The Story of a Stroppy Princess

Chapter 25

Glancing at the two men’s expression, Hua Yueling snorted, “Why do you show me this facial expression, how about taking up another challenge?”

“Sister, you must be kidding and we dare not . Now you are the boss . We have to depend on you to capture the spies . ” Hua Yujin hurried to flatter her .

“Humph, finally you know my value now, don’t you?” Hua Yueling raised her willow-leaf-like eyebrows, staring at them with a sly look .

“Of course, I know right now and I know perfectly . You were bewitched by the Third Prince before, but you will let him know who you are in the future . Sister, what you don't know was that the Third Prince complained to the Emperor about your disqualification for the Minister . ” Hua Yujing intended to provoke Hua Yueling to investigate the cases .

“Damn it, what a bastard . If he is so capable, let him do it!” Once someone menioned Nangong Lieye’s name, Hua Yueling would be angry .

With his face convulsed, the Forth Prince said, “Ling’er, you are a lady, don’t speak dirty words . It is so inelegant . ”

“Nonsense! Why must I keep elegant? Thanks to the damned man, I am now a failed woman . No man will love me . What I keep the elegance for?” Hua Yueling gave a glance to Nangong Lieye distantly and then walked inwards the room, leaving the two men stare at each other for a moment and then they hurried to follow her .

“Ping’er, make some tea . Well, add more nectar . Endogenous fire is flaming and I need to let it out . ” Hua Yueling, siting on the chair facing South (the most important seat in China's etiquette) ordered Ping’er .

Hearing this, Hua Yujin and Nangong Yixuan exchanged their eyes .

Hua Yueling’s sitting posture make her seem like a boss, who was checking the golden medal and her smile grew bigger and bigger .

All of a sudden, she smiled at the two handsome men, “Then, what will you address me, the Minister?”

“Sister, I prefer to call you sister . ” Hua Yujin was embarrassed, and then peered at Nangong Yixuan .

“What would you like us to address you, Ling’er?” Nangong Yixuan was obviously more thoughtful than Hua Yujin .

“Well, you are smarter and know what I want . Can't you give me a chance to build up my image, boy? You need to call me My Lady whenever we are at work . Understand?” Hua Yueling smiled evilly .

“Yes, My Lady!” This time Hua Yujin became smart .

“Act first and report afterwards . Ha-ha, that sounds great . ” Hua Yueling laughed . But her behavior scared both men and they had no idea what she wanted to do .

“Ling’er, the Emperor grant you the right to act first and report afterwards . But you should make sure what you really want before you make any rash decisions, especially for the members of royalty . ” Nangong Yixuan was really afraid that she would kill Nangong Lieye impulsively .

“Of course, I'm not that impulsive . Rest assured, business is business . ” Hua Yueling glanced at Nangong Yixuan contemptuously . She really wondered what kind of person was she in his eyes? After all, she was a swat police, and she was not that headstrong .

A little embarrassed, Nangong Yixuan forced a smile . And then he took out a note and gave it to Hua Yueling, “Ling’er, see, what does that say?”

Hua Yueling said contemptuously at once, “You really know how to get full use of me . No break, just work . ”

“Sis, forgive us please . ” Hua Yujin had been completely defeated by his sister's potty-mouthed . He really couldn’t understand why such a marriage made her become totally different . Was love really that great?

Looking at two piteous faces, Hua Yueling said complacently, “Well, forgive you this time . Don’t underestimate any woman . Otherwise, I will perform my right granted by the Emperor . ”

Hearing this, they two could only produce bitter smile again .

"Brother Yi Xuan, what clues did you find in the three places of the Third Prince?" Hua Yueling looked at the note and asked solemnly .

"Ling'er, I didn't find any spies in Xihe Tower and Yueman Tower except the Jing Fu that you've found in Osmanthus Tower, and none of those pigeons was found . " Nangong Yixuan was embarrassed .

"You idiot!" Hua Yueling scolded him straight, "How could? must haven;t investegated carefully . Take me there tomorrow!"

Nangong Yixuan's face was red . Apart from being scolded by the Emperor and his mother, he had never been scolded .

"Sister . " Hua Yujin hurriedly winked at Hua Yueling .

"Stop calling me! I am very strict when handling the case . The last note clearly pointed out that there was something wrong among the three places, and Jing Fu was successfully found in Osmanthus Tower . How could there be no clue in the other two places? It is obvious that you didn't have thorough investigation!" The voice of Hua Yueling was cold and sharp .

"Yes, yes, Ling'er is right . I may let something unnoticed . " Nangong Yixuan, under Hua Yueling’s expressiveness, was willing to submit to her .

"Keep your eyes wide open when handling the case in the future! The note says that they will assassinate you in Yueman Tower tomorrow night! " Hua Yueling said in a sulk . Her fury was a good demonstration of her worry about the Fourth Prince . If they didn’t come to her tonight, they must be thrown into the trap tomorrow .

"What?" Both jumped up from their chairs, looking frightened .

"Why are you going to the Yueman Tower tomorrow?" Hua Yueling ignored their surprise and continued to ask .

"Tomorrow is, is . . . " Nangong Yixuan became nervous and blushed .

"Just speak it out! Quick or you are courting death? " Hua Yueling was so angry .

"Sister, tomorrow is the 18th birthday of Ouyang Ruyan, the confidante of the Third Prince, he has sent out many invitation cards to celebrate her birthday . " In fear, Hua Yujin looked at Hua Yueling whose face grew increasingly sinister .

Hua Yueling quickly grasped the note on her hand, and her face had turned black .

"Sister, don't be angry . Now you and the Third Prince have no relationship with each other, haven't you?" Hua Yujin comforted her .

Hua Yueling glanced at him coldly and said, "Humph! I'm not angry . I know he's attractive to women like the top stallion . But I don’t care how many women he has . And I was just hunted by ghosts for a period of time . But since I'm the Minister now . I'll handle the case tomorrow night! Besiege the whole tower secretly . Don't let any assassin run away! Do you hear me!" Hua Yueling said . Her little hand threw the gold medal on the table, which made a loud noise .

"Yes, My Lady!" Both men were stunned, sweating out of fright .

"One more thing, only we three know about it; don't report to the fourth one . If you dare to let it out, don't blame me for showing no mercy . How can a prostitute's birthday compare with the rise and fall of the kingdom?" Hua Yueling said seriously with her bulging eyes .

"Yes, My Lady!" The two men replied instantaneously again .

"Well, let's enjoy the tea, but don't blame me for not reminding you that, if you can't catch any assassin tomorrow, we shall see what will happen!" Hua Yueling then picked up the nectar tea from Ping'er and drank it in a rather graceful manner .
