Empress Running Away with the Ball

Chapter 692: Thousand year old snow ginseng

After he drank several cups of wine, that white jade face of his had a faint blush it it. Lined with the silk scarf on his neck, it was like a shining jade tree. Not only did it not seem weird, it added a bit of elegance to him.

Mo Chuan thought that after Chu Shao Yang was hurt, he would return to the palace. He did not expect him to return to palace hall like him and continue drinking wine with the ministers. He secretly felt a bit surprised.

Thinking about it, it was good that he didn’t leave. If he left while being filled with anger, he might have vented his anger on her.

He could not help feeling deep remorse over the reckless words he had just said.

He should have known that Chu Shao Yan was an easily angered beast and he shouldn’t have irritated him. The more concerned he was about her, the more he would anger Chu Shao Yang.

If he really wanted what’s good for her, he would never mention her name in front of Chu Shao Yang again.

It was all a mistake from being drunk!

Mo Chuan had sobered. He pushed away the wine cup and did not drink again.

“The East Qin Crown Prince has arrived!”

Suddenly a clear voice sounded from the entrance of the banquet hall and that voice shocked all the West Chu ministers.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the entrance.

Hearing the sound of boots, a tall and sturdy black clothed man appeared in front of everyone. His face looked handsome and his black cloak fluttered in the wind.

He stood at the door like a majestic goshawk with its wings blooming.

“Yi, it really is the East Qin Crown Prince!”

“You’re right! But why is he here?”

“This is our West Chu’s celebration banquet and he lost to our Ding Yuan Princess. If it was me, I wouldn’t have the face to appear here.”

The ministers couldn’t help whispering to each other.

Na Mu Cuo’s head was held high as he looked straight forward. His hawk like eyes looked across the room as if he was looking for someone.

Although the ministers’ voices were low, he heard every single word. He pretended not to hear a thing and ignored everything.

He quickly looked around before moving forward with large steps. He walked in front of Mo Chuan’s throne and bent down.

“Greetings to the emperor. Na Mu Cuo has come late, I ask for the emperor’s forgiveness.”

Mo Chuan slightly raised his hand and said, “The crown prince is too courteous. It is fortunate you were able to attend this banquet.”

The two of them politely exchanged a few words before Na Mu Cuo sat down in the seat close to Mo Chuan.

Mo Chuan knew that him suddenly coming here meant he wanted to do something, but he said nothing. He did not take the initiative to ask anything and discussed the East Qin customs with people on the side.

As expected, after saying a few words to the people on the side, Na Mu Cuo began to lose his patience.

“Your majesty, I heard this banquet was specially prepared for your country’s Ding Yuan Princess, but why have I not seen her yet?”

“According to King Ding Yuan, the princess’ body is not well, so she is resting up.” Mo Chuan replied with any changes in his expression. He took a quick glance over at Chu Shao Yang.

When Na Mu Cuo heard this, he felt this was not unexpected at all.

He clapped his hand and the follower behind him immediately raised a bow which he placed in front of Mo Chuan before opening it in front of everyone.

“This prince has a thousand year old snow ginseng here which was hard to obtain. It can cure all illness and injuries, and this prince wants to give it to the princess. This prince believes that after she has had this snow ginseng, she will surely be cured.”

What! Thousand year old snow ginseng!

Hearing these words, the expressions of all the West Chu ministers changed as they became unsettled.
