Chapter 694: Deceiving each other

Mo Chuan did not know about this beforehand .  When he heard Na Mu Cuo’s words, he felt this was very suitable since it would be two beautiful things .

First, if she really was sick, she would be cured after she ingested this snow ginseng .  Moreover, this snow ginseng had the ability to strengthen one’s body which would be good for her .

Second, Na Mu Cuo mentioned competing again which was equivalent to the second match .  If she were to win again, this would be West Chu’s second victory .

So he said, “Shao Yang, this snow ginseng is hard to obtain, so just accept it .  It is best if you can let your princess recover sooner . ”

Chu Shao Yang almost broke his teeth from gritting them .  He looked up and glared at Mo Chuan .

From his thoughts, this matter must have been the emperor’s plan .  Him and Na Mu Cuo were working together on this matter, thinking of this idea to force him into a corner .

He definitely could not agree!

But in front of everyone, he had no choice .

He considered it a bit before reaching out to take the gift box .  With a serious expression, he said, “Many thanks for the prince’s heavy gift .  I believe that after my princess uses it, she will quickly recover . When her body is better, naturally she can compete with the prince again . ”

His words were very clever since it was ambiguous .  He did not agree and he did not disagree .

Although Na Mu Cuo was very clever, he was also straightforward and did not hear the curves in Chu Shao Yang’s words .  Seeing him accept the gift, he knew he agreed . He could not help feeling happy as he became high spirited . He stood up and placed his right hand across his left chest before bowing to Mo Chuan .

“Emperor, this prince will be leaving first .  This prince will be waiting for the news in the guest pavilion .  I hope the princess can be healed as soon as possible and can compete with this prince again . ”

Mo Chuan could hear the meaning behind Chu Shao Yang’s words .  He kept his criticism to himself since it was not convenient for him to warn Na Mu Cuo .

His long brows slightly knit as he gave a slight nod towards Na Mu Cuo .

Na Mu Cuo turned to leave and did not look back .  He did not even take an extra glance at Chu Shao Yang .

In his eyes, there was only Mo Chuan would could be his enemy .  He did not even place Chu Shao Yang in his eyes .

Chu Shao Yang’s heart was filled with anger, but his face revealed no such expressions .  Rather he curled his lips and revealed a faint smile .

“Emperor, this minister wishes to leave first .  This minister is thinking of my princess’ condition and want to return to the palace quickly to give this snow ginseng to her, I ask for the emperor’s permission . ”

Although Mo Chuan did not know if he was sincere or not, he could only nod in agreement .

“King Ding Yuan, this one hopes to receive good news of the princess’ recovery soon .  Our West Chu’s hopes lies on her alone . ”

His eyes cast a deep gaze over Chu Shao Yang, hoping that he would understand the meaning behind his words .  He hoped that he would focus on national matters instead of personal matters .

Chu Shao Yang seemed like he didn’t understand the meaning at all as he lowered his head .

“This minister will leave now . ”

After he said this, he slowly walked out of the hall .  Then with a flutter of his purple robes, he disappeared into the night .

Mo Chuan kept staring at him as he left, until he couldn’t see even the hem of his clothes .  His right hand was holding onto the armrest and with a “ka” sound, it broke into two pieces .

Chen Ning was in a light sleep when she felt light hitting her eyes .  She opened them and saw a tall figure in front of the bed . He was holding a candle as he slightly bent over, looking down at her .

Seeing her awaken, Chu Shao Yang placed the candle in his hand to the side .  He then smiled at her with a smile that was very gentle, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes .
