Chapter 2016: The Wolf King 11

“Emperor, I’ll take my leave now. I believe that Qing’er will return safely.”

The empress smiled.

historical

“Alright, you can go now.”

The emperor waved his hand expressionlessly.

The empress turned around and left.

However, just as she stepped out of the imperial study room, a palace servant hurriedly came up to her and reported respectfully, “Empress, the prince has returned.”

‘What?’

The empress’s face changed dramatically; a cold light flashed in her eyes as she said coldly, “Did you just say that he has returned?”

‘Impossible! The wolf king is so powerful. He can’t have returned safely...’

“The prince has returned and brought a girl back. She has now entered the prince’s residence. They will probably come to meet the emperor later.”

The palace servant lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the empress.

The empress smiled coldly. “He brought a girl back?”

“Empress, according to the report, the prince seems to like that girl. He had arranged for her to stay at his place before coming to the palace, so he must have feelings for her.”

“That’s good.”

This time, she failed to kill Murong Qing in the savage land, but there were always other opportunities.

She would never let him ruin her plan.

“Let’s go. I want to see what kind of girl can make Murong Qing fall in love and bring her back here...”

She lowered her gaze, hiding the dark light in her eyes.

***

The prince’s residence was located in a quiet street, far from the busy city.

Murong Qing left the palace after the former empress passed away. He felt that the palace’s environment was not very suitable for him to recuperate, and the emperor had allowed him to leave the palace.

Murong Qing chose this place on his own.

It was quiet, and no one would disturb him.

Moreover, Murong Qing’s health had not improved in these few years. The emperor and the current empress did not allow him to interact with other people, so he had no friends.

The emperor did not allow people to disturb him for his health.

As for the empress...

No one knew what her real purpose was...

“Wolfie...”

The little girl held her cheeks with her hands; she blinked and gazed at the beautiful wolf king in front of her. Her smile was as bright as the sunshine, and it instantly shone into its heart.

“Are you really going to be here with me?”

“Mhm.”

The wolf king nodded slightly, its voice low.

The little girl smiled. “I’ll tell you a secret. My father doesn’t want me anymore. I can’t go back home. Otherwise, I would not have followed Murong Qing to this place. My father abandoned me too quickly, and I did not gt to prepare some money. So I can only stay in here for now. When my mother knows where I am, she will come to bring me home.”

Ah Bao, who was lying next to the little girl, huffed.

‘Little Princess is staying here because of Murong Qing’s conditions.

‘He has taken Little Princess out of the savage land and brought her here. Therefore, Little Princess can’t just leave without repaying his kindness.

‘However, State Preceptor did not want Little Princess anymore... So, she has nowhere to go.

‘State Preceptor said that Little Princess is not allowed to set foot in Liu Yun Kingdom.

‘So, she could only wait for Eldest Princess to come and take her home...’

“I will stay with you.”

The wolf king squatted on the ground.

Even its lying-down movement was so elegant and beautiful it was difficult to look away.

Nan Chiyou looked at the wolf king and then turned to Ah Bao, who looked like a pug, and suddenly she felt like Ah Bao was a little ugly compared to the wolf king...
