Even court officials had been killed; how would the maids dare say anything?
In the royal study, many noble families and ministers were still in an audience with the emperor. “Your Majesty, no matter what, favoring a female slave cannot happen. It will ruin the noble bloodline and make a joke of the country.”
“That’s right, Your Majesty. If the crown prince takes the lead in this, the relationship between nobles and servants will be messed up. We can’t…”
Before he could finish, the official saw Lu Fenying standing in front of him with a woman in his arms. He stepped back in fear. “Your… Your Highness…”
Lu Fenying glanced at him and sat down in a gold chair. He put Qian’er on his lap and her face was turned away from the eyes of the others.
“Continue,” Lu Fenying said as he fixed Qian’er’s cloak and wrapped it around her.
“Your Highness, I’m not opposed to anything, but you mustn’t spoil this slave.” Though frightened, the official still tried to persuade him.
This concerned the interests of the noble families and those who were above him. He had to object.
If a female slave could become a woman that her master liked, would she still be a slave?
Then what would become of her master?!
So, they had to oppose this until the end.
Lu Fenying glanced at the master of the Su family. “What do you think I should do?”
The master of the Su family was flattered and hurried to kneel. “Your Highness, no matter how good she is, she’s a slave…”
She couldn’t mess up the system.
Lu Fenying kicked him away. “So, you want me to trade Mo Qian’er for that city?”
“That’s not what I meant…” The master of the Su family knew that it was Mo Qian’er’s blood that was supporting Su Muwei’s condition. If Mo Qian’er was traded away, his daughter would never recover.
His daughter was worth not one city, but an entire nation.
“Other people don’t know about Mo Qian’er, but what about you?” Lu Fenying hugged Mo Qian’er tightly. “Tell them why you don’t want me to trade Mo Qian’er for a city.”
The master of the Su family felt his head hurt.
He knew he shouldn’t have said anything; the crown prince was now shifting the responsibility to him.
But he really couldn’t bear this responsibility. Things would become even more troublesome if other people learned of Mo Qian’er’s true use.
“I… I’m not qualified to tell the crown prince what to do,” the master of the Su family steeled himself and said.
“Who was the one who said just now that no matter how good she is, she’s a slave?”
And now he was saying that he wasn’t qualified to tell the crown prince what to do?
The nobles and officials of the royal family, who were born with silver spoons, immediately objected to anything that would damage their interests.
Back then, he wouldn’t have been sent to be raised among the wolves if it wasn’t for these wretched creatures.
At that thought, Lu Fenying raised his head and looked at the emperor, who was already 60 years old but still looked very young.
Lu Fenying didn’t look much like him. He was charming and had electrifying eyes.
Even though the emperor’s looks weren’t bad, he was nothing like Lu Fenying.
