Chapter 326: Acting within a play, pretending to be a play 4
"Okay." Luo Yunxi nodded with a smile. "Of course I trust you, and I treat this favor sincerely. What I sell is your friend. As long as the ninth brother can listen to your words like me, I will have the opportunity to serve the imperial court in the future."
Of course there is still one.”
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Qing Ning Yingying bowed
She was still a little moved, and what they each said was mixed with their own meanings.
She expressed her loyalty to Luo Yunchen, and he calmly relaxed.
Even though they are still hiding something behind their words, they are not stupid people and can naturally understand each other's meaning.
She was moved because he really regarded her as a friend as he said. Otherwise, how could he say such things to her if he already had fears in his heart?
Qing Ning was about to leave. After all, this was the Wanjing Palace, a place where even the harem and concubines were not allowed to enter without being summoned. She didn't want to stay too long and attract gossip.
The eunuch outside the palace hurriedly came in, knelt down and said: "To inform the emperor, Concubine Jin is requesting an audience outside the palace."
Qing Ning frowned slightly. It was not a good thing to meet Ouyang Chuanhua here. She could neither retreat nor stay. She couldn't help but turn her eyes to Luo Yunxi.
"No," he lowered his eyes and picked up his cinnabar pen again, saying impatiently.
The eunuch did not respond and went out, but added awkwardly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jin said that if the Emperor does not see her, she will not be able to kneel down outside the palace."
The sun was scorching outside, and Qing Ning couldn't help but feel worried. In her heart, she even blamed Ouyang Chuanhua for being so stupid that she knelt down for a long time just to beg for a visit. Wasn't this forcing the emperor to compromise? She didn't know why.
I had to worry secretly and didn't dare to ask out loud.
"If she wants to kneel, let her kneel!" Luo Yunchen's voice suddenly became louder.
Qing Ning was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, the sun is very poisonous outside. I'm afraid Concubine Jin's body can't bear it. Please show mercy to your Majesty."
"What kind of favor is this? It's not me who asked her to kneel down. Her brother did something wrong outside, and I haven't punished her yet. She is so good that she dares to threaten me."
Qing Ning knew that the Ouyang family's upbringing had always been very strict, especially for the boys. Because two generations of the family were generals, the boys were almost all raised according to the rules of military law. She really couldn't think of Ouyang Chuanhua's brother.
What can she do that requires her to beg for mercy at all costs?
