Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 135 - 135: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (5)

Lu Heng immediately narrowed his eyes, and his aura turned oppressive. He felt as if the young girl was embracing him and leaning into his arms like his closest lover. He had even gotten a whiff of the same sweet and refreshing fragrance that made him feel as if he were in a trance.

The young man lowered his eyes to stare at the top of the young girl's head and raised his hand as if he were about to hug her back. But before he was able to touch Yue Ran's waist and embrace her in his arms, the young girl had already stepped back.

The young girl that had previously laid in his arms had gotten away, and his dream was instantly shattered.

"Your Highness, this servant has completed the duty," Yue Ran said simply. She obediently retreated to the side and stood upright. There were no other superfluous movements at all to try and attract his attention like the others do.

"Yue Ran, are you done with it?" Yi Yan's question rang from the other room. She was referring to her previous question, where she had asked Yue Ran to find out the situation on Lu Heng's side.

Yi Yan's words of calling Yue Ran over immediately disrupted the peaceful and warm scene at the moment. But this was only from the male protagonist's point of view, not Yue Ran's.

"Yes, this servant is coming, Madam," Yue Ran replied aloud. She then turned her body back to Lu Heng and bowed slightly as she said, "Then, this servant will leave first, Your Highness."

The young girl turned around and walked out the door.

Lu Heng felt that every time he looked at Yue Ran's back, she would always look extremely graceful and beautiful, akin to the noble bearing of an aristocratic lady in the capital.

…

"So, just now, what had actually happened on His Highness' side?" Yi Yan questioned the young girl in front of her.

Hmm, how should Yue Ran reply to this kind of question? Should she say that the female protagonist's beloved husband was trying to seduce her?

That would have been a hilarious scene to see! However, she could not say so. She cannot break out of her character's setting.

"It was just that the servant who had helped His Highness get dressed was not careful enough and thus made His Highness unhappy," Yue Ran said while recounting the scene she saw before. "Wang Li was worried that His Highness would be late for court, and thus he asked this servant to help His Highness get dressed."

The young girl's articulation was brief yet concise. There were no other superfluous words. Everything was straight to the point.

…

On this day, Yue Ran received a letter from her cousin.

The words were written as follows: I will see you at Leng Shan Temple. We have an important matter to discuss.

Ever since Lu Heng became interested in Yue Ran, he ordered Wang Li to monitor every move in Yi Yan's courtyard. Once there is any matter that is related to Yue Ran, Wang Li will have to report it to Lu Heng as soon as possible and tell him all the details about it.

Therefore, any movements by Yue Ran were always under Lu Heng's careful scrutiny. Naturally, what Lu Heng got from the reports was all that Yue Ran purposefully wanted him to see.

Here, Lu Heng had seen the contents of the letter to Yue Ran from her cousin much earlier than when Yue Ran had received it.

Knowing that Yue Ran had read the letter that her cousin sent to her, Lu Heng immediately heard from Wang Li that Yue Ran had asked Yi Yan for permission to go out of the palace to pray to Buddha in her name to ensure everyone's safety.

Angered, Lu Heng vented his emotions in his dark study room. All the gold, silver, and jade were thrown to the floor and scattered all over the place. Everything inside the study looked messy, and there were also broken porcelain and shattered jade pieces on the ground.

Without much thought or hesitation, Lu Heng picked up the precious inkstone on the table and smashed it down.

"Why are you so impatient to see him?" Lu Heng asked no one in particular as he slumped down in his chair. His voice was low and deep, and anger was hidden in his words. "Why are you in such a hurry to see him?"

Even after venting his emotions by destroying many precious things, he still did not feel any calmer; on the contrary, he was furious.

Lu Heng stared at the air in front of him for a while before ordering, "Wang Li, prepare the horses."

The young man's voice was not loud, but it still sounded terrifying nonetheless.

Wang Li was hiding in the corner of the room, trembling. It was the first time that he saw the third prince like this. The third prince had never gotten this angry before, nor had he ever destroyed things like a madman as he had previously done a few moments ago.

Fearing that he would get punished if he answered too late and that his life would be lost, Wang Li hurriedly answered his master, "Yes, Your Highness! I will prepare the horses immediately!"

…

Leng Shan Temple

As soon as Yue Ran left the palace, Lu Heng immediately followed her, not too far away.

Looking at Yue Ran, who had obviously dressed up, Lu Heng felt that his breathing was not smooth and his eyes were sore.

The Yue Ran before him, who had never had the intention to dress up, has already easily intoxicated him to obsession. But presently, he just had to see Yue Ran, who had specially worn yesterday's newly made dress, in order to meet her sweetheart without being able to say a word.

How sad it is for him!

The happier Yue Ran is, the sadder Lu Heng will be.

After placing a stick of incense to pray for safety, Yue Ran hurriedly got up from where she was and ran out to meet her sweetheart.

People in love always do not want their loved ones to wait long for them. They would always want to show their best sides to one another.

In the winding bamboo forest, the air was fresh and clean, which would make people easily relax in such a tranquil atmosphere.

A slender and straight figure stood in the shade of a bamboo, waiting for the arrival of his sweetheart. He heard the rustle of leaves when a gentle breeze blew by.

It was at this time that Yue Ran trotted over. Running for such a distance from the temple to the bamboo forest had made her pant, and her breathing was a little short. Her scarlet lips kept opening and closing as she tried hard to collect her breath and return it to normal.

Seeing a familiar figure in front of her eyes, Yue Ran immediately called out in a joyful and sweet voice, like the coming of spring, where all the flower buds had grown and bloomed beautifully.

"Cousin!"

Hearing the silvery voice that he could only hear in his dreams, the young man named Pei He, who stood under the shade, turned around to look at the girl, who was not far away from his position, and also called out, "Cousin!"

Cousin and cousin are a natural pair!

The male supporting character in this world is definitely not bad-looking. As expected, when Yue Ran looked at his face, she smiled very sweetly. She is satisfied with this man's appearance.

Pei He is really a very handsome man—a handsome scholar, to be precise. He has a literary air about him, with a poetic temperament to match. He could really be regarded as a very good marriage partner for a boudoir lady, according to looks only, at the present.

Naturally, the male supporting character in this small world would have great talent to go along with his attractive appearance. After all, he is the future prime minister who would assist the male protagonist, who is the future emperor, to make this dynasty prosperous, which would be written down in history.

When Pei He hugged Yue Ran into his arms, the young man felt that his cousin had changed a lot after they had been separated for two years since she went into the Yi Mansion. Moreover, she had become even more beautiful than before.

The two were hugging one another here with much nostalgia and affection, while Lu Heng and Wang Li were not so peaceful.

Wang Li was hiding in the dark, following Lu Heng's every move. Now, he only felt that the sky was overcast by dusty clouds and that the world had turned dark and dreary. This was all because of Lu Heng's mood right now.

The aura surrounding the third prince was getting heavier and heavier, and the bamboo next to him looked to be in a rather precarious condition.

The poor bamboo used to be lush with branches and leaves, but now it seemed that it would not grow up anymore. At most, it would only grow a few more feet before it stopped. After all, all its young leaves had already fallen to the ground at the position where the third prince was standing.

Looking at the two people who were hugging one another in front of him, Lu Heng's eyes turned as deep and dark as a cold pool. The murky shadows in it revealed danger as he stared firmly at the young girl who was supposed to be his.
