Chapter 328: Reply (1/2)

Cai Ling originally thought that her mistress was just a little cold. When she saw how the two princes treated her, even Cai Ling was moved. She never expected her mistress to be so indifferent.

The long sigh from Cai Ling had directly affected Bai Luochu’s thoughts. She laid on the bed and looked up at the ceiling, lost in thought. It wasn’t because she wasn’t moved by Pei Qingfeng’s actions. Instead, she didn’t dare to be moved. The betrayal was still fresh in her mind. Before taking her revenge, she wouldn’t allow herself to fall in love. As she slowly drifted off into dreamland, her mind was still thinking about various things.When she woke up the next morning, she felt exhausted.

It was a long night and Bai Luochu wasn’t the only person who didn’t sleep well. Pei Rumo had been in his study room for an entire night.

“Master, it is already so late. Young Lady Luo Chu shouldn’t be coming over. Why don’t you go to bed?” Zi Su saw the moon hanging in the middle of the night sky and felt that it was pointless to wait any longer. Ever since Pei Rumo came back from the general’s residence, he locked himself in the study room refusing to leave. He was waiting for Bai Luochu’s reply.

Pei Rumo was still looking at the entrance of the study room as he said, “I will wait a little longer. It isn’t time for night curfew yet. What if she comes and I fail to receive the reply?”

Of course, Pei Rumo was talking about Bai Luochu. Pei Rumo wasn’t confident that Bai Luochu would accept the imperial decree and go on the campaign to the Desolate Region.

After all... Pei Rumo mocked himself. He knew that he had many dealings with her and also knew that she would only do things that benefited herself. If his conditions weren't tempting enough, he was certain she wouldn’t accept.

When Zi Su saw her master spacing out, she felt that it wasn’t worth it. “His Majesty was the one who ordered her to go… Young Lady Luo Chu can’t possibly defy the imperial order, right? Why don’t Master relax?”

“Not necessarily. Emperor Father’s intentions are to test Luo Chu’s limits. If she doesn’t feel like going, she can head over to the imperial palace and offer Emperor Father some benefits. As long as she offers enough, he will be happy to retract his order.” Pei Rumo stated.

Zi Su’s eyes widened and even though Pei Rumo might think highly of her, she would never have thought that the all-mighty emperor of a nation would resort to such low means.

The more he thought about it, the more Pei Rumo became depressed. He felt that his odds of success were dropping when she failed to reciprocate his feelings. Now that he thought about the old emperor’s intentions, he felt that his odds of marrying Bai Luochu became lower than ever.

No matter what, Pei Rumo would never give up the chance of spending time with her. Even though Lu Wenshu might have popped out of nowhere, Pei Rumo felt that he couldn’t be considered an obstacle in his path. Even if the journey was dangerous, Pei Rumo wanted to bring Bai Luochu along. He also believed that he had the ability to protect her.
