C158 (1/2)
”Alright, if it really is like this, then I am powerless as well.”
Qin Feng only felt a chill from her feet all the way to her heart.
Maybe she, Qin Feng, would never be able to become Xuanyuan Zhiling's only woman in her entire life.
”Qin Feng, you are already a queen, you should consider things more related to your country.”
As Xuanyuan Zhiling spoke, there was an additional trace of coldness and seriousness in his expression, causing Qin Feng's heart to throb in pain.
”Yes, I am the empress now. Everything should be prioritized by you and your entire Phantom Fire Kingdom.”
After Qin Feng finished speaking, she turned and left, walking step by step with firm steps, with no intention of turning back.
”Qin Feng, I hope you can keep your promise.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling stood behind Qin Feng, and his expression carried a little coldness.
On this day, as Qin Feng was taking a nap in the bedchamber, a shadow suddenly flashed outside the window of her own room. This shadow immediately aroused Qin Feng's vigilance. Originally, Qin Feng was bored out of her mind, but at this moment, she stared outside the window with a pair of sharp eyes.
”Qin Chen? There are people outside the window.
As Qin Feng said this, his expression grew a little colder and more serious. She looked out the window at the sun, and saw that it was only dusk, yet this fellow dared to openly lurk within the Imperial Palace.
”Yes, Empress. Qin Chen will immediately go and investigate.”
Qin Chen had an extremely serious expression on her face as she listened to the voices of the palace. However, there was not a single sound, and Qin Feng knew that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, and in the daytime, she was actually able to enter the palace without being discovered. Instead, she was able to leave no traces behind.
Qin Feng sighed lightly, and picked up the teacup on the table to sip. She was too nervous just now, and her mouth was parched.
”Strange, Qin Chen has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back yet?”
Qin Feng muttered and began to worry about Qin Feng's safety. Because Qin Chen had already been gone for a while.
”The servant girl from empress will be back soon. She followed me and I only punished her a little.”
Suddenly, a voice that did not belong to Qin Feng appeared in the room. Qin Feng was startled, her gaze quickly sweeping across her bedchamber, and realized that someone was standing next to the screen without him knowing.
As this person stood in the shadows, the sunlight outside the window was no longer enough to clearly see his face, but the contours of his face still left a deep impression on Qin Feng.
”Who are you?!”
Qin Feng stood up, frowning as she stared at the man with such a imposing figure.
”Where did you get my maidservant?!”
Qin Feng frowned even more. She knew that the man in front of him was not simple.
”And how did you get in?”
The man in front of her smiled. He looked a bit bookish and gentle.
”Empress, this young master only said one sentence after entering the room, but you've already asked me so many questions. Which one do you want me to answer first?”
Although the man called Qin Feng the Empress respectfully, his tone didn't contain any reverence.
”How dare you!? If I ask you a question, you can answer it honestly!”
Qin Feng was slightly startled, and a complicated expression quickly flashed across her eyes.
”This little one doesn't dare, but I was surprised that you could enter so easily.”
The man sneered, his smile carrying traces of pride.
This expression infuriated Qin Feng, causing him to clench her fists as she stared coldly at the man in front of him.
”You haven't answered my question.”
Qin Feng said with a cold face, her expression even uglier than before.
”This lowly one came only to see the empress's appearance, I didn't expect …”
The man smiled faintly with a complicated expression on his face.
”What?” Is this empress very disappointing to you? ”
Qin Feng's brows furrowed even more. She was even more curious about this man's identity.
”No, this young master is very surprised. I never thought that the current empress would be such a devastatingly beautiful woman.”
When the man said till here, his eyes seemed to inadvertently size up Qin Feng.
”Then can you tell me now? Who exactly are you? ”
This man wore a white robe and held a fan in her hand. She looked like a pink-faced scholar, but Qin Feng knew that his skills were extremely high.
”A few days ago, my father was imprisoned because of an order from the empress. Now, empress should know who I am, right?”
When Qin Feng heard this, she looked up and down at this man. His father, General Baiwei, was extremely mighty, but he never thought that he would have such a gentle son.
”You are the son of General Song You?”
Qin Feng said indifferently, she had already roughly guessed the man's intentions, it was no more than begging for mercy on Song You's behalf, or even coming over to threaten her, to release him.
”That's right, I am Song Mingzhi, the son of General Hundred Might, Song You.”
Saying this, Song Mingzhi smiled faintly, and a trace of calculation flashed past his eyes.
”You're here to plead for your father, aren't you?”
Qin Feng's face instantly turned cold, and already had a bit of disgust towards the Song Mingzhi in front of him.
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Song Mingzhi smiled faintly and walked out from the shadows. That handsome face was exposed to Qin Feng's eyes.
His eyes were bright, and even though the person standing in front of him was the empress, he was still walking leisurely.
”If I'm really here to plead on behalf of my father, then I don't need to take such a huge risk and sneak in, right?”
Song Mingzhi let out a light laugh, and looked at Qin Feng with eyes that had an additional tinge of affection.
”Then why did you infiltrate my bedchamber?”
