Chapter 652 - Lu Fenying, That Old Fox (1/2)

Although they were kneeling, they put on a united front.

This was probably the first time in many years that Lu Fenying had faced such vehement opposition, so he didn’t look too good.

Feng Qingtian pulled Gu Bailu along with him to pay their respects.

The emperor hurriedly had them sit and said in embarra.s.sment, “We’re discussing some important matters today, but I couldn’t let you feel slighted. I can only let you see this…”

“No, it was I who came at the wrong time,” Feng Qingtian said modestly.

Gu Bailu looked at Lu Fenying, who was looking at Feng Qingtian mockingly.

Came at the wrong time? Didn’t you deliberately choose to come at this time?

Qian’er had actually regained consciousness earlier on, but in the face of such a stifling atmosphere, she feigned sleep.

Now that she heard Feng Qingtian and Gu Bailu’s voices, she felt that she was saved, and slowly opened her eyes.

“However, the princess and I are here because of Qian’er. Qian’er is my princess’s disciple, who saved her life before, so I want to take her away, and am willing to trade a city for her. I didn’t expect the matter to blow up to this extent.”

The emperor said hesitantly, “So it turns out this slave is the princess’s disciple.”

“Your Majesty, whatever her ident.i.ty is, she is of lowly blood,” one of the n.o.bles said.

Even though she was the crown prince’s slave now, that didn’t change the fact that she was a slave.

The kneeling ministers nodded in agreement.

Bloodlines couldn’t be mixed – that had always been the way.

“I know what the situation is like in Heavenly Wind Empire, which is why I want to bring Qian’er back to Southern Glory Empire.”

Lu Fenying smiled. “Is that so? Are you trading for her because you truly care about her? Why don’t you tell us how Qian’er saved Princess Zi?”
