Having such a woman by his side wasn’t bad—at least she wasn’t as dull as the concubines in the prince’s residence.
He would just toy with her, make her pay for her audacity.
“You think a few casual words can erase your act of fleeing the marriage? You’ve made me lose all face and brought shame upon the royal family. Do you know what fate awaits you?” Xiao Che sneered, striking Jin Luoluo on the shoulder with a palm.
The blow pierced like needles into her bones. Jin Luoluo was in extreme pain, yet she endured it, not letting a trace of it show on her face.
Damn it—this wretched jinx dared to hit her.
She lifted her chin arrogantly. “This matter is for the Emperor to decide. Third Prince, it seems you don’t have the authority to deal with me.”
Xiao Che’s pupils shrank as he stared coldly at Jin Luoluo.
This woman had taken his blow and still dared to provoke him.
Sooner or later she would fall into his hands—then she would understand the consequences of offending him.
“Hmph… Jin Luoluo, do you know that forging an imperial decree is a capital crime?” The Emperor, seeing his usually calm and composed son angered to the point his face darkened, couldn’t help but grow deeply interested in this future daughter-in-law.
“The law is tempered by human feelings. Let’s not talk about that for now. Your Majesty, don’t you find this jade pendant in my hand familiar?”
Ignoring the pain in her shoulder, Jin Luoluo smiled and waved the jade pendant.
Since she dared to storm the Golden Throne Hall, she naturally had a trump card.
On a certain day, the Emperor, bored in the palace, slipped out to the Lihua Pavilion to listen to Miss Xiaorou play the zither, and ended up making a bet with her.
He lost everything down to his underwear, and in desperation pawned his dragon pendant before changing clothes and leaving.
As it happened, she was the owner of that very Lihua Pavilion, so the dragon pendant naturally fell into her hands.
For the Emperor, this was an utterly humiliating incident.
He certainly didn’t want anyone to know. And Jin Luoluo had successfully seized this leverage.
Blackmailing the Emperor.
The moment the Emperor saw the jade pendant, he immediately understood.
A dignified emperor losing a bet until he was stripped bare—if that got out, he’d lose all face.
How did this wretched girl know about it?
Cold sweat broke out on the Emperor’s forehead. “Yes, yes, the law is tempered by human feelings. Let’s talk this through, let’s talk this through…”
