Chapter 008: The White Silk, Absolutely Not Seeking Death

Snap ... ...

Feng Qingchen did not make a sound, slowly raising her head. Her long hair obscured her face, concealing the sharpness and anger in her eyes.

Do not mention Feng Qingchen; even the eunuchs and palace maids standing nearby understand that the Empress intends for Feng Qingchen to die

"May I ask what matters the esteemed lady official has summoned Qingchen for?" Feng Qingchen, however, appeared to be oblivious to the inquiry, gracefully performing a bow.

Because of those eyes

Faced with the cold long spear, Feng Qingchen showed no signs of fear; instead, she ambiguously smiled and said: "So, Your Highness, the elegant gentleman, also strikes women."

Thank you, Lord Luo. " Feng Qingchen said unenthusiastically, while stepping back, her eyes calmly gazing at Donglingzi Luo.

It seems that marrying Feng Qingchen is also a good choice

As he looked at Feng Qingchen, the agitation in his heart grew even stronger

Twenty steps

Having finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave

But the matter has come to this point, leaving no room for regret.

"Feng Qingchen, get lost, do not let this king see you again." Having said that, he turned and walked towards the empress's palace

Feng Qingchen seemed to be oblivious, stepping barefoot on her own blood, her gaze fixed intently on the distant palace gate

Feng Qingchen certainly understands the twists and turns here, without a word of rebuttal, he said:

Before Feng Qingchen could finish the last two words, she was struck to the ground by Dongling Ziluo with a single slap.

Instead, when Feng Qingchen walked by, she stopped in her tracks, staring blankly at this woman who was in a state of utter disarray yet exuded an extreme sense of pride

Dong Lingzi Luo is in perfect condition, while she, Feng Qingchen, is the one who is battered and bruised, and the one who needs to be guarded against

As she spoke, her slender fingers slowly brushed aside the long hair on her face, revealing a bloodied visage

Ah ... ...

No wonder she is so arrogant; looking at the object in her hand, it is a three-foot white silk!

Ten steps

It was this woman who suddenly turned around, causing her to make a mistake

frighteningly cold, chillingly cold

Dong Lingzi Luo cannot accept being defeated by a woman

He let out a heavy sigh, suppressing the inexplicable emotions within him.

Isn't it just half a year? He Donglingzi Luo endured it

However, regardless of all that, it is already a great blessing to be able to walk out of the palace alive

However, Feng Qingchen truly does not want to die

You, you you... The items in the jade tray were struck, and they looked at Feng Qingchen with a face full of terror

A vague sense of uncertainty lingers in my heart, accompanied by a strong feeling of regret that washes over me

Feng Qingchen walked while counting, the blood on her face dripping down, each drop falling at her feet, splattering into vibrant blossoms of blood, strikingly beautiful

They have just witnessed the conflict between Miss Feng and the Duke of Luo, and they have also seen how Miss Feng sustained her injuries.

Everyone present looked at Feng Qingchen with regret

Feng Qingchen, you are quite bold to dare to overturn the items bestowed by Her Majesty the Empress. Do you not know your crime

The left cheek is covered in blood, while the right cheek is swollen and raised, looking truly like a pig's head drenched in blood. It is as ugly as one can imagine.

After Dongling Ziluo left, Feng Qingchen slowly got up, looking at the guard who was watching her as if he were guarding against a wolf, a cold smile curling at the corners of her mouth

"Step aside." With an inexplicable authority, Donglingzi Luo waved his hand to dismiss the guards

Just go out!

With a furrowed brow, she had no intention of stopping, but upon seeing the guards on either side, fierce as wolves and tigers, Feng Qingchen relented, turning around without the slightest hesitation

Having seen many storms, Zhu Yu took a deep breath and quickly calmed down, pointing at Feng Qingchen and scolding her

"Very well, I promise you. Within six months, no one will trouble you because of this matter. As for the troubles you have caused yourself, I cannot interfere with that." His life is more precious than Feng Qingchen's.

