Chapter 755 (Fourth Prince)
Mu Ran took out a healing ointment and applied it to Tang Wei's arm. Tang Wei bit her cherry lips tightly, seeming to be in pain.
"Endure a bit; it might hurt a little," Mu Ran said softly.
Tang Wei nodded, showing a convincing expression.
After a while, the medicine was applied, and Tang Wei stood up, saying, "Miss, thank you. I'll go and do my work now."
Mu Ran glanced at Tang Wei and said softly, "Stay by my side this month."
"Ah!" Tang Wei exclaimed, appearing somewhat panicked.
Some things shouldn't be pursued actively; they should wait until Mu Ran brought it up herself, and Tang Wei knew how to handle it well.
"I already sent away the maid, and I need someone to serve me."
"I... I'm afraid I won't do well," Tang Wei displayed a lack of confidence, fitting her character setting perfectly.
Mu Ran forced a smile, "You'll learn with time."
"Can I really? Miss..." Tang Wei asked with an anxious expression, playing her part convincingly.
Mu Ran nodded, and Tang Wei finally showed a "smile," and her plan was gradually unfolding.
Meanwhile, Divine Steppes issued a message stating that Mu Ran had become a Saintess and was now a Heavenly Dao Warrior!
However, there was no mention of the marriage proposal, as they were still wary of the Supreme Spirit Sect.
Nevertheless, the entire Divine Steppes was elated. A Heavenly Dao Warrior! Such rare talent only appeared once in a hundred years.
To have such talent emerge in the Divine Steppes was indeed a great fortune; she would become a dominant figure in the future!
The entire Divine Steppes was immersed in a festive atmosphere.
In the king's study, Ding Wenfu was granted an audience.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the Saintess is very delicate. I believe Your Majesty should think it over carefully," Ding Wenfu respectfully said.
Emperor Feng Yong Chang was practising calligraphy and asked calmly, "Why is it delicate?"
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Spirit Sect will never let go of the Saintess. After all, she's a Heavenly Dao Warrior, a once-in-a-century talent. If Your Majesty forcefully arranges this marriage, and the Saintess returns a few words of complaint, we might end up losing more than we gain." Ding Wenfu was doing everything in his power to harm Mu Ran for his own benefit.
Feng Yong Chang stopped his brush, put it aside, and walked to the side to sit down, picking up a teacup and blowing on it before taking a sip. He said with a slight frown, "Mu Ran is my Heavenly Dao Warrior. Even if she dies, she'll still be mine!"
Hearing this, Ding Wenfu's heart rejoiced; it seemed that the emperor had no intention of letting Mu Ran go, even if it meant obtaining just her dead body.
The emperor was ruthless!
"Let's see how things unfold tonight," Feng Yong Chang said softly. It seemed like he had rested enough as he returned to practise his calligraphy. Ding Wenfu bowed and withdrew.
As he watched Ding Wenfu leave, Feng Yong Chang slammed his pen fiercely onto the white paper.
"Mu Ran! Don't force me! I can take back what I give!" he muttered in a low and threatening voice.
In another part of the palace, the Fourth Prince, Feng Yun, sat on a stone stool, looking at a potted plant in front of him, seemingly waiting for the flowers to bloom.
One had to admit that Feng Yun was quite handsome, with a majestic aura and a stable temperament, radiating a strong masculinity from his brows.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, the Fourth Prince!" a eunuch suddenly ran over and knelt down to convey the message.
"What is there to congratulate?" Feng Yun asked casually.
"Your Highness, the extraordinary Mu Ran has been named the Saintess by His Majesty. She has become a Heavenly Dao Warrior, and His Majesty has expressed his intention for the Saintess to marry you," the eunuch reported.
Feng Yun's expression changed after hearing the news, but it wasn't a happy change; he seemed worried about something.
"Alright, I understand. You can leave now," he said.
The eunuch was puzzled; why didn't the prince react to such good news? Could it be that he didn't like the Saintess? That shouldn't be the case.
Feng Yun didn't dislike the Saintess; it was because he was not originally from this world!
He had transmigrated to this place 18 years ago, and this was his biggest secret. He even acquired a summoning system that could summon talented and capable generals, though he hadn't summoned one yet, but it was close!
He never expected that his father, the emperor, would want that extraordinary woman to marry him. If so, his secret would be exposed, and that woman must not find out, as he was destined to be a significant player in this world.
As a transmigrator like himself, he was bound to be favoured by beautiful women. Even if he didn't actively pursue them, they would come to him. Just like Mu Ran, this was a very normal beginning.
However, he needed to see if Mu Ran was trustworthy. After all, she would hold a high position in the future, and the women around him should not be mere ornaments.
But Mu Ran was not a mere ornament; she had reached Heavenly Dao Warrior level without the help of a system. She was undoubtedly a formidable woman, and such a woman might be difficult to handle.
If he managed to get her, she could become a powerful ally. So, he needed to see if she was qualified for that.
Meanwhile, Wei Chang was indeed happy; Tang Wei had finally managed to infiltrate. He also learned that Mu Ran was a Heavenly Dao Warrior.
Why hadn't they noticed before?
Well, to Wei Chang, they all seemed similar, as Heavenly Dao Warriors were still too weak in his eyes.
Regarding Tang Wei's suggestion, Wei Chang would report it truthfully for Ye Hua to decide.
At that moment, Ye Hua was lying in his sister-in-law's arms, and Qing Yutong happily peeled grapes for him and fed them to him one by one.
"Wei Chang, are you saying this girl named Mu Ran can be of use to me?" Ye Hua communicated with Wei Chang.
Wei Chang respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Honor. Based on the current situation, this girl indeed has talent and rich experience in governance."
Ye Hua ate the grapes Qing Yutong fed him, "What I need is loyalty. Can this girl, Mu Ran, be loyal? You should have an answer in your heart."
"So, Tang Wei proposed a suggestion. I wanted to inform you about it."
"Go ahead."
Upon hearing Wei Chang's suggestion, Ye Hua stood up slowly, "You mean send Cang Konghong over?"
"Yes, if Cang Konghong comes, he can be of some help. If something happens, even better. We need to untangle certain knots," Wei Chang explained.
"Let me think about it for a moment," Ye Hua said softly.
"Yes!"
After cutting off the communication with Wei Chang, Ye Hua tapped his fingers lightly on the bed.
"What's bothering you, brother-in-law?" Qing Yutong obediently sat behind Ye Hua, gently relieving his stress.
"Yutong, how do you think Cang Konghong can untangle his knots?" Ye Hua curiously asked, wanting to ensure harmony among his team. Though Cang Konghong seemed normal now, Ye Hua could see that he held grudges, and he hoped that all his subordinates would genuinely enjoy happiness from their hearts.
Qing Yutong suddenly hugged Ye Hua and gave him a kiss, "Of course, it'll be through a new love affair."
Ye Hua chuckled, "With Cang Konghong's personality, who would like him?"
"Brother-in-law, you don't understand. Different people have different tastes. Yue Hua doesn't understand Cang Konghong, but maybe some other woman will," Qing Yutong said.
