Chapter 102: Brawl

s glazed...""The Kingdom of Jinling, a box of warm jade and emerald, the night pearl of the South China Sea…"The eunuch's sharp voice echoed throughout the entire hall as he listed the gifts from vari...This was the first heavy rain Su Qingying had encountered since arriving here. Su Qingying, dressed in a thin floral mist green gauze skirt with multiple pleats, leaned against the door frame, her hands resting on her cheeks as she watched the ripples dancing on the lake's surface, muttering to herself, "It's really raining heavily. There's nowhere to go, it's so stifling. It was sunny just a moment ago, how did it change so suddenly"

"Princess, this is the first time West Ming has had such a heavy rain. The wind is picking up. Don't stand at the door, please. Quickly put on your cloak and go back inside to warm up." Xi'er took a purple mink fur cloak and nervously draped it over her, afraid she might get sick.

"Hmm." Su Qingying smiled, sitting on the soft cushion and taking the hot tea from Xi'er. A warmth spread through her heart, "Xi'er, I've found you have great potential to be a good wife and mother. In the future, I won't even want to marry you off."

Xi'er pouted and said sweetly, "This servant won't marry anyone. This servant wants to stay by the princess's side for life and serve her."

"Hmph, who was beaming with joy and overflowing with spring blossoms this morning Don't worry, this princess will make sure you have a grand wedding and that no one mistreats you."

"Princess, you're teasing me again. If you continue, I won't pay attention to you." Xi'er's little face was flushed with both shame and anger.

However, her heart was still warm and fuzzy. Thinking about how lucky she was! To have met such a kind and gentle mistress who never treated her like just a maid, and who gave her everything the mistress had herself... How could she not be moved How could she not be grateful

Inside Liuyun Palace, there was a lively atmosphere, while outside, heavy rain obscured the view.

Rong Yue walked swiftly into Liuyun Palace alone, the icy rain soaking his clothes, but he didn't care at all.

Last night, he confirmed his guess. Su Qingying was indeed deeply connected to Yunling! She must know where Yunling is!

"Grand Tutor, please wait." Before reaching Liu Yun Palace, Mo Xuan appeared and stopped him.

"Mo Xuan, get out of the way, I have something to ask her. If you don't move, don't blame me for being impolite!" The usually gentle brows were now filled with a trace of coldness, Rong Yue was radiating an icy aura, completely different from his usual kind and polite demeanor.

"I cannot comply!" Mo Xuan remained motionless, still standing before him.

"Hmph, you don't drink to toast, so you'll have to drink a penalty!" Rong Yue narrowed her eyes, a hint of anger flashing across her face. She engaged in a fight with Mo Xuan under the rain.

Hearing the commotion outside, Su Qingying was just about to go out and take a look when Xi'er rushed in, her pretty face pale with alarm. "Princess, it's bad, it's really bad! Mo Xuan and the Left Minister are fighting in front of Liuyun Palace!"

"The two of them couldn't be more different, how could they possibly fight Come on, let's go see what's going on." Su Qingying's elegant eyebrows furrowed as she spoke, and she walked out. Xi'er quickly fetched the bamboo umbrella to shield her from the rain.

Rongyue and Mo Xuan fought for fifty or so moves. Mo Xuan gradually fell into a disadvantage. With a flash of sword light, Mo Xuan's arm was stained crimson, dripping to the ground and dyeing the rainwater red.

In the blink of an eye, victory and defeat were decided. Rong Yue held her sword to Mo Xuan's throat, but he didn't back down. "I have lost, so I have nothing to say. However, Dongyue's Fifth Princess is someone your master cares about, so please, Prime Minister Zuo, don't forget your own identity!"

Rong Yue's heart skipped a beat, her eyes flashed, and after a long silence, she slowly retracted her sword. Reason ultimately prevailed. "Yue was presumptuous, and today's events have caused much offense!"

"Your Majesty is too kind,"

From afar, Rong Yue cast a glance at Su Qingying who was walking closer and closer. Rong Yue tried her best to suppress the impulse in her heart and said faintly, "There is still something to do at Yuefu, I will take my leave!"

