Chapter 1338 “Aiming at Di Ling Yan? (7)”
“I’m going to tell my mother that you guys are abusing me and won’t let me eat enough…”
Looking at this small silver fox rolling around on the ground and making that face, these men just didn’t know what else to do.
“This… Prince, why don’t you go to the kitchen and steal some food for yourself? We will pretend we didn’t see you. Then when the king seeks to punish us, it will only be for watching over you poorly and not indulging you in the crime.”
A visible burst of light explodes out of Jin Tian’s greedy eyes then. Almost jumping up from the ground, he toddles toward the kitchen with immense vigor.
This utterly and literally stupefied the guards in the background. They knew the little prince was a glutton, but not this gluttonous…
……
Outside the palace, Mu Xue was still very much disgruntled as she kicked the rocks along the courtyard.
“Mu Xue, what’s wrong? Why are you acting so unhappy and kicking the rocks here?” Yu Yao asks after coming out of the room.
“Mother!” Tearing up instantly as she throws herself into her mother’s arm, “It’s Mu Ying that bitch again! She claims to not want the king and that she didn’t fall for him, but she’s been doing everything in her ability to prevent me from getting close to the two kids!”
That woman must be like me, she wants the king for herself, otherwise why else would she keep chasing me away?
“Shhh, you need to keep your voice down.” Hurrying to pacify her youngest daughter, Yu Yao quickly scans the area in case anyone was eavesdropping, “Don’t let your father hear these things, he has always been more lenient on your older sister. If he knows what she intends to do, your father might even help her with the idea.”
Locking hard onto her own mother’s gaze, Mu Xue couldn’t refute that idea. “I know Mother, I know Father prefers Mu Ying over me. It’s because her talent is better than mine, but guess what Mother, I overheard something while I was at the city’s gate earlier. Those people from the Celestial Palace are after the little princess, they want her blood to save some woman on their side.”
What?
Surprised by the news, Yu Yao had to take a moment to collect herself.
Those people are after the little princess?
“So…” A scheming light flickers within the lass’s eye, “what if I kidnap the little princess and then frame it onto Mu Ying, how about it?”
Yu Yao didn’t answer her, only shaking her head after contemplating the issue.
“Mu Xue, you need to know who your real enemy is! I know you hate that Mu Ying and want to marry the king, but what your plan will do is incriminate our entire tribe! Furthermore, her facials are nowhere as good as yours, she can’t seduce the king with her face. Now that leaves only the demon queen, she’s your real enemy!”
Reflecting over the points as well, Mu Xue knew her mother was right on the topic. That’s right, I look way better than her, why should I fret? I only need to meet the king and then get him under my thumb!
“Then what am I supposed to do?”
“If you’re going to the effort of framing Mu Ying then you might as well frame the queen instead. We all know the king loves his children dearly, imagine the queen being at fault for the child’s death.”
