The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C243

Chapter 242 – Entering the Bureau

The State Grandmaster turned around and walked over with quick steps. He bent down to look at her, “Fei Er is the clearest in her heart as to who that man is. Naturally, it was the Emperor Yun. He will eventually lose his life for you. ”

Qin Luofei chuckled, her lips flushed from the wine, her smile was exceptionally enchanting. “Don’t tell me that the Imperial Advisor was drunk, to actually say such words. Now that I have been placed under house arrest, no one knows about it, and no one will die because of me. ” Previously, she had already guessed that the State Grandmaster was the Prince Xi, so she naturally knew that his every word was not random. She wanted to know just what kind of profound mystery was contained within his words.

“I don’t mind telling you. Your presence here has been secretly spread. Those who pay attention to you will naturally know of this news. Do you think that he will rush over here? ” The voice of the Imperial Advisor was as calm as the clouds and the wind. Hearing this, it was exceptionally heavy in Qin Luofei’s ears.

“So, you’ve already set up an ambush here waiting for someone to save me? And then, we’ll catch them all in one fell swoop? ” Qin Luofei slowly said. There was still a smile on her lips, as if she didn’t care at all.

It turned out that the Prince Xi did this to make the person who came to save her fall for it.

“I don’t think I’m that attractive. I’m afraid that I’ll be disappointed this time. I’m already a broken flower and a broken willow. There probably isn’t a single man in this world who’s willing to marry me, nor is there any man who’s willing to risk his life for me. Qin Luofei lightly shook the cup in her hand, ripples appearing on the surface of the wine.

The Imperial Advisor was stunned at first, but then he laughed with his head raised: “Fei Er, I really like this kind of you too much. He was obviously scared, but he could still say such words as if nothing had happened. I don’t believe you when you say that you are a broken flower. Based on Emperor Yun’s personality, he won’t force you if you don’t want to! ”

“You actually know about this?” Qin Luofei slowly asked as she fiddled with her wine cup.

Qin Luofei never thought that Prince Xi knew about this matter from that time.

“So that’s how it is. Where is the emperor now?” Qin Luofei lowered her eyelashes, looked at the rippling wine cup, and asked with a smile.

“Are you looking for him?” The Imperial Advisor asked leisurely.

“Naturally. “The Emperor is still my husband after all. Since he’s in trouble, I, as his Imperial Consort, can’t just sit here and do nothing, right?” Qin Luofei raised her watery eyes as she spoke lazily.

The Imperial Advisor’s brows creased imperceptibly. This tiny change had long been seen by Qin Luofei, and she was even more certain that the person in front of her was none other than the Prince Xi.

Qin Luofei took a deep breath, held back the stifling pain in her chest, and chuckled softly, “Imperial Advisor, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back.”

She turned and left, her white skirt brushing past the Imperial Advisor’s black robes. When she passed by him, she didn’t have any intention of stopping. Extending her finger, she gently caressed his face and spoke, “I like the demeanor of the Imperial Advisor. He is somewhat similar to the Emperor.”

She quickly left the room. The Imperial Advisor reached out his hand to caress her face as he tried to picture the warmth of her touch. His eyes narrowed slightly.

Qin Luofei stopped outside the room. The snow had stopped, but the wilderness was still covered in layers of fog. Her gaze swept past the front of the house. As the sky gradually darkened, the red lanterns under the eaves had already been lit. This caused a fear that made her unable to breathe to emerge from the depths of Qin Luofei’s heart.

She had felt this kind of fear before, but it was not as deep as this time.

Her body was getting weaker and weaker, unable to resist the raging wind at all. Tightening her cloak, she stroked her chest lightly. She absolutely could not let Prince Xi’s scheme succeed.

Returning to the small courtyard they were staying in, they unexpectedly saw Imperial Consort Leng.

“I think you already know why I suddenly want to catch you!” The Imperial Consort Leng’s words carried a sense of pride.

Qin Luofei looked at the Imperial Consort Leng quietly.

They hadn’t seen each other for a few days. On her pale face, her long, shapely eyebrows and beautiful eyes contained an aura of disdain. She looked at Qin Luofei with a ridiculing expression, the corners of her lips curled up in a relaxed smile.

Qin Luofei’s pitch-black phoenix eyes slowly narrowed, as a sharp, blade-like glint flashed through them. She still had a smile on her face that would cause any person to be enchanted, but it was completely gone. There was no more of that threatening, alluring glow to her.

“Was it your idea?” Qin Luofei knew that the Prince Xi could do anything, but the Prince Xi would not be so clear about the matter between her and the Emperor Yun.

“It is indeed me, so what can you do to me? I just told you how deeply Emperor Yun treats you. This idea is really good. Think about it, if Emperor Yun doesn’t come, then it means that he doesn’t care about you at all. If he comes, he will die in your hands. With the Emperor Yun dead, who would be the next? It’s the Emperor Ming, the Emperor Ming that you have to protect with all your heart. I said that you would eventually lose everything you loved and die of grief. ” The carefree smile on the corner of Imperial Consort Leng’s mouth became cold.

Qin Luofei looked at the Imperial Consort Leng and laughed softly.

