Chapter 42 – Borrowing a Corpse for Souls


    Outside Prime Minister Luo’s residence, Wu Shang stood outside the door as he paced back and forth until a middle-aged man rushed out in a hurry, and said respectfully to Wu Shang:


    “Sir Wu Shang, my family’s young miss will be leaving the manor with Young Master Yale this morning.”


    Wu Shang frowned, “Does the butler know where Miss Luo went with Young Noble Yale?”


    “This… This little one does not know. ”


    Seeing that, Wu Shang did not linger, and quickly jumped on his horse, and left Prime Minister Luo’s residence.


    Not long after he left, Luo Rong followed Yelv Zhuo out of Prime Minister Luo’s residence.


    Today, because Yelv Zhuo hade to the residence to see her, she had purposely dressed up.


    After taking off her usual elegant clothes, she deliberately ordered someone to make a set of the green skirt that Yelv Zhuo admired the most. Even her smoky makeup was meticulously painted to make Yelv Zhuo happy.


    She nced at Yelv Zhuo with her beautiful eyes, seeing that the butler was still outside the door, she opened her mouth and asked gently: “Uncle Yan, were you Prince Jing’s Manor’s man just now?”


    Butler Yan nodded and replied respectfully, “Yes, Miss. Just now, the Prime Minister had sent someone to deliver a message saying that the Second Prince of Tong Li Kingdom, Xiao Lin, had died from poisoning due to a “sh in the pan”. It is fortunate that you and Young Noble Yale did not go today, the Prime Minister has said that the situation is tense. If anyone were toe to the Prime Minister’s Pce to look for you, they would have to refuse, in order to avoid harming our Prime Minister Luo Pce. ”


    Luo Rong and Yelv Zhuo who was beside him looked at each other, nodded to butler Yan and then followed Yelv Zhuo back to Prime Minister Luo’s residence.


    The two of them walked along the small path in the garden side by side. Luo Rong suddenly turned and looked at Yelv Zhuo as she asked curiously.


    “Your Highness, why would Prince Jing’s Manor’s peoplee to the Prime Minister’s Pce to look for you?”


    A thoughtful smile could be seen in Yelv Zhuo’s dark almond-shaped eyes. “Other than the elixirs and panacea that I need, there won’t be anything else for Prince Jing to look for me.”


    “Could it be that someone from Prince Jing’s Manor’s side was injured?”


    Yelv Zhuo onlyughed and did not speak, indicating that Luo Rong should take a guess. Luo Rong turned and walked in front as she said, “To have Prince Jing’s personal bodyguardse to Prime Minister Luo’s residence to look for someone, that person must be someone very important to Prince Jing! Prince Jing has a cold personality, in Rong’er’s memories, he has never ced anyone in his eyes! ”


    Yelv Zhuo suddenly interrupted Luo Rong’s words, “Little Sister Rong’er, don’t tell me that you have forgotten that General Mo’s Residence’s Ninth Miss has been with Prince Jing’s Manor for the past two days?”


    Luo Rong raised her eyes and looked at Yelv Zhuo suspiciously.


    “Could it be?”


    The corner of Yelv Zhuo’s mouth curled up, and those phoenix eyes looked at Luo Rong with a deep meaning, as she smiled at her: “It’s exactly how you think it is, Little Sister Rong’er! I am afraid that Prince Jing, who has been frozen for ten thousand years, has fallen for General Mo’s Residence. ”


    Luo Rong strode to Yelv Zhuo’s front, moving closer to him, her voice carrying a sense of gentleness, “Your Highness, have you seen Miss Mo before?”


    “What is it? Little Sister Rong’er, are you worried that I’ll be moved by this as well? ”


    Luo Rong bashfully stomped her feet, “Your Highness, you know that in Rong’er’s entire life, you’re the only one.”


    She had followed Yelv Zhuo for so many years, she definitely could not lose sight of him just because of a sudden Mo Residence’s Ninth Miss.


    Yelv Zhuo’s sharp eyes instantly softened. He lowered his gaze, and an endless smile appeared in the corners of his eyes. “Rong’er, don’t tell that you can’t see the feelings I have for you. Even if Mo Youyou is ever more otherworldly, in my eyes, you will only be the most beautiful person to me, Little Sister Rong’er. ”


    Luo Rong raised her eyes, looked fixedly at Yelv Zhuo, and asked: “Your Highness, is what you said true?”


