"Inform everyone. Wuming has betrayed his master. Issue an order to hunt him down. Those who kill Wuming will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." The King of the Grassland never expected that Wuming would betray him. Fortunately, he sensed something was wrong that day, or he might not be alive now.
"Wuming?" The guard was quite surprised. He knew about Wuming, but the idea of him betraying his master... He just couldn't accept it. "My lord, is there some misunderstanding in this?"
"I also hope there is a misunderstanding, but the fact is as it is." He was quite sure that the person that day was Wuming. The martial arts, movements, and habits were exactly the same as Wuming's, so there couldn't be a mistake.
"Yes, I understand, my lord." After receiving the order, the guard sent people to hunt down Wuming. Assassinating the King of the Grassland was a capital crime.
After everyone in the room left, the King of the Grassland sat quietly, thinking about what had happened that day. Wuming had said that something had happened to the grassland tribe. Although he now had some doubts about the authenticity of this matter, it was better to be cautious.
He whistled, and a black - cloaked man appeared in the room. "Go back as fast as you can and see if anything serious has happened in the tribe."
"Yes." The black - cloaked man said and then left silently. Since he was the one with the best lightness skills among the secret guards, the King of the Grassland had sent him to investigate this matter.
"What did you say? The King of the Grassland is injured?" Yuan Yuchuan's temple throbbed. There was never a moment of peace. It was always one thing after another.
"How is he now?" Yuan Yuchuan rubbed his temples and asked the eunuch beside him with a headache.
"Your Majesty, the King of the Grassland is out of danger. However, the King of the Grassland sent someone to say that he was assassinated in our Qin Dynasty and that we should be fully responsible." This was the most troublesome part.
"I understand. Go and summon the Marquis of Zhongning and the Regent into the palace." Yuan Yuchuan didn't trust anyone else with this matter. He could only let Jing Xinche and Yuan Yuhan investigate it. After all, the King of the Grassland was in the capital city, and it was the two of them who had received him, so it was only right for them to look into this matter.
Yuan Yuchuan calmly assigned the task. When Jing Xinche and the other received this assignment, they had already expected it. Moreover, this suited their wishes, because they knew exactly who the mastermind of this matter was.
Wasn't it themselves? But could they admit it? No, they couldn't. So they would just drag this matter out. They would only find out the truth when they had a good scapegoat.
"Your Majesty, there is another thing." Saying this, the chief eunuch looked up at Yuan Yuchuan's gloomy face and said bravely, "The King of the Grassland requests that Princess Tianlin go and treat his illness."
When talking about this, the eunuch was really speechless. You're a grown man. How could you ask a young woman to take care of you? Aren't you afraid of rumors?
"Then let Mu Fengqie go." Yuan Yuchuan said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible. Leaving aside the rule that men and women should keep a proper distance, it would also sound bad if it got out. And considering Princess Tianlin's status, we don't have the right to ask her to take care of the King of the Grassland." The King of the Grassland was just looking for trouble.
Only after hearing the eunuch's words did Yuan Yuchuan realize that Mu Fengqie was now the princess of Tianlin Kingdom and the master of the Medicine Master Valley. She wasn't someone he could order around casually.
"Then let the King of the Grassland tell her himself. I can't do anything about it." Yuan Yuchuan waved his hand and let the eunuch leave. He hadn't even finished reviewing the memorials yet. These people just knew how to cause trouble all day long.
One day, he would kill them all without leaving a single one!
"My lord, the people of the King of the Grassland are here." Zhu Fei looked at Mu Fengqie with a complicated expression. She really couldn't figure out how the King of the Grassland could have such a thick skin.
"What do they want?" Mu Fengqie said without even lifting her eyelids.
Jing Xinche was sitting beside Mu Fengqie, looking at her intently. However, his ears were listening to what Zhu Fei was saying. He was also curious about what the King of the Grassland wanted with Qie'er.
"To reply to my lord, they are here for... " Zhu Fei closed her eyes and gritted her teeth before saying, "They want my lord to take care of the King of the Grassland."
After saying this, Zhu Fei flashed out of the room, because she knew that it was absolutely not suitable for any idlers to be in this room next. She'd better let her lord handle this matter by herself. After all, she had a deep understanding of the Marquis of Zhongning's ability to get jealous.
Sure enough, after Zhu Fei finished speaking, cold air was radiating from Jing Xinche's body. Why didn't Wuming just stab that guy to death when he went to get the blood? That brat even dared to ask his Qie'er to take care of him? Why didn't he just go to hell!
The more Jing Xinche thought about it, the angrier he got. He just couldn't swallow this anger. Jing Xinche stood up and was about to walk out of the door. He needed to find someone to vent his anger on.
"Stop! Where are you going?" Mu Fengqie called out to the angry Jing Xinche. She also didn't expect that the King of the Grassland would use this matter to pester her. No wonder Zhu Fei had such a strange expression when she came in just now.
But was she, Mu Fengqie, someone so easy to be ordered around? Did he think she would go just because he asked her to? What was he thinking?
"Qie'er, I'm going to teach that messenger outside a lesson." He couldn't lose his temper with his own people, so the person from the King of the Grassland standing outside the door was the perfect target.
"Come on. If you beat him up, then I'll really have to go and treat the King of the Grassland." Mu Fengqie rolled her eyes at Jing Xinche. Why was he so stupid at this moment?
"But Qie'er..." That King of the Grassland had bad intentions towards you. He lusted after you!
Jing Xinche looked at Mu Fengqie discontentedly. The accusation in his eyes was almost overflowing. Mu Fengqie coughed awkwardly twice and then turned her head to the side. She couldn't see anything.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to take care of the King of the Grassland. Just look at who I am. I'm the princess of Tianlin Kingdom and the master of the Medicine Master Valley. How could I be so easily ordered around?" She was now starting to wonder if the King of the Grassland in front of her was the same one as the one in the legends. Why was there such a big difference?
Wasn't he supposed to be terribly cold - blooded? Why did he have feelings for her?
She didn't think she was extremely beautiful. It was impossible for her to catch the King of the Grassland's attention just because of her face. And it was even more impossible to be because of her talent, since she had never shown her talent in front of the King of the Grassland.
Moreover, there were so many beautiful and talented women in the world who were more beautiful than her.
