Across thousands of years loving you 27

  "Hmph!" Murong Xuan snorted disdainfully, "Do you think this imperial palace is our Murong royal residence? Do you think there are only the emperor and you two in this palace? Staying in the palace means living under the gaze of many unseen eyes. Whatever you do, say, or even think, someone will be silently watching and paying attention. If you continue with your current mindset, you'll lose your life in no time, without even realizing it. Follow me? You're underestimating me, underestimating this palace! I don't need to follow you, whatever you do ahead of time will be blown into my ears by the 'wind'!"

  Murong Xue couldn't say a word.

  "Tell me, are you going home or not?" Mu Rong Xuan pressed for an answer.

  Murong Xue's face showed a hesitant expression, and after a long time, she said in a small voice that was almost inaudible: "If Snow returns now, the Emperor will definitely be heartbroken."

  "Hmph! Hmph!" Mu Rong Qian's vision went dark, and she let out two cold laughs before collapsing into her chair. She felt a suffocating pain in her chest, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. "I truly regret it now. I should not have agreed to help you mediate with Father back then. If only I had known this would happen, I would have rather agreed to let the Fourth Prince take you as his wife! Not only did I sacrifice my third sister's lifelong happiness, but our Mu Rong family has also become infamous for being a family of seductresses!"

  Murong Yu was also stunned. This Murong Xue, wasn't she possessed by a ghost? She didn't even think her current behavior was excessive, and yet she still worried that if she left now, the Emperor would be sad? What kind of grandchild-grandparent relationship is this? It's simply a romantic relationship between two people!

  "Little sister, you wouldn't have really fallen for Huang, would you?" Murong Yu asked dully.

  Murong Xue lowered her head and remained silent, she herself couldn't explain her emotions at this moment, nor did she know if she liked the Emperor, all she knew was that she didn't want to leave the Emperor's side and return to the Murong King's mansion.

  Murong Feng remained silent, sitting there listening to their conversation.

  To be honest, Murong Feng didn't find Murong Xue's choice too surprising. In the era of Bai Min, this might just be a sugar daddy, but at this time, for a young girl who has just fallen in love, the emperor is indeed a huge and irresistible temptation.

  The emperor, although approaching middle age, is still remarkably handsome, and with his mature demeanor, it's only natural that Murong Xue, who has always been doted on by her father, would have a father complex. Although she now occupies Murong Feng's body, she is still Bai Min's soul, and to her, Murong Xue is just a nominal younger sister without any blood relation, so it doesn't hurt that much.

  Everyone suddenly stopped talking, and there was really nothing more to say.

  "Third sister, I'm sorry to you." Murong Xuan sighed with a bitter smile, looking at the quiet and expressionless Murong Feng, and said, "Originally, you could have married a loving husband and lived a peaceful and happy life. But... alas, now I truly regret it too late."

  "Sister, life can't always go as planned, you don't have to feel guilty." Murong Feng smiled lightly and said calmly, "It's already like this now, it depends on my own luck. Besides, that Sima Rui, although he's a rebel, is actually quite lenient, his heart isn't bad, otherwise he wouldn't have let little sister off scot-free. Sister doesn't have to worry about me, it's not a big deal."

  Murong Xue's heart was in disarray, she waved her hand and looked at Murong Xue with a expressionless face, saying: "Xiao Xue, you can go now. Since you insist on staying in the Warm Jade Pavilion, I, as your sister, can only accept it. Today, for the last time, I'll call you Xiao Xue, treating you like my little sister. From now on, Murong Xue will respectfully address you as 'Your Highness'. I hope you can find happiness in this palace. Forgive me, Murong Xue, for not sending you off far. You can return to your Warm Jade Pavilion now. Although you're still a young girl who hasn't come of age and aren't yet at the age of choosing a husband, I'm afraid the Emperor won't be able to wait a year. Take care of yourself."

  "Big sister! —— Mu Rong Xue was also crying uncontrollably."

  "Xiao Xue," Murong Yu wanted to persuade her.

