1161 Chapter 1161 “Royal Family Dinner“
"..." Li Shi Ying didn't say anything and only helped Long Ao Zhen to change to more comfortable clothes. The night seemed heavier than any other night making Li Shi Ying felt stuffy inside.
"Ying'er…" Seeing Li Shi Ying didn't speak, Long Ao Zhen's heart ached in pain. They had done their best but no one could find that b*tch. Still, Li Shi Ying didn't need to leave this world, right? They could stick to plan B.
"I'm okay. Don't worry. We know that it's indeed difficult to find that girl" Li Shi Ying patted Long Ao Zhen's back before getting off the bed. It's 7 p.m now, dinner time. The emperor and the previous emperor invited them to come.
Her master would be there too. Maybe...they gathered to discuss this problem.
"Mn...should we go now?" Long Ao Zhen bit his lips as he asked Li Shi Ying to divert her attention. They had to attend tonight's dinner held by the emperor. All the royal family member would be there so they had to come too.
"Yep, let's go. Don't make them wait" Li Shi Ying hooked her arm with Long Ao Zhen arm before she dragged him out of the room.
5 minutes later…
"Hey, you're here!" Right when Li Shi Ying and Long Ao Zhen arrived, someone called out for them. This voice belonged to none other than Ji Sharen, the second prince of the kingdom.
"Big bro" Li Shi Ying nodded slightly when she saw the young man whereas Long Ao Zhen was as cold as usual, didn't do any greetings whatsoever.
"Li'er you finally come. Sit there, the dish is about to be served" This time it was the emperor who talked. The middle-aged man smiled at Li Shi Ying before pointing to the empty seat not far from his place.
Since the table isn't a circle like usual, the emperor had to sit at the edge of the table while the first prince, Ji Sharen's father, took the seat at the other side. The rest sat on the left and the right side of the table.
The empress sat closest to the emperor's seat while the previous emperor sat between the Empress and Ji Sharen. That young prince, of course, had to sit near his father else his father won't know what his dear son would do this time.
On the other hand, Li Shi Ying sat across the previous emperor this means she had a seat near Ji Sharen's father but there's one seat separating them and it's empty. As for Long Ao Zhen? He sat right beside Li Shi Ying and on his left side, was the emperor.
"Thank you, imperial father" Li Shi Ying curtsy lightly as a polite answer before she hurriedly sat down. The girl saw that the empress, the previous emperor, Ji Sharen and his father already gathered around the table. There's one empty seat next to her and it should be her master but…
The others had gathered. They were really late ah!
"Father, I'm sorry I'm late. I had just come back from the mission" Long Ao Zhen also took a seat before he apologized. He knew that he's late because he had something to do. Just like Qiao Mo who hasn't come yet, Long Ao Zhen was late for a reason.
"It's okay don't be so formal. That guy Qiao Mo also said that he will be late because of 'that' case. Shall we start now?" The emperor waved his hand before he called the servants to began serving the dish.
It's late already, they should eat while...discussing 'that'.
"Sure" Long Ao Zhen gripped the edge of this clothes tight as he waited for the servants to serve the dish. He knew for sure what his father would say today but...he won't give up. His bunny can't go! No!
The people around silently watched the servants served the dish and after all of the food are served, they began to eat. Of course, eating in silence since the atmosphere had been heavy ever since the start of the dinner.
Everyone knew why they held the dinner thus they were reluctant to speak. Even Ji Sharen wasn't an exception. The maniac would often glance at Li Shi Ying before shaking his head and sighed. If he could, he too would do everything in his power to prevent the emperor from making the decision.
But…he is too useless. He can't even find a single girl! That witch is really good at hiding herself.
Just as the emperor and the others were eating in silence not knowing how to begin the conversation, the door to the dining room was opened and Qiao Mo came in hurry.
"Your majesty, forgive me for being late...this servant…" Qiao Mo was catching his breath as he gave a greeting to the emperor when he saw the man himself was looking at him with sparkling eyes as if he's a saviour.
He's indeed a saviour that will help them ease this heavy atmosphere!
"No, no. It's okay. Sit down, please. I want to hear the result of the mission" The emperor didn't let go of the opportunity to mention the 'mission' as Qiao Mo was also involved in the searching of Meng Yue Ming.
The young man tilted his head not knowing what's going on but he immediately rushed to the chair before sitting down. The man noticed Li Shi Ying out of the corner of his eyes and couldn't help but nod his head while giving a smile.
