After all, this was Pale Emperor City, and the Murong family was the number one family in Southern Glory Empire; it was better to avoid murder.
Hearing this, Murong Qingqing was so angry that she covered her face and ran off to leave in her carriage right away.
The passers-by guessed that she was probably going home to complain.
After the two geniuses Murong Lanyi and Nan Ningxin were no more, Murong Qingqing of the Murong family had shown up, and her strength was indeed extraordinary.
Lu Fenying stood there without saying anything, but the chill radiating from his body made it impossible for anyone to get close.
Anybody could see that he was angry, but nobody knew why.
Red Wolf hurriedly took out a dagger and cut off the sleeve which Murong Qingqing had touched. He said expressionlessly, “Your Highness, I’ve cut it off. It’s not dirty anymore.”
Only then did Lu Fenying step forward and leave.
But he came back in an instant and asked the shopkeeper, “What’s the name of this umbrella, and how do you use it?”
“This… this umbrella is called the Nine Firmaments Galaxy.”
He then told him how to use it, and Lu Fenying left with the umbrella.
He said, “Follow me to Prince Zi’s residence.”
The shopkeeper patted his chest in fear. “What do I do, I’ve offended the Murong family.”
The bystanders laughed. “What are you scared of? Take the thirty thousand gold and run.”
People who watched the show never worried about making matters bigger; furthermore, the shopkeeper had gotten thirty thousand gold, which was something to be envious about.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper knew they were right. He had to hurry to Prince Zi’s residence with the deed. With Prince Zi’s protection, he wouldn’t need to be scared of the Murong family.
Feng Qingtian was with the empress dowager in the palace. The empress dowager asked him about Gu Bailu’s condition and gave him many precious herbs. She sighed. “You finally have someone who can help you start a family. Some things that are meant to be yours will be yours. Don’t be hasty.”
She knew that Prince Zi couldn’t wait to take the throne.
Who knew what poison the emperor had taken, but he wasn’t willing to hand it over now.
Feng Qingtian nodded. The empress dowager had always treated him well, and he didn’t want to clash with her.
“The reason I want the throne is to protect Lulu. It would be great if grandmother could persuade His Majesty.”
The empress dowager was about to say something, when the eunuch said, “Your Highness, the madam of the Murong family urgently requests an audience.”
When the empress dowager was young, she and Lady Murong had been known as the Twin Phoenixes of Pale Emperor City, and had been close since childhood. When the empress dowager heard that Lady Murong was requesting to see her, she knew that she had to have something urgent to tell her, and hurriedly invited her in.
Lady Murong led Murong Qingqing into the hall. Seeing Feng Qingtian, she snorted coldly before she bowed.
As soon as the empress dowager had her sit down, she said, “Your Highness, the people of the Murong family have been bullied by the guest of Prince Zi’s residence. If you won’t handle this matter, I’ll settle the score myself.”
Feng Qingtian raised his eyebrows. How had his residence been pulled into this?
“Don’t be impulsive, tell me what happened.” The empress dowager was as close to her as a sister, and she didn’t mind her rudeness.
Lady Murong narrowed her eyes at Feng Qingtian.
Feng Qingtian was confused.
However, she was much older than him, and he had always regarded her as an elder because of the empress dowager, so he could only suffer in silence.
“Qingqing, tell the empress dowager what happened and let her decide for you.” Lady Murong pulled Murong Qingqing out from behind her.
Murong Qingqing had cried wretchedly when she got home, and her eyes were still red.