  "Let the second sister go." Murong Xuan leaned back in her chair, tiredly saying, "And let her go. Now she is no longer our little sister, sooner or later, we will all have to call her 'Your Highness', so we might as well congratulate her in advance."

  Murong Xue stood still for a moment, then surprisingly turned around and walked out the door. Murong Xuan could no longer control herself, tears pouring down her face like rain.

  "Elder sister," Murong Yu supported Murong Xuan, whose mind was also in a mess. How did things turn out this way? It was just a family banquet, and they had only met the Emperor. Why was her younger sister so stubborn?!

  Murong Feng thought to himself: I'm afraid that from today on, Murong Xue will be drawn into the whirlpool and can't control her own fate. The Emperor intends to make her his concubine, and the Second Prince wants to take her as his wife. If it really comes to a father-son conflict, this ancient crime will truly be impossible to wash clean. Just like that beauty Yang Guifei, she only brought about sighs of admiration and pity from scholars, but in the end was just a fleeting beauty, entrancing the emperor with her charm.

  "Murong Xue, take care of yourself." Murong Feng's soft words were like the autumn rain outside the room, entering her ears and heart, filled with pity, helplessness, and calmness...

  At this one sentence, Murong Xue's figure at the door suddenly trembled slightly, tears burst forth, and she almost wanted to return and throw herself into her sisters' arms for a good cry. But thinking of the emperor's warmth and affection, she steeled herself and left resolutely.

  For a moment, the whole room was chilled to the bone and quiet in a terrifying way!

  Murong Xuan felt extremely distressed and really wanted to wail loudly, sitting stupidly in the chair, staring blankly.

  Murong Feng's heart was unbearable, he walked forward and supported Murong Xuan's shoulder, softly comforting her, "Elder sister, things have come to this point, you don't need to worry anymore. Murong Xue has made this choice, just let her be, but she is still young, not yet sixteen, I'm afraid the Emperor won't wait another year, if he favors her, within the palace there are many dangers, you must be careful."

  Murong Yu also said in a hurry: "Third sister is absolutely right, elder sister, you should also make preparations early."

  "Alas," Murong Xuan let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid that by then, no one will be able to help her. Let's not mention anything else, but if she really is favored by the Emperor now, Liu Fei, the mother of the Second Prince, will definitely be the first to refuse to forgive her. The means at Liu Fei's disposal are beyond what Xiao Xue can imagine."

  Outside, Spring Willow came in and softly said: "Miss, the Fourth Prince has sent Wang Bao to invite you back to the mansion for dinner."

  "Alright, I'll go back now." Murong Feng replied.

  "You go back first," Murong Xuan waved her hand, "so as not to make the Fourth Prince wait anxiously and cause more trouble."

  Watching Murong Feng leave, Murong Yu looked at Murong Xuan and asked softly: "Elder sister, don't you think that Third Sister seems to have changed completely? She's become even more beautiful, and it looks like she has a newfound vitality. Yesterday, Wu Meng saw Third Sister and told me that if he hadn't met her before, he would have found it hard to believe that the most outstanding person in the Murong Royal Manor was actually Little Snow."

  She nodded, "Since she woke up from her illness, she has changed, becoming stronger and more mature in her dealings. Her appearance has also become more attractive. In fact, there are no ugly women in the Murong Royal Manor; every one of them is beautiful and charming. It's just that Third Sister's personality was too dull before, so nobody noticed. But now, perhaps this is the real her. If we compare carefully, Third Sister is actually not inferior to Little Sister. Not to mention other things, just saying that she is married to the Fourth Prince now, and the Fourth Prince can invite her back for dinner, it's not something Little Sister can do. If it were Little Sister, she would probably be crying alone right now."

  Murong Yu nodded, "Sister is right."

  "You'd better go back too, so as not to worry Wu Meng and the others. I know you two have a very good relationship and are never apart. I won't keep you any longer, hurry back! I'm also tired and want to rest early." Murong Xuan said wearily, "Your brother-in-law will probably be back late."

  Murong Yu sighed and also turned to leave, Murong Xue's choice was really beyond everyone's expectation, I don't know how big sister will explain to her parents.
