The head office of the Bureau of Service was located in Ninghui Hall. To get there, one had to pass through the extravagant Xihua Gate. Xihua Gate was guarded by white jade stone pillars, carved exquisitely with dragons and phoenixes of different shapes and sizes flying agilely through the clouds.

In no time, Rong Xi arrived at Ninghui Hall.

The reason behind her early arrival was because the Emperor had his breakfast at three quarters past chenshi Mu Ji for Imperial Father’s love.

Getting down from her palanquin, Mu Qian held onto the hand of a palace maid as she walked towards Rong Xi. She spoke in an unkind voice, “Royal Brother sure is sneaky. This palace maid is supposed to come to my palace, how can Royal Brother just steal her away?”

These words held absolutely no respect. It was not at all like how a younger sister should speak to her older brother.

Finished, Mu Qian reached out and pointed towards Rong Xi, gesturing for her eunuchs to steal the person. When the two eunuchs received their order, they held down Rong Xi’s shoulders and lifted her up, preparing to drag her towards Mu Qian’s palace.

Rong Xi couldn’t react in time. She did not expect Mu Qian to treat her as an object, stealing her just because she said so. Mu Huai’s eyebrow twitched. His long and slender index finger lightly tapped against the wheelchair’s wooden handle. He didn’t say anything.

Because his legs were crippled, Mu Zhen granted Mu Huai special permission to bring along personal bodyguards whenever he was in the palace. The bodyguard behind Mu Huai immediately understood and pulled out his sword to block Mu Qian’s eunuch.

When the two eunuchs saw the sharp glint of the blade, they were so frightened they turned pale, immediately releasing Rong Xi. Seeing this, Mu Qian banished her teeth in anger. She secretly cursed Mu Huai countless times for being a damn cripple.

Sparks of killing intent seemed to fly between them. Mu Huai glanced at Rong Xi from the corner of his eyes. It was a look that was originally difficult for people to detect, but Rong Xi immediately understood his meaning. Rong Xi didn’t think any further and as if she was possessed, she walked behind Mu Huai’s wheelchair.

Sitting in the sun, Mu Huai’s gaze followed Rong Xi’s steps, pausing for a moment on her figure.

This palace maid seemed to be intelligent after all.

Thinking this, Mu Huai saw Mu Qian angrily glaring at him and he put away his slight smile. His voice was as cold as ice as he spoke to Mu Qian, “She’s mine.”

Mu Qian was in disbelief and she found it difficult to say anything due to her anger, “You…”

“In the future, if someone causes trouble for her, then they will be going against me.”
