Chapter 47 - framing

If Emperor Ming was heartless to her, she would be guilty of offending Sacred Yan, but she only had one chance today, she definitely could not miss it.

As everyone was watching Mo Clan's young miss perform, this sudden turn of events caught their attention.

Emperor Ming frowned, seeing that the lady on the ground did not have any awkward look, but instead had a graceful posture, raising her head and biting the corner of her lips, fearfully looking at him and Jade Flower Princess, her eyes filled with tears, afraid that if he said something heavy, the tears would flow down her face.

Emperor Ming's eyes could not help but stare coldly at Rong Yu, who was standing next to Qin Luofeng.

Rong Yu never thought that Qin Luofei would frame her in such a way. She had even forgotten how she framed others.

She saw Emperor Ming's eyes looking at her and thought she was beautiful. Seeing Emperor Ming's eyes becoming softer, she immediately lifted her dress and knelt in front of Emperor Ming, then hurriedly said: "This humble woman has no intentions."

As Rong Yu stepped forward, Emperor Ming's body couldn't help but lean backwards, "Who are you to be my daughter?"

Before Rong Yu could reply, Qin Luofei faintly said, "She is this humble woman's aunt, I hope that Your Majesty does not blame her. She did not do it on purpose."

But after she said that, Qin Luofei's eyes timidly looked towards Rong Yu. Everyone could see that she was extremely afraid of this aunt of hers.

Emperor Ming's nose twitched, and his eyes became gloomy and terrifying.

"Why aren't you leaving?" As Jade Flower Princess's noble aunt, how could she not know the smell of the Pear Blossom that Emperor Ming hated the most? She felt uncomfortable the moment she smelled it, but the smell of the Pear Blossom wafted from Rong Yu's body.

How could he be willing to withdraw so easily and reveal the smile he thought was the most beautiful? His charming eyes glanced at the Emperor Ming and he said, "Your Majesty, this humble woman only touched her once before she fell down. It is obvious that she framed this humble woman.

Emperor Ming's expression could not help but become a little uglier.

"Aunty." Qin Luofei's gaze then turned timid as she looked at the Emperor Ming, saying in a slow voice, "Your Majesty, don't blame your aunt. This humble woman accidentally tripped herself."

Hearing Qin Luofei's words, a trace of a pleased expression emerged on Rong Yu's face, but the smile still had not faded.

Emperor Ming frowned, his gaze turned to Rong Yu as he waved at the little eunuch beside him.

How could Xiao Linzi not understand what the Emperor Ming was thinking? He said sternly: "Drag this bastard that disturbed your emperor's carriage out and beat him to death."

Just as Old Lady Qin wanted to speak out, he was stopped by a glare from him.

Jade Flower Princess was really disappointed with Rong Yu today. Even if they were able to enter the palace with such a clumsy item, they would not be a match for the empress.

It was a waste of self-control for such a foolish person to attempt to frame someone else. He had even wasted his efforts to protect her.

"Your majesty." Qin Luofei watched as Rong Yu was pulled out by the two imperial guards.

Rong Yu still had to admit that she was wronged, but her clothes stopped her from speaking any further.

Her clothes were thin to begin with. After being lifted by someone, her tender red undergarment was exposed, but now that her life was gone, how could she care about her chastity?

Emperor Ming stood up, walked to Qin Luofei's side in large strides, and supported her up with both hands.

Qin Luofei took this opportunity and half nestled into Emperor Ming's embrace, tears streaming down her face. She said with a fearful expression, "Your Majesty."

"Don't be afraid, although she is your aunt, she is not your biological aunt. We will not blame your Qin family."

Indeed, the emperor had capable people by his side. With such kung fu, he had actually managed to get a clear understanding of the situation.

"Thank you, your majesty." Qin Luofei lightly wiped away her tears as she broke her nose and laughed.

Her tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, but her face was smiling like a blooming petal.

The corner of Emperor Ming's lips curled up as he said, "A child's character."

Emperor Ming let go of Qin Luofei's arm and walked out.

"Your Majesty, take the car back to the palace." Xiao Linzi sang.

"Respectfully sending off your majesty." Everyone quickly knelt down to send him off.

"You fox spirit, shameless."

"That's right, seducing the Seventh Prince. Now, even His Majesty dares to spy on us."

"Look at her face. She even dared to cling onto His Majesty. What a foxy girl."

Now that she had offended Old Madam Qin, she had also offended the Aunt Rong, and she had also offended the noble young ladies of the Great Yan State.

But now, she still couldn't figure out what that person was thinking.

She was obviously interested in him, but she didn't say anything.

"Little sister, today is really a good time." Qin Luoyu's expression was filled with hatred. She had been implicated by his younger sister and everyone was looking at her as if he was a fox spirit.

"Many thanks to elder sister for instantly praising me. I wouldn't dare to accept it." Qin Luofei raised her head and walked outside.

Just as he walked to the exit of the corridor, he saw the servant girl from Jade Flower Princess waiting there.

"Fourth Miss, the Princess wants to see you." The servant was very polite.

A hint of happiness appeared in Qin Luofei's eyes, but she secretly suppressed it.

Now was not the time to be happy.

Qin Luofei followed the maid to the backyard where the princess and the Old Lady Qin were having tea together in a pavilion.

