Chapter 43: Who was the Real King?

Proofreader: Prof. Zhu Yuan

Never knowing that she had been in big trouble, Ruan Jiujiu was still in a good mood now.

There were two reasons why she came back with Beiming Xaun this time. The first, she had no choice but to obey his order; the second, she must depend on Beiming Xuan, who was so powerful, so that she could revenge for her sufferings and insults these years.

Looking at the frightening face of Ruan Qingqing, she was really comfortable.

“My sweat sister, I would like to show my great gratitude to you that sent me to the Yun Palace. By the way, the Lord Ming is also very grateful to you!”

Ruan Jiujiu’s eyes squinted with laughter, and the brighter her smile was, the more chilling Ruan Qingqing could feel.

Not to mention what she had done to Ruan Jiujiu before, she clearly caught the profound meaning from her last words, which was also very vicious.

The Lord Ming was also very grateful to her?

What Beiming Xuan resented most was women who courted him assiduously, and he was not a fool that would believe the blandishments of Ruan Jiujiu. If he was let know that it was her idea to send Ruan Jiujiu to Yun Palace for taking advantages of him, he would kill her mercilessly.

Ruan Qingqing was not afraid of Ruan Jiujiu, but of the man behind her.

She clenched her teeth, body trembling, and fell down on the ground.

Her reaction surprised Ruan Jiujiu a bit.

But she smiled then, and renewed a new understanding of Beiming Xuan’s power.

It seemed that having Beiming Xuan as her backer, she could achieve something.

Actually she didn’t realize that her image in others’ eyes had a complete change.

Although she made a trap for Ruan Qingqing on the street that day, it was not an event to others.

But from this moment, she was a hero who saved Beiming Xuan’s life instead of the useless Miss Ruan from Ruan Clan. People could sense her difference by seeing her standing there.

Looking at Ruan Qingqing, who was lying on the ground, Ruan Jiujiu was so proud that she was about to step on her, but a cold scolding burst out, “Enough!”

So icy cold!

This word was like a knife made by ice, making her dumb in a flash, and her face was stiff too.

She looked around, but found others having no response. It turned out that Beiming Xuan was using a secret sound to scold her specially.

Niggard, can’t you see her so giddy?

It is your idea that puts me in the spot-light! I just use your power to frighten her!

Ruan Jiujiu complained in her mind, but not dared to say a single word out. Then she smiled like a loyal servant and stood aside, “Please, my lord.”

Suddenly, everyone became quiet, and they could even hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground.

Beiming Xuan, the Lord Ming was coming out!

The curtain of his coach lifted, and a man in the black was stepping out, who was caught by every one’s expectant eyes.

In the backlight, this mighty ice-cold man standing there like a perfect sculpture without a word or a move, and his momentum awed everyone there.

His dignity was as honorable as the divine god!

His arrogance was as cold as the thousand years iceberg!

This man, a walking legend, dazzled all of them and made them willing to worship.

“Long live the Lord Ming!” Their calling was louder than the thunder, ringing through clouds, and their fanaticism was like a prairie fire, enough to burn everything!

At this high time, the Emperor Tianlong was exposed to the fanatical fire on the city, and he could even hear his envy sizzling in his mind.

Who was the real king?

Beiming Xuan... These three characters came out of the slit of his clenched teeth, but he still used a kind and soft tone to comfort, “My dear brother, you must be very tired.”

“Thank you so much, my elder brother. Sorry to bother you about welcoming me in person” Beiming Xuan raised his head, with his hands behind him. Although he was standing under the Emperor Tiansheng, it seemed that he was the one who was looking down on everything.

The officials must kneel in front of the Emperor, but Beiming Xuan didn’t have to. He had been allowed by the special edict that he needn’t to do so.

Although the Emperor Tiansheng was uncomfortable about him before, he had never been so angry with him like today.

Beiming Xuan needn’t kneel to him, so did it mean that he was equal to the Emperor?

Did that mean there were two kings in this country?

However, as the emperor, he must control his anger, no matter how ferocious it was. He smiled slightly, and gently said, “My brother, you have contributed a lot to our country, and it is my responsibility to welcome you in person. This time, I have carefully picked up three precious gifts to reward you.”

He specially stressed the word “reward”, aiming at showing that they were different. But Beiming Xuan didn’t hear that, and his cold face showed no response to him, so were the others around him. The Emperor was angry.

Because at this moment, the others all looked at the three big boxes carried by servants under the instruction of Wu An. They became more curious about those boxes.

They must be the most precious treasures for the Lord Ming, and they would be so lucky to have a look.

“Thanks.” Beiming Xuan replied.

He was not interested in those treasures at all, so it must be impossible for him to open the boxes, as well as to let others have a look.

When everyone was disappointed, the Emperor, with a secret sinister hint in his eyes, said, “Wu An, open the boxes to show the Lord Ming what kind of treasures they are.”

Normally, the Emperor should directly give him the gifts if he found that he was not interested in them, but this time, he even asked to open them. Everyone there felt something fishy.

But Wu An ordered the servants to open the three boxes suddenly.

There was a screen with embroidery in the first box.

This exquisite screen was made with white jade as its frame, and a embroidery pattern in the pattern of butterflies over flowers on it. When they looked at it, a fragrance of flower flew into their noses, and the butterflies were flying in front of their eyes.

Was it alive?

“My God, this is the Heavenly Embroidery, a craftsmanship lost hundred years ago ! It is said there is less than three pieces of such craft works! ”

Lost hundred years ago, and less than three left! If it was not a treasure, then what it was?

The crowd was excited, then they looked at the second one, and was shocked again.

In the box, there was a Chinese zither. It was so fine and quaint that people cannot help thinking of touching it. At this high time a wind passed, a wisp of zither music came out, touching the strings of their heart.

It was Yunmeng, millenniums old Chinese zither!

And it was more precious than the first one!

What was in the last one? Their eyes were full of expectation.

When it was opened, everyone took a deep breath!

There was a beauty in it!

A naked beautiful lady with her arms holding around her chest was sitting there with her legs reclining slightly. If not for her ingenious position, her private part would be seen by everyone.

“Wait, she’s not real, she’s a jade sculpture!” Someone shouted out when he found that, and others all stared at it.

This beauty was surely made by jade. But her skin was faintly rosy, and her face was carefully carved. Her eyes squinted, shining with light, and it seemed that such beautiful eyes would turn to you in the next second.
