Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

Chapter 652 - Lu Fenying, That Old Fox

652 Lu Fenying, That Old Fox

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 embarrassment, “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 identity is, she is of lowly blood,” one of the nobles 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?”

Hearing his words, Gu Bailu yelled “Not good!” in her heart.

She hurriedly said, “But if the crown prince feels that the slave is from his residence and is bound to him, we will also support him.”

Damn it. Gu Bailu suddenly wondered if Lu Fenying had intentionally lured them into the palace to speak on his behalf.

“Exactly. The princess and I also think that the crown prince is right. She may be a slave, but she can’t be given away so easily. After all, she belongs to someone.”

Feng Qingtian spoke considerately.

The emperor felt that these two seemed to have a close relationship with Lu Fenying.

It was said that Prince Zi had been staying at the crown prince’s residence since arriving in Heavenly Wind Empire.

Now, the two of them were speaking up for Lu Fenying.

Holding Feng Qingtian’s hand, Gu Bailu cursed Lu Fenying in her heart. This cunning man had indeed lured them to the royal palace.

“Prince Zi is a sensible man, while the ministers of our country are truly disappointing,” Lu Fenying remarked.

The people kneeling were confused.

So, Prince Zi and his wife, who wanted to trade Qian’er for a city, decided not to do so because they felt that it wasn’t good to snatch someone else’s belongings?

So, the crown prince felt that Qian’er was his slave and also his possession, and had to resolutely protect his dignity and remain firm in front of the city?

In other words, the crown prince wouldn’t do the exchange, not because he was in love with the female slave, but because he would lose his dignity by agreeing to the deal with Prince Zi?

Prince Zi and Princess Zi themselves also felt that they were wrong.

Then what were the officials and nobles opposing?

Holding Prince Zi’s hand, Gu Bailu was furious. Lu Fenying this fox had calculated that they wouldn’t let the matter of Qian’er’s Dragon Spirit Blood be exposed.
