Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 2041 - 2049: Jealousy and Rivalry (Part 2)

The arresting officer pointed to his own nose, his eyes widened, but he didn’t dare get angry. He felt like a wolf was eyeing him as prey and felt uncomfortable all over. He stammered, "Are you... talking about... us?"

Ba Tulu didn’t speak, but his eagle-like eyes grew sharper.

The arresting officer was frightened by those gloomy eyes. At this moment, Wanyan Chao was being held in Mingzhu’s bosom, and the officer couldn’t see his face at all, while Mingzhu was out disguised as a man. A mere arresting officer couldn’t recognize her, and hence thought Ba Tulu was having discord with other customers. Ba Tulu was a prince of a neighboring country, and he dared not offend him lightly. To handle this matter, he had to consult Prefect.

Thus, he stammeringly said, "Uh... don’t be angry, I’ll leave... I’ll leave now..."

Mingzhu saw they were about to leave and shouted, "Stop, who said you could get out, I’m telling him to get out!"

Speaking thus, with beautiful eyes glaring, she angrily stared at Ba Tulu and said, "I’m talking to you, you get out!"

But Ba Tulu approached and sat stably on the chair beside Mingzhu, saying, "I just came to look at you, won’t do anything to you, and will leave once I’ve seen enough."

Ever since that fleeting glimpse at the Empress Dowager’s funeral in the Great Jin Nation two years ago, his heart had been firmly occupied by this noble and exquisite princess. Her every frown and smile, every word and deed, were so beautiful in his eyes, making him think about it day and night and unable to sleep.

For two years, because of her, even his favorite bed exercises felt dull and tasteless, because all his women together couldn’t compare to a single strand of her hair. If she was a dazzling cloud in the sky, his women were the muddy earth, and with her as a comparison, how could he have the mood to favor those women?

Hundreds of days of longing day and night, waiting for so long, he finally found a chance to be alone with her. Naturally, he wouldn’t let it go easily, staying by her side to take a good look at her, to alleviate the deep longing carved in his heart.

Mingzhu and Wanyan Chao didn’t bring any attendants with them, sneaking out to avoid attracting attention. Wanyan Chao prided himself on his martial arts, and Mingzhu also knew some kungfu, and ordinary people couldn’t do anything to them. However, they unexpectedly encountered Ba Tulu, who had cleverly knocked Wanyan Chao unconscious. Now, Mingzhu truly had no way to deal with Ba Tulu, so she could only hope the yamen runners would help.

"You guys, drive this northern savage out, don’t let me see him again!"

She extended her delicate jade hands, commanding the arresting officer who was in a dilemma.

The arresting officer didn’t recognize Mingzhu, but judging from ’his’ clothing and aura, he knew ’he’ was no ordinary person, feeling very difficult and unsure whether to listen to ’him’ or the Prince of Liaodan.

At this moment, Ba Tulu suddenly leaned close to Mingzhu’s ear, using a voice only the two of them could hear, saying: "They won’t listen to you, because they would never imagine that the ice-pure and jade-like rightful Princess Your Highness could be disguised as a man, secretly meeting with men here."

Ba Tulu’s words were full of threats, enough to make Mingzhu shut her mouth because she indeed couldn’t let her identity be discovered, nor let the people see her disguised as a man secretly meeting with men, otherwise, her virtue would be ruined, and Father and Imperial Mother would be shamed by her as well.

Thus, when the arresting officer hesitated repeatedly, preparing to withdraw, Mingzhu no longer spoke, watching him retreat with her eyes wide open.

However, she wasn’t worried that Ba Tulu would do anything over-the-top to her. She was a rightful Princess Your Highness of the Great Jin Nation, so even if Ba Tulu was audacious, he wouldn’t dare treat her rudely.
