Chapter 2027: Chapter 2027 - The Wolf King 22

Murong Qing knew Nan Chiyou very well, but when the emperor saw that only he came alone, his face subconsciously sank, and his voice was filled with displeasure.

“Qing’er, didn’t I ask you to bring that girl? Why are you the only one who came?”

Murong Qing pursed her lips and said, “Father, Maiden Xia Xia is not feeling well, so I didn’t ask her to come. If Father has something to say, you can tell me alone. Why do you have to see Maiden Xia Xia?”

This was the first time that Murong Qing had disobeyed the emperor’s words.

Moreover, it was for a woman.

The emperor was speechless, but his son was facing him; even if he was angry, he could not vent it out.

“I heard that you like that girl, so I want to meet her. I only want to see what kind of girl can make you so fascinated to such an extent.”

Murong Qing froze.

‘How did Father know?

‘Was it General Lin who told him?

‘No... Impossible. General Lin is not someone who would care about this matter. Moreover, there is no way he would tell the emperor these things.

‘Could it be... Aunt?’n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Murong Qing’s face darkened. The feeling of being controlled by someone made him very uncomfortable, and his face sank.

“Father, I don’t know where you heard it from, but Maiden Xia Xia is indeed a good girl. She’s beautiful, kind and... She’s the most gentle girl I’ve ever met.”

If those people from the prince’s manor were here, they would all sneer after hearing Murong Qing’s words.

‘The most gentle girl?

‘Then, you haven’t seen her act like a wolf!

How could such a girl be... gentle?’

“Qing’er, no matter how good that girl is, if you want to take her as your wife, you have to bring her to me.”

Hearing this, Murong Qing was somewhat unhappy. “I do want to marry Maiden Xia Xia, but I know that Maiden Xia Xia does not have me in her heart... Whether she is willing or not is not certain yet.”

Therefore, he could not force Xia Xia to come to the palace even more.

He had already given Xia Xia a bad perception of him because of his words. He desperately wanted to win her heart back. How could he continue to let her misunderstand him?

He had set his heart on her.

The emperor’s gaze sank.

‘She doesn’t like Qing’er?

‘She’s not willing to marry him?

‘But the empress said different things to me.

‘Unless the empress is lying... Or that girl wants to take advantage of Qing’er.

‘After all, Qing’er rarely leaves his manor. He can’t tell who is good and who is bad. The empress has met so many people and lived in the palace for a long time. What she said should not be wrong.

‘At least, the empress knows how to judge people’s personality accurately.’

“You have not married her yet, but you are already speaking for her. I’ll go to your manor when I’m free. I want to see that girl, myself,” the emperor sneered.

He wanted to know what kind of girl could make Murong Qing so fascinated to such an extent.

His son now did not even listen to his words.

The old Murong Qing was never like this.

Murong Qing’s face was tense. “Maiden Xia Xia does not like to meet outsiders. The last time Aunt went there, she made her unhappy. Father, you should not go.”

The emperor’s face darkened as he pointed at Murong Qing angrily. “You...”

However, looking at how similar Murong Qing’s face resembled the late empress and seeing his sickly pale face, the emperor swallowed his anger and sneered, “I think that girl has bewitched you! You’re so close to throwing your family away for her!”
