Chapter 183: Imperial Guest, Throwing Herself into His Arms
The wheels turned gradually.
The Dugu family's carriage slowly approached, positioned between the city gate and Qian Renjue.
Blocking their figures.
The coachman immediately jumped down from the carriage and bowed respectfully.
"Subordinate Dugu Xin greets Saint Son Your Highness."
"No need for formalities."
Qian Renjue slightly raised his hand.
Looking at Dugu Xin's complexion at this moment, it was completely different from the past.
"It seems you've recovered well."
"Thanks to Your Highness, my Dugu family was able to escape the torment of the poison."
Dugu Xin slowly stood up, his face filled with gratitude.
"Haha…"
Qian Renjue smiled, taking it as a given.
He instructed, "There are many eyes and ears here, let's get on the carriage first."
"As you command!"
Dugu Xin slightly nodded.
He immediately turned around and lifted the curtain, not forgetting to use respectful terms for Ling Yuan.
"Your Highness, Your Eminence… please."
As the words fell.
Dugu Xin's gaze swept towards Hu Liena, carrying a hint of curiosity.
Besides Miss Xue…
This was the second woman he had seen so intimate with Qian Renjue.
"Ling Yuan-jie, Nana, let's get in the car first."
"Yes, Senior Brother～"
Qian Renjue reminded, pulling Hu Liena onto the carriage.
Ling Yuan Douluo slightly nodded, following closely behind.
Listening to their conversation.
Dugu Xin suddenly understood.
So they were senior and junior siblings, no wonder their words and actions were so intimate.
"Let's go, lead the way."
Qian Renjue's calm voice came from inside the carriage.
"Yes!"
Dugu Xin nimbly jumped onto the horse and flicked the reins.
At the same time, he reported to Qian Renjue:
"Your Highness, Miss Xue is waiting at the Dugu residence, we will head over there now."
"Mm."
Qian Renjue slightly nodded.
Hu Liena, who was nestled beside him, suddenly sat up straight.
Resisting the pain, she created a slight distance from her beloved Senior Brother.
Qian Renjue glanced at her.
He chuckled silently.
It seemed that even though Elder Sister rarely came home, Hu Liena hadn't forgotten her imposing presence.
"Senior Brother, don't laugh!"
Hu Liena grabbed Qian Renjue's sleeve, acting spoiled.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't mess around, Elder Sister won't do anything to you."
Qian Renjue smiled and pinched Hu Liena's cheek.
"Mm…"
Hu Liena opened her mouth.
She swallowed the words of seeking protection back down.
Most of the time, Senior Brother couldn't stop Miss Xue from disciplining her at all.
Even her teacher, the Pope, couldn't do anything.
She could only silently endure…
The current Dugu Bo had already become a royal guest.
His status was very detached.
Currently, on the surface, only Emperor Xue Ye could issue simple commands to him.
Dugu Bo had no fixed abode.
As his son, Dugu Xin logically became the person delivering messages.
Therefore.
To him.
The inspection at the city gate was as if nonexistent.
The carriage slowly passed through the city gate, the hawking sounds outside gradually becoming louder…
This allowed the uneasy Hu Liena to temporarily put aside those worries.
She twisted her delicate body, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at the lively scene on the commercial street outside.
Brightness instantly appeared in her eyes.
She tugged at Qian Renjue's sleeve and happily said:
"Senior Brother, when can we go shopping on the street?"
"When we go back, we'll shop our way out of the city."
"Thank you, thank you, Senior Brother!"
"Heh."
Looking at Hu Liena's excited appearance, Qian Renjue could understand.
He was equally excited when he first came here.
Qian Renjue smiled.
He inquired to Dugu Xin outside the carriage:
"Dugu Xin, has anything happened in Heaven Dou City recently?"
Mentioning serious matters.
Ling Yuan, who had been feigning sleep, opened her beautiful eyes.
"Replying to Your Highness, there has indeed been a major event."
