Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 345 This woman dares to defy him!

Thinking back to when Mu Yun Chu forced a birthday gift on me, I realized that although men are different, their thoughts are pretty much the same.

"Is this how His Highness Prince Jing comforted the girls who were frightened the day before yesterday? His Highness Prince Jing is such a good person."

Gu Qingyue couldn't stand his 'deeply affectionate' look, and looked at Prince Jing with amusement, deliberately saying...

I wonder if he used the same trick when he kept Tsukihime in a golden house?

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunjing was slightly taken aback, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

But he immediately said, "How can they be compared to Miss Gu? I only care about your safety."

The point is made very clear.

If it were any other young lady from a prominent family, even if she didn't yet have feelings for Mu Yunjing, she would probably be shy and flustered at this point, right?

Gu Qingyue thought to herself, after all, it would be hard for an ordinary woman to resist a prince who is so handsome, noble, considerate, rich and treats her differently.

"Your Highness is too kind. I was not frightened much the day before yesterday. Thank you for your concern," Gu Qingyue said.

"Does the young lady not wish to accept my feelings?"

Mu Yunjing was slightly taken aback; he had never seen a woman who dared to refuse him to his face.

Even though Gu Qingyue was as beautiful as a fairy, he couldn't help but show his displeasure.

He had never lowered himself to coax any woman like this before, not even Yue Ji, whom he had pampered so much in the past, would dare to be so arrogant.

Of course, from Mu Yunjing's perspective, Gu Qingyue could understand his anger and displeasure.

After all, this was an era where men were superior to women, not to mention that the other party was a prince, whose dignity could not be challenged.

But so what?

Gu Qingyue calmly raised her eyes to look at the prince in front of her, who was spoiled by the emperor, doted on by his mother, and obeyed by too many people, without any fear.

Instantly, tensions rose between the two, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

"What is Fifth Brother doing?"

The two were glaring at each other when a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door, along with the King of England's somewhat gloating voice.

Standing inside the door, Jiang Wan and Zhu Qing, who were secretly anxious about their master and Prince Jing, were relieved to hear the voice outside the door.

They had both heard what Prince Jing said, and seeing the tense atmosphere between their master and Prince Jing, they were frantic with worry!

Jiang Wan even considered sending a message out to get Prince Li to come to the rescue.

Unexpectedly, the King of England arrived at that moment.

Jiang Wan cleverly opened the door for the Prince of Ying.

Prince Mu Yunchun strode in immediately, accompanied by the fourth prince, who had a very low profile, and was now Prince Zhen, Mu Yuntian.

Not far behind the two, King Jing's two guards stood motionless at the door, their arms around the shoulders of King Ying's guards, their faces full of anger.

When Mu Yunjing saw the two people walk in, he gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't say anything.

"Eh? Is this Miss Gu San?" The Prince of Ying asked first upon seeing the scene in the private room.

He looked around the room. Mu Yunjing was sitting at a round table with two long wooden boxes on it.

A eunuch stood behind Mu Yunjing, his head bowed and eyes downcast.

Gu Qingyue stood up with a smile, curtsied as a gesture of respect, and stood beside the two maids who had just opened the door for her.

"You... what's going on here? Did the fourth prince and I arrive at the wrong time?" the King of England asked with a strange expression.

Gu Qingyue smiled but remained silent.

She was extremely grateful for the King's actions, which were a real lifesaver!

She was really afraid that if she stayed with Mu Yunjing any longer, she would be unable to resist slamming the box on his head.

"Why are Third Brother and Fourth Brother here?"

Mu Yunjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he couldn't say anything more to Gu Qingyue today. These two were obviously here to watch the show, and might even be trying to find something to use against him.

"Oh, we were just drinking in another room when we came out and saw your guards standing outside looking all mysterious. We thought you had some... distinguished guest here, so we came over to say hello."

The King of England fanned himself with the folding fan holding the "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" painting, his expression utterly innocent.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I just happened to run into Your Highness, Prince Jing. Your Highness has picked out two pieces of jewelry from Liufang Pavilion for Princess Lianfu and would like me to take a look and see if they are suitable. That's why I lingered for a moment. Now that you two princes have arrived, please continue your conversation. I will not disturb you any longer."

Gu Qingyue had already seen the Liufang Pavilion logo on the box, and not wanting to hear anything inappropriate from Mu Yunjing, she decided to strike first!

If Princess Lianfu and His Highness Prince Jing were paired up, Princess Lianfu would probably be 'very happy,' right? If she's not happy, then it's Prince Jing's fault, isn't it?

Gu Qingyue thought to herself, "Doesn't Princess Lianfu like Prince Jing? I'll grant your wish!"

I wonder if Prince Jing will also take a liking to you?

Oh, by the way, I hope this reaches the Eighth Prince's ears as soon as possible, hahaha!

Upon hearing this, the King of England and the Prince of Zhen exchanged a glance, and the King of England's smile became even more genuine.

"I see. It's good to have Miss Gu help us take a look. I heard that Liufang Pavilion is owned by Miss Gu's maternal grandfather's family. I'm sure Miss Gu knows all about it very well."

Gu Qingyue was startled upon hearing this. This Third Prince was indeed no pushover; he knew all of this clearly.

Gu Qingyue smiled and nodded, "Your Highnesses, please continue with your business. This humble woman will take her leave."

With that, Gu Qingyue turned around and led Jiang Wan and Zhu Qing towards the door.

As expected, Mu Yunjing's voice was not heard.

Gu Qingyue walked away briskly until she reached the top of the stairs, at which point she slowed down.

"My lord, I'm afraid His Highness Prince Jing will not let this go so easily."

Jiang Wan and Zhu Qing both saw worry in each other's eyes, and Zhu Qing lowered her voice to speak.

"Well, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. I don't have that much time to get entangled with these people." She wants to go back to Lizhou after her grandfather's birthday celebration, and she also wants to go to Nanzhao to see the grand Heavenly Sacrifice. Who has time to waste with these people?

Inside the private room, Mu Yunjing's face was so dark it looked like ink could drip from it.

What he couldn't tolerate the most was that there were actually women who dared to defy him and reject him!

Is this enough that he can't tolerate her disdain for him? Then he's even less likely to let her go!

After the King and Prince Zhen exchanged a few perfunctory words, having finished watching the spectacle and received an unexpected message, they took their leave.

As he walked up the stairs, thinking about what had just happened, a mocking smile appeared on the usually refined and handsome face of the King of England.

Did Prince Jing actually fall in love with Princess Lianfu?

Haha, don't think they don't believe it, even King Jing himself probably doesn't believe it!

How could a prince vying for the throne possibly marry a foreign princess?

It's no wonder that this fifth brother has been colluding with Yue Zhiqi for a long time, right?

He was quite certain that Princess Lienfeld was merely a tool to deceive others.
