Chapter 159: The Strange Ministers

Xia Muqing frowned. The expression on his face appeared again, along with that disgusting gaze. She suddenly grinned and said, "I want to go out and play."

You Lanchen's eyes flashed. "Let's wait a few days. When you're 20 years old, I'll prepare a huge banquet for you."

"But I want to go out of the city for my birthday."

"Stay here for the next few days. I'll bring you out to have fun after these few days."

With that, he left.

This was the first time he had rejected her request. It seemed like they were going to take action on her birthday in a few days.

Xia Muqing could clearly feel that the guards had doubled recently. The explanation given by You Lanchen was that many criminals had appeared in Jin Country recently and it wasn't safe. Hence, these people were here to protect her.
