Chapter 52: A Woman's Love
"Lord Wang, Miss Murong is not dead."
Seeing Gongsun Mingzhao looking at him for a moment, Tianmu said truthfully: "At the time of the execution, the saint came and took away Miss Murong."
Gongsun Mingzhao thought of what Murong Li said at the beginning, frowned and asked, "Is there any news about her in the palace now?"
"Recently, the palace has been preparing for the peony banquet ten days later, and there has been no news since Miss Murong was brought back to the palace.
“…… Since it's okay, it's fine. ”
"Lord Wang, my subordinates asked the kitchen to make you a lot of hot food, you haven't eaten well for several days, why don't you get up and eat some first?"
"Let's put it first, this king will eat it later, you guys retreat first, let this king rest for a while."
Tianmu saw Gongsun Mingzhao close his eyes and turned his back to rest, and he didn't dare to disturb anymore, so he left the room with Li Yan, until he came to the prince's room again in the evening, and sure enough, he saw that the table of food had not moved at all, and Tianmu had no choice but to let people take away all the cold meals.
A carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and from the carriage came a woman in a green shirt, a woman with a double bun, about thirteen or fourteen years old, she stood firm beside the carriage, and saw the coachman put the mat in place, she lifted the curtain on the carriage and said to the people inside.
"Miss, we've arrived at the palace gate, come down quickly."
A slender jade hand stretched out from the curtain, and the owner of the jade hand slowly got off the car with the maid's hand.
The woman looked a little older than the maid beside her, dressed in a pale pink gauze skirt and her hair tied into a bun. Her skin is fair, and her facial features are beautiful. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised to reveal an elegant and appropriate smile, and a pair of bright eyes looked so pretty, which made people feel gentle and close.
Gongsun Mingzhao looked at these eyes for a moment, and then returned to his detached and indifferent expression, and quickly let go of his hand after helping the person who almost fell.
Liu Manru's cheeks were slightly red, if it weren't for the night cover, I'm afraid she would have made a joke a long time ago. She looked at the man's handsome and elegant appearance and demeanor, and her heart was already throbbing.
She saluted the man and said gratefully: "Thank you Gongzi for helping in time, otherwise if Manru falls in front of this palace gate, I am afraid that she will have no face to continue to participate in this peony banquet."
"No problem."
Gongsun Mingzhao bowed slightly, but his eyes didn't look at her again, but he just walked towards the palace with the black-clothed guards behind him.
Seeing that her young lady was still looking at others intently, Xiaoyan pulled the corner of Liu Manru's clothes and reminded: "Miss, that boy is far away, you can't still stand here and not go in, otherwise the old man will be in a hurry and scold Xiaoyan."
Liu Manru suddenly felt embarrassed, she had always been knowledgeable, and this was the first time she had done such a thing that would lose her identity as the eldest lady, so she hurriedly settled down and said, "Well, I know Xiaoyan, let's go in and find my father first."