He had long anticipated that there would be someone behind the Imperial Consort Leng, but he hadn’t expected that they would actually collude together.

Only, Qin Luofei wasn’t confident that the Emperor Yun would come.

“Qin Luofei, you didn’t think this day would come, right? You spent so much effort to get Emperor Ming to come back, and yet you ended up like this! ” Imperial Consort Leng laughed proudly, the silver hairpin swaying in her hair.

Towards this woman in front of her, she had never thought of letting her go. After all, Prince Xi was the mastermind behind the Leng Family’s murder case, while she was the direct culprit.

With so many people paying a debt of blood, even if she had the same blood as her in her previous life, she had no reason to let her off. However, she didn’t expect that she would be so hopeless, and still be so cold-blooded and unrepentant at this moment.

She and she really had nothing to say.

Qin Luofei walked past her with a calm expression, not even bothering to glance at her once.

Perhaps it was because her calmness had angered the Imperial Consort Leng, but she followed her into the house and said coldly: “At that time, the Emperor Ming will only have me, only me!”

Qin Luofei took off her cloak, and the maid took it. She walked to the front of the desk and sat down. She glanced at Imperial Consort Leng and chuckled: “Then live well and wait for that day!”

“Yes, I will live, and you will die. When I think about how you went through so much trouble and yet ended up like this, I feel unprecedented joy in my heart! ”

Qin Luofei raised her brows, slowly walked to the front of Imperial Consort Leng, and suddenly moved forward, giving her a slap on the face.

Imperial Consort Leng did not expect this slap.

She originally thought that Qin Luofei’s anger reached its peak in order to reason with her, but she didn’t expect that she would directly take action.

With this ruthless slap, Imperial Consort Leng’s face immediately swelled up, and a trickle of blood trickled down the corner of her lips. She covered her face, shook her hands, and angrily said: “Qin Luofei, you … How dare you hit me? This is the place, and you actually dared to hit me? ”

He didn’t slap anyone’s face.

This slap made Imperial Consort Leng feel an unprecedented humiliation.

Qin Luofei clapped her hands and gave an enchanting smile.

“So what if we’re here? Imperial Consort Leng, even if I am beaten up, what can you do to me? “Not only do I dare to hit you, I even dare to kill you right now. Yet, you don’t dare to even touch me!”

Imperial Consort Leng glanced at the few maids standing by the door, their expressions wooden. It was as if they had not seen the scene in front of them at all. She covered half of her face, revealing the other half that had been exposed. Her expression became unsightly.

What Qin Luofei said was right. She dared to kill her at any time, but she didn’t dare to touch Qin Luofei. At least, she did not dare to do so now, because Prince Xi’s plan had not succeeded yet. She had to endure it.

No matter what, no matter what the situation was, she would be suppressed by this woman.

She was unwilling!

However, Qin Luofei ignored the change in Imperial Consort Leng’s expression. She dusted off her clothes, returned to the front of the table, and sat down. With her eyelashes slightly raised, she said, “Imperial Consort Leng, if you are bored, why don’t you guess how I would protect me if I killed you?”

Imperial Consort Leng was very clear in her heart. Prince Xi was very cold to his subordinates, he would not take revenge for anyone. At that time, he would only protect Qin Luofei.

She said coldly, “Qin Luofei, I’ll be waiting for the day you die.”

“Don’t worry. Before that happens, I’ll kill you!” Qin Luofei raised her brows without batting an eyelid. Her expression was tranquil, but the words she spat out were so cold and merciless. Immediately after, she called for the maid to come over and pour them some tea. She leaned back in her chair. Holding the teacup, she warmed her hands and drank the tea. She had a relaxed and lazy look on her face.

At this moment, Imperial Consort Leng was regretting that she did not kill Qin Luofei before she climbed the mountain. Her expression changed a few times, and in the end, she unwillingly retreated.

The appointed day would come in another day. The pavilion was located within the valley, and it was not as chilly as the room. On this snowy day, the sun was warm and the wind was soft. There were lanterns and decorations everywhere, and everything seemed to be beautiful.

As the sun was about to set, the Imperial Advisor brought clothes and jewelry for Qin Luofei.

Qin Luofei couldn’t be bothered to look at these things, but still, she made a show of opening the makeup case. Many of the jewellery and golden hairpins did not arouse her interest. Instead, it was an agate hairpin that attracted her attention. The hairpin was a phoenix spreading its wings, and the carving was especially exquisite.

This piece of jewelry attracted her not because of her exquisite elegance, but because the hairpin was long enough and hard enough to be a lethal weapon.

“These are all specially sent to pick a jewelry store at the foot of the mountain. Miss Qin, why don’t you give it a try?” The maid said respectfully.

Qin Luofei caressed the phoenix on the hairpin and chuckled, “I really didn’t expect that I could also wear a phoenix hairpin. “Come, give me the hairpin.”

Qin Luofei sat in front of the makeup table and gently shook her head. The red pearl that was spat out by that hairpin lightly swayed, adding to her beauty. She glanced in the mirror and saw the amazement in the eyes of the Imperial Advisor. Smiling, she stood up and said, “Imperial Advisor, tomorrow is my last day. Could you accompany me for a walk?
