Xiao Jun alighted from the carriage and approached the Prince, in the other hand Mo Xuan Fei did the same as they met in the middle.
Meanwhile Qianru remained inside the carriage, she didn't have obligation to meet Prince Mo Xuan Fei and greeted him. She peeked from the slightly opened window as the two Princes exchanged their customary talk.
It didn't take a long time before Xiao Jun come back with impassive expression.
"Everything alright?" Qianru asked him when the carriage moved.
In front of them was Prince Mo Xuan Fei led the entourage to enter the capital.
"The Emperor called me." Xiao Jun said expressionlessly.
"What is that for?"
"I will know once I am there." Xiao Jun said.
"I will go with you."
However Xiao Jun shook his head, "No, I want you to stay away from this."
With that neither Xiao Jun nor Qianru were in the mood to talk further, the rest of the journey was wrapped in silence and tense atmosphere.
Qianru absentmindedly looking at the new environment around them and was being captivated. This was the first time she went out of the country with Xiao Jun and she didn't know when they would be able to return.
The conflict between Xiao Jun and The Emperor of Azura have escalated to the level that Qianru couldn't imagine. There would be more hardship ahead of them and since they were not in their own territory Xiao Zi would be more free on his attempt to kill Xiao Jun.
This thought dropped Qianru's mood drastically as she couldn't help but frowning. The sign of displease on her forehead became deeper when Xiao Jun got off from the carriage and left her alone inside the carriage while he and Mo Xuan Fei were heading to the palace.
A eunuch, who was assigned to show the place for Xiao Jun and Qianru, was walking ahead of the carriage and led them to their quarter.
However, when the Eunuch stopped and said they had arrived, Qianru became agitated when she got off from the carriage and saw the place that the Emperor Mo Qian Yuan had prepared for them.
It was an abandon courtyard at the furthest palace area.
This was an insult!
"Do you say, Prince Xiao Jun has to live in this dilapidated place?" Qianru asked calmly, but the ripple of anger could be detected in her tone.
"Yes. This place is better rather than having no place to stay. Be grateful for the Crown Prince arrangement." The eunuch said boldly. Prince Mo Qin Yi had told him to not show respect to them beforehand.
This place was arranged by Mo Qin Yi, the crown Prince of Rockstone Kingdom, to mock them. Ever since they were young, Mo Qin Yi and Xiao Jun weren't in good term. But, this kind of behavior was not acceptable.
He should have known better how to treat their guest.
Qianru's expression turned ashen when she heard the disrespect in eunuch's voice, he didn't address her properly.
Even an insignificant eunuch was daring enough to step on their head, even though Xiao Jun wasn't a crown prince anymore, but he was still coming from royal blood. How dare them to treat him poorly and disrespect her as his wife.
Back then in the Xiao Jun's mansion, even when Xiao Jun didn't favor her and almost all the servant knew about this, but if they tried to disrespect her, Xiao Jun would kick them out right there and then.
Thus, Qianru couldn't accept this disrespect behavior.
Qianru looked at the guards beside her and said coldly. "Slap him."
