Chapter 217: Taking the Opportunity
ificant, so no one paid too much attention.Qin Luoyan's eyes darkened, feigning ignorance of those words, not even frowning.The little servant, Mu He, sized up Qin Luo Yan silently. Seeing her unwaver...In the main hall, there was a half-human-tall copper furnace. The furnace was piled high with charcoal, warming the entire hall. Only in places like the inner court of the palace could they start heating up right at the beginning of winter, without considering the cost of charcoal.
Qin Luoyan followed Fu Zimo into the hall, and immediately felt a warm embrace. Her fair face was also flushed with warmth.
Seated at the head was Empress Wei Qingfeng, she was sipping a cup of hot tea, and when Fu Zimo walked in, she smiled and said, "Oh, what wind brought Duke Wu Xuan here"
Fu ZiMo saw the emperor didn't need to bow, let alone the empress. However, he could not bow, but that didn't mean Qin LuoYan could too. So she still very politely bowed to the empress.
In front of Fu Zimu, the Empress appeared gentle and enthusiastic, raising her hand gracefully, "Please stand up. From now on, we're all family. There's no need for so much formality."
Qin Luoyan stood up and retreated behind Fu Zimo. She saw Fu Zimo walk to a chair on the side by himself and sit down. He was indeed as the empress said, not so polite.
"Sun Momo, quickly serve tea to King Wu Xuan." The empress did not show any displeasure towards Fu Zi Mo's rudeness. She then said to him, "Come, King Wu Xuan, try this newly arrived Biluochun tea. This palace finds it quite fragrant."
"Oh Then this king would like to try it." Sun Momo had already poured hot tea and placed it on his right. Fu Zi Mo said so, but he picked up the teacup, however, he only took a sip, then frowned, abruptly raised the tea and splashed it onto Sun Momo's face.
This tea was just brewed, the water was still very hot, and when it splashed on Sun Momomo's face, she immediately covered her face and screamed. She cried out in pain and knelt on the ground, and between her fingers you could see that the skin on her face had already started to swell red.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
Including Qin Luo'yan, she stood behind Fu Zimu, naturally seeing Sun Momomo's situation more clearly. This bowl of hot tea was splashed over, and Sun Momomo's face was ruined completely.
For some reason, even though Sun Momo had slapped her before, seeing her now disfigured right in front of her, and in such a cruel way, she felt a twinge of sympathy. Although she knew that Fu Zimo was just venting for her, there was still a strange unease in her heart.
Do those in high positions not consider the hardships of ordinary people
Sun Momo believed her status was higher than Qin Luo Yan's, so she brazenly exploited her, even slapping her at will and thinking it was justified.
And Fu Zimu was the same. In his eyes, Sun Momo was nothing more than a disobedient maidservant. Such a maidservant, he, as the prince, punished her, and no one dared to say anything against him.
Could this be what they call a class society, the legendary cruel food chain Whoever stands at the top decides the life and death of those below them at will
This feeling, Qin Luoyan didn't like it, so she didn't show the slightest bit of joy. Instead, her beautiful brows were tightly knit together in displeasure.
The Empress regained her composure, her palm pressing hard on the armrest of her chair, her voice laced with suppressed anger, "Your Highness, what are you doing"
Fu Zi Mo let out a light snort, smashing the teacup in his hand onto Sun Momo's face. "Bold servant, to bring me such scalding tea water, is this how you intend to take my life"
To elevate a cup of tea water to the level of plotting against the prince, with just this one accusation, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Sun Momo deserved death.
The Empress was so angry that her expression twisted. But upon hearing this, Sun Momo completely forgot about the wound on her face and crawled to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly. "Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Highness, please forgive me! It's my fault for not serving properly, I beg Your Highness to show mercy and let me off this time."
Fu Zi Mo just gave her a cold glance, then turned his head and beckoned to Qin Luo Yan behind him. Qin Luo Yan was puzzled and could only walk over.
He suddenly raised his hand, gently stroking her cheek. "Someone dares to touch what belongs to this king You truly don't take this king seriously. Should this disobedient slave be forgiven"
Sun Momo and the Empress only reacted after seeing Fu ZiMo's actions. It turned out that Fu ZiMo's improvisation was just because Sun Momo slapped Qin LuoYan. His meaning was very clear, Qin LuoYan was his thing, moving his things meant paying the price.
At that moment, the Empress suddenly regretted her decision. How could she have forgotten Fu Zi Mo's vengeful nature If only she had known better, she shouldn't have agreed to help Xiao Chang Yue get rid of Qin Luo Yan for a little gain. Now, she had needlessly offended King Wu Xuan.
Upon thinking this, the Empress's face darkened. She slammed her hand on the table and shouted at Sun Momo, who was kneeling on the ground: "Bold servant! You dared to bump into His Royal Highness and don't even beg for death"
I die to atone for my sins!
This was to let Sun Momo use her death in exchange for Fu Zimo's anger. The Empress's words sentenced Sun Momo to death. Sun Momo was also an elderly woman who served by the Empress's side. Though not the most trusted by the Empress, she was still a useful tool. Sun Momo's status among other palace maids was also high, but because of this incident, she was sacrificed by the Empress.
Qin Luo Yan once again looked at Fu Zi Mo with admiration in her eyes. This empress's character was indeed admirable.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Please spare me! This old slave has served you for ten years. Your Majesty, please have mercy on this old slave." Sun Momo began to cry, sobbing and tears streaming down her face. She was completely devoid of the arrogance she had displayed when bullying Qin Luo'yan before.
People are like that, when they are in power they think they are something special, and when they lose power they think they are nothing.
"Guards! Take this insolent maid away and execute her!" The Empress would not even listen to Sun Momo's pleas for mercy, issuing the order directly.
As for Qin Luoyan, seeing Sun Momo, who was of similar age to her, end up in such a state, she felt a pang of sympathy. She sighed and stood behind Fu Zimuo, secretly tugging at his sleeve.
Fu Zi Mo frowned, giving her a meaningful glance, but she didn't back down. Instead, she shook her head firmly.
At that moment, Fu Zi Mo's eyes were filled with confusion, but he still turned to the Empress and said: "Enough, all this crying is giving me a headache. Forget it, I won't hold her recklessness against her this time. Today, I want to avoid bad luck, Your Majesty, just do me a favor and spare her life."
Upon hearing this, the Empress naturally agreed. Although no one dared to object to killing Sun Momo, it would still make her lose some hearts and minds, so she immediately agreed, "Since the Prince has spoken, this palace naturally has nothing to say. Well, get out of here quickly. Staying here will only hinder the Prince's view"
