Chapter 925 - Misfortune
Empress Running Away with the Ball
Mo Chuan nodded with a smile. He looked over the box and the smile on the corner of his lips couldnât help expanding.
âNingâer, Iâm afraid youâll lose again. You canât escape those two cups of wine.â He said with a smile.
âI havenât guessed yet, how do you know Iâll lose.....Ah, this is the Eldest Princessâ gift!â Chen Ning looked at it and the writing on the box was very heroic, just like that of a manâs. This was the Eldest Princessâ handwriting.
The Eldest Princessâ thoughts were simply as hard as Chu Shao Baiâs to guess, so she really was about to lose.
Who would know what kind of gift the Eldest Princess would give!
Chen Ning raised the gift box and suddenly felt it sink in her hands. She quickly used force so the box didnât fall to the ground.
This present didnât look too big and it was around a square foot, but it was heavy. She shook it and there was no sound that came from the box. It was clear that the present completely took up the space inside the box which made her even more curious.
âMo Chuan, youâre right, I canât guess it.â She sighed in frustration.
âThen just casually give a guess. The Eldest Princessâ mind, even I as her royal brother canât guess it. Who knows what they girl would give, so if you guess wrong, Iâll drink these two cups for you.â Mo Chuan smiled as he rubbed her head, comforting her.
He didnât want her to be drunk, he would rather have himself be drunk.
âAlright, Iâll just casually guess since youâre taking this punishment for me.â She tilted her head and turned her eyes as she said with a smile, âThen Iâll guess. There must be that sword that never leaves the Eldest Princess in here.â
âNo, a sword is a weapon, how could the Eldest Princess give it as a gift?â Mo Chuan shook his head.
âWouldnât we know just by opening it and looking at it?â
Chen Ning smiled as he placed the box on the table. The box was just too heavy and her wrist were already numb after a while.
She reached out to the open the seal on the box. She placed her hand on the lid and prepared to open it.
âEldest Princess, what present did you give the emperor?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Ting Xuan quickly followed behind the Eldest Princess, but very quickly he was thrown behind by the Eldest Princess.
But the Eldest Princess became slower as time passed until she finally stopped moving.
Ye Ting Xuan caught up panting, grabbing the Eldest Princessâ shoulder.
The Eldest Princess slowly looked up and here eyes were filled with a look of regret and fear, âTing Xuan, I, I.....â She forcefully bit her lip.
âSpeak, what misfortune did you cause.â
Ye Ting Xuan seemed much calmer than the Eldest Princess. His voice had a calming power to it that made the Eldest Princess want to purse her mouth and cry.
âTing Xuan, I donât dare go. Help me stop them, donât let them open the present!â She was like a child that had made a mistake, as she held Ye Ting Xuanâs sleeve.
This was simply not like the Eldest Princess who was stronger than any man Ye Ting Xuan knew.
Ye Ting Xuan took a deep breath, âTell me, what present did you prepare for them?â
âItâs.....Itâs.....Itâs......â The Eldest Princess stuttered before finally saying, âItâs a snake, a very, very poisonous snake.....â
âWhat!â
Ye Ting Xuan didnât dare believe his ears, âYou actually.....Donât you know the emperor is most afraid of snakes! He.....He was injured when he was bitten by a poisonous snake as a child and almost died! Youâre too willful and bold. You.....You.....â His body began to tremble.
