"I told you, don't take me seriously, or I'll kill you."
He will never fall in love with anyone again.
I don't want to be burdened with anyone's emotional debts.
That face of hers was a menace since she was a child, and it became increasingly undeniable as she grew up.
If Luo Miao was a nine out of ten before, then Luo Miao is a twelve out of ten now.
There was a mysterious aura about him.
It makes you want to explore it.
I especially wanted to see the deep sorrow hidden in his eyes, and who it was for.
Physical appearance can attract people at first glance, but it doesn't last.
If one possesses extraordinary character and appearance, with the bearing of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix.
That destined him for an extraordinary life.
Luo Miao is such a person, someone that Murong Jiu desperately wants to conquer and possess.
However, it really is a thorny vine.
Beneath its beautiful exterior lie sharp thorns, preventing any prying or touching.
He blocked the jade flute, grabbed the other person's hand, and pulled him towards himself.
Luo Ling's body was already weak, and she was already struggling after exchanging two moves.
With Murong Jiu pulling her like that, she couldn't stop herself and rushed straight into his arms.
A strong hand immediately gripped his waist.
"open."
Luo Ling placed her hand on the other person's chest, her expression cold.
Murong Jiu pressed herself against the ground defiantly, "I won't let go."
"you..."
"You can't beat me."
Luo Miao pursed her lips, speechless.
He is indeed no match for him now, and even resisting is beyond his power.
Murong Jiu knew when to stop. Seeing that his complexion was worse than before, she helped him walk out while making a firm statement.
"Murong Xian has committed treason and collusion with the enemy. The evidence is conclusive. He is sentenced to death by dismemberment, to be carried out in three days."
"The Prince's mansion was raided, the heir was brought to the palace, and the others were exiled to the frontier."
A once grand prince's mansion vanished overnight.
Lying on the ground, barely breathing, Murong Xian stared unfocusedly at Murong Jiu's retreating figure before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He was unwilling to accept it.
The plan was so meticulously planned, yet it was easily ruined in the end.
He was so enraged that he fainted.
The guards ignored his current state, grabbed him at will, and dragged him away.
As soon as Luo Miao returned to her palace, she couldn't stay awake any longer and went to bed to sleep.
Murong Jiu gently covered him with the blanket before going to the outer hall to review memorials.
...
"Master, we only found out that the young master's name is Luo Miao. He left Luo Kingdom half a month ago and did nothing unusual along the way, which is normal."
"They were in the royal hunting grounds when they were probably preparing to enter the city via that road."
"As for the matter in Luo Kingdom, I am incompetent and have not been able to find out."
Murong Jiu listened to the report from the person kneeling before him, his sharp black eyes narrowing slightly.
There are many people with the surname Luo in Luoguo, so you can't tell anything from their surname.
But Murong Jiu was certain that his demeanor indicated he came from a prominent family.
His fingers tapped lightly on the memorial. "Have you confirmed that the entire royal family of Luo Kingdom perished in battle?"
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess of the Luo Kingdom is still alive. She was sent away by the Empress before the Luo Kingdom was destroyed, and she is currently in my Fengtian."
"My subordinates had someone keep an eye on her and discovered that she was constantly inquiring about your whereabouts and was also preparing to contact some ministers."
The bodyguard quickly reported everything he knew.
"Keep an eye on her and see what she's going to do."
Murong Jiu didn't take a princess of a fallen kingdom seriously. If she were truly capable, why would she allow her country to perish?
Those who sleep obediently in his bed are the truly capable ones.
Although he was also a citizen of Luo, the fall of Luo was by no means his fault.
Only Murong Jiu could be so brazen in applying double standards.
