Chapter 24: Your servant is a Chinese Cabbage
Xia Yuqing stayed expressionless for a while. Speechless and dumbfounded, tears began to flow. As expected, she had thought this world was too simple. These days of tranquility as it turns out was the legendary calm before the storm.
To go as far as to dispatch his own personal men to the State of Xia to investigate her. Wahhh, Ultra Seme Lord, why do you have to be so treacherous and cunning, making your people do this?
*Cough cough* Without showing anything, she placed her hand above her heart, feigning her unperturbed state. “Your Majesty, Chen Qie has something to say about this matter. In fact, there is an ulterior motive that Chen Qie can explain, if you are willing….”
Xia Yuqing closed in on Feng Tingye to flatter him, clutching the front of his clothing.
Feng Tingye saw the little kitten tightly clutching his gown, two eyes constantly looking all over the place, not daring to look straight into his eyes. Thinking she was acting cool-headed, but in fact negligently revealing her anxious appearance.
The corner of his mouth rose a bit. Deliberately lowering his body to lean close to her ear’s most sensitive location, satisfyingly ** retorted: “Zhen feels that taking a nap like this is very good, Ai Fei no matter what you say, Zhen is also able to specially clarify it. Ai Fei can say whatever she likes.”
“…” Xia Yuqing didn’t even have enough time to blush from Feng Tingye’s actions before she was shaken by Feng Tingye’s words.
Within her heart, she silently shed tears for a moment. Xia Yuqing then lightly coughed, solemnly turning towards him. “Your Majesty, this is a discouraging and sorrowful tale. If Your Majesty wants Chen Qie to speak, it is possible. Just be aware that I will be very emotional when speaking of it, tears and snot will be rus.h.i.+ng out… Your Majesty, it might be better to be a bit further from Chen Qie. Chen Qie might accidentally defile Your Majesty’s precious dragon robe. So…”
After this implication, Xia Yuqing only felt a light flash across her eyes. Looking once again, Feng Tingye was already at the side of the bed standing upright. With a serious face, he patted down his clothes fixing up the disorder. “Now are you able to speak?”
“…” Xia Yuqing resolutely looked down upon that person. Rolling her eyes then tidying up her clothing, she made a vigorous leap off the bed and walked towards Feng Tingye.
Feng Tingye stared blankly, eyes squinting a bit. Just when his raised right hand was about to drop, Xia Yuqing’s sudden bawling caused his hand to stiffen unable to move.
“Your Majesty, Chen Qie didn’t lie to you on purpose. I had no other choice! Your Majesty…” Weeping and howling loudly, the rigid servant girls and palace eunuchs standing outside the palace hall was shaken and something from the tree fell out with a thwap.
“Huh? What was that sound?” Hearing some sounds outside, her weeping stopped. But upon seeing Feng Tingye’s petrified expression, slyly, she pinched her own thigh and proceeded to bawl again. “Your Majesty, Chen Qie was also acting involuntarily! Chen Qie was born from the royal family but the palace harem is so vicious. Chen Qie does not have any ill.u.s.trious reputation because of my mother’s background. In addition to the birthmark I have, from childhood I have suffered all kinds of humiliation. Chen Qie has suffered so much!”
