The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her

Jiang Ling thought she would have to wait until the next day to see Murong Yan and get the details.

But to my surprise, Murong Yan arrived at noon!

They were all still eating lunch.

Upon entering, Murong Yan explained his purpose: "Madam Luo sent a prophetic crystal, which I brought to you as a gift."

"Thank you." Jiang Ling took the food, then asked hesitantly, "Have you eaten?"

Murong Yan shook his head.

As soon as he got the item, he realized it was a perfect excuse. He didn't want to wait a second longer and immediately went out to find Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling smiled and stepped aside to make way: "Come in, you're in for a treat today! Ah Jiao, bring me a new set of bowls and chopsticks!"

Murong Yan followed Jiang Ling to the dining table.

"Regent!"

The brothers Wang Jingkang and Wang Jingan were also there. They were reluctant to put down their bowls and chopsticks, their cheeks bulging from eating, and they hurriedly greeted everyone.

Jiang Yuyan's eyes sparkled as she exclaimed joyfully, "Uncle Yan, come quick! Uncle Jiao's cooking is delicious!"

Wang Jingkang: "Yes, yes! It's super delicious!"

Wang Jing'an: "I have never tasted anything so delicious, it is simply a delicacy!"

The two brothers nodded in agreement, praising it highly.

Murong Yan glanced expressionlessly at the table full of delicacies. Made by his rival? How could they possibly be delicious!

"Please, guest." Yun Jiao brought out the bowls and chopsticks and set them out. He smiled slightly at Murong Yan, his demeanor refined and friendly. There was no trace of the tense standoff that had occurred that morning.

Jiang Ling picked up her chopsticks again and urged him with a smile, "Murong Yan, didn't you skip lunch? Come and have a taste! We can talk about anything else after you finish eating."

"it is good."

Murong Yan joined the dinner table and casually picked up a piece of bamboo shoot with his chopsticks. He was full of criticism and wanted to find fault, but he fell silent after taking a bite.

Yun Jiao deliberately asked him, "What did the guest think?"

Seeing Yun Jiao acting like the master of the house, Murong Yan felt a burning urge to bite him.

Jiang Ling was also looking at him, so Murong Yan could only take a deep breath to suppress his irritation and give a lukewarm compliment: "Not bad."

After praising him, he changed the subject!

Murong Yan said, "The book records that the demon race eats raw meat and drinks blood. I didn't expect that they would have such cooking skills."

Yun Jiao glanced at him indifferently, then reached out his chopsticks to serve Jiang Ling some food. "The Regent's understanding of the demon race is too outdated. However, my culinary skills were all honed for Miss. As long as Miss likes it, Yun Jiao will be satisfied."

Murong Yan gripped his chopsticks tightly, his phoenix eyes fixed intently on Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao smiled like a spring breeze and asked him in return, "If the Regent wants to marry Miss, do you know what dishes my Miss usually likes to eat?"

Murong Yan felt a lump in his throat.

Burning with jealousy!

With a cold glint in his phoenix eyes, Murong Yan refused to back down and snorted, saying, "After we've been married, I'll find out everything as we spend our days together!"

"Clatter!" Jiang Ling put down her chopsticks and swept her eyes over them with a cold look. "If you're not going to eat, then get out."

Yun Jiao: "..."

Murong Yan: "..."

Now both of them behaved and ate in silence.

Wang Jingkang and Wang Jingan, however, lost their appetite. The two brothers exchanged glances, both shocked and terrified. Could the Regent be jealous?

There won't be a fight, right?

After finishing their meal absentmindedly, the two brothers quickly slipped away. Before leaving, they didn't forget to take Jiang Yuyan with them.

Wang Jingkang: "Let's take the baby to the garden to digest!"

Since Jiang Yuyan went missing last time, the Zhenbei General's family has rarely taken him out.

The two people and their child left, leaving only the three of them in the house.

Yun Jiao glanced at Jiang Ling's expression, then stood up and said gently and virtuously, "I'll clear the dishes. Miss, you and the guests can go to the study to take care of your business."

