Chapter 2015: The Wolf King 10

Yun Qing Kingdom.

It was a small kingdom with very little interaction with the outside world.

At this moment, within the imperial palace of Yun Qing Kingdom, a beautiful woman with a light yellow dress walked to the imperial garden smilingly.

“How long has Murong Qing been away?”

“Empress, it has been almost half a month.”

‘Half a month...’

The empress lowered her gaze; a cold light flashed in her eyes.

However, this cold light disappeared quickly, and then a smile was plastered upon that noble face again.

“He should have been back by now. I don’t know if something has happened to him out there...” The empress smiled faintly. “Let’s go. I have to see the emperor.”

Mu Rongqing was like a thorn in her heart. She had to endure the pain if she did not pull it out...

***

Inside the imperial study room...

A middle-aged man in a dragon robe sat on a throne. His face was cold as he read through a memo in his hand.

Just at this moment, a eunuch’s voice was heard from outside the room. “Emperor, the empress requests to see you.”

Hearing that the empress was there, Mu Rongyang frowned and said, “Let her in.”

The guard pushed open the door.

Murong Yang looked up at the woman who had just entered through the door. His face remained expressionless; no one could read any emotion from it.

“Empress, is there something wrong?”

The empress pursed her lips and smiled faintly. “Emperor, Qing’er has been gone for such a long time now and has not returned yet. I’m worried... Should I send out a search team to look for Qing’er?”

Murong Yang replied indifferently, “The people I sent to follow Qing’er are all the skilled masters. General Lin also brought troops to protect him, so there is no need for you to go there yourself.”

If he allowed her to go and something were to happen to her... Those people would have to protect her, and this meant less manpower to keep Qing’er safe.

Moreover, he believed in General Lin’s capabilities.

“Emperor...” The empress smiled bitterly. “Before my sister died, I promised her that I would take good care of Qing’er. I am now Qing’er’s mother and her great aunt. How can I just sit back and do nothing? If it weren’t for Qing’er’s health, fearing that he wouldn’t last long, and State Preceptor said that he must go on his own to get Flower King... I would never have allowed him to go to that savage land.”

When Murong Yang heard this from the empress, his expression softened slightly, but his eyes remained emotionless.

“I understand your feelings. Qing’er is a good man. I believe that he will be fine and will return safely.”

The empress smirked.

‘The one guarding Flower King is the strong and fierce wolf king. Perhaps... Murong Qing will not come back this time.

‘And don’t blame me for this...’

Back then, she fell in love with the emperor, but he wanted to marry Feng Ying, who had passed away early. Fortunately, she and Feng Ying were good friends.

Therefore, before Feng Ying passed away, she had asked the emperor to marry her as his new queen to protect her son.

However, Feng Ying did not know that she had long been jealous of her.

She was so in love with Murong Yang. How could she allow a son who was not her blood and flesh to remain in the world?

Therefore, she had asked State Preceptor to trick Mu Rongqing into going to the savage land, and now, he must have been eaten by the wolf.

This time, she had come to the emperor just to show her fake concern. She already knew that the emperor would never allow her to go to Mu Rongqing.

Even if he did agree, she would only go there to bring back his son’s dead body...
