Chapter 321: The Biggest Fox (2/2)
On the other side, Pei Qingfeng and Pei Rumo were in an endless dispute in the First Prince’s residence.
“Why did you spout so much bullshit in the imperial court? No one ever came out of the Desolate Region alive! If something happens to Luo Chu, how are you going to take responsibility for your actions?” Pei Qingfeng raged.
Pei Rumo wasn’t going to allow Pei Qingfeng to do all the talking, “You have disrespected His Majesty in front of all the civil and military officials! If I were the emperor, I would’ve thrown you out! If I wasn’t there to stop you, you would have completely offended Emperor Father.”
“So be it. I don’t wish to sit on the throne and he can’t do anything about it. He has already done so many bad things! He should be the one afraid of criticism!” Seeing that the old emperor placed Bai Luochu in danger, Pei Qingfeng no longer cared about manners and he shot his mouth off.
When Pei Qingfeng faced Pei Qingfeng who was bordering on irrational, he reprimanded, “I’m trying to hold myself back, but can’t you think about your actions? You’re turning into a brainless idiot when it comes to anything involving Luo Chu! In the end, you’re acting like a lunatic because you want to accompany her there as well, right?!”
Pei Qingfeng muttered, “Yes....”
Pei Rumo’s head was about to explode. “Can’t you just trust me for once? I don’t care what you think of me! Sinister, scheming or despicable… You can think whatever you want. As for Luo Chu, I will never allow her to be harmed. Even if I have to use my life to protect her, I will ensure her safety! Can you calm down now?!”
Pei Qingfeng slowly raised his head and asked, “Are you telling the truth? Are you sure you will risk your life to protect Luoluo?”
Pei Rumo wasn’t happy with how Pei Qingfeng had been addressing Bai Luochu but he nodded anyway. “Absolutely. Right now, you need to look for the flexible hedgehog armor in your treasury and pass it to Luo Chu. That can serve as the last line of defense in case I am unable to get to her in time.”
Pei Qingfeng nodded and felt that this statement was the most useful one Pei Rumo uttered the entire day. He quickly made his way back to the Second Prince’s residence in order to look for the armor.
Pei Rumo thought everything through and Pei Qingfeng was acting like a cat on a hot tin roof. The final party, Lu Wenshu, finally showed up in the First Prince’s residence after receiving the news.
“Young Master Lu sure is free today...” Pei Rumo felt drained. First, he had to deal with the emperor, then, he had to deal with Pei Qingfeng. Right now, Lu Wenshu appeared. This was the liveliest his First Prince’s residence had been in a long time.
Lu Wenshu didn’t exchange any conventional greetings and immediately got to the point. “I am here today to discuss a deal with Your First Highness.”
