Chapter 139: Luring the Monarch

Bai Huan grew vigilant.
She slowly approached, ready to intervene immediately should she detect any harmful scent.
Zhen Xi stepped forward first. The noble young ladies who had been vying for the first round suddenly stopped in their tracks and exchanged glances—who would dare to compete with Zhen Xi in the art of fragrance?
"Sister Ji, only you can step up. After all, you are the future Crown Princess favored by the Empress."
"Lady Ji is renowned as the foremost talent in Chang'an, so naturally, this falls to you."
As Ji Qinghe, daughter of Grand Tutor Ji, hesitated—
Gu Yi spent all her time at Yifan Restaurant and rarely saw the sun, so naturally, her skin was fair.
Bang! The heavy door was kicked open. Warriors wearing the uniform of the Grant family poured in, ruthlessly trampling and beating the man who had attempted to harm their young master.
Li Hao strode back. Glancing at the closed door, he let out a roar and delivered a powerful kick. With a loud crash, the door swung open.
Someone stared silently at the floor. A few minutes ago, a stray water cannon from Elsa's near-berserk state had narrowly grazed the side of that person, but its immense destructive power directly pierced the load-bearing wall of the house shared by Elsa and Jianlu. Deprived of center of gravity, balance, and adequate structural support, the remaining walls simply collapsed.
Ignoring the wealthy second-generation heir entirely, Li Hao pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling faintly at Zhang Xiong.
With a verdict like this, no one could claim it was unfair. On the contrary, Zhao Si quietly breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Wu Rui also felt that Li Ning's judgment was thoroughly fair, leaving no room for even a shred of disrespect. Both parties decided to let go of their past grudges, and the matter was thus settled.
"The Emperor has arrived!" Following the shrill cry, everyone immediately dropped to their knees, shouting long live the Emperor, and cleared a path.
As the elevator doors opened, a man in black supported an elderly person as they stepped out. Li Hao immediately took hold of the elder and hoisted him onto his back.
"You jest, it means you're fine. I thought you'd be crying and making a fuss," Lan Nuo said playfully, taking a sip of water.
Outside, Mu Zhihan's knees ached so severely she could not move. Curled up on the sofa, she buried her head in a quilt and sobbed, not daring to let out a sound.
As it happened, Xue Rengui intercepted a supply train belonging to Liu Biao's army. Seizing the opportunity, he played the generous benefactor, distributing all those military supplies, which originally belonged to Liu Biao, among the common people of Nieyang City. This single gesture caused Xue Rengui's reputation to spread rapidly across the entire Nanyang Commandery.
Ding Jingyi was slightly startled, never expecting that ordinary tickets originally costing a few hundred would be scalped up to ten thousand each by ticket scalpers. It seemed Lin Feng's popularity was truly immense.
The dark roof of the car and the glaring light filtering through the window pane and casting reflections upon her face combined to produce a thoroughly uncomfortable sensation.
As a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, Su Mingguang naturally felt his heart soften at this sight, yet he could not possibly agree to such a request on Lin Feng's behalf.
Watching them flee, Ye Fan finally let out a breath of relief, collapsing weakly to the ground and gasping for heavy breaths.
It had been quite a long time since Lin Feng last saw Lin Zhiling, as she had been continuously shooting photobooks.
Accustomed to being the overlords of the gaming world! Revered as gods within the realm of games! Whether in RPGs, turn-based games, or online multiplayer worlds, where they had always enjoyed immense fame, when had their titles ever been usurped by others?
Their very first suspicion pointed to Chen Yang. Presumably, only Chen Yang would dare to pull off such a stunt, and the mere speculation felt astonishing at the time.
However, people in the antique circle assumed that Grand Councilor Zhang had misjudged, believing that the jade rat was by no means worth ten thousand taels of silver. Of course, fleecing a high-ranking official of ministerial rank from the Great Qing Dynasty was still considered quite an amusing anecdote within the antique community.
Inside the taxi, the two of them had actually sobered up slightly. Taking advantage of the opportunity while Lin Feng was chatting with the driver, they aligned their plans and decided to seduce and capture Lin Feng right at the apartment. Thus, the subsequent scene unfolded.
