Chapter 2928: Counterattack in the palace: Revenge of the little maid (Part 36)
“We meet again, you don’t have anything you want to say to this one?” Feng Yu slowly looked up with a faint smile on his lips, “Weren’t you very good at speaking that day in the cave?”
Under the candlelight, if one looked closely, they could see that this girl was very beautiful. She was pure and smart, playful and cute, while also not losing her calm and indifference.
“What does the emperor want to hear?” Luo Qing Chen lowered her eyes and said, “This servant will say that.”
Luo Qing Chen’s voice was very cold. It wasn’t entirely because of etiquette, but because Concubine Rou’s words kept echoing in her head.
The emperor wants you.
The emperor wants you.
The emperor wants you.
“Don’t you want some reward from this one?” Feng Yu looked at her and raised a brow, “After all, you are the one who saved this one.”
Luo Qing Chen narrowed her eyes and looked at Feng Yu with absolute calmness, “The emperor will give me whatever reward I want?”
“Of course.” Feng Yu’s eyes as deep as ink looked at her, “This one promises.”
“The servant does indeed want a reward.”
“Speak.”
Luo Qing Chen looked up and said, “This servant asks the emperor for an engagement. This servant wants to marry Sir Song Nan Mo, the minister of the ministry of industry.”
“Peng.” There was the sound of a cup shattering.
The maids and eunuchs around all immediately kneeled down and said, “Emperor, please calm down.”
Luo Qing Chen also kneeled and closed her eyes. Her expression was calm, but she was a bit afraid in her heart.
She didn’t fully believe Concubine Rou at first, but in this situation, she had to believe it.
The emperor……wanted her……
He was confident that he could agree if she asked for gold, silver, jewelry, it was even fine if she asked for ten thousand taels of gold. He could make her a noble after agreeing and let her fly up the branch to become a phoenix.
Then she would be kept in the palace.
But he never thought that she would ask for an engagement.
“Luo Qing Chen.” Feng Yu looked at her and said, “A maid having an affair with a guard will be extremely punished. Are you sure that what you said just now wasn’t nonsense?”
Feng Yu was threatening her, he was openly threatening her.
On the surface he was letting her think it through, but in reality he was having her choose between Song Nan Mo or death.
“This servant……”
“Reporting to the emperor. Sir Song has turned back saying that he had something to say and is currently outside the Supreme Hall.” A eunuch who reported suddenly came in and interrupted what she was about to say.
Luo Qing Chen didn’t show the slightest bit of fear in her eyes. She knew that Song Nan Mo must have come back after receiving the message from Concubine Rou, so she knew that he was here for her.
“Let him come in.” Feng Yu looked at Luo Qing Chen and said, “This one wants to hear what he has to say.”
“What a coincidence.” Luo Qing Chen looked up with a calm look and said, “This servant also wants to know.”
“This subordinate greets the emperor.” When Song Nan Mo came in, his eyes fell onto Luo Qing Chen.
He deeply knitted his brows and his expression didn’t look good.
“Nan Mo, this maid of Concubine Rou’s Righteous Declaration Palace, Luo Qing Chen just asked this one for an engagement.” Feng Yu looked at Song Nan Mo and said, “How do you think this one should take care of her?”
“Emperor, please calm down. This subordinate has a few words to say.” Song Nan Mo tightly knitted his brows, “Things…..are not as Qing Chen says.”
Luo Qing Chen trembled before a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Even if we can’t share wealth, we should at least share hardships. She had 80% affection, so Song Nan Mo’s words made her heart tremble.
“Oh? So it’s her who admires you unilaterally and you don’t love her?” When he said this, there was a smile that was hard to conceal on Feng Yu’s lips.
