A Female King’s Love Story - Chapter 28
The Death Spell stared at this woman who had gone berserk. The corner of its mouth twitched. This woman had once been a princess of a kingdom, but now she was a monarch. It was natural for her to have some self-cultivation.
Qiao Qiao’s eyes were still slanted as he sized up Zheng Fan with an unfriendly gaze.
“Why don’t you hand over the person who assassinated me or pay a reasonable price!” Qiao Qiao still rolled her eyes. She was sure that the Art of Death would protect the weak spot.
“I personally made a move. I was originally not willing to exchange for anything because I was ashamed of you. That’s why I gave a fair price. Since you can’t afford it, then forget it.” Nie Tian shrugged. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to hand over Bai Ning, it was just that he felt that this was an internal matter of the Broken Moon Palace and it had nothing to do with Qiao.
Kao! Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but crooked his mouth. This man really dared to say that he wouldn’t trade for a thousand gold. He was just an assassin’s guild that took money from a person to deal with others. Yet he was still pretending to be noble here!
“However, if Your Majesty can agree to this sovereign’s request, then this sovereign will accept your deal for free.” Nie Yan shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
I Kao! Joe was still glaring at the man. It looked like he was waiting for her. Today, Japan wanted to set a trap for him, but to think that he still managed to set it up! No wonder he looked so cunning today!
“Tell me about it.” Qiao Qiao still compromised. A hundred thousand taels of gold. Even if she emptied the treasury, she probably wouldn’t be able to gather this much.
“This sovereign wants the Emperor to bear the pain of cutting off his love and gift this sovereign something.” Nie Tian raised an eyebrow.
“Our most precious thing is our own. Asgard Master, don’t talk about it. You have taken a fancy to us!” Qiao Qiao was still frowning. She knew what he wanted, but this fellow’s appetite was not small.
“Your Majesty doesn’t need to pretend to be stupid. This sovereign wants the medallion of the hidden guard Yue Bian that your majesty is searching for in Yan Mo Chen’s hands today.” The death spell pierced the path.
“Oh ~ That, what a pity, it’s not in my hands now!” Joe shrugged his shoulders in a leisurely manner, but his heart skipped a beat. So what she did couldn’t be hidden from his eyes. He really didn’t know how many spies she had planted in the palace.
Death frowned. Joe still didn’t look like he was lying. He was still a step too late.
“It seems that the deal between the Hierarch of Japan and the Emperor will not be a success.” Nie Tian pursed his lips, looking as though he was feeling sorry for Nie Li.
“Otherwise.” “Perhaps the Palace Master can try to raise other conditions.”
“Oh? Your Majesty, do you think that this sovereign will be able to gain anything from you, a puppet emperor who has been placed under house arrest? ” asked Death.
Joe kept his head down, and what he said made sense. She really couldn’t give him any benefits.
“But this sovereign would like to hear whose head the emperor wants to buy?” Nie Tian asked curiously.
“Xi Xiangyang.” Joe continued to smile.
“Oh? The Emperor bought the life of his favorite concubine? It seems like the words of accompanying a Jun like a tiger is indeed true. ” Nie Tian chuckled.
“He shouldn’t have kept his life until now.” Qiao once again sneered. “Since today’s matter isn’t appropriate, I will think of another way.” Joe turned and was about to leave.
“Where’s the emperor’s promised grand gift?” Ku’Sin called after Joe.
“Didn’t the palace master reject it?” Qiao Qiao still said without turning back.
Nie Yan pursed his lips in interest. This woman definitely didn’t play according to the rules.
“This sovereign agreed.” Yu Fu looked at Qiao Qiao’s retreating figure and used his inner Qi to whisper into Qiao Qiao’s ear.
Joe still didn’t answer, but the corner of his mouth lifted slightly. She knew that he would agree.
“But this sovereign wants the jade pendant in Your Majesty’s hands.” The bald man sent a mental message.
He thought for a moment, then took out the jade pendant from his waist. It was the same jade pendant that she had taken with her when they were exploring Prime Minister Luo’s estate. Although she had not found out the origin of the jade pendant, it was still useless to her.
“Here you go.” Qiao once again turned around and ruthlessly threw the jade pendant at the technique.
He smiled, turned around, and firmly held the jade pendant in his hand.
“You and I owe each other nothing.” The corner of Joe’s lips curled up as he turned to leave.
This time, Qiao Qiao carefully made his way back to the palace. The palace was still the same as before she left, heavily guarded, and patrolling the imperial guards.
“Your majesty!” Xiyue looked at Qiao Qiao’s figure that still entered. Her worried heart was finally at ease.
“Are there any movements outside?” Qiao Qiao was still frowning as he asked. If Qingwu had already given the command token to Eunuch Gao, then Eunuch Gao would have immediately brought someone over. Now that it was so quiet, was Qingwu exposed?
“Nope.” Xiyue shook her head.
Qiao Qiao still frowned for a long time. After changing out of her night clothes and changing into her usual bright and light dress, she strode out of the palace. There was no one around her that could be trusted. It seemed like she needed to personally inquire.
“Your majesty!” The imperial guards at the entrance blocked Qiao Qiao’s path. “The Regent ordered for the imperial guards to protect the Emperor’s safety.”
“Is the regent’s order restricting my freedom?”
The face of the commander of the imperial guards stiffened, and he slowly retreated. However, Qiao Qiao still coldly snorted, and strode out in large strides.
“Follow me!” The leader of the imperial guards whispered to a guard beside him.
“Yes.” The little guard nodded and followed Qiao Qiao’s steps.
The corners of Qiao Qiao’s lips curled up slightly as he glanced at the imperial guards behind him. Since he was willing to follow her, she would take him on a tour around the Imperial Palace. She would also have someone accompany her to watch a good show!
