Chapter 745: Chapter 745: Playing Nan Feng_1

Later in the Siyuan.

Old Xing child was studying that tree seedling intently.

He had been analyzing it for quite some time, even resorting to many books for reference.

Lady Nan Feng thought that if old Xing child lived in the modern era, he would be a botanist.

"So, have you determined what plant this seedling is?" When the person from Ning Liangpin’s side passed it, they casually mentioned a name, but Nan Feng knew immediately it wasn’t its real name.

Old Xing child shook his head: "I can’t figure it out, but judging from the roots and the shape of the leaves, it appears to be a tree that neither blooms nor bears fruit. I can plant it, but I can’t make it bloom or bear fruit."

"It can’t bear fruit or bloom?" Lady Nan Feng mused. "Then forget it, we won’t plant it. I’ll have it returned."

Old Xing child quickly grabbed Lady Nan Feng: "If you return it like this, you might be punished by the Consort."

"But if we plant it and it doesn’t bloom or bear fruit, wouldn’t we still be punished?" said Lady Nan Feng. "I don’t like complications in my dealings. I will return it to them now."

Having said this, Lady Nan Feng sent a eunuch to return the seedling to Consort Jiang.

Consort Jiang had been waiting for Lady Nan Feng to return the seedling.

As soon as it was returned, Consort Jiang summoned Lady Nan Feng, accusing her of being irresponsible and condemning her to thirty lashes.

Consort Jiang had prepared in advance. She was aligned with the Dowager Empress, and the chamber was full of people. Additionally, with those from Ning Liangpin’s side, they thought it would be overkill against just Lady Nan Feng.

That day, both the people from Consort Jiang’s and Ning Liangpin’s sides arrived, charging towards Siyuan to apprehend Lady Nan Feng.

Seeing all these people coming, Lady Nan Feng knew it wouldn’t be a positive encounter. She didn’t feel like arguing and quickly calculated in her heart. She might not lose in a fight against these people, but she was not in the mood for a showdown.

Lady Nan Feng knew the only person who could quieten the women in the imperial harem was the Emperor. Immediately she made towards his chamber, and to her surprise, she indeed found the Emperor.

...

Lady Nan Feng knelt in front of the Emperor without a second thought.

"Your Majesty, save me!" Lady Nan Feng glanced at the Emperor, then at the palace maids and eunuchs closing in behind her.

The Emperor quietly observed Lady Nan Feng. He had just finished his morning court assembly when abruptly someone knelt before him. What surprised him more was that the person kneeling before him was Lady Nan Feng.

This woman was usually stubborn and prideful, never easily asking for help.

But the Emperor’s eyes quickly found the people chasing her, realizing immediately.

No wonder Lady Nan Feng was kneeling, the look in her eyes was one of unwillingness.

She was holding an unidentified plant in her hand.

The Emperor had no knowledge about plants, but he guessed that Lady Nan Feng being pursued was surely because of this plant.

The palace maids and eunuchs chasing them stopped seeing the Emperor in front of them, they all kneeled before the Emperor, behind Lady Nan Feng, shouting in unison, "Long live the Emperor!"

At this time, Consort Jiang and Consort Ning also caught up. They probably did not expect the Emperor to be here and came over to give their salutations, "Your Majesty, your consort greets you!"

In front of him suddenly kneeled a dozen or so people.

The Emperor frowned.

His morning court session had already left him headaches, and now the harem added onto his stress, how could he not be irked?

"What is going on?" The Emperor asked, his eyes fixed on Lady Nan Feng.

However, Consort Ning answered from behind: "Your Majesty, Consort Ji has recently been having a poor appetite, so she brought a fruit tree seedling from her mother’s family, intending for it to be planted here in Siyuan. But Lady Nan Feng... she refused the order. Before Consort Ji could even say anything, she started creating a commotion."

Consort Ning appeared with a pitiful look.