It's not the time to certify her yet, there's plenty of time ahead.

Xi Er held an umbrella and walked over to Su Qingying, but she saw Rong Yue had left. Su Qingying twitched the corners of her mouth, “Eh, why did Rong Yue leave as soon as I arrived What does this mean”

"Oh! You're hurt, you've lost so much blood!" At the sight was Mo Xuan's arm bleeding profusely. Xi'er sprinted to his side, her eyes filled with deep concern, completely forgetting Su Qingying.

Mo XuanHun waved his hand dismissively. "It's just a superficial wound."

"What kind of external injury You're bleeding so much, I'll help you apply medicine." Xi'er rolled her eyes at him, the blood wouldn't stop flowing and she felt pain just looking at it.

Mo Hyun's face twitched, and he nodded.

Su Qingying stood in the rain, her face dark as she watched the two of them showing their affection. The umbrella that had originally been covering her head was completely shifted to Mo Xuan's, leaving her drenched in an instant.

"Hey hey hey, Xi'er, you blind-eyed little traitor! You can't just ditch this princess in the pouring rain for your little lover! My clothes are soaked!"

Only then did Xi'er remember that there was still Su Qingying. She quickly moved the umbrella back, "Your Highness, I'm so sorry, it wasn't intentional!"

"Alright, alright. I understand! All lovestruck women want to get married, I know, I know!" Su Qingying waved her hand dismissively, indicating understanding.

"Princess!" Xier blushed and turned to Mo Xuan, her eyes wide with surprise. "How did you get into a fight with the Left Minister"

"What else could it be He must have been completely smitten by my, how do you say, magnificent personality! My dear, I am a vision of ethereal beauty, unmatched in grace and charm, hahaha!" The young woman, once again, put on a show of arrogance, shamelessly proclaiming her words.

Xi'er :“……”

Mo Xuan: "..."

"Princess, be careful not to show off on a rainy day, you might get struck by lightning," Xi'er wiped the cold sweat from her brow and reminded her kindly. The phrase "showing off gets you struck by lightning" was still taught to her by Su Qingying.

"Boom!" As soon as Xi'er finished speaking, a bolt of lightning from the heavens suddenly struck down, shattering the branches in front of Su Qingying and falling across her path.

"…" Xier was frightened speechless, she really had been struck by lightning!

“Damn it!” Su Qingying’s mouth twitched. Heaven really didn't give her any face, just finished putting on a show and slapped her in the face.

The downpour continued unabated, a steady drizzle that intensified throughout the night.

There were no stars or moon in the sky, it was dark all around.

"Father, how is the Prince" Knowing that Xuan Yuan Che had been kneeling outside the Imperial Study Hall for a whole day, Lan Xin Yao could no longer sit still. She didn't even eat her evening meal and hurried to Blue Bo's side.

“He was still kneeling outside the Imperial Study Hall. It seems that Xuen Yuan Luo Chen is determined not to let Xuen Yuan Che marry you, Humph! I’ll make him get his wish!” Saying this, he wore a disdainful expression, not putting Xuen Yuan Luo Chen in his eyes at all.

To him, Xuen Yuan Luo Chen was just a little punk, no matter how capable he was.

"What! In this heavy rain, the prince is still kneeling outside the palace... No, I have to go see him." Lan Xinyao turned and walked out, she couldn't wait any longer.

Seeing her like this, Lan Bo heavily put down the teacup in his hand and said, “Yao’er! Come back, Xuan Yuan Che’s move is undoubtedly forcing Xuan Yuan Luo Chen to concede. You entering the palace now wouldn't that make him waste all his effort He knelt for so long in vain”

Lan Xinyao's steps faltered at the entrance, her heart aching as she thought of Xuan Yuan Feng suffering because of her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she pleaded, "Father, what should I do How can I just stand here and watch Your Highness kneeling"

"Whether it was pity for his daughter, Lan Bo's tone softened, “Wait, you just need to wait quietly now.”

"But, Father..."ul, unlike any ordinary woman. What surprised everyone was that she looked exactly like Su Qingying!"Your Majesty, Consort Yan has arrived." Little Lu's voice sounded outside the door."Your Majesty, t...