"Okay, Ah Jiao, you've worked hard."

Jiang Ling got up and gave Murong Yan a look, then said, "Come to the study."

Jiang Ling took out a pair of Heavenly Fox Bracelets.

Upon seeing the two identical jade bracelets, Murong Yan instantly forgot all about jealousy and rivalry. He frowned, picked up the bracelets to compare them, and examined them closely, his handsome face cold and stern. "Jiang Ling, where did you get the other one?"

It was a gift from an elder.

Jiang Ling wasn't wearing a veil; half of her face was eerie and unsettling, while the other half was stunningly beautiful.

With her amber eyes calmly probing Murong Yan, Jiang Ling asked, "Could you tell me about your mother first?"

"Alright." Murong Yan's phoenix eyes darkened slightly.

He told Jiang Ling that his mother was a palace maid in the late emperor's harem. Because of her unparalleled beauty, the late emperor fell in love with her at first sight and made her a favored concubine. After Murong Yan was born, he was also showered with favor and his position once threatened the crown prince, who is now the emperor.

Everything changed dramatically when Murong Yan was five years old!

"The late emperor changed his mind in one fell swoop, ordered my mother to die with poisoned wine, and I was imprisoned in the cold palace because of this."

Murong Yan was angry and resentful, and he referred to the late emperor instead of "Father Emperor".

When he mentioned it, a fierce and murderous aura emanated from his eyes.

He regretted that the late emperor died too early, and he did not have time to avenge his mother.

Noticing that Jiang Ling was staring at him, Murong Yan pursed his lips, suppressing the fierceness in his eyes, and continued, "When I was ten years old, the late emperor passed away, and the crown prince ascended the throne and set me free. I respected him for that reason and fought for him on the battlefield, expanding the territory."

Although they are brothers, the current emperor of Yan is twenty years older than Murong Yan.

Because of gratitude, even when the emperor was seriously ill and Murong Yan served as regent for three years, wielding immense power, he never considered plotting to usurp the throne.

But now it's different.

Murong Jingming stole his destiny, and Murong Yan followed the clues, uncovering some past secrets. He awaits His Majesty's return from the Lushan Palace for a face-to-face confrontation!

Let's return to the topic of jade bracelets.

Murong Yan stroked the jade bracelet with his hand, his eyes filled with unconcealed sorrow. "The jade bracelet was given to me by my mother the night she drank the poisoned wine."

"This was given to me by Aunt Mei."

Jiang Ling picked up the jade bracelet, staring intently at Murong Yan, and said, "This is the Heavenly Fox Bracelet, a magical artifact belonging to Aunt Mei. There is a pair. Aunt Mei said she gave the other one to her son and asked me to find him."

"Murong Yan, what is your mother's name?"

Murong Yan's expression changed slightly, his phoenix eyes staring at Jiang Ling in surprise, "Aunt Mei? My mother's name is Hu Mei! You've met her? When was that?"

"three years ago."

Murong Yan suddenly stood up from his wheelchair, breathing rapidly, and looked at Jiang Ling in disbelief.

Jiang Ling hesitated, then sighed and said, "Murong Yan, please sit down first. I haven't finished speaking yet, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it later."

"What else?"

Murong Yan's body stiffened, and he forced a complicated smile. He didn't think anything could shock him more than the fact that his mother was actually alive.

It wasn't until Jiang Ling said, "Aunt Mei is the first celestial fox in the world in ten thousand years. You are human, and you have no demonic energy or blood in your body, so Aunt Mei may not necessarily be your mother. Also, Aunt Mei perished a year ago, and I buried her with my own hands."

Murong Yan's pupils trembled suddenly, and he staggered back to his seat.

Celestial Fox?

Monster clan?

already dead!

Murong Yan was unable to process or understand for a moment, his handsome face pale as he murmured, "Jiang Ling, you're right, she's not my mother."

But he couldn't help himself. He leaned forward and gripped Jiang Ling's hand tightly, his voice hoarse as he asked her, "If she was a celestial fox, how did she die?"