    Yelv Zhuo nodded towards Luo Rong, “It is naturally true. Rong’er, don’t let your imagination run wild. In a few days, the pce will arrange for a matchmaker toe to Prime Minister Luo’s pce to propose marriage, and marry you back to the Fusang Kingdom as soon as possible. Is that good? ”


    Luo Rong shyly nodded and agreed with Yelv Zhuo’s words. The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then walked towards Luo Rong’s sleeping quarters.


    After Wu Shang left Prime Minister Luo’s residence, he immediately rushed back to Prince Jing’s Manor.


    At this time, it was already noon and a big mistake had urred (Noon had passed). After Wu Shang rushed over, he directly went to the Northern Courtyard to report to them.


    Just as he reached the entrance of Northern Courtyard, he saw Yue Er kneeling down there, sobbing non-stop.


    Wu Shang walked over and asked curiously: “Yue Er, what are you doing?”


    Seeing that it was Wu Shang, Yue Er was moved to tears: “Master Wu Shang, can you please beg the Duke not to kill my family’s young miss. “Howl, howl ~ ~”


    Wu Shang was confused, “Ninth Miss, she?”


    “Just now, the Prince carried my Young Miss away with a face full of killing intent. Yue Er was worried … “I’m worried that the prince…”


    Before he even finished speaking, the door to Northern Courtyard Helian Yi’s study room slowly opened. A crisp and beautiful voice sounded with a bit of anger.


    “Yue Er! “Don’t be rude!”


    When Yue Er heard that familiar voice, she immediately looked towards the distance. Seeing that, Wu Shang was shocked.


    Did the Prince find the antidote? But thinking about how Xiao Lin had died in such a “fleeting moment”, Wu Shang felt that this matter was extremely strange.


    Behind Mo Youyou, Helian Yi coldly swept a nce at Wu Shang, hinting him to retreat first. Wu Shang understood, and quickly disappeared outside Northern Courtyard.


    Mo Youyou walked in front of Yue Er and said to her coldly, “Yue Er, you can’t speak carelessly when you’re notparable to General Mo’s Residence. I’m fine now, it’s a shame that Royal Uncle risked his life to save me. ”


    After he finished speaking, Mo Youyou turned around to look at Helian Yi, who was at least ten meters away from them.


    This time, she really had to thank this man for reincarnating. Just as she was about to disappear in despair, Helian Yi carried Mo Residence’s Ninth Miss in. In order to save her, he had personally killed Mo Residence’s Ninth Miss.


    She muttered in her heart: “Miss Mo, thank you. You chose to let me live. I, Mo Youyou, will never forget this favor. From then on, you are me, and I am Mo Residence’s Ninth Miss! Whoever bullies you, I won’t let anyone off easy! Rest in peace. ”


    Recovering from his shock, Mo Youyou smiled at Helian Yi.


    Helian Yi did not dare to believe that death could actually bring about a revival. What made him even more shocked was that when Mo Youyou woke up once again, a scarlet me that seemed to be burning miraculously emerged from between his brows.


    It made her look even more enchanting than she used to be, yet she was also quite charming and quick-witted.


    Mo Youyou had wanted to make up a story to exin to Helian Yi, but who knew that Yue Er’s voice came from outside, so she came out with an excuse and avoided Helian Yi’s scolding.


    Hearing Mo Youyou’s words, Yue Er was so overjoyed that she cried. As long as Miss was fine, she, Yue Er, would be dragged out by the Duke and beaten to a pulp of twenty for disturbing him.


    Wiping his tears, Yue Er replied in a low voice: “It was Yue Er who was disrespectful, I hope that Your Highness can punish me.”


    Mo Youyou looked at the innocent Yue Er, and suddenlyughed: “Royal Uncle is an understanding prince, and knows that you are only thinking for the Master, he will definitely not punish you.” With that, he looked at Helian Yi and asked, “Royal Uncle, what do you think? “Hehe …”


    Helian Yi was speechless, he had never seen a woman with such thick skin.


    He had saved her life, and it had be, “Uncle saving your niece is a matter of course. If you don’t save him, then heaven cannot tolerate this.”


    Now, her maidservant had offended him, and in her mouth, she said, “He is a wise prince.” If he continued to quibble about punishing and punishing Yue Er, it would be him being unreasonable!