Old Lady Qin's eyes were rimmed red. It seemed like she had some sincerity towards his niece.

That was true, the Rong family had lost a man and a woman, Old Lady Qin would probably not be able to explain it to them.

"Luo Fei, come over here and do it."

The Jade Flower Princess smiled, filled with passion.

"Thank you, Princess."

Qin Luofei did not refuse, and went to the side of the princess.

Jade Flower Princess took a light sip of tea and said: "I didn't expect Fourth Young Miss to use such a good method, this princess actually didn't notice it in the past."

"This humble one borrowed the princess' treasure, so she is blessed. This humble one will never forget the princess' kindness. In the future, the princess will be able to use the place Luo Fei used, so feel free to speak." Qin Luofei pursed her lips and smiled. He looked like a child without any tricks.

But Jade Flower Princess would no longer underestimate the woman in front of him. But Qin Luofei's words made the princess enjoy it very much, and could be taught a lesson.

"Bring some tea for Fourth Miss." Appreciation could be seen in the princess' eyes as she ordered the maidservants behind her with a smile.

Qin Luofei received it with both hands and took a small sip.

Jade Flower Princess looked at Old Lady Qin and said amiably: "Congratulations Old Granny. With such an outstanding and intelligent granddaughter, and a beauty like the Qin family and Second Miss, the Qin family will definitely be rich in the future."

Old Lady Qin was still grieving for his niece and nephew.

Even though her family was more important, could it be that the children of the Qin family weren't her children?

"The princess is right."

Old Lady Qin could not muster up any energy to be happy.

"I won't keep Old Granny and Fourth Miss Qin. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me at the princess' mansion." The Princess raised her teacup.

"Then Luo Fei will go back with Grandmother. Thank you Princess for the tea."

This princess was indeed not an ordinary person. She must have guessed what Emperor Ming was thinking, but she didn't know how to win her over. She just knew that Emperor Ming was the most suspicious person, and it was hard to prevent someone with good intentions from passing their message to Emperor Ming.

Old Lady Qin was not a muddle-headed person. He knew that the situation had escalated to this point and told her what Emperor Ming was thinking. He said that it was very likely that the Emperor Ming would personally recruit the Fourth Miss Qin into the palace.

Although Old Lady Qin felt that this matter was not very likely, but looking at Jade Flower Princess's expression, it did not seem like she was joking.

Qin Luofei returned to her own yard and told Autumn Rain to close the door, to prevent strangers from sneaking in, and to be more careful with her meals in the future.

Qin Luoyu had already secretly come back to tell Mrs. Meng about what had happened in their residence, and Mrs. Meng was slightly shocked.

Although she was happy to be rid of the thorn in her heart, she was still somewhat surprised by Qin Luofei's methods.

Since when did that girl have such thoughts? She was delusional enough to want to depend on the Emperor.

The Emperor was someone she could spy on.

Qin Luoyu said hatefully from the side, "I've already said that she was ambitious. As expected, she dared to look so blatantly at His Majesty, and even attracted His Majesty's attention."

"This girl who doesn't know life and death will definitely not show mercy to her mother again. I will definitely make sure that she will never have another chance to get involved again." Mrs. Meng called over the mama beside him and told her in detail that she had to get rid of the roots this time.

After Qin Luofei finished washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she laid down on the bed and discovered that her entire body was sore and soft.

Taking the risk of being beaten up and betting that he would be interested in her, she had taken the risk of being beheaded.

Fortunately, the heavens didn't disappoint those who were considerate and finally had an idea when they entered the palace.

Qiu Yu saw that Qin Luofei seemed to be asleep with her eyes closed, so she carefully closed the door and walked out.

"Who?" Just as Qin Luofei was in a daze, she felt the sound of footsteps. When she opened her eyes, she saw a man dressed in black, and it was only with the aid of the moonlight that she realized it was the young master of the Mo family.

Mo Ling Jian stepped forward to pay his respects, his expression somewhat agitated.

"Reporting to Mistress, there was a man who went to the silks yesterday. He looks very similar to Eldest Young Master, except that he was wearing a mask and his face couldn't be seen clearly."

"What did you say?" Qin Luofei sat up from the bed, her eyes staring at Mo Ling Jian in disbelief.

Could it be that her brother was still alive?

"Did you find out where he lives?" Qin Luofei said impatiently.

Mo Ling Jian shook his head and said regretfully, "At that time, I was not at the silk-house. This is because there are very few men who normally visit the silks, and his dressing is a bit strange, so the servants noticed, but he did not take the keepsake, moreover … " Mo Ling Jian paused for a moment before continuing, "Moreover, the ugliness under his mask is not in particular compatible with Eldest Young Master."

"Extremely ugly?" The joy that Qin Luofei had just felt sank to the bottom once again. Her big brother's appearance could topple cities and topple nations, so that person definitely wasn't her big brother. But, who could that person be?

Qin Luofei thought to herself, If it was Big Brother, where would he go to the treasure trove?

"I know."

"Then your underlings will take their leave." Mo Ling Jian turned and jumped out the back window. Moments later, the sounds of fighting came from the backyard and the guards' voices could be heard. "Don't let the thieves escape."

Qin Luofei was slightly startled. She got up from the bed, put on her shoes and stood at the window to look outside. However, she didn't see anything.
