Long Live the Empress

Chapter 155 Heartless

As soon as I walked out of the city gate, I saw Rong Cheng waiting on the roadside in a wenge wood carriage.

Yue Jinghao's forehead was covered with black lines. This Rong Cheng is really stupid... naive! How can you travel far away in such an expensive carriage? Isn't this just telling those robbers and thieves: Come and rob me?

"Miss Yue, you're here!" Rong Cheng jumped off the carriage excitedly. This was his first time traveling far away alone!

Yue Jinghao pointed at Rong Cheng's carriage and said, "Prince Rong, this carriage is really ostentatious. Why don't we change it?"

Rong Cheng looked back and said, "I wanted to have a comfortable ride when I was going on a long journey, so I chose this one!"

"If Prince Rong doesn't want to be robbed as soon as he leaves the capital, then he should change his car!" Yue Jinghao looked at Rong Cheng with a slight smile.

Yue Jinghao was clearly smiling, but Rong Cheng could read something that could not be refused from Yue Jinghao's eyes.

"Isn't it too late to change now? How about we take a carriage?" Rong Cheng asked tentatively. He didn't mind, but Yue Jinghao probably wouldn't agree with her personality.

"Come on up!" Rong Cheng was still thinking about how to persuade Yue Jinghao to let them ride in the same carriage, but he didn't expect Yue Jinghao to agree so immediately.

Rong Cheng happily ordered his servants to put the luggage on Yue Jinghao's carriage. Just as Rong Cheng was about to get on the carriage, he saw a dark carriage slowly stop in front of him.

"Greetings, Prince Rong!" The person on the carriage saluted first.

Rong Cheng was wondering who the visitor was when he heard Manju greet the visitor happily, "Brother Wang, why are you here?"

That's right, the person who came was Wang Yi! Wang Yi nodded to Agate without saying anything.

Rong Cheng then realized that it was the guard of Qiansui Mansion! Before Rong Cheng could ask any questions, he heard a cold voice from the carriage, "Come over now!"

The Ninth Prince is here too? Although Rong Cheng is a royal relative, he doesn't deal with court affairs, so he is not out of touch with Yan Liyuan. When Rong Cheng heard this, he subconsciously wanted to go over, but he didn't expect Yue Jinghao to go over first.

Rong Cheng stared at Yue Jinghao as she got on Yan Liyuan's carriage. Rong Cheng wanted to get on too, but was stopped by Wang Yi, "Don't worry, Prince Rong. The governor and Miss Yue are our own people!"

Wang Yi said the last three words "one of our own" in a emphasized tone. He wanted Rong Cheng to understand that Yue Jinghao was not someone he could desire.

Rong Cheng was shocked by these words. He never expected that Yue Jinghao actually knew Yan Liyuan, and that they had a close relationship...

As soon as Yue Jinghao got on the carriage, it started moving.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Yue Jinghao sat down and bowed to Yan Liyuan.

Yan Liyuan was resting with his eyes closed, and after a long while he snorted through his nose.

"I wonder what instructions the Ninth Thousand Year Old Master has for you?"

Yan Liyuan didn't say anything, but just opened his eyes slightly and looked at Yue Jinghao.

Yue Jinghao thought there was something on her clothes, so she quickly looked down, but there was nothing...

"Miss Yue really doesn't care about her reputation. She actually dares to go out alone with a strange man! Is this what Yue Hanwen taught you?" Yan Liyuan scolded her as soon as he opened his mouth, and pushed all the responsibility onto Yue Hanwen.

Yue Jinghao rolled her eyes in her heart. What does this have to do with Yan Liyuan? "Isn't the Ninth Prince busy with government affairs? How can you have time to scold my daughter?"

"I have to go to the South China Sea for something. Where is Miss Yue?"

Yue Jinghao is not a three-year-old child. It would be strange if she believed Yan Liyuan's lies! What could she do with Yan Liyuan? She could only laugh and said, "What a coincidence? My daughter is also like that!"

"It's quite a coincidence!" Yan Liyuan sat up straight and adjusted his clothes elegantly... "Also, I happened to protect Miss Yue's reputation. How should Miss Yue thank me?"

Yan Liyuan is still the same Yan Liyuan, eloquent and good at argument! Yue Jinghao forced a smile, "When we get to the South Sea, I will buy a sachet for Jiu Qiansui, how about that?"

Yan Liyuan raised his eyebrows, "It's a deal!"

Yue Jinghao gave him an extremely ugly smile in return, but she cursed Yan Liyuan in her heart. He wanted a reward before he did anything. This man was simply... Humph! She endured it!

Soon, Yan Liyuan took out a thick stack of documents and started reading them.

It's not to mention that although Yan Liyuan has a vicious mouth and a black heart, his face is really good! On the boring road, being able to see such a beautiful face is also a kind of compensation for Yue Jinghao!

As she watched, Yue Jinghao fell asleep. Yan Liyuan gently placed Yue Jinghao on his lap and covered her with a thick quilt...

Yue Jinghao fell asleep heartlessly, but Rong Cheng was not feeling well. He sat in Yue Jinghao's carriage, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Xiao Linzi brought a cup of tea, "Master, have a drink of tea!"

Rong Cheng waved his hand, "No!"

Xiao Linzi quickly brought a plate of cakes, "Master, have some cakes!"

"No, no! Take it away!" Rong Cheng said impatiently, and looked at Agate who was sitting in the corner, "Aren't you worried about your young lady?"

Manju looked at Rong Cheng in confusion. Why should she worry about her young lady? Her young lady is now with Jiu Qiansui, surrounded by secret guards, and is very safe! So Manju shook her head, "I am not worried!"

"You..." Rong Cheng wanted to scold Manju, but he couldn't open his mouth. After all, she was Yue Jinghao's servant. What was the point of scolding her so hastily? "What I mean is, aren't you afraid that your young lady will accidentally anger Jiu Qiansui, and then Jiu Qiansui will..." As he said that, Rong Cheng made a gesture of wiping his neck. He heard that Jiu Qiansui was moody and murderous. With Yue Jinghao's little appearance, Jiu Qiansui could kill her with just a pinch of his fingers!

Manju laughed even more happily, "Prince Rong, don't worry, the Ninth Thousand Years Old will not kill the young lady! Don't worry!"

Rong Cheng was so angry that he lay down in the carriage with his back turned and stopped talking.
