Chapter 864: Chapter 864: I Love Hearing You Scold Me

Nan Feng couldn’t help but look at Tuoba Lie with disdain. "You were thirty in your last life, weren’t you? The Emperor and Empress are only in their forties, just over a decade older than you. How can you have the nerve to call others old?"

"But I’m indeed only in my twenties now. The heavens must have thought my previous life was too miserable, so they let me live a few more years of happiness. Just think about it, I used to do nothing but fight and get beaten up, tsk tsk, truly pitiable," Tuoba Lie said, even managing to look extremely sorrowful as he spoke.

"Pitiable? You?" Nan Feng, who was an undercover cop in her previous life, was full of contempt for him. "If I were the heavens, I would have struck you down with a bolt of lightning."

"Nan Feng, do you really find me so detestable? Aside from killing and arson, I’m not entirely evil."

"Yeah, the only thing left is for you to destroy the universe," Nan Feng replied sarcastically, only to find that, no sooner had she finished her sentence, that Mr. Fu was grinning once more.

"You’re quite talkative today, and while it’s all curses at me, I don’t mind, I enjoy it."

Nan Feng clenched her teeth and only after a good while managed to squeeze two words through her clenched jaw: "Sicko!"

...

The Imperial Palace here in Dashun was particularly breathtaking, resembling a European Castle, all in pure white, and with heavy guards outside, it even addded a few touches of majesty.

Tuoba Lie had said that tonight the Emperor and Empress were inviting her for dinner, so she naively thought that it would be just the Emperor and Empress, or at most a few of Tuoba Lie’s brothers and sisters, without anyone else. But she hadn’t expected that upon entering, she would find a room full of people.

It was like the long tables in costume dramas, where two people sat at each one. Nan Feng roughly counted and felt there were at least thirty-odd people. How many relatives had come?

Although it wasn’t expressly forbidden in Dashun for a man to have several wives, the Emperor here didn’t have "three thousand beauties in his harem," so many of those seated were likely ministers.

Nan Feng was somewhat taken aback, but Tuoba Lie by her side grabbed her hand and led her inside, first introducing Nan Feng to his parents, saying, "This is Nan Feng, the lady I’ve mentioned to you, the only one I’ve ever liked."

Nan Feng looked at Tuoba Lie, who was almost shamelessly brazen. He really had a thick skin.

She felt an urge to give him a thrashing.

If this went on, her image of aloof coolness would crumble. She genuinely worried that she might suddenly lose her patience and start fighting or arguing with him one day.

"Nan Feng pays her respects to Your Majesty and the Empress," Nan Feng performed a customary Dashun greeting, then added, "The Second Prince enjoys joking. Your Majesty and the Empress should not believe him; he has liked so many ladies that Nan Feng can’t even begin to count them all."

"Father, Mother, Lady Nan Feng actually likes to joke more. When she first met me, she said she greatly admired my decisiveness and even vowed to follow me to the death. Now she’s going back on her word, probably because she’s shy."

"..." That was from her past life, okay? How else was she supposed to have spoken then?

Emperor Shun looked at Nan Feng, "Oh, has Lady Nan Feng really said such things?"

Nan Feng was decidedly firm, "The Second Prince must have heard wrong."

Emperor Shun looked somewhat awkwardly at Tuoba Lie, "Lielie, the crime of deceiving the sovereign is a grave offense."

Tuoba Lie looked at Nan Feng with a smile, "Did you hear that? The crime of deceiving the sovereign is grave. Won’t you admit it?"
