Chapter 2911: Counterattack in the palace: Revenge of the little maid (Part 19)

“How can you be this brave?”  Song Nan Mo frowned as he looked at her, “You dare take off the seal personally placed by the emperor, do you know that you could be beheaded for this?”

From beginning to end, Luo Qing Chen just looked at him with an innocent and cute look.

After a while, she said, “Sir Song, the story of you seducing me has spread all over the palace.  Now that you grab my hand like this, I won’t be able to wash it off even if I jump into the Yellow River.”

[Ding, affection has increased by ten.  Mission completion rate is now 30%.]

“I……”  Song Nan Mo nervously let go before turning away to say, “Sorry, I made a mistake.”

Actually, Song Nan Mo didn’t know what was wrong with him.  He was courteous towards the maids and the ladies of the court, he never went beyond that even when shown affection.

But now, when facing this little maid in front of him, he found it a bit hard to control his emotions.

It was as if the emotions that were suppressed deep in his heart were pressured and he couldn’t control himself.

“Oh, so it’s like this.”  Luo Qing Chen raised a brow and revealed a smile, “I thought that Sir Song was holding my hand because he fell in love with me?”

Song Nan Mo looked at her deeply with his dark eyes.

Luo Qing Chen blinked and he blinked as well.  Then he cleared his throat and changed the topic, “I’ve already checked what Feng Zhi ate that day.  Other than the normal things, there was just some extra dried fruit and candied fruit.”

“Dried fruit?”  Luo Qing Chen slightly knitted her brows, “What kind of dried fruit?”

“Some dried durian.”  Song Nan Mo saw her worried expression and said with a sigh, “I know what you are thinking.  Although there’s a bad effect of eating dried durian and sophora flavescens together, it wouldn’t kill the eighth prince.”

“But on the day that there was the extra dried fruit and sophora flavescens, the eighth prince’s condition worsened.”  Luo Qing Chen looked up a bit, “It definitely isn’t simple.”

Song Nan Mo’s eyes lit up a bit, “You mean that it isn’t just the two of them?”

“I just found that the candles were wiped completely clean in the eighth prince’s palace and even the carpet on the ground was replaced.”  Luo Qing Chen thought about it before saying, “I want to leave the palace and go to Glazed Glass City to look for the carpet.”

“The eighth prince’s room is normally filled with red sandalwood incense, do you think there’s something wrong with it?”  Song Nan Mo’s expression changed slightly, “You leaving the palace alone…..This is too unsafe, I’ll go with you.”

“No, it’s better if I go alone.”  Luo Qing Chen looked at Song Nan Mo and said, “Now that we are investigating this matter, the perpetrator will be anxious and will act.  If you stay in the palace, you can protect the concubine.”

“But……”

“Sir Song, I’ll leave the rest to you.”  Luo Qing Chen took a step forward before saying, “Be careful of Xiang Cao.  I saw her contacting the maid of the Flying Flower Palace last night.”

“The empress?”

“Shh……”  Luo Qing Chen gave a gesture, “There’s no proof yet.  If it really is the empress, then it will be even harder to avenge the crime of killing the eighth prince.”

“A life for a life, murdering the emperor’s son is very serious.”  Song Nan Mo’s eyes turned cold.  She had seen him many times, but it was her first time seeing him reveal this kind of appearance.

He was a righteous man and he couldn’t stand an act like killing a son.  Then again, Feng Zhi was his nephew.

Blood was thicker than water.  Nothing could be done if it was an accident, but he would naturally feel resentful if it was murder.
