Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Won’t You Explain Why You Hit Someone_1
A group of palace maids and eunuchs, bolstered by their numbers and instigated by Ning Liangpin, quickly converged on Nan Feng. But what they didn’t anticipate was that Nan Feng could handle herself. The palace maids and eunuchs, who had not received any training, were swiftly subdued by Nan Feng.
"So, it’s you, isn’t it Ning Liangpin? Weren’t you going to teach me a lesson? Well, let’s have it, whatever it is you have to say. I will naturally learn whatever needs to be learnt," Nan Feng addressed Ning Liangpin pointedly.
At this moment, Ning Liangpin was trembling with rage, feeling a mix of fear and hatred towards Nan Feng.
At this very moment, someone outside shouted, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Ning Liangpin’s heart leapt with joy. She seldom saw the Emperor in ordinary times, and it was an unexpected surprise that he came at this juncture.
This timing couldn’t be more perfect. She was being bullied, and now had the chance to play the victim and seek refuge in the Emperor’s arms.
Nan Feng also knew that the Emperor was coming. She thought to herself that the Emperor had three thousand beautiful concubines in the palace, and his presence here was not surprising. However, it was just after the morning court session and what if Ning Liangpin was his favored concubine?
Then, she would be offending the Emperor once again.
When the Emperor walked in, the situation in front of him was this: Ning Liangpin was kneeling on the ground, tears staining her face, looking pitiful. A few eunuchs and palace maids were struggling to get up from the floor, while only Nan Feng was standing.
Upon seeing the Emperor, Nan Feng also paid her respects, although she did not kneel.
"Your Majesty, your humble concubine greets you. Please, Your Majesty, you must stand up for me," Ning Liangpin said, her face still wet with tears– tears of joy rather than sorrow, so she looked as if she was crying, which was quite touching.
"Rise, what happened here?" The Emperor asked, his voice cold.
Back in Qin Kun’s days, the concubines who were related to Qin Kun would just fight among themselves, and in the end, they would drag him in to judge. He was thoroughly tired of these women’s antics.
That’s why he preferred the quiet and composed Concubine De.
Ning Liangpin pointed at Nan Feng, "Your Majesty, she... she came into my palace and attacked my people, my eunuchs and maids. I had no idea she was so ruthless!"
The Emperor turned his gaze to Nan Feng, eager to hear her side of the story.
Nan Feng did not try to dispute the accusations. She admitted promptly, "Yes, I hit them. If Your Majesty wishes to punish, punish me alone and spare the innocent."
The Emperor looked at Nan Feng and asked curiously, "Aren’t you going to explain why you hit them?"
"If Your Majesty would observe closely, you would have an idea. I am fond of laboring in the fields, yet I am not there but here, fighting. It is not in my nature to seek trouble without cause, nor vent my dissatisfaction with Your Majesty on your beloved concubines. It’s up to Your Majesty whom to trust," Nan Feng retorted with visible resentment.
Were it anyone else speaking that way to the Emperor, they might have been beheaded already.
Concubine De watched, feeling that Nan Feng was rather indignant and unwise for speaking so bluntly.
Ning Liangpin was even more pleased, already relishing in her upcoming victory. She could hardly wait for the Emperor to punish Nan Feng for her disrespect.
However, the Emperor merely responded nonchalantly, "I understand. You may leave first."
Everyone in the room was stunned.
How could the Emperor let Nan Feng off so easily?
Since the Emperor commanded Nan Feng to leave, she didn’t bother to say more. This issue wasn’t her fault to begin with, so she turned around and left.
