The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Luo Qianmo's expression softened because he really liked Fang Qingyou's attitude towards him earlier.

However, he did not decide to let Yi Lingyun go, and the friends he mentioned did not include Yi Lingyun, because he felt extremely uncomfortable seeing him standing next to Fang Qingyou.

Luo Qianmo knew Yi Lingyun's identity, but still found his presence very annoying.

Fang Qingyou misunderstood Luo Qianmo's words, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly smiled and said to the group of palace guards, "Brother guards, you see, I already said it..."

Before Fang Qingyou could finish speaking, a middle-aged man's voice, filled with urgency, suddenly rang in her ears: "Mo'er, how are you?"

Following the sound, Fang Qingyou saw a bright yellow figure hurrying towards them, followed by a large group of people.

Before she could even see the man's face, she saw a crowd of people around her kneel down, their expressions respectful: "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

Realizing who it was, Fang Qingyou had no choice but to kneel and bow: "This commoner greets Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

As she bent down, Fang Qingyou caught a glimpse of Yi Lingyun, Xuan Zhu, and Xuan Qing kneeling down as well. However, Luo Qianmo didn't even glance at Emperor Mingde before turning and leaving.

All that was left for everyone was a flamboyant and arrogant black silhouette.

Fang Qingyou couldn't help but think to herself, "It seems that Luo Qianmo, this eighth prince, is really arrogant. He doesn't even put his emperor father in his eyes."

However, there was no anger in Emperor Mingde's eyes, only worry and sadness.

She seemed worried about Luo Qianmo, and also saddened by his aloofness.

Noticing Emperor Mingde's expression, a strange light flashed in Fang Qingyou's eyes. She had long heard that Emperor Mingde doted on his son Luo Qianmo, and now that she had witnessed this scene with her own eyes, she couldn't help but want to correct this rumor.

This is more than just pampering; it's downright spoiling.

Ke Luo Qianmo treated Emperor Mingde with the same indifference as if he were an enemy.

As for the deeper reasons, Fang Qingyou did not want to analyze them. The relationship between the Tian family father and son was never that of an ordinary father and son.

Emperor Mingde kept staring at the dark figure until it completely disappeared from sight before slowly turning his gaze away.

"What just happened? Where is the assassin who tried to kill the Eighth Prince?"

Unlike his gentle tone when he asked Luo Qianmo before, Emperor Mingde's voice sounded cold at this moment, a majesty unique to an emperor.

"Your Majesty, he is the assassin who tried to kill the Eighth Prince," a head of the palace guards replied immediately, referring to Yi Lingyun.

Upon seeing this, Fang Qingyou immediately frowned and explained, "Brother guard, I think you've misunderstood. Didn't the Eighth Prince just say that we are friends with him, not assassins?"

In her haste, Fang Qingyou completely forgot about the imperial power of ancient emperors.

Yi Lingyun was about to speak, but seeing Fang Qingyou shaking her head at him with a pleading look in her eyes, he couldn't bear it and swallowed his words.

The head of the guards glanced at Fang Qingyou, neither refuting nor acknowledging her words, but simply kneeling respectfully, awaiting Emperor Mingde's judgment.

At this moment, Emperor Mingde noticed Fang Qingyou's presence, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes when he saw her.

However, Emperor Mingde did not say anything, but just looked at her quietly.

Fang Qingyou didn't bother to look at Emperor Mingde, and turned her gaze to Xuan Zhu, saying, "Lord Zhu, you are highly valued by the Eighth Prince and know a lot about his affairs. Please talk to these guards and see if we are friends with the Eighth Prince."

Fang Qingyou had hoped that Xuan Zhu could prove their innocence, but Xuan Zhu remained silent.

Until Emperor Mingde turned his gaze to Xuanzhu: "Xuanzhu, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty..."

At this point, Xuanzhu told Emperor Mingde what had just happened. Although his description of the process was true, his wording was extremely inappropriate.

After he told the story, it sounded like Yi Lingyun was challenging Luo Qianmo's authority.

Moreover, Xuanzhu only acknowledges Fang Qingyou as Luo Qianmo's friend, but not Yi Lingyun.

Fang Qingyou gritted her teeth in anger. Like master, like servant. If she had known that Xuan Zhu was so incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, she would not have questioned him.

It's infuriating that I played word games with her.

Xuan Zhu could feel Fang Qingyou's annoyed gaze, but he still wouldn't change his mind, after all, he was his prince's subordinate.

"So you are Fang Qingyou?" Emperor Mingde's expression was unreadable.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed I, a commoner." At this moment, Fang Qingyou had calmed down. Emperor Mingde was the true master of the palace. If she wanted Yi Lingyun to be safe, she would rather rely on Emperor Mingde than on Luo Qianmo.

"You and the Eighth Prince are friends?"

"I am honored by the Eighth Prince's kindness in being willing to befriend me." Fang Qingyou was unwilling to consider Luo Qianmo a friend, but now she could only rely on him to escape.

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou pointed to Yi Lingyun beside her and said, "Your Majesty, he is my friend. He came to the palace with me. There was some misunderstanding between him and the Eighth Prince before, but it has been cleared up just now."

"Oh?" Emperor Mingde couldn't help but take another look at Fang Qingyou. Over the years, he had summoned many women, but Fang Qingyou was the only one who had a man accompany her into the palace.

Such a bold woman caught Emperor Mingde's eye, but he also disliked her somewhat.

Emperor Mingde noticed that Fang Qingyou was very thin and had yellow skin, so at first glance she wouldn't give people a feeling of "beauty". However, her features were very delicate, and she was obviously a beauty with great potential.

His eyes were especially bright, clear and lively like spring water, making him look like a spirit from a mountain stream.

Emperor Mingde knew Fang Qingyou far better than she had imagined. Looking at Fang Qingyou's innocent face and then at Yi Lingyun's calm gaze, he probably understood the real truth.

This is why Emperor Mingde is even more confused. Fang Qingyou is indeed exceptional, and she is also Xiaoyaozi's disciple. Is that why Luo Qianmo treats her so differently?

Yes, Emperor Mingde was well aware of what had happened between Fang Qingyou and Luo Qianmo. While there was indeed a reason for his summoning her to the palace to meet the emperor—She Ruifeng—it was more because of his son, Luo Qianmo.

Several years ago, he began to look for a suitable wife for Luo Qianmo, but he disdained those women.

After that, his marriage was delayed again and again, and he still doesn't have a woman by his side.

Emperor Mingde looked at Fang Qingyou and was fairly satisfied with her impression. He thought to himself that although her status was low, if Mo'er liked her, it would be good to marry her as a concubine. In the future, when Mo'er inherited the throne, she could at least get a concubine rank.

So, it's not like she's been wronged.
