Jin Luoluo couldn’t bear to crush his hopes. “Well… the Third Prince already knows.”
Jin Gungun stared at her in shock.
“Even the Emperor knows. Right now they’re all waiting in the palace to skin me alive!”
Jin Gungun’s vision went black, and he fainted.
When they arrived at the palace, the three princes and the Emperor were already waiting there. The culprit, Jin Luoluo, was as arrogant as ever—she was the last one to arrive.
“Luoluo, why do I feel like something is very wrong with your outfit? It doesn’t look anything like someone coming to apologize for her crimes,” Xiao Yu was the first to voice his doubts.
Not only was Jin Luoluo late, but she was dressed like a complete bandit. A Scottish plaid headscarf was tied around her head, an Arabian golden dagger hung from her waist, and she wore a pair of exquisitely crafted beach sandals.
Xiao Yu was baffled. Weren’t people who came to beg forgiveness supposed to look humble and submissive?
Yet she looked radiant and self-satisfied. There wasn’t the slightest sign of guilt or insecurity. In fact, she seemed more like the host than any of them. The moment she sat down, she leisurely sipped tea. After finishing the tea, she started eating pastries, smacking her lips contentedly as she chewed.
“This is the trendiest bandit outfit in the capital. Handsome, right? Apologize for my crimes? Why would I do that? Didn’t you invite me here for tea?” Jin Luoluo blinked innocently.
“For tea? Jin Luoluo, have you forgotten your glorious deeds after resting for three days? Don’t play dumb. You know perfectly well what you’ve done.”
Xiao Che’s temper immediately flared up.
For the past three days, every time he remembered Jin Luoluo’s outrageously seductive appearance that day, he became furious. Nothing went smoothly for him. At the Ministry of Justice, he couldn’t even control his temper and ended up giving several stubborn prisoners who refused to confess a brutal beating.
Today, he had deliberately drunk several pots of calming tea before leaving home. But judging from the current situation, it had done absolutely nothing. The moment Jin Luoluo opened her mouth, she set him off again.
“Oh, right, right, right. I almost forgot about the good deed I did.”
Jin Luoluo suddenly looked enlightened. She took out the Dragon Pool Jade Cauldron and presented it to the Emperor.
Then she let out a sorrowful sigh.
“Your Majesty, because you said you wanted this Dragon Pool Jade Cauldron, Luoluo spared no effort and even sacrificed herself to win first place and obtain this treasure for you. What do my little sacrifices matter? Please don’t take them to heart. Even if Your Majesty ordered me to die, I would obey without hesitation.”
