Chapter 3

During the journey back Murong Qing did not move too much. Apart from eating and sleeping, there was nothing he did. Fan Yuxuan and Luo Zixin looked confused. Likewise with Li Yi and Li Yu.

During the break today, the four couldn't hold it in any longer and went to ask. "Your Highness Prince, why do you seem like you don't want to live?" Li Yu asked spontaneously.

"You don't see that this group has a lot of people and they are enemies. Unlike the four of you, you are at least not my enemies so I don't need to act." Murong Qing said casually. The four of them seemed to understand.

"Li Yi and Li Yu, you guys go back. It's time for you to report to my father." Murong Qing said calmly. "Are you know?" Li Yu asked nervously. Even though Li Yi didn't speak, Murong Qing knew he was also nervous.

"Eunuch Hong, that was your doing, wasn't it? My father liked you both the most and even left you both in his palace. He didn't let you come with me at that time. Being here means something happened in the capital and it concerns me and my mother." Murong Qing said calmly.

"We are leaving now." Li Yi and Li Yu said in unison before leaving. Murong Qing laughed. Both of them are still as adorable as ever. Murong Qing likes his new life. When reading this novel, Murong Qing was really interested in this character and even made the plot of Murong Qing's life only since his life on Hua Mountain.

Murong Qing's life has always been flat and not very interesting anymore. Now that he is Murong Qing, he will create many interesting things for himself.

"Has your master moved to his new residence?" Murong Qing asked looking at Luo Zixin. "Yeah, he already moved." Luo Zixin replied. "What does that mean? You're a spy!" Fan Yuxuan said irritably.

"Yuxuan, calm yourself. He's not a spy, he just has two masters. I'm also the other master. Besides, they've helped us a lot." Murong Qing explained. “But…” Fan Yuxuan was cut off.

"Don't fight. I don't want because of me that you two separate." Murong Qing said smiling. The two people's faces turned red before leaving. The next journey was very boring for Murong Qing.

Almost near the capital, Eunuch Hong stopped at an inn and asked Murong Qing to go clean himself and give Murong Qing a pair of shoes and new clothes.

Murong Qing complied while the rest of the group had already entered the capital. After dressing cleanly, Murong Qing and his party entered the capital.

---Imperial Palace---

@meeting room

Everyone whispered many things and discussed among themselves. "Murong Qing arrived." Eunuch Hong announced and he went back inside. Murong Qing entered before kneeling in salute.

"Rise." Emperor Murong said. Murong Qing stood up. "From now on, you will remain in the capital and starting tomorrow you will work as Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice." Emperor Murong said.

...Murong Qing ...

Not just Murong Qing, everyone was shocked by Emperor Murong's order. "Father, I don't..." Murong Qing was cut off. "Are you going against orders?" Emperor Murong asked angrily. Murong Qing immediately knelt down. "This kid doesn't dare." Murong Qing said.

"The meeting is over, dismissed." Emperor Murong said. "Meeting dismissed." Eunuch Hong said. Everyone started to disperse from there. "Rise. You've become fond of kneeling." Emperor Murong said scolding Murong Qing.

Murong Qing stood up. "I blamed you as well as your mother. At that time I was too young and didn't think rationally." Emperor Murong said honestly. Murong Qing didn't say anything. The two of them and Eunuch Hong went to the royal garden.

"When your mother gave birth to you, I wanted to make her Empress but she refused and instead told me to choose Su Liqiu. You see? Your mother's case was handled by Su Yang and ultimately ended with your mother's death." Emperor Murong said sadly.

"Father, everything has passed. You don't need to get caught up in it. Everyone has a destiny." Murong Qing said calmly. "You've grown up." Emperor Murong said. 'It's not that I'm an adult but I don't know what affection is. I'm not your son. I'm not stupid. Besides, I don't understand affection without it, it won't hurt.' Murong Qing thought.

They chatted until noon and Emperor Murong even asked Murong Qing to join him for lunch. After finishing lunch, Emperor Murong asked Murong Qing to go visit Luo Mingze, whom he had made prince. Murong Qing agreed and said goodbye to leave the palace.

Emperor Murong also informed Murong Qing. Murong Qing's residence was right in front of Luo Mingze's residence. The two places were built simultaneously. Murong Qing really didn't know what the Emperor was thinking.

Murong Qing looked at Luo Mingze's residence which had Lord Hua's residence written on the nameplate. Murong Qing entered and met a woman who was quite elegant.

...Jiang Xue ...

System 005 gave an unreasonable mission, namely to seduce the woman in front of him. Although reluctant, Murong Qing had to do it.

"Beautiful Miss, where are you going?" Murong Qing asked smiling. The woman immediately took several steps back. "Please sir be more polite." The woman said a little awkwardly.

The mission is complete. System 005 seemed cheerful when he said it but Murong Qing was not happy. "Sister-in-law, where is Lord Hua?" Murong Qing asked calmly. The woman looked at Murong Qing in shock. "Sister-in-law?" The woman asked, quite surprised.

"You are Jiang Xue, the daughter of Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Rites. You are also the wife of Lord Hua, my brother." Murong Qing said smiling. "Your Highness Prince" Jiang Xue said nervously.

"You don't need to be nervous. I just wanted to make you laugh a little but instead it sounded like teasing. I'm sorry, I'm too clueless." Murong Qing said embarrassedly. "It's okay. Lord Hua, he's in the bath soaking." Jiang Xue explained.

"I'll go see him. You don't need to take me. I'll look for him myself. Sister-in-law, I'm so hungry." Murong Qing said smiling. Jiang Xue smiled and walked away.

Jiang Xue knew Murong Qing's meaning. Murong Qing wanted to come to have lunch with the two of them. Jiang Xue often heard rumors about Murong Qing. Unexpectedly, he had just returned to the capital but he had already come looking for Luo Mingze. It seemed that their relationship was very good.

Murong Qing seemed to be in a good mood and found a room that looked different and went inside. “Luo Mingze” said Murong Qing coming in.

Luo Mingze, who was standing about to get out of the bath, was shocked. "Go out!" Luo Mingze shouted angrily. Murong Qing was shocked but went out anyway. Murong Qing didn't even know why Luo Mingze was so angry.

But Murong Qing felt strange about the smell of the water, even though it was cold, it smelled like the medicine he had given the young man. Because the room was too dark, Murong Qing couldn't see Luo Mingze's face clearly.

As soon as Luo Mingze came out. Murong Qing turned his head and looked shocked at the person in front of him. "You?!" Murong Qing said in surprise.

...Luo Mingze ...
