Chapter 24 (1/2)

Luo Wei kept his head down and read He said those things intentionally to E Wu had a world of wealth and didn't care much aboutWu could just sit comfortably and let histo rob him of his throne It doesn't matter if what Luo Wei said was true or not If it was about the eate it to the very end

They sat together until noon Luo Wei ate lunch with the e Wu had ordered someone to find out from the Luo estate what Luo Wei liked to eat He knew that the boy wasn't interested in etarian

After lunch, E a short rest Luo Wei took the chance and asked the eo see the empress?”

Eave him leave

Luo Wei then arrived at the Hall of the Gracious Phoenix(1)

Luo Zhi Yi didn't have a bias against her nephew like Bo Hua did, she rather liked hih she was still startled when he showed up all of a sudden Like others, she also thought that it was Luo Zhi Jin--her younger sister--coh and pulled hi

Luo Wei had h ability to play cute and make people happy now A feords here and there and he was already able to draw shed heavily for Luo Zhi Yi This aunt of his was generous and open as a person, and still retained soh she'd been deep in the palace for years A woman like this couldn't survive in the depths of the Back Palaces if she fell out of favor with the emperor Luo Zhi Yi's days had becoed from the eht of plotting for herself, a last ditch attempt at competition, but she didn't have the skills So her final end was to see her family be destroyed, her title as empress be taken away, and eventually commit suicide in the Cold Palace

After he was done charoodbye and excused himself

A few steps out of the Hall of the Gracious Phoenix, Luo Wei addressed the one who saw him off quietly This man was the head eunuch of the Hall of the Gracious Phoenix, Shang Xi, ”Mister(2), do you know a place where we could have a few private words with each other?”

Shang shi+ lead Luo Wei to a quiet, secluded spot

Without saying anything, Luo Wei took the jade orna Xi

”Young Master?” Shang Xi startled, and hurriedly got on his knees, ”This humble servant is not worthy”

Luo Wei bent down and helped Shang Xi up He didn't question this elder eunuch's loyalty In the past life, when the empress had died by her own hand, everyone had pretended that nothing had happened This eunuch was the only person who found his oay to the Cold Palace, and observed proper rites by poisoning himself so he could follow his mistress to her death He certainly didn't do it out of desperation, considering he'd already been dispatched to the Hall of Eternal Light two years before The empress' death made no direct impact on his position

”Young Master, what are you doing this for?” Shang Xi asked Luo Wei quietly

”Do you not like this piece of jade?” Luo Wei asked back

Shang Xi answered quickly, ”This humble servant doesn't dare, but I can't accept a reward if I haven't done anything to deserve it”
