Chapter 146: Really Miserable
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When the crown prince’s personal junior eunuch saw him e out of the inner room, his eyes automatically brightened and eagerly ran over, asking, “Your Highness, are you going to see the officials?”
Those officials were really miserable!
They had been waiting since the afternoon, and dinner time had passed already, but His Highness the Crown Prince willfully gave them all the cold shoulder…
The crown prince glanced at the junior eunuch. “You think… this crown prince is someone so amiable?”
“Your Highness isn’t in the slightest!”
His Highness did not need to say anything else, and the eunuch donned a cold expression and strode outside, taking two steps in place of three. Toward the approaching officials, he said, “Sirs, His Highness the Crown Prince is about to sleep!”
Clang! The officials all heard their hearts drop to the ground and shatter! They had waited from light to dark, but they had thought His Highness the Crown Prince would be charitable and e out to see them.
However, he didn’t!
Hence, if you had hoped that the crown prince’s black heart would turn a tinge whiter, it was impossible…
“Marquis of Jiajing, wh-what should we do? Should we keep waiting or not?” He should have learned from the Marquis of Stability and flicked his sleeves and left a long time ago so that he would not have had to foolishly stay here all day!
Anger erupted in the Marquis of Jiajing. “Tell me! His Majesty wants us to wait here, do you dare to not wait???”
“Wait!”
“We will wait here for every day that we don’t see His Highness the Crown Prince!” An official declared with tears streaming down his face. Even if they waited until weeds were overgrown and wild mushrooms sprang up everywhere, they had to wait!
If crying could make the crown prince’s heart soften, then they really wanted to fill a river with their tears!
They wondered if there was someone in the world who could make His Highness the Crown Prince shed all of his prideful, willful, and headstrong character! There probably was not, right…
“Achoo.” Qiao Mu rubbed her little nose. She was sitting on the edge of a soft bed and swinging her short little legs back and forth.
“Qiaoqiao, will you be fine sleeping by yourself?”
Qiao Mu glumly looked at her mother and frantically nodded to indicate that she could!
“Then alright, Mother will check on you later.” Wei Ziqin pinched her daughter’s cheeks and reached out to pick up the young Qiao Lin, who kept making a fuss, before walking outside the room.
“Mother, I beg you to not e!”
It was not like she was really a tiny child who needed her mother to e in the middle of the night to tuck in her blanket for her!
Qiao Mu rolled onto the bed in a tumble and buried herself into the blankets. She released a big breath of air as she smelled the light fragrance ing from the blanket.
She could finally get a good night’s sleep!
Present
The city gate of Xijiu City had been shut already.
A carriage was rapidly bounding toward the closed city gate. A person jumped from the carriage and ignored the mon people around him who had to sleep outdoors. He dashed to the city gates and forcefully pounded on the gate while shouting, “Quick, open the gate! Open the gate!!!”
“Open the gate! Didn’t you see that it’s Second Lord Liu who returned to the city? Open, open, quick!”
The two body cultivators who guarded the city looked down and through the firelight ing from the torch, indifferently stated, “The city lord has ordered the entire city to shut its gates before night dawns. We can only open the gates when dawn arrives!”
“Two blind insipid dogs! Don’t you know who Second Young Master Liu is?” the Liu Family’s guard who pounded on the gate angrily shouted. “How dare you treat the second young master of the Liu Estate like this! Quickly open the city gate!!!”
The two body cultivators coolly looked at the servant and left the city gate tower, pletely unmindful of the shouts and curses ing from the servants of the Liu Estate.
“Second Young Master, can’t we enter?” A soft voice came from the carriage.
