I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 27 Catching Them Off Guard

The man turned around in response, and Zhongli Yueluo exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!"

Yan Ruoyu cupped her hands in a respectful gesture: "Princess."

Zhongli Yueluo looked at Zhongli Quanhuang and asked, "Father, what is this?"

Zhongli Quanhuang sat in the chair: "Yueluo, I summoned Yan Shaojun because I heard that he saved you."

"Father, aren't you afraid of disrupting the balance by doing this?"

Emperor Zhongli Quan was surprised that Zhongli Yueluo would say such a thing, and he was somewhat pleased.

Yan Ruoyu held the Xuan Bone Fan in her hand: "Princess, there is no need to worry."

He then cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Demon Lord, I shall take my leave now."

Polite and refined, he disappeared into the night.

Zhongli Yueluo knew that Yan Ruoyu and his father were not talking about her.

When she came in, there was a clear flash of panic in their eyes.

Moreover, Yan Ruoyu went to great lengths to disguise herself, so something must be going on!

Seeing Yan Ruoyu walk away, she bowed and said, "Father."

"It's already night, what brings you to my palace?"

"Your Majesty, I only wanted to remind you that it's time to change the incense. Smelling this incense too much is bad for your health."

The incense burning in his palace was personally prepared by Yin Manling; he actually loved her.

But I don't completely trust him, and when I heard his daughter say that, my heart sank.

"Yueluo, you didn't come here just for this matter, did you?"

"Father, I would like to invite you to Yuanyu Pavilion tomorrow."

That's Zhong Liyu's courtyard. Why did you send him there?

I heard they had some friction these past few days. They are all his closest relatives, and he can't take sides.

She must have suffered some injustice; she's going to ask him to settle things tomorrow.

“Yueluo, you’ve reached the age to choose a husband. It’s time to be more mature. Although you have some disagreements with your sister, she is still your own sister.”

Zhongli Yueluo really wanted to tell her the cruel truth about her father.

But if I say it now, it will only enrage him, and he simply won't believe it.

Her lips twitched: "You'll know when Father arrives tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she left before Zhongli Quanhuang could say another word.

After she left, Zhongli Quanhuang stood in front of the incense burner, pondering for a long time, and finally poured a cup of tea into it.

Su Fengjun returned to the Ghost Clan Inn, where Su Fengling had his eyes narrowed and a smile on his face.

"Brother, how did you get along with the princess tonight? I think she's a very interesting person."

He shook his head. He didn't know if it made sense, but he felt that the princess was quite stupid.

Su Fengling, however, kept pressing him, "Brother, say something."

"She is...a person."

"Pfft!" What kind of evaluation is that? It seems that winning over the princess's heart still depends on him.

He smiled and was about to put his arm around Su Fengjun's shoulder when he heard a noise outside. His eyes narrowed and a fierce glint appeared in them.

The plum blossom dart was thrown from the hand, and a cry of "Ah!" came from the darkness.

Su Fengling moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of the person outside in the blink of an eye. He licked his lips and said, "Tell me, whose person are you!"

Then, a sword was pointed at the person on the ground: "I told you, I'll leave you a whole corpse." He smiled, but his eyes flashed with cold light!

The people on the ground were the Black Deer Guards sent by Gongshu Liang.

They looked at each other for a while, but there was no other way. For the sake of their families, they had to face death. They didn't say anything and died from the poison.

Su Fengling looked regretful. He hadn't even made a move yet, and he was already dead outside the Ghost Clan Inn. What bad luck!

With a light tap of his fingertip, a ball of green fire landed on the person, and soon turned into a handful of ash.

The remaining Black Deer Guards also returned to Gongshu's residence one after another, but they brought back only useless information.

This time, however, he didn't fly into a rage. Instead, he held the fox-scented pill in his hand and grinned wickedly.

"Zhongli Yueluo, Zhongli Yueluo, let's see how you escape this time!"

Shortly after, he received another message informing him that he didn't need to go to Yuanyue Pavilion the next day, but instead should go directly to Yuanyu Pavilion.

Upon learning the details, he didn't care that his reputation would be ruined after this incident; on the contrary, he was even more looking forward to it.

What happened between him and her at Yuanyu Pavilion? If word gets out, will she still want to inherit the Demon Lord's throne?

It's probably uncertain, but she can keep them firmly in their hands.

After all, that woman was her own mother, and perhaps her blood would have a miraculous effect.

Just thinking about it makes me feel great, and I smile.

He had a servant bring him wine, drank three or five cups, then lay down to rest, already looking forward to tomorrow afternoon.

Yan Ruoyu returned to the Zheng Clan Inn and with a wave of her hand, removed her disguise.

The silver-clad guard beside him asked, "Where did the young lord go?"

"I went to see the Demon Lord, but unfortunately the little princess interrupted me before we could finish our discussion."

"Has the Demon Lord agreed to help us attack the Ghost Clan?"

Yan Ruoyu shook her head. In fact, they didn't have much of a grudge against the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan.

However, the Ghost Sorrow Abyss grew larger and larger, affecting the safety of the border people of the Zheng Clan.

If possible, he would like to resolve this peacefully.

"We'll talk about everything after the marriage selection. Maybe we can discuss it with those two young masters."

"Yes."

After Yan Ruoyu and the other Silver Ferocious Guards withdrew, he opened his Xuan Bone Fan to cover the lower half of his face, his phoenix eyes narrowing.

He pondered, recalling what Zhongli Quanhuang had told him: if he wanted Ximoshan to help someone, he first had to win Zhongli Yueluo's favor.

After all, she is the next successor of the Western Demon Mountain, and he will gradually transfer power to her.

When he asked why the eldest princess wasn't the one to inherit West Demon Mountain, he remained silent.

These are all secrets of West Demon Mountain; he had only heard them from the older generation.

The Demon Lord of West Demon Mountain's first wife died mysteriously after giving birth to the second princess.

Then Yin Manling, who was outside, returned and took her place, bringing back a princess with her.

There was a lot of gossip circulating about it for a while, but then it all fizzled out.

He could guess how deep the water was in there.

Nothing happened that night; everything was peaceful and normal until the next morning.

Zhongli Yueluo sat up in bed, while He Yuhuan was already sitting at the table eating.

Today is a day for watching a good show, and I even found a red dress in my closet that I don't wear often.

Her hair was styled in a low bun, adorned with a gold hairpin, and she wore a rather vibrant red makeup look, which added a touch of mature elegance to her playful appearance.

"Yu Huan, don't follow me today. If I don't come back this afternoon, something has happened. You must come and save me."

"Why did this happen? Can't we please prevent this from happening?"

Bi's eyes were full of doubt; she couldn't understand how Bi could predict what would happen next.

"Just remember what I just said."

"I understand, Master."

After changing her clothes, she opened the door and saw Tao Xia Wu Luo standing there respectfully with her head bowed.

They never seem to get tired, always wearing the same expression.

"Let's go, I want to see my sister as soon as possible."

"But Princess, it's only morning. Didn't you say you'd go in the afternoon?" Tao Xia was a little embarrassed, as the Fox Fragrance Pill hadn't been applied yet.

"Am I a princess or are you a princess? Do I have to go out at the time you plan?" Her tone was arrogant, and her round eyes glared angrily.

"Princess, we dare not."

Zhongli Yueluo thought to herself, "I'm going to catch you off guard."

Then he looked around and realized that there must be spies from the Zheng Clan and the Fengling Ghost Clan in his courtyard.

She shouted again, "I'm going to my sister's place right now!" Tao Xia Wu Luo didn't know who she was shouting to.
