Chapter 758 - In Short Supply (1/2)

Without a proper wife, Qian’er’s status as a concubine would rise, and no n.o.ble family could object strongly to it.

“Yes.”

Gu Bailu relaxed and closed her eyes.

Not long after that, she opened her eyes again and shook Feng Qingtian awake. “My lord, my lord, do you think Lu Fenying did this for Qian’er?”

Otherwise, why wouldn’t he marry? That didn’t make sense.

Feng Qingtian hugged her. “It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”

Gu Bailu, on the other hand, couldn’t fall asleep at all. She tried to fathom Lu Fenying’s thoughts, but couldn’t figure it out.

“If you continue thinking of another man, I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed tomorrow,” said Feng Qingtian hoa.r.s.ely.

Gu Bailu closed her eyes obediently. “I’m not, I’m not, I’m only thinking about my Qingqing.”

“Really? What are you thinking?” Feng Qingtian turned her around and hugged her from behind.

Gu Bailu s.h.i.+vered. “My lord, not tonight. Go to sleep.”

“Since you can’t sleep, why don’t we do something together?”

She was still thinking about Lu Fenying while they were in bed – Feng Qingtian was steeped in jealousy.

In the middle of the night, the princess begged for mercy in the pink cottage until dawn.

Naturally, Feng Qingtian didn’t attend morning court the next day.

He also missed how many officials reported at morning court that many goods in Pale Emperor City had been in short supply recently; in particular, there were fewer entertainment establishments.

What they didn’t dare report was that even the girls in the brothels were no longer as pretty.

The emperor lived in the royal palace and didn’t know that supply was so scarce outside. However, he had heard his concubine complain twice that the food in the palace wasn’t as good as before.

“What’s going on? Investigate it now.”
