Chapter 24: Second Prince Saves the Day (2/2)

When Bai Luochu saw Pei Qingfeng, her eyes instantly lit up! Wasn’t he a prince? How could she let go of this opportunity?!

Furthermore, it was obvious that Pei Qingfeng was here to help her. Since he had taken the first move, she would be a fool if she failed to take the chance.

“Yes!” Bai Luochu responded simply and stood beside Pei Qingfeng.

In fact, Pei Qingfeng was hesitating before he made the decision to save Bai Luochu. After all, this was the entrance of the imperial palace and today was the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet. Everyone present were people who were from the upper echelon of society and their eyes were sharp. The Second Prince who was never close to any female actually helped a mysterious young lady out of a difficult situation. If some meddlesome individuals were to see it, he didn’t know what story to cook up in order to justify himself

But this lass was really interesting...

After hearing the duo’s conversation, the guards that were closing in quickly stopped. There were some aristocratic descendants who had boldly opened up the curtains of their carriage and were preparing to watch a show. They wanted to catch a glance of the person who was important enough for the Second Prince to speak up.

“Why are you still standing there?” Pei Qingfeng acted like he was going to reprimand her while the corner of his mouth arched upwards to form a trace of a smile. It was rare for him to see this shrewd little lass suffer.

Seeing Pei Qingfeng’s fox-like appearance and the smile on his face he was desperately trying to hide, Bai Luochu’s mouth involuntarily twitched as she walked over to push the wheelchair.

Bai Luochu knew that this sly fox was definitely trying to embarrass her!

Didn’t she just request for two sets of expensive herbs? The poison array in his body was rarely seen and it was also extremely difficult to neutralize. Had it not been for the lack of money, she would have asked for more. She didn’t believe that the old fox didn’t know the difficulty of neutralizing the poison array in his body. Wasn’t he messing with her because of her diagnosis fee? What a petty and stingy person…

Seeing how Bai Luochu was frowning, Pei Qingfeng laughed.

Bai Luochu felt rather resentful towards Pei Qingfeng when he laughed. However, with countless guards surrounding her and with so many experts who could easily kill her with the flick of a finger, she couldn’t possibly vent her anger on Pei Qingfeng. After all, he managed to help her avoid a wave of trouble.

Without any other choice, Bai Luochu clenched her teeth and forced a smile. Maybe because she was biting down too forcefully, the corners of her mouth started to twitch as her eyes narrowed to a line. It even seemed like she was beaming as she looked at the Second Prince.

When Pei Qingfeng saw that Bai Luochu was so angry that her face was twitching, he was delighted. The current Bai Luochu looked like an angry rabbit ready to bite someone. In Pei Qingfeng’s eyes, she looked really adorable.

Pei Qingfeng might be in a pleasant mood, but he still knew that there was a limit to how far he could take things. Tsk, even a rabbit would bite if it was cornered, let alone the fact that this lass wasn’t as obedient as a little rabbit. He should quickly stroke the rabbit’s fur before it gets too angry. If she really turned hostile, he would be the one suffering a loss.

“What are you doing here?” Pei Qingfeng asked softly as this was the biggest suspicion in his heart. This was the imperial palace they were talking about, not some random inn or restaurant. It wasn’t somewhere Bai Luochu should be.

Seeing how blunt Pei Qingfeng was, Bai Luochu no longer had the intention to lie to him. She blurted out, “I want to enter the palace. Do me a favor, will you?”

“What do you want to enter the palace for?” Pei Qingfeng had a suspicious look in his eyes. After meeting her once, he knew that she was a person who wouldn’t act unless she could benefit herself.

“Just looking around... After all, I’m an ignorant fool” Bai Luochu spread out her hands and smiled. “Moreover, with my cultivation, I won’t be able to do anything even if I wanted to.”

Pei Qingfeng didn’t believe the first half of Bai Luochu’s reply. How could she be an ignorant fool?! She was someone who could instantly diagnose him with the well hidden poison array inside his body! As for the second half of her explanation, he felt that she wasn’t lying. If it wasn’t for him, she probably wouldn’t be able to enter the gates of the imperial palace.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Qingfeng laughed and asked, “What benefit will I get for bringing you into the imperial palace?”

Tsk! Was this karma?

Even though the knowledge she possessed wouldn’t be of help to many people, this was Pei Qingfeng they were talking about. Anything she could bring out would definitely benefit this sickly prince considering the fact that she was a medical genius.
