Chapter 206.1 - It’s an ugly person
Lou Qufeng heard this and grew silent.
He was only a literary official, he didn’t have any ideas.
Finally, Lou Qingwu’s ears had peace and quiet, she let out a sigh of relief.
But at this time, during this tense atmosphere, a voice suddenly broke through, “Royal uncle, just then, Yiren heard that the eldest miss Lou said she could open it!”
“En?” Hearing her name, Lou Qingwu’s eyes went cold.
Everyone suddenly turned around to face Lou Qingwu.
“Oh? Qingwu, you can?” The emperor’s originally dark eyes lit up.
Seeing that bright light, Lou Qingwu’s eyes grew cold.
Right now, if she said she couldn’t, then she’d be hitting the Countess of Chaoxia’s face.
With her personality, she’d just keep biting on her and not let go.
After all, the only person who heard her speak just then, was Lou Qufeng.
But what were the chances of Lou Qufeng testifying? As if he’d dare to offend imperial prince Zong.
Even though she was his daughter, he still wouldn’t stand on her side.
Quite evidently, the Countess of Chaoxia had hit the bullseye on that spot so that’s why she was so reckless and fearless, spitting nonsense for the sake of wanting to see her be humiliated.
Under everyone’s eyes, Lou Qingwu could only stand up, watching everyone’s expectant eyes and the vicious jealousy in the Countess of Chaoxia’s eyes.
She nodded her head and the emperor’s mouth quickly grew into a smile, letting out a sigh of relief.
Instead, it was the Countess of Chaoxia who froze, not thinking that she’d nod her head.
But soon afterwards, she sneered at Lou Qingwu, waiting to see her be humiliated.
Lou Qingwu took a look at her before her lips curled upwards, her eyes dark and cold.
The Countess of Chaoxia’s brows furrowed but she quickly glared at her instead.
It was the imperial prince Zong who grabbed her sleeve and tugged at her, his face disappointed and frustrated.
The Countess of Chaoxia then turned away, regaining her facade of a dignified and generous countess.
“Then, if Qingwu you said so, try as hard as you can. Don’t feel too pressured.” The emperor had always known this girl was very clever.
But no matter how clever she could be, she was just a girl in the end.
For a lock that even the strongest martial arts pract.i.tioner couldn’t break off, he suddenly felt a bit worried.
But he’d already told her to try so he could only continue and let her try.
“Yes, emperor.” Lou Qingwu’s eyes were lowered as she walked towards the centre of the hall.
She didn’t need to look up because she already felt everyone’s eyes on her.
Amongst them, one was burning hot and the other was freezing cold.
Lou Qingwu took a quick look and saw the first was Xiahou Qing and the second … Shu Yunyan.
Lou Qingwu walked towards the box in front of her and knelt down.
This Thousand Year old Black Iron lock wasn’t something that could be broken by pure strength.
Apart from a very specialised custom made key, no other ordinary carpenter could easily open it.
But, seeing this box, she just wanted to use the simplest, most brutish method, and her favourite.
If she could, she’d just get a sharp sword and hack at it.
So annoying.
Thinking it through, Lou Qingwu’s eyes grew sharp as she walked towards the emperor’s eunuch, Liu Jin.
“Eunuch Liu, could we speak?”
Liu Jin looked towards the emperor and seeing the emperor agree, he walked over.
“Countess, is there something you would like to order me to do?”
“En.” Lou Qingwu nodded her head as she took a step closer to Liu Jin before telling him a few things.
Liu Jin looked at her strangely but he didn’t ask anything before hurrying away.
Lou Qingwu stood in the centre leisurely, calmly looking downwards.
The night pearls all around her shone and cast a soft light on her, making her look even more gentle than usual.
“Qingwu, why are you wearing a facial veil?”
