Huo Wei stared fixedly at her enchanting and charming face, which was both gorgeous and delicate, exuding boundless charm.
Suddenly, last night's lingering and amorous dream flooded into his mind. It was Dugu Luanyue, yes, the demon queen he had dreamt about.
Murong Jue suddenly clapped his hands. "So you like this type!"
He turned around excitedly and looked at the madam. "Ask the girl to wait in the room. The prince will come right away."
Huo Wei's eyes became dazed. He got up and went into the girl's room.
Murong Jue said excitedly, "Madam Zhang, if this works, Hundred Flowers Pavilion will have made a great contribution!"
He had already made up his mind. If Huo Wei's hidden ailment could be cured, he would marry his cousin to Huo Wei to strengthen their family ties.
Huo Wei entered the woman's room. The gorgeous woman in the red dress began to undress and said in a charming voice, "Your Highness, my name is Hong Ling. You can tell me what you want me to do later."
Hong Ling secretly sized up this new powerful noble of the Northern Yan Dynasty who had conquered the Liao Kingdom in three years and been crowned prince in five years. His nose was really straight. This man was quite peculiar. Even in a brothel, he was still dressed neatly, his back straight as an arrow, his legs naturally apart, looking like a general in the military camp discussing military strategies.
Huo Wei sized up the girl for a few glances. His black eyes were still cold and calm.
Although the girl was gorgeous, her eyes were empty and dull, and there was a strong sense of vulgarity on her body.
Dugu Luanyue was different. The demon queen was like a red fox crouching on the snowy mountain peak, a fairy in the wonderland with the ability to harm others.
Thinking of this, Huo Wei pressed his forehead. Why did he think of the demon queen again? He quickly pulled his thoughts back.
He took out a gold ingot from his bosom and put it on the table. "Put your clothes on."
Hong Ling looked up in surprise. "Ah?"
Huo Wei stared straight ahead without even glancing at the bedside. "After you go out, tell them that I'm impotent."
"What does Your Highness mean? Do you not like me?" she asked timidly.
Hong Ling quickly got up and walked in front of Huo Wei across the screen. Looking at his straight nose and well - defined jawline, there was a fierce aura of a male beast naturally emanating from his body. This man was naturally charming and sexy. How could he be impotent?
Huo Wei slowly raised his eyes. "Do as I say. The more you know, the faster you die."
Frightened by his dignity and killing aura, Hong Ling quickly put away the gold ingot on the table and replied tremblingly, "Yes, Your Highness."
After a while, Hong Ling walked out of the room. She was certain in her heart that she had seen so many men. She could tell at a glance who was impotent, who was normal, and who was very capable.
A man like the Prince of Yuzhang clearly had boundless energy and must belong to the very capable category.
Murong Jue rushed up in a hurry. He saw Huo Wei's black robe trailing on the ground, his gold crown lying messily on the floor, and his inner shirt loosened, revealing his full chest with a few faint scars. He was lying on the bed with a gloomy and dejected look on his face.
"A Jue, don't waste your effort. It's no use," he said helplessly.
Murong Jue sighed. "Alright, I'll think of other ways for you later."
After that, he added,
"Oh, right, brother. I have to go to the palace right away. Father said that he wants me to be the general of the imperial guards to escort the queen. I have to enter the palace one day in advance to arrange the troops. I'll leave first."
Huo Wei put on his black robe and asked, "Where is the queen going?"
Murong Jue replied,
"The queen has only been married here for a month. The envoys from the Southern Chu have not left yet and will leave tomorrow. The queen said that she wants to see them off in person."
Huo Wei curled his thin lips.
"A Jue, I'll take this arduous task for you. Look, it's snowing heavily in the cold winter. There's really no need to escort that demon queen."
Murong Jue looked at the heavy snow outside the window.
"Alas, I don't want to go either. My mother told me to have less contact with this queen, saying that she's a demon in disguise. But you know, I dare not disobey Father's order."
Huo Wei patted Murong Jue on the shoulder and straightened his collar. He suggested reasonably,
"Ask the imperial physician to write you a prescription for a cold. I'll submit it to the palace for you."
Murong Jue clapped his hands. "Right! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you, brother. You're my real brother!"
Huo Wei nodded slightly. When he turned around and walked out of the room, a wicked arc appeared on his thin lips, revealing his white and sharp canine teeth. The opportunity had come so quickly.
He returned to the Prince of Yuzhang's Mansion and waited until around dusk. Murong Jue finally brought the prescription for the cold. Huo Wei got up and entered the palace.
Less than an hour later, news spread from the Zichen Palace.
Aunt Mei Jiang rushed back to the Zhaoyang Palace from the Zichen Palace with the news.
"Your Highness, there's a change. The general of the imperial guards escorting you out of the city has changed from the Third Prince to the Prince of Yuzhang."
Dugu Luanyue's hand that was holding the tea cup stopped in mid - air. She stared over. "Why? Why has it changed to Huo Wei?"
Aunt Mei Jiang clenched her hands.
"I don't know. I heard that the Third Prince suddenly fell ill. The Prince of Yuzhang felt sorry for his younger brother and took his place. Naturally, His Majesty readily agreed. But we're leaving tomorrow. How will Your Highness deal with this?"
Dugu Luanyue got off the warm couch. Her expression was a bit solemn.
"Huo Wei has always wanted to kill me and provoke a war between the north and the south. Once we're outside, it will be too easy for Huo Wei to cause an accident to me."
Aunt Mei Jiang asked, "The Prince of Yuzhang probably can't casually cause an accident to you. After all, if something happens to you when you're in his hands, His Majesty won't let him off."
Dugu Luanyue said softly,
"You underestimate Huo Wei's ability too much. After the incident in the side hall, he has never secretly sent anyone to the Zhaoyang Palace again. After all, it's not easy for him to act cleanly in the palace.
This time he replaced the Third Prince for no reason to be the escort. He must have a well - thought - out plan in mind."
Aunt Mei Jiang said in a low voice, "It will be really difficult for us to deal with him if he acts outside the palace."
Dugu Luanyue traced her eyebrows and said coldly, "Sometimes, there's no need to kill someone with one's own hands."
She got up, put on the red fox fur cloak, and walked out of the palace gate and got into the queen's phoenix carriage.
Aunt Mei Jiang had no idea what to do. She said nervously, "What's the Prince of Yuzhang? Your Highness is His Majesty's legitimate wife."
A cold smile appeared on Dugu Luanyue's face.
"In His Majesty's eyes, Huo Wei is his most important weapon, the sharp blade for him to dominate the four kingdoms. But I'm not. I'm just a newly - married step - queen."
When she was still planning how to make Huo Wei let down his guard against her step by step, Huo Wei had caught her off guard.
In the palace, Huo Wei naturally didn't dare to act against her blatantly. But outside, anything could happen.
In an instant, the hairs on her back stood up, and the fear in her heart was gradually spreading.
The queen's phoenix carriage rushed through the wind and snow and quickly arrived at the Northern Yan Emperor's bedroom. She was going to try her best to stop the emperor from making Huo Wei the escort.
In the Zichen Palace, there came the hearty laughter of a man, looking very content, as if everything had been settled.
