Chapter 86: Collusion (3)
Mu Tianhua and Mu Ziyao's mother had no background, so she could only try her best to win over the people of the Duanmu family, so she was always very obedient to Duanmu Lei.
The royal family is in decline and foreigners are in power. This is the current situation of the Qinglong Empire.
Although Duanmu Lei suffered a lot because of Princess Heqing's incident last time, he still held the position of commander of the guards. After dealing with Duanmu Xue's funeral, he entered the palace.
However, although Duanmu Lei always looked down on the good-for-nothing prince, he had even less affection for the Fourth Prince, who was more talented than himself and more valued by the Regent.
He thought that the fact that the prince did not denounce him in front of the regent last time meant that the prince had already submitted to him.
Of course he was unhappy when he saw the Fourth Prince being so arrogant!
Mu Tianhua's thoughts were similar to his. Although Duanmu Lei did not have his talent, he had the status of a young marquis of the Duanmu family, which completely surpassed the royal family. This still made Mu Tianhua jealous and crazy!
But at the same time, I am also very wary.
"Young Marquis, long time no see. I'm so sad about your sister's matter." Mu Tianhua restrained his arrogant attitude in front of Wei Ning and said politely.
"The Fourth Prince does not need to worry about our family's affairs." Duanmu Lei walked over with a piece of grass in his mouth, his eyes swept around the pretty Mu Ziyao wantonly.
Mu Ziyao turned her face away with a blush, feeling extremely disgusted but unable to show it on her face.
Mu Tianhua was frustrated and felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Wei Ning and thought that since he couldn't get angry with Duanmu Lei, couldn't he take it out on this loser?
"I was just teaching this loser a lesson. Humph! Such a stupid person really brings shame to the Qinglong Empire!"
Wei Ning listened expressionlessly, then said seriously: "Fourth brother, you are a seventh-level master, a genius since childhood. There is no one more powerful than you in the Qinglong Empire. In your eyes, other people are naturally trash!"
Although Mu Tianhua didn't mean that, after hearing her nonsense, it seemed that there was some truth to it...
Although he had always thought so in his heart, it was just a thought because Duanmu Lei was standing next to him.
Pooh!
Duanmu Lei spat out the grass in his mouth and said viciously, "Fourth Prince, you look down on us, don't you? In your eyes, we are all trash."
"Of course not, young marquis, don't listen to this rubbish..." Mu Tianhua wanted to explain.
"Why does it sound so harsh to me when you keep calling me trash ?"
"This..." Mu Tianhua couldn't hold back his expression. If his face wasn't covered with gauze, people would have been able to appreciate his panicked expression.
Duanmu Lei pointed at Wei Ning and said, "I'm telling you, the Crown Princess will be mine from now on. Whoever messes with her is messing with me!"
Mu Tianhua and Mu Ziyao both widened their eyes at the same time, looking as if they were swallowing an ostrich egg alive.
What?
Did I hear it right?
Duanmu Lei and the prince?
In the past, Duanmu Lei had beaten the prince so badly that his legs were broken more than once. In the entire Qinglong Empire, Duanmu Lei was the most rude to the prince!
But now, he is going to protect the prince instead?
Are you kidding me?
"Young Marquis, she, she is a..." Mu Ziyao couldn't help but speak.
Duanmu Lei gave Mu Ziyao a cold look and she immediately shut up.
"I can do whatever I want, and no one can tell me what to do!" Duanmu Lei said, and waved to Wei Ning, "Follow me!"
