Chapter 1301 - Revenge Plan (6)”

Chapter 1301 “Revenge Plan (6)”

His Majesty gave me control of the city before he left, if it becomes known that I allowed such rumors to float around then wouldn’t it be me who failed?

“I… I don’t know…” the guard gulped, “but they are saying the girls brought by the king from before is going to be the consorts. I thought… First Elder, I really don’t know anything.”

Almost wanting to smack this idiot before himself, the poor elder was burning fire in those eyes: “Go now! Go and investigate who began this rumor! If I hear another person talking about this nonsense then I want them disposed of! I only hope they can stop yapping their mouth before the king returns….”

The queen and king went through so much in order to be together, I can’t allow something like this to get in-between them. If it does, then I’m the one at fault because I didn’t do a good job.

The guard made a shudder over what he’s going to say, knowing it’s not what the other side wanted to hear. “First Elder… I’m afraid it’s already too late.”

Glaring in the eye: “What do you mean by that?”

“It’s… It’s around a year ago. The king’s brother-in-law came and demanded to see His Majesty. He had inadvertently learned of the rumors and was very angry, saying he won’t let the queen stay with the king.”

Poor First Elder, he could already feel his soul flying away into the sky and leaving his mortal body.

The queen’s younger brother already found out? In that case then….

Oh no… no, no, no….

“Send our messengers out this instant! Go find Her Highness’s younger brother! No matter what, we must clarify the misconception before the king returns! If we don’t then you and I and everyone else will have to offer up our heads do you hear?!”

“Yes Elder…” The guard complied and practically bolted it out of the back mountain.

Rubbing his own temple in frustration and suffering from a headache, These demons are so unreliable, why can’t they keep a simple thing like a rumor down? The king always has to handle everything by himself.

……

Inside the supposed harem of the palace.

Mu Xue was continuing her pompous behavior of conducting the other maids around when a rude and harsh voice broke in from the rear.

“What are you doing?!”

Dazed in the face, the leopard girl had to take a good moment to realize the holler was in fact directed at herself. “Me? Of course I am teaching these maids on how to do their job after seeing how lazy they are.”

The guard’s face darkened: “If they’re lazy then what are you?”

Now Mu Xue didn’t even know how to respond to that.

In this girl’s view, she’s the future consort of the king so how dare this puny guard tell her what to do?

“You don’t know who I am?” asking while pointing to her own nose in shock.

The guard coldly snorts: ‘You are nothing but a maid brought in to serve the little princess, what makes you think you are any different from all the rest here that you can order the others around? Now get moving and work!”

“You…” Flushing red from anger, Mu Xue couldn’t take this, “I am the future consort!”

Consort?

Snickering derisively in the face, the guard didn’t want to waste time and threw down the truth: “I have already confirmed it with First Elder just now when I went to meet him. The rumors about the king taking in a consort is only just that, a rumor. In this palace, there is only one queen.”

That cold hard truth instantly causes the girl to go pale: “What did you say?”
