《Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress》24
Advertisement
Liu Rushuang felt a pair of ice-cold eyes behind her and sneered eerily. She really couldn't understand what these women saw in a man with multiple wives.
Then, she glanced over at Minister Liu and thought about how he glared coldly, hit and cursed at her every time they crossed paths. Liu Rushuang smiled bitterly. To have a father like him is truly a frightening thing.
Minister Liu's eyes were subconsciously drawn to Liu Rushuang, causing the light in his eyes to dim a little.
That lowly songstress dared climb into his bed! He showed the biggest mercy for not immediately killing her. Deep down inside, he snorted coldy. Then, with a patronizing look on his face, he turned his head and waved his authoritative bluish-silver minister's robe.
Sitting next to him, Madam Liu shot Liu Rushuang a cold glance.
Liu Rushuang flashed a stiff smirk and a thin layer of ice thickened over her face.
Han Moze averted his gaze and saw the killer aura over Liu Rushuang's face and the incredibly darkened glow in her eyes.
She blinked innocently, and reverted to her usual uncaring demeanor.
For a split-second, Han Moze noticed Liu Rushuang's sadness, and his heart couldn't help but seize up.
This woman always seem to be able to affect his mood.
With no mood at all, he finished listening to introductions for the last five women.
After he confirmed every woman's family background and hobbies, Han Moze turned to Ouyang Xiu with a composed look on his face.
He shook his head slightly, as if he realized something. Then, he looked over at Ouyang Xiu and spoke with a slightly curious yet deep voice. "Why do I not see Princess Changping? Logically speaking, she must also be present today."
He wanted to see just how ordinary and unsophisticated this Princess Changping really was!

Ouyang Xiu heard what Han Moze said and averted his gaze to Liu Rushuang with disdain.
"Princess Changping, quickly step forward to meet the Emperor of Beiming," he ordered with a sullen look on his face.
The people in the hall couldn't help but look towards Liu Rushuang with eyes full of contempt. They really didn't know why the Emperor of Beiming wanted to see her.
Han Moze followed everyone's gazes towards Liu Rushuang and couldn't help but be stunned. Could this lady be Princess Changping?
Liu Rushuang's body clearly tensed up. She knew that the Emperor didn't want her to stand-in for this marriage anymore, so she knowingly didn't step forward. To her surprise, the Emperor of Beiming asked this question.
She slightly hung her head, got up, and flatly gave her respects. "Princess Changping at your majesty's service."
Han Moze's body trembled slightly for a moment, as he eyes widened and glared at Liu Rushuang who was only two steps away from him. His hands curled into tight fists.
He never imagined that the person he longed for all afternoon was Princess Changping, the lady chosen for the political marriage!
This time, he definitely wasn't going to let her slip away!
Thinking about what happened in the afternoon, he smiled a little. So, when she said that she gave herself to someone else, that person was himself?!
Han Moze's face suddenly smiled like a blooming flower. He took a step closer and spoke with a clear and gentle voice like a guqing. "Rise. What hobbies does the Princess Changping have?"
Liu Rushuang helplessly pouted. It looks like she became one of the Emperor of Beiming's candidates!
But she reluctantly so!
"I have no hobbies," she said with a disinterested voice and a cold look on her face.

"Pfffttt... Haha..." Just as she finished speaking, she heard someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then, there were murmuring sounds of heated conversations.
Liu Rushuang smirked. The Emperor of Beiming wasn't going to choose her!
Otherwise, she wouldn't let other people laugh at her, right?
The women at the center of the hall couldn't resist but secretly giggle behind their sleeves. This Third Young Miss really was a fool! She didn't have a single hobby!
She really was good at nothing, so it's no wonder the Minister wanted to send her away!
Liu Rushuang knew what everyone was thinking but she wasn't bothered.
As an assassin, she only seeked results. The process wasn't important.
Being cold-blooded, emotionless, and restrained were qualities that she possessed from her former life.
