Chapter 209 – Foolish

“Your Majesty, you must punish this Wang Fei. I dare not complain. But, one wants to know whom one lost to.”

She knew she could not refute or influence his decision now. But she wanted to know who the maiden was. She was certain her current plight was only temporary, in a fit of rage Mo Rongzhan had done what he had; after all, a man’s ego is taller than the tallest mountain and this one was an emperor at that. So, she believed that when he was marginally appeased, she would regain his favor in the future. And when that day arrived, this girl would be shredded to pieces.

But who was Mo Rongzhan? Did she think he would not see through her ruse? He broke into a ruthless smile.

“Leave at once!”

The iota of hope and faith that Lu Wushuang had in Mo Rongzhan was suddenly shattered–she looked aghast at his brutality. The man who once doted on her unconditionally was shielding a lowly maiden while tossing her aside without so much as remorse.

Was it to protect her or for other reasons?

Eunuch Ford immediately summoned two little eunuchs to force Lu Wushuang out.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…” Lu Wushuang was reluctant to leave. She desperately wanted to know who the maiden was.

Why did Mo Rongzhan suddenly change his temperament? Did he not think of me as his savior? How could he forget so quickly?

Mo Rongzhan was unaffected by Lu Wushuang’s shrill cries for mercy even as she was unceremoniously dragged out of his chambers. She had undermined his authority and ran amuck, this time she had really touched his bottom line. Thus, he had steeled his heart, and somewhere, he was even glad about it.

After it had quieted down, he turned to look at the person who was still hiding under the quilt.

“You can come out,” he said.

There was a smile in his eyes;

this little girl who was akin to a little beast that refused to admit defeat before him was this afraid of Lu Wushuang.

Ye Zhen quickly got off the bed and cast Mo Rongzhan a light look. Without a preamble, she said, “Your Majesty, can this official’s daughter leave now?”

“So, you are afraid of Lu Wushuang?”
