Bab 568: Chapter 340: Murong Xue'er's Complete Compromise_2

Having come to her senses, Murong Xue'er said expressionlessly, "This is the Emperor's decision. As Her Majesty's maidservant, I only need to obey her command, without contemplating the whys."

Lu Chen snorted with laughter, then also picked up his teacup and took a sip. "You really are a handy tool for the Yue Emperor, not thinking about anything."

Murong Xue'er then asked, "In your view, Prince, why would the Emperor send me to the North Country?"

No sooner had Murong Xue'er finished speaking than Lu Chen put down his teacup, raised his hand, and, pinching Murong Xue'er's chin, gazed at her cold, stunningly beautiful face.

"The reason the Yue Emperor sent you is because you are beautiful enough to pique my interest, and beyond that, there's another very important reason."

Murong Xue'er asked, "What reason?"

Lu Chen smiled, then let go of Murong Xue'er's chin and stood up, walking over to the bed. Arriving at the bedside, Lu Chen sat on the edge of the bed.
