Yes." Li Hui gently caressed the clothes in her hand that were about to be completed and replied with a gentle expression.
As night fell, Chen Ke arrived at the Imperial Residence of King Jing in a carriage. The moment they got off the carriage, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Why were there so many unknown and enchanting red flowers outside the main gate of the Imperial Residence of King Jing? The same was true of the walls surrounding the Imperial Residence of King Jing.
" Your Majesty, this…" Jiang Xin and his guards were also stunned.
"Jiang Xin, knock on the door." Chen Ke ordered with a dark face.
At the same time, the guards placed their hands on the hilts of their swords, ready for battle.
When the servant of the King Jing Residence heard the knock on the door, he opened the door. When he saw that it was the Emperor who was about to report, he was stopped by Chen Ke and even asked him to lead the way to the Prince.
After entering the Imperial Residence of King Jing, Chen Ke realized that the flower was clinging to everything inside and blooming wantonly. The entire Imperial Residence of King Jing had become its ocean.
"What's going on?" Jiang Xin asked the servant who opened the door.
The servant secretly glanced at the people around him and nervously swallowed his saliva. After the princess brought back the woman yesterday, the flower climbed into the princess 'carriage and became like this.”
"Where is that woman?" Jiang Xin continued to ask.
"At the residence of His Highness. His Highness is also there now."
"Hurry up and bring us there."
Just as the servant was about to reply, he saw Butler Hongye not far away. Of course, Hongye, who was carrying a tray, also saw Chen Ke and her group and quickly went up to them. He knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Emperor."
"Rise." Chen Ke looked at the surroundings and said in a deep voice," Take me to Xiao Si."”
"Yes." Then, Hongye handed the tray to the servant and brought it back to the kitchen. He brought Chenke to Chenyuan's residence where he had just left.
However, when they arrived at the Sunken Abyss's residence, the flower that was supposed to leave a passage did not react. This made Hong Ye so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.
" Your Majesty, this…" Hongye turned around and saw Chenke with a dark face.
At the same time, in the Sunken Abyss 'residence.
"Your guest seems to be outside. It seems to be the human king, the human king.”Sha Hua looked at Shen Yuan, who was taking care of the princess.
Hearing Sha Hua's strange address, Chen Yuan felt powerless. However, when he heard that his brother had arrived, Chen Yuan immediately stood up.
"Take good care of her." With that, he stood up and left.
Manzhu and Sha Hua immediately sat beside the princess after Shen Yuan left. He finally had a chance to stay by the princess 'side.
Manzhu and Shahua's hearts ached when they saw Princess fall into a deep sleep again after eating.
"Manzhu, is there any news about His Majesty the Underworld King?”Sha Hua raised his head and asked.
"No, I haven't seen a shadow of the Underworld Butterfly.”Manzhu pursed her lips." The princess is so heavily injured, but His Majesty the Nether King has no reaction at all. It's so strange."”
"Yes." Sha Hua agreed.
After all, it was common knowledge in the Three Realms that His Majesty the Nether King doted on his daughter.
"But that human king outside is so annoying. He keeps emitting killing intent.”Manzhu frowned and said impatiently.
If it weren't for the fact that she was the relative of the demon, they wouldn't have stopped Red Spiderlily from attacking the human king. However, it was really strange. As a demon, how could the Sunken Abyss have human relatives? Moreover, he was a human king.
Just as Chenke couldn't take it anymore and was about to return to the palace…Shen Yuan came out of his residence.
"Brother Wang." Chen Yuan happily called out to his elder brother in front of him. Unexpectedly, he saw Chen Ke's terrifying face that was filled with anger. In the study room of the Imperial Residence of King Jing, only Chen Yuan and Chen Ke were sitting there silently. The room was eerily quiet.
After a while, Chen Ke put down the teacup in her hand and looked up at Chen Yuan angrily."What's wrong with that woman?"
"My savior, she saved me twice in this expedition. Furthermore, he was seriously injured and almost died. He was now recuperating in the residence.”
Hearing Chen Yuan's answer, Chen Ke was stunned. He had never thought that the woman was his brother's savior.
However, after a while, Chen Ke still reminded him,"You must be wary of others." Besides, it might be a trick to hurt yourself."
"Brother Wang." Shen Yuan sighed and continued," Impossible. All the soldiers in the army can testify for me. And Xianjun was by his side at that time."
