Chapter 2 Luo Xi 2
Inside the palace.
Emperor Lu sat at the head of the table, looking calmly at Luo Zhi below. "Have you made your choice?"
The reason he brought her to the palace was because he saw the resentment in her eyes, and the ruthlessness—no, to be precise, the murderous intent—against Prince Chen. Yes, murderous intent. When she was dancing, she glanced at Prince Chen, just a brief glance, but he still saw the murderous intent in her eyes.
As for Li Yanran, he wasn't truly interested in her. He knew Prince Chen liked her, so he deliberately asked Prince Chen for her. He also knew that, given Prince Chen's arrogant nature, he most likely wouldn't give it to him.
Sure enough, he didn't give it to him.
However, Prince Chen did put on a show of politeness. Now, he's been given a fake one, and it looks almost exactly like Li Yanran.
Unbeknownst to Emperor Lu, that look in his eyes was something Luo Zhi had deliberately shown him. Because she was clever, she knew the Emperor didn't truly fancy Li Yanran... much less her.
She knew that Prince Chen also knew that the Emperor wasn't truly interested in Li Yanran, but rather that the Emperor knew Prince Chen liked Li Yanran, so the Emperor was deliberately asking Prince Chen for Li Yanran...
So, in short, she was just cannon fodder.
As for Li Yanran, she suspected that Li Yanran had deliberately bumped into the Emperor that day. After all, what are the chances of such a coincidence?
Luo Zhi and the Emperor share the same goal: to kill Prince Chen.
If Prince Chen could threaten her once, he could threaten her again. Daring to use her sister to threaten her was simply courting death.
Li Yanran also has to die.
Luo Zhi knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this servant chooses to pledge allegiance to you."
"Alright, now if Prince Chen asks you to deliver a message, do you know what to do?"
"This servant understands."
Emperor Lu nodded in satisfaction. "Don't worry, I will have people protect your sister."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Finally, Emperor Lu bestowed upon Luo Zhi the title of Consort Luo and granted her residence in the Glazed Pavilion.
Prince Chen's Mansion.
study.
"What did you say? You're letting Zhi'er's sister live in the manor? No way, I won't agree."
She had met Luo Xi a few days ago when Luo Xi came to the back gate of the Prince Chen's mansion to see her sister. She happened to be passing by and saw her.
"Why can't we find her a courtyard to live in outside? Wouldn't it be enough to just send someone to watch over her? I don't understand, why is it necessary for her to live in the mansion?"
She knew exactly how beautiful Luo Xi was; she was even more beautiful than herself and Luo Zhi.
Looking at Li Yanran, who was unusually angry, Lu Nanchen paused for a moment before saying, "Yanran, you're not mine yet. What right do you have to disagree?"
Li Yanran: !!!
Her eyes reddened, and she said aggrievedly, "Your Highness, how...how can you talk to me like that? You're not nice to me at all."
Lu Nanchen: "Not good? Yanran, I'm not stupid. You deliberately bumped into the Emperor that day, didn't you? You know I like you and wouldn't let you enter the palace. You just want Luo Zhi to leave, right? Now that I've let her go, and I'm going along with you like this, aren't I being good to you?"
Li Yanran: !!!
He knew; he had known all along.
It's good that Luo Zhi has entered the palace.
But now he's brought in another one, how can she possibly recover?
"I don't care, I just don't want her to come into the manor."
Lu Nanchen assured him, "I won't fall in love with her, don't worry."
Li Yanran: ...........
Rest assured? She will never be at ease.
She couldn't help but worry when she thought of Luo Xi's stunningly beautiful face.
Men are all attracted to beauty. If she weren't beautiful, would he still like her? No.
She didn't believe he wouldn't be tempted if he saw someone more beautiful than her.
"If Your Highness agrees to not let her live in the manor, then I will marry you and stop making trouble."
Just then, Luo Xi arrived.
Just then, a man walked in and said, "Your Highness, Miss Luo has arrived."
Li Yanran: !!!
She shouted sharply, "Let her go."
Lu Nanchen had never met Luo Zhi's sister; after all, a maid's sister wasn't worth meeting.
However, seeing Li Yanran like this, he suddenly became a little curious about Luo Xi.
So he ignored Li Yanran's gaze and let the person in directly.
The moment he saw Luo Xi, his breath caught in his throat, and his mind went completely blank.
No wonder? No wonder Yanran was so nervous and scared.
So, she's incredibly beautiful...
