TVSWWD - Chapter 23 - Emperor Uncle

 "Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

The eunuch said and waved quickly. It turned out that he had a palanquin behind him. It seemed that he was waiting for her here especially.

Thinking about it, it was her uncle, the Emperor, her iron backer, who must have wanted to meet her in advance and have a chat with her.

"Uncle wants to see me?"

Murong Yun thought so and asked.

"That's right. His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Please go quickly, Princess."

As the eunuch spoke, he quickly gestured to Xiao Cui to help Murong Yun onto the palanquin.

The only person in the world who could make the Emperor of South Chu wait patiently was Princess Yunhua.

Moreover, living outside the palace, but being able to walk freely into the palace and owning her own palanquin, shows the Emperor's favor.

"...Then go ahead."

Murong Yun had a smile on her face, but her heart was filled with confusion. She was half an impostor now, so she might slip up later.

This is an Emperor, the kind you see in TV dramas, the kind who is suspicious and has ulterior motives...

Recalling a biography of someone she had read over the years, Murong Yun inevitably became nervous and swallowed subconsciously.

"Is the princess thirsty? Someone, bring some tea."

The eunuch saw Murong Yun's movements with sharp eyes and quickly called to a young eunuch to bring tea.

"No need, uncle is still waiting..."

Murong Yun was a little flattered. The Emperor was waiting, and she was a little uncomfortable to drink tea.

"No matter how anxious you are, we can't wrong the princess. This is something your Majesty has mentioned. If the princess becomes thirsty or hungry, it will be the fault of the servants."

The eunuch looked as if the sky was about to fall, and the little eunuch quickly took out the food box he had brought with him...

As soon as these words came out, Murong Yun once again refreshed her view of the value of the original owner to the Emperor. She knew that she was favored, but this was too exaggerated.

So, the palanquin was carefully put down, and Murong Yun didn't even feel the vibration. The next second, the tea cup with tea leaves still floating at the right temperature was respectfully presented to her.

 Murong Yun swallowed her saliva again, she was really a little thirsty...

Just as she was holding the tea and preparing to take a sip, she glanced at a group of pretty girls in the distance from the corner of her eye.

All of them were dressed in layers of pure white gauze clothes, and they were as beautiful as fairies in the sky.

However, among the group of fairies, a familiar and beautiful face turned around and she was immediately choked by a sip of tea.

"Cough cough cough."

Murong Yun's nose felt sour and she almost shed tears after coughing. When she finally swallowed it and looked again, the group of fairy ladies had already gone away.

"County Princess, are you okay?"

With a distressed look on her face, Xiao Cui took a handkerchief and gently wiped the tea from the corners of her princess's lips, sighing in her heart.

The princess is so old, but she is still confused when doing things. What would she do without her Xiao Cui?

"This princess is fine..." Only, it's weird!

Murong Yun was almost numb as she continued to be carried to see the emperor.

It's not that she's afraid of seeing Baili Shuangxue, it's just that when she sees her, nothing good seems to happen...

And at this point, how could she come to the palace? There is no such scene in the plot line.

Just now, she thought it was difficult to meet the emperor, but now that she met Baili Shuangxue, she no longer felt that the emperor was scary.

Sure enough, if you compare your unlucky situation, you will find that... you can be even more unlucky.

"County Princess, please."

The palanquin finally reached the end. Murong Yun tried hard to pick up her acting skills, imitating the appearance in the memory of the original owner, and nodded proudly to the little eunuchs who were kneeling and saluting all around.

"Get up."

Walking through the corridor, Murong Yun's acting skills perfectly reproduced the expression of the original owner.

Until ......

In front of the hall, a pure white and slender figure got closer and closer, gradually enlarging in size.

That unparalleled temperament, that infuriating beauty that day, those unmistakable gray-blue eyes...

"It's Heir Li."

The eunuch who led the way was not surprised and said: "Your Majesty also treats the Heir well. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, he will be summoned to come and express his opinions."

After hearing this, Murong Yun just wanted to roll her eyes, treat a fart well, and treat himself as a fart.

She is a woman with a script.

Mid-Autumn Festival...that was Li Su's highlight. His father died at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet ten years ago.

This kind of happy day to others is the anniversary of his father's death.

Moreover, Li Su was supposed to inherit the title of King Yong'an from his father ten years ago but was suppressed by the emperor to the point where he is still an heir apparent at the age of seventeen...

There is no power or glory at all, and he still has to be a hostage in Liu Jing to prevent the Yanzhou army from causing chaos. In order to hide his strength and bide his time, he does not even reveal his talent easily.

Her Emperor Uncle really jumped back and forth on the death line. No wonder even the dragon throne was robbed in the end......

When Murong Yun thought of this, she felt that life was even more difficult. She even panicked a little when she saw Li Su getting closer and closer.

How can she not panic? The person's surroundings are almost frozen, and there is even a bit of anger hidden between his brows and eyes.

"Heir Li."

When the eunuch and Xiao Cui saw the person approaching, they both saluted consciously. Murong Yun was of the same rank as the other person, so there was no need to salute.

"Hmm."

Li Su nodded slightly and uttered a single word in a pleasant voice. The anger between his brows was completely sealed, and he returned to his usual calm and otherworldly appearance.

Only Murong Yun knew how strong the hatred was beneath the seemingly calm appearance.

This hatred will subvert the entire Murong royal family.

After years of forbearance, Li Su no longer expressed his unwillingness and hatred like he did when he was young.

For ten years, he had long been accustomed to the emperor's hypocritical appeasement every year, just because he was afraid that he would run back to Yanzhou and start a rebellion.

But he won't. There is no place where it is easier to overthrow a dynasty than staying in Liu Jing...

If his heartstrings had been touched by Murong Yun's outrageous behavior before, the emperor's unshakable spurs calmed him down.

Thinking of her intentions, the chill in Li Su's eyes became even worse. When he passed by Murong Yun, she even shivered unconsciously.

Terrible, these two words were the only words left in Murong Yun's mind.

She walked into the hall absentmindedly.

"Ayun hasn't come to see Uncle for a long time."

Emperor Murong Xia of South Chu looked at his niece who walked in with a lost look on her face. Not only was he not angry, he even laughed and joked:

"Only you, a naughty person, dare to get distracted here."

The emperor's friendly voice made Murong Yun feel friendly subconsciously, and the fear she had imagined disappeared the moment she saw the other person.

"Isn't Ayun here?"

Murong Yun answered subconsciously, with an unconscious coquettishness in her voice.

Could it be that the memory of the original owner was causing trouble?

Murong Yun didn't expect that she didn't feel any discomfort at all, and judging from the situation, the emperor didn't feel anything was wrong.

It's just, so weird.

"Whether you're health is good or not. Sit down quickly. Girls have delicate bodies and cannot be tired."