Chenke's expression became complicated. Although she heard that Tuoba Xianjun was present, she still didn't believe it. Who knew if these two guys who grew up together would have colluded to lie to him.
"And Brother Wang, she's not a demon." Seeing the worry on Chen Ke's face, Chen Yuan felt a wave of warmth in his heart. His brother and mother were the only people he cared about in this world. He didn't want them to worry and hoped that they could accept the woman he loved.
Hearing this, Chen Ke paused again and said sarcastically,""Then what's with the flowers outside? If he wasn't a demon, he might not be an immortal in the Heaven Realm.”
"She's from the Underworld. I hope to marry her in the future." Chen Yuan answered Chen Ke's question.
Chen Ke didn't say anything this time, but her heart was in turmoil. She was actually someone from the Netherworld. Moreover, what did his silly younger brother say just now? He wanted to marry her?!
Chen Ke looked up and saw Chen Yuan's determined expression. He sighed helplessly in his heart. It seemed that Shen Yuan had already made up his mind. He could no longer stop him. Every time Chen Yuan made a decision, no matter how others persuaded him, he would not change his mind. She did not know who his stubborn personality was like. It seemed that this was the only way. However, Chen Ke did not consider the possibility of Ming Cheya not marrying Chen Yuan.
"Do as you see fit. Don't forget to go to the palace to see mother.”As she spoke, Chen Ke stepped forward and patted Chen Yuan's shoulder. Her gaze was gentle as she said," It's been hard on you this time.”
Hearing this, the corners of Sunken Abyss's mouth curled up. His brother had promised not to interfere with his and Little Butterfly's matters.
"But find a way to get rid of the flowers in your palace. Otherwise, it would attract the gossip of the entire city.”
"That's Xiao Die's flower. Moreover, it was to protect Xiao Die, so it could not be dealt with.”
Chen Ke felt helpless when she saw the gentleness on Chen Yuan's face when he mentioned the woman. It seemed that his silly younger brother had completely fallen for it.
"Since that's the case, then you'd better take care of yourself. Jiang Xin, return to the palace."
Then, he left the Imperial Residence with his entourage without looking back. Seriously, the younger brother she had raised for so long was actually inferior to a woman she had only known for a few days. It was obvious that Chen Ke, who was obsessed with her brother, was getting angrier and angrier as she thought about it on the way back.
Seeing Chen Ke leave the residence sullenly, Chen Yuan found it funny. Brother Wang really hadn't changed at all. He had been protecting her since she was born, but she had forgotten that he had already grown up and could already take charge.
The days passed slowly, and soon, it was ten days later. In the past few days, Ming Cheya's complexion had clearly improved. The time she spent waking up in a day had also gradually increased. This made the three of them very happy. When Manzhu and Sha Hua found out about the two handmaidens that Shen Yuan had asked Butler Hongye to find, they rejected them sternly.
How could they let others "snatch" the princess from them?
At the same time, the Jade Crown Palace was particularly lively these few days because they all knew that their country had defeated the barbarians this time and won a great victory. They were all prepared to welcome the arrival of Shen Yuan and the others.
Today, the weather was clear and cloudless. Both sides of the street were filled with people. Everyone was cheering and celebrating.
"Wow, King Jing riding a warhorse at the very front is so handsome.”A woman by the roadside cupped her face that was already red with excitement and said.
"Yes, yes." Then, a voice echoed from the side.
"King Jing is already twenty-four years old, but he still hasn't married. I heard that he doesn't even have a concubine.”
"How is that possible? Moreover, King Jing had brought back a woman this time.”Another woman stood out and said mysteriously.
"Really?" Cries of alarm rang out from the roadside.
"It's true, and he's not a mortal.”The woman continued to narrate.
"It can't be, right? How did you know?" The other man also joined in, but he obviously did not believe the woman's words.
This was because everyone in the Xingchen Kingdom knew that King Jing Chenyuan had an innate spirit body. All the demons were drooling over him and wanted to eat him. How could he bring back a woman who wanted to eat him?
"It's true." Seeing that someone did not believe her, the woman said anxiously," My family has a servant in the Prince's mansion. Ever since that woman was brought back by His Highness, the water in the pond in their mansion has turned black. Moreover, an unknown red flower bloomed all over the Imperial Residence. Moreover, the walls and gates outside the Imperial Residence of King Jing are all covered in them. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself.”