Women are no less than men

If you do not humiliate me to death, then grant me the white silk directly. Are you not afraid of bearing the guilt of forcing a loyal subject's daughter to her demise

This is terrible, the Empress said, the poison in the wine will take effect in three days. If Feng Qingchen does not choose to end her life with the white silk, then she will also die by drinking the poison

As he spoke, a pair of sharp eyes swept over the palace maids and eunuchs who witnessed the scene, warning them that it would be best if they said nothing; otherwise...

Feng Qingchen, as long as I, Dongling Ziluo, am here, you shall not hope to establish yourself in the Dongling Dynasty

Tears of terror filled Zhu Yu's eyes; perhaps Feng Qingchen did not die, but Zhu Yu would die first.

The two remained in a stalemate, neither willing to concede to the other

Lord Luo, this is our first time being so close, and it will also be our last. To meet again, Lord Luo and Qing Chen are...

Feng Qingchen raised a hint of a mocking smile

Not far away, the guard saw the situation and immediately stepped forward, pointing his spear directly at Feng Qingchen. With just a command from Dongling Ziluo, Feng Qingchen would instantly meet a tragic end here

With a snap, as Feng Qingchen turned around, the tray in her jeweled hand fell to the ground, accompanied by a three-foot-long white silk and a cup of wine

Feng Qingchen was not in a hurry; she knew that in the end, she would certainly emerge victorious, for she was wagering her life.

Whoever retreats first will lose

The pearls and jade exclaimed in surprise, as if they were startled by Feng Qingchen's appearance.

However, when they saw someone like Feng Qingchen, not a single person dared to laugh at her or call her ugly

That is because Qingchen does not have such a fate. If the Lady Official has no other matters, Qingchen will take her leave first, as His Highness the Prince of Luo has permitted Qingchen to return home

If the Empress inquires about this matter, they will speak truthfully; however, if no one asks, they will not easily disclose it.

Ninety steps

The female official beside the Empress, Zhu Yu

Under the gaze of the crowd, Feng Qingchen turned around indifferently, the red gauze stained with blood clinging to her body. Standing on this white marble, she appeared so resplendent and striking that even the blooming red flowers on either side paled in comparison

Indeed, everyone averted their gaze, pretending not to have seen this matter

Enemy

A hundred steps

The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, upon seeing Feng Qingchen in this manner, inexplicably found that none dared to step forward to mock her

This slap was quite heavy. Feng Qingchen lay on the ground for a while before regaining her senses, then spat out a mouthful of blood, in which there was a broken tooth.

Someone secretly thought: Truly worthy of being a general's daughter, with this body full of injuries, an ordinary woman would find it difficult even to stand, let alone walk. Yet Feng Qingchen is able to walk with grace, maintaining the demeanor of a noble lady without losing an ounce of her poise.

It seems that you are not afraid, after all, I am seen as unclean in the eyes of the world, so I must die to express my resolve

Under the gaze of Dongling Ziluo, Feng Qingchen smiled charmingly as she extended her hand to smooth out the wrinkled collar of Dongling Ziluo's garment.

However, Feng Qingchen cannot afford to lose; when she loses, she loses her own life

She does not concern herself with how Dongling Ziluo thinks; first, she must overcome the immediate difficulties.

Indeed, Feng Qingchen was not kept waiting for too long. When Dongling Ziluo confirmed that Feng Qingchen would not back down, he gritted his teeth and compromised

As the wine spilled onto the ground, a hissing sound emerged, and white smoke began to rise

The Emperor's handling of Feng Qingchen has already been communicated to the Empress by the trusted eunuch. It is likely that the Empress will no longer intervene.

Being a lady-in-waiting beside the Empress, one possesses both means and influence. The people here are all trusted confidants of the Empress, and they should understand who it is that cannot be offended

In six months, he will demand the return of both the principal and the interest.

What should we do now

Just as Feng Qingchen was about to take her one hundred and first step, a proud and hoarse voice came from behind: "Feng Qingchen, stop."

Your Majesty, how much do you wish for my death?

In fact, the way they looked at each other was filled with hostility

"Wait a moment," Zhu Yu said sharply, her eyes filled with malice

Donglingzi Luo had never seen such a pair of eyes, as if they had witnessed everything in the world, like a dying beast staring at a more powerful enemy, ready to strike with all its might, prepared for a fight to the death.

Is this really the timid and incompetent Feng Qingchen, who can only lower her head and weep upon seeing him
