64 The Determination Of The Iron-Blooded Troop Iii (1/2)
The old Feng Ruqing had insisted on giving the Iron-Blooded Token to n.o.ble Consort Rong.
On that day, the whole Iron-Blooded Troop kneeled at her door. They listed out the challenges faced by the Empress and even described to her about the hards.h.i.+p in forming the Iron-Blooded Troop in hopes of convincing her to get the Iron-Blooded Token back.
However, what Feng Ruqing said had completely broken every troop member's heart into pieces.
She said, she was the owner of the troop while they were just her servants. Since they were the people her imperial mother had given to her, she had the right to give them to anyone she liked. n.o.body could question or stop her. To her, these people were not any different from the spirit beasts which could be tossed around.
Since then, the troop members had never begged her for anything again. Their broken hearts simply could not feel warmth anymore.
Tang Zi tightened her fists. On that fateful day, no matter how they pleaded with her, she had just ignored their request to get the Iron-Blooded Token back. Why did she choose to get it back now? Could it be due to their cold treatment toward n.o.ble Consort Rong, so she asked Feng Ruqing to be the middleperson?
Nevertheless, the Iron-Blooded Troop was different from other military troops. The Imperial City's military troop was affiliated with the whole kingdom. So they had to obey the military order given by anyone who had the military token in hand.
However, these women chose to follow their instincts and as they were pampered by His Majesty, had never failed to give a long face to n.o.ble Consort Rong.
Up until today, n.o.ble Consort Rong still could not forcefully confront them as she feared the troop's power!
”Did n.o.ble Consort Rong request you to come here?” Tang Zi mocked her and laughed bitterly. ”Besides n.o.ble Consort Rong, who dares or is able to command you, the princess? Even if you have given her the Iron-Blooded Token, we will never obey her commands. Ask her to give it up!”
Feng Ruqing sighed. How serious was the trauma caused by the previous owner (Feng Ruqing)? Even though she was genuine and sincere, n.o.body was willing to trust her!
”I understand that it's impossible for you to trust me fully, but please don't worry, I will prove myself to you and all of you will submit to me willingly based on my own ability. I will never depend on my father's power.”
If Feng Ruqing really wanted something, she could just tell Feng Tianyu about it. They would still somehow obey his command.
