Chapter 2026: The Wolf King 21

“What?”

The emperor stood up with anger in his eyes. “That girl is so bold?”

The empress lowered her gaze, hiding the cold light in her eyes.

The emperor treated her coldly, but he was still very protective of her.

It was only because she was that woman’s best sister.

“Emperor, it is rare for Qing’er to be attracted to a girl, and I can’t be so harsh to her. After all, it is the first time he cares so much about a woman, and I am afraid that he’ll be unhappy if I say so much. Qing’er was also there that day, but it seemed like that girl had bewitched him. There is nothing I can do now.”

She raised her gaze and smiled bitterly.

The emperor frowned.

‘Qing’er had allowed that girl to bully the empress?

‘But the empress is his aunt, Lan’er’s only sister…’

“This matter is indeed Qing’er’s fault. Empress, you don’t have to be sad. Qing’er is gentle and kind, and he rarely met any girls, so that’s probably why he has become like this. I will settle this matter later.”

The empress laughed coldly.

The emperor knew that Murong Qing had allowed that girl to bully her, but he still gave many excuses to back up Murong Qing.

However… Her plan worked.

Now, the emperor disliked that girl.

She would never allow a girl who disobeyed her to enter the imperial family!

“Emperor…” The empress looked up gently. “Don’t be too harsh with Qing’er. That girl was the reason he became so. I’m worried about Qing’er… He’s still young and does not understand the human’s heart. Moreover, some people would do anything for power and wealth.

“That girl knows a lot about the imperial family. She knew that I am not Qing’er’s real mother, and she also knew that Qing’er is your most favored son. That’s why she dares to be so arrogant and bully others.

“I’m not worried about anything else, but I’m worried that Qing’er will change because of her. I have spent many years teaching Qing’er well. If he changes because of that girl, how should I explain to my sister when I die?”

The empress gritted her teeth.

As expected, the emperor’s face sank after she mentioned the late empress. He pursed his lips; his expression remained cold.

“Guard, ask Qing’er to come to the palace now and get that girl too. I want to see what kind of girl made him so obsessed! He even dared to disrespect his aunt.”

Fourth Prince Manor.

Murong Qing stood in the courtyard. His face was still a bit pale, especially when he was under the sunlight.

He looked at the little girl, who was resting on the back of a wolf not far away, and he couldn’t help but smile a little.

Even his eyes were filled with gentleness.

Looking at her relationship with the wolf king made him a little jealous again.

However, he thought that it was just a wolf and could not help but laugh at himself.

‘A spirit beast is just a spirit beast. Maiden Xia Xia is a human… So why should I envy a spirit beast?’

At this moment, a servant came in a hurry. “Your Highness, the emperor asked you to go to the palace and asked you to bring Maiden Xia Xia with you.”

Upon hearing this, Murong Qing was first stunned. He turned to look at the young girl in front of him and pondered for a moment. “Let’s go.”

“Your Highness, but Maiden Xia Xia…”

Murong Qing smiled and shook his head. “Maiden Xia Xia doesn’t like being forced. She will go on her own if she wants to, but if I ask her now… Maybe… She might not talk to me again.”

He could understand this little girl’s temper at a glance. He was afraid that he might not have a chance to stay by her side if he forced her.

Even watching her from afar might be difficult for him…
