C143 Lets go home (2/2)

”Yes.” Mu Ru Yue nodded.

”Since This King's consort has finished copying the Buddhist scriptures, can we leave now?” When Feng Li saw Mu Ru Yue being released, he lost all of the respect he had for the empress.

The empress was infuriated by this attitude, but there was nothing she could do. She could only say, ”Forget it, all of you can go now.”

With that, Feng Chen pulled Mu Ru Yue's hand and walked outside. Mu Ru Yue let Feng Li pull her as she looked at him from the side. Her heart was at peace. Feng Chen didn't stop to rest until they were outside the empress's chambers. She asked, ”Why are you following me to the palace?”

”Her Majesty ordered. The steward should have already told you, right? ” Mu Ru Yue said helplessly.

Phoenix Seep was surprised to hear this. Before he could finish listening to the butler, he heard that Mu Ru Yue was brought to the palace by the empress. He didn't think too much about it. He had thought that the Empress Dowager was only standing up for the Empress in the palace. It was the Empress Dowager's idea.

As Phoenix Seep thought this, the expression in his peach blossom eyes darkened.

”Phoenix Seep, the empress wishes for me to use Linglong Palace today as the venue for the imperial concubine selection banquet.” Mu Ru Yue's voice wasn't loud, but her expression darkened when she heard that.

After a long while, he squeezed out a few words through his gritted teeth. ”Linglong Palace? Is that their goal? ”

”That's about right. Esteemed Empress suddenly ordered me to visit Linglong Palace today, saying that I wanted to activate it. If I didn't meet Princess Wuyou, I probably wouldn't even know where Linglong Palace came from and would've been almost tricked by the empress.”

When Mu Ru Yue thought about what had happened today, she felt a lingering fear.

”The empress doesn't have that kind of brain.” Feng Chen said disdainfully. The corner of Mu Ru Yue's mouth twitched when she heard that. Although she felt that her words made sense, she was still the empress!

”It must have been her idea for Granny to suddenly stand on the empress's side, right? Activating the Linglong Palace will weaken my power and power in the eyes of the masses, and at the same time, it will cause all evidence that I am an eyesore to completely disappear from their eyes. ” Feng Chen's tone was filled with killing intent.

”An eyesore?” Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but be stunned.

Feng Chen realized that she had said too much, so she changed her words. ”It's nothing. If she makes things difficult for you again, you can agree to her request. As for the rest, I'll take care of them.”

Feng Chen's tone could be considered gentle, but Mu Ru Yue's heart chilled to the core. She couldn't help but chuckle. ”You agree? Phoenix Seep, just who do you think I am? ”

”Someone very important to me.” Feng Chen said seriously.

Mu Ru Yue choked and her anger was instantly reduced by half. Looking at the man's beautiful face, she couldn't help but sigh. ”You value me greatly, how could I not? Take my peach and give it back to Qiong Yao. That place is very important to you. As long as the Queen doesn't use my head as a threat, I won't let you go. At the very least, I won't be a weakness of yours in this matter. ”

The woman's voice couldn't be considered very pleasant, but every word was loud and powerful, causing people to feel at ease. Feng Chen could only feel that in this world, Murong Yue was probably the most beautiful person. Every word was spoken in his heart.

Looking at her, only gentleness remained in Feng Chen's eyes. He said, ”Let's go. This King will bring you home.”
