Outside Prime Minister Luo's residence, Wu Shang stood by the door and paced back and forth until a middle-aged man rushed out, and spoke respectfully to him,"Sir Wu Shang, my family's young miss left the manor with Young Master Yelv this morning."

Wu Shang frowned, "Does the butler know where Miss Luo went with Young Noble Yelv?"

"This... This little one does not know."Seeing that, Wu Shang did not linger any longer. Quickly jumping on his horse, he 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 had come to the residence to see her, she had purposely dressed up.

Changing her usual elegant clothes, she deliberately ordered someone to make a set of the green robe that Yelv Zhuo admired the most. Even her smoky makeup was meticulously painted to make Yelv Zhuo happy.Luo Rong glanced at Yelv Zhuo with her beautiful eyes, seeing that the butler was still outside the door, she opened her mouth and gently asked, "Uncle Yan, the person who left just now, was that one of Prince Jing's men?"Butler Yan nodded and replied respectfully, "Yes, Miss. Earlier, 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. It is good that Young Miss and Young Noble Yelv did not go out today. The Prime Minister mentioned that the situation is tense. If anyone were to come to the Prime Minister's Palace to look for you, they would have to refuse to avoid harming our Prime Minister Luo's Palace's reputation."Luo Rong and Yelv Zhuo, who was beside the butler, looked at each other and nodded before following him 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 to look at Yelv Zhuo as she asked curiously."Your Highness, why would Prince Jing send his men to the Prime Minister's Palace to look for you?"A thoughtful smile flashed in Yelv Zhuo's face. "Other than the elixirs and panacea that I own, there won't be anything else for Prince Jing to look for me.""Could it be that someone from Prince Jing's people got injured?"

Yelv Zhuo only laughed 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 private bodyguard come to Prime Minister Luo's residence to look for someone, that person must be very precious to Prince Jing! Prince Jing has a cold personality. In Rong'er's memories, he has never placed anyone in his eyes!"

Yelv Zhuo suddenly interrupted Luo Rong's words, "Rong'er must have forgotten that the Mo residence's Ninth Miss has been staying

at the Prince'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. His phoenix eyes looked at Luo Rong with deep meaning as he smiled at her. "It's exactly as what Little Sister Rong'erthinks! I'm afraid that the King of Ice-bergs, finally fell and it wasto the Ninth Miss."Luo Rong strode to Yelv Zhuo's side, moving closer to him, she asked in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, have you seen Miss Mo before?""What is it? Is Little Sister Rong'er, worried that I'll be moved by her 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 would 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 me that you can't see the feelings I have for you? Even if Mo Youyou becomes the most otherworldly woman in the world, in my eyes, it will only be you 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 palace will arrange for a matchmaker to come at Prime Minister Luo's palace 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 leaving the Prime Minister's

residence, Wu Shange immediately rushed back to Jingwangfu.

During this time, it was already noon. After Wu Shang rushed over, he directly went to the Northern Courtyard to report to Helian Yi.Just as he reached the entrance of the Northern Courtyard, he saw Yue Er kneeling 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 became moved to tears: "Master Wu Shang, can you please beg the Duke not to kill my family's young miss? Wuwuwu."Wu Shang was confused. "The Ninth Miss?""Just now, the Prince carried my Young Miss away with a face full of killing intent. Yue Er is worried... Worried that Prince Jing will..."Before she could even finish speaking, the door to 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 also shocked.

Did the Prince find the antidote? However, thinking about how Xiao Lin had died in such a 'sudden moment' Wu Shang felt that the matter was rather strange.Behind Mo Youyou, Helian Yi coldly swept a glance at Wu Shang, hinting him to retreat first. Wu Shang understood and quickly disappeared outside of the Northern Courtyard.Mo Youyou walked toward Yue Er and coldly reprimanded her. "You shouldn't speak so carelessly when we, from the Mo residence, is not even comparable. As you can see, I'm fine now. It's even a shame that Royal Uncle risked his life only to save me."After she finished speaking, Mo Youyou turned around to look at Helian Yi, who was at least ten meters away from them.This time, she surely had to thank this man for her reincarnating. Just as she was about to disappear in despair, Helian Yi brought the Ninth Miss' body. And to save her, he had personally killed her.Mo Youyou muttered in her heart: "Miss Mo, thank you for choosing to let me live. I, Mo Youyou, will never forget this favor. From then on, you are me, and I am the Mo Residence's Ninth Miss! Whoever bullies you, I won't let them off easy! Rest in peace."Recovering from her thoughts,Mo Youyou smiled at Helian Yi.

Helian Yi could not believe that death could indeed bring a revival. What made him even more shocked was that when Mo Youyou woke up once again, a scarlet flame miraculously emerged from between her brows.

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

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

Hearing Mo Youyou's words, Yue Er was so thrilled that she cried. As long as her Young Miss was fine, she, Yue Er, can be pulled out by the Duke and battered to a pulp of twenty for disturbing him.Wiping her 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 suddenly laughed: "Royal Uncle is an understanding person! He knows that you are only thinking of your Master. He will surely not punish you." With that, she 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 just saved her life, and it had already turned to: "Saving your niece is a matter of course. If you don't save her, then heaven cannot tolerate this."Just now, her maidservant had offended him, and with her mouth, she said: "He is a wise prince." If he continued to quibble about punishing Yue Er, it would then turn to him being unreasonable!