Dugu Xin's voice passed through the curtain, noticeably lowered.
"Two days ago, the Empire's Second Prince suddenly died violently, and Emperor Xue Ye ordered the officials to investigate strictly."
"Even the other princes of the royal family have been imprisoned."
"Second Prince?"
Qian Renjue was slightly stunned.
Ling Yuan Douluo couldn't help but glance at Qian Renjue.
They both knew very well that this should be Qian Renxue's doing.
"Your Highness, it seems we've come at the wrong time."
Ling Yuan Douluo frowned.
In any case, the relationship between the Empire and the Spirit Hall was only peaceful on the surface.
In this special period.
The Spirit Hall's Saint Son appearing in Heaven Dou City.
It was inevitable that someone would throw mud at Qian Renjue, or the Spirit Hall.
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Qian Renjue shook his head, not caring much.
After Qian Renxue injected two [Soul-Controlling Heart-Devouring Pills]
No matter how they played in this territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, they were bound to win!
It was just the death of a Second Prince.
"…"
Ling Yuan Douluo looked at the confidence in Qian Renjue's eyes and didn't say anything more.
Only Hu Liena was confused.
She didn't know.
What her Miss Xue, who disciplined her from time to time, was doing outside.
Qian Renjue quieted down.
At this time, having already taken down Heaven Dou, Xiao Wu, A Yin, and the Dugu family, he.
Was somewhat looking forward to Tang San's rise earlier.
"It seems… it's not far off."
Qian Renjue muttered to himself, his eyes cold and stern, he looked up and leaned back, closing his eyes.
When the time came.
Should he go and find trouble with him?
In that case…
It seemed a bit like bullying a child, but unfortunately, he wasn't a child.
"Phew～ Let the silly rabbit handle it then."
Qian Renjue exhaled, he didn't have that much time to stare at Tang San.
"What is Senior Brother thinking about? Does Nana need to help?"
Hu Liena hugged her arms tightly, her face under the wavy short hair was very delicate.
"I'll tell you when I need you."
Qian Renjue smiled slightly, raising his hand to lift that fair chin.
"Your Highness, we've arrived!"
The steed neighed, and the wheels rubbed against the ground.
In the backyard of the Dugu residence, Qian Renjue and the others got off the carriage one after another.
The antique backyard.
Simple flowers and plants, looking very cold and yet full of vitality.
"Jue! Over here～"
A familiar voice came, gentle, melodious, full of longing.
"Miss Xue?!"
Hearing the movement, Hu Liena immediately let go of her small hand, pinching her hem.
"Elder Sister…"
Qian Renjue turned around, his purple eyes slightly bright.
Qian Renxue was already standing under the eaves, with Ci Tun and She Mao following on both sides behind her.
The age of a young girl had basically faded away.
The exquisite and peerless face seemed to brighten the dust in this courtyard a lot.
The goose-yellow long dress concealed the strength on her body.
Her posture was graceful, and her smile was as bright as a flower.
"Why are you still standing there? Are you waiting for your sister to throw herself into your arms?"
Qian Renxue smiled at the corner of her mouth, beckoning to Qian Renjue.
"Of course not."
Qian Renjue consciously stepped forward.
Qian Renxue carried her hands behind her back, looking at the embrace in front of her, slowly leaning over.
"Why did it take so long to hunt souls?"
Qian Renxue's chin poked on Qian Renjue's shoulder.
Looking at Hu Liena's eyes, carrying teasing, and a bit of danger.
Qian Renjue shook his head.
He explained, "Besides hunting souls, I also did some other things."
"Other things?"
Qian Renxue glanced at the quail-like Hu Liena.
She immediately felt bored.
Slightly turning her head, smelling the long-lost aura, she exhaled a hot breath towards that fair ear.
"Then you have to confess truthfully later."
"I will."
"Mm～ Still so obedient, smack!"
I wish everyone a happy life!
