Chapter 127 (2/2)

Mo Qi Qi swallows heavily, completely scared, ”Your Majesty, whatever it is, we can reason with words.  There is no need to use violence.  Chenqie is carrying your child, wouldn't you regret it if something happens to the baby?”

”Empress is purposely angering zhen like this, could it be because you actually want something to happen to the child?  Zhen wants to keep the child, so even if you don't, you can't do anything to it.  With no other way to go, you purposely angered zhen so that zhen would punish you and in the process, indirectly hurt our baby.”  Jun Qian Che's eyes are sharp.

Mo Qi Qi is shocked to hear that. Her conscience is clear, she would never hurt the child.  In fact, she only does all this to protect the baby.

”Your Majesty, you misunderstood chenqie.  Chenqie is only thinking for your own good.  Chenqie is pregnant and cannot serve, that's why chenqie ordered the other meimeis to serve you.  Is there any one of them that you like?” she blinks her large eyes charmingly.

Jun Qian Che lets go of her chin, ”No.”  He sits on the throne right next to her's.

Mo Qi Qi purses her lips in disappointment.  Her eyes fall on the pendant that he is holding.  She stealthily made a grab for it, but he is faster and lifts it above their heads.  He is much taller than her, so she cannot reach it even if she tries.  She sighs in disappointment, ”Your Majesty, that was given to chenqie by chenqie's father.  You should return it to the original owner.”

Jun Qian Che raises his eyebrows in disdain, ”Return it to the original owner?  Duke Zhen gave it to you so you could use it during emergency, but instead, you used it to help other women approach zhen!  Duke Zhen would be furious if he knows!  You reduced the value of this pendant to that level!  This pendant was given by the late Emperor to Duke Zhen, so technically, zhen is the original owner.”

”You are being unreasonable, Your Majesty!” accuses Mo Qi Qi.

”Zhen is only teaching you a lesson.  From now on, you must not act recklessly.  You must not lie to zhen either,” replies Jun Qian Che coldly.

Deep deep deep down inside, Mo Qi Qi's conscience p.r.i.c.ked.  But her face remains undefeated, ”When did chenqie ever lie to you?”

”You are still talking back?  You tried to use the phoenix seal as the reward for bedding zhen.  Even offered them the phoenix seat for a month!   Weren't all that the rewards that you promised the concubines?”

”Er—–” In the blink of an eye, Mo Qi Qi is rendered speechless.  She always thought that he was too busy to pay attention to her, she did not expect him to know everything.

”What?  You have nothing to say now?” Jun Qian Che looks at her coldly.

Mo Qi Qi smiles foolishly, ”Chenqie was only thinking for Your Majesty's happiness.  Tonight is indeed an auspicious night, that's why chenqie arranged all that!  Isn't chenqie generous, Your Majesty?  Will chenqie get a reward?”

Jun Qian Che raises an eyebrow before smiling roguishly.  He leans closer towards her and picks up her chin again, ”You are indeed generous.  Since this is an auspicious night, zhen rewards you by letting you spend the night with zhen.  What do you think?”
