Chapter 1264 “The Queen Ran Away Again! (4)”
Even though Mu Ying promised her not to say anything, but Yu Yao has never been one to trust others so easily. She must go confirm it’s the case in order to be reassured and telling her youngest daughter would do nothing but make trouble.
……
Demon City.
Inside the newly constructed palace, Di Cang was searching high and low for the two people he wanted to find. Sadly, despite his efforts, he couldn’t find a single trace of their being in the courtyards or rooms.
Going slightly white in the face, he makes a grab for the nearest demon soldier: “Where’s the queen and prince?”
Startled and unable to process the question, the poor guard had to take a good moment to answer: “The queen and prince said they wanted to go out for a walk because they felt stuffy inside. They haven’t return yet….”
They haven’t return yet?
The man’s face instantly changed into an ugly shade. Hurrying to close his eyes in order to sense for his wife’s presence, the demon king didn’t wait another second before his body disappeared in a gush of wind for the outside.
…….
Not long after the king’s departure, First Elder also returns from his trip of recruiting the ten maids for the princess. But when he saw the trembling appearance of the palace guards around himself, he couldn’t help but wonder: “Why are you all acting so nervous for?”
Literally squirming from discomfort, the guard in question cried and wept as he spoke: “The queen and prince ran away from home again, we didn’t stop her and now the king…. He’s very angry.”
Sure enough, the elder’s face went stiff like a rock. Bursting with anger as well, he stomped over and grabbed the person by the collar and yelled from the top of his lung: “You useless things! Don’t you know the queen is pregnant? You actually let her go out on her own? What if something happens to the prince and queen! Do you want us all to die!”
The impending fate of that future left all the guards within earshot of his outburst crumbling to the floor. They didn’t dare to move, nor did they dare to ask for mercy because it would only make things worse.
Frustrated, First Elder didn’t want to waste time on unimportant matters now: “You two go arrange the living quarters for these maids. I’m going to go handle this issue first because you useless idiots can’t do a simple job of looking after the royal family!”
“Ye-Yes, Elder.” The leading palace guard complies and hanged his head in depression.
Not a moment too late after the elder’s departure, the leopard ladies were brought over by another attendant charged with their guidance. But when Mu Xue saw the moot appearances of these soldiers, the greedy girl couldn’t resist coming over to ask: “Hey Mr. Guard, is the relationship between your king and queen very bad? Why does she constantly run away from home?”
Frowning at the annoyance: “Our king and queen’s relationship have always been good. You don’t need to fret about it.”
Despite those words and the constant tugging of her older sister Mu Ying from the side, the little greedy lass didn’t budge and smirked: “Is that so? Why does the queen keep wanting to leave then? I bet its because she got wind of the king wanting to take in a new consort, that’s why she’s left out of anger.”
The king wants to take in a new consort?
The expression of the guard froze over the idea.
No wonder…..
No wonder the queen was anxious to leave today, it must be because the king broke her heart, which made her leave out of spite.
“Mu Xue!” Now openly growing anxious in the face, Mu Ying desperately wanted to put a stop to this before its too late. Lowering her voice into an urgent whisper: “Stop this. This is the Demon City and not the Leopard Clan, no one can protect you here.”
Obvious Mu Xue didn’t agree with that idea and puckered up those lips.?Not like I said anything that’s false, why is she being so pushy?
