“Hehe,” Mo Qi Qi gets up and walks towards Chu Ling Xiao, gifting him a bright smile. “Since the emperor gives you such a big responsibility and trust, why don’t you use this authority to turn this big matter into small? If you do that, bengong will heavily thank you and the Mo Clan will remember your grace and will repay your help in the future.”
Chu Ling Xiao laughs elegantly, “Since the emperor trusts this official, how can this official disappoints him? This official will report everything to him as it is.”
“You—“ Anger surges inside Mo Qi Qi like waves of currents. She glares at Chu Ling Xiao with gritted teeth, “Prime Minister, don’t tell bengong you’d rather drink a cup of coercion than kindness? Don’t forget, you are still in bengong’spalace. A little word from bengong is enough to make you lose your life.”
Chu Ling Xiao maintains his calm smile, “The empress must not try to intimidate this official. This official too, comes from the imperial clan. Even though this official does not grow up in the palace, this official understands the tricks of the people in the harem. Threatening others is just their method of bullying people.”
“Oh really?” Mo Qi Qi raises her eyebrows as she looks at him in utter dislike, “But the method bengong is planning to use today is not that.” After she says that, Mo Qi Qi suddenly takes off her brocade belt.
Seeing that, Chu Ling Xiao immediately retreats two steps, “Your Ladyship! W-What are you doing?”
Mo Qi Qi laughs mockingly, “Bengong is letting the Prime Minister see bengong’s trick.” Then, she screams for the people outside, “Prime Minister, how dare you be so preposterous in front of bengong? Somebody come! The Prime Minister has lost conduct—-“
Hearing that, Chu Ling Xiao immediately steps forward and blocks Mo Qi Qi’s mouth, “Your Ladyship, you must not harm this official in that manner.“
Mo Qi Qi pushes his hand away, arrogantly raising her brows while threatening him, “What do you think of bengong’strick? If this incident spreads out, what will His Majesty do? Even if he trusts you, your reputation will be ruined. In order to save face, he will still kick you out of the capital and when that happens, your position and power will be gone. Tsk tsk tsk, it does you more harm than good ah!”
Chu Ling Xiao stares at Mo Qi Qi, stunned. He never thought he will be trapped inside the hand of this brainless empress. He used to make fun of her in front of the emperor in the past, now he feels like slapping his own mouth.
“What do you want this official to do, Your Ladyship? This official will listen to whatever it is.” In the end, Chu Ling Xiao can only compromise. If she continues screaming; it will be as she says it will. Regardless of whether the emperor trusts him, he will not continue to keep him by his side.
Mo Qi Qi laughs arrogantly, “That is the correct choice! Bengong’s request is very simple; tell His Majesty that Dong Feiwas disrespectful and bengong ordered her to be hit 20 times. The rest, you can keep to yourself.”
Chu Ling Xiao purposely pretends to be nervous, “Your Ladyship, that is basically deceiving the emperor!”
“If you and I don’t tell, His Majesty will not know that.” Mo Qi Qi is very happy, so her way of thinking is way simpler
as well.
