My Lady is well

Chapter 167 Concubine?

Shen Yueyao slowly walked into the west courtyard room, thinking about Qi Feng's words in her mind.

He wanted to use her to lure the emperor out of the palace and then assassinate him.

She lowered her head in thought, recalling how calm she was when Qi Feng held her hostage today when she faced Jing Ruzhang.

I secretly sighed in my heart that this person is quite smart and should not be underestimated.

Jing Ruzhang is not a stupid person. If Qi Feng really lures him out, Jing Ruzhang will definitely be fully prepared.

By then, I would probably be taken back to the palace.

Qi Feng once said that he would not restrict her freedom, but I don’t know whether it was true or not.

This is not a safe place, it would be wise to leave as soon as possible.

Based on her understanding of Jing Ruzhang, she would definitely send someone to look for him.

Her experience today was thrilling and she was now exhausted.

She glanced around the room casually. There was an elm bed, a tea table, and a few chairs. There was also a small couch piled with bedding by the window. Although the furnishings were simple, they were still clean and tidy.

After lighting the oil lamp, the room was still dim.

Jin Er complained, "What about the wing rooms? There are not even two more lights. The rooms in our house were better than this one, how can the master live here? Also, when we were having dinner just now, there was a large table full of men, including the tiger who was our captive. The way he ate, I thought he could eat a pig in one bite. It was so scary."

Shen Yueyao chuckled.

"As captives, we are treated like this, so you should be content. I will discuss with Qi Feng tomorrow whether we can move to another place."

Shen Yueyao gently beat her arms, fatigue gradually eroding her consciousness. She yawned involuntarily and fell lazily on the couch.

The moment she lay down she uttered a mournful cry.

Ouch--

Her back was hurting from the couch. When Jin'er heard the sound, she hurried over to check the situation and asked with concern.

"Master, are you okay?"

She reached out to help her up, then touched the couch with her hand, her brows furrowed tightly.

"This bed is too thin. How can the master sleep on such a hard bed?"

Jin'er hurried to the small couch by the window, took off the quilt, and carefully spread several thick layers on the couch.

Shen Yueyao lay down again, feeling the softness and warmth under her body, and raised the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, praising.

"Jin'er, it's great to have you here."

Then I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep, breathing deeply.

Jin'er tidied the small couch, spread a warm quilt on it, and was about to blow out the oil lamp.

creak-

Suddenly there was the sound of a door opening.

Jin'er was startled and turned around to look at the person who came, only to find that it was actually an old woman.

She questioned angrily.

"What are you doing here? Can't you even knock?"

"Oh, I forgot... I came to get the quilt. Usually the extra quilts are placed in this room. Today, Master Qi and the others are here, so don't I have to come and get it?"

The old woman walked to the small couch by the window while muttering. When she saw that the quilt was gone, she screamed.

oops--

This sudden cry scared Shen Yueyao, who was sleeping on the couch, and she sat up quickly.

Asked in panic.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The old woman answered anxiously.

"Quilt, why is the quilt gone?"

Hearing this, Shen Yueyao couldn't help but frown.

Jin'er on the side glanced at the old woman and spoke slowly.

"It's on the bed."

When the old woman heard this, her eyes widened and she spoke angrily.

"Why do you need to lay so many? If you don't know, you might think it's some royal concubine, a queen in the palace."

"Our master is..."

"Jin'er."

Jin'er wanted to retort unconvinced, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Yueyao.

Shen Yueyao stood up from the couch and walked aside expressionlessly, not wanting to argue with the old woman.

The old woman was also very rude. She nudged Jin'er with her hips when she walked past her, then walked to the couch, rolled up the quilt without any hesitation, and was about to leave while carrying her.

Jin'er saw that she had rolled up all the quilts and only left a thin layer for her master.

How could she agree to this?

She immediately rushed forward, tightly grasped the quilt in the old woman's arms, and cursed angrily.

"You greedy old woman, how could you take it all? My mistress is pregnant."

The old woman showed no sign of weakness, and desperately pulled the quilt into her arms, saying viciously.

"Which woman has never been pregnant? Do all women have to be as delicate as her?"

"You evil woman, stop talking nonsense! I can't control others, but my master cannot be wronged."

Jin'er's face turned red with anger and she stared at her angrily.

Seeing this, Shen Yueyao hurriedly grabbed Jin'er and persuaded her in a soft voice.

"Don't argue with her yet..."

Before she could finish her words, another old woman came hurriedly, panting.

"The soldiers are coming. The soldiers are coming. Master Qi wants you to go to the East Courtyard."

"What are you going to do?" Shen Yueyao asked in a deep voice.

"How would I know? Master Qi asked you to go over, so hurry up." The old woman urged in an imperative tone.

Jin'er couldn't get used to her tone and grumbled softly.

"Who does he think he is?"

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly, thinking to herself that she didn't want to be caught again just after stepping out of the palace, just like last time.

Now that you are under someone else's roof, you should bow your head first.

She glanced coldly at the old woman beside her, who seemed to be frightened and lowered her head in disappointment.

Shen Yueyao said softly: "Jin'er, let's go."

As soon as Shen Yueyao stepped into the East Courtyard, Qi Feng came up to her with a sullen face.

"Dog Emperor, you're pretty quick."

He glanced at Shen Yueyao, and glanced at her slightly bulging belly with disgust.

"Listen carefully, from now on, you are my concubine, whom I bought at Cuihonglou at a cost of three hundred taels of silver."

Hearing this, Shen Yueyao and Jin'er couldn't help but stare at him with their eyes wide open.

Concubine?!

Cuihonglou? What a vulgar name!

This man is mentally ill.

Jin'er reacted quickly and hurriedly protected her master behind her. She was a little afraid of him and said in a trembling voice.

"You, you, you, a toad want to eat swan meat."

Shen Yueyao also found it quite unbelievable. She was still pregnant with his enemy's child?

How did he bring it up?

Qi Feng glanced at Jin'er with disdain in his narrow eyes and said arrogantly.

"Do you think I am happy about this? If the spy hadn't reported that the dog emperor's pursuers were coming, I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure."

Shen Yueyao glanced at him with disgust and analyzed.

"Since they are coming for us, they must have our portraits in their hands. If we let them in, they will definitely recognize us at a glance."

Qi Feng thought what she said made a lot of sense, so he crossed his arms and thought for a moment.

"Then what do you think we should do?"
